Hi,
I am running Cyanogen 6.1 with APP2SD running, and have an 8GB SD Card with apps installed on it. I recently bought a new 16GB SD Card and was wondering how I duplicate the contents of my 8GB SD Card to the 16GB SD Card.
Any ideas would be VERY helpful.
I never tried, but I think it should be enough if you copy contents from the old one to the new one using a computer.

Unless you are using the native Froyo Apps-to-SD and not the old solution, then you can't just copy the files on a computer. Using the old system the apps are stored on a completely separated partition to what is shown when you mount your SD Card.
You can probably access that partition if you are using Linux, but having never used the old Apps2SD I can't check it myself.
I thought that might be the case. Linux laptop here I come!!
I recently bought a 16GB card and my Hero started to lag and restart SENSE randomly
Please reply to know if you have this issue
Hi,
I haven't put the 16GB in yet, as I have Apps installed to my 8GB SD Card and didn't know what to do (good job I have a linux based laptop really).
Sadly (not for me, but you know what I mean...) my ROM doesn't have SENSE. I am running CyanogenMOD 6.1.0.
What ROM are you running, I may know what the issue is?

I am running the villainrom12 with sense and i have overclocked it to 352/652
I'm such a dumbass... what "class" is the SD Card? And which elements of the ROM are laggy?
I noticed that this is a 2.1 ROM...

I have a class4 memory card, and when i am launching some apps htc sense just force closes and the app i wanted to open just quits, after it is happened several times, htc senses starts to force close again and again until phone starts to lag and then hangs up.
From what I understand, VillainROM12 is a SENSE 2.1 ROM. I can't understand why this would lag, other than the implementation of SENSE isn't the patched version with the LAG fix. Early versions of SENSE were terrible and HTC had to release a patch to fix the lag issues.
The force close issue could either be down to the app timing out or something isn't installed properly. I can't really tell without installing VillainROM on my phone (I have CyanogenMOD 6.1 which, in my opinion, is flawless). My ROM isn't sense orientated, it uses apps like Launcher Pro plus (I think it comes with ADW.Launcher by default) instead of sense. ADW does have a theme pack to make it look like HTCs SENSE app.
I would suggest a couple of things;
Check available RAM
Back up your SD Card and reformat it as follows;
EXT2 = 512MB (You can use more, but you shouldn't need to)
(DO NOT use EXT3 or EXT4, these partition types are kernel dependent, and will lower the life of your card, they are intended for large partitions of like 50GB upwards)
SWAP = 0MB
FAT = The rest
I use AmonRA Recovery 1.7.0.1 which has a very useful partition SD card feature, better than ClockworkMods anyway (Evertime I partitioned a card in ClockworkMOD the phone refused to boot). Unfortunately if you have any apps installed to the SD card you may lose them unless you move them back to the phone (If you go Settings > Applications then click on "On SD Card" this will give you a list of "moved" apps).
Again, if you HAVEN'T got any apps on the SD card this could be the problem, as you are using ALL your phones RAM to store apps in, so like a PC running low on memory, no RAM means poor performance.
Try checking available resources before re-partitioning your SD Card. If you can't see what memory is available to you, try an app ion the market place called App 2 SD Free by Sam Lu, it's free, and gives you a readout of exactly what memory is being used (it also gives you a list of apps you CAN move to the SD card). I'd use it for diagnostics for now, as I don't know if VillainROM12 comes with APP2SD installed by default.
Try these out and let me know how you get on. PLEASE make a nandroid backup first, this CAN restore your SDCARD if the partition goes wrong.
Please be advised that I take no responsibility for any issues that may occur. I have performed all these tasks on my HTC Hero with no problems though.
I have tried these things but nothing helped. I have done everything the same with same type 8GB card and there was no problem, i think that HERO just cant handle 16GB but HTC says that it can support up to 32GB.

I can't really comment until I format my 16GB car and put it in (should be arriving this morning). Have you thought about another ROM? SENSE is notorious for causing lag. The guys at VillainROM also make FroydVillain (I think the latest version is 1.7.2). This doesn't have SENSE though, and you will need to backup your setting/messages/apps/and everything else first.
Backing up settings is slightly different to a nandroid. I recommend Backup Everything, as you can select what you want to back up. The only problem is you usually need to re-download the app on your new ROM to restore stuff, even if you backup apps too.
Update: Take a look at this thread for other ROMs
Sorry I can't be of more use...
I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't seem to get my damned Fascinate to recognize the SD card.
I was running on some version of a Cyanogen 7 based Rom, I think Runnymede SIII, when the card stopped mounting properly, giving me an error message saying, "blank external SD card: SD card blank or has unsupported file system." When I go into CWM recovery, I can't mount the card at all, I get a message saying e:can't mount sd card.
Anyway, I've flashed through successively earlier and earlier official roms, and now I'm all the way down to stock DL09. No dice.
Any ideas as to how to fix this stupid thing? I don't even care about the storage, I just want to flash CM7 onto the phone and be done with it. I don't suppose there are any ODIN packages for CyanogenMod?

Notice the last ROM Shipyaad was running
@Shipyaad: try error-checking your sd card on your PC. Put in card reader, right click in Windows explorer, choose "properties," goto tools tab, check for errors, check both "surface scan" and "automatically fix errors"
This should get your card working again until you get a new one (it's not a permanent fix)
Has anyone seen John Connor?
Damn.

Hmm. I don't really use the sdcard except to hold a few tunes and some books, I don't even use the camera on that phone. I can't imagine why that particular rom would kill the sdcard though unless it were writing to it all the time...
EDIT: I guess it's time to dig up the old card reader. Sucks, I just moved to a new place and my stuff is still scattered randomly through all these boxes.... gah! Thanks for the idea, I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, it was worth a try. Neither OSX nor Windows were able to read the card either - right clicking on the drive crashed Explorer every time I tried it, and OSX Disk Utility had every option grayed out. Clearly, the card is fooked. Thanks again for the help.

I don't recomend a 32gb sd card either...folks are having issues with them aswell on mtd roms. I use a pny class 10 16gb with no issues.
OK, well.... so I picked up a Sandisk 8gb class 6 card today. Everything seemed to be fine, I was able to flash Cyanogenmod 7 (stable), and I was very happy.
HOWEVER. CWM stopped being able to see the card, and it doesn't appear to post when I've got it plugged into my card reader... When the phone is booted up though, it can read the card no problem. Now what? Re-ODIN CWM? Start from scratch? Get myself a new phone?

What do you mean cwm stoped seeing the card? Are you saying when you go into recovery your get the e: cant mount errors? Also just to make sure, on the stock cm7.1 kernel you cant three finger into recovery oncer your on cm7 or you will get those errors. Only enter recovery by long pressing the power button, select reboot, then recovery.
I am having the same problem. I have tried 4 different SD Cards. 2 of the cards are SDHC, the 1st one I had is fried now, the others can be read by my computer and when the phone is booted, but not in recovery.

Right. When I'm in recovery I'm getting the e: can't mount sdcard error. I don't think I used the three finger method after installing cyanogenmod though I might be mistaken about that. Perhaps re-Odin'ing cwm would help?

Hmm... wiped Dalvik cache --> reboot recovery.
Seems to have fixed the issue for now. Now I'm paranoid that my sdcard is going to be acting up. Will keep an eye on it and update if it breaks again...
I am having the same issue.. The stock Samsung 16GB class 2 that came with the phone started to give me E:Can't mount /sdcard issues.. Bought a Kingston 32GB class 4 card (verified as genuine) and still the problem persists.. Formatted fully, scanned with no errors, yet they all work when the phone boots up.. Ironically this all started when I switched to Pool Party which is MTD based, but I am trying to get back to TW.. Odined the stock EH03 and CWM 3, but I still can't get it to mount /sdcard..
Really burning me that I have this ridiculous issue that I can't get fixed..

Well 32gb cards dont play nice with mtd roms... Also dont buy anything less than a class 6. Pny makes a class 10 8gb for 12.99 or the 16gb for 20.00. Thats what i run and all my issues are gone. My stock card absolutely hated mtd based roms. Took me a week of trying crazy **** to get on cm7 only for it to come up damaged a day later. Works fine on touch wiz tho.

I finally got it fixed. Turned out that voodoo lagfix was turned on and the system not converted to EXT4.. Had to enable voodoo on boot so that the system would be converted to EXT4 and then I was able to access the sd card in CWM..
Funny you mentioned that I should get a class 10 because I was under the impression that anything over class 4 suffers from poor random read speeds and the benefit is only faster writing. And in applications like mobile phones, read speeds are more important for accessing data.. Double the storage capacity and faster class than my original Samsung 16gb class 2, I think I'm ahead of the game in any regards at this point..

my class 10 consistently reads between 15-18mb/s on antutu so Im not sure where you got that from. How was voodoo lagfix turned on if you odined stock eh03?
Format it!
Try formatting it to FAT32.

I searched the forums on here and deducted that information from what people were saying.. Again, I'm just going by what I read on XDA..
As far as lag fix being on, I am completely lost on how or why it was enabled (I was on MTD rom) .. I odined the KGB kernel and converted to EXT4 on boot.. When I rebooted back into recovery, the card could be accessed.. I then flashed the SC.05 and the conversion back to RFS occurred on first boot (don't know why).. Rebooted to recovery after that and converted back to EXT4 and I'm doing good now..
All I know is that I'm able to access the card in CWM now and my phone hit over 2000 on quadrant for the first time ever using this ROM.. Only lag I notice is using Gallery to open my pictures..
Flashing my fascinate for the first time. Flashed cm7 7.1 stable build and my phone is having a hell of time running with the SD card. sometimes cm will recognize it but most of the time it starts to freak out after a few minutes of working and say BLANK SD CARD or SD CARD UNEXPECTEDLY REMOVED. It will also lock my phone and cause it to restart. Also if i boot up with SD card in it bootloops me. quick clear of all data and no SD card in i can reboot. with the SD card out it runs great and boots great. I have the stock 16gb sandisk SD Card that the fascinate comes with. Before you guys ask, I have already reflashed a bunch of times and i have reflashed back to stock and then tried all over again. still no cigar.
Please Help !!!
Probably best to get a class 6+ SD card. Have you tried formatting the card on your computer, then using it?
Yes, I saved all my files i needed then formatted fat32 same problems. should i have done NTFS? where can i come about one of these class 6 cards.
I've been using one of these in my Fascinate since last summer with excellent results:

i will have to check into getting one. but there is no way or any kind of fix to make the stock fascinate sd card work with cm7 ?? seems to work fine with other roms that i tried today (AOKP build 29 ICS). id love to be using cm7 though without this problem.
It does seem strange that it'd work with AOKP but not CM7. I don't know, I had one SD card that wouldn't work with MTD roms and one that did. Although I've gotta say, I don't know why one would choose CM7 over AOKP?

I guess your right. this AOKP build 29 is way better. just am weary cas its only a "build" which is why i was thinking try and find a fix for cm7.
took a look over on the CM forum and it seems that the "stock" sd card has been a problem and no "fixes" yet. looks like ill have to try a different class sd card.
Hi all, I have a problem. I bought a 32gb class 4 MicroSD card last year which I used on my Nook Tablet. After hating (really hating) the B&N rooted/custom launcher experience, I decided it was mandatory for me to install a custom ROM on it if only to learn how to install custom ROMs. Before I took the plunge, however, I found that it was possible to have a second boot on my SD card and boot CM7, so I didn't have to flash over the stock ROM (I was scared i'd break the tablet). Anyhow, after having a much better experience on CM7, I decided to flash CM9 on my Motorola Defy (wasn't easy) and was so amazed at how beautiful it was I knew I had to have it on my Nook. I flashed CM9 on emmc on my Tablet and it was so amazing I didn't put my CM7 card back in, ever.
After this, though, CM9 expired (of course, I didn't know it would) and when I went and tried to boot CM7, cyanoboot just wouldn't boot from it and now I can only access my SD card's emmc (I think, it's where the CM7 OS is). Now I have CM9 working again but I still can't use my SD card because when I tried to re partition using EASEUS it just won't recognize the card. I really don't know what to do now, I can't restore my SD card to how it was before double boot because I can't access any partition and the only thing I can do is look at the android 200mb partition.
Any thoughts?
You didn't mention that you do have a "external card reader". Hmm, if you can... use an 'external reader', then use 'SDFORMATTER ver. 3.1' .
.
What does your cell phone say about the card ? Can the phone format the card ?

WTH? How did I not think of that :silly:
My card is up and running on my nook after formatting it on my moto defy. I would've liked to backup some info but no biggie. Thank you!
PS: I was using my laptop card reader to see my card but I couldn't access any partition on EASEUS, but I shouldn't have despaired.
As the title says--my phone won't detect any SD card! I have 3 which I have tried. A 2gb, 4gb, and 16gb. With each of these, I've formatted them to every option available on my computer (exFAT, FAT32, NTFS), and still no SD card will show up on my phone. The cards do work on my computer. I can transfer data to and from every card.
I guess I should add that I did not try any sd cards in my phone before rooting and installing HyperdriveOTA custom rom, so I don't know if the ROM or rooting is part of the problem.
Any help is very much appreciated.. hope I don't have a faulty phone!

I am having trouble with this as well. Mine actually just unexpectedly unmounted. I reboot to it not being read. I used the phone to format it, si shouldn't be that.
I loaded it into my old DROID incredible and it read just fine. After moving it back it reads again for a few minutes before unmounting again.
It's the stock kernel in my current setup as well so I think the phone or card are messed up. More the phone, may return and wait for the HTC one announcement, and not have to worry about it.
It's a lexar 16gb which worked fine in my old phone and unmounted after a week with stable setup. The contact points are clean as can be as well.

Flashing stock got it back but still not confident what the problem was. Still thinking of trying to get a new unit. Others have not reported the problem enough for me to think it's a rom issue. Add in the delayed response I still think it's hardware related
