I use Titanium Backup for Backing up my Apps. I wanted to ask that if I back up the Apps which r linked to Sd card using Link2SD app would go back to SD card or would they be backed up to internal memory then?

Titanium works in its own way. It was not influenced by other application. It only back up the apps and user data. If you wanna link it to Link2sd then you should link it by yourself after you restore the apps. Cheers.

Titanium Rocks!
Link2SD can autolink. What I used to do when I restored from Titanium is force titanium to install into internal memory; then Link2SD would move them to the Ext4 partition like magic. Worked perfectly well for me, no need to move anything manually...
I now use S2E and do the same thing. Remember these scripts (A2SD, S2E, Link2SD) all trick Android in thinking /data/app/* is internal but actually they mount that location to the external SD Ext4 partition.

After restoring my phone from being soft bricked, i try to install an app and it says there isnt enough free memory. My SD cards dont have anything on them besides what it needs to run the stock programs.
Any suggestions?

Use odin and make sure you repartition...you will lose all your data though

Here is what I would do. Dowload titanium backup,
Install Rom manager,
Backup your SD card
create EXT2 partition >> This will format your SD card
Then use restore missing apps option in titanium backup to reinstall all your apps.
Doing this will enable your phone to use SD card to store apps. Rejoice

Fack ! I really wish I knew how to do wat u jus typed!!
Having some trouble with Titanium backup and Macnut R10. The internal memory wiped which we all know so after the install I went to the market and got Titanium Backup. Then I copied my registration file and the old Titanium folder (backed up on ext SD) to the internal memory over the freshly installed titanium folder and it wont see all my backed up apps. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
And this has what to do with themes and apps?
My titanium does read any application or the backup that I had/...

Really? Unless I am unaware of another reason to use Titanium Backup, I'm trying to reinstall all my APPS. I figured I would put it in "Themes and Apps" since it is an
APP that restores other APPS to prevent 45 people telling me wrong place.
good morning,
my ace has 233 ginger installed, rooted.
I always used titanium back to move apps from telephone memory to SD.
I just discovered that linksd makes the same thing.
Reading around it seems the link2sd move completely the applications leaving only the link in the internal memory, but I don't know if titanium makes the same.
I'm wondering Which are the differences between these two methods and which is the best program to move applications?
thanks
I use Titanium Backup to move to SD and it must transfer the files to SD and leaves a link on the internal because amount of ram available increases on the internal drive.
I have had no issues with it.

Ram?
noboddy has tested both the applications to understand which is the best one?
I think titanium makes a mount point for each moved app, and link2sd a symbolic link. Dunno what's better though. I would say... Test it in performance, comparability and memory usage...

I have the same question bro. Did you get the answer yet??
I've using the Titanium Backup feature but seems almost everyone "love" link2sd, so it has to have something different I guees.
Titanium Backup move to SD = Android move to SD

Hey thanks. That means is "not that usefull" as Link2SD right?
Seems I'll have to try it then.
Any problems with it?

I just install S2E and then restore all my apps using Titanium Backup. S2E installs them in the SD automatically so I don't have to stop to batch move them so the SD.
Titanium uses the older method in which apps are stored on the FAT partition and mounted, link2sd needs a second ext4/3 partition and simlinks each app. link2sd method is better as it doesn't need to wait to mount on first login. Titanium leaves dalvik cache on internal, link2sd moves it to ext partition and so it saves more space. s2e and a2sd is similar to link2sd but they symlink the whole folder, which is less flexible but easier to manage.

And that's exactly the problem with link2sd: it runs late. So the apps it links to aren't available while the sdcard is scanned for icons and file paths. Consequently it often (ie. always in my case!) has to restart or "soft boot" the device, which is annoying to say the least. I even had some unusable apps that couldn't take the fuzz. All probs repaired easily, but then, why bother? I kept the 500MB ext2 partition, though, might come in handy some day.
I suggest using ext2 as a general rule: ext3/ext4 are created with a log by default. This log carries changes to any data on disk and is flushed out from time to time by a special kernel thread. While this can speed operation and even safe guard against data corruption it is also unsuitable for flash storage and puts load on the wear levelling block driver beneath it _if there is one_! Now ext3/ext4 can be created and mounted without a log, but you'd have to trust other peoples/devs judgement to get this right. Not a problem with ext2. Ext4 is really fast and reliable, but with flash the bottleneck is elsewhere.

Exactly.
I use both the apps, and you can make them working togheter for the best backup - restore experience on our SGA:
simply do this:
1) set autolink option "on" and install location option to "external" within Link2SD before installing the apps, all will be linked to SD automatically.
2) set "restore backups to ..." option to "Internal storage" within Titanium backup before restoring.
Once you do this, apps restored with titanium will be auto linked.
WARNING: don't link app like launchers (and related, like theme) or keyboards.
Hm, I've not had those problems with link2sd. I do agree that s2e method is simpler and less prone to possible errors; a sym linked dir doesn't need a service to relink per application as link2sd does. And I agree that if you are unsure about disabling journaling on ext4, then ext2 is a better default. Annoyingly sd-ext seems to mount as ext3 by default, so I manually edited init.d to mount as ext4 and removed journaling.

True. Who has used Norton Utility Manager?
if i upgrade to a different rom will titanium backup or w.e keep its backups?
Yes, but make sure you don't format the SD card. Please note restoring system data between different ROMs is not recommended at all!
Also, you might want to use the dropbox sync feature just in case the SD card fails.
So i cud just flash a diff rom without sd card in? N android n htc recomend cyanogen n support new roms they say just be carefull

You can keep it in, just don't format it explicitly.
Once you wipe (everything except SD card) and install a new rom, you can download Titanium Backup from market and restore user (not system) apps. They should be there since the backups are on the SD card.
hey every one!

Tips from me. After installing apps, quickly link to sd. Why? That because when your internal memory smaller than your application data you cannot link your app.

Try move to sd app. you need root permission for that.. It wil work :good:
Link2SD needs ext2/3 partition to work...I think :/
Sent from my MsM7xxx usin BCM21553...
No it doesn't. It only requires an ext partition when you 'link' apps, as what yusrilramadhan has suggested. Moving apps to the SD card does not require an ext partition, rather the app is moved to .android_secure as a .asec file. The app data is left in /data.
You can access these .asec files in /mnt/secure/asec, provided you have root.
Link2SD can both link and move apps to the SD Card, while a host of other root apps can do the same, such as Titanium Backup.
If I remember correctly, GingerKat is a CM7.2 ROM, which means that you can move apps to SD through settings (provided you change some CM settings) but this is generally not recommended.
while formatting sdCard in Mini Partition Tool, did you make both partitions as active?
if not, it wont work
