Sorry I have a noob question and I am not sure if I can address it clearly but I will try.
I have a problem with moving the apps to the SD card and backup with Teamwin.
Scenario 1,
I have A B C apps installed in the internal drive. I make a backup with Teamwin. After the backup, I feel like moving some apps to the SD card so app A and B are moved to SD card. Few days after, I need to restore the system so I restore it from teamwin. Of course there will be app A B C on the phone again. My question is where did the files I moved to SD go?
Scenario 2,
I moved app A B to the SD card then make a backup. Once I restore the system, A B will be missing. Only C will still be on the phone.
How can I deal with these problems? Thank you.
When you make the backup with teamwin did/do you check
"Backup sd-ext" ???

Could someone please confirm the process to me for changing an SD card when you current one already has an ext app2sd partition?
This is my guess but would like confirmation before I go at it.
Go to recovery console
Nandroid + ext backup
Copy nandroid backup to PC
Partition new SD
Copy nandroid to new SD
Nandroid restore from console
Thanks
Never mind, found the answer in the CDMA forums

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

Thanks for the answers Syed, clear to the hilt
Hi guys .... Trying to figure this out.
I have the my GS4, its rooted, have Rom Manger Pro, and Titanium Backup Pro installed, and want to flash a new rom on the phone. Trying to do a normal Nandorid back up and it keeps saying I dont have enough memory. So I go out and by a 32gb Micro SD card, run the back up again, and same error. Im guessing its still trying to back up on the internal SD card. Anyone know where I can configure this so it does the back on the external SD card? Also same question on Titanium Backup?
Thanks in advance!
Nevermind .... figured this out.
its under >Settings >Use External Storage (turn the toggle to ON)
I also figured out why I couldnt do a back up as I had already backed up and the current backup with the amount of apps installed filled up the internal storage.
Also found the answer for Titanium Backup here:

Just wondering where a nandroid backup should be stored and if it matters where it is stored? I tried saving my stock rooted backup to my ext sd card awhile back, and now when I try to restore from backup in twrp there is no information found. I then tried to factory restore from twrp and reset my phone as is. It constantly bootloops until i pull the battery out.

What do you mean no information is found? I believe Twrp checks the internal sd by default and wont show your backup in your external sd until you change to look for it in your micro sd card. When you boot into recovery and and then hit restore at the top does the storage bar say Internal storage? If so tap it and change it to micro sd card then your backups should be displayed.

You need to make sure that your Recovery is compatible (i.e., can read) the format of your external card. You might have a 64gb external card formatted in exFAT which TWRP can't read (I don't use TWRP so I don't know if that's the case).
If the issue is compatibility between your card format and your recovery, I would recommend copying the backup off your card onto a PC, reformatting your sd card to FAT32, move the backup back to the card, and try again.
PS - in re: your ? on where to save backup: Internal storage is always 'safest' from a recovery perspective (i.e., your device will always find it); but these days, nandroid backups could be 5GB or more, consuming a huge chunk of space, especially if you only have 16gb to start with. So I think most people end up using their external card.
I just picked up a sd card today for my s4. The question I had was can I just copy all the folders and files that apps have created on the internal SD card over to the external sd card without any issues from the apps that created them? ie twrp, titanium backup etc.

Titanium backup has an option in preferences to change the folder it reads. Twrp should have a restore from ext sd option, I cant say for sure though because im a cwm user. Some data will have to stay on the internal sd card for it to be read properly or you have to use an app like folder mount to move the data.
