using dd to clone 2 GB card onto 16 GB and then resize? Or from scratch?

January 2, 2014

Currently there is a 2 GB SD Card in my ZTE Blade, which is too small. I'd like to use a 16 GB.

The thing is: I am using apps2SD, because of the little space on the Blade.

So there are 2 partitions on the 2 GB card, one for a2sd and one for storing data.

The Blade is working perfectely, I don't want to install everything from scratch.

Is it wise to clone the 2GB card onto the 16gb with dd and then resize both partitions?

Is there a size limit for the a2sd partition?

Can the a2sd partition have all sizes (e.g. 987 MB), or just specific ones (e.g. 128 mb, 256 mb ... 1GB)

or just backup your SD card to a computer.

put in the new one and partition it.

then copy your files back over?
