Okay. So this is pretty easy. And I'm pretty new with this. The insuructions are VERY easy, so pay attention.
Okay the first thing I did was get cyanogens LATEST rom and his new recovery image. Whiped everything and reflashed.
Second, format your sd card using the g1 format option in the sd card and phone storage menu. Now after that go to termanel emulator. Type this
Su
cd /data
wget http://64.105.21.209/bin/lib/droid/sdsplit
chmod 555 sdsplit
exit
Now how much do you want to leave open for the patrion of the card. I'm using 500megabytes free out of an 8gb sd card. So this is what I would type next:
su
/data/sdsplit -nd -fs 7500M (ofcourse you can change this to your liking)
Go through everything. It'll ask you to patrion and wipe "y or n" ofcourse push the y key and hit enter. Go through everything and it will show a new patrion for you if you have done it correctly.
Now shut down. Hold home and power and go to the recovery. CYANOGENS recovery!! And go to move apps to sdcard option. Reboot. And your set! I did this yesterday for my class 2 8gb and it works flawlessly on cyanogens build. Seems to be glitchy with hero, but give it a try anyway. And sorry for the misspelled words, I'm typing all of this directly from my g1. Enjoy
Um...HOw is this any different from what we already have and know? SDSPLIT from MartinFick, yes obvious. You can also just download Apps2SD2 by MarcusMaximus and it'll automatically do it for you. Did we really need a new thread for this?
Why was another thread started for this?
We already have threads with AppsToSD instructions.
class2
Yea I know this is obvious. But it was a lot more difficult using a class 2 than a class 6 due to the fact you go in an infinate loop. This is the method to avoid all that for the people that don't have a class 6 card
Running apps off a class 2 Sd card is a bad idea. It's not fast enough and can cause a flurry of force close issues.
Ext2 partition
Does anyone know how to create a ext2 partition using a mac and ext2fs??
I dont see an option to create ext2 format in my disk utility.

Actually the only success I have had is with class 2 cards, I have been running a2sd on my class 2 sandisk for about a month and a half my two class 6 cards fried after a week each this class 2 is going strong and no force closes to complain about ::knocks on wood::
On another note this is a pointless thread since it seems like a copy paste from the sdsplit thread.

my class 2 16gb is running apps2sd perfectly. not sure why you have so many problems with it? i've only had one thing crash and force close. this was the browser and had nothing to do with my sdcard. i had to clear the cache and it worked fine after that.
So the "fact" that you cannot use a Class 2 SD card is nothing more than F.U.D?
What crap. I'm backing up my card and doing it now. hmpffff. What is there to lose?
Quick question will this also work with the original 1gb sd card?
Not likely. But make sure you have another sd card with a rom update just incase your phone starts going in a loop if your goin to try..who knows, you might get lucky

hey everyone, i recently got a new Patriot 16gb class 10 micro SD card, and its blazing fast, but i have problems with it, it works perfectly fine when i format it but once i start syncing my music to it, it causes my phone to freeze up and starts FC'ing all my programs, and when the screen turns off it doesnt turn back on and i have to reboot it. When i put in my old SD card it reads and functions perfectly.
what could be causing the problem? i have the exact same files in my new SD card as in my old one, so it couldnt be any of the files, can the D2G support class 10 SD cards? i tried SBF'ing and starting fresh but i still have the same problems, and formatting the drive and syncing the files again doesnt help. i even used h2testw to verify that the card isnt fake and it isnt.
You really need to stick to Kingston and SanDisk <= class 6

unfortunately, the droid series of phones dont support class 10 cards, it took me a very long time searching, but i found that out. either way, i traded my card for a class 6 card with my friend, so im fine, even though i downgraded, thanks.
I wouldn't be surprised if it could be patched at some point to support class 10.
But probably not on a locked Bootloader of the D2G
From what I read, its the hardware that doesn't support class 10 cards, from what I read only the desire HD class of phones and the atrix support class 10 cards

ok, what the hell is going on? i put in a 16gb class 6 card in my D2G and it acted up in the same way it did with the class 10 card, same thing with a class 4 card, what the hell is wrong? this is really pissing me off because ive wasted a lot of money on these sd cards, and none of them are working, my D2G only seems to like the standard 8gb that came with it.

Brand matters. Make sure it is either SanDisk or Kingston...

Its sandisk

Did you unmount and then remount the cards?
i tried everything at this point, if it doesnt freeze my phone it cant unmount, the few times i manage to unmount it and format it, i try to sinc my files back onto it and it starts freezing up again, im pretty sure at this point that its something wrong with my phone and not the sd cards, this has been happening with every 16gb sd card i can find
No offense, but are you sure it is indeed a SanDisk and not a Chinese cheap fake clone?
Yes it is indeed sandisk, I bought it off of newegg, not ebay where they sell the chinese clones, I ran h2testw to ensure it was up to spec and it is.

so no one knows whats wrong with it? im thinking i might have to rma my phone...
I'm having a similar issue with my D2G, and a 16GB Class-4 Lexar SD card. I used 'rsync' to copy all my data from my 8GB card to the 16GB, and it will boot up and work for a minute or so, then it either freezes up, or the screen turns off and I can't turn it back on again.
The only thing I have not tried is to use the phone to format the card. I almost want to say that when I first installed it, it seemed to work, but I didn't want to have to redo settings or re-download apps that are on the SD card. Maybe there's some data messing it up. I used 'rsync' so it should have gotten all the .hidden files, and respect any permissions, so I'm not sure what the deal is.
Maybe I just need to spend some time, and reload all my apps and redo my settings that might have been saved to the SD? Anyone else have this issue or something similar?

I just ordered a 16 gig class 10 and hope that it will work.... as it is a pain to return. Have heard that there is a great speed advantage to using the high speed card and sideloading most photo Apps to the card. Did u get the card to work in the end?

my class 4 16GB card worked, it was any card that was of a higher class that didnt work, to this day i still have my 16GB class 6 card that causes freeze ups and reboots on my phone no matter what i do, i have no idea what causes it to act that way, but im pretty sure that this phone has a class limit of 4
Hi,
Did you copy everything from your old card to the new one, or just start "fresh" with the new card?
Also, did you use the phone to format the new card, or just start using it out of the box?
Many thanks...

i pretty much tried everything, formatting it on my computer, formatting it on the phone, copying files over, starting from scratch and syncing my music, every time it would start out working fine, but once there were a few files on the sd card it would start freezing up, the thing works just fine on my friends inspire 4g, he had it before me and had all his music and files on it and it worked flawlessly, i dont see why it doesnt work on the d2g.
I'm unable to get my class-4 16GB card to work with my D2G, so I'm going to exchange it for a class-2. The phone is supposed to be able to take up to 32GB, correct? I'm starting to think it's an issue with anything > class-2 speed.
the sd card that the phone comes with is a class 4, and my class 4 16gb card worked, it might be your sd card as someone said earlier
Hey dear XDA peeps!
Ive got a couple of questions about microsd here
Ive got one 8GB Transcend card which I bought in the beginning and it seems to be working good. I then bought another 32GB Kingston card. It has worked pretty good but now it seems it is kinda fubared.. Ive unmounted it from the phone and connected it straight to the computer and Im having some problems copying stuff from the card. Which it was from the phone too..
How do I check the sd card for errors and fixes them? I dont have to keep the data on it.
What makes the sd card break? I understand how regular old harddisks die but what about sd cards? =)
And what brand for SD card shall I buy for the phone that have the best reliability?
Im trying to format the sd card but it just hangs and refuses to format it so I guess the card really is fubared :/
So what card brand do you recommend for best quality?
I've tried them all. SanDisk has the best microSD cards for the money. They are also faster than spec'ed. If you can't get SanDisk, get Kingston.
Transcend is the slower than SanDisk or Kingston. I've heard good things about Patriot but never tried them. Stay away from off-brands or you risk serous problems.
For any mobile phone get a Class 4 SanDisk. Format it using SDFormatter.

Right click the SD in windows explorer, hit properties, tools, check disk. what makes SD card go out is every flash storage has a set amount of writes, after those they start to go out. Whatever you do though, do NOT defrag a flash based storage, you'll kill it. I use a Kingston 4GB in mine and I've had my SD for years (before this phone it was used to boot operating system installs on my laptop and used for my DS flashcart

Bears repeating...
Do NOT defrag Flash-based storage, you will kill it. Flash memory doesn't need defragging because it does not have mechanical heads like a magnetic hard drive.
I bought a new PNY 32GB Class 10 SDHC card and currently have the memory card in my HTC Sensation 4G that came with it. I'm sure I'll have to copy over all my pictures and music to the new card, but how will it effect things if I just pull out the old card and swap in the new one? Will the apps still run correctly or all be present, or will it cause conflicts with the phone for me to just swap it out? If so, whats the correct procedure? Thanks so much and I really appreciate any help!
Well, if you have applications on your SD Card, just move all of them to the phone memory temporarily (so that you can move them back again to the SD card after swapping)..Afterwards, you can safely remove your SD card by going to Storage--> Unmount Shared Storage..Finally swap the cards and move the apps back to the SD card again ..I don't think you will face any problem if you follow this method..
Hope this helps
If you just stick the other one in some apps will go. Especially all of the larger apps, all of them.
