Am sure this has been answered but couldn't seem to find an answer So if it has provide the link please...
Anyway Am still using the 2gig sd card that my hero came with but wish to use a bigger card..The only issue is I use App2sd card... On WinMo there was never an issue you simply just copied all the data over to the new card a hey presto it worked. But with android it does seem that simply(nothing ever is) when using Apps2sd because of the dam partitions.. So my question is this how do I move EVERY THING over to a new sd card inc the partitions and the data within them???? I doin't wish to have to reinstall 300+ apps noiw that I have the phone after 2months FINALLY working properly..
regards
Lohtse

Okay and how do you go about creating a new backup? just do it right over it?
because i heard that it takes up a lot ofspace
Shouldn't the real question be: why is this in the development section?...

think it creates another folder for the new backup... .What I do is, do the backup and move it to my external sdcard or copy it to dropbox or pc until need. The backup should be around 1.5GB...
nevermind..i got it
Does anyone know where the backups are saved to? I did a quick search but couldn't find it
Clockworkmod in the internal sdcard
Mine are saved in Clockworkmod folder on my external micro sd card
Moved to proper forum.
can anybody tell me how to enable sideloading so i can install CWM
i'm rooted with the OTA update
Rooted and running bi-winning. My phone has been running fine and now all of a sudden it says I have no memory left and that my internal sd card is full. I don't know how that's possible because I just recently deleted a ton of music off of it.
Is it safe for me to format the internal sd card? I have backed up all my apps with titanium backup so I don't mind erasing all my stuff.
Also, it shows that I only have 353MB of available space on my external sd card? What stuff is safe to delete from there?
Thanks in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think is fine if you do it from within the phone and not from the PC.
best bet is to copy the contents of your SD to your PC first before you format. Or at least the important ones like pictures/videos, music and the titanium backup folder.
Thanks for your replies. I've already backed up all my media files and the titanium folder. Also the update.zip folder.
If you did all that (including the PC backup) then you should be fine. I had to format my SD yesterday, now the trigger3.3 beta rom is running super clean and fast.

Awesome. I'm going to format and flash a new rom.
What in the heck do you have saved in there taking up all that space? LOL and how do you not know you have it in there? I think someone else has access to your phone and is saving their extra nudies of their girlfriends on your phone dood. FIND THEM!!! haha jk. Seriously tho i dunno what you got goin on but the external shouldn't have anything important on it unless you put it there like maybe nandroids or other backups so delete it all!
I secretly save my backups on my friends and families PC's but never their phones, LOL. Good luck!
I want to backup my ROM before (finally!!) flashing CM9. But I'm a little short on space on my ext. SD card and I'm insterested about one thing. If it backups just the basic operating system, I have no problem with that... But if it backups OS together with all of the apps(from the market ofc), then I have a problem...
I hope I'll get an answer soon...
You should always have a full nandroid backup before flashing another rom. Things can and do go wrong. Saying that, you can do an advanced backup and just backup what you need. Alternatively you can use TB and just backup your apps.

It backs up everything including apps. If you just need the system data, you might just reflash the old ROM

I'd rather revive my old thread rather than starting a new one.
I just wanna know if NandBackup erases Int or Ext sd card contents? Usually I'd go the safest way possible by backing up to a blank sd card, but currently I dont have one.

Nand doesn't erase anything. It just backs up everything. I have restored about twice and its no problem.

its to late. as soon as you format the card in settings, new info is written and 90% of the time corrupts the data. If all that you want to recover is the backup, I highly do not recommend it.
You can use software such as wondershare to recover deleted files. If you erased the actual sd card, take it out and follow the directions. I've done this and only corrupted a tiny percent of the files. It's up to you, good luck. http://www.wondershare.com/disk-utility/sd-card-recovery.html
Hello. I was wondering if anyone has restored a backup of their phone which was using the sd swap. If so, could you share whether you're using CWM or TWRP and post screenshot of files in your backup?
Thnx!

I have with Jedi 14. Restored while trying to get JBSmooth to do some things with loading Sammy Apps. Eventually because I could not get some functions to work because of the swap, went back and turned it off. ( also pictures that i was taking while on swap for some reason would be corrupted) My opinion i'd just leave the cards the way they are. Which sucks since i have a 32gb class 10 card and figured it would run way faster then stock memory.

So, it sounds like you restored from sd swap back to non sd swap? Forgive my wording but I'm trying to see if anyone restored a sd swap backup? So from sd swap or from regular to sd swap? I'm wondering if it's possible.

Yes you can go from a swapped installation to a normal installation. When you re-flash another rom, the data is untouched. meaning all of your pictures stay, all of your downloads stay, everything stays. The only difference is how the rom treats each storage system.

Thank you for your response but I was asking about going from either a sd swap or regular operating system and had success restoring a previous back-up of an sd swap? So, in the end after the restore is complete, you're running a sd swap configuration.
Bottom line: I'm running sd swap and am wondering if I ever had to restore a backup that I made (an sd swap running backup) could I successfully restore to a still sd swapped running system? Is it possible?
Is this clear as mud? :cyclops:

Haha a bit cumbersome to read but that's ok. What I was explaining is that the sd card swap changes nothing other than the way the Rom views it's storage devices. If the Rom is changed, so will it's sd swap configuration.
Meaning that if you have an sd card swap configuration for your current rom, and you restore a nand backup that you made, from a different rom with an sd swap configuration, nothing will change.
If you go from an sd swapped rom to a backup of a regular rom, you will no longer have that swapped configuration, because, again, that configuration is exclusive to the rom it came with.
The answer to your bottom line question is yes. You will still have your sd card swap after you backup.

Thnx. With the nandroid backup utilities designed prior to sd swap functionality, I just wasn't sure whether everything would work the same as regular configuration, i.e. sd swapped configuration would correctly back-up and correctly restore--if needed.
Thnx!

Anytime! Just understand that a nandroid backup is like taking a snapshot of your rom and all of the configurations and settings and apps etc...the sd swap is just like any other configuration, in that it is part of the snapshot taken by the recovery manager in the form of a nandroid backup.
