How to change microsds and keep info on Desire?

Hi, first time poster though paid member here!

Ok, this is a weird one.

Basically, I've got a rooted HTC Desire, with a custom Rom of Paul's. I've also got A2SD and have everything backed up to microSD. This is all on a 4gb microSD card.

I just got an 8gb microSD card which I have partitioned to work with A2SD. However, when I copy all of the contents from the 4gb to the 8gb using a card reader, it doesn't copy most of my apps nor my settings and more importantly, no backups or Titanium Backup so I can't just hit restore.

Anyone have any ideas how I go about solving this?

Thanks in advance,

AV

You need the ext partiton copied also...

Haven't tried it myself, but here's one option. Don't know if it works

When I tried to nandroid backup +ext, it gives an error message. I thought I'd do that and then restore onto the new microSD but no joy.

1) Install Titanium Backup

2) Do a full backup withTB

3) Copy the contents of your card to a PC

4) Replace the card

5) Copy the card contents from the PC to the new SD card

6) Wipe the phone

7) Reinstall Titanium Backup

7) Do a full restore from TB

I don't know why I didn't do that before! I don't NEED to copy the ext2 as long as I have TB which gives all the system apps back!

Thanks, you're a star, worked perfectly!
