Hello all, I have a rooted play running stock firmware 2.3.4.
I want to migrate to a bigger SD card and have done a titanium backup of my apps. However some of my apps I "moved to sd card". So my question is can I copy all my files and folders from the old sd card to my desktop and then to the new sd card? Will the apps on the sd card work just fine? Please advise. Thank you.

Worked for me. I replaced mine that way with no problem. Just make sure you copy everything, and don't wipe the old card until you test out the new one, just in case.

You don't even have to do a titanium backup, all you need to do is copy EVERYTHING, that includes hidden folders, make sure you backup android.secure folder, that's where everything you "Move to SD Card" in settings goes
All that you have to do is copy everything from your old SD card straight to your new one. I did this upgrading from an 8gb micro SD to a 32gb micro SD.

I want to buy a new sd card since the one I have is a class 2 card.
How do I do this? I have installed loads of progs on my old card?
Do a Titanium backup, copy the file to pc, swap sd card and run titanium again?
Or should I flash the rom?
Any ideas?

sorry
I would do a nandroid backup onto the old SD card, then do a total copy and paste of everything on the old SD to your PC. Get the new card and put the pasted stuff on to this one, then do a nandroid restore.
The only reason I'd do it this way is because I've read that titanium can be a bit odd at times and doesn't seem to work 100% every time.

You could just move your apps back to internal memory and then swap out the card and reformat.
I think its even easier:
Dismount SD card, remove and insert in PC, copy its contents and then copy them to your new card. Insert new card.
That's what I did when I formated my card when I was suspicious it had errors. No need to move data to memory.
Copy my apps from one SD card to another? I just bought a 16gb class 4 micro sd for my Desire to replace the stock 4gb class 2. I copied everything from the 4gb to the 16gb via my computer.
Now it seems that none of the apps are showing up as usable, they are still on the SD card under applications but I can't launch any of them.
Am I missing something, is there a way to do it without copying them to my phone in stages and then re-copying them to my new SD card?
Apologies if this has been answered in another thread, it's just whenever I search I get threads about A2SD which don't answer my question at all.
Copy .android_secure folder over.

no expert but it might depend if you are using A2SD .....
easiest way would be to do a titanium backup of the apps then copy the backups from one SD to another. Then just restore again ....

I'll give it a shot after dinner, I tried copying the secure folder, but to no avail. Titanium backup seems like my only option.
Nand backup with your other SD card and copy backup to new card, then restore with new card

It turns out I didn't actually copy the .android_secure to the root of the memory card. Derp. Thanks guys. It's sorted now.

use titinum backup for backing up your apps then copy those backup files to computer then change sd card.... copy the backup ffolder then restore them using titinum backup
Hi all. I thought that titanium back up is stored on my SD card under "Titaniumbackup" folder. so today I pull out the SD card, and delected an app. then use the titanium back up. and it restored the app.
Can someone explain pls
Thats because you are not paying attention to what your device is telling you. The Sd card is your INTERNAL memory and your removable sd is listed As EXTSd.
