upgrading sd cards, what to do first?

[charlie hustle]

I am getting my 16 gb card today. Before I switch my old one out, is there anything special I need to do first? I know I need to move whatever pictures and music I have on it, but what about apps that's installed on the card and clockwork mod? Or will the apps create whatever files and folders necessary?

The apps may not copy properly (because of copyright stuff), so you may need to move those to the internal memory. Other than that, just copy and paste everything you see when you open up the SD card. Just make sure you make a backup to your computer first.

If its a brand new card make sure you format it on your phone first not the computer

or format using this:
SD Formatter 2.0 for SD/SDHC - SD Association

Well, of course im going to format it. Just wanted to be sure i dont have to go through a ton of labor with configuring and stuff. Thx.

The card issue was easier than i thought. It was already formatted fat32, so all i had to do was just move all my folders and files over, and thats all. I didnt have to worry about the apps or anything. too easy.

You should have partitioned your SD card. You could have downloaded apps to your SD card instead of your phone and kept space free on your phone. You still could partition the old one.

As a matter of fact, i could partition the new one. How do i do this?? I still have like 12gb of space left... And on my phone i have only like 85mb left.

While im at it. What will happen to my apps thats stored on the phone already???
