I've been using Titanium Backup to back up and restore all apps and data. I know we have not got root on lg v30. Any way i can restore my Titantium backup to v30? or any other ways? Thanks.
What I do is copy the Android Data folder from old phone to new phone and install the apps, they work fine, I don't use any backup app like TB to do that, also my apps are synced with my Google account so don't have to search for them, they appear under my Play Store account and makes it easier to install one by one.

The actual "Data" folder or just one that contains the data? Looking at my old Motorola phone, the internal "SDcard" folder has all the app data, it looks like. (It's called SD card, but it's really the internal user app memory. The phone had no external SD card capability.)

You can just copy the "Android" folder, it usually has "Data" "OBB" and "media" folders in it along with some cache files.

my 32gb sd card will be here today. I need to put all of my music (in google music), all my contacts, all my apps, and any other data that can be transferred. I want this because on my last android phone i never used my SD card and now i wish i had a backup. Thanks!
As far as the music goes just use a file manager to transfer the files. my personal favorite is root explorer.
And for the contacts and apps it would probably just be easy to sync them to your gmail. then when you get a new android it will download all the apps you had and add to your contacts list.
Would be nice if there was a simple. Way anyone...
Simpler How? doesnt get much simpler than clicking sync to google
was your last phone rooted? If so, did you use Titanium backup...if so back up all user apps with tibu and put your backups on your ext sd. IF your NOte is rooted...put in ext sd from old phone and restore ONLY user apps with tibu. back up and restore contacts using google.
If you were NOT rooted on old phone and NOT on the Note...it will be harder. BUT when you go to market with new phone it will have all your PAID apps in "my apps" and you can d/l again. What i did when i wasn't rooted was write down all my apps so you don't forget what apps you have that aren't PAID. and re d/l/ it honestly has been sooooooooooooo long since i have had an unrooted phone that is the best i can do. I am getting my Note on Monday and until i root it so that i can bing , bang , boom with tibu and restore i am not going to mess with it.
I guess what i am saying is ...someone who wasn't and isn't rooted may be able to help cause it has been forever for me with an unrooted phone.
YOu can xfer files onto your ext sd but ROOT exp requires root..so....you can try the stock file mgr.

How do you force applications to install to the greater 10GB of internal memory & not the measly 2Gb?

Hi guys,
I'd like to restore my apps and data from my current EVO using Titanium Backup (and probably MyBackup for text messages).
I'd like to clean up the card after I have restored what I want. The card has accumulated so much junk that I want to start fresh.
Do you guys have a best practice for doing this? I haven't seen a question/answer that specifically addresses this.
Thanks!
(I promise to make funnies in the future. )
Do you mean you want to get rid of all the backups that you have made with TB? If so just delete the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard.

I want to clean the card completely after I backup all the obvious things like pictures and videos. I want to wipe the entire card clean or remove everything that is just garbage. I'm not sure where TB stores the app data.
I can't help you and I expect you to get a satisfactory answer.
once you remove your card from your old evo. delete everything that you dont want. might want to keep Music and DCIM and the TitaniumBackup folder. everything else should be deleted. then restore.
the only excepting that is keeping any external downloads like Gameloft. besides the Evo LTE uses its own internal SD card first before ours, so most of the folders you have will not be used
after you back up your data from the card. Put it in your Evo 4g lte, settings, Storage..unmount the card..then the earse card will be highlighted..select..done
What's the difference? Ever since coming to the rezound everything has been saving to mnt/sd and all of my old stuff is on mnt/sd/ext_sd. therefore my apps can't restore backups. This is super annoying. What can I do to remedy this problem? Thank you.
Sd is the internal and sd_ext is the external card.
Move from internal to external and set your apps to use external.
Setting apps to use external only works if the app itself allows it, correct?

That is correct
Yeah I've been having this problem too. Even though I copied my backups from the external to internal storage, the apps don't see the backup files. I even changed the location for the some of the apps to look at for the backup files for restoring and it still says no restore files found.
I was trying to root my HTC One V and i unlocked the bootlocker,however that resulted in factory reset of my phone.Whenever i installed an app on my phone i always moved it to sd card via settings-->apps.I assumed that once my phone restarts after factory reset it will read the apps in the sd card but it is not so.The phone does read songs,pictures and contacts stored on my sd card and the sd card does have the folder of each app but how do i install it from the sd card?

The stock android move-app-to-sd does not move all app data to the sd card and some data is left on the device on purpose.
I might be wrong (since I never researched this) but I think you cannot restore those apps.

Okay
But is it possible that if i install the same app again,it reads the application settings from the sd card?Like if i download and install a game,is it possible for the game to read my score from it's folder in the sd card?
If the app is storing this kind of information (settings etc.) on the sd-card as a separate file then I would say that it is very likely that it will be able to read that data.
But not all apps store that kind of information on the sd-card (security reasons etc.).
I am not sure what happens to the parts of the app itself that are still on the sd-card though (I am talking about the app itself). I guess that the app will not care about those if it is stored in the internal storage. Moving the app to the sd card will probably overwrite the data on the sd-card. If the app stores the settings etc. in one of its own files then it might be overwritten as well.
You might want to make a backup of those files, even if you can't use the information in the end. But if they are gone they are gone.
Some really crazy idea would be to download the app, move it to the sd-card and then overwrite the files on the sd with the ones from the backup.
If android has no verification or security methods for this and there was no update to the app there might be a small change that this will work.
But I guess that the chances to get all your settings and user data back are still very slim as those are possibly not stored there.
But if you have the backup and some xda user swings by with a good idea (or more knowledge that me) you can still try that.
My wife's Moto E has about 650mb of free space on the internal storage at the moment. I've moved as much as I can to the SD card and the rest is uninstallable. When I click to update to 5.1, her Moto E says it needs about at least 850mb to download and install the upgrade. She doesn't want me to "play" with her phone, and it is not rooted. Any options?
best option!

backup apks using ES explorer to SD card (by copying backups folder).
backup contacts to email account (as well as a local vcf file)
backup entire Whatsapp folder (while restoring, Install apk, copy the old folder back and tehn set up whatsapp)
there are apps to backup texts as well.
Remove SD card.
Reset + Download OTA and install (automatically)
Install apks and restore contacts..
No need to root as well
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I'd suggest you uninstall updates of all Google apps and try installing them after you've installed the ota.
