I'm using an 8gb sd card for my HD2 and I wanna expand to a new 16gb one. My device is currently running Hyperdroid and I wonder how to transfer all of my data and files ...in my old SD card to a new one. Is it simply copy/paste or all them or something else ? Just want to make sure everything is working properly after installing the new sd card. Someone plz help me with this :D

hi,

If you're using mgldr, i would suggest making a full back up in recovery first by booting into mgldr>ad recovery>back up and restore>back up. After that, format your new sd card and partition it as required if you're using sd-ext/apps2sd. Remove old sd card from phone and make complete transfer of all the files from old sd card to new one by cut/copy paste method using your pc. After transferring files, insert your new sd card and boot into recovery by going to ad recovery in mgldr. Once in recovery, go to back up and restore choose restore and select the back up u made earlier. It should be there if u transferred all the files from old sd card. After restore is done you can reboot and wait for it to settle down. U can wipe dalvic and cache and fix permissions in recovery if u want before reboot but i dont think it's needed since u have a fresh sd card after formatting it first and the files are exactly the same as previous sd card.
Sorry i can't help if you're using clk. Hope i was of any help.

Are you running Android from NAND or SD?

if from SD just copy the whole files from the 8gig to the 16gig
or
just make an image copy of your 8gig to 16gig then just adjust the size using EAUSE or mini tool partition

Yep, this is exactly right although I think you can go to advanced restore>restore SD-EXT to make things quicker (restore backup will restore everything) :)
