[Q] Honeycomb On 16GB MicroSD

I just bought a class 10 16GB for my Nook Color. I'm running CM7.0.2 on EMMC right now and I'm interested in running HC on the SD card. Is it possible to use the newest SDK build by Divine_Madcat of the SD card? If not, what should I download? Do I need a 16GB image for my microSD card?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Is it also possible to use the rest of the space on the SD card after installing HC on it for data?

DM's build of Honeycomb doesn't currently have an official SD version, but racks11479 has prepared a version (for RC1/RC2 at least, don't think he has updated with RC3) which can be installed to SD:

Once you have that up and running, you should theoretically be able to expand the SDcard partition on the card with software like EASUS Partition Manager.

I downloaded that. To install it do I boot into my internal Clockwork? What are the specific steps??

microSDHC compatibility and rooting?

My TF101 will be delivered tomorrow so I've been reading up on rooting and installing custom ROMs.
I've decided that I want to install the latest Revolver ROM but I have a few questions.
A microSD card is required for rooting and installing a custom ROM?
Is a class 10 microSDHC safe to use for rooting? I've read somewhere that certain microSDHC cards are not compatible with TF101?
Thanks!

Class 10 will work fine on the transformer.

A micro sd card is not require to root (with latest method, NachoRoot or even Razorclaw).
Depending on the CWM revovery you use, you might or might not need a micro sd card to flash ROM.
CWM 3.2.X.X will need a micro sd card as it only read from an external sd card.
The latest version from Team Rouge will read files from intrnal or external sd card

[Q] transferring sd cards

without re installing cyanogenmod on the usd, is there a way to move all partitions from a 2gb to a 16 gb micro

I assume you have CM installed on SD. You can use win32diskimager to write an image file of the SD to your PC. Then put your new SD in and write the image to it. It will still only be 2GB on the card, but you can use Mini-Tool Partition Manager (free on web) to fix that. First I would move partition 4 a little to the right so that you can expand partition 3. On a 2GB SD, verygreen made partition 3 only 612MB and it really needs to be larger. 1 or 2 GB. Then expand partition 4 to fill the rest of card.

Get a copy of Easeus ToDo Backup Free. It will allow you to clone the 2gb onto the 16 gb sd and use all the available space in one step.

Not to thread jack but,
I am having trouble doing this exact thing too. I used winimage to "read" my working sd card. Then put my new 16gb sd card into my usb adapter and "write" the boot.ima image to the new card. Both reading and writing take about 5 seconds.
When I put the new card into my nook, the nook just boots into stock.

Don't use winimage. I have found it troublesome. It should take much longer than 5 seconds. Use win32diskimager.

Thanks, tried win32 and it worked. I knew there was something wrong when it only took 5 seconds to write the image.

Help with 64GB SDcard

Just got a SanDisk microSDXC 64GB card from Amazon for my Galaxy S4. I don't want to mess anything up, so I've got a few questions.
Are these cards formatted with exFat? How can I tell? Do I need a special kernel to have it work? Will the stock kernel work?
Should I format it from within the phone before use?
Any other problems/concerns I should have before I copy all my music and ROMS over to the card?
Thanks in advance,
Foulwx...in Atlanta tonight where there really is some foul weather.

I recently purchased a 32GB SanDisk Ultra, and followed the instructions at these two links, for moving apps to the sd card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844 - mini partition tool guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285221 - link2sd and foldermount
If you have some way to connect the card to your PC, the mini partition tool guide is really easy to follow. If you don't plan on moving apps to the card, you could just toss it in the phone and format it there. I screwed up the partitions a couple of times on my own (formatted the card 5 or 6 separate times, trying out different filesystems and partition sizes), before I found the mini partition tool guide, so I don't think there's much chance of permanently ruining the card.

If you formatted the card into fat32, then it would be more compatible without modifying anything on the phone.

You can connect the microSD to your PC to determine what format it currently is. If you stick in the phone, it'll format to exFat. The exFat format can be recognized by the stock kernel as well as the agat kernel and the ktoonsez kernel.

I have the same one. Just put it in my phone and went from there. Guess it auto formats it to exfat that way.
I flashed bluKuban and had to switch to agats kernel to see it. But otherwise works well.

Is there an advantage to exFat over FAT32?

exFat can have files over 4gb.

I killed my sandisk 32gb ultra card ...created the fat 32 partition and then the exfat and it won't be ready by the phone at all. When I put it into the computer it shows it only has 30.6 MB...I'm unable to format it through windows or with another app. Any help would be appreciated

Insert it into your phone, and format it there. That "may" fix it for you.

Its not being read by the phone it doesn't even mount..

I'd try plugging it into the computer and running a partitioning program. It should see the card no matter what. Partition it to whatever format you want.

Theres one computer where it sees it and I connect it through an HP printer that had an SD slot.. Windows shows it as 30.6MB and asks me to format it but the format fails. I tried SD card formatter, HP USB disk tool..I don't know what to do

OK, I loaded all my music, pictures, and roms onto my 64SDCard from my laptop. Windows says it is exFat. Booted and seems to work fine.
Then I went into OUDhs recovery to try and make a nandroid. It can't mount the external_sd. Suggestions? Do I need a different recovery or kernel? I'm on the stock kernel.
Thanks again.
Edit: I installed TWRP 2.5.0.3 and it worked fine, I think. I haven't tried a restore yet.

I finally gave up with exFat and, after some research here on XDA, used Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition to format my SDCard to fat32. I just made a Nandroid with OUDhs recovery. Hopefully, everything will continue to work OK and I don't need any 4GB files on my card.

S4 SD Card makes phone reboot !

Hi everyone,
First post here, but I have been reading many threads for the past months and I thank everyone for their great help. I have a problem that I can't fix on my own. I have a Team 64GB MicroSDXC Flash Card Model. I use tunesync to synchronize all my itunes music. I have all my titanium backups on my sd card and a few photos. i Have 26.75 GB available but my phone cannot write more on the SD without Freezing and rebooting constantly... It is rooted but I have a stock ROM, and my SD card is format exfat.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a Team 32GB card with 27GB of music on it and it's formatted as FAT32 and have had zero problems. If you can, try that format and see if it helps.

Will try

Sorry it didn't work.

I have been using 32GB micro SD card in my galaxy S4 with 0 problem so far. Then I bought a Samsung 64 GB micro SD card and did format it to fat32. It stopped working after one day. I removed the old partition and format it again, only 15 out of 64 GM became available. I had a similar problem with another 64 GB micro SD card a month ago.
My personal feeling is that android 4.2.2 does not like 64 GB card regardless of the format type.......
I will continue to use my 32 GB card until getting a new phone with 32 GB internal storage.

Thank you for your answer. Did you try format your Samsung SD to EXFAT? I feel like my Micro SD is fried and is on its last run being write protected. I requested an RMA from Team Group.
