I just picked up a V10 from tmobile today to replace my note 2 that died. I have a titanium backup, but really don't want to root this thing on the first day and I'm really only planning on keeping it until the G5 comes out although it is a pretty cool phone. So as the subject says, is there anyway for me to get my app data without rooting? I"m thinking I can export to ADB from titanium but I've never really played with ADB before so hoping more experience people could tell me the best way to do this.
Thanks

I may be missing something, but isn't TB data just a collection of apk.gz's, tar.gz's and .properties files? If so, just copy the data from Note 2's SD card (you didn't specify how it died/what that implies) over to the V10's internal storage or its SD card.

Unfortunately, I don't think its quite that easy. I rooted this one to get it done as I needed my data, but I don't plan on rooting the G5 that i'm getting when it comes out so hopefully there is another way.

But you don't need to root in order to transfer the copied files. I must be missing a piece here. Transfer files to an SD card on phone 1 > insert the SD card into phone 2 > launch ES File Manager (or any other file manager) on phone 2 > transfer the files from the SD card to phone 2.

This might be a stupid question, but better to ask then regret it when the time comes. I recently purchased a 32 GB Duracell class 4 sd card, I don't really trust the thing as much as I should, it acts strange at times when it comes to apps running off of it and such. Anyways the question is when you preform a nandroid backup with CWM it auto defaults to the backup directory within the CWM folder on the SD card. Is there a way to change the location of this folder to the internal storage on the device itself? Or when it comes time to restore a backup choose your own location? I trust the phones storage so much more then this sketch SD card.
Thanks for the assistance.
Take out the card when you wanna back up b restore without the external directory it should switch to internal

in cwm, there should always be the option to use the internal sdcard (at least with "my" cwms )
Hello XDA, I'm sure there are somewhat similar threads for other devices, but they didn't seem to answer my question (at least in my opinion) and there wasn't a thread for this when I looked through the section.
I have a crapload of files in my SD Card and recently after trying out many roms and having titanium backup fail on me multiple times, i've been downloading and wiping apps frequently. My SD does have files that I've placed in there like images and music, but it definitely shouldn't be taking up as much space as it is currently. Are there any methods of successfully removing whatever is extra on my card? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can delete everything the computer sees. The whole sd card. Android will remake the necessary information
Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
If you used Apps2sd, you should move them to the phone storage. If you have any rom backups, definitely transfer it over to your pc, along with anything else you backed up. Everything else can be wiped off of the card.
Hey all,
So over the years, I've copied all of my data from phone to phone to my SD Card, mostly to save pictures and videos, but sometimes to also save phone backups and stuff. At this point, I have Gigs of stuff I can get rid of, but I don't want to frak anythign up. Anyone got any suggestions, or is my proposed try the best one?
Here's what I plan to do:
1. Do a backup of my apps and settings like I would do in Titanum Backup.
2. Copy the app backups and any pics/videos I want to a safe place.
3. Reformat SDCard
4. Restore pics and app backup.
Is there something better for this, or something that runs inside of the OS, like an app from the Market, or is this probably the best solution? I obviously don't want to hose any of my apps, but I need to clean up this card.
THanks,
Mike
this is good. everything will work fine.
some applications have their data in sd card. don't know whether TB will backup them or not.

Cool, thanks for the tip, just didn't want someone to point out something that I would have missed that would end up hosing my phone.
Okay guys, so I was wondering, since I dropped my phone the other day and now the touchscreen doesn't work at all.
I took it to a store to get it repaired and they were unable to, so I believe vodafone will replace it for $229
But my phone does do a titanium backup every 2 days at 3am, so I'm going to wait for that to happen before I take it to vodafone.
Anyway, onto the point of this thread, is there anyway to backup the internal memory of the phone?
I have done a CWM backup, but I'm unsure if that backs up the internal sd card?
Could someone confirm whether it does or doesn't, and if not if there is any way to access the internal memory with out using the phone?
Badly in need of help..

a nandroid (CWM) backup includes the phones storage incl. the internal SD card if I am not wrong.
If you have some kind of USB wire, you could try to connect a USB mouse to your S3 to navigate without the touchscreen btw.

well a nandroid should return your phone to the status which you had when you did it, that includes usually all data but I might be wrong with my statement for the SDcard based on the following thread or this one. Whereas I think the reference SDcard in those examples would more be equal to our "external SDcard" and not to our "internal SDcard" which is more like an internal storage, but I might be wrong.
Nandroid backup/restores don't touch the sdcard. They backup to the sdcard but the nandroid only handles /system, /data, /data/data, /cache, boot, and recovery.

The phone is in installation mode. ADB on linux can't detect it. I don't have access to a windows PC at the moment.
And I can't seem to turn the phone on..
Does anyone know much about the phones motherboard and circumventing the phones power button? Apparently there is some sort of issue there..
Or about accessing the phones storage without turning the phone on?
I have a hipstreet phoenix tablet running jb 4.2.2 and would like to flash ustom rom and or kernal. im havig issues with low space due to apps only install on internal 1gb sytem memory and not the 16gb internal sdcard or my external sd. i have rooted and installed apps2sd but it doesnt move the whole file only part of it. also bluetooth diconects at screen shutoff wich i hear is a problom with 4.2.2. i would like to be able to have a custom kernal to help manage ram better and hopefully find a way to have apps nativly ran from internal 16gb and not the 1gb system memory. any help on this wold be great. i dont want to brick my tablet

I've been trying to figure out just how to root this thing. I picked one up on sale, and while limited, it seems alright for the price. That 1GB app install storage partition is super annoying though. I'm willing ti live with it but only if I can root the thing... What method did you use to root it???
I used Kingo root, you have to install the SDK drivers and roots it. I've installed xposed moduals they work fine as well. Where I'm stuck is how to install a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Any help on this from someone would be appreciated. Not much info for this tablet. On a side note is there any cm ROMs for this tab.
For what it's worth, I was eventually able to root the thing without having to locate a compatible ROM by using a free windows application called MoboGenie .. once the program is installed and loaded on your Windows PC, connect the device via USB, and give it about 5-10 minutes to find and install the driver it needs (MoboGenie did this all automatically, just took a little time). Once it does, it should start populating the screen with details about the connected device. In the Toolbox section (down the left side), there is a "Root" button. Click it and then confirm and it pushes SU onto the device automatically... Takes about 2 minutes. Then you disconnect the device and reboot it... After that, it's persistently rooted! You can even unroot by following the same steps in MoboGenie (if you click on "Root" again and confirm, it simply removes the root from the device - too easy!)
I tried it (just for fun) with a Samsung Note 3, but MoboGenie could not root that device, so clearly its powers are limited; however it works perfectly with the Hipstreet Phoenix, so I'm happy

Oh and to help conserve precious app data space, I found that, after rooting, the Lucky Patcher app does a seamless job of moving app data "to sd card" which basically results in moving the data to the larger partition. You can do this as a batch action in Lucky Patcher, or one by one.
One note though - I foolishly bought a 32GB microSD card to leave in the tablet full time, but the tablet unmounts the damn thing pretty much any time it's put on standby, and you have to deliberately tell it to mount the card every time you want to use it. This means it's hopeless for putting app data onto a microSD card on these tablets... which sucks, but oh well.
Next time, I'm buying a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet... they're by far the best tablets (and phones) on the market, and though they're not cheap, you definitely get what you pay for!

That's why I ended up using Mobogenie -- couldn't find a ROM that worked with it.
On a side note, the first Phoenix tablet I had, after rooting with Mobogenie, I used Android Tuner and applied the Partition Trim function.. it seemed to work until I rebooted the device and it went into an infinite boot loop. Seems the device is REALLY easy to corrupt, and the trim effectively bricked it. I contacted Hipstreet and got them to replace it under warrantee (cost me nothing, too). Just if you DO go that route, don't mention what you did, just tell them it bricked itself.

Ok
1st off I just bought my 1st tablet and it was this one. I instantly fell in love with it thinking I had found some great deal. Then after having it for about a week I started getting the insufficient storage message. I was about to return it when I found this thread. I used mobogenie to root it. THIS WAS SO EASY especially since I'm a noob. I installed lucky patcher from google play store but it didnt give me the option to move to sd card. So I used Link2SD. Which works fine on all the apps I have downloaded but not the apps native to the OS.
So my questions are
How do I get rid of the apps native to the OS? And/or move them to the external SD which the device calls NAND flash.
Even with moving the apps to SD which is the partitioned storage space(NAND Flash) I can only download apps to the limited internal storage before I can then move them using LinkSD. So say I want to download hearthstone which is 707 mb, and too large for the internal storage space. Is there a way to download it to the NAND Falsh section directly?
I also bought a external 64GB sd card cause one of my friends said that would fix the problem. How do I download a large game directly to that with this Tablet?
Am I asking too much of this tablet? Should I just keep it for a bit to get used to tablets then upgrade to a more expensive monster in a few months? Im having so much fun so far messing with it I kind of just it to be my Frankenstein and play with it till it breaks......errr I mean Bricks.
Please help me get my nerd on,
Im officially a enthusiast

I use TitaniumBackup with my rooted device. It makes freezing, detaching from market (so they won't update themelves), and removing system apps really easy.

I have found no ways to re-allocate the app space partition and yeah, large apps are never going to install, but smaller apps seem to work as long as we move to SD immediately after any installs or updates.

You cannot. I did the same thing, but I find you have to MANUALLY mount the SD card every time you want to access it - as soon as you put it to sleep, it unmounts the damn external card. This makes it USELESS for app installs... just data like videos, music, etc... even then, it's a pain.

You're lucky then I contacted support through that lame-ass support app that only sometimes connects to their system, and was told point-blank that there is no way to re-allocate the install space (the 1gb area) to make more basic room.
In the end, I disabled all automatic Play updating for all apps (I check and apply them manually instead, as it eats precious install space.) I use LuckyPatcher for moving all app to SD one installed, and TitaniumBackup to remove unnecessary pre-installed stuff. Bummer is, no big games, ever..
Hello all.
I am having the same issues.
I have a 16GB Phoenix Hipstreet, stuck in a boot loop.
I can't load TWRP or anything else, as I am a novice user..
However, that program MOBOGENIE sounds like what I need, however after searching everywhere, I can't find a trust worthy looking source to download, as many have been de-listed due to not being supported or something anymore.
This sounds like it would fix my problems in a heart beat.
Does any one have access to an installer?
I've tried all I can think of.
Thanks in advance.
