hello there.I have a rooted(unrevoked) htc wildfire with a 2gb sd card.I want to change the 2gb card with a 8gb one.I have several questions about this:
1)Does unrevoked have anything to do with my sd card,i mean if i change the sd card will i have to root it again or will i somehow brick my wildfire?I dont really know how i rooted it...i just connected my htc with my pc and ran unrevoked...i remember i didnt do anything i just let it that way and after several reboots it was good to go.(is there unrevoked documentation available...for example i need to know what an hboot is...)
2)my 8gb sd card is formatted as FAT32...what types of format does android 2.1 support?and which is the best?
3)and one more dump question...will using a higher capacity sd card make my phone run slower than before...?although i think i already know the answer
thanks in advance
Hi, I've been trawling through the XDA archives and found noting that can directly help me so;
What I'm trying to do is move some [not all] apps to my SD card. My phone is GT540 running 2.1.
Ideally I would prefer to move the apps to the card on the device without rooting [I am able to root though] but as far as I know that's not possible, so I found Links2SD on market which has pretty good reviews but requires me to have a second partition on the card.
How would I go about doing this. If anyone has any better way of moving apps please tell, either way thank you in advance.
Hey everyone, I have a rooted DINC, used unrevoked and i'm running cyanogenmod 7. I have a stock 2GB card that is running out of space and i need to upgrade my card. If i upgrade to a bigger card is that going to mess with my root? i know that the Clockwork mod recovery files are on the current SD card.. what do i have to do to make this a smooth transition? I've already backed up my current files from the stock sd card.. Any help is much appreciated!
I don't think it will be a problem and if it is you'll just have to reroot which isn't difficult really
Backup your current SD card on to your computer, then place the files on the new card. Probably want to make sure the new card is formatted fat32 as well. It should be fine, you shouldn't lose anything. Clockworkmod just keeps your backup files on SD card, wont mess with root.

Thanks! that's what i wanted to know. One more thing... I can't find what class microsd card the Incredible comes with stock, when i buy a new card can i get a class 2, or should i shoot for a 6 or something. I wasn't sure if a class 2 card would be fast enough to handle the custom recoveries and all that..
Can't remember for sure but I think the stock card is class 2. I'd say that a class 2 or 4 would be fine. Not sure that the extra $$ for a class 6+ is really worth it, for our phones at least.

No you wont have to reroot. Copy all of your SD contents into a folder on your computer, then power your phone off, switch to the new card, power on, connect to PC, recopy all your files back to your card. That way you won't lose any files. Root has nothing to do with the SD card btw so don't worry about that.
If I've helped you show me a little thanks!
Hey I'm new to android, I rooted my epic 4g but didn't install any roms yet. I realize that I now want to upgrade my SD card storage. Would this mean I would have to root it again?
Hi, I have an HTC desire on orange. It has 500mb internal memory and I have a 32 GB sd card. I CANNOT move some apps to the SD card as Orange have put their own rom on the phone (I think! I don't know much about these things). The version of android is 2.2.
How do I install apps direct to SD card? Do I have to install a custom ROM, if so, how, and how dangerous is this? Could it ruin my phone?
