So Amazon had this great deal on 64gig cards the other day so I got one. My phone is rooted with custom recovery. I read on some post about 64gig cards and custom recovery issues.
I downloaded a program on my computer to format the card to Fat32 and copied everything from my existing card onto my PC and then onto the new card after formatting.
Will I be able to just switch them out now without any problems or am I still missing something?

Good question. I just received my new 64 gig card today. And I'd like to know the answer to your question too. Hopefully, someone will chime in before I get off work tonight. Skunkape60 Where are you? O:)

Yes. Once you are formatted to fat32 and have your files transferred over you can insert the card and you should be golden.

I got that same deal. I bought 2 64gb cards and got them Saturday. Both of them are bad. :(

Just got my RAM number today and sent them back. Now waiting for my replacements which won't ship until they receive the bad ones. :(

Thanks Skunk. I'll format mine tonight. I bought my SanDisk from eBay at about the same price as on Amazon. Shouldn't have any problems since it's genuine, but we'll see. Will let you know if there's a problem. Thanks again. You da man...er, da Skunkape.

Later: Got it formatted to FAT32 and files transferred. All is well.

That sucks. Hopefully mine is okay. I'll try it later.
