Google the program SyncBack Free. Its excellent at moving large directories and files.
Easiest way.
Connect to computer, copy everything off sd card, copy everything to new sd. easy as.
Yep, connect to a pc, copy all from old SD card to pc, then from pc to new SD card. Worked for me all the time.
I use simple backup to keep a regular backup of my SD Card by mounting USB to my ubuntu box, so install your new card in the DHD then restore Simple backup

Got a new memory card, but unsure how to transfer all data to new card? Is it as easy as putting old memory card in pc and copying files to pc, then copying them over to new card, or is there a better option?

yep. unless you have a dual memory card reader for your pc.
old card in phone-> copy to pc
new card in phone -> copy from pc.
its what i did when i formatted my card to a new cluster size and put everything back on with no issues.
Hi all,
I currently have apps2sd on my X8 and I wanted to upgrade my SD card. How do i replace the card and copy over the current contents?
Ideally i dont want to have to re-install everything.
Thanks,

I don't know if copying would work so here's logic. first copy everything on your SD card to your new one through your computer. Then delete the copied things from the old SD card. Plug in the new SD card, do a transfer of all apps from phone to SD, then unmount, plug in old, transfer as much apps as possible back to phone. Repeat until all apps have been transfered over.
Could I not somehow copy the ex2 partition and the normal parition and just boot with the new card?
There are basically two ways - get ubuntu, or get software that reads ext2 on windows
or find app on window that can clone ur sd..
Sorry, but another basic question which I've searched for the answer but can't find an answer that makes sense to me.
I have an x8 running on Gingerdx v010. Runs great.
I have just been given a 8gb Micro SD Card, Class 10.
What's the best way to go about swapping the stock sd card with this new one - do i just copy and paste all off the old sd card onto my desktop, and then copy all that back to the new sd card?
Or do I need to partition the card in any special way?
I'm a beginner at this, so please don't get too technical!
I'd like to put some music on the new card, and I reckon i've got a few GB of albums etc to put on it. also, will probably try to put as much as possible on it to make sure there's plenty of available RAM in the internal memory.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
This is a really useful site - glad I found it.

bump... anyone?
Backup copy/move all the files in old sdcard to PC. Insert your new sdcard and boot, enter CWM>advanced option>partition sdcard>select 512mb>then zero swap. reboot. Then copy/move ur files to new sdcard You can also partition using windows You just need partition if you are installing many apps like me
Partitioning is not required, just copy data over from old card to new card.

well ive bought 64gb micro sd card and i want to switch it with the one I have
however, i have a lot of apps saved on the current micro sd card.
Is there any way to backup sd card and switch it with a new one without losing data?
2) do you recommend buying exteme pro sd card?
there is a huge different between this one to the regular 64gb or not?

android folder on sdcard is not readable.
data folder on sdcard is not readable.
lol.
should be visable if you use a card reader as opposed to just plugging the phone in via usb?and make sure that folder options in windows is set to view hidden files and folders?
I've just tried with mine and I can see the Android folder and the .android_secure folder.
I think DATA is on the phone itself not on the ext-sd?

not sure, but usually the difference between sd cards is due to read/write speeds. best thing to do is read reviews from wherever you're buying the card and see if there are any from people using the card you've chosen with your device (or similar, like another mobile phone at least). if there are lots of reviews saying that it fails after a while, or that it is slow on their phone etc, then look for another one?
I have a Samsung branded 64gb class 10 micro sd xc (with the same "I" and "1" symbols as the one you've linked to, expect mine is plain black and samsung instead of sandisk. never had any problems, except for when i chose a custom rom that was not compatible with 64gb cards. but on stock rom it works perfectly, and even on other roms it will work fine if it's formatted on pc first with fat32 formatter.
Is there a way to copy sd card files to a new sd card? I got a new larger SD card and can't copy all files to it. TB, TWRP and some other files will not copy. I hate to start completely anew because there are some backups that I would like to retain. It's probably a Windows issue. Would a bit copier accomplish the task? Any advice would be appreciated.
if you have enough internal memory you can copy them to the phone using something like ES file explorer on the play store and then copy them back to the new memory card, or if you have one of those inexpensive dongle memory card adapters you can copy them to your computer then copy them back to the card.
Plug your phone into your computer and switch the usb mode so it shows up as a drive. Copy sd card to computer. Swap sd cards in phone. Format sd card through phone. Copy the backup off the computer to new sd card

otg cable + memory card reader is also a great option. everyone should invest 5$ in a good otg cable
