    Default How do I copy my apps to a new SD card.


    I just upgraded my Micro SD card, but I have apps2sd, which means my apps are on the ext2 partition. How do I copy them over to my new Micro SD card? Do I have to re-install them all?

    I'm no expert, but, I ended up changing my SD card when I upgraded to Cyan 4.1.9999. And I did end up reinstalling my apps. It actually made my phone run a lot smoother.

    make a backup of your old sd onto your computer , make sure it has a nandroid backup on it . copy everything onto your new PARTITIONED sd . stick it into your phone , go into recovery , and do a nandroid restore . run the fix filesystems in recovery , fix permissions , and reboot . (possibly only with cyans roms since they do apps2sd for you)

    i've found the latest version doesn't play with the CM 9's too well.
