[Q] Will I have problems if I change SD card?

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.

[Q] G2x does not recognize internal memory

Hello all,
i just got myself a G2x .. rooted it installed CWM and flashed Eaglesblood 2.3.4 on it ... the problem i am having is that even though the phone shows 5.xx GB of memory on the phone when i launch an application like the Camera or anything else that puts anything on SD card it does not find the memory and refuses to work. any ideas?

While i havent tried EB 2.3.4, it is based on CM7 so I'm assuming it handles the internal/external sdcards the same way as CM7. The internal sdcard is mounted at /mnt/emmc and the external sdcard is mounted at /sdcard. There is a way to switch them around by switching the mount points. Search around and you should find it. I'm at work right now and the search feature on this mobile app sucks so I can't look it up.
The other/easier solution is to buy an external memory card.

or might he be confusing Internal Storage/Internal memory with an external SD card?
When looking at the numbers, you see x amount of phone memory available and 5.x amount of internal SD storage available...coming to around 8g. I bet he's confusing this for an external SD card.

i dont have a SD card inserted right now ... this is my internal memory ... i understand that

does that change anything ?

The way I understand it is that the G2X comes with 8GB of internal memory, divided into 2 partitions, and an empty slot for an external sdcard. There is a 1.xxGB partition for system use, and a 5.xxGB partition for user files (music, photos, videos, etc). The stock ROM considers this 5GB partition as the /sdcard, and if you insert an actual external card it is mounted within the sdcard directory as ./_ExternalSD.
CM7 (and I'm guessing EB 2.3.4 does as well since its based on CM7) mounts that 5GB partition as /mnt/emmc and the actual external memory card gets mounted to /sdcard. So if you dont have an actual sdcard inserted into the phone then your then your apps that rely on an sdcard won't have one to use.
The 2 solutions are to: 1) change the mount points of the external sdcard and the 5GB partition, or 2) insert an external memory card.

or i came up with option no 3... revert back to stock froyo 2.2.2 and this problem goes away .. will stay on this till i have my SD Card

Lol yea or that. If you want a good rom that utilizes the memory the same way as stock, try Ultimate G2X 1.0. Its rock solid and fast and has a great theme.

will check it out .. thanks a lot bro ... you are awesome

[Q] how do I repartition the internal SD card to use full amount of Internal card

Hello, first off im running CM7 nightly 164 & the trinity kernel OC.
like the title says, how do I repartition the internal SD card to use full amount of Internal card for install apps.
currently the G2x is setup like apps partition is 1.5gb, internal SD card is 5.5gb & my external SD is 14.7gb.
CM7 already fixed the issue with the phone using the external SD by default for game data files (gameloft), downloads, etc.
but Im still limited to how many apps I can install. I dont want to use crap like apps2sd or whatever to transfer the installed apps to internal SD card.
Im trying to set the phone up like......apps partition is 7gb internal & my external SD.
Ive already searched & this is all I really found pertaining to the same ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265540&highlight=repartition+internal+sd+card
I hope that made sense
Thanks

Good luck I tried too

miui v10.4 apps not moving to external sd HELP!!!

Hello everyone...
this is my first post on xda since i couldnt find any solution if i'm at fault kindly bear with me
1. i flashed my gt i9003 with miui v10.4 a week ago and everything was going fine
2. but today i suddenly got a notification that my storage was full
3. when i checked i noticed that the apps i installed were on internal sd card which is just 2gb(1.7gb usable)
4. i tried moving some apps which were installed on phone memory only to see them move to internal sd card.
5. i have a 32 gb external sd card which is visible in file explorer and i can browse the files but the apps when moved from phone memory doesnt move to external sd card.
6. kindly help me out with the above issue where i can move the apps i installed on phone memory to external sd card so that i can use it for installing games and not limit its usage to just songs and videos.
7. thank you

As much as i have used miui-gb i think external sd sometimes stay as external_sd folder only...try to format or reflash the rom.
As phone is having 1.85 gb of internal memory why dont u use it until it doesnt get full ???
U can use sd swap which will interchange internal and external sd.

Need Help with a Rooted LG Volt

Ok I have an LG Volt thats running Android Kitkat 4.4.2. it has like 4gb of internakl memory and I have a 32gb SD Card in it thats not being utilized. I rooted it because I read with a rooted phone you can move apps to SD Card and clear out bloatware, and I need to make space on my internal memory. I have 1gig of free space left and a game on my phone (that i actually want) is taking up another gig. I want to move that to my SD card but it only moves the app (which is only taking 3mb) it wont move the app data which is taking 1gig. How do I move that data to my Sd card?
Ive tried titanium backup but that doesnt list a move to Sd Card option. Ive tried link2sd, but link 2 SD card is greyd out and it says second partition not found (do i really need to make multiple partition on an SD card to do that? Why not just use the free space thats on its default partition?) and when I try to move it from my phone to my SD card in that program I get a failure message that says "App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your sd card" and then sometime if I try to link it says something about os emulation.
So what I need is step by step instruction on how to move an app (including its data) from my internal storage to my Sd card on my rooted 4.4.2 lg volt. OR how to upgrade my lg volt from kitkat 4.4.2 to Marshmallow 6.0 without bricking it because I hear Marshmallow allows you to turn your Sd card into internal storage which would give me 32 GB of internal storage instead of 8 thus I can keep all my app in my new "internal storage" and not care. Thank you.

surely someone knows >.>

Search lg volt on android forums. Go to root and there's going to be a various selection of threads. Currently devs are working on CM13 I have it installed on mine and yes my SD card is now internal. CM 13 works perfectly BUT some phones may have a green tint in there camera.
