So I have been searching and searching, but can't really find anything that does what I am hoping.
What I am looking for, is an ENTIRE phone Image. So like the Phone Storage (ROM) and the SD Card (Not necessarily the SD Card, but it would be nice).
Is it even possible/made?
I want to be able to save my image, put on a new ROM, and be able to go back if I want.
If it matters, I am using a T-Mobile Wing
Thanks in Advance!

I have a US Cellular HTC Desire CDMA with ClockworkMod 2.5.0.9 and a properly formatted/partitioned ext4 SD Card, and I've been on every forum i could find including this one for about 5 hours, and maybe im just a total moron but i cannot get the Apps2SD figured out.
Heck, I can't even find it. They aren't transferring automatically, and I've read its supposed to be in Settings>Applications, but i can't find it, and can't get my apps to my SD Card.
I apologize that I'm an idiot, and thank you for your help in advance.
The option is indeed under Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications. Click the App you want to move to SD and the option should be there. Some Apps are not compatible with Apps2SD, however and cannot be moved.
I also remember hearing that there was a way to "trick" i guess you'd say, the phone into installing apps onto the SD and not know that it was even doing it.
Then you could have all your apps on the SD automatically and not have to transfer them one at a time
I don't really know about that trick other than hearing that it exists...apps2sd is really if I remember right what the .android_secure folder on your SD card is and its created everytime FroYo mounts the SD. It doesn't take up space unless you use it though.
Edit: there exists no such setting. Google left it up to the developer to allow his/her app to be moved to the SD card. That's the "official" answer. So until more devs add the code, it generally can't be done yet in most apps.

Just updated to Bionix-V from stock JI6 using Clockwork Mod. I went by the instructions on their site and all was well... then I noticed that my sdcard was empty, kinda. It only showed one file (named: "Caution!") no matter which filer I used including Root Explorer. However, all my files and folders are still there! I can see them on my pc! The phone's internal settings show that my card is almost full (about 14GB out of 16GB, external, I hardly use the internal sdcard). Also, in the gallery, it shows all my photos from the external sdcard, yet I don't see them in the file system! Errrg. By the way, the real "coup de grace" here is that the "Caution!" folder contains the naughty pics.... Yeah I laughed too
I read somewhere that someone had a problem with double pics in the gallery, and the fix was deleting two data db or something files from the root. Hoping it's that easy.
And yes, I tried reformatting my sdcard and putting it all back on, and did a stock Odin3 (w/partition) and back to Bionix-V, no help.
Please, help me. Thank you all.
Like all tech things in life, as soon as I give up and ask for help, I figure it out.
The filers all had a home setting, I always had it set to the sdcard root (i.e. /sd),
it was set to /sd/caution! even though it was IN the caution! folder it acted like it was outside of it. I reset the home again to the sdcard root, which was /sd, now it is /external_sd. Gotta love the tiny differences that make all the difference in the world. Still not sure why it decided to only show my naughty folder...
Thank you all, I know no one got a chance to reply yet, but I'm sure you'd have all helped!!!
Would someone mind explaining to me the the sd card in this phone. Just when I thought I had it figured our I put cm7 #47 on and now I am confused again. Where exactly do the apps go that I move to sd. Do they go to the phone partition still?? Also I noticed a thread about switching the internal and external around. Is there a benefit to that?? I also noticed it looks like a lot more things are going on my actual external card now with cm7 then when it was stock. If someone who understands all this would explain it a little I would appreciate it.
(Edit) if I do switch the cards around, does that mean my apps will be moved to the actual external sd??
Howdie,
I was wondering if Someone would and could tell me a couple of things about my phone. Or at least point me in the right direction..
- I need to find a way to move or copy the texts from my phone to my computer and have access to the texts, say, as pictures. In the past I have taken screenshots of each person's texts, well, let me tell you, there was a whole heck of a lot of screenshots. I need to find a way to keep them and be able to access them from my computer, in some way. I downloaded the backup and restore, but I do not know how to actually get them onto my computer.
- I was wondering also, if someone could and would tell me how to figure out if and what is on the internal memory of the phone and what is on the SD card. I have no idea how to figure that out.
Thank you ahead of time for taking time to read this and hopefully getting back to me. Thank you again for any and all the assistance you can and will give. K

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck

As to the first question, there should be some apps to do that, I'll let someone who knows more on that chime in.
As to the 2nd, the Nexus 5 does not have an SD card. Everything is on the internal memory of the phone.
For your text message backup issue, I've used this app in the past with very good results in the past. It backs up your messages to a seperate GMail folder and is also able to restore them. You should be able to see the messages on your PC in GMail.
For your second question, being that the Nexus 5 does not have an SD card slot all of your data is in the internal memory. Now, there is a folder within the memory that acts as an SD card, usually the path for this is /sdcard, and then inside this folder you have all of your other folders with your data.
Another way to look at it is that in the memory inside your phone there are a lot of folders such as data, system, root, config, sdcard, etc. When you plug your phone into your computer, what you see are the contents of the folder 'sdcard'. So if you plug your phone in and you can see whatever it is you're looking for there while your phone is connected, then it's on your "SD card". If you do not, then it's on the "Internal Memory". Things that'll be on your /sdcard folder will be things such as pictures, downloads, music, etc. Things that will be in the other folders that are not directly shown to you would be the OS, apk files, config files, etc.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Long time reader, first time poster. I have learned alot from here, and I am hoping to learn a bit more.
Ok, the stats:
Polaroid Tablet model P902/A900
Android version 5.1.1 (Lollipop?)
Firmware 1.0.3
So I started this journey by rooting the tablet. KingsRoot did work for this, (a file I leaned about from this forum).
Now I have a rooted tablet, so far so good.
What I am trying to do is improve the way the tablet uses the micro sd card that I bought for it, 32mb. Well with in it's size limit of 64.
Here is the problem. It recognizes the card. But I can only get files onto it by manually copy and pasting them. There is no system option given for moving files to the sd card, pics, audio, whatever. Now my phone has options to move files to sd card, heck it will even move some apps to the sd card. This is what I want to do for the tablet because the internal storage space is limited. I have been told that tablets cannot do this. I guess I am asking if that is true. My phone can do it, why not my tablet? I have tried a couple of apps to assist me with the sd card, but have not had any success with them. The ONLY way for me to use the sd card now is to go into file explorer and copy and paste. There has to be a better way. Please if anyone knows a way to teach this dog a new trick, I would apreciate it. Thank you for your time.
