I am using a rooted fire tablet and have some apps installed on a 4GB sd card. How can I migrate to a larger sd card? Will cloning and expanding the partition with gparted work?

I'm familiar with Linux and external storage is mounted via UUID. So I was afraid of just copy and paste, because that doesn't copy the UUID.

  • You mean adopt the storage?

  • I'm assuming the SD card is removable? Take it out and copy everything onto a computer with hidden files toggled then copy it onto your new SD card. That should work

  • @Motte001 I suggest a /data/media partition

  • If you're talking about a physical SD card: simply shutdown your device, copy all contents of its SD card to the new card, put the new card in, boot it up. If unsure whether that works without issues, take a look at our external-sd tag-wiki and follow up to the question linked at its bottom :)
