Hi, I've downloaded MIUI 8.1.3.0, the latest version released, but I'm getting a problem: 'misc' is taking too much memory space, but I've deleted all de folders and files from the internal storage. Could someone help me?

It's always like that on MIUI. You have to examine those files manually. Yo can also try app called SD Maid which did a great job on my phone before, deleted unused files far more thoroughly than MIUI's own cleaner.

SD maid didn't work :\
It never happened before I update to 8.1.3.0
Do you know something else?

I'm not sure, but because you're updating, then got this problem, maybe you should suspect old MIUI files from previous rom being the culprit. For example "MIUI" folder on internal storage. However, you might lost some things when you delete this. Themes for example.
But I'm not too sure, so please be careful and look for other possibilities too before do it.

Hello!
I am a newbie to Android just migrated from a Symbian. I own a Samsung Ace, and also plan buying an Xperia Play.
When installing an application in symbian the phone asks if we want to save it in the memory card or the internal memory. How do we do this in Android phones and specifically (if it is different for every phone) in Ace and Play?
For example I installed talking tom cat 2 in Ace, the moment I opened it asked my permission to install another package, only once that was installed I was able to use the application. Then after sometime I uninstalled the app. using task manager. But the question is how do I get rid of the extra package and where has it been installed any ways.
There is no place where this information is available for a newbie.
Android at first seems a little confusing.
Also what is this ROM thing, tried to search it but didn't find anything?
Please reply soon.
Thanks.
Everything, go to settings>applications>manage applications. This should be uniform across android devices.
Normally downloaded data goes to sdcard/Android/data. Check in dis directory.

Like mentioned in the prev post it might either be in /sdcard/android/data or in the appropriate folder names under /sdcard
In your case, i think a folder named "talking tom" might be created under /sdcard
Your mishandled/broken files would be in /sdcard/LOST.DIR

If the app is installed in SD card then for sure it wont work when u remove the SD card.
When you uninstall an app the folders and files particular to that app in /system/data would get removed automatically and the files n folders on those in SD card needs to be removed manually.
Correct me if im wrong, Thanks.
PS: Im not in for any argument and happy to correct myself

ur actually correct. any leftover on sdcard wont be remove by default when uninstalling particular app that created them. eg many games will download its data when running it for the first time, and that data will be placed on sdcard. furthermore that data wouldnt be deleted when we uninstall that particular game that creating it, it need to be removed/deleted manually. i think same goes in op case, that "talking tom" app download its data when on first run and put it in sdcard.
Okay, I see the logic now. OP mentioned installing an additional package and that's probably not an app but just data, am I correct? Sorry for getting too heated up

You mean normally the applications we install like facebook, twitter, talking tom cat 2, angry birds etc. etc. go directly to the SD-Card ?????
I thought, in Androids, it goes to the internal memory.
Because a friend of mine said that the only reason people still opt for iphones instead of android is this; that you can't enjoy the use of an SD-Card.

Okay.
But my question is : Can I somehow install the application (like tom cat) directly in the Sd-Card in the first place. I am not worried about removing my card, because I have a 32 gb one.

Hello!
Thanks for the reply.
But I don't think this is the ROM they are talking about on this website. The one you mentioned is Hardware. What they are discussing seems to be some type of software.
It's called read-only memory. It's like your xp in your computer, or windows 7, or Linux.
Edit: some applications cannot be installed into the sd card but with darktremor a2sd script it can make most apps migrate a portion of its space to the ext partition of the sd card. Do a search on google about a2sd. Also, installed data normally goes to /data/app which is internal storage. Certain apps may move their data to the .asec folder in the sd.
Hello everyone,
I've (CF) rooted my S3 only to move app data to my extSD card. The official stock firmware (JB 4.1.1) is still on it, and i would like to keep it that way (serves me good). I've tried directory bind and Link2SD.
Both of the apps don't work (or i'm to much of a noob to get it going)!
Directory bind just moves files from one location, but when i start the app, it gives me a error (in this case, tomtom).
Also the alternative management options in this app, dont give me tools to "bind".
Link2SD makes links (on the second partition of the ext.sd) but doesn't want to move the app data to the first partition of the ext.sd The error is "insufficient storage space", but there is over 27gb of (fat32) free space. The second extsd partition is 2gb of ext4.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the official stock FW just not up to the task?
Greetings, RedKingCrab
apps to ext sd
Ho Bro,
i have the same problem, but as i know this is some new bull**** in the System or maybe just on Samsung devices.
The only app wich is more ore less useful is the "GL to SD"..

It seems that some versions are not well supported yet. Maybe in a couple of monts it will. I'll try again later on, including GL to SD.
So i've unrooted my S3 allready, because rooting it gave me troubles installing manual apps!
If I manualy wanted to install a apk file, i got an error (not enough memory )

Did you manage to figure this out?
Were you creating both partitions as primary?
What app did you wind up using: Link2SD or GLtoSD?

Sorry bro, didn't get it to work on stock fw.
Because of time issues i haven't been able to figure this problem out. I've unrooted the phone and flashed back with original stock.
Maybe its the way you created your partitions.

So just picked up my Note 2 this afternoon and already rooted and unlocked it thanks to the incredibly helpful tutorials on the development forum...
So I installed the SD card I had been using from my Xperia Play, after doing one last final TB, and am a little surprised to see that none of my backups are showing up in TB. I can see all the current apps installed, it's pointing to the right directory, yet nothing from my XP is showing as an available backup to restore. Is it just a compatibility issue between phones?
I'd like to restore some game data and some kik convo's... but if I can't I can't!
Thanks in advance!
Get TB to search the entire phone for the backup directory.

it could very well be that the OP thinks "sdcard0" is the microsd.
had the same issue and thought the same thing. Had the my microSD in my droid X and i just simply put it in my note 2 without formating so when i installed TiB the app ofcourse didnt detect the back up location i had for the DX so it created on in the sdcard0 file.
heres what i did hope it helps
go into Titanium Backup
click your menu button
select preferences
scroll to Backup Location folder
click your back button on the phone and stop at the /storage folder
there you will see "extSdCard" and "sdcard0" under it.
select ExtSdCard and HOPEFULLY you'll find your Titanium backup folder

I just had this issue after flashing a Rom. I had the correct backup location set and could see the backups in the folder, but under Restore they didn't show. Finally, figured out that there was a filter on by default and it was screening out all but System backups. I've never seen a filter affect this area before, only ever used it to filter under the Backup/Restore tab, not under the Check Mark list of options. When I changed the filter to ALL, then the backups magically appeared.
Hope this helps someone else, since this thread kind of went off track.

Best is to clear TB's cache from app manager and reopen to change the backup folder search to whole device.
TB recognized all the missing apps and i was able to restore after that.

Holy moses- yes this thread got off track, but i'm glad i kept scrolling and found your reply-
I had just gotten a new galaxy s6, rooted it, and though the tibu folder was absolutely full with all my old backups from the old phone, none appeared. It turned out to be a 'filter' issue, and just clicking the green "check" in the upper right corner, and all reappeared.
thanks- i was messing with this for hours before i found your reply
a simple rename did the trick
I just had an odd experience recently (as in yesterday) and this thread didn't help. however, I found something new that might help other ppl.
A brief background, I took a backup from my first S5 (now being utilized by my wife) then copied the files from the phone memory to the SD card. After setting up my second S5 (flashed then root process) copied the backup files from SD card to the phohe memory. But when I ran TB it can't find/detect the files, so meaning I wasn't able to restore anything. What's odd is I didn't experience this when I first setup my wife's S5, all went very smooth.
After many hours of digging I finally found a solution (in my case, at least). All I did was to rename all the backup files with extensions .gz.zip to .gz and wallah!
Hope this helps.

OMG Thanks so much this has been confusing me for days....
The difference with us as far as I can tell is that at some stage we used windows to copy our old backups to the new phone/SDcard...
And I assume the stupid MTP protocol is 'smart' and does some file conversion, in this case, adding .zip to the .gz files...
Anyway I wasn't about to rename 100 files, so I used 7zip to make one big .tar file from my original SDcard and copied that to the new Phone via windows and then used a phone app to decompress to my TIB backup folder...
Another NOTE: I copied them to /storage/external_SD/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/ to avoid any other permissions issues... (I am on Lolipop)

Any clues on how to get FolderMount app to work from a Rom / slot ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...evasque.fmount
It seems the source path is wrong as compared to running it from the stock ROM where it finds the given folders/apps.
the source path shows: /storage/emulated/0
Normally this would populate with the given apps/folders desired to select but not working (as in listing anything) when trying from a ROM/slot and I have no clue what the path structure is via booted in a ROM slot in safestrap.

Yea me to, lol, and I've been having a hard time figuring out where to best report/post about this issue to get a response or possible solution. I brought it up once in the "Safestrap" thread in [General] but got no replies. Then later on in that thread, another user was mentioning the use of FolderMount as his solution to free up internal card memory to another Safestrap user so I replied to that posing my question again, however, got no response as to the answer. I know it's a source (path) issue but can't figure it out when booted into a ROM slot.
Thanks for replying though because I myself was starting to think I was losing my mind. :cyclops:

Any progress on this?
Is this a safestrap issue or is it a hyperdrive issue with the way HD structures the file system?
Does FM app just need to include/make available the option to choose /sdcard0 rather than emulated? The option to choose your own path in FM does not show this branch?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 Android version 4.3.
I had 200+ pictures in my internal storage DCIM folder. I didn't update the firmware or anything and all of a sudden all my Camera files are gone.
The files gone are the ones taken with my phone camera, other subdirectories inside the DCIM folder are perfect.
Anyone knows why this could happen and how to recover the files?

Than I can not help you sorry.
But if you get root acces go to data/media and check if your photos there if yes than move it from data/media to sdcard. Thats all i can do for you now sorry
I've had this happen twice. Seemed like it would do it after connecting it to my PC, and then poof, all internal pics gone. Very annoying, I did try to recover them and no luck. My guess is it had something to do with the version of the Samsung Kies at that time, it has not happened again but now I make sure my stuff is always uploaded to cloud storage.

Also, I noticed that although the pictures got deleted, space hasn't been freed (I have the same free space as before when the pictures were there).
Which makes me think maybe the pictures didn't disappear...
