Thanks for your answer.
I read somewhere - don't remember where unfortunately, that SD Cards above 32GB (SDXC?) needs to be formated in FAT32. Is that what you mean? I've heard too, that some custom ROMs requires some other SD Card partition - extSD or something. Then when I'll format new card in FAT32 is it still possible to flash custom ROMs and will they handle this card?
Thanks in advance for your answer

i think that fat32 format will work for sure both on stock and on custom roms, but exfat needs additional drivers which are not present for stock, so will only work on (most) custom roms.

Hi all,
Soon receiving a microSD for my Samsung Galaxy S. What is the best way to format this? Simply stick it in the phone and click 'yes' when being asked about it?
Or should I pre-format the microSD before sticking it in the phone, so I can use another/better filesystem than whatever the phone would default to?
If so: Which filesystems are supported (for a 16GB microSD), and which one would be the best one?

I formatted mine with fat32 file system, works a treat and never had any problems.
I was wondering if I can format my SD card with NTFS ? I would like to place some >4GB files on it... Also, how would this affect performance ?

since i have so many SD cards
if it works that will solve a lot of headaches from the FAT32 restrictions
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.

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......
Hi there, I know that theres a lot of posts on this forum regarding this issue but i didn't find comprehensive answer to how to move Apps to an External SD card on the G Note.
I'm not an expert with Android as I am in the transition from the iPhone, but I'm not too much of a noob as I have a bit of knowledge due to hacking and jailbreaking with the iPhone.
Now here is my problem. I have a lot of Apps that are hogging my storage and I have come to a point where I cannot install anymore Apps. When I try to copy it to the external SD card (16gb Class 10), it is actually copying it to the internal SD card. I have tried all those Apps like App2SD and I still haven't had any luck. I even tried all the tutorials on this site and still no luck.
I know there are easy methods with Froyo, but I don't want to downgrade as I am currently on "ICS(4.0.4) Stunner Beta 5.0" and it runs like a dream on the Note! If worse case scenario that I have to downgrade to achieve this, the lowest I will go back to is a factory rooted Gingerbread.
Even when I was on factory rooted Gingerbread I still had this same problem before the upgrade.
Right now the only way is to edit vold.fstab file but that will cause bigger issues with ICS and Stunner in particular
Your best hope is wait for a new version of Stunner where the internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/emmc and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and that should solve your issues completely
I read Neo talking about it and I think he will implement this structure in the next release
Thanks for the quick reply! Thats great news.. If i have to wait for a Stunner update, is there another ICS or Gingerbread release or tweak that could fix this?

I have micromax funbook with ICS 4.0.3..in my tablet internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/extsd - Even I need a solution as most HD games are huge and its usable internal memory is only around 2gb.
In my friends Samsung Galaxy S external sd card was mounted as "sd card" and we were able to move installed apps to 16gb memory card need this fix.

GL to SD. Basically it can move all/selected gameloft games to EXTERNAL SD card
Dont forget to thank if it works!!
Any solutions?

Try searching re-partitioning your internal memory. It increases your current 2 GB Max internal memory to 4-6-8-10 GB by reducing your internal sd card. This way you can install many apps without having to move it here n there. thread is by @metalgearhathaway.
A problem
Actually, i modified the vold.fstab file and partially bricked my tablet. It gets stuck on the booting logo and recovery console seems to be useless because the wipe data/factory reset option doesn't work. It's an A23 based 7 inch tablet for which i'm unable to find a ROM to flash it with. Any help would be appreciated. Or is there any way to re-modify the vold.fstab file to the old state? Or to reset the ROM?
Hey guys!
As you may know, the XSP has slooow internal memory. So I devised to install system on SD Cards.
Is there any chance to install Lollipop on SD Card?

Actually it could be possible by tweaking the kernel to mount the SD card partitions to /system, /data, /cache etc., but I'm not sure.
Thanks Tomoms
Year ago i saw universal method (without kernel support).
so can we have this thng working plz

Hey if you didn't figure it out yet it's simple you need to format the sd and an option will show to choose for external or internal storage you can also find an app to partition some of the sd for rom expand but it kills the sd fast.
I would really like to do this also... I can move some apps to sd not all the ones I want to.. I have rooted and tried different apps to do this. I do not get the option to use some of sd as internal after formatting. 32gb model with 64gb sd

Newer tablets no longer allow this because it is a very bad idea. Internal storage is MANY times faster than the SD cards and allowing apps to run from the SD card would make the device very "laggy".
