I rooted my SG3 and installed Titanium, but it would not recognize the folder on the sd card where all my old apps are at. With some help, this was fixed. Take a look down in post #4 and it will fix it.

It probably looks at the internal SD Card first, try directing it to the external SD Card.

You need to go into preferences and change your backup folder location. Set it to scan the whole device and choose the location where your backups are restored. Profit.
Thank you! That was it.
Sorry for posting here, but the way this forum is set up in XDA with all these sub-forums, i figured this was only relevant to Verizon rooters.
Thanks again.

Okay so I have a feeling there is a simple fix bit I've tried everything I know on how to fix this. I have ringtones on my memory card that was working find on my Evo 4G and now that I have my 3D it will not let me set them as a ringtone. It doesn't even show up in the list of ringtones like it used too. I can play them in the file explorer that I have but it the option to apply as ringtones doesn't work. the files are .ogg
So you've discovered root sweet how did you do it?

My thought is that the Development forum is thought of as a technical questions forum as well/instead. I don't really know though.

no, the development section, in very broad terms, is more about furthering our phones capabilities via roots and roms. not really a place to ask questions, unless those questions relate relate to rooting or roms you are making. in general, if you're unsure, the q&a section is where you should go before here.

I really don't understand why some people have to act like this. Everybody has to learn somewhere and it's disappointing to see that some people make it difficult. Along with making pointless videos. If you think that this "noob" question is such a waste of space. Please almighty professional modder give me a solution to this problem.

The video is not pointless, if you watched it youd notice you broke an xda rule that's covered in the video. If you can't follow the simple rules, expect to get flamed.
Okay well like I said a few posts after I didn't realize I posted in the wrong forum and if you check Q&A I went there afterwards. So calm down and if this post bothers you so bad why don't you go stalk the other forums and attack all the other posts that should be elsewhere.

Get a file explorer like Astro and then create a folder on your sd card called "media" (no quotes). In that folder, create a folder called "ringtones" (no quotes) and put your custom ringtones in it. They should then show up in the list of available ringtones. Do the same for a "notifications" folder (no quotes).

Done that I have had that set up since I had my G1. I downloaded an app from the market that was a soundboard and when i hit apply my phone froze up and forceclosed. And it didn't apply.

Hey guys before you say anything... I know this was answered about a thousand times but wherever I search I cant get a good enough topic to be fully certain so I'd be thankful if someone who knows this would answer...
So my question is: If I make my Nandroid backup and move it to my pc, can I delete every last thing from my phone inc. my music, photos, videos, contacts etc.(basicaly do a hardcore wipe) and then move the backup back on the phone and restore it using cwm recovery so that everything is back and fully working, you know all music, photos, settings and stuff would be back???
Hope someone will answer me and thanks in advance

No problem. If you are unsure, before you delete anything, just restore the backup(also to make sure it works).

Actually, I don't believe a nandroid backs up your internal or external sd card. So you should copy that to your computer as well.

hi guys
theres a few things that i need to know if somebody could be so kind to assist or point in the right direction.
i have my s3 international for the past month now. i had put cyanogenmod 10.1 and it had its issues yet my titanium back up and my sd card was working fine. now i got my s3 back yesterday with stock rom and i flashed it and put cwm then restored a backup of the old nightlies then i did an update with the new nightloies,problem is that now none of my images are there and titanium backup is giving me the elements failed when i try to restore missing apps. how do i go about restoring my images from a nandroid backup? or where is it? i like this rom but now i noticed that the battery drain lasst night was like 15%. as you can see im still a noob at this so i cant check logs etc cos i dont know where to look. i have attached screenshots that might help.
Images are either stored on your internal or external SD card, in the DCIM folder. If they aren't on your external SD then you have lost them, nandroid doesn't back up the internal SD unless you tell it to and service would have wiped the internal SD.
Ask in your ROM thread for specific help, but I'd suggest flashing a fresh version of the ROM without performing any restore - see how it runs for a few days before you add any apps.
If you aren't confident then best stick with stock, or an modded version of stock, for a while first.
so what section do questions go?

thank you, very good advice. i will miss those apps for those few days tho. i think that if titanium back up will work i will get all my images etc back.
going to try your advice now and if i dont come right ill be back right here.
thanks again
Mate, if your images aren't on your internal or external sd card - they ain't there. No amount of titanium backup fiddling will restore your images.
Regarding your apps, play store will have a record of anything you have downloaded. Menu, my apps, slide left. Profit.

so you saying that if i ddi a nandroid backup and a full titanium backup and if i did a wipe then i will still lose all my images etc??
Mate, using a file browser, look in your DCIM folder on BOTH the internal and external SD cards.
If you can't find it, download a software called Recuva. It works like a charm. Sure, they'll be some corrupt images, but, most of them are there.

thank god fro tiem viewer! so i checked at home and i have all stuff backed up on my external at home and im lucky it was plugged in so i could check. EVERYTHING in a fodler called s3. i surprise myself sometimes. only thing i wont have is the pictures i took after i backed it up, thats a small speech tho. so i dont have to stress now,i can do it at home. i think im gonna need a larger sd card, i got an 8 gig card but shows as 5.6 or so.

Hey, i'm using ArchiDroid rom v2.1 based on latest CM10.2, which includes new camera app - Focal.

You can try Snap Camera HDR, which lets you save to the SD card: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap&hl=en
you could use a Tasker profile
i've made one, which everytime I leave camera/Focal/whatever_camera_app, moves all jpgs from internal DCIM folder to the external one.
