Finally upgraded my microSD card...questions

---

Semi Noob question.

I just am finally upgrading my SD card, bought a 16GB after using the stock since I got the phone. I had moved all apps to SD via Titanium backup, so...

1. Will copying the contents of the old SD over to the new one suffice or will other steps need to be taken after I put it in?
and 2. What is the idea setup as far as formatting goes, for Apps2SD, best performance, etc? Is there one way that's better than the others?

Worth noting that I'm on CM7 right now.

1. Should be fine.
2. I don't know if ext a2sd still works but 512mb ext3/4 with the rest fat32 works for me. No reason for swap.

A2Ext can still be used, if you partition via recovery it will wipe the SD card, so do that before copying stuff.

1. I would backup all the apps using titanium backup. I'm not too sure that moving them to SD is going to do it.

2. For Apps2SD, I have 512 megs ext 3 partitioned with no swap. I'd say go with ext3 because more roms are compatible with it...

I also upgraded from stock SD to a 16gb class 10 - all I did was copy all contents from one sd to the other. Everything worked right away.

Sure ain't like moving sd's in Symbian ... oh what a mess that was.
