I made a nandroid backup,before install a liquid smooth rom,i have a esfile explorer and when i go to clockwork mode there are nothing in that folder,im not sure but i think there are suppose to have a folder named backup
Check data/media. You installed a 4.2.2 rpm which rearranges your internal sdcard.

I had similar issue when trying to figure out where it put it but when I used the search function in the explorer it was able to find it.

it is any fix to backup the rom in the external sd card and not in the internal sd card?

Move the entire CWM folder to your external sdcard and just continue making backups to your external sdcard going forward.

I'm wondering if I'm going to switch my rom from an internal based rom (weapon g2x) to an external (eaglesblood 2.3.5), do I need to change my cwm from internal to external support? I just got a new SD card so I'm ready for an external based rom finally. Do I just reflash reocvery for external? Move a folder?

Not necessarily. Just make sure if your recovery uses the internal memory that whatever rom you want to use is saved to the internal memory before you boot into recovery. Same goes for external memory/recovery.
Thanks for the response ... but isn't it true then that rom manager wont work because it'll be looking for it on the external? This was my experience last time, although it may have been because I didn't have an SD card either.

Latest clockwork has support for internal and external so just upgrade.

Just noticed this today myself. Glad to see that feature added. This question comes up regularly, almost as much as "how do I root 2.3.3" lol. Now it will be simpler to explain how to flash a zip from clockwork.
Hi all
Was wondering if I should take advantage of the partitioning tool in rom manager. Should I empty out my sdcard before using this? Will titanium backup know where to put the apps when I move them to the sdcard after installation? 256 or 512?
Thanks

dont partition your internal sd card. its not needed and its a bad idea. its not as easy to replace as an external sd card when you mess it up. you can already install apps to sd without it.
Thanks for your response

From what I've read, the Nexus S actually has a NAND chip instead of an internal SD, so imo, partitioning like that is even worse
How do I do this? I'm getting a new phone but I want to keep my saved games and other data from my current phone. I have titanium backup pro if that makes a difference.
Basically I want to backup my data on phone A and restore it on phone B.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Titanium backup pro.
I would recommend careful restore on same android versions, for user apps and data only. Don't restore system apps or data.
Some apps allow to export settings to be imported later. Make use of them.

Well if it were me I would simply do a Titanium backup to your removable SD card and use that on your new phone (assuming it's rooted).

How do I move backup location to external SD? I think it saves on internal.

External: Mount to computer and copy from internal sd to external sd.
OR
Internal: Use an app like say root explorer, and copy from internal sd to external sd on the phone.
Do you know what the file would be called or where it's located? I've got root explorer so I'll just make a copy to my external card.
(btw, 64gb cards do work in the infuse )

This is a hack that that allows you to swap internal storage with your external SD card so you can increase your app data storage.
All credits go to original i9300 App2ExtSD Hack by mattiadj. I simply hacked it to work with U.S. versions and also I've added code so it will disable this feature when you don't have a microSD card inserted (app storage will default to internal when no microSD card is inserted).
E.g. If you have 16GB internal storage on Galaxy S3, you can install this witih a 64GB microSD card and swap the storage and get 64GB on your app storage instead of 16GB.
Before you can use this, you will need:
1) Rooted Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535/SPH-L710/SGH-T999/SCH-I747) or also Canadian versions too (i747m, etc...etc...)
2) A ROM/kernel with init.d support!
3) I've only tested this with TouchWiz-based ROMs, so it should work on stock ROMs and any TouchWiz-based ROMs, not sure on CM9 or CM10.
4) You must use the FAT32 or EXTFAT zip file below, depending on what format your microSD Card is in! (e.g. if you have a FAT32 microSD card, use FAT32)
To get this working, simply flash the zip files in your CWM Recovery:
Download and Details:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-t...-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
If you do not have init.d support, you can also enable on any rooted phone by using Script Manager, here's a quick tutorial:
I recommend you to FORMAT your microSD card once to get camera working flawless before using this hack!
How to disable this:
If for some reason you are having trouble, simply delete /system/etc/init.d/11extsd2internalsd.
OR
if you leave your microSD card out during boot (then re-insert it after), your phone will work as normal (internal storage used for app data).
Nevermind, I thought it was a data2sd type thing, not just an SD swap. This is very nice! I prefer everything to be on my external card!
How do you know if your card is exfat or fat32?

I use GL to SD for that. I think the mod is a great idea, but after seeing so many non-readers, surely some Rom flashers will format the wrong partition and bring their blame to the devs...sad really.
What I would like to see is a mod that brings back android 2.x "move app to SD" functionality.

If you have a microsd card adapter (i highly recommend having one), plug it into your computer and do right click->properties for windows, others should be similar. Go google it.
Thanks man! Been wanting this since day 1 and almost started regretting getting a 16gb S3.
Downloading now and will be testing out in my FAT32 64gb sdcard on Synergy 1.7.
EDIT: should have investigated further about what this is doing.
Note that if you want to delete, you must use a ROOT Explorer, and Enable Both Root and Mounting of System to delete the file.

If you play a lot of games, GTA is like almost 1GB, the real 16GB internal only provides 10GB in reality, meaning if you play more than 10 games like GTA you run out of space real quick.
But I don't use that much space.

It will only work if the kernel in synergy has int.d support...i believe it does but dont quote me.
OK, can I flash it anyways to test if it works or will it soft brick me if I don't have the kernel?

You can, but my advise is to start fresh with an empty SD card so you don't get confused later.
I flashed this at the same when flashing Bean's latest and greatest. So now I see the SDcard and EXTSDcard show the same files and the same size. How can I browse the Internal SD? It does not appear when I plug it in my computer or when browsing using Root Explorer or Astro

Might be not compatible with Bean's. That happens when the script isn't working correctly, you should see two different sizes.
just flashed paranoid android 12, while i was doing that i made a backup of my old rom in CWM and it never ended up showing up on my SD card, after flashing my rom i opened up my SD card on my laptop and it seems to be that alot of memory is going to no where.. i highlighted everything in the folder and it says its all about 350mb and all my music is about 300mb. Before i open up the SD card it says that theres 500mb out of 1.8gb free. 1.8gb - 300mb = 1.5gb. Is it the backup that i cant see thats taking up all the memory? if so how would i make it show up? or is it something else?
That is weird normally you should be able to see your backup as a folder. Mine is set under sdcard/clockwordmod/backup and the backup I got is 581mb and is very visible both to es file explorer and to my desktop pc. Something maybe up with your sdcard. I've had invisible files on a knock off 16gb MS Pro that I ordered from china. Fixed it by formatting the memory card a few times with the PC though.
