Nothing will happen.. Apps are installed on phone memory even if you swapped the sd card.. Only data files are saved on sd card.. So don't worry about it.. Only make a backup of that Android folder.. Which contains only data files and obb files for games and apps..

I thought the whole reason of the Ext2Int was that the internal and external memory was swapped so that your 32gb card appeared as the internal memory and vice versa?
Eitherway, I still think it would be a good idea to copy the contents of the old card to the new card to ensure everything works as it should... Unless you have any other/better ideas?

You could just move your apps back to internal memory and then swap out the card and reformat.
I think its even easier:
Dismount SD card, remove and insert in PC, copy its contents and then copy them to your new card. Insert new card.
That's what I did when I formated my card when I was suspicious it had errors. No need to move data to memory.

[Q] Migrating to a new microsd card

Hello all, I have a rooted play running stock firmware 2.3.4.
I want to migrate to a bigger SD card and have done a titanium backup of my apps. However some of my apps I "moved to sd card". So my question is can I copy all my files and folders from the old sd card to my desktop and then to the new sd card? Will the apps on the sd card work just fine? Please advise. Thank you.

Worked for me. I replaced mine that way with no problem. Just make sure you copy everything, and don't wipe the old card until you test out the new one, just in case.

You don't even have to do a titanium backup, all you need to do is copy EVERYTHING, that includes hidden folders, make sure you backup android.secure folder, that's where everything you "Move to SD Card" in settings goes
All that you have to do is copy everything from your old SD card straight to your new one. I did this upgrading from an 8gb micro SD to a 32gb micro SD.

which one is better? swapping internal memory to sd card OR partitioning of SD card

since xperia m has very little internal storage, now i am looking to buy 32gb memory card but little confused about this methods.
is swapping works perfectly? i dont want write scrpt again and again on every reboot
or sd card partitioning is good?
please give me suggestion which one is good.
Maybe just use gl to sd app to move game files to sd card. This method is safe and easy.
I think partitioning the SD card is better.
I m using this and it's perfectly fine.
use link2sd to move apps
and gl2sd or foldet mount to move game data to SD card
Eh I just swapped internal with SD. You do it once and then you don't have to deal with other apps.

Internal memory Card /Sd Card ist full
Hello Guys,
I´m so sorry for my english (because it´s so bad) and for any mistakes I will do in this Forum.
I just have one problem: My internal memory is all in used , it´s full.
Yesterday I flashed my smartphone ( S3 GT I9300) and it felt like I did it about 100times, because of freeze and the wrong kernel etc.
Then I tried to get in a backup again, to save a Game again ( Clash of Clans) but the backup does not work, so I tried another and another and...
Suddenly I realised that my free memory gets smaller and smaller. So I actually have only about 200-300mb free.
But I did not put anything on the device. Quite the contrary. I erase already some backups to have more memory...
So exist there any method to " tidy up" the internal memory card??
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks a lot
I´m so sorry...
best regards Gotschi

Apps to SD card?

Hello all,
Bought 64gb SD card in order to put all my gigantic games on it, but had no luck.
So I factory reset tablet, erased SD, and now I'm ready for your help.
Is it possible to install apps from Google Play on SD card?
Tried to move it from App manager, and now, for instance, Hearthstone is 1.5GB on internal and 44MB on SD.
please help.
Thanks.
Does anyone have any solution?

You can try using Link 2 SD, that works for some people: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
If your'e using a KitKat rom you will need a small fix to make moving things to the SD card possible because Google restricted SD card usage in KitKat: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
If that doesn't work here's what I use currently:
KitKat Fix above
KitKat fix xposed module: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/kitkat-sd-card-access-t2790992
And this app which lets you move large Game files to the external sd card (OBB files for games)

Hope I helped :good:
