So I recently rooted and installed a custom rom on my sensation xe. During the process i installed the 4ext recovery. Now I'm planning to increase sd card memory, so will buy new card in a couple of days. I noticed that there's a folder of 4ext recovery in my sd card, so if i change sd card, what happens to recovery? Do i have to reinstall the recovery? Or do i only copy the folder onto new card?

i doubt it will harmed the 4ext
probably when you insert the new sdcard it will create the folder but if don't then just copy the existed one

It may change any themes you have installed but other than that nothing just remember to copy your back ups over to the new card

I think you need to unmount the external SD before removing it...try going into fastboot and running the adb commands for mounting the SD card again, they can be found in several of the guides.
Remember that your Xoom will not view the external SD card as anything but part of the memory...the /external directory to be exact. When you connect to your PC you only see the Xoom and you need to navigate to storage/extrnal....you don't get seperate explorer windows for the internal and for the external SD as you do with most phones.

I flashed my friends G2x Gingerbread with Clockworkmod via NVFlash. After that, I rooted the phone with jboxer's zip. I was going to install EaglesBlood rom but when I booted into recovery and tried making a backup, it said "Can't mount SD Card" and it didn't create the backup.
I had to go into ROM Manager and create the back up and install the rom through there.
Now that the ROM is flashed, I can't use the camera because it says "Please insert an SD card before using the camera."
Also, in the notification bar there is an SD card symbol with a "!" on it and it says "SD card removed. Insert a new one"
What made the phone ask for the SD Card? Was it CWM?

Which card? The internal one that comes with the phone? Because I have an SD card and I put it into my friends G2x and then I was able to use the camera and everything.
The problem is that it's asking for the SD card and without it, the camera doesn't work.
Is an SD card needed to create a backup and flash a new rom? Is there anyway to use the External SD that's in the phone?

The memory in the phone is the internal "sdcard" not the external one. Making backups requires a physical sd card. What good would be making backups to your phone memory and then your phone gets hosed and you cannot access that memeory anymore and poof, backups are gone. Without an sd card the camera should be able to use the internal memory. Check the settings in the camera and make sure it is set to use internal memory. Also, some roms switch the internal "sdcard" and physical sd card around, which can get real confusing. But in recovery the physical sd card is always where the backups go (at least as far as I understand it).
Yeah I got it now. Cm7 does switch the internal SD with the microsd that's why the camera wasn't working, but there's an option to switch them around

CM7 assumes you have a physical sd card and that you want it to be the main memory the phone uses for "sdcard". I personally prefer to leave it as is to avoid confusion. It is just that if you use internal memory and your phone gets borked, you lose everything in the internal memory (a common problem with Galaxy S devices).
Is there an option for this in the Miui (latest) rom? I am having the same problem.
When installing a custom ROM do you have to have a SD card? I just got the phone and want to go to the de-bloated stock version, but I don't have a micro SD card.
No there is an internal 16gb sd card.... in cwm recovery you can flaah roms from the internal or external card
Its always good to have one to store roms and other files you don't want accidentally deleted from flashing roms. But technically I don't think you need one.

Just confirmed - you don't need a seperate sd card.
After installing ClockworkMod can I format my SD card or does it need the SD card to work? I have tons of junk on my SD & I wanted to start clean. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

You can format sd card without affecting.CWM, just remember to get any backup files off the card first

CWM Adavanced format \all before ROM instal, is it possible?
You'll have to excuse my ignorance with phones that don't have an SD card slot...
I have a One X without a SD card slot. How would I go about installing a ROM after its rooted? I haven't rooted it yet... but I just like to know what I'm getting into before I do so. I rooted and flashed my Inspire 4G, but the bootloader menu said "Install from SD card". Will this one just work and use the internal storage as an SD card?

yes in fact if you look at the file system with a file manager you'll see that your internal storage is called /sdcard.
Gunny hit the nail on the head. Our phoned have a partitioned storage labeled as SD. It functions like a normal SD card.
