phone settings, storage and format USB storage?
they put that in there for those kind of things....

From front to back. Wiping from back to front can be rather messy.

[Q] Quick question? Nandroid backup

Can you, or should you do a NANDROID (CWM) backup between different devices?
I broke the screen on my month old SGSII (Yes, it can be done), I got the replacement already, but I just want to know if it's wise to restore from an image...Are there Unique Device ID's or something similair that would identify the device/cause problems?

Thanks Pirate. I'm hoping a dev can confirm (not that I don't trust you) Nandroid backup is taking a while anyway...Shouldn't have disabled the status bars

Just erring on the side of caution.
I had to swap my first GSII and I had no issues at all restoring my backup once I was rooted with CWM installed.

<insert facepalm here>
when you get to a computer and read the thread it will make more sense....or you can click on my name and see that i have a title here of 'Recognized Developer'
It's a trap!
Just kidding. Like each of the individuals that have responded have stated, as long as you're restoring on the same kind of device you won't run into any hiccups. The information that is backed up isn't device specific to that extent.

What other rom would you want to flash? There's only like... lemme count.... two (QuikSense and BeastMod).
But to answer your question, just wipe by recovery if the rom doesn't do it for you.
In most cases you don't need to wipe anyway.

You are gonna have to wait, thats not for our ATT Notes.
The closest we will get to ICS is CM9 and thats what I am waiting for. IMHO CM9>SAMSUNG ICS
This is the n7000 leak that happened a couple months ago...
2nd link even says "41 days ago"
Way to get our hopes up.

This is for the N7000 and i9220 not our rom. The S-pen sdk ha been out for a few weeks use this to get to it http://galaxynotespenchallenge.com/

Use ROM toolbox and under sd card booster there is a option for storage chart that breaks down exactly what's using your memory.

No woman no cry!
if those are 1080P videos I could see it using that much space easily. I had one 45min video that was 6 gb
Similar to what kintwofan said, you could also use an app called disk usage to break it down into exactly what files are what size also

Glad we can all derail this thread badly. Me included. Lol.
OP there are apps that breakdown what files are on your SD card so you can see what the hogs are. I forgot any names and am driving but I am sure you can Google them easy.
