Just got my transformer today, its awesome. I've found one slight annoyance, being that the internal storage is infact an SD card. I use titanium backup to backup my apps but I cant seem to direct titanium to backup to the external SD. If were to install Custom roms would my apps still be intact?
honeycomb recognizes internal storage as SD and your microsd as MicroSD. if you install a custom rom you can restore from titanium still. however, i flashed prime 1.3 over stock without wiping so i lost no data anyways. basically i am just using the internal storage for /system and apps+app storage, and my 32gb sd for all media.
Go to – preferences/backup folder location and then use the backup/return arrow to navigate back to root folder (/). You should see Removable and inside that will be MicroSD if you have one inserted. Create a new folder if you like
You will now backup to the external SD.
Hope this helps.
That's great thanks, what a stupid way, I would expect the back arrow to close the window entirely. Now I just need to figure out how to get double twist to sync to the external sd.

hi, i've just bought G2X, formerly i had Nexus One.
my question is concerning of restoring apps. i would like them to be installed in internal memory. i backuped apps used at N1 with Titanium Backup. so should i repartition SD card to be whole at fat32 (no ext4 partition)? and restoring in Titanium Backup will restore them to internal memory?
so steps should be like this:
1. formatting card - whole at fat32
2. copying Titanium Backup folder to sd card
3. restoring apps
?
hmm, it seems, that apps are already installed to internal SD and i need to move folder with my backups of Titanium Backup to internal SD and change backup directory in program.
so will try this in the evening. anyway: there is no need for having ext3/4 partition in SD card (external) for apps, like for N1 and whole card may be formatted in fat32, right?
I wouldn't worry about EXT3/EXT4... I've found no need for it. Apps install perfectly fine on the SD card without it.
That if what I did. The entire micro sd formatted as fat. Works fine.

Same here. The G2X has plenty of onboard memory for apps. No need to install them to sdcard.

so did I. my question is: which apps folders from external SD card i can move to internal SD card? do i need to open every app and look for "save" or "backup" folder in settings and then change it after moving or so? how about your apps?

Is the A2SD on the Nexus just a partition that is symlinked to /data? If so, you should just be able to restore all in Titanium rather easily. If it's the official Android A2SD, that might be more complicated.
Just a guess, but maybe just manually copy all your apk's from your backup folder into the /data/app folder, reboot, then restore all the app data from Titanium?

i used DT Apps2sd script, so restoring from TiBa wasn't a problem. i'm wondering about moving folders with some apps data, like preferences etc.

To b honest I never bothered with copying my app data from my nexus 1. Other than my photos, music, movies, and documents, I just started over from scratch with my G2X. I figured I wanted as clean a slate as possible and didn't wanna carry over anything that might conflict with my new phone. Maybe that wasn't a necessary step, but then again, I haven't had many issues with my phone so maybe it helped.

Hi. I have just installed weapon g2x. I'm trying to restore my apps with astro and my backed up apps don't show. Can anyone help me with this. I keep navigating astro and no luck.
Come on guys. Any help?
Did you back them up to your external SD card? If you did not change the default backup location you may have issues. Did you make a backup of your previous rom with all the apps? If so, restore it and use Titanium Backup to backup your user apps. Change the default location to your external sd card. Install your new rom and then restore your apps from the external sd card.
Where's the location after moved an app from Internal Memory to SDCard? I want to reinstall a large game, so I moved my game to SDCard, want to backup the app data but I unable to find where is it.
Hi there,
I've been using android for some years now and with time android has allowed users not only to expand the phone storage capability but also format said SDcard as internal so the user can save apps directly on the SDcard.
What I never understood is why we can't we move individual files from internal storage to the now encrypted and formatted as internal SDcard? Is this possible?
The cellphone (running android 8.0) has 32GB internal storage. I installed & expanded the total storage capability with a 64GB A1 SDcard formatted as internal. All working find.
The issue I'm having is that I listen to podcasts & I have a massive selection of songs stored locally on my phone. This has filled up my phone to the point of nagging. Why can't we, after formatting the SDcard as internal, not able to move or at least tell the system (be it via file manger, etc) to store/move X,Z files to the SDcard? We can move apps back and forth so why are we not able to move audio and image files back and forth? So much for the convenience of formatting as internal. No widgets, not able to move files to and fro other than apps.
I've basically 60GB free and the phone wont access it unless it is to install apps. I find this to be an useless behavior. For those of us who would like to have a 100% encrypted phone/storage, this is useless as keeping the SDcard as external storage is the one way of fully taking advantage of it.
Thanks
