Searching for Internal memory... - General Questions and Answers

Greetings,
Of the 4 choices that I see displayed @Titanium backup:
System ROM
Internal
S.D. card
Ext.S.D.card
I'm having difficulty finding System ROM and Internal memory with my root browser/ file explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Internal Memory is the same as SD Card, you can find it on /storage/sdcard0; for the external SD Card (Ext.SD Card): /storage/sdcard1. I think the rest of the files and folders outside the storage folder is System ROM.

So...does anyone have an idea of how to access my System ROM?
Thank you all!

ROM are system files, carries default apps and data of booting up your mobile, so you need not access ROM unless you needs ROM programming.

ken8864 is right! i once messed up with my system rom and my phone needed to re flash afterwards. BTW there are some applications that can be installed to view directories. Some might allowed you to view your system rom.

MyPhoneExplorer allows you to view it but don't mess with it if you don't know what you are doing.

Can you see the contents of your SD card from a computer? Are you on a rooted device? Are you using a rom? Are you using a kernel? What version of CWM are you on, if you have it?

I can only see the files the system creates. I cannot view any of my personal files. No i am not rooted.

Sometimes it is the sdcard...if you have an android phone, can you see your files in the phone? You can try a different card or you can try to format that card in an android phone (saving your files elsewhere 1st, of course), or you can try to use a utility on your computer, I think it's a Panasonic formater (you could do a search on formating micro sdcards for use in the Xoom here in these fora).
Good luck!

Folder mount is your best bet. Search for it, or look in android/apps and games, or android/ software development,(i forget which) or even Google play. It is what i use, but it only allows you to link directories, its not the same as the swap script. I think i read that someone linked data/media, but i just use it to link downloads and a few large obb folders.

What i did is
1 make a folder on my SD card where i wanted to link a folder from my internal memory to.
2. Open folder mount.
3. Press the + icon
4 pick a name for the link, to better manage it.
5. Select the folder from the internal SD card that you want to link as the source.
6 select the external folder you made in step one as the destination.
It will then ask you if you want to move the files over. I always say yes, other people move the files over first then do the above steps, up to you. After the files are done. Make sure the pin icon is clicked. Its either white or green, i forget. I moved all my obb folders over, and the apps still run.

It is okay to do a full format for your internal memory, if and only if you don't need anything on your SD card. Be sure to have copied everything you need to another storage before proceeding. But how can you flash a ROM from CWM if you formated everything. Just format after flashing the ROM not before.
Why you can't backup using CWM?

If the ROM is on an external sdcard, it shouldn't matter. still, that is good advice, as accidents happen. For instance, when i started using twrp I formatted my external sdcard instead of my internal, and lost my backups. Live and learn..

CWM will not backup my ROM and i think there might be some corruption on the SD card because CWM goes throught the motion of backing up the rom but says it cannot find SD card or SD ext.
Can i reinstall CWM over its-self?
thanks

Are you certain there is no backup? I know i have had it say something like, can not find SD ext skipping SD ext, or something, when using cwm, and it really didn't matter. Uhm, but yeah, you can always reflash it or try another custom recovery, like twrp.

Yes, you can reinstall it over itself. Have you also tried to backup to external sd?

Thanks for your replys
What i have learned is that in JB 4.2. CWM put these backups in a safe place on the SD card (cannot find the with a file explorer) but when i use CWM to ro restore my image it does it 100%
Don't know how to backup to ext SD.
thanks

If you use Philz touch recovery you will find the option to backup to external sd. I don't remember if it's possible with Cwm too.

there is an option in cwn to backup to ext SD but is does not save it to SD or EXT SD so is this because CWM is corrupt?

At max storage capacity after installing CM10

I was looking through the folders to try and see which one was taking up all of my space, found the Samsung folder was at about 11 gigs but the three sub folders are nearly empty. The sub folders are just images, videos and music so I'm assuming that it's OK to delete this folder but unwanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something first. (everything I load besides apps goes onto my external SD card)

I just flashed cm 10.2 and I'm only showing 4gb internal memory with about .5gb avail. I don't know where my storage went either. Used SD analyst and it doesn't add up to 4gb. Wondering what happened to the other 4gb. Any ideas?

That happened to me too... The problem was that cm10.2 rom saves data to /sdcard not /sdcard0, so the files in /sdcard0 just stays there.... You can't delete the files inside because you can't access them. You need to flash the previous rom, and delete all files in /sdcard0, and reflash cm 10.2.
So does that mean a previous version of cm or whatever rom I had installed before cm10?

I think they are the same thing. Create a folder in in sdcard and you will see it in Sdcard0. Your 8gb of storage is 2gb for ROM, 2g apps and apps/data and 4gb storage.
thats weird
emm try to stay away from CM 10.2 , android 4.3 is not stable yet !
try CM 10.1 or a stable rom.. i advice you : slimrom build.8-OFFICIAL :good:

I have the very same problem. I could not find any solution that does not require root access. And I can't root the device since it is not mine. :/ Can anyone help out? I tried many different cleaning programs and I also tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/how-to-solve-memory-leak-problem-xperia-t2488573 but none of this works. I can free storage from internal storage but not from device memory.
