So i downloaded APPS2SD from the market... and i transfered aquapets and plants vs zombies onto my sd card... cuz my titanium backup wasnt working for some reason. So i thought that if i flashed a new rom....since the apps are on my sd card they would reappear on the new rom... but they didnt... how do i get the apps back? i opened apps2sd to see if they were on the sd card... and they dont show up on the sd card.. HELP!!!
originally, before froyo, apps2sd required an ext2 3 or 4 partition on your SD card to be used so that when you flashed a new rom, without formatting the previously mentioned ext partition, your apps would reappear on boot. with the addition of apps2sd in froyo things work differently so when flashing a new rom, you need to redo your apps.
titanium backup is your best friend in this scenario.
Is this program suppose to restore apps to the phone or back to the original location, i.e. Sd card? I tried to do a full wipe and when I tried restoring, it used all of the phone memory.

If you are not using an EXT partition on your SD card, then MyBackupRoot will attempt to restore everything to the limited internal memory.
If your using S2E or DT Apps2sd, with a ext partition on your SD card, then it will restore your apps to where they came from.
Where you do gals and guys restore your apps. to on this phone? First, by default Titanium Backup was looking at Internal SD Card for storage on this Amaze, so I corrected that in the preferences. Now when I went to restore the apps., it also restored to the internal SD card. Is that correct? How does it normally do it? Does it normally restore to the flash of the phone? I read that when you wipe via Clockwork, for example, before installing a new ROM, it does not wipe the internal SD? Surely I still have to still restore the apps right? Would we just restore the apps, and not their data?
Howdy,
I searched but couldn't find the answer. I have a 32 gb sd card which I inserted, formatted and mounted into my phone. I can copy and paste files from the phone storage and files to it, and vice versa, but when I backup and restore using clockwork mod, it never gives me a choice to backup to external sd card, or to restore from external sd card.
I've tried everything, but can't get clockwork mod to recognize the external sd card. Any suggestions?
Also, if I try to install a zip file from SD card, Clockwork mod does see the card and the files on it, but it just won't list it as a choice to restore from or to backup to.
AFter a bit thinking about it, I guess my question is whether I can backup and restore directly to and from external sd card, or whether I backup and restore to internal card, and then just copy the file to and from my sd card using file manager or explorer?
backup and restore should by default go to external sd. Which version of cwm do you have?

Hello Seniors,
I have some questions (basic newbie) if someone can clarify
1. Moving apps to SD card on rooted phones means - apps will be moved to Internal SD (USB Storage) or External SD card? Howto find the path?
2. If I move apps to SD card, will those be purged while I make wipe data+wipe cache+dalvik+Format System procedure to flash a new ROM? Or it'll remain in SD and catch up back when the new ROM is in?? Big confusion
3. What does a Nandroid backup normally take? Would it keep ROM+ Apps in System Partition or just the ROM?
Apologies if questions sound weir, but hope some can throw sense on it

1 - for phones having intetnal sd- apps will be moved to internal sd..
for phones without internal sd - apps will be moved to external sd..
2 - if you do flash a new rom, all apps irrespective of whether they are on internal storage or internal sd will get deleted.. you need titanium backup to backup and restore apps+ data..
3 - nandroid backup means backing up your rom+ apps.. the backup is stored in sd card.. if you restore the backup, all your current apps would disappear and everything present in the nandroid backup will reappear
