Thanks guys

So im considering upgrading my SD card and going to a 16gig one from an 8gig one. I have Move2SD Enabler and most of my downloaded apps over on the SD card. What would happen if i copied everything from my current SD card and just dropped it onto a brand new 16gig one and inserted that into my phone? Would i not notice anything or would it break all those apps?
any help? Im sure there is a quick answer to this.

Hi,
I have upgraded my SD card by these steps:
- Make the titanium back up and copy all contents of your SDcard to the pc.
- Then change the SDcard for the new one & format it in your phone.
- After formatting, copy the saved contents from the pc back to your new SDcard.

ext2/3 Partition u can access by a linux live-cd like knoppix.
or try totalcommander with the ext2 extension from a win-box.
I'm running MiniCM6 1.0.0 on my Xperia X8 with Apps2SD working. I have moved many apps from the phone to the SD card. The problem is that the card's size is too small for me. I need a 4GB one. I've seen many threads that some guys had problems when changing SD cards.
If I copy all the files in my current SD card and transfer them to the new one, will I have any problems? My apps will still be there, right?

You don't say whether the apps on the SD card are in the FAT32 partition or in the SD-EXT partition.
The FAT32 area can be read and copied using a PC.
Should be able to backup the NAND and EXT in recovery. (My phone is a G1 but I've used CM roms for most of the past year. The backups created in recovery are available on the FAT32.)
Always make a good backup in recovery. When you try the transfer to the larger card, you can always go back if something didn't work quite right..
Sorry but I'm not familiar with these concepts, I'm still a noob
Can't I just copy the files of my old SD card to my PC and then transfer them to the new SD card?
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.
Hello guys 2 questions,
- is it possible to move apps to external sd card without the root?
- dont know why most of files managers can't see my sd card, do I need any special way to format sd card?
Cheers
Hi all,
I've just found a way to convert file system of my SD card from FAT32 to NTFS (which allows me to copy extreme large files to the SD card). But I don't know if it harms the SD card.
What if I do the same thing to the internal SD card in my phone ?
I'm glad that I can now copy an 8 GB file to my SD card .
Thanks in advance !

Not sure your phone can read a NTFS SD Card... Being that Android is based on Linux, there might be issues reading the file system or possible corruption.
I wouldn't do it. What are you copying on to your SD Card that's 8GB?
I do believe u can read from the card, but I dont think android supports write to ntfs
