I'm just curious if after wiping data and cache when flashing a new rom will you still be able to run titanium and restore apps and data. Now I've made a backup copy of the internal storage and placed it on my pc, but the transfer rate is so slow that I'm compelled to ask my question.
yea you'll be fine running titanium.. and wiping data will not touch your music/photos

Hi
Hopefully someone can help, as I am pulling my hair out :crying:
I have installed JB ROMS four times and updated Kernal to Phil however I still keep getting the same problems with my storage, not enough space etc for every ROM installed. I have updated the Kernal and performed factory reset, full wipe, format system, wipe cache, dalvik etc through recovery. However the phone still has the same user data each time, its like its not being deleted every time I install a new ROM. At the moment I can not sync gallery due to not enough space, download off line reading for the BBC, Guardian and the Current keeps crashing and other app thay requires data downloand.
The storage does not change no matter what and I can still see the same data files from the first install.
Is there an additional step I need to perform to completing wipe the phone internal ?
TIA

Have you tried to mount the partitions you want to wipe in CWM recovery before wiping?
Maybe that's the trick.
Just a guess.
Im on stock JB rom with philz kernel. Woke up today and got a notification saying my storage in full. The 2GB storage for apps only. I have not gone to play store to install stuff for some time alrdy and i am on this rom for 1mth alrdy. Cleared dalvik and cache partition as well. Havent try tried a format
Hey guys
so whenever i need to flash new rom we need to format data and system before so i was thinking any way to format data without
losing apps
as apps are installed in data/apps and data/data
is it possible ?
i hate restoring again and again using titanium b
The whole point of formatting /data is to erase all the apps. Use TB
Hello everyone,
I have been having major issues with my phone as of late and havent had the time to address them. Until I absolutely had to today.
Recently my phone has been intermittently force closing every open app (including sys apps) until a reboot stops the process.
Today my phone rebooted into a boot-loop and I have been trying to gain access to photos on my internal memory for most of the day.
I have access to CWM and download mode.
I have tried mounting the usb in CWM to no avail. "unable to open ums lunfile" error.
I have tried reflashing the current ROM I am using (AOKP)
I have tried accessing the files and transfering them to my microSD using Aroma file manager but it can't seem to access my internal storage.
Can anyone suggest a way to access the photos on my internal storage so I can back them up to either my computer or my microSD?
After that I am fine wiping it and starting all over.
Thanks!
When you do a full wipe, basically Wipe data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik cache, only the rom will be deleted. Your internal (and external) memory won't be touched, so you won't loose your photo's, music or anything like that. Just flash a new rom after the wipe.
However, if you haven't backed up anything with Titanium Backup, you will loose your apps, but I think your files are more important than apps are

Thank you for the quick advice! I ended up trusting it and wiping from recovery. Photos stayed intact and I backed them up and proceeded to wipe.

Messed around without an backup! i know! Crazy kids.
Anyway, i installed TWRP after and wondering if it is possible to backup all apps and data from internal storage and restore after wipe.
I mean, i wanna to get it restored as it was before but without the saving of the settings on all apps and Android for that part, then it should be OK OK (?) cause it was the changed of settings that made it F'CKT.
There is to backup:
Boot
Recovery
System
Data
Cache
EFS
Modem
edit:
I can use Advanced Wipe and there is:
Dalvik Cache - Did not help!
System
Data
Internal Storage
Cache - Did not Help!
Micro SDcard
Is it System? or? :/
While switching ROMs , can we restore data (internal+sd-ext) from previous ROM using twrp?
Those Who have tried it or having knowledge abt it please share..
Files stored on Internal + External SD has nothing to do with with switching ROMs.
Explanation, while backing up from twrp you get options like system, data, cache and boot.
"Data" here represents application data which includes user apps and their data (data of system apps too).
Example- You downloaded a song from chrome. That song resides on your internal storage but isn't considered as data of chrome (lets say it's external data) , while bookmarks in xhrome is considered as internal data.
So if you're worrying about your songs or photos. Then don't. Just dont wipe your internal storage or external one and everything's safe.
Now about the data partition, it's absolutely fine to restore data only from previous backup of twrp. However it may conflict in the new rom. Suppose you have a data backup of lollipop rom and you're trying to restore it on a marshmallow rom, it'll give you headache a little bit.
None of the VALUABLE application data resides on external storage. (Exceptions are always there like I've seen clash of clans caches in external storage, it's not valuable thats why I've highlighted this word earlier)
Anyway I don't think twrp back up the data stored on external storage (correct me if I'm wrong here).
So you're good to go if you're about to restore data from same version of android. Just restore and see what happens.

With SD-ext, I mean second partition which is used for link2sd or app2sd...restoring that in a same Android version on different ROM..will it create problems?
P.s thank you for your reply..?

Yes twrp won't backup linked data.
I've tried this for once.
Just do data backup from twrp and then restore it in new rom.
Since you won't be wiping your second partition of sd card. Files there won't be harmed. After restoring you'll get it working like in the previous rom.
