I'd like to switch to a larger memory card. I've been playing and saving on my current card, roms played on the native emulator using PSXPeria. Could anyone tell me how I should go about changing cards without losing the saves and settings? I'm not sure if this is possible, or which files I'll need to copy. Would really appreciate any help.
Iam not a expert but i think that you can save the folder "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/sony.play(...)/saveFOLDER" (the name is not saveFOLDER but you can search and will found it, if you save this files, you can delete the save and use others and if will need to backup it, just paste it back).
Sry bad english thought.
I would just pull everything on the SD into my computer and copy it onto the new card...

Storage memory or RAM???
Any emails or SMS's you get should also be stored on the sd card. Also, use an explorer app to check your device, usually apps you have installed actually install to the device instead of sd card like you wanted, Tomtom was a good example of this. Just copy these problem apps to the sd card but don't forget to delete the old shortcut and make a new one so they still work.
Try to get rid of those ringtones sometimes supplied in the roms as these are a waste of space, especially if you are gonna use an MP3 as a ringtone.I did find, however, that you do need to have the message tones stored in windows directory on the device, just can't seem to find them on the sd card.
If its RAM, then there are apps using it. Try to get an app killer so it frees up some ram when you finish using them.
Just a few things you might like to check.
Cheers...

Well swearing in the OP is not a good way to get help, putting a lot of angry smilies in the OP isn't either.
Frankly, I am amazed you did got a response in this thread!
Please clean up your OP or I will delete the thread.
When I copy old 16gb card to new 32gb, the new 32gb it gives me defective card notification, but if use it as blank works fine, I guess some of the files I am copying causing some error.

may be the card. i got a bargin off E-bay and it turned out to be junk. the next one from Amazon was more epensive but did work proper.
That's what I thought at first but when inserted as blank formated works ok I can take pic, view, copy some file etc, but I need to transfer all my stuff from old 16gb original card, I guess I go pick and choose items.
On second thought when inserted first create files that are different from original and causing some problems I am working currently on that deleting those files and copy all stuff back in not sure if gonna work.

It's probably a fake card.
Same problem here. I spent a lot, so I hope its not a fake. It will let me transfer a couple gigs of data, but after that the stuff vanishes.

copy the stuff from the 16 to your PC. Put the 32 in, mount it and copy stuff back a little at a time, maybe that way you can narrow down if there is a set of problem files. I wouldn't put the "Android" folder back on the SD - thats where the apps 2 sd stuff is pushed and it probably won't work right.
That's what I did copied 16gb to PC then copy back to 32gb WinXP couldn't copy all but Win7 let me skip some skin files when put in epic error but if format in epic first then copy just video files around 5gb its ok. I gonna try narrow down what causes copying little at the time.

Just to make it clear I did copy all the context to sd and I can verify that browsing files on PC so its not fake but problems when in phone.

I currently have a 16gb card in my phone. it is loaded to the bone right now. i'm going to a concert tonight and will probably record some stuff in HD. that takes alot of space. rather than delete my 12 gigs of music off to make room, i was going to use another card i have that is empty. i'm thinking it'll work just fine but is there anything on the sd card in my phone that would need to be copied over, for the system mainly, to work ok? all my apps are on the phone, but i'm wondering about some of the other files/folders that get loaded by the phone. any info would be great. thanks! (running liberty 1.5 btw)
I would love to know more about this as well...I recently "upgraded" to a class 6 16GB card (and by upgraded, I mean I grabbed the card out of my old HTC TouchPro 2, formatted it, and put it in my DX). I just copied everything from the old card to the new one.

There is a liberty folder on the sdcard that im guessing the toolbox uses that you will want to copy. I would also look for any folders that resemble app names and copy them as well, as they may contain app data. Any other folders you need should be recreated by the OS or apps.

After going download happy since release day of the MT4G, I've been running out of space to install apps =X.
[Gameloft games take a LOT of space]
I have a lot of games because my little cousins like playing with my phone. I already uninstalled the games and apps we don't use soooo
I was wondering if it's recommended to either move apps to SD Card, or use a script of some sort to install apps to ext.
I have a Patriot class 10 16 GB sd card.
Running nightly build 42.
Move everything you can to the SD card. Problem solved.
P.s. you have lots of stuff. Lol

Lol thanks. I was just curious if it was better to install it on ext partition or normal sd card partition
Yeah, my little cousins went crazy on downloading haha.
[Good thing they didn't download paid apps ]
Make sure you delete your text messages. Those add up really quick and are usually the culprit in not having enough memory.
haha i NEVER delete texts xD i 12,036 texts in total in my phone haha

Alternatively you can back up your texts (if you need them) to the sd card using one of the many apps in the market. I like SMS backup & restore. You can back up the texts & then delete them from your internal memory to free up space. Common knowledge I know, but might help a noob somewhere...
get a bigger sd card and put all of your games on it.
So I still play Robo Defense and since that game is so old, it does not support the google play account stuff, so I want to put my data files on the sd card and move it over to the new phone, does anyone know how to do that? Thanks.

Use Samsung Smart Switch to backup onto an SD Card then restore using the same App when you get your new phone.
