Can I setup Apps2SD on my stock 1gb or will the card be too slow?
Well i dont know but i dont think so. Alot of people in these forums told me and other people that a class 2 8gb would cause problems and would slow down my device, but i guess there wrong because im pushing this card to its limit with no lags and no probs. So i will tell you, go ahead and use what you got.
I wouldn't I would go with a class 6 card at least if you want to put apps on a SDcard.
as long as it has a write/read speed of over 6mbs your fine to use that. so just bench it and find out for yourself. you dont want anything slower than 4mb.
read this thread, tons of info on write speeds and benching.

I did it for the past 4 months and haven't had any problems whatsoever. I was also running cache to sd as well. You won't notice as much of a performance boost, but you will notice a boost, since you have alot more memory available on the phone.
I actually did it this morning with my stock 1GB sd card. Everything is peachy

I got apps2sd on my 8gb. I see what you saying, but budget wise hes probably just trying to use what he has. I have a class 2 8gb and i habe no probs when i sent my apps and cache to my sd. But if he has the money i would recommend the 6 class 8gb also.

Exactly just trying to save a buck or two while I test it before going for a class 6. Thanks everyone for your comments.
I Also have a 4g class 2 SD card with well over 60 apps installed, along with my dalvik-cache. I have 65mb free on my phone and My phone runs amazing. I'm sure that the Class six would load apps faster due to the higher flash memory. But I have no experienced a single problem with my 4g class 2 card.
Neither have I.
If you guys do a test on the mSD you would find out that the stock card is actually a Class 6. Enjoy
update
Just thought I'd post back here to let you know that I got my Apps moved over pefectly to my stock card with no problems. Thanks again for all your help. I hope to pick up a class 6 8gb card soon! .

Thats good to hear but i thought classes were specs for sdhc cards only?
Buy a good SD Card
I bought a 4gb class 6 card, and when i partition it to do apps to sd it doesnt work and corrupts the disk. so make sure you buy a quality card, as I am now going to buy a better card so I can do apps to sd.
go to newegg.com that is where i am going to get mine, and choose sandisk, A-data or kingston or another quality sd card. 4gb or more is what i've seen suggested, i am going to get the 8gb, there's one i found for 20.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211341
good luck!

FYI
MicroCenter has 8gb class 6 cards for $15 if you have one in the area. I bought mine back in october...no problems at all.
ok i got a nexus one and im using apps2sd I want more memory like 16gb I can get a class 2 for like 40 bucks but im under the impression that i need a class 4 or 6 what's the best for the money or should I just get the class 2? I mean im using a class 2 card now and I've had no problems with it
I cant seem to find a higher class card. I would really love one. Right now i have a class 4 4gig. I would also love an upgrade soon
For linux swap on the SD card you'd want a higher class card, but is it really critical for Apps2SD? Most of the Class 2 cards have a fairly respectable read speed - it's the write speed where they fall down. The main area you might notice a slower card would be on installing new apps. I'm not sure if your Apps2SD solution includes storing app data on the card, but the performance impact of that would depend on how much data the app keeps locally.

If not i guess I'll still get it someone has to go first right?

no...newegg does not ship overseas
btw i use the 16gb a-data card and have no issues at all...it a much better price point compared to the newer 32gb cards at over 200 bucks
I'm using a class 2 16Gb SanDisk card and haven't had any issues with it.
Write speed can be a little slow, as someone mentioned. So installing large apps can take a little longer.
The /data directory is still on the internal storage, not on the card.
I don't have a Swap partition on my card either.
Music, movies, games, and apps have all been fine using app2sd on CM 5.0.5.3.
I got the Ridata class 6 from newegg when it was available for $48. reviews/speed are good.

I recently was looking for a fast MicroSDHC card and greatly considered Kingston's CLASS 10 card. Pricey, but should be fast.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139120
Ultimately I settled for an 8GB Transcend, Class 6. I need to wait for the costs to come down on the larger, faster cards.

Thats cheap, here in DK it cost 137,40 $ for the Kingston class 10
Can I remove it? I have a 16gig card id like to put in the phone... Thanks!
Yup you can swap the cards

I'll piggyback on that question because I just ordered a 16GB class 10 card myself (I know class 10 is overkill, but who knows what we get in the future .
I guess my question is, if you put a different sd card that is not a gold card, can you still use features like Backup and Restore in ROM Manager?
Are there any differences in any other ways?

Yes, you can. The goldcard was only needed to perform s-off/root/etc. I used an old 2gb sd card as my gold card and then swapped it and tossed it aside in case I need a gold card in the future.
I just purchased 32gb microSD card and I was about copy everything from the old one to the new and start using it. However, I forgot old one was a goldcard.
My questions is will I run into any, like rom flashing, issue new one not being a goldcard?
My current rom is Coredroid V4.8
Thanks

The gold card is only needed to root the phone the initially or if you revert back to stock and want to root again. You will be fine.

It's simple.....copy all contents from 16gb card (insert in phone...mass storage) to computer. Then insert 32gb in phone....mass storage and copy the contents of the 16gb card (wherever u saved it on ur computer) and paste them into the removable disk shown in my computer....

I agree! My room mate actually tuned me on to HD Tune. This program has a utility built in that will test, real-time, the write/read speeds on the card. Test it the moment you get it, for at least 20 minutes uninterrupted. If it doesn't match the specs it should, return it. If you use Ebay, I would suggest purchasing with paypal, as they have a buyer protection program which helps with issues of "fake" cards.
Sidenote: these cards aren't actually fake. They do work. the problem is they are using cheap parts and even cheaper labor for the manufacturing of these cards, so they may, and probably will fail. Either partly or all the way. what I mean by this is...For example.. you purchase a 32gb class 10 card... 2 months later, the card only reads as 27gb or some weird number. this is a fake. Still usable, but not what you paid for.
Good to know, thank you!

Where did you get your 32GB class 4 card from? I see them out there on Amazon and eBay, but I'm having issues trusting them.

I just purchased a ADATA 32GB card and copied all my data and files over from my 8GB with no problem but when I first look at the data it's all there, then some videos and pictures aren't there, just a "!" and I can't access them. I've switched back to my 8, anyone think I have a bad card?

It's possible. I just ordered a 32GB Sandisk class 4 from Amazon.com. No issues with it. I trust nothing but Sandisk.
Yep, after 3 bad generic sd cards, sandisc is the only one that works. You were right!

Hi All,
I plan on buying a new SD card (16 GB). Is SDHC Class 10 good? I believe it is supposed to have good r/w speed. Any specific brand to look for? I could only see Transcend and Verbatim on online site.
Is there any way to move app as is from the old to the new SD card? I do have Titanium backup but wondering what happens if I insert new memory card. All my apps are installed in internal memory with some games having downloaded files on SD card.
Thanks in advance.
Save yourself money and get class 6. More than enough.
Go for any known brand. You.can just copy contents from old card to the new one.

I disagree, brand and class do matter. If you can buy class 10 Kingston , they are pretty fast and have lifetime warranty.
M experience with slower cards. If you play games and listen to music sometimes it can stutter , if your internal storage is not big (Sensation has 1gb which sucks) you tend to move lots of stuff to SD so if the card is slow it certainly affects overall performance.
This was the case with Desire, indeed, but mainly for ext partition.

As stated above go for a good brand. Like SanDisk/Kingston, I've tried cheap ones and they've failed quickly. My current one is a Lexar which seems OK.
There is an app on the market that you can use to benchmark the card. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it. I found an old 4GB SanDisk which was Class 4 performed better than Class 6.
