Is it OK to delete /o folder - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I've just installed slimbean 5 on my galaxy s3. I took all my photos and stuff I needed before install. my question is, is it OK to delete the /o folder from my phone as it seems to take up most my storage. I think its all the files from my last ROM, or do I need to keep this folder thanks.

Hopefully that explains it but to summarise, that is where your new sdcard is. You can only delete it if you go back to 4.1

Slim bean SIM issue

I posted a topic yesterday that I'll delete when I get home, but I've discovered my problem.
I'm funning the latest slim bean update, freshly done yesterday. But it won't work with my sim. When I go to choose a network, it just tells me that an error has occurred.
My vibrant is for T-Mobile and unlocked. I use an AT&T sim card.

I tried that, but I would not work for me. I had to revert to Beta 1 again. Am I missing a step?
1. Copy EFS folder from root to SD card
2. Flash Beta 2 and lose IMEI
3. Copy EFS backup from SD card to root
4. Reboot

Assuming you mean clicking the command to fix permissions in recovery, I tried that. Is there a better way to do it?
Ive figured it out.
Slimbean itself as a ROM has a problem transfering the IMEI.
To solve it you can copy the unlocked IMEI and put it in the root efs, blah blah.
But I just put on the Cyanogen ROM instead, and it works like a charm. Nevertheless that Ive found that I prefer Cyanogen.
Good luck to anyone with the same issue. ^^
... thanks?

Fix permission in your root file app. For just the imei folder permission is rwxrwx---, efs folder is rwxr-xr-x.

It's still not working. Beta 1 works fine, so I don't think I have a busted SIM card. Is there anything else I should try?
I have the same problem, but i don't resolve.. I don't find the backup folder.. What can I do? Please, help me

Do you mean NAND backups?
what are you using to make the backups?
If you can connect to a PC and see your sd card then you can right click on all the folders (separately, not all at once) on the card to find the one containing large file sizes. Open that folder and see if your backups are there.
Do you rename the backups? If yes just search for one of the names
Also questions should be posted in the Q&A section, Thanks
Has Mork landed at XDA? Nano nano.
I'm pretty sure he means Nand backups. But, OP, we need some clarification to better help you. How are you making your backups? Are they done in Recovery? If so, which Recovery are you using?
Thank you Toledo Jab for your help it worked like a charm .

Problem with phone storage

I'm using can 6.0.3. I have problem with my phone storage. Before flashing Pardus rom I have made a backup. After flashing Pardus rom. The storage seemed divided by two. One which is content l can see via my file. And the other I can see only via recovery. I want to delete the other on but I couldn't because it is hide. I have already format my storage. But It didn't work. It still there. Sorry to my bad English. Hope someone understand and have an answer.

Put AppData onto your SD Card

Hi guys, so i ran out of storage on my mega 6.3 and found out it was the googleplay music data, so i just looked for a solution and ran over this:
watch?v=lYFw9bEAzM8
I am not allowed to put a link it in it, just put youtube . com infront of this
It's really easy and may help to put huge appdata like games and music pinned with google play on your SD Card. :good:
With a 64GB SD-Card i can install any game and put any data onto my phone now
(Sry for my english, I am from austria)
Hopefully I helped a little bit
Looks good but ill wait for the update maybe they put it in there to move apps to ext sd.

I don't have 9205 but have 9152 mega 5.8. By default the latest 4.2.2 already has transfer app to sd. Then to transfer game data I use gl to sd. Of course root is required. Folder mount also works but I have not tried it.
I also use folder mount but there is also an thread here that switches your internal and external sd.
Only problem is that after root i can not do OTA updates anymore.
But i think kies does work.

The latest version is MJ2, so that is very old.

No, the CSC is only to help Samsung it doesn't do us any good. Keep away from XSA though as we (Aussie) have the bottom dock locked.
The question is app DATA you mean the latest fw can move the game data such as the obb folder? And without root?

I don't know about without root, my Rom has root as well but the official one should be the same.
I am not sure about the data, would that not move with the app? If you run from SD would it not store it on SD? I am not a gamer so I don't know but you could try it, the Rom is an update anyway.
Ok so you have not tried it with game or any app data separate from the app. If the app data is on aseparate folder like "obb" folderthen itwill not move. This is also true with music files and backup files of titanium backup for example.
Gl to sd is the app to use if the app data is separate from the app itself. But the TS does not want to root so I think there is no way yet. Previously on 4.1.2 there was external to internal app but does not work anymore on 4.2.2.
I do know Titanium is movable, you set the place to do backups in the settings.
Anyway there is another thread stating what I already said here- that the MJ2 does not move the obb folder/data only the app.

Surely where the app puts its data is down to the app not the rom?
Previously I used a phone wherein application installation can be installed on the externalsd by selection or by default. So a rom can be programmed to do so. I don't know how difficult will that be to code on the mega and similar phonesbecause of the emulated internal memory though.
