Nandroid Backups - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Where are they stored? Does it make new file every time I do it or does it overwrite the last one?
I'm asking because my SD card is constantly full now. It's an 8Gb card. I do a Nandroid Backup once a week.
Any help/feedback is appreciated.
Edit: I found them. Is there anyway I can make it so it just gets overwritten?

If you're using twrp you can just delete them from there. Can't remember if cwm has that option.

Nope. Just delete the old one with a root explorer.

[Q] android secure?

I need help figureing out the solution to the android_secure issue. Its something on your sd card. I took my girlfriends sd card from her phone put ext-4,bionix,recovery, and update.zip on it and it worked flawlessly. So im pretty sure that it is a clockworkmod issue from rom manager because i put flash clockworkmod through rom manager over krylons. So i deleted the clockworkmod file and its still there. anyone have any idea as to where these files are saved
Man I have this problem and dunno what to do wiyh it huh
But
Even if u restart ull still have your apps restored

that might be it,
TO be completely honest its recommended that you format your sd and then move back all the important files you need that wont rebuild themselves back on from your sdcard backup
this and flashing with odin was the only way i got my back up and restore back from the CRUEL ROM MANAGER TORTURE
Well ill try removing the diskcache and ill let you know the outcome.
How do you format your sd card and are there any files you actually need to save

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.

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

Don't ever restore system data with titanium backup. It can cause issues. Only restore MISSING apps.

Do cm10 nightlies use a lot of space?

Should I be flashing every nightly? Not sure how it works. I can update it via my settings but idk where it saves to and how much space its taking up.
Thanks

Someone please help D:

I'm not running CM10 but I can say that ROM is probably at least 150MB. Every nightly you download and don't delete is taking up space on one of your SD cards.
The updater app should tell you where it is downloading the files to.

Thanks so much for the reply. Its not giving me an option to install them to my external CD card and keeps defaulting It to my internal. Hmm

Just delete them after installing the next one and keep the current one on your card

OP doesn't know where they are, tho I believe the CM10 updater allows you to pick and choose to delete files.
OP: I'm not positive but I believe there's a directory made on the internal sdcard called cmupdater or something to that effect. I haven't been on CM10 for almost a month.

Titanium backup question

I was never prompted to create an account when I downloaded titanium backup. How does it work when I wipe and flash a new a rom? Or get a new device?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
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.
Cool thanks for the reply.

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.

Hi.
Can I make a backup of WiFi settings - passwords from one Rom and restore them to another?
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?

Clockworkmod recovery question

Hi so in hopes to clear up my phone some space I decided to format/SD card in recovery. For some reason I thought my pictures were sync'd with my Google account since every time I flash a new ROM they are untouched. Anyway, they were all deleted after the wipe. Before I did the wipe though I made a backup to an ext SD. My question is if anyone knows if reverting back to the backup will restore all my pictures. Seems unlikely but still hoping. Just wanted to ask before trying in case someone has done this before. Thanks in advance
