the other folders u can copy manually urself

Is it important to copy certain folders (like CWM or XRec or ...)?

umm i guess so,cos i myself did not change sdcard cos am using 8gb already

If you have any ROM Backups then you should copy xrecovery/backup to your new memory card and if you want the data files of your old apps back then you need to copy the Android folder to your new memory card........

solved.
tx!
I replaced it without problems.

Upgrading SD Cards

G1: White (Like it makes a difference lol)
Recovery : RAs 1.3.2
Rom: MLIGN 3.0
SD: 8 gig class 2
Love MLIGN but obviously my sd is the only problem keeping my phone running smooth, so I am upgrading my SD to a class 6. Is there anything special that I need to do since my phone is already running MLIGN and RAs when I pop in the new sd? (i.e. partition?)
Thank you in advance!
you won't have apps on your ext unless you pull them on adb then push then onto the new card.

no because ext partition is linux, windows wont see the partition. i use paragon partition manager and just copy the partitions from my sd card

Is the right way popping in the sd card, partitioning it, then adding the apps?
If it wouldnt be to much to ask, can someone take me step by step, or advise if the above method in red will work.
Thank you in advance
Well you need an ext file browser
try extfs browser by paragon
open up the ext partition on the SD. Take the folders app, app_private, and put them on your computer
partition the card, plug it in, and copy over the folders back onto the new ext partition

What your going to do is, copy all your files from your old SD card to a space on your hard drive. Then, insert the new SD card into your phone, format it, and only after you have formatted inside the phone, you can put your files you copied to your hard drive onto the new SD card. Just drag and drop. Simple.
p.s. This is just what I would do. Might be a faster way

If you are using apps 2 sd, here is what I did. Made a nandroid back up with extension. Copied everything off my sd card to my computer including the nandroid back up. Inserted the new card into the phone and booted into recovery. Partitioned the new card appropriately for apps 2 sd. Copied the files back onto the sd card. Wiped data, dalvick, and ext while in recovery then restored the nandroid back up. Everything should work then.
If you're not running a2sd copy to pc and then on to the new card after you've formatted

new sd card

Hey guys I'm planning to replace my stock sd card, I just want to know how to copy all my files (apps+data) to the new sd card? Can titanium back up do all this? or do I need to manually copy all the files in my old sd card to the new sd card (copy and paste method)?
I don't want to start all over again so if anyone can help me.

If you want to be sure just copy all the folders and files from the old card to the new card. That would be enough.

I change my stock 2GB with 8GB, done with just copy-paste.. from stock sdcard copied to computer (also as my backup) then copy to new sdcard.
are you sure that its already enough? how about the datas? like saved games, files etc?
1.- Remove sdcard from OB.
2.- Copy all the stuff to your computer. A simple copy-paste.
3.- Copy from your computer to the new sd card.
4.- Insert the new sd card and enjoy.

Don't worry, the phone still read the same as before from sdcard. My game "Asphalt 5 HD" is still working after the data moved to new sdcard.
Well, you should try it for sure...
I've forgotten something very important!!!!!!
2.1.- Insert the new sd card into your OB.
2.2.- Format it through settings.
2.3.- Remove the card.
Complete!

¿¿¿¿¿?????
There's not much to elaborate on this matter, I'll try to put it as simple as possible:
1. Unmount old SD card in Android
2. Pull off an old SD card (the device doesn't need to be switched off)
3. Using microSD/SD card adapter, copy old SD card content to your PC.
4. Put new SD card in Android device.
5. Unmount it in Settings/SD Card
6. Format it in this menu
7. Pull off a new SD card.
8. Using microSD/SD card adapter, copy old SD content from PC to your new SD
9. Put new SD card in Android device.
DONE
I didn't go through 4-7, but formatted new SD card as FAT32 in PC, and it works well.
thanks for all the help guys.

Hey guys. Today i decided to treat my X8 by buying a 8GB class 4 micro sd card to replace the stock 2GB micro sd card...all went well ! Within half an hour i copied & pasted everything out of my old card and into the new. That is until i tried to play some songs when i found that none of my songs appear...AT ALL ! Then i tried going into gallery. Same thing !!! I need help with this cuz i don't want to know that i wasted all that money on something that doesn't work T-T
P.S. : Running GDX V21, Alfs kernel V04. I've tried formatting it and THEN pasting the files from my old card. Still the same
P.S.P.S : By "my" X8, I mean my friends one which, in a few days or weeks will be mine

mayb u got a corrupt sd card?
open file explorer in the phone and look if there is something on the card. if you see all your folders and files, try to reboot your phone or install this from the maket.
if you don't see the files on your sd card, try to format the card from the settings in phone, not with pc
hope this will help you
crap...my sd card was also damaged ..it says sd card is damaged please format it...my heart broke ..4gb worth of pics , songs , videos GONE
there might be 2 solutions that I know:
1) Sdcard or the files may be corrupted. - Try to format the sdcard and put just one picture(a picture that you can view without any problems on pc) and see if you can view it.
2)nomedia - make sure there isn't any ".nomedia" file in the root of sd card or check in the folders where your music is store.
HOPE THAT HELPS

You can try formatting your SD card from your computer, maybe it helps.
Use the pc. There 2 types of format. FAT AND ntfs. Have you tried both? Also try quick and the regular one.

Ok...after ALOT of experimenting i finally pin pointed the prob....i used this app called Rescan Media Root...they say that every boot is slow because yr phone is scanning all the media files (Media Scan)...if you disable it, it'll speed up boot time ! But what happens in my case is it disabled the scanning, forever...so it never bothered to scan the sd card for my media files :S...after i reenabled it, it worked !

How to completly clean up my SD

Hi guys
I want to completly and safely clean up my mini's SD card from old apps' etc folders. I tried SD Maid (I'm rooted, on CM7) but it only automatically deletes several files, but not entire folders. Is there any app to do this for me?
Just look at my SD contents...more than half of these folders are from old applications
PS1: I dont want to format my SD
PS2: I also attach my internal memory, and please tell me if this is also a mess

Just delete the folders that you know are from old applications that you have already uninstalled..
connect phone to computer and delete files you want
Format it. Settings>Storage>Unmount SDcard. Then Click Format Sdcard and done!!!!
