Got a new SDCard...

I'm running CM6 Nighties and WildMonks AVS/CFS Kernel but I've never done anything special with the SDCard. It's just the 4gig card that came with the Nexus One and I haven't formatted it since Eclaire, probably about 200+ flashes ago!
So... I got a new 16 gig card; is there anything special I should do before I start using this?
Oh, and can I just transfer the files over, keeping the directory structure or is there more to it?
Thanks a bunch,
Billy
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

you might want to give the EXT4 partition more space since there will be DATA2EXT

Alright. No other suggestions? I guess it's just an SD Card, right?

Yes, you can just copy files and it will work. At last works for me
I think without any moves it will stuck on boot, especially if you using app2sd.
Moved from sandisk 16gb to kingston 16gb.
Btw i always thought that nexus1 comes with 16gb card.. i founded my one in the box, box was sealed. It was Sandisk 16gb Class2, that i have changed to Kingston 16gb class6

might want to fill it up once or twice ot make sure you really have a 16Gb card before you trust your data on it.
there is a flood of bad / fake microsd cards out there now.

Make sure you copy over all this hidden files and directories too.

Download h2testw and run test on the card and makesure you get what you paid for.

Box was sealed..
Or Korea Telecom have found the way hot to broke it, put-in fake 16gb card, seal it and sell it.... via their own office

[Q] killed my SD Card?

Hey guys,
is there any way to get my SD card back to life?
I have installed THIS ROM. Then I wanted to go back to Android again but I wanted to backUp my Device before...
So I used a Method to get a full zune Backup (this - after I clicked, I just recognised that I had used a CAB Deployer with doesnt work with this ROM... SH*T! My SD Card is no longer formattable - not via PC, nor via N900, nor via Android... Any way how to get it back to work?
Thanks
Robin

Resetting from the "About" screen with the sd card in should do it but if not just reinstall wp7 7392 that should do it and then unlock with "dev storage lock" cab.

thanks but
hayy thanks for reply but I already tried to reflash wP 7... nd it still says "Invalid storage card"... should I try it with the cab?

Problem is that even after reflash of WP7 it says "Storage card error" -.-

♥ thanks :d

Installing Apps only on SD Card as if there phone memory didn't exist.

Hi,
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Y S5360. Its internal memory is only 190 MB. So, installing new apps (especially a little heavy ones) is very difficult. Also, installing new apps slows down performance (RAM = 290MB).
Is there a way to install new apps only on the sd card & nothing on phone memory?
I have already made SD Card as default storage but some part of new apps gets installed in phone memory too (Package = code + data), can't this be changed & only SD card memory used?
Is there a way to improve RAM performance?
Or do I have to go for a new phone?
Regards,
Chaitanya

I have done the following:
1. Rooted the phone with update.zip.
2. Have downloaded Link2SD app & given it superuser permissions.
I tried moving default Maps app but it showed the following error:
"pkg: /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_INSTALL_LOCATION]"
I want to move this, as well as other heavy system apps like Play Store to my Samsung 8GB SD Card.
Please , help .

Yes there is what you'll need to do is root and a partitioned your sd and use link2sd to link apps to your sd card

Memory issues driving me crazy

Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum, after reading it for a while now.
My P8Lite is driving me mad. I keep getting " This device doesn't have enough space" messages whenever I download or update apps.
I have a 16G SDcard installed and selected the SD card as default installation location.
That doesn't seen to have any effect, because I still have to move recently installed apps to the SD by hand.
At this moment, my internal memory is at 89%, and the SD card at 7% and I can not update my apps.
The phone is rooted, and I am using EMUI 3.1.
I haven't tot a clue how to resolve this, maybe someone else that had an idea?
Thanx in advance.
@d.

How much system storage do you actually have on the device (Settings > About Phone > Phone Storage)?
It should be ~10GB.
If not and it's 2.5GB, back-up all your data and reset the device to restore the lost 7.5GB of storage.
This occurs when installing a new ROM; ALWAYS reset the system after installing a new ROM (you may have to set-up the device first).
You selected the SD card as the default installation location, but did you move the largest apps to the SD card after you did this?
If not, do so and you'll re-gain some of your space.
With system storage running out, you'll also find that other stuff stops working such as email fetch and push.

Hi,
According to the RAM value I have 2G of internal storage.
What do you mean with resetting the phone? I guess it's not juist a reset with the power button?

Please provide the value of the internal storage.
RAM is completely different to internal storage.
You can find it in Settings > About Phone > Phone Storage:

Adoptable Storage

So, i've tried to get adoptable storage working on the v35.
It worked... until I tried to migrate my data...
Settings app crashes every time I hit migrate data.
I've tried a 50:50, 25:70, and entire sd card partitioning sizes but the migrate data will always crash.
Commands that i've used:
Code:
sm list-disks
sm list-volumes
sm set-force-adoptable true
sm partition disk:<disk> mixed 75
sm partition disk:<disk> mixed 50
sm partition disk:<disk> private
sm set-force-adoptable false

I used ADB to type in the commands manually then tried to move the apps via the gui.

What model of phone are you working on?

Mine is LM-V350ULM

Huh, i think this might be why it's not working correctly:
Caution: On devices running Android 7.0-8.1, file-based encryption (FBE) can't be used together with adoptable storage. On devices using FBE, new storage media (such as an SD card) must be used as traditional storage. Devices running Android 9 and higher can use adoptable storage and FBE.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SRC: https://source.android.com/devices/storage/adoptable
So, we may need to wait for Pie to drop on our phones before we can use adoptable storage.

So I now have 9.0, pie. It looks like if I put new media of a high enough quality Android will test it and if fast enough will allow it to be used as adoptable storage? Or if I wipe and reformat my existing card? Or am I missing something?

Tried it on android pie. no go. settings crash on migration.
