New SD Card (reinstall?)

[Guest Chris4x]

I have a Pulse with FLB Mod 1 v1.6b installed, using as2d and swap. I now want to replace my existing sd card with a faster larger capacity one. What do I need to do to achieve that please? I'm guessing the simplest way might be to replace the sd card then reinstall FLB Mod v1.6b (or more likely FLB Mod v1.7), is that the best approach?

If so, where do I start? Do I have to reinstall the 'Official 2.1' update, starting from step 1 of 'Installing the Official 2.1 Update' here:

or can I start from step 1 of 'Installing A 2.1 / 2.2 Custom Rom' here:

Thanks

Well, to do what you want you just put the new card in, partition it, wipe ALL (recommended) and then just install FLB-Mod again.

Have a search through the forum's older threads. This has been covered a few times as I recall. No need to wipe everything unless you really want to.

Thanks, but is that actually any different to performing 'Installing A 2.1 / 2.2 Custom Rom':

followed by 'Installing A2SD / SWAP':

other than doing things in a different order?

Thanks, I'd already checked and discovered this:

which suggests that you can move apps back to internal memory, but given that I only appear to have ~20MB of internal memory free, I'd guess that wouldn't be sufficient for many apps? I've yet to figure out how to determine how much space they currently occupy on the sd card!

I did it last weekend like this: Complete nandroid backup (with sd ext if a2sd), then I formated the new sd with partitions for swap and a2sd, copied the folder in the FAT partition to the new sd and restored the nandroid backup. Works without problems, and no settings and apps are lost.

OK thanks, I'll take a closer look at that method.
