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.

hi guys,
I am a newbies, My AT&T Atrix 4G's system version is 4.1.83
with build number OLYFY_U4_1.8.3
I would like to install non-market apps so i need to root my phone first,
i have tried aroot,super one click,gingerbreak and it didn't work...
I have tried 3 hours...Can somebody help me???
You can give us some details about the problem you are having. Root process should be very simple.

Run gingerbreak then gladenabler.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
what i did was put gingerbreak.apk file to my external SD card on my Atrix 4g and opened it with ASTRO app... then it did all the work and rebooted... downloaded root check app to make sure it was rooted...also make sure your internal memory is not mounted because you will loose the apps you installed, found out the hard way since im also new... but lucky for me it was just a few apps
so...how to unmounted the internal memory? thanks
to unmount go to settings, then sd card & phone storage and then go to unmount internal phone storage
I have a p769 and was on ICS v10g rooted. I used the JB 20d rooted cwm backup to upgrade. I'm unable to move files from the internal sd card to my external sd card. external sd works fine, can use the files on it and play music from it.. anyone know what is causing this?
Instead of using backup and restore it try flashing full custom rom . It may be a bug or ya have not restored ya backup properly or md5 mismatch .
Lookout into the forum for best ROM and flash that
Thanks!!
Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!
I wouldn't recommend flashing a custom rom, plus it is a long process to unlock the boot loader to do so (for the p769), and you really have to know what your doing to get everything working.
Now deadenz what app are you using to move files? you might just be doing something wrong. I have issues moving stuff when connect to a computer when using mtp. I use the smanager app to move files from internal to external.
Es file explorer

I just tested with root browser from rom toolbox pro and didn't have an issue. Issue is with es file explorer?

I know this is an age old question, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I was wondering what my best option was to get apps and/or their data onto my microsd card. I've tried the method with Directory Bind, but I wasn't to big a fan. Just looking for a point in the right direction, for the easiest/quickest/best method.(I have already rooted my phone, so rooting isn't an issue)
Also while I'm here what's the best method of free tethering, again with the rooted ability.
Same here! I've tried the foldermount method and using shortcuts with the root explorer in Rom manager to no avail. But, for someone with some knowhow, I've accidentally got it to work with Spotify. I don't know for the life of me what I have done, but between hours of using the above to methods, Spotify is now on my external Sd card. I can uninstall spotify, wipe data, cache, the whole nine yards and when I reinstall, boom, straight to my sd card. I can reformat my sd card, and when I install spotify, it will create a folder named Android/data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui folder. on my sd card. All the songs i download goes in the same directory just like it did under sdcard0 on the internal memory. But now, I can't replicate this at all. I'm trying with zedge, but no luck. If I find anything, I'll post back to this thread.
I downloaded a couple of apps,but when i open ES file explorer i cant find the apps,it suppose to be in the download folder.I did check in the sd card0 and in the ext sdcard and no lock.

First time I tried with Directory Bind I was able to move the game file to the sd, but when opening the app it requires downloading the files, so it can't find them in the new Directory. The next time was short lived because I couldn't find files for most recent app

Doesn't titanimum backup allow this? I've never personally tried it but I thought I saw a move app to SD card option.
From what I understand this cant be done on JB.

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.

Thanks for the response. So can I go into root explorer and just move that stuff to that designation to fix it?
You could flash a rom with the app to the SD card function. Like darkslide

If I did that wouldn't I still have the same problem when I revert back to stock Rom? Or you thinking flash that save that app(if its a app at all, not sure if the rom your talking about has it baked into it or not) on titanium and restore it on other rom?

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.
can't

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...
I am having trouble downloading from online and backing up from titanium backup to the external micro. Do we have to do a sd card write fix? I thought that got rid of that.

Isn't there an app that fixes the issue? Can't believe LG hasn't done something about this yet. This was an issue on the G3 also.
Haven't loaded Tbu yet but for other apps when you go to write to the external SD app there is a prompt to give permission to that app to the SD card.
Go to app store and download NextappSdFix. I had to do the same thing. Just run it, and reboot.
that worked , thanks make123
That fix only works if you are rooted. I have an ATT version of the V10 and (so far) it cannot be rooted.

Some apps will prompt you to select target storage in the system which does not require root (root explorer and andftp support this feature).
A fix for those people who are having problems writing to the microSD Card (as mentioned above). Put the card in a PC and right click on it. "Rename" it or go into properties and "Label" it. On one card I had to format "exFat" & label it.
