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...
Hi,
Is there a possibility of having a CM-like Liberated Aria ROM, which does not include Facebook, GMail, Maps, Market?
Can gapps be flashed to liberated to avoid getting updates for gapps?
It is really annoying to see all this space eaten up by maps and facebook after getting updates.
Also, Can a new version of Liberated be released with the latest updates to Maps and Facebook, so as to avoid the updates in the data partition?

Which version of Liberated are you running? If it is Liberated Aria FR008 / Froyo 2.2, then I would take advantage of the DarkTremor A2SD feature that is built into the ROM. If you simply add an EXT3 partition to your SD card, then you would be able to move a lot of your downloaded apps to the SD card and free up quite a bit of space on the /data partition. I have about 30 Market apps downloads and installed and I still have over 85 MB free on /data.

I have never had an ext3 partition on my SD Card so I have the following question :
Do apps always go to the SD Card partition or one can specify where a particular app will reside, whether on SD or on phone?

If you choose the ext3 route the apps that you choose to save to the phone will go the ext3. Apps you save to the sd card will go to the main partition of your sd. Unfortunately with the DT a2sd process there is no way to choose which apps stay on the phone and which go to the ext3. System apps are excluded from this as they will always stay on the system partition.

So when I mount my SD card to PC I'll have an almost unusable Aria, with only basic functionalities? That doesn't sound good.

While that is true, how often do you mount the SD on your PC and then try to use apps on your phone at the same time? Can you give me an example of what or why you would need to do that? Inquiring minds what to know...

You are right. I guess I was being short-sighted.
Thanks for the help. But what about my suggestion? Can we have updated Facebook, Maps etc whenever these ROMs are updated? Can't this be done?

It's a lot of effort for something that only saves you a small amount of space until the next time there is an update for one of those apps. But also I don't see any reason you couldn't do it yourself by copying the updated apks into the zip file -- no need for Gene Poole to do it for you.
yepp dat can be done. I have never edited a rom till now so I was a bit hesitant. I can try that, doesn't seem too hard. If I am not mistaken, I just need to replace the respective apk with the latest one, is that right?
Also, thanks a lot for all the help. I really like xda and all the people here.

Well, actually, it occurred to me that Liberated 2.2.2 is an odexed ROM. I'm still a little unsure on how to properly deal with the odex files. I think that if you simply delete the odex file along with the apk, then add the new apk alone in their place, it should work. Maybe someone else who knows for sure can answer though.
I can wait
No hurries.
Could anyone with a Rezound/Vigor post the app storage space? My Desire only had 120mb out of the box and I would like to know what the Rezound has.
Well, the EVO 3D has 4GB onboad storage which works out to 3GB used by the system and 1GB left for apps...I'd expect the Rezound to be about 3GB system as well, which means the other 13GB will be for apps/music/pics/etc...
Does anyone know how the file system is setup? I wonder if all of the device storage gets wiped during a hard reset (as this would make ROM flashing a PITA, everything would still have to stay on the SD)?

I think he means in the app partition. We won't find out until the phone is out.
Yes. Everything will be wiped.
The reason I ask is the Desire had such horrible space which caused issues when trying to port newer sense versions. But if /system is atleast 3 gb then that means we have plenty of space for future sense versions to be ported. as long as /data is atleast 1-2gb that is great. The desire had 120mb out of the box and with cyanogen and repartioning the nand I could get up to about 320mb.
Hi, I have upgraded my x10a to 2.3 Cyanogen but I don't like the stock camera it has. I miss my old camera (in 1.6 or 2.1 version). Is it possible to have that camera installed in 2.3? I don't want to go back to 2.1 to have it.
I've found some disadvantages with this new camera:
1. Zoom buttons don't work neither on video or camera mode (I changed the settings and rebooted it but not fixed yet).
2. Shutter screen touch mode is not available.
3. Burst & self-timer options are not available in camera in 2.3
I have tried others camera app like FX, pudding, magic camera... but none seems to have all features in one.
Thanks for any suggestion
its known that camera in cyanogenmod has its faults,but why just you dont keep the 2.3.3???? and just upgrade the things you want,like facebook inside xperia 2 and the swype keyboard from 2.3.4,just my humble opinion
Having a similar trouble with JP MIUI v6. All the customization is great but losing the ability to zoom is killing me. I'm thinking of going back to 2.3.3 stock until i find a way around it. I was really sad to hear @gm007 had a new phone and was no longer working on his mod because it really rocks.
I started modifying my cell coz I wanted to move apps to my SD. my cell's memory is not that big (500 and something) so everytime it gives the error of not enough space and I had to delete some apps to release some space... do u know if 2.3.3 allows moving apps to SD? I tried app2sd when I had 2.1 but SD partition is needed. After sd partitioned the app don't recognize the partition and it said unable to move... I guess I have to sacrifice one feature for another. Thanks 4 any suggestions

All 2.2.x up roms support native apps to SD. A stock 2.3.3 rom will move the apps to the SD Card. App2sd, link2sd and S2E all require a second partition to link to, but you can move dalvik and lib files also so you pretty much have unlimited app storage. On native android those files will be stored internally eventually filling up your internal storage.

you can move apps since 2.2,also with adb mask controller you can set the default location to install apks to sd card.

Hi there,
I'm sticking with the oos rom...works ok no issues and no big needs for ultra customization.
but.
16Gb are not nough and since I dont' want to sacrifice apps, I'm looking for the rom that need less space on the internal memory...to free some space once installed...
are all the rom made equal?
Tnx guys!

It doesn't really make a difference. Get a micro SD card and use it to expand your storage.
I know I can use an SD and I do use an SD but actually on the internal memory there are 7gb of apps 3,26gb of other and less than 1gb of images, video audio and cache data.
the apps installed are not apps that I can move on the sd.

Well, what you bought is what you got.
Opx has only 16Gb int. memory which only left available less than 12Gb.
Doesn't matter if you flash N custom ROMs, it only has slightly different size (without inbuilt Gapps package). If you're so curious then go for stock AOSP/Pure Nexus ROMs which only has stock/less features.
Weird to me, what kind of apps/games installed on yours so your lack of memory? (seemed so).
I've 70 apps installed with only 1 game, and i still have plenty of memory left.
*If you're on rooted device then just delete any unwanted system apps/services using ES file explorer or kinda. Although that only free small amount of sizes in system memory.
So the trick is: Do not install way too many apps/games that eats memory a lot.

Get one of the nougat ROMs(I highly recommend Paranoid Android), format your SD card as internal storage and you won't have to worry about filling your internal storage up.

Hi Pune, did you try this approach? have you hever noticed any problem( slow down glitch anything) using apps from sd?
I'm really happy with my onyx, the only downside is the free memory....

You can root your OOS > remove all the bloat ( saves approx. 400MB) unroot ( if your not into having your device rooted) and perhaps move those image/video files to exSD.
Flashing a custom rom will probably save you 500 MB including gapps.
The smallest ROM right now would be AOSP-CAF
If you ask smallest rom in size it would be Slimrom, but it doesn't matter, since rom along with all system apps installed on system partition, system partition taking space from internal storage, IINM onyx has fixed 2 gb system partition built in...
Your only option is root your device, bought a micro sdcard and use apps called app2sd, link2sd or foldermount or some apps similar like that.

No I've not had any noticeable performance slow downs when using the SD card. However, do find a reliable ROM that does not have bugs when doing so. For that I'd recommend PureNexus despite the fact that it hasn't been updated for a while. It has been the stablest ROM I've seen so far with Onyx.
The size of the ROM doesn't matter. The device has a separate partition for it anyway. You could have a 600mb ROM and it would be no more intrusive than a ROM that's 300mb.
Another thing, using a ROM with more features does not mean you will suffer from a performance deficit. Enabling some of these features could however have an impact on battery life.
If the features themselves do have a performance impact then I think the ROM team needs to question why they implemented it in the first place.
At the end of the day, they all use the same partition so there's no use in worrying about it

Use Modded OOS, in that way you have both the original OOS with all the extra things removed by default and you would've 6-7 GB free space available on your internal memory. I am also using it. Give it a try
you should move to a custom ROM. They are very good and will save you many GBs of storage and RAM
