Question about switching sd cards... (cyanogenmod rom) - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Ok so I have a mt3g rooted with the latest stable cyanogenmod (6.0 I believe). I currently have a 4gb card in it class 4. I do not use apps2sd, but I do use the install apps to sd feature. The whole sd card is formatted to fat32. I just ordered a 8gb card class 6 online to replace the 4gb I have now since it is becoming full. My question is, can I simply move the data (copy & paste) from the 4gb to the 8gb? Or is there something else I would have to do? Thanks.

Cyanogenmod Changing SD cards

Hi
I have Cyanogenmod 4.1.999 Installed on my G1
It currently has a Class 4 4GB SD card and I want to put in a Class 6 8GB sd card...
How do I do the switch without deleting any user data?
Is that possible?

Try the switchrom.sh script (link n my sig). It allows you to take a snapshot of your entire system (well, the parts that matter anyways,) zip it and store it on the Fat32 partition. You can then pull that zip to another properly pre-formatted SD card (via PC), then stick that card in and run the restore command. You should end up with a fully functional system with all apps and settings intact.
or you could do a nandroid and just reflash with that sdcard in

I want to Upgrade my Sd Card

right now i have a class 2 sd card with 500 mb and i wanted to upgrade to the 8gb class 6 card i just bought...
whats the best way to upgrade and keep all my info??
and is there a rom out that can do apps2d yet??
Copy and paste? No "info" is stored on the sdcard unless otherwise noted. There have been roms with apps2sd for a long time.
i meant does cm6 have aps2sd yet
yes it does.

[Q] [JAN 17] [HELP] [REQUEST] NAND Android w/ EXT4 support does not support 16GB SDHC

I have tried several builds but the result is disappointing. None of them can boot when I want to use EXT4 partition for data on it with my large SDHC card (16GB)
My 8GB Class 6 microSDHC runs fine but when I want to use Class 10 16GB card, the system crashes on boot...
I think 15GB FAT32 partition (I created 1GB EXT4 partition at the end of the card) is too large to be seen during Android boot or what?
Do you think it will work when I create only 7GB FAT32 and 9GB EXT4 it will work? Or should I switch the order of partitions (EXT4 first?) (it is not good solution but good for test)
Can someone from cooks help here? Thank you very much.
Firstly, this is the wrong section. There is a Q&A section explicitly for questions like this.
Secondly, I have a 16GB card with exactly this setup (15+1) and it works perfectly. Your card is possibly defective. Grab this little program and test it.
I use a 16GB CLASS 6 SD CARD for a long time.
maybe is something wrong with ur 16GB
and never create a partition bigger than 1.5g for your EXT4
I still guess the problem is your 16gb card..
I am also using a 16GB class 6 micro SDHC with no issues so far.
My partitioning is 14+2 (FAT32+EXT4) and runs like a charm.
I agree with the others, there must be something wrong with your card.
Thank you. I will test it using the program...
THe card otherwise works correctly...no bad clusters, missing files....perhaps the Class 10 is only a advertisement and the card is too slow? (because I heard that if the card is too slow then the system may boot too long and also become unresponsive (force close or wait for main android process etc.)
SO to give a public anti-advert I will reveal that my microSDHC card is KINGSTON CLASS 10
I have the same card kingston 16Go C10 and no pb !
My advice, make your partition (after full format fat32) with CWR (swap 0)

I've been trying everything to get a NAND install using a (brand new) Kingston 16gb class but have had no luck. The same process works on my sandisk 2gb card. I posted the question earlier today for any advice.
I got same problems with my 16 gb class 10 card (adaTA).
The card is 100% error free and on winmo work superfast. Unfortunately when i try to make ext partition on this than is going to work so sloow and with errors.
I have also PQI 8gb class 6, sandisk 8gb class 2 and samsung 16gb class 2 and I have to say that ext partitioned roms work fastest on slowest sandisk!!!
What is going on?
SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC. no problems with it.
i used gparted livedisc to format 1gb ext4 partition. works great
32 GB ok but what class?

Why my HD2 android won't start with my SD card?

My HTC HD2 works with my Transcend 4 GB microSD card, but it won't android won't boot up with my 8 GB Verbatim microSD card. Do I need to format it or something? Thanks!
Are you sure you have the correct set up ? (Files are copied to their destinations)
Try to format it to FAT32, and try again.
I`have just formated it to FAT32 and still the same problem. What files are you talking about?
PS: Sorry to bother you with "stupid" questions, I am pretty noob in this
I have read that Verbatim SDCards can cause problems in the build; booting or running, SanDisk is your best bet, but you may still be able to get it running,
Im not a dev; just brought SanDisk as a result of this,

It depends on many factors. Which Android Rom do you want flash, does this need Ext 3/4 Partition on the SD Card ? Do you have flashed the right partition size ? Read the installation instructions of Rom you wants to flash, there you mostly find all information.
Are you talking about NAND or SD? If NAND, make sure the ext partition is set up correctly, as this is where a lot of the apps are stored. If SD, then I would assume you know how to install an SD build so it could be a problem with the SD card being incompatible as alex.odell.2011 said.
I've had similar problems sometimes with my SD card; my HD2 wouldn't boot unless I took the card out then put it back in once it was booted. The only thing that I thought might cause it is something CWR related on the SD card, since I had used it in my Hero and Droid 1 as well to flash ROMs to them. It was a class 4 16 GB Sandisk, if that helps at all.
