SD card question - Motorola Photon 4G

Hi all. I want to format my SD card since I am going to move on to ICS. Are there any folders that I need to save? I already have a titanium backup and I will be saving my pics/video folder.

Save your Temple Run stuff. It's very sad to loose all your achievements.
If you made some backups they should be in clockworkmod folder. Save them too. But Temple Run is much more important, so don't forget it

Titanium Backup Question

When i back up all my apps with Titanium Backup (free version) if i was to format my SD Card when im copying another build onto my phone what happens then, do i just to to the Android Market,download Titanium Backup and all my apps will be there or can someone tell me how it works.
Cheers
First copy the TitaniumBackup folder from your SDcard to your PC. That's where all the backups are stored unless you've sync'd them with dropbox.
Then after you've formatted your card copy it back so Titanium can restore them.

the free version from what i can see doesn't give you the option of saving your backups to an SD card unless ive missed something?
anyone...?
Just think about it for a second. If TB doesn't save the backups to the SD then where does it save?
Anyway, do you're desired backup option, then copy the folder called 'TitaniumBackup' in your sd to your pc. Then copy the folder again to your sd after formatting or whatever.

Titanium backup, no matter what version you're using, does backup to SD. Specifically it backs up to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/
So what you need to do is run Ti Backup batch backup of whatever you choose (userapps or system settings or both), copy /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ to your computer, format the SD card, flash new ROM, go to market and install Ti Backup, then open it and do a batch restore. If you flashed a new ROM it's not recommended to restore system settings as they might conflict, but userapps (which consists of just apps you got from the market) should be fine.
Is it possible to convert TB to system app?

[Q] Help with titanium backup

Can anyone give me a quick tutorial on how to set titanium backup up on my atrix, i had it on my cappy, but i just need to know really where the actual files need to be on my sd cards, whether it be on external or internal sd. the way it was set up on my cappy was kinda screwey. i did better just saving the files on my computer once backed up, rather than saving the just to my external sd. im having a hard time explaining exactly what im trying to do, so any input would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit: solution to backup to external sd:
go in to tibu> menu button> preferences> backup folder location> press back button twice> select sdcard-ext> then select the green "create a new folder"
titanium backup has its own site full of info on how to use the app. i would suggest going there and looking for the answers to your questions
As far as where your files need to be I don't really understand that part but if you want to know where the backup goes look like since our device is "unique" lol in calling the internal memory an sd card we can't set it to save to our actual sd cards but you can set it to go to your dropbox.
thats just my 2 cents

Copy and paste the TiBU folder to your external card or computer before flashing. Then after your done, paste the folder back to the Atrix's internal sd card and restore. I only restore user apps and not their data, restoring system apps/settings can cause problems.

When using Root Explorer on my Cap or Atrix or my roommates DInc there are 2 folders for SD Card, one has an "ext" indicating its the external card. The other 'SD Card' is the internal memory.
As soon as I get on a computer, I will thank you all, well except for whoever directed me to tibu website, j/k I've already been there though... I was just looking for real advice from real people. More device specific I guess... But that's all I needed. Thanks guys

You can't restore directly from Dropbox. The Dropbox backup is used to replace the files in your Ti backup folder on the internal SD card if they get wiped. If you lose the SD card backup, you sync with Dropbox in Ti, and it downloads all the apps back to your internal SD card, (the default backup folder).
I backup to both so I am covered all around. Works with the Atrix cos' I've had to use it.
Ti Wiki
its pretty much JUST like the captivate
/sdcard/titaniumbackup
which is a symlink to
/mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup
there is no difference in that regard. if you want to save it all to the external SD you need to change the path in TIBU to
/mnt/sdcard-ext/titaniumbackup

Rooted/Custom Rom Running: Can I format the sd card?

Rooted and running bi-winning. My phone has been running fine and now all of a sudden it says I have no memory left and that my internal sd card is full. I don't know how that's possible because I just recently deleted a ton of music off of it.
Is it safe for me to format the internal sd card? I have backed up all my apps with titanium backup so I don't mind erasing all my stuff.
Also, it shows that I only have 353MB of available space on my external sd card? What stuff is safe to delete from there?
Thanks in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think is fine if you do it from within the phone and not from the PC.
best bet is to copy the contents of your SD to your PC first before you format. Or at least the important ones like pictures/videos, music and the titanium backup folder.
Thanks for your replies. I've already backed up all my media files and the titanium folder. Also the update.zip folder.
If you did all that (including the PC backup) then you should be fine. I had to format my SD yesterday, now the trigger3.3 beta rom is running super clean and fast.

Awesome. I'm going to format and flash a new rom.
What in the heck do you have saved in there taking up all that space? LOL and how do you not know you have it in there? I think someone else has access to your phone and is saving their extra nudies of their girlfriends on your phone dood. FIND THEM!!! haha jk. Seriously tho i dunno what you got goin on but the external shouldn't have anything important on it unless you put it there like maybe nandroids or other backups so delete it all!
I secretly save my backups on my friends and families PC's but never their phones, LOL. Good luck!

and you can with the app gl to sd!!
next time search button

for the moment not possible! Maybe in the future someone will make a rom who supports that
Gl to sd card only moves files. Apps will not work later. For example, I moved Max Payne to external sd card, and then when I launched the game, it asked to download missing files. What we need over here is an app that will automatically rout to sd card when clicked.
I tried App2SD, Link2SD and GLtoSD and none worked except for breaking Google Play, the only solution i found was Directory Bind.

Thanks, will give it a try. Weird thing, i've spent like an hour trying to figure out why can't move apps to sd...
Well Directory Bind can't move Apps it only moves folders, so you can move all the SD data and some of the folders containing the Apps but when you move it you have to leave the original folder on internal memory because it makes it impossible to delete, so you just have to delete the contents.
Anyone tried "super mount".app made by lidroid
Would this work?
I opened the script file using notepad, would you just change where it says "external_sd" to "extSdCard" and it would bind the folder and allow games to access the data from the external SD?
Just asking because I'm not sure if this would work on the S3...

[Q] using SD now, do i need move anything over?

will manually move my pics/vids.....is anything else that could have been on sd card if i had it in since day 1 that need to be moved over?

Depends what apps you installed and where it stores it's data. You will have to do some research.

what if i got a TB of all my apps...will the restore put back to internal (not apps, the app data) since was originally there or will it detect sd and move it there?

TB would just restore them how they are already installed. I know Titanium Backup can go on the SDCard.
