I recently purchased a 16GB (class 2, dont care too much about speed, and it was only $30) SD card to replace my old 4GB one. I ran into some problems trying to transfer all of my apps over to the new card (Apps2SD obviously). Heres my setup and what I did so far:
MT3G (duh), Red (it makes it faster, I swear!)
CM 4.2.15.1
RA-magic-v1.2.3G
The process so far:
- Backed up the contents of the SD card to my PC (Win 7)
- adb pull /system/app (desktop folder)
- nandroid backup
- remove 4GB and insert 16GB
- partition, swap, ext2 (recovery)
- convert ext2 to ext3 (recovery)
- reboot phone
- adb push [desktop folder] /system/app
- copy SD contents back to main partition. Reboot.
At this point I assumed the system would recognize the ext3 partition with all of the same apps on it. The pull/push went without a hitch. When I rebooted most of my apps didnt work, and only the on-phone apps showed up in the tray. Obviously it isnt ready the ext3 partition.
- Reboot to recovery. Run uid mismatches. Reboot.
Still no luck. I then accidentally ran an old restore point that did not get transferred over to the new card as I did nandroid after I backed up the files to PC. This didnt seem to change anything, as it was already broken.
- Re-insert 4GB. Copy nandroid backup to 16GB. Apply restore to 16GB. No help.
- Re-insert 4GB and restore to latest backup (step 3).
Everything is STILL broken. The apps dont work just like the 16GB card. NOTHING on the card has been changed, only copied to/from. The original ext3 partition is still as it was, and I erased no data from it in this process.
This is the point I am at right now. I cannot understand where I went wrong. I did some searching on the forums and couldnt find anything that could help this. I wanted to start a new thread because I'm really baffled at why it broke the functionality of my 4GB card as well.
Do I need to just install the rom fresh with the new card and reinstall all of the apps from scratch? I have quite a few apps, and the default 500MB partition is definitely getting its usage.
Thanks in advance for any help/tips you can provide!!

Question:
I've noticed I'm pretty much at my limit for space on my current SD card (like 80MB remaining on a 4GB!)...
I've ordered an 8GB card to replace this one... but how can I "clone" my current 4GB card (with a2sd partitions) and then copy it over to my 8GB card, without losing data, settings, apps, etc? Is there a way?
Thanks in advance.
Do this all from within Clockwork Recovery:
1) Make a nandroid backup
2) Connect the phone to a computer
3) Partitions menu > mount USB storage
4) Copy all contents from the old SD card to a temporary folder on your computer (including the clockworkmod folder which contains the nandroid backup you just took)
5) Unmount and disconnect from computer.
6) Pull battery to shut the phone off, or if you would prefer you can boot the phone and then turn the phone off immediately afterward. Pulling battery just saves time.
7) Put new SD card in
8) Boot into clockwork
9) Format the card with Clockwork w/ ext partition
10) Connect to computer, mount USB storage again, copy all files back to the phone
11) Unmount and disconnect cable from computer
12) Nandroid > advanced restore > Restore sd-ext only
13) Reboot and you're done.
And if something goes wrong, it's not really a big deal since you will still have the original files on the old SD card so you can try again or ask for help to try another method.
Sounds complicated enough to work. I'll try when the card comes and let you all know. Thanks!

Haha yeah, I think it's the easiest way to do it with Windows, since you can't read the ext partition from the computer. You could probably just copy the contents of both partitions through Linux if you're comfortable doing that.
Doesn't a nandroid backup the ext partition too?
If you're using windows you could just backup your fat32 partition on your PC and partition your new card and then copy all your files back and do your nandroid restore.
I think this would work...

Clockwork does not back up my ext partition. It can't mount it or anything. Not sure why. Might be because its ext4, but when I do nandroids the sd-ext backup always fails.
I have to use Ubuntu and mount as storage. Then both of my partitions mount on my computer and I can do as I please. For me this seems easiest anyway. Simple copy and paste and it can be done from a live cd for those that dont already have Ubuntu.

Interesting. I was sure you could format a card with ext partition through Clockwork but apparently you can't. You can do it through ROM Manager though, so I guess you may have to boot into the phone to get to it.
The programs on the ext partition won't show up yet of course. Don't be alarmed. Just partition the card through ROM Manager, then once you're done doing that, do the nadroid advanced restore. If there are any problems after a reboot (i.e., it didn't work correctly), go back and try doing the regular full nandroid restore.

v2.5.0.1
This doesnt create a partition though. It just formats an existing partition. You'll have to use drumist's method of going through Rom manager to actually create the ext3 parition from the phone.

Tried running ROM Manager - of course, it's installed on the 4GB card which isn't on my phone when I have the 8GB in to format. So then I re-installed it using the APK... but I get the exclamation mark when it boots to recovery to format... probably because a2sd is installing the same program on the ext part which it is now trying to format.
I think I'm going to have to format/partition it using Linux somehow instead, no?

someone recommended in another thread that when that happens you just pull out the battery and then use volume down+power to boot back into recovery and it should then work.
But the method I use is to do it from Ubuntu (a linux version). If you dont want to install Ubuntu on your computer you can make a bootable CD or USB drive with Ubuntu on it (directions for this are on the Ubuntu download page) and actually run Ubuntu from the CD/USB without ever installing it on your computer. From there you can use gParted to create paritions. And while I recommend making backups, gparted even allows you to resize and move partitions without deleting anything.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about. My suggestion then is to format the card through linux if you have a SD card reader. Easiest way is to use an Ubuntu LiveCD. Do you know how to do this on your own?
Also, definitely do a full nandroid restore once the SD card is reformatted. Since you booted the phone and tried to install an app, it's possible something got screwed up -- nothing to worry about though because a full nandroid restore should revert everything.

I'm reverting back now, going to sleep on it, and then investigate formatting it via LiveCD tomorrow morning. It's been several years since I've had to go near anything Unix.
By the way, another option is to just do a clean install on your phone with a ROM that has ROM Manager built in. Use that to do the format on the SD card.

That got me thinking...Ive never had a problem adding an ext partition using Rom Manager. Ive done it to 3 SD cards now without a single issue. BUT, Ive also always done it while on cm6/7 which both came with Rom Manager pre-installed with the rom and quite a bit of integration with the rom manager app...just a thought...
EDIT: Scratch that, I used it for 2 SD cards, the 3rd was done with Ubuntu.
Here's my post from the other thread
jdwhite87 said:
Rom manager - partition SD card - choose your partitions. It will reboot into recovery and try but fail to partition your card. Pull battery. Replace battery - hold volume down and power. Wait for it to try and find the libde. Img then press volume down and it will highlight recovery then press power. It will boot into recovery and finish partitioning your card.
I think that's how I got it to work.

I did this with two different SD cards on fr008. Both were sandisks. One was a 16 gb class 4 and the other was an 8 gb class 6. I couldn't get gparted to partition the 8 gb for whatever reason. I didn't know what Ubuntu was when I partitioned the 16 gb
It seems like an oversight that maybe of the masses of people with Android devices that one day the general (non-xda) population would want a simple way to transfer their sd card data to a larger card...
I Imagine there are a bunch of people out there clueless.
Hell, I read XDA and there was still no clear simple way in this thread.
(I got here from a Google search for SD CARD CLONE)
Got it to work, finally. Required some back-and-forth with the Nandroid backups, but I have everything running off of my 8GB SD card now, without reinstalling!
Now, to sell off my 4GB card... anyone?
I have been looking for something like this for a while. The flipout lacks internal memory and it soon becomes a problem if you want to have a good set of apps.
Here's what you'll need:
1. Rooted Flipout (I won't post instructions to this step, look for "Universal AndRoot")
2. Partitioned SD card (see below for instructions), depending on the method, you might need a phone with CWM to do this and ADB installed on your PC.
3. Download Link2SD from Market
So here are the steps:
1. Partition your SD card. There are many ways to do it. I will post two ways:
Use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
My PC didn't like this tool and I wasn't able to use it. However, it should be quite easy, you just need to put your card in a card reader and build two partitions with the following characteristic:
First partition will be your main card partition, should be of the whole card size minus the extended partition you want to create
Second partition should also be fat32 (link2sd didn't like ext2 nor ext3 on the flipout, it only worked with fat32)
Use CWM. I personally didn't want to install it on the Flipout, so I used a Samsung Epic 4G for the steps. You should be able to use any phone with CWM to do it, put your SD card in the phone with CWM and boot into recovery:
adb shell reboot recovery
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 (open partition manager for SD card)
print (prints partition table)
Here you should have one partition table, starting at some point and ending at some point like 7969 if your card has 8GB. Take note of the End value as you'll need it.
rm 1 (deletes partition 1, this will erase all data on the SD card)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7425 (creates a new primary partition, the second number should be the value you took note of in the last step minus the size in MB of your desired extended partition).
mkpartfs primary fat32 7425 7937 (creates the new partition for applications, starting at the end of the last partition and ending on the max size of the card. In this case I used fat32 as I couldn't do it with ext3 nor ext2, link2sd didn't like this format on the flipout for some reason).
The partitions are created and you should be able to go to the next step.
3. Reboot your flipout with the partitioned SD card, make sure to have link2sd installed.
4. Open link2sd, it will take a while, ask for root permissions (always accept and make sure to have Remember checked).
5. It will ask for the partition type, select fat32. If you are asked to reboot your phone you have everything setup, otherway please post your problem.
6. Once rebooted, open link2sd again and go to settings and configure. I don't like having all applications automatically linked as widgets and this kind of apps can fail if they are on the SD, so I have this setting unchecked. However this is a personal decision.
7. To move an app to the card, hold your finger on it and when the menu appears, press link and confirm.
8. To move an app from the card to the phone, hold on it and press unlink, check everything and wait for the app to be returned.
Further Tips:
Avoid moving apps to the SD that are use widgets or that run all the time like: messenger apps, alarm clocks, climate widgets, etc. I tried one or two without any failure but I feel they could be less reliable this way.
Don't remove your SD card if the phone is turned on, now it has a partition that is used by the system, if you remove it you could have issues, I would only remove the card with the phone turned off completely and not boot without the card.
I made some tests connecting the USB cable to the PC and using the phone in storage mode, the PC could see the primary SD card partition and the phone could still work with apps on the second partition, so it seems to be stable in this sense.
If you need to switch to another card, you would have to setup the new card in the same way; I don't know yet if backing up the second partition and restoring it to the new card will work. If your data is critical use some SW like Titanium backup to back up the apps that are linked, remove them completely and restore when you have the new card setup.
So, this has worked for me like a charm, the phone really seems stable and I have so far like 150MB of apps on the SD card. No need to have a newer Android version, it seems very stable.
Disclaimer:
Any process that involves rooting your phone and partitioning can potentially cause data loss and/or bricking your phone. Do this only if you are 100% sure of what you're doing, I will take no responsibility for any data loss / damage caused by this process.
If you have any questions I will be glad to help.
Hi great post above
I rooted my phone and I partitioned my sd card into 2 partitions , both FAT32 primary 3.7GB and when i open link2sd and select either ext 2 or ext 3 I get an error message
"Mount scrip error
Mount scripe cannot be created.
mount: no such device
ext 2 may not be supported on your device. Try FAt32 on the second partition"
Has anyone come accross this problem before ?
Hi,
When you open link2sd,scroll down and select fat32. I tried formatting the second partition with ext2 and ext3 wit no luck. Fat32 is working just fine.
Regards
Hi Thanks a million that worked great
thanks
hi i tried wat u told but after some time link2sd is showing failure that "cannot link readonly" can u help me
Your guide works great. Finally I can have all apps I like to have installed at once.

I can tell some experiences with backups.
Before I had blur stock rom with link2sd and changed to deblur central europe rom. After reinstalling link2sd all apps where still gone.
And even after restoring all user apps with titanium backup they were restored to phone memory. I had relink them with link2sd manually and to batch restore with titanium backup twice because it broke down in the middle because phone memory was full.
Unfortunately link2sd is no magically way to have them backed up apps and to be independent from the rom. Titanium backup is still needed but that is fine. Nothing seams broken after restore with TI and relink with link2sd.
lovdanie, it's strange, had no issues with the tested phone yet, I partitioned 500mb and it has already like 200-250MB of apps linked and is working great, no issues.
One thing that could have happened is that you removed the SD card. Are you sure the SD card hasn't been touched or formatted?
bagers, it's not really a magical solution, it's just a way to get more space on a phone that lacks internal memory...

Just for some info.. under windoze try the "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" makes partitions like charm..
Guys any one have links for disk partitioners? minitool is not a freeware as u have t buy it when you apply the partition. any one know a way roubnd this? please help
miniProBhashi,
That's why I always use CWM to partition the SD card. As I don't have it on the Bllur, I put the card on another phone I have with CWM and it always works... Maybe if you have a linux PC you could do the same thing...

Help
Hi, I just partitioned my SD card. When I open the Link2SD app, it did prompt me to select the file system of the SD card's second partion, however, after I select FAT32/FAT16, Link2SD could not gain root access, there's no pop-up of indicating me to select "Allow" on the Superuser Request. Now wot do I do. Please help, thank you...
Well, I would start checking the SuperUser app to see if there is some exception in there. If you don't have it, check out if your phone is rooted by installing some other app that requires root access.
If not, check the root method for your phone.
If it's the Motorola Flipout, download version 1.6.1 from this thread, install it and run it:

Hi,
Have seen similar problems when using ext filesystems. Are you 100% sure that the secondary partition on the sd card is fat32? It really should work on the flipout without any issues.
Remember that you need:
* Rooted flipout
* Partitioned sd card (secondary partition must be fat32)
* Link2sd opened and allowed to use root permission
If you are sure you did everything stated above, we can look at it with more detail. What tool did you use to partition the sd card?
root permission
hi,
i have installed Link2SD from Market to my lg optimus p500 os,gingerbird2.3.3,when i stared to move app to sd it asks root permission.
so pls guid me to activate root permission in my device

Hi,
It doesn't make much sense to use Link2SD if you're on Gingerbread as your OS natively can copy apps to the SD card (at least some of them). Just go to "Manage Applications", and select the app you want to copy, there should be an option to "Move to SD"...
If you still have some good reason to use Link2SD, you should first look in a forum for your specific device to find out how to obtain root (I cannot help because it varies for each device)... Once you have root access, I can help you out with this process.

When I partitioned mine I used GParted Live. It's a Linux-based boot disk, but you don't really have to know anything about Linux to use it. Just download the .ISO and burn a CD, pop it in your PC and boot off it. Its free, graphical (not command line) and relatively easy to use. There is also an option there to set it up to boot live off a USB drive, but that's a bit more involved to set up.
gparted . sourceforge . net / livecd.php (sorry, it won't let me directly post links yet)
If you can burn a .ISO to a CD, you can probably figure it out. Just make sure you pay attention to which disk you are partitioning (look at the sizes) so you don't accidentally re-partition the hard drive in your PC.
EDIT: If there is anything you need to back up off the SD card, I would do that in Windows first, and then copy it back using Windows after. You CAN do this with GParted Live but there would be additional steps to mount / unmount the Windows partition on the PC that you want to copy to.
the bootstrapped recovery seems to be having a partitioning tool.
Maybe im wrong, haven't used it though
WARNING
This will format your SD Card and you will lose all data on it! Make a backup first!
WHY
No limit of file size
Safer filesystem
IMPORTANT
If you use SuperSU, disable "Mount namespace separation"
You need to have busybox installed!
TWRP recovery will automatically detect the filesystem and work as before.
Everything works as before. That includes MTP, Stock File Manager, Storage settings.
HOWTO
Install SuperSU:
If you have root, just download from play store, select Normal Installation. Wait. Go to MIUI Security, Root permissions, and enable SuperSU. Go back to SuperSU, select Normal Installation again.
If you don't have root, you need to install from recovery, with twrp.
Install Busybox from Google Play, then start the app, and press install.
Install Redmi Note 2 Tool from Google Play.
Start the app, give root persmissions.
In MIUI security, enable Autostart and Root for Redmi Note 2 Tool.
If you only want to use the SD Card functions without the CPU tweaks make sure Set On Boot and modify touchboost is unticked.
Make sure you have a backup of every important data on your SD.
Select Other from the left menu, and press Format SD as ext4, if you haven't done it manually before.
Tick Mount SD as ext4 on boot.
Press Save&Apply, and you are good to go.
OP updated with own application and instructions.
Hi, is there a limitation to the sd card capacity? As I'm using 64 GB one with FAT32 and I want to increase the 4 GB file size limit. Thanks
No, it's not something you have to worry about today. (16TB)

Hi,
I´m sorry to ask but watt´s the advantage of this.

micro SD card with FAT 32 limit max file size to store on it to 4GB.
There was an issue with mounting that could prevent writing to the card. Hopefully 1.3 will solve this.
I have managed to make it work without SuperSU and busybox from version 1.5, although some feedback would be nice.

Try again a few times, or try to reboot. If the problem persists, you may have to format the card in a PC.

Got it. It works. I dont use touchboost mode and if im using performance mode i cant open app. Yeah im switching but it is a small bug.
Is there a possibility to save aps on sd? I think by using apps2sd, make second swap partition? Dont know am i right...

With 1.8.3 you can continue even when using other governors.
Apps2SD would be harder. Yes you need second partition, and you would need to mount that to data in the beginning of the boot. That's not possible without ramdisk tweaking. Which is extremely hard and dangerous to do with an application.

If the phone is connected to the PC, with MTP, you can read/write as before.
If you want to read the card itself, you need something like ext2fsd, or a total commander plugin, etc.
Sorry if I ask something silly. If I backup data with titanium before formatting sd card with ext4, can I just restore it after formatting the sd card ? Or I should do another thing first ?

Titanium backup is going to backup your applications to the sdcard, so it's not what you want.
You just have to copy everything from external sd to your pc or cloud or whatever, and after formatting, copy it back.

With the past few versions, it was actually not possible to format the card.
This new version will not only format, but repartition it, to minimize the chance for an error.
I have used the Redmi Note 2 Tool for some time, but since Xiaomi removed Root from there Dev Roms and I have to use SuperSU for Root the mounting of my ext4 sd card doesn't work correctly anymore. I always get a Permission Denied error in Apps that don't have Root Rights.
Is there a way to make this work again or did I overlook some Setting?
Hard to understanding ex4 is OK if in case not wok I can mount again in ex4 tools. But miui file broser file manager can't use ext 4. Rootexpoler can use ex4. Is it need give permision for each program ? They don't ask for permision. Then how to solve it and run ex4 sdcard as normal in fat 32
Recently i hv removed my extsdcard to put 2nd sim on my mobile E7, when my work with 2nd sim finished i hv re-inserted the sdcard to my mobile then it said sdcard damaged and unmounting itself, when i connected it to pc, the pc said it can't read & needed to be formatted, but I can't format it as i have some important data & backups on it, so i hv searched on web for solution, maximum solutions are that i hv to format the sdcard to reuse it or use a data recovery software to get data (Not entire data) from it, At this stage I'm desperate & tried one last time re-inserting it to my mobile, same response sdcard damaged, then i have went to twrp recovery, there the recovery was able to read all my files on my sdcard, then using file manager in recovery i have deleted all extra folders in which i don't have any kind of data & rebooted to system, Then my sdcard card was working again as it used to be with all my personal data!!
May be it helps someone on someday, so I have posted here, Cheers!! [emoji4]
