[Q] wiping full 32/64gb with rom changes?

I've been on the nexus kick for a few years now and getting a note 3 when it's released, but I had a question regarding storage and roms that I was hoping someone would be able to clear up for me....
On the nexus line there is a virtual sd card and anything you save to that takes up part of the 16gb storage, but when I wipe and install a new rom the virtual sd card portion of the phone remains untouched, so I still have my music, navigon maps, ringtones, etc. On older phones I had, I had something like 8gb internal and a physical sd card and wipes would clear the full 8gb but leave the sd card intact. With a phone like the note 3 with 32gb of storage and physical sd slot, will wiping and rom changes take out the entirety of the 32gb internal storage, meaning I shouldn't use it for music, videos, or pictures, but only use it for programs? 32gb is a hell of a lot of storage for only apps, especially coming from a 16gb nexus which was 16 total between "sd" and internal storage.

On Note 2, "internal" SD card is not touched when flashing custom ROMs, unless you choose to wipe SD card in recovery. I see no reason why Note 3 would be different.

Okay that sounds good. I wasn't aware if phones with physical sd card slots would have a virtual internal sd card from their phone memory since the last time I had a phone with a physical sd card the virtual internal sd card wasn't a thing.

g2 uses flash based memory this means the internal memory is soldered on to the motherboard

migrating to new SD card with adoptable storage enabled

Hello,
Just wondering if anybody has any knowledge on how to install a new SD card when you already have adoptable storage enabled. I'm assuming I could power down the phone and copy everything over, but my new SD card is 200gb vs 128gb installed. I'm worried the partition table wouldn't be set properly.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Jaime

I haven't tried but perhaps unmounting the SD card would help?

The data stored on your card must be moved back to the internal storage in order to avoid breaking your apps. You can do that from the internal storage menu. If you can't fit everything, you'll have to delete things until you're under the limit. At that point, you can go back into the SD card storage menu and format it as "portable", meaning it will work in other devices. If there's any data still on it, you will lose it. Then put in the new card and set it up for "adoptable" as the previous card was.

s5 sd card support

Hey guys did anyone ever try putting a 256gb micro sd card in the s5 to see if it supports it?

yes it does. (bought it yesterday, sandisk).
Now.... my problem is: making the phone to See these 256GB as INTERNAL Storage. cause without this.... (imo) the phone is just a piece of ***ℂℝÅℙ***.

theoretically, the phone can support any size of SD card pretty much. And to the first reply, 6.0 usually asks you if you want the ext sd card to be used as internal storage.

Thanks very much.

Migrate from a micro SD card to a bigger one

I am using a 32GB micro SD card with my S4 which is being used as adoptable storage.
What is the best and sure shot way to migrate to a bigger card without losing data/apps/settings etc? Has anyone here done this?

Best way? Connect the device to a computer and pull the data off the device, then revert to standard storage. Replace the card, convert to expandable storage, then move the data from the PC to the card.
