I haven't used Link2SD yet to move apps, because there is one thing I'm confused about. Currently, I have a 2 GB SD card on my phone, but I'm thinking to buy another 8 GB card later.
What will I have to do if I want to transfer all the apps (linked/moved using Link2SD) to my new 8 GB SD card?
I tried copying the SD card to a folder and then to the new card. I used Linux Mint 17 running Nemo as root. If you don't have Linux installed, I would recommend a Kali Live disc, since it runs as root.
Everything seems to have been copied, but the first boot of the phone gave me an inconsistent UID message. It was gone at second boot. Some apps worked, some worked after reinstalling, and others lost all of their data.
If you try this, move the stuff you really don't want to lose back to the phone. Starting a game all over again when you were at level 200 really bites. Facebook and Messenger store everything on servers, so they could be easily reinstalled.
Its a simple procedure really. All you have to do is connect your SD card via a reader or adapter to a computer. Then copy all the data to a folder. Then transfer all they data to your new SD card and it should work.
This method is not exactly foolproof so don't delete the data from the first card in case you need it
When you want to change your SD card from 2GB to 8GB, you should have two partitions on the 8GB SD card.
First of all, uninstall all of your non-system apps and open Link2SD. Select clean up SD partition 2 and then select cleanup partition's Dalvik-cache. Now you can insert a new SD card and enjoy these features without any issue.
