Anyone know if the new 64gig micro SD card will work in bionic? I've read that it will. But would like to hear from someone that has it installed

Yes, I'm using a SanDisk 64GB right now, You just need to format it to FAT32 before you use it.

What kind of speeds do you get with that thing?
I can confirm it works; I am using it also. It is a class 6 and is noticeably quicker than the stock one. I replaced a class 10 32 gb card and have noticed any speed diferences between the 2. I would recommend formatting it with your phone.
Are the any special needs to change a card? Can I simply copy data from the old to the new, without having to reinstall programs?
I have a 32gig class 10 I would like to install.

Just copy your files from the old SD card to your PC (make sure hidden files/folders are included). Then power down your Bionic, swap the SD cards, and power back up. You may wish to format your new card from within the Bionic at this point (go to Settings > Storage > Format SD Card). Then you can copy all your files back over.
Just a tip, to get the most out of your class 10 card you may want to tweak the cache size. There's an app in the Market called SD Card Tester that you can use to measure your speeds. Make sure to change the path from /sdcard to /sdcard-ext by tapping in the top-right corner until it gives you the option. Then you can use another app called SD Booster to experiment with different cache sizes and see which one works best. The default size is 128k. With my Samsung 32 Gb Class 10 card, I found 4096k gave me the best speeds, but YMMV.
Thank you for the reply. I have two questions about your answer.
I changed the card, the option for formatting the SD card was grayed out, any ideas why?
Secondly, my phone is not rooted, is there any other way that you know of, to change the cache size?
Unmount first!

You first need to "Unmount SD card" and then the option to "Format SD card" will be available. I don't think there is really that much of a reason to mess with cache sizes. This card works great for me without trying to tweak it.

So I went through the process of rooting the nook color tonight, and got everything working great.
However...now my 16gb microsd is a 40mb microsd. I'm sure I'm an idiot, and I'm missing something...but how the heck do I talk this thing into being a 16gb card again?
(it's the card I made into the bootable nooter image, in case this isn't coming through clearly)
Here is how I did it.
1.type 'diskpart' in the run prompt
this will bring you to a DOS prompt2.type 'list disk'
this will list all the volume available3.type 'select disk #'
in the #, use the number from your SD Card4.type 'list partition'
it'll probably be partition 1, be just to be sure5.type 'select partition #'
select the bootable SD Card partition6.type 'delete partition'
now the 40mb partition is deleted and you can reformat under Disk Management
that didn't work for me, but it jogged my memory enough to find disk management in windows 7, and delete the partition. Thank you!
I just put my SD card back in the nook. Once there I unmounted it and formated it. got my 4 Gb back. Nice and easy.

I did the same thing.
I tried that, but didn't have success, hence the question and workaround.
If you're using a windows machine try download the official SD Formatter from:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
It will wipe out all your partitions and formats the card using 32kb allocation units vs the standard windows 4096 which gives better read/write performance.
this worked for me thanks
I have spent over an hour reading threads and searching, cannot find what I need.
I have CM7 on eMMC.
How do I get my sd card back to 8gb?
SOVLED
-My Computer-Right click on SD card Drive- Format - Card is now 8 Gigabytes
Had this last night but try formatting the SD card within your nook. I had an SD card with 1 gig image and was having the same problem.
Just to clarify. Use the format options within the nook. Sorry not in front of Nook at the moment.

I read that on CM7 on eMMC when doing that it formats the boot on the nook not the sd card, so did you do this or just think its the way to do it. THanks
Use this program, the free edition:
EASEUS Partition Manager
Windows can only see the first partition on your card. There are probably 4 partitions left from your emmc install. Plug your microSD card into your computer and launch EASEUS. You should see the driver letter assigned to your microSD card and 3 other unassigned partitions on your card. Right click on each of those partitions and delete them. Then either resize the primary partition Windows can see to the full size of the card, or delete that partition, then create a primary partition on the card that uses the full card size. You should now have your full capacity back.

No, I actually did the format using CM7 on my Nook Color. Bit hazy on the exact details, but if you look at the SD storage section in the Settings you should see the different SD cards and will show which to format. I had used my 8 gig SD card as a 120 meg SD boot with CWM so this SD card kept showing available space of about 120 meg (so I chose this to format).
'Should' be fairly obvious but can understand your hesitation.
FYI, I tried Easues Partition on my Windows 7 64 bit machine but did not recognize. Might be worth trying XP or Linux if you have but I would test the above option (Backup everything if concerned). I had just flashed CM7 to my nook so wasn't too bothered if I lost anything.
I can check when I get home.

Windows only sees one primary partition, so you have to use a partition manager to delete the other primary partitions. MiniTool Partition Wizard claims to work in all versions of Windows, I only have 32 bit Vista. Or you could use Linux in a virtual machine such as Vmware, it's free for home use.

Hello!
I'm planning to change my Xperia X8's SD Card.
I'm using Racht's custom rom, 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.20, also found in XDA forums.
Of course, this offers the use of apps2SD.
Would it be ok if I just copy-paste the contents of my old SD Card to my new one?
Would I still be able to use (without any problems) the apps I transferred to my SD card from the phone storage?
In other words, will all my files (apps2SD transferred files also) in the old SD card still work if I just copy-paste them to the new SD Card?
Very sorry if my explanation is complicated.
Thanks!
Yes it should be fine.
How did the change of SD Card go?
Im about to do the same thing and was wondering i its possible to copy all contet from current SD Card to my PC and then copy it to the new SD Card.

Sorry for the late reply.
I haven't really changed it yet due to my busy schedule. Hopefully, I would be able to find time.
I'll keep you updated!
As long as you did not partition the sd card with extended file system or any other fs that only linux can detect, there should not be a problem.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
If you have partitioned your old SD card with ext3 partition you can use any Linux live CD to simply copy/paste to your new card
superuser_
is mandatory to have two partitions with the same floyo0, 25. a standard card does not work like a normal android 2.2. roms or they also use the second partition as root and do the first time and we have to install link2sd to transfer apps to the memory card.
multiboot option
if u haven't already changed sd cards try to get a class 6 sd card as there have been multiboot options released, cm6 on phone memory and cm7 on sd card. check out multiboot thread on x8 development. two roms on one phone, its all gravy my friend.

how about a class 10 card? will it work on x8?
i think it will ok.
I changed from an 8 GB card to a 16. No problem at all. But my card doesn't support Multiboot. If you get a class 6 or higher you should be fine. You just need to copy a few files from the old card and it works fine.
I have just copied and pasted everything from one card to another, and it worked. It is great that now with rachts and doixhan's roms we have the support for app2sd!
Do you know if there is any way to test the speed of the SD directly from the phone? Thank you in advice!
I also am about to change out my SD card. I just upgraded from the stock 8gb card that I had partitioned which I did through ROM Manager to a brand new 16gb Class 10 SDcard
Is it also as simple as copying and pasting from my old SD card contents to the new one and boot it back up? Or would this delete the old ROM and stock ROM off of my SD card? I also wanted to know if I needed to partition this new card as well and if so, at what point do I do that?
I know this is probably really easy but I am new to flashing ROMS which is why I wanted to get a bigger and faster card! Thanks!

I thought the lower number of class like class two was faster than say a class ten? I've been wondering this and saw this post. What do you guys think is faster?
Class 2 or 10?

The class 10 is faster and more expensive......
Hello,
Ok, first, the briefing:
I used verygreen´s Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards to run CM7 (installer 1.3 -> nightly 87 + gapps) on my nook. Works great. Kudos verygreen.
I tested 3 different SD cards to do so. Sadly, none of my Class 4 cards worked and only an old Class 2 2g Toshiba did the trick. Since I don´t intend to have a big fight with my wife about why I need to buy a 2nd. class 4 SD card this week, I am keeping the 2g Toshiba. (I know, I know, I should´ve bought a Sandisk Class 4 to begin with but they're a not easy to come by here in Brazil. At least, not a real Class 4).
And this is my problem:
The CM7 sees only 350 - 400 MB available in the "SD Card". That is hardly enough for HD games. Meanwhile, the "internal" memory has over 700 MB available.
What I'd like to do is:
Change the SD card partition to move some of the available space from the "internal" memory to the "SD card" on CM7.
Question:
Is it possible? How? Is it gonna mess up the CM7?
Alternatively, I was considering WobbleTheHutt method to swap SDcard and emmc. But, before I do it, I need to know if this method would affect the booting of the stock Nook. Does anyone knows?
Thnx.
I freaking did it!
I freaking did it! And it's running smoothly!
Ok! For those who want to give it a try.
First, I used Gnome Partition Editor for Windows to decrease the size of the EXT partition. Then, I used Minitool Partition Wizard Home edition to increase the FAT partition.
I actually created a image of my original SD card, just in case, but it was unnecessary since it didn't mess any of my data or apps. Still, as a security measure, I suggest who ever try this to also create a backup image of the original SD card.

Hey! Nice idea.
I was looking for a method to backup my CM7(verygreen) SD card but I don't have a card reader with me currently.
Is is possible to backup complete SD card(all 4 CM7 partitions) using just the nook and windows??
P.S. I have Clockworkmod recovery installed onto emmc, if it's possible through that?
thanks.

Nice Day Guys And Fellas!
I'm Here Today With Another Guide, hope It will find people who need it and be useful to them.
I found the possible solution for Note 4 SDcard Issue after dealing so much with it, posting here it may help some people.
History :
If you own an SDXC or 64GB SD card or higher with exfat you probably faced suddenly disappearing all the sd card contents where says the sd card is empty and after a reboot it shows the content, Or either later indicates SDcard is currupted, mine started with this issue right after buying a fresh SDXC and formatting it using Windows, Note 4 and etc goes to same scenario after some time, it actually happens because Note 4 and Windows formatting SD Card using exfat FS.
In this guide you need a windows PC or TWRP or Mac at your choice.
Steps to fix the issue :
I assume only high speed sd cards (SDXC and U1+) with exfat larger than 32gb are problematic with note 4 and smaller size than 64gb can be formatted to Fat32 without any tools already in Windows, so this guide is intended for high end ones, like the one i had Silicon Power SDXC U1 Elite class 10
Metod 1: (recommended)
1. Detach your MicroSD card (most known to be problematic type sd is SDXC)
2. Insert it to SD Adapter place to your laptop (if your computer has no dedicated sd slot attached to motherboard better use a laptop otherwise use Card reader) and remember drive letter
3. Store your sd content to your pc to restore later.
4. Download EaseUS partition master (free or other type) all will do the job
5. Right click on the right drive letter corresponding for your SD Card and select Format
6. Give it a name Like "SDcard" or what you like then select Fat32 for file system, finally select 64kb for cluster size, and press OK button
7. Finally press the apply button in top left and magic happens
8. Now you can place back your files, your sd card is ready.
Method 2 TWRP
1. Backup your data in an OTG drive or Internal storage or cloud.
2. Boot into the TWRP select wipe menu
3. Push advanced wipe, select MicroSD card, push change File System button.
4. In this menu choose Fat and press the button, wait for it till the a message says successful appear.
5. Now boot to your system and you'll notice it's fixed and you can place your files back.
Method 3 Using Mac OS X:
If you own a Macbook or iMac or anything similar just attach your SD card to it using its Adapter then run the "Disk Utility" app in others folder or type it in Spotlight (don't forget to take a backup already) then Select erase button on the sd card and use Fat in the menu, just you need to do it Twice, then you'll good to go.
I was able to do that in Sierra with latest updates.
As the final note let me know your experience with this guide and if it helped you or unfortutly not.
If you find this article helpful don't forget to :good: press thanks button or send me some good and positive energy :fingers-crossed:
I have also a solution for sd card write permission, if needed i can mention that, but the workaround is not mine work.
I always use sd formatter 4 from sd association or formatting in Smartphone
64gb sandisk extrem - no Problem
This happens on my Note 4 Exynos N910C sometimes, with my Samsung 128GB Class 10 MicroSD card. But only when my phone is unplugged. It will sometimes show the card as having no contents (Gallery and other apps don't show SD card photos or videos, etc.) and to fix it I either have to unmount and mount the card, or reboot.
Is this the same issue?

Or is it a real fix for sdcard writing permission on MM and higher?

I have formatted the micro-SD card as you say, and when I rebooted my Galaxy Note 4, half of the things I had previously saved disappeared.
