You can do a Nandroid backup in the internal SD card. Just check the CWM menu.

I partitioned my SD Card to use the Apps2sd built in the Fresh 2.0d ROM. It is working BUT it SLOWED down my phone. LWP and transitions are chopppy. I have my SD card backed up already. I want to undo what I did.
What steps do I take to undo the SD card partitioning using Apps2sd built in the Fresh 2.0d ROM and go back to just having the Fresh 2.0d rom with a standard SD card?

What class is your SD card? If it's a class 2, that's probably the issue.
Depending on the a2sd you're using you can tell it to move your apps back to internal storage. If you don't know, or your a2sd doesn't make sure you have a backup of your apps (or just reinstall whichever).
To undo it, just repartition your card, using 0 for everything and the 'rest' for FAT. Yes, this will wipe your SD card completely.
Reflash your ROM, then restore from backup (Titanium, for example).
yeah apps2sd only really works with a class 6 sd card, i mean to work flawlessly, i have a class 2 and a class 4 both name brands and sometimes my phone is still choppy, but my buddy has same cdma hero with class 6 and his is like crazy fast.
Still need help

How do I get the "rest" to FAT? It says remaining FAT32 and won't allow me to change it.
I follow these steps:
Boot into Android Recovery (RA-heroc-v1.6.2)
Choose Partition SD Card
Choose Partition SD
Press Home to confirm partition sdcard
Press Home to confirm 0MB swap size
Press Home to confirm 0MB ext2 size
Then it says
FAT32-size=remainder
Continue partitioning? Press Home to confirm or any other key to abort.
Since I can't change FAT32 to FAT I abort.
Is that correct?

I can't flash my ROM because it's not on the zip file after partitioning. What do I do now?

yeah.. you are screwed!!!!
just kidding...
what what I have read.. you will need to use your SDK tool, which you used to root your phone. you will have to find the instruction to "push" the zip file to your sd card. then you can use recovery to load the ROM.
also.. maybe... just a guess....
take the SD card out.. use it in your computer and a SDcard reader. Copy the zip file to your SDcard. put it back in the phone. Try Recovery again.
not sure if this will work.

I told you in the first place it would wipe your SD card. You mentioned you had a backup I believe. So put the ROM back on the card and go from there.

Or just plug the phone in with your USB cable and transfer the ROM that way.

You're very quick to respond! After I wiped my card (which I knew would happen but just had an initial freakout) I turned off my phone and reloaded my files back to it, booted into recovery, wiped and reflashed. Good to go! Thanks for your help.
So is it ok just to transfer everything to the new SD card? Will my nandroid backup still work? Like I said, I'm not using apps2sd (yet), so can it be that simple?
Thanks!
Yes it is.
I created some partitions for the Spartacus Kernel awhile back. I'd like to remove them now. I've Odined back to a stock ROM but they are still there.
Not sure but maybe backup everything you want from your sd card to your computer and then format your sd card.

I tried formatting the SD card and that did not work. Thank you though.
Any other ideas?
Any help please?
There is free partition manager software available online that you can download to your PC to manage any partitions on your SD card (and PC hard drive as an added bonus).

i following this instruction while doing my transfer
--First make a nandroid backup of ur rom with old sdcard inserted.
--Then insert new sdcard and partition it .
--Then copy the clockworkmod folder on the root of old sdcard to the root of new sdcard.
--Then with new sdcard inserted go to recovery and restore the nandroid backup. That's all for restoring the sd-ext apps.
(Note: U can also use advanced backup of recent CWM recoveries to backup the sd-ext alone.)
Another way is install A2SD GUI from market and move all sd-ext apps to phone. Then partition new sdcard and move apps to sd-ext. This wont work if there are lot of apps.
And u can transfer the fat partition files from one card to another using windows pc. Doing so should also restore the .android_secure folder apps.

Remember you cant access your ext partition form windows( inless you enable support for linux partitions dome how. Dont know if some thing like that exist). So try working with linux to access all partitions, copy every thing, pattition your new sd then copy back contents of ext and fat, as it was in old card
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Softwares like "linux-reader" can give u access to ext partitions on windows.
But I think u need to mount sd-ext from recovery. Since normal USB mounting as disk drive from android os will not mount sd-ext.

Im using newest MIUI rom and i can't see files on my sdcard when i go to file explorer. I tried remove sd card but it didn't help and on recovery i can see files on sd card? Anyone else have same issue?
Make sure you're looking at the external SD card and not the internal storage as that tripped me up a few times

Yes i am looking SDcard NOT internal storage. When i take SD card out i can't see even the internal storage. It says then that Please insert SD card, when i do that i can only see internal storage
Go to x5 settings and change the setting under sd storage. Then do a reboot.
