What would be the best practice replace the memory card?

[Guest marin6061]

I would like to replace current 2GB memory by new 8GB

I plan to:

1. Move all application from the memory card to the phone memory

2. Copy all the memory card content to my pc (via USB)

3. Power off the phone and replace the memory card

4. Boot the phone to Clockworkmod and partition it

5. Reboot the phone and copy the card content back to the memory card (via USB)

Please advice if this process is ok? am I missing something ?

Which size of partition should I use during the partition process? (512Mb / 32Mb ?)

Thank you.

Sounds like you have it all sorted, I replaced my 2GB with a 16GB but i had no special partitions so just cloned the card from one too the other.

after 4

stay in clockwork mode go in advanced menu / mount usb

copy the files from pc to sd card

i think it's better

[Guest hugobosslives]

yer. I second mounting in clockwork and transferring from PC then. this way the phone doesn't boot with a blank sdcard.

if you already have an ext partition, do a backup before you start - then after partioning do a complete restore, that will rebuild the ext on the sd card

Clockwork has backup and restore, that will restore the phone and the ext, you will need to restore the win32 part of the sdcard from a pc backup

I would like to understand it better,

By making this backup (in Clockwork), I can skip the stage of moving all installed application from the memory card to the phone memory?

[Guest oldfella]

if you are using ext to hold some apps, then what I have suggested will recreate the ext partition on your new SD card to the same position as your old card

you will also have some apps in memory, this wont change and will be restored anyway

you only actually need to restore the sd-ext from the backup, but last time I did it I thought it was easier to restore everything

so yes, you dont need to do anything else with your apps, everything else will be restored when you restore the WIN32 partition.

I have a 8gb Class 4 Kingston card and I don't experience anything bad. It's hella fast and cheap. I paid about 12 £ converted from my country currency. And no, it's not fake.
