Also Titanium Backup will give you that choice, as well as a ton of other options, like to make a backup copy of apps and their data to the sd card. Flashed my phone and restored all my programs with saved passwords data and everything using this program. The ROM I have now automatically installs all apps to the sd card unless they are required to be on the internal mem. :)

[Q] Something eating my internal SDCard

I think CWM backup failed attemps due to lack of space have eaten my sdcard somewhere with hidden or partial files, as I deleted /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ and the problem persists.
My files are below 2GB. I have tried several tools such as SD Maid but couldn't solve the issue. Even walk all my sdcard tree manually with ES file explorer (hidden files included).
What do you recommend me to Iook at? I want to start using CM10 and test AD2P

I have some games, but all the files, including hidden ones, are about 2GB, so something is taking 1.75GB

After Uninstalling the Game, you need to delete data from There downloaded folder. If you can find the folder of there, then can perform the action.

It should help you identify what eats your sd card

Finally I found the source of the problem. CWM was doing backups in /sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backups. Any backup that failed - for example due to lack of space - won't be seen by CWM, and apparently, by any file explorer in Android itself. I could see them in my PC. After removing I'm back to a normal situation

[Q] Restore apps?

Hi,
I recently sent my Samsung Galaxy Ace off for repair and as I expected, it came back wiped. I had backed up all my apps and games using ES FILE EXPLORER and I copied and pasted all my SD files onto my PC. Now I put my SD card baack into my phone but the apps and games didt load again.
So I decided to format the SD card and try again. It didnt work. Now I know the google account keeps track of all the apps you install but when I re-installed some that way, they didnt keep all my data.
Surely if I had backed up the apps and app data there is a way I can get all my apps back with my saved progress on them? Also I have read through some other threads on this and as yet cant find a non root (no titanium backup) solution.
Thanks

Usually, file explorers that offer backup options do not backup app data. Just the apks. So you actually have not backed up the app data. Hence restoring it is not possible.
If your phone is rooted, you can use Titanium Backup Pro to backup all your apps with app data. Or you could use the method detailed out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511835

[Q] Removing dead apps on phone?

So I restored a nandroid backup, except some of the apps aren't linked properly from the SD card anymore, so they don't show up as installed on Link2SD or anywhere else. Essentially, they're just junk, except they're taking up space on my internal memory. How can I find and remove these files, or how can I restore these apps?

U can download Rom toolbox from the play store. Then go to application manager in that app. Then click the app u want to delete them choose uninstall

[Q] Titanium Backup and external sdcards?

Anyone know how to get Titanium Backup to actually see a backup directory as writeable when pointing it at the external card? It seems to only see /mnt/sdcard2 not /storage/sdcard1 like ES Explorer does.
Thanks.

I used an app on play store called something like...SD card fixer. It changes the permissions to write to the card. Worked for me. Must be rooted though.

Thanks! It worked! Yay! At least Titanium, Root Explorer and the rest can now write to the external SDcard. Works for me.
Again, thanks. :good:

No problem....Glad it worked for you
