I wanted to know if anyone has used a 32gb card with ext partition with A2SD+ ROM?
I have a rooted desire with leedroid Rom and I ordered a 32gb Kingston class 4 card .
I want to know if I can use it here or do I need to switch back to non A2SD+ Rom to have working 32gb memory

I have heard people say they do, but do not own one myself. Was there a specific reason why you think it wouldn't work? As far as i know any sdcard can be partitioned.
I have a class 2 Sandisk 32gb card from Vodafone and it works fine. I have a 512mb ext3 partition.

thanks mate thats makes it easier for me
I have just ordered a 16GB SD card to replace the 8GB one I have.
Do I need to format the new card in the phone before transferring the old data?
You have to format it somewhere to be sure you have correct cluster size.
Try card after that with free SD tools (http://veluscek.amebis.si/index.asp?selektiran=sdtools). There is free market link.

I am also purchasing a 16Gb SD card . I was going to format it using the phone. You can unmount the sd card and then format it. Is this not a good idea?
I was also going to copy the contents of my current card to my pc, and then copy it back to my new SD card. I am assuming this is the correct way of doing things.
I just changed to a 16GB Class 2 about 2 weeks ago. I just copied everything from the 8GB to my computer. Put the 16 in, and copied everything from the computer to the 16. Everything is working fine. No formating. I did check the phone before copying to it (16), and the format option was not selectable. It was grayed out, so I just copied.
would upgrading the stock 8gig sd card to a class 6 make any difference?

You'd probably only really notice a big difference when copying files from the PC to the phone. Don't think you'd see much of an improvement when opening anything on the phone.

If I'm not mistaken, mine is already upgraded (so-called) to class 10 from my previous phone. I however do not notice any difference in performance.
I think suddy86 is right. Even if there is, I guess it would be hardly noticed.
I have purchased a class 6 card. It was only a couple of quid more than a class 4. Its a Kingston SD Card, so should be good. Didnt fancy buying an unbranded cheaper card.
Another question that I am curious about. Can a nandroid backup made on a 8GB sd card, be restored on a 16GB card?
i believe you can just copy the contents of the 8gig to the 16gig (unless its a gold card)
I have been reading that partitioning your SD card before installing roms is good idea. I have a 32 gb card and was thinking of partitioning using ROM manager. What is the ideal space for partitioning and ideal swap space?
i have the same size card in my evo and i use a 1 gig swap partition ...and it seems to like it also ....u can try that or try it like this
1. fat32 remaning space on card
2. ext2/3-1 gig partition
3. linux-swap -100mb partiton
What about the partition size? Also will partitioning erase my SD card?

Here is a guide.
Plus I would not use CWM. Use Amon RA.
And yes this will wipe the card. Back up to your pc.
Thanks! I will back it up before I partition it.

I'm about to buy an SD card to partition and install a new rom, does the EVO4G support microSDHC class 4 32Gb cards?
specifically this one: ADATA AUSDH32GCL4-RA1
"I'm about to buy an SD card to partition and install a new rom, does the EVO4G support microSDHC class 4 32Gb cards?

i have a 32 gig class 6 pny card and it works fine i used to have a class 4 and 6 sd 16 gig they just seemed slow but yes i don't see why that wouldn't work,
I've gotten nothing But negative reviews about San disk cards ..personally i wouldn't trust them so try to stay away from those lol and some SD cards pull too much current remember that.make sure u set ur sd card read speed to 4096
and that is a cheap card i am about to go buy up a few and check em out lol hope that helps

yes it will erase ur card
It works!!
Update:
Well I just partitioned my new 32Gb SD card class 4:
swap 64Mb
ext3 2048Mb
fat32 the rest
I'm using Energy ROM with Anthrax Kernel and it works like a charm.
Swap
whats the best swap size to use?

Well it depends of how hard do you use your phone, I have right now a 64Mb Swap partition but I'm not using it at all....
I'm running the Blazer rom with the Jellybomb domination theme. I have a 16GB SanDisk class 2 microSD card. I formated it, it erased everything etc... but as soon as it's done it still says SD card damaged, may need to re-format. What am I doing wrong, or is there a fix for this?

so lemme get this right u wanna format ur ext sd?
Well, perhaps the card is damaged?? Or is one of those fake knockoffs from China.
What I'd try first, is to put it in a PC.. use a normal Format on it (not quickformat)
See what happens... if the PC can format it, then go to step 2 below.. if not it's damaged/fake for sure.
Step 2.. Download one of the many SD card testing software I'd use H2testw.
If everything comes back fine.. then you should be able to pop it into your phone without an issue.. just be sure to format in Fat32 for the best compatibility.
Also, 16gig Class 2 is pretty much the bottom of the barrel card wise.. you can get 32gig class 6 or better for under $20 online at most retailers.. I've seen 32g Class 10 for 30-40, and just bought myself a 64 class 10 from amazon for 55 shipped.
Might be time to upgrade that card
Which 32 gb 10 class for ZL? Samsung , sandisk , sony, transcend or which? Need to buy one soon.
samsung or sandisk both are good. Just so you know the 64gb sandisk works in our ZL's
i know 64 gb works but it's too costly for me so i am going with 32gb.
juct check my sig, im using 32GB UHS1 from sandisk and work well.
Me too. Iam abt to buy a card. But im scared that the card might get corrupted. Is dat corruption problem common in ZL too?? or only in Z?
So iam thinking of buying a Sony micro sd presuming it will not get get toasted!
So tell me a brand less prone to corruption
Thanks

I concur. I've been using a 64GB sandisk since I got my ZL at the beginning of May. No problems here.

When I got the phone, I just reformatted it using the phone. I never even looked in to what extension it's using. This was on 4.1.2, and it read it as 64GB then, though I believe the new update says it NOW allows 64GB. I just copied the card onto my computer, reformatted the card, and then put everything back on it. No problems up to this point, though I've only been using 4.2.2 for a few days.
I just picked up a 32gb Sandisk Ultra UHS-1 for it. (64gb was pretty spendy and far more than I really needed) I hope this was a good choice on my part, but judging by the comments it should be fine. I should have my Xperia ZL on Wednesday and will report back how it works out. (Just ordered it, got free overnight shipping)
I am using SanDisk 32 GB UHS-1. Just reformatted it with phone to see, what file system is used with new firmware. It is formatted in FAT32 by default. No problems so far.

It Works!!
Bought Sandisk 32GB 10 class 1-2weeks ago and it's working without any problem. :good:
Whatever you do, be wary of corrupt/mislabeled SD cards!
When you get your SD Card, always first check it out with a tool like H2testw or Check Flash and make sure that the reported size (32GB, 64GB) is indeed the actual storage capacity.
I once bought a 16GB flash drive that could only store 8GB of data; exceeding this 8GB would corrupt the data on the drive. H2testw proved that cheap deals online usually come with a price...
