Root LG Ally SD Card Switch ..

[roboots21]

First post here in the Ally forums. I am running a Droid2 and the GF has the Ally. We rooted it the other day and put Velocity 0.4 on it, which runs great. The one thing I am wondering is I caught a great deal on two 16GB SD cards Class 6. I will be putting one in my Droid2 which will be an easy swap. Now for the Ally ....

The Ally currently has the stock 4GB card in it. I setup A2SD on the phone and made a 512MB partition on the stock card. Now I am wondering what is the best and easiest way to switch out the cards? Is there a way to copy the apps on the current SD card to the new one? I know with the regular SD card partition I can do everything right through the PC, but I didn't see anything come up on the PC about the ext partition.

Hopefully someone has a quick tip, and maybe this was even a stupid question, but just looking for some help on the Ally. Thanks in advance!

Guide to update SDcard from class 2-4 to class 6
1) Go to ROM manager and reboot to recovery or Power off phone then boot holding SEND+MENU+PWR and let go when you see LG Logo.
2) Backup your NAND and ext3 with clockworkmod NANDROID. You now have the ext3 partition backed up.

3) Goto partitions menu -> mount USB storage then backup SD card to XP then end USB mount
3) Use power button to turn off or just pull battery
4) Put SD card in
5) boot holding SEND+MENU+PWR and let go when you see LG Logo.
6) Goto Advanced -> Partition SD card (if partition setting is not there then turn off phone reinsert old sd card and use Amon-RA recovery which can be found with ROM manager)
7) Goto partitions menu -> mount USB storage then restore SD card from XP then end USB mount
8) Wipe Data/Factory reset and do advanced -> Clear Davlik cache for shits and giggles
8) Restore your NAND and ext3 with clockworkmod NANDROID. You now have the ext3 partition restored.

If you have issues or bugs then I guess you should just restore your nand with old sd card and backup apps with titanium or velocitys new app backup tool and just reinstall the rom.

I will give this a whirl when the new SD card arrives. I knew there was a way to do it in recovery but just wasn't sure and didn't want to mess up the phone that we spent the time getting the way she wanted it already, lol. Thanks!
