I recently upgraded to CM 10.1 with JB 4.2. I didint like it so I donwgraded to 4.1 CM10. Now everything is duplicated in root. I have sdcard and sdcard/0 and both directories have the same files. Which one is 4.2 and can I just delete all the data in it as currently everything is duplicated.
Thanks for any replies

I flashed the EOS 1.0 rom and now how ICS! Before I flashed I backed up my HC internal storage. I loaded the backup onto my xoom running ICS, but can't find any apps from the backup. Furthermore, on the app store (android and amazon) it says I have all the apps installed, but I sure can't find them! Any ideas?
Web android store says I have apps on my phone from when I first got it - 4 wipes ago. So that's flawed.
Also, you backed up to internal..? EOS 1.0 is a full ROM, not just update like night lies. So when you installed it, everything got deleted.
I am able to flash my GT-P5110 back to stock 4.0.4 rom, but it does not restore the /sdcard back to it's stock state (the flash to root just reflashes stock ROM and deletes apps and their data). Is there somewhere I can get the files that are preloaded onto /sdcard on a GT-P5110 Tab 2 ?
What was on there? There shouldn't be anything other than temporary storage on the stock internal SD card.
I am mostly looking for the right folders, but there are a couple of media files, and I think some of the bloatware had folders there too.

So i just moved from Jelly Beans build 14 to Liquidsmooth 2.2, which totally wrecked the way my sd card is set up. I didn't like what was happening on smooth, so I tried going back to my CM backup, which could not be found. I then noticed that I had new folders, which I assume were created due to the multi user thing on 4.2.
Now I cannot restore my backup, nor do my titanium backups show up when i try to restore all my apps. Is there a fix or this or am I **** out of luck?
Just cut everything from you farthest /0 folder and paste in on the root directory. You nandroids and titanium backups will return. If u want to get rid of the /0 folders all together you'll have to wipe the internal memory. Beware to back up anything not on your external SD. I recommend to make future backups to external SD if u use 4.2x roms.. Or use twrp

If you flash a 4.2.2 ROM, TWRP only reads the files on sdcard/0/ so if you have files on sdcard/ it will not be able to see them as it only accesses the emulated storage.
Use a root file browser to get to the area you want to change.
Hey guys, I started with aokp (4.2) then moved to jelly 'beans' (4.1) and used Titanium Backup. But when I restored all my things my folders were all messed up because I moved from 4.2 to a 4.1 (I think someone mentioned multi-users or something). But anyways, I'm planning to move to P.A.C rom which is on 4.3, what should I do in order to stop duplicates and other problems that may arise?

Whenever switching between a touchwiz rom and aosp rom, you should always format SD card along with your flashing procedure to prevent duplicate folders from forming. This is due to the way files are stored in 4.3 vs 4.1.
That being said, I would move any important files off your SD card. Then in recovery for flashing a new rom you should factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, format internal SD card, flash rom. Put stuff you want back in the default folders created.

So I have been doing a lot of flashing and I wanted to clean up my phone so I did a full wipe,factory reset and then rooted,unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP 2.6.3.Then I backed up my fresh image of Samsung Touchwiz.Then I moved my TWRP backup of my Carbon setup into the backup directory created by my initial backup.then I did a restore of that backup.Now my problem is that my directory structure is out of whack.I plug the phone into the PC and all I see is Rocket Player,Android and clockworkmod folders in that order.I can't access Music or set a custom ringtone,those directories are not found.I can no longer see the original backup either,Trying to figure out what I did wrong.Did I need to flash Carbon and Gapps first and then do a restore?I missed a step somewhere just wondering if anyone can shed any light.
Thanks.
When you cleaned house on your internal storage while on TW, everything was in /sdcard. When you flashed Carbon (AOSP JB) Jellybean moved your internal storage to /0/sdcard and everything from TW is sort of hidden from that directory now. You should be able to see it or unhide that data in /data/media, /legacy, or /emulated if you switch back to TW. Idk if you'll be able to find it while currently on AOSP, someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

Hey man thanks for the reply-I repeated the whole process,doing a complete TWRP wipe as in no OS at all,flashed back to stock,flashed a "virgin" Carbon and Gapps,THEN did my TWRP restore (After a backup of the virgin Carbon).Now everything seems to be working normally.Evernote had to reformat and Swiftkey needed to download languages again but so far so good.
Hope this helps someone in the future-couldn't find any procedures for a restore AFTER doing a Full wipe,starting over from scratch.Now I know,first flash the ROM you will be restoring.
