I was wondering if any one knew of a way to do it. In my optimus f6 days a Dev named Warrantyvoider managed to do this for us and it worked flawlessly I was wondering if any Dev here knew how to get it to work I have his original files he doesn't own a lollipop device so he can't really try and test but if someone here could I would appreciate it. His mod basically copied your whole system , data everything to a partitioned SD card . giving u more internal storage . a good class 10 SD card was needed and 2 partitions one ext 4 and the other one FAT .
If anyone has knowledge on how to make this work I think this would be very helpful for us
Thank you

Im getting a bigger memory card for g1. Have Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 Do i have to format the new card for everything to work or just pop it in. Backed up sd card on laptop. Any answers appreciated. thanx ( by forma ti mean wipe partition card and such)
You're going to have to, at the very least, format it to FAT32 so that you can actually use it. Second, you will have to make an ext2, 3 or 4 partition if you want Apps2sd to work. Setting a 3rd partition for swap would be up to you if you decide to use it or try a hero rom in the future. Look at the current partitions on the memory card you use and just create similar partitions for the new memory card. You will also have to copy your current ext2, 3 or 4 partition to your new memory card if you currently have Apps2sd enabled on your current rom because that is where all the apps are stored.
thanx
i figured i would but just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the reply and you guys do such a great job that i wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you guys do.

I think you have to buy new card
Some SD cards have problems with android. Problem might be fixed later, but for now use another card.

sounds like you broke the sd card. as android runs from the sd card it could have been corrupted when u pulled it out.
Ps. If u did not spoil your sd card, sd card not found problem could actually be fixed by hp format tool. Probably android does not read the format of the sd card at first....
thank you all.i will try it.and if it don't work,then i should buy new one.
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?

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......
Hello,
could someone pls tell me if it is possible to use android without a storage card?
I just borrowed a storage card of my friend, tomorrow i have to give it back to him.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
not possible yet, NAND is in development - be patient, there are some guys working on it, but I don't know exactly if there is still a SD card required because the internal memory is limited
hi, im a phone newbie first off. I just bought a 32gb sd card to replace the 8gb HTC gave me.
Do i just copy and paste all the files on the 8gb to the fresh 32gb?
And do i need to format the 32gb sd card...or make any new files?
Thanks alot.
Hey there, I'm doing the exact same thing at the moment!
I checked and both the 8GB card and the new 32GB are partitioned with FAT32. I'm copying over exactly what was on my old one onto the new one as I'm writing and I'm expecting it to work.
I'll report back in a few minutes with a confirmation.
UPDATE:
I've successfully copied over the contents from one micro SD card to the other and can confirm that everything works fine! No special formatting needs to be done either. Transfer your data away and you should be good to go!

The one that came with the phone was a class 4 and the new 32GB I'm now using is a class 10. Works just fine on CM7 as well as on Virtuous Quattro
That's good to know. Waiting for my new sd card to come.
