That happens with user apps that have been moved to the tablet's sdcard memory (Settings > Apps > [app] > Move to USB storage). Moving the user apps back to internal memory (Settings > Apps > [app] > Move to tablet) will keep the icons for user apps from disappearing. The problem only happens with user apps, it does not happen with system apps. This problem (bug) exists with all versions of Android 4.0.3, including release 5a. Currently, there is no fix.

Titanium backup restore missing.

So I tired another Rom and I didn't like it so I went and tired another Rom and for some reason its not showing all of my apk's backed up. It show maybe like 25% of them. I checked the folder and everything is there but it won't show it the restore section. How do I fix this. Thanks ahead.

When you installed titanium, did you go into preferences and choose the correct backup folder? I always have to choose the one on my external sd card because by default titanium uses a folder on my internal card. Just a thought.

So I have the folder in the correct location. I tired a new Rom and redid my back ups on that Rom. Then I didn't like that Rom so I changed it and when I went to go try to restore my apps it's not showing up in the restore section. The apk's are there. As you can see at the very top in the verify sections in the photos I posted. Did anyone have this problem? I'm not sure how to fix this.

Well, I wouldn't definitely write to the dev then. I think this same thing happened to me a couple years ago, if I remember right I basically had to start over. Have you tried installing the apps from the market and then restoring its data? Or maybe restoring one at a time?

I've had that happen to me, I think I fixed it by messing with filter settings.

Probably you missed checking the "Normal apps (apk)" option
In order for the backup to properly be restored after OS upgrade/update, you would need to have the apk files. The apk files are backed up by Titanium Backup as apk.gz files ONLY if the Menu -> Preferences -> Normal apps (apk) is checked before you back up the apps. Otherwise, it would only backup the app properties and data and not the apk files.
So this is how it works:
Scenario 1: Menu -> Preferences -> Normal apps (apk) is checked
With Titanium Backup, you can restore the APP + DATA.
Scenario 2: Menu -> Preferences -> Normal apps (apk) is unchecked
With Titanium Backup, you can restore only the DATA, but you can do so only after you install the app either from playstore or manually (in case if you have the .apk file).
Hope this helps.

Storage Space Issue on HD10

I have been getting an "insufficient storage space" warning for months now...need to get it resolved.
I am rooted, on HD10, ME7 with Safestrap 3.65
Storage settings shows the 16GB total space, with 7.70 GB used under miscellaneous files, the majority of which appear app-related
I have no photos, music or other files on the phone
Apps were installed to internal, not card (which is 8GB)
Is it as simple as slash and burn some apps? Move a bunch to the card?
I also keep getting Samsung apps automatically reinstalled after deleting - not sure why

Well it sounds like you should at least try moving everything you can to the external card. You can use apps such SD Maid to clean up the phone and see what you're biggest files are and where they are. You can use Es File /download manager to make sure all your download are also going to external card and you can use Folder Mount to point pretty much anything you want to external card as well. So you can try things like that and I bet you'll be in good shape.
I do all those things and I have about 9 gigs free at all times in my 16 G S4

Yea sure if you're considering moving to that why not. As far as what size to make the slot I'd jump over to the Safestrap thread and ask someone opinion there. I've always kept my slots on the default sizes and had no problems so.. SBREEN always suggests doing a full Wipe and then fresh install so I wouldn't dirty flash.
Right now unless you just don't want Knox which I suppose is understandable, there's a safe root method for 4.3 if you wanted to move up and get on HD12 too which is what I'm on. It's debatable at best if it's worth staying on 4.2. They're currently working on kexec support on Safestrap 3.71 /mj7 base so maybe one day we will have more options. Hyperdrive is really the only stable option right now anyways. That's up to you though.

Well any rom slot you create is just using another piece of your internal storage space for all that roms system apps and data and any other apps you may download. So you can eat up 1 or 2 gigs pretty quickly on a rom slot if you're not careful that's all I was getting at.
You really shouldn't have a problem if you get rid of apps you don't need, move the ones you can to your external card then have all your downloads, music, pictures whatever else pointed there as well.
You have a ton of apps?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Presently have 65 since fresh download from playstore after wipe. Doesn't seem excessive. Since it seems related to system apps is there a way to cull clutter there without screwing stuff up?
Going to HD12 seems a bit beyond my comfort level. Is upgrading from 10 to 11 any big deal or do you follow the same steps?

Well I don't think it's the system apps in particular. Everything you download whether from the play store or the Web goes directly to internal storage unless you change that. Add those things in with the actual rom itself and your going to eat up internal space quickly.
So again move whatever apps you can to your /ExtSdCard.
And get rid of the ones you don't need.
Move all pictures and music to /ExtSdCard
Get something like Es File manager which has a download manager built in that way all the downloads from the Web go to external storage as well.
Finally if you read up a bit on Folder Mount you can move even more things there.
Upgrading from 10 to 11 shouldn't be an issue since 12 is the one you need to upgrade firmware and Safestrap for.

2. Reboot into Safestrap
3. Select Rom Slot 1 (has HD10 now)
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

7. Pick Safestrap Kernel in Aroma (DO NOT check the reboot step at the end, instead navigate back to module file)
8. Flash ME7 Module.zip

You'd have to check out the respective threads and see for yourself, there probably won't be any huge changes until you get up to 11 or 12 but look and see. Again my bad on that.

For transferring files from phone to memory card you can use the File Commander app. No other third party app will work once you are on Kit Kat. This is due to sd card restrictions implemented by google under kit kat

File Commander was bundled with the Kitkat update, so Sony is probably just trying to give its non-rooted users an option without reverting the permission and pissing off Google.
There is however a reason why Google is doing this and they've explained it several times. It boils down to security. An SD card is removable; your NAND is not. I've also read about a bunch of devs that hates SD cards because of issues with having to develop for something that has removable storage, so it can **** up their app if the user simply removes the SD card (and a bunch of other reasons). I get it, but this whole thing is poorly executed by Google and the OEMs. Don't want us to use removable storage? Well stop giving us the option. OEMs will have to drop SD support and give us devices with 64GB+.
You can read my about this by googling.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Exactly. They should just make the new phones with AT LEAST 64 GB of storage to avoid these problems. And honestly, during the update to Kit Kat, it should be mentioned somewhere in the changelog, that there are such restrictions. Most people get to know this after the update and some don't even know how to revert back and hence the complaints.

Thanks again for the info, I personally never remove my memory card but obvs it happens..
Is there any reason why File Commander keeps crashing when I try to open it? It gets some way into drawing the thumbnails of pics folder that I'm in, then just bombs out. Is it rubbish?
Just when I thought my prayers were answered....
See if yours is the latest version on playstore. That didn't happen to me :/ or you can try to wipe data in settings>apps>file commander

RAZR Maxx system full

My wife's RAZR Maxx is really dragged down here lately. I removed almost all user apps, but it still is bad laggy. My question is this, since the phone is probably never going to get another update, can I go in and gut all the preloaded apps to free up system space?

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
If you can root it you can fix it. On my RAZR maxx I root with saferoot, install safestrap, cyanogenmod 11, titanium backup, nova launcher, 8sms. With that setup, use titanium backup to move as many apps as possible to SD card. A few will have to remain on phone memory, e.g. nova launcher and 8sms. Phone should be silky smooth. There are plenty of tutorials for rooting and getting CM running. The rest is just apps from play store.

I should add: speedup comes from making space on phone mem.
Nova keeps apps on SD card from disappearing from home screen.
8sms fixes problems receiving mms. Gotta fill in some MMS APN settings within the app then reboot to see effect.
Titanium backup gets the apps on the SD card and requires root. Just using the app manager in system settings to move to SD card is a subpar implementation of this.
