Hi I am sorry if this is in wrong forum.. I have just rooted my HTC Desire with UnRevoked and flashed ClockworkMod recovery 2.5.0.7.I have backed up to MyBackup Pro, and now I want to flash a ROM with 2.3 Gingerbread and Apps2SD . Do I have to acquire a New SD Card and partition it or can I Let ROM Manager Pro do the work on my existing card. Thanks in advance HollyJ9
No need for a new SD Card, you can do it on your current.

Hi guys,
I have a question regarding the migration of data and apps from an old (stock 4gb) SD card to a new one while running APP2SD on the desire.
I'm using Pays 1.9 BraveSoul ROM at the moment with APP2SD installed and working sweet on a device-partitioned ext2.
my new 16gb class 6 card has arrived and I want to transfer all my apps and data from one to another without losing anything (I don't mind re-installing though).
I can back up my apps with Titanium and I have been doing that successfully for non-APP2SD ROMs. However, I'm not sure how to copy the ext2 partition to my new card and how the desire will react.
I found this method in my searches and I was wondering if anyone can confirm it is suitable for the rooted desire?
"I did an a2sd swap yesterday.
Did a nandroid/ext backup.
Copied card to computer.
Powered off phone.
Switched cards.
Partitioned new card.
Copied back from computer to SD card
Restored nandroid
Worked like a champ."

Also, I'm not using linux, I do my partitioning from the device in recovery.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Paul.

Update:
Looks like the desire is not liking the nandroid+ext backup.
I think I will have to do a full titanium backup and re-flash to get my APP2SD on the new card...
You can back up all your apps using Titanium Backup, format the new SD card in recovery, boot up, install Titanium, and restore your apps using that.

hey guys im currently rooted with clockwork and well I would like to Partion my SD card to 1GB for HD roms.
Rom manager only allows 512mb I believe. I cant seem to flash amonra via unrevoked3. It stalls at waiting for root :S.... phone is already rooted with leedroid 2.2f loaded on it.
Is there any windows programs to partion SD card? like not doing it via phone?
any help very appreciated.
The easiest solution would be to download gParted live cd to boot from and then use that to partition the sd card in whatever format with whichever size you would want!
Desire rooted, running LeeDroid 2.1 something with A2SD+.
OK I have looked at a few other threads but I still have some questions.
I am finally upgrading my stock SD card to a 16GB card.
I know I need to format the new SD card before trying to use it in LeeDroid. I have Ubuntu installed on a laptop so I can format it from there. Can I then just copy all the contents from the old SD over to the new SD?? What about the data in the ext3? Will this copy over too?
Once the new SD is installed I want to upgrade to the lastest version of LeeDroid. I've only installed one ROM (the one currently running) so I don't know how to back my phone up so it can be easily restored once the new ROM is running... I mean all the apps, personal data etc.
I have mybackup pro(paid) and titanium backup pro(paid)...

Don't have to follow the steps to make a ext partition with rom manager when you have a linux machine.
Hi folks,
I've got a brand new class 10 sd card and would like to move to it from my old class 2 sd card. Unfortunately I'm currently using a ROM with the A2SD feature which means Titanium Backup and ROM Manager reside on the old and slow sd card. If I insert the new sd card into my Desire I therefore have no access to ROM Manager which prevents me from installing the new ROM. Also I cannot access the Market for the same reason.
So the question is: How can I move to the new sd card? The only solution I can imagine is to flash a rooted stock ROM and the flash my favorite ROM again. I wonder if there's an easier option...
Please let me know. Any help is appreciated.

LOL. You are using ROM manager to flash your ROMs?
What about the custom recovery you have? CMW/AmonRA.
Also you can move everything to the new card and restore everything after you've flashed the ROM.
