OK – I know this sounds ridiculous but I’m getting ready to flash the Infuse with a custom ROM but I want to save a couple apps for the new ROM.
Is there a way I can selectively save these stock apps on a SD card (before I flash) and reload them after I flash (and where does AT&T/Samsung have them stored)?
Thank you guys, you all do great work and we all appreciate it.

I believe they are downloadable from the market as well.

Hey everyone sorry if this has bee asked already but, I use to use cm7 and I just switched to paranoid android build 8 and was wondering if theres a way to back up my apps like example(on the game 100 floors if I saved it to my SD card and re downloaded would it save all my floors?) Thanks!

Titanium Backup will be your saving grace. I use it to backup all my user apps and transition them to whatever ROM I switch to. Spend the little extra $$ and get the Pro version too. Well worth the money invested in it.

Oh looked it up seems cool(I know how to get paid apps for free not sure if I'm allowed to post that here though lol) and does this save the apps to SD card or phone or is it there own servers online or something? How does it work do I recover my cm7 back up and do this and then go back to paranoid android re download app and restore?

We won't go into discussion of the "free"ness you speak of. It's not tolerated here and I HIGHLY discourage it as a practice.
Titanium Backup will put the backups wherever you'd like. It's all in the setup.
Don't rip off the makers of Titanium Backup. Their tool is awesome and is worth the money

I was wondering can someone help me fix my SD and SIM problems. The phone wont read or even detect a network since the SIM and SD are not working. I followed the instructions here http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S+4G+Teardown/4977/1. But still to no avail. Can someone try and help me fix my Galaxy S 4G? Wifi and other features do work.
There are people having the same problems aswell. http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s-4g/376857-sd-root-issues-galaxy-s-4g.html
I did star getting this issue after I re-flashed Cyanogen 9-20120830-UNOFFICIAL-Galaxy4gmtd 4.0.4 version
When I turn Debuggin on or off, it detects my phone but rapidly disappears.

OK I was flashing the paranoid android ROM a few months back on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 3113 and I lost half of my compacity I am the type of person who downloads watches lots of movies and listen to alot music I would really like to have it back. any suggestions on how to fix it please hey buddy help anyone okay
Have you been making nandroid back ups ? How much is under "Misc" ? Looks around 700mb ? ( but the yellow maker is covering it up ):laugh:
Looks to me you need to do some house keeping to tidy up the storage space, easy enough to do.
What recovery are you using on the device ?
you've got OVER 2 gigs of app data folders on the internal there, open your file browser and look for folders of apps you've deleted and delete them, also remember YOU HAVE A MICROSD SLOT, you can add more storage for music and movies.
do any of your streaming apps keep a large "buffer", could try clearing app data.

that doesnt explain why my 8gig tab 2 only has 4gigs usable
Its the system partition that eats up the rest, as far as I know. That is why only just under
5 gigs is available. The settings menu doesn't count the system partition as usable space.

That's just the way it is. Kind of like when you insert a 32gb micro sd card you automatically lose nearly 4gb down to 29.7gb.
If you've been making backups chances are the cwm folder has a nice size file well over 1gb

I don't think trays how it works when I frost got it I believe the system file was around .5 to 1 gig maybe
So I doubt I would lose 4 almost 5 gigs from it
And I have and 8 gig microSD card now but I would love that 4 gigs back thats 3 movies...
Also I deleted a bunch a system files that no one ever needs so I have more free space
but damn I need it all back

Rooting has basically nothing whatsoever to do with the problem. Why does everyone think that just cause u rooted ur phone/ tablet now becomes mentally retarded?
I would look around in the system files. I had the same problem, there was this file idk how the hell got there and was like 4 gigs. Just try to locate the file and delete it.

Pretty sure you can go to a folder browser then couldn't u sort all them by size by bigger sizes descending. So what i mean is the biggest files would show up on top. Then you could look around and see if one of the bigger files is not needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970961 here is another thread talking about pretty much the same thing. I agree with one of the posters, about just swapping the storage with the external sd card. I haven't personally had great luck with android 4.2.x, but there is a great script for p311x on xda that swaps them on ics and jb 4.1.x just fine. Its what I use, and also why im not running anything past 4.1.2.

You could delete all the files you want from the system partition and it still wouldn't become usable.

I use a program which sorts files by size. It didn't find it so it must be hidden or similar

So i had to root and install Titanium backup on my s2 and the grilfriends s3. Need to clear som space by moving apps to sd card. This now works like a charm(again) on my s2 but the option isnt even there on the s3?
Am i missing someting here? After hours of googling and serching this forum i still cant find anyone else with this problem.
I can backup to the sd card.
Is there something that needs to be activated? I got that annoying feeling that i'm missing something obvious.
