I would really appreciate some veteran help. With only 16gb of internal storage I noticed clockworkmod takes up over 5gb of that. I have done a couple of nandroids and recently updated to version 5. Worried if I keep installing different roms I will eventally run out of internal storage.
My question is, does clockwork usually take up that much memory and if not how do I go about cleaning it up?

Either delete the backups you don't need, or transfer them to your pc. I generally keep two backups on my devices, the stock rooted and the most recent setup. With limited storage maybe you should only keep 1

How do I delete backups. Is there an option in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
I think so. But an easy way would be to mount to pc and do it from there. You can also rename the ones you want to keep. Just no spaces. Ex. Stock_backup_2_12
Keeps it organized that way
Going to be extremely lazy here, not at home right now. So when I connect the tab to the computer, on internal storage, there should be a folder labeled clockwork mod, just delete the backups I no longer need? Is it really as simple as that?

Just use a file explorer like astro or es and go to the clockwork folder then backup and delete the ones you don't need

I rooted my phone for the first time and installed cm7.2 last night. Everything seems to be working great. I only have one problem I backed most of my apps to sd card and used titanium backup for some things also. However I do not know how to get all the apps I backed up on my sdcard back on my phone. when I go to settings/storage it shows that my sd card is there but my apps are not showing up on my phone. Was there another step I missed? How do I get my apps back? Thanks for any help
I know this may be obvious but I am not sure how new you are to rooting. You need to install a root file explorer app first and then go in and reinstall each app once you find out where they are on your SD card.

I will try that thanks this is the first time that I have rooted
Not sure what app to download could you suggest one for me. Thanks
Es explorer and astro are good free options. Root explorer is good if you are willing to part with a few bucks.

Also new android user here. I have been using Astro, it is very nice program.
I think I'm too inexperienced to be rom'ing on my everyday phone. I was running Team Objection lf5 and it was great except for google voice and MHL-out. So I decided to play with CM9. Now I cannot revert back to Objection? CWM recovery menu does not see ANYTHING on my external sd card. But when I pop the card into my laptop everything is still there, including all 3 of my CWM backup dates. What gives? I installed TWRP recovery to see if that was any different but it shows my backups as blank too. (Can TWRP even see/use CWM backup files anyways??).
So if the backups are there....how do you recommend I go about regaining access to them? Thank you in advance for saving my butt!
TWRP cannot use CWM backups and when u boot into CWM u should have an option to restore from internal memory or SD card, which is external. Try that

CWM gives me something like "directory not found" both when SD is mounted and unmounted.
Might be that CM9 is having terrible seeing the external. Put the backup on your internal.

This is true, it's only navigating the internal SD. BUT I can't mount the internal in CM9 to move the backups there. I'm stuck right?
No, flash a ROM, then move the backup on your phone, them restore the backup

Got it. I'm in CM9 right now. Got USB storage "working" in that it connects, but while copying my clockworkmod folder to the internal it will cause the phone to reboot each and every time. (4x so far). I'll keep trying but this was an absolute waste of a day.
External has been wonky on CM9, just flash another ROM, preferably tw based, so you can transfer the file, then restore your backup.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Holy crap the whole problem was incompatibility between CWM and CWMtouch versions. Never would have guessed, but then again I know so little that I thought the backups they create would be compatible. Thanks everyone for your help.
CM7 was/is great on my Incredible, but it appears I am not ready for CM9 on the Note. (With the bugs in CM9 I cannot believe people are asking for CM10 already, yikes). Then again, the is on my everyday, daily driver including work phone so I need every little thing to work right.
I had started playing around with the Syhah Kernel and set up two different Roms (Omega and Darky) works very well however i ran out of internal memory.
with some investigation Clockworkmod was sucking up almost 5Gb so i deleted all my backups to find it still sitting around the 5GB mark deleted Rom Manager and Clockwork fully and got my memory back
Then re-installed Rom Manager and Clockwork, it still sits around the 2GB with one backup so was thinking
I love CWM because if I stuffup I can just reflash the phone back to a backup I guess similar to System Restore on a Laptop?
Why so hungry on Memory and whats a better solution?

Yes just did
Not compatable with the Galaxy S3
I like Clockwork but it would be far better installed and running off the external SD card?
i'm in the same case as you, siyah kernel and 2 different roms installed. Keep getting low storage messages etc with clockworkmod occupying 5.04GB in my system!.. anyone else has any idea?
Bit of common sense is in need here.. You have two roms of course a nandroid backup will take a lot of memory depending on what you have installed. It could be up to 3gb. if you want to make a back up make it no one is stopping you.
After you've backed up connect your phone to your pc and go into your internal or external memory card, depending on where you've backed up to.. Then find the folder Clockwork folder and click to go inside then backup and inside that backup folder there should be a folder with the date. Back that up to your pc..
Once done you know it is on your pc and if you want to restore just put that folder back into clockwork/backup and just restore simples..
The other option is to backup to your external card..
However if you have the new V6 cwm installed you want to backup the whole clockwork folder..
Yes correct you can move that backup file and I have tried that where the memory is used is with clockwork mod

I don't understand how clockwork recovery uses any space after i backup my folder on my pc i delete the whole clockwork folder. And it never comes back to waste any space. Unless i back up again..
Greetings,
I have been busy with this for 4-5 days now and nothing works.
i just resetted everything and started from scratch.
can anyone explain me how i change internal to external memory i gotten a :
64 GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC card Class 10 (30MB/s) SanDisk
And my firmware is:
4.2.2
My Phone is:
Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505
Hope someone can help this noob out.
Need my phone to be ready befor end of the weekend (holliday)
So all the help is welcome.
Installed:
Clockwork installed now
Superuser rights.
only need help how to install the external to internal memory now.
Im not quite sure what youre getting at but ill give it a shot. Theres no way to swap the internal to external memory. Apps and their data get stored on the internal storage. By default theres only a couple things you can have saved to the external memory card. There is an app called folder mount that allows you to save apps/data on the memory card though.

you know a good 1 thats works for GT-I9505?
Thats a mod, i generally refer to conventional means of doing stuff. Anyway ive never used that and it doesnt store everything on the sd. Apps still get saved to internal storage while data/resources get saved to external. Like I said I would check out folder mount. See if that suits your needs.

Once you install a custom recovery yoj cant boot to stock recovery because its overwritten by the custom version. Thats a mega thread for everything i9500 and i9505. I would try reflashing the recovery to see if it fixes it. If not you might have to odin back to stock. This is also the verizon specific forum for the s4 so posting in your devices specific forum would probably get you more help.

Thanks for all the help ill reinstall the offical firmware hope that helps the solution.

Not a problem. Glad i could point you in the right direction. If you made any backups you might want to move those to external storage. They are fairly large. I have a couple 1 gig+ games and several smaller ones and still have 5 or 6 gigs left.

Well the main problem was when i install a couple of games the main memory is full way to fast
thats why i wanted and hoped the swap would help the problem.
tho i just made more problems and consumed to mutch time :silly:
i think i just have to stick around on the problem and hope samsung will fix of have a solution to this in time.
i did not make any backups. so i just have to start frome scratch tomorrow.
thanks for all the help again and gl helping others.
You could also try the app Folder Mount in the Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en this will allow you to put the "data" folders associated with larger apps on the SD card. If you are looking to swap internal to external memory the other suggested thread will help you do that. There are pro's and cons to it and when you factory reset or change ROM's you need to do it all over again.
I searched the forums and I don't see anything sorry if I missed it. Is there a work around to save apps to sd card? Tried updating some apps and phone is telling me insufficient storage. Thanks for your help in advance. I have it set to go to sd card but when I got to where the apps are to move or what have you there is nothing to move to sd.

Guess I need to delete a app to get space to even get that app. Thanks for the quick response. I will delete one and see if I can get it. Hope this works. Deleted 3 apps still says the same.. I can't download Folder mount.
Apps to sd card?
Anyone have any ideas how to get apps to sd card tried deleting some apps due to insufficient space (can't even update a app) deleted 3 apps and still can't download Folder Mount as suggested. Any help would be much appropriated as I am stuck can't update apps or install like this. Did I miss a work around in the OP?
How bad is your storage situation? In terms of MB available?
Also, do you already have Titanium Backup installed? If so, just back up a bunch of apps to your SD card, delete the installs, and then restore from the backups after you've got Folder Mount running and your storage cleared up.

As a reminder, the "/mnt/sdcard" device is INTERNAL memory on this phone. You want to move your apps to /mnt/extSdCard, which is the microsd slot.
I've never tried it, but pretty sure I saw an option in Titanium Backup to move app to sd.

No, you can't just move them there. Applications won't be recognized if you just pick them up and move them.
If you choose to use Folder Mount, that's where you want to move things to.

Ok never mind. That isn't going to work. I can't download folder mount that is kind of my problem. out of space when I have plenty. as shown in the screen shots. So basically I am going to have to wipe everything and use my titanium backup to restore apps? I have a feeling even if I erase all of the apps it will still say that as I have so much storage free(internal). Sigh
There are multiple me7 based ROMS that can be flashed that have native app to sd

I haven't pulled the battery oddly enough..(you would think that I would have done that first)... I will try that when I get home as it is in a otterbox case and I am at work and it's a pain to get out. As far as ME7 Builds go last I heard once you flash to a ME7 build you would be stock on ME7. Which I am not trying to do. I am happy with touchwhiz at the moment. Not really into the plain dark look as it is just that to plain for me. Which Rom where you suggesting that you can revert back to a MDK build with? I have a nandroid already. But I tried deleting apps to see if if would let me download it and all it does is delete that app and I can't put the app i just took off back on. With all the storage available. Just kind of baffled that no one has really ran into this. I have TWRP on it now. I might switch it to 4EXT Recovery as it just has way more options.
1. Deleted apps no difference
2. Deleted Cache no difference (TWRP style wipe)
3. When I get off going to try and wipe Delv/Cach (see if that does anything)
4. If all else fails I will do a complete wipe and start with that app.(Even though you can just change the file destination in root explorer to go to sd card. There is also 2 places it stores on your phone you have a internal sd and a emulated storage. I believe this is wear the hang up is being caused.
Just seems strange that you are getting any type of error with the amount of internal storage you have available. When you get an app from tue store itsaves to your phones internal storage, which is not even close to being full. Also if you are rooted you can go back and forth between MDK and ME7 builds. Devs dont really mess with bootloaders when making roms...
