SD Card Transfer - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys, I currently have a 8gb sd card on my HTC One V.....
It's almost full and has a lot of nandroid backups and other data on it.
I just bought a 16 gb card on ebay and what I wanna know is if there is any way to transfer the file system/data from my previous sd card to my new one without changing anything.
Thanks.

[Q]What happens if i got a new SD Card?

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.
okay but what happend with the ext3 partition ?

ext2/3 Partition u can access by a linux live-cd like knoppix.
or try totalcommander with the ext2 extension from a win-box.

[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?

[Q] SD Card replacement

Hi all!
I got a rooted and modded LG GT540 and I use a partitioned 4GB SD card (1 ext2 and 1 main partition).
Now I want to put a new 8GB or 16GB card on my phone. Is there a way to copy all the layout of the old card and build the new in such a way that it will be directly recognized by the phone, so that I dont set again the phone from the beginning?
Please help.
Thanks!
Hi there, just copy paste. If yo have a SD card reader use the computer for the new card and the phone as external disk. Copy your phone's SD card and replaces it with the new one. I recommend to stay with the original brand of the SD card which is often Sandisk.
But wouldn't that just copy data and not the partitions?

And that's exactly why I started this thread. I could just do the obvious and try to copy everything. However I believe there are some issues if you' re about moving to a larger SD. For instance, what about the ext2 partition. Should it be the same size? Should it be the same percentage against main partition?

[Q] HTC Sensation z710a - Upgrading to new SD Card issues

I am having issues upgrading to a bigger SD Card.
I have been using the stock 8GB SD Card and now I am upgrading to 32GB SD Card.
I am using Total Commander on my PC to backup all of the files on my old SD Card to the PC and then transfer the files onto my new SD Card.
Problem is when I boot up off the new SD Card it wipes all of the data and I can't seem to get around it.
Any suggestions?
Anyone?
As soon as I put music, photos or videos on the card it is wiped when I boot up the SD card on the phone.
Actually I wonder if my phone doesn't support SDHC and that's why it is not working.

[Q] Can I install applications on the Micro SD card storage?

Like the title suggests, I'm asking if it is possible to install apps on the storage of the Micro SD card.
To make my self clear, I'm not asking if an apk can be installed from the SD card.
Also, if its not possible to install apps on the storage of the micro SD card, is there a working way to swap the internal and external SD card?
I'm a note 2 owner so, i wan't to know if i'll buy my sister this HTC Butterfly if she can install >16GB worth of apps.
Thank you.
Without playing and modding stuff , NO ... and even when done there's high risk of data corruption
ya, tried that before in my previous S3, and data corruption is so easy to happen, i won't recommend to do it too...
So, its safe to assume that as of this moment, there aren't any way to successfully swap the internal and external SD of the HTC Butterfly.
Also, I cant install apps in the External SD Card Storage.
