Thinking about flashing serendipity over infused but I'm tired of always loosing my pictures and videos after flashing since we always have to wipe data. Is there a way I can move them to my sdcard?

Yes you can move them. Go to sdcard and make folders for pictures and video and copy items to corresponding folder or get a Dropbox and upload your items there.
I'm not a developer but I try to play one on XDA. DlevROM Yo!

Wiping data does not touch your internal SD card where your pics and videos should be stored....unless you save them to phone ...
If not then you are doing an unnecessary step like wiping your partition or formatting internal storage ...you should never lose pics or vids by flashing any roms ...

Guys, what is this lazylist folder on sd card? Can it be deleted?
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using Tapatalk
Its just cache of icons even if u delete it it will come back..
But I hate the way android impliments apps folder creation directly too the root of sdcard. I think there should b some hack so that apps folders (folders created by apps for cache and stuff) are in one sub folder.. like a symbolic link.
My sdcard is cluttered like hell with all the folders.

Thanks for the info, dude. And, you are really right about folders issue. Very nagging. Even more nagging is the fact, these folders do not go away even with uninstal of app. Have to delete them individually.

Having lots of folders will not have any impact on the read speed of the sd card but if you have a number of files one the root of the sd card then the read speed of the sd card will be greatly reduced.

(Just realized this thread is several years old)
I think its safe to say that any of the files/folders that wern't there prior to intallation of the app would be safe to delete. Often times after uninstalling an app some files and folders are still there. Usually they are files and folders that werent originally installed with the application such as saved preferences, data, settings, ect. Those files are safe to delete but I think the best rule of thumb is when in doubt, dont delete. You can usually use google to find out which files and folders are associated with which app and which files and folder are important or essential.
Im thinking of rooting my infuse and i dont know what rom or to start of is what to do and where to get it hehehe i just want a nice cam (which is the same as present)

You can try my rom.... catyrom or any of the i9000 ports...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I currently have tried refuse 1.7, caty 1.0 & 1.5; currently running caty 1.5. I would recommend caty rom, the only thing I notice is the data sometimes cuts out and I have to restart my phone, also it shows the rom as "caty v2.0" in the "about" section of the phone, but the post says 1.5 so I am not sure what it is. But it's very simple to install and to run. Just make sure you follow directions to a T. When it says to let it reboot and sit for ten minutes actually do it. DONT FORGET TO HAVE A BACKUP IN CWM. Make sure it's rooted, I tried to root mine with Superoneclick and it didn't root properly, I had to use the odin with 3e recovery and root preset, then I was able to install roms. Good luck to you.
Yea...sorry...need to fix build prop...lol...keep forgetting to do that...and the service cutting out may just be the modem...

Are you using ROM Manager? if so, that is probably why you can't get it to work. just 3 button into recovery mode, go to backup and restore, and click backup. It should take a little while to work, and you can watch it go through all of the files as it backs them up.

tried manual install from recovery mode cant find the file from my sd but when i check it its in the external
dunno whats wrong
Do not use rom manager!! When you transfer ron from computer make sure you send it to your 14 gb SD card and it will show up...do not flash anything or download any roms thru rom manager!

It is also helpful to create a folder on the SD card named "1 rom" so you can keep all your downloaded roms in one place and then you also don't have to scroll far with the volume keys since the folder will be at the top of the list all the time

Get photorec free no issues works great Google it download it and use it on ur pc should find your stuff on the phone if it doesn't you can still pull them off SD card
If you need help let me know . As long as you didnt copy anything to the SD card recently all the files should be able to be saved.

Easy to use and can't mess up
. You may find all sorts of stuff . Tool comes in handy to make sure if you sell a used SD card to make sure you formated ur card so you can't pull any old deleted photos.

It saves the apk & data on a file on your sd. Just put the backup in your new phone sd and tb will recognize it.

Just restore that app in your new Rom or phone
In it there's an option for restore, etc etc likewise many other options

It probably restored the data on the SD. Use a file explorer and try to paste and replace it in root.
You would have to find the file in the phone data I think. Can't rmb.

Well I did move it to SD card. Then I got a new SD card. Tried to see the files from my old card on my computer and was going to transfer them but there didn't seem to be anything on it important?? If that makes sense. And in titanium backup I had all my user apps on SD card buut nothing showed on my computer.

I used to have problems backing system data up from different ROMs. But you can try it, should be under backup system data in TiBu. WiFi settings maybe?

OK I got a question I searched a bit and couldn't find the exact answer ... I've been wanting to wipe my internal sdcard since I've been flashing roms but afraid I'll have missed something and loss it forever ... I've got plenty of backups so I can always revert back but want to get rid of all the garbage that gets lost in the mix between flashing ROMs ... Besides my photos is there really anything important that's stored only on my internal sdcard??? Thanks for the help and hope this hasn't wasted forum space

Do you put your downloads and music on the internal or external sd? It depends if you put music etc on there as well. Also idk if 4.2 sdcard0 issue will matter to you or not.
I got my stuff saved on my external just was curious is there was anything system wise or anything specific that I'd need to backup or save
