How to transfer data to new phone

I have a droid x, but over the weekend I got a razr maxx. What is the best way to transfer the data I want to keep, while not transferring data I don't need onto my new phone. My sd card seems to have a lot of files on it other than just my pictures and videos. I have titanium backup with all of my apps and data backed up. Should I only backup and restore user apps? Or I should I backup and restore user apps + system apps? My main concern is transferring things I don't need on my new phone. I don't want to clutter it up with useless files and data from old apps.

After taking a closer look at my apps, there really isn't anything that I can't do without. I could just download the ones I want to keep onto my new phone from the play store. If this is the case, is there anything on my sd card that I need to keep, other than pictures and videos? Could I just copy pics and videos on my laptop and totally erase my sd card? I plan on doing a factory reset to my old phone and giving it to my mom.

question about storage

in settings/storage it says my phone has app storage and phone storage. what is the difference between these two because my music is on both of them so it's taking up twice the space. Also can some one tell me how to access them?

Your music should only be on phone storage, can you post a screenshot?

App storage is for apps (somewhat obvious) and storage reserved for the OS. Phone storage is the user accessible portion of storage (music, photos, video, extra app data that would normally be installed on a removeable SD on some apps).
Agree with the above post, you should post a screen shot. I think you are mistaken, music should only show up on the phone storage. The OS takes a huge chunk of the app storage, particularly if you are on a Sense ROM (almost 4 GB on my phone) so you might be confusing this with your media files. I believe the OS portion of the storage shows up as "Other" on the app storage on Sense ROMs.

ohhh actually I was mistaking it lol thanks

[Q] Google Play Magazine storage?

I am wanting to know where are the magazines stored on the device when downloaded on the Play Magazine app?
Google says it is stored on the Internal Memory and when insufficient storage is avail. It is stored on the SD card (if one is present)
I have 900mb on my Internal & 62gb on my ExtSD. I've looked on both and still cant find them.
It would be great if somebody could help me out

[Q] Phone Storage Full... but WHY?

I recently received a phone storage full notification on my HTC One Mini, which surprised me because I don't have a ton of apps (mostly stock ones that came with the phone), and less than a gig of music, plus 3 gigs of photos/videos. I checked the "storage" calculator under settings and it showed the various categories that are taking up the most space (e.g. apps/music/photos/downloads/other). What I discovered was that "other" was consuming over 5 gigs of my storage space! I plugged my phone into the computer and started navigating through all the folders on the phone and can't seem to find the culprit.
What could it be?
I deleted all but my most important text messages (that barely made a dent in the storage), cleared my browser cache (still did very little), and now I don't know where else to look. Any suggestions/thoughts?

Use DiskUsage from playstore that will better show what the biggest users of space are.

Simply amazing! DiskUsage revealed that Google's Music Streaming App (All Access) is consuming nearly 5 gigs of my storage space! I don't download any of the songs I play, and yet they appear to be stored locally on my phone somehow. Is this how it's supposed to work or is something wrong? Does anything bad happen if I delete this stored data?

Inside of settings of Google music you can disable caching of music. If you delete the folder nothing bad will happen but it will fill up again unless disabled . Cache can also be cleared via app.

[Q] Titanium backup

I just got a replacement phone because my old one's charging port crapped out on me. I got my new m8 rooted and everything but my titanium backup doesn't have any of my saved data. My question is how I would get that back. I have an older back up on my computer that would probably have it but I don't have access to that computer at this time and id like this phone up and running asap. Any help is greatly appreciated

Where did you store the data on your old phone? If you stored it on the external sdcard and you swapped that into your new phone, it should still be there. If you left the folder location as the default, your data would be stored on the internal storage of your old phone. If they didn't copy any of that over to the new phone, as far as I know the only possibility of recovering your data would be if you had enabled one of the cloud sync options such as dropbox or google drive. If so, you should be able to restore it from there. If not, I think you're out of luck and will have to wait until you have access to your PC.

Thank you that's what I thought too.
