Alright so I was using PACman rom, but was frustrated with all the random reboots I was getting so I decided I'd flash a TW based rom (axis rom) which I figured would be a little more stable.
Now, I want to flash carbon rom but I have this 0 section of my files on my internal storage, and new pictures I take are put in a different place than the old ones I had.
My question is, once if I flash a new aosp based rom will those files be deleted or will there be a second /0 file path?

Almost positive it will add another 0 path. Its used for multi users. I had at one point like 7-8 of them.
Its easy to back them up using airdroid.

look at data/media you should have another sdcard0 there and all your stuff that you said is in different places should be there.

Well it did delete everything. I'd show you a screenshot of how it looked before I flashed axis (a TW based ROM) from PACman (an AOSP ROM), to now (on carbon rom,also and aosp ROM), but I don't have a screenshot for you because it was deleted!

No, I use Dropbox's auto backup feature for my pictures. It's not that fact that they're deleted forever, which in fact they are not because I have them backup up, it's that I have to put them all back on and that will be a huge pain and take forever.
That and I'm not sure what else was deleted among pictures. Other important files, apk's etc... all gone and I'll never know what it was I deleted.

What exactly did you wipe in recovery before flashing Axis? When you look at Settings/Storage, is that space still being occupied? If so, while using a file explorer, go to data/media like Surge1223 posted then make sure the file explorer is set to show hidden files.

First I'd like to thank the Bonsai team (Mammon88 and Randy_T) for their work.
This little set of files is totally based on their work, I just modified it a bit.
I asked permission before releasing this, and I've left the GPL notices intact.
All changes can be seen by inspecting the files in the zip.
Thank you Team Bonsai!
:[Disclaimer]:
You assume all risks in using these files. Not me, you!
I will attempt to help if anything goes wrong.
But don't try blaming me for something you chose to do.
:[Description]:
There are two ClockworkMod zips, I'll break it down for each file.
ncDataBackup.zip:
This file simply backs up the /data folder to a gzip file on your SD card (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).
The only difference is that it will store the file in a different folder and file name on your SD card.
The file is stored @ /sdcard/data-backup/backup-data.cpio.gz
ncDataRestore.zip:
This file first deletes everything in the /data folder.
I figured this would be best so there are no conflicts with files that are already in the /data folder.
[NOTE]:: This also means that if the Rom your are using installs anything into the /data folder, it will be lost during the restore!
Then it simply restores the /data folder from the aforementioned backup file (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).
:[Purpose]:
I made this so I never have to setup a home screen again (or loose mms history, call logs, etc)!
For people who are using Roms that don't already preform a backup and restore of the files in /data.
And as an alternative to a bit for bit nandroid backup / restore of the /data partition.
:[Disadvantages]:
As stated, the restore will delete everything in the /data folder before performing the restore.
So anything put there by the Rom you are installing will be lost!
I wouldn't Expect this to work coming from or going to CyanogenMod, but feel free to test for me.
:[Benefits]:
Restores home screens, mms history, call logs, etc...
Can be used whenever for whatever reason (always good to have more options for backup / restore IMO).
:[Usage]:
Boot into ClockworkMod.
ALWAYS DO A NORMAL NANDROID BACKUP WITH CLOCKWORKMOD.
Install the ncDataBackup.zip, it will preform the data backup.
Install your favorite Rom.
Install the ncDataRestore.zip, it will preform the data restore.
Reboot the phone.
:[Testing]:
This has been tested while running Bonsai v2.0.1.
This has also been tested coming from Bonsai v2.0.1 going to Quantum v2.7.
I only had one FC (gmail) when going to Quantum from Bonsai, and that's because Quantum's gmail wasn't updated.
I simply cleared gmail's data and cache and all was well (then I updated gmail through the market).
[NOTE]:: Both of these Roms are DK28 builds and support EXT4! Your mileage may vary!
:[Feedback]:
Please post your results, good or bad, I'd like to know how well this works for other Roms.
I'm thinking of making a backup/restore zip generator program so this method can be used for other phones.
So if you try this please post your results.
:[Changelog]:
[03-05-2011]
Upgraded files to Bonsai 3.x.
Now uses an included busybox, this should allow support for more Roms/devices(?).
Zip file names have changed.
Also changes have been made to the script output.
Tested on Bonsai 3.x

Thanks for this! I had my phone freak out on boot up during the zipalign process, which pretty much killed my /data directory. I had just installed Bonsai 3 the other night and realized the backup it made was not the normal CWM img backup! With your zip I was able to restore the gzip that bonsai 3 created to my phone.
Perhaps there were other built in ways to do the restore but your zips took care of my problem!
Great work!

Those having problems...
The backup / restore process was altered just a bit with the release of Bonsai 3.0.0.
I mentioned an update to these files yesterday, I'm going to work on that now and get it finished.
I'm not saying that the new changes will fix the problems, but there's a chance.
BBL with the update.

Updated, check OP.
Those who are freezing at the bootscreen, please report back if you test this.
-ps these files clear out davlik-cache, so the 1st boot after a restore will take a while (but should not freeze @ the samsungmobile screen).

I would be curious as well, only thing i can think of is when Bonsai runs it does not wipe data, if you install a rom that wipes data before install it will wipeout .andriodsecure on the sd card.
I'm running AOKP M4 with Matrix kernel.
None of my pictures show up in gallery and none of my music that's on my phone shows on any music app. I've also check through ES File Explorer and they're there
Any help is appreciated.

Go to application manager. Clear the data of media storage. Reboot and wait for half an hour atleast. Also try clearing data of gallery. Make sure the folder where you have your files don't have .nomedia file.
If that doesn't work then something must be really wrong with your rom.

Depending on what rom I'm using, the misc folder will have anywhere from 3.5gb to 6gb. When I go into folder to delete items nothing shows that amount at all. I have tried backing up to SD card and formatting and its still there.
Any idea on how to clear out these items for the extra space? Or if they are important and I need them? What are they exactly. Thanks in advance.

I would assume any that come with bloatware. Being yours is a custom rom I would think any apps that come with it would be under apps. But since verizon and samsung have a bunch of stuff that you just can't uninstall by default they probably just hide them under misc

I am facing similar issue. In my case I have had a small 500 MB left on my Phone then ran CWM nandroid backup which failed due to limited space (and I lost those 500MB), then I freeed up some 500 MB space and installed TWP recovery and tried backup with it which failed too and I lost those 500MB too. Then I switched back top CWM recovery and moved pictures to external SD-card now I have got 800MB but I am sure there are some temp files two previously failed backups. Any ideas where to find them? I thought they would be MISC files which are 4.51GB on my SGS3.

Yea, there's a newer version that's supposed to have support for multi-user feature. This is why you have /0 in your file system. If you're sticking with AOSP 4.2, then you need a newer version of CWM which you can download from the official CWM website. It should download as an img file which you can use EZ Recovery (available in the Play Store) to install and properly update.
The next step would be to select all and copy everything in the /0 folder then move it up to /sdcard.

You don't really want to have a /0 directory because it changes the path for anything you use that is saved to /sdcard. Try restoring a nandroid and you begin to see the problem. That's what leads to the posts such as this since it's usually unexpected.

I had to RMA my Nexus 5 due to some display issues. I just got my new one today. I unlocked/rooted/flashed Omni and Franco and now I'm ready to start downloading all my apps. The problem is, I just noticed I've got 8GB of bandwidth left until Sunday and I need to hold onto that for Netflix etc. Is there any way to transfer all of my apps from my old Nexus 5 to my new one before I restock/relock and return? Worst case scenario is I wait until Monday. Or, I just download those really small apps that I use daily and wait until my bandwidth to roll over on Monday before downloading the rest. But if there's another way, I'd like to give it a shot.
Thanks!
Make a backup in recovery, copy to computer, copy the backup to new phone, restore? After all it's identical hardware so it should be fine.

Would it be a problem that my old phone is running CM while my new one has Omni with Franco?

As long as it is still the same version of Android it should be okay. To keep the ROM flash only /data and clear /cache and /dalvik-cache to avoid any errors. Worst case you just flash the entire backup, use Titanium to get any apps and such, and reflash Omni.

I think using Titanium or Helium is much easier to use.
Also, don't forget your sms...
Yes you can backup the phone via ADB and restore in on the other one if its the same specs
