I'm switching from a Motorola Atrix to the Play and I'm wondering if I can transfer the backups over without problems?
I'm aware of certain apps like Tegra2 games wont work, but that's no problem.
I think you should be able to; you can either copy the TB folder onto the Play's SD card and restore, or you can swap SD cards, restore, and then swap back.

I need to make room on my internal and even on my external sd card, i have made backups using titanium backup... all i need to know is what folder contains those backups and what folders have my saved games including glu, gameloft, etc
The game data on your SD is only thongs like textures music etc. Delete all of that, it will are download when you load the game again. The folder wothbyour titanium backups should be labeled titanium backup.
Is there any way to make your SD card as a default storage for everything? I did it with my pictures and stuff, but apps keep installing straight to the phone.

You can't install everything on SD Card. Even when you move applications to SD, they will only transfer partially. Why do you want to move it all to SD ? You should have about 2 GB almost entirely dedicated for your apps.
I'm thinking of upgrading
my current phone is a bravo with most of the apps and music on my 16gb external card. So If I restore or backup my phone the music etc large files don't have to get backed up/restored since they are on the external card. I prefer this setup
1. What do CWM backups look on this considering that most of the memory (32gb) is internal? If I put 13gb of music on my phone would CWM backup my music every time since it backs up everything on the internal memory?
2. What is the maximum external sd (since it doesn't take sd hc) card file size?
3. Could you switch to something other than 4g to conserve battery? How simple is this with stock rom rooted.

1. If you put your music on an external sd then CWM would not backup your music just as you are doing now but if you put the music on the internal memory then it most likely would. I would recommend using Titanium Backup also, it is the best app for backing up apps and settings etc.
2. I have a 32 GB external microsd hc card in the phone along with the 32 GB of internal storage. Not sure why you say it doesn't take sdhc?
Largest officially supported card is 32 GB (from samsung website).
3. There are apps in the Market that have 4G/3G/2G toggles. I couldn't say if they are compatible with this particular phone but they exist so it should be fine.
Nandroid backup does not back up the sd card (I.e. pictures mp3s etc). My nandroid are about 2.5gb.
You can use a 64gb card.
Titanium backup is great but not a replacement for nandroid. Both should be used for full backup solution.
I needed to do factory settings, steps before that i rooted my phone and i was able to put through some applications to SD card (for example FIFA 12, etc.). Obviously when i did the reset, the applications and root has disappeared, my SD card was out of the phone during this project to make sure that it will not be removed. When i turn on the phone and put SD card in the phone, it shows the same amount of free space as before but I dont know how to restore my FIFA and other applications back.
Do i need to do root and installl the same application i was moving data to SD card?
I bought this phone from other guy and FIFA was bought on his gmail account, i did account.db change and backup and signed in with my gmail and everything worked and i tricked the system. Now i am little bit worried to lose programs and i had on my phone.
Thanks for your help
Your saved game states are gone. They are saved in the internal memory not the sd card.

Depends on the game. Older games save their savestates on the SD card. Newer ones save it on the /data partition.
Use Titanium Backup for backing up.
i dont care about saves
MC3 game this is what i was able to save, only 4mb were needed to download.
i am more worried of other applications on my SD
is this something what can help me?

i can see data on my SD card in Androi/data
my phone is rooted, is there any way to visualize the root on the PC?
i have Total Commander on my phone but i am unable through it functions to create new folder and move those data to Data/data as mentioned on the link.
Today, my 32GB SD card on my phone died today... so that means I have lost everything I had.. all my apps, backups, songs, saves on emulators, etc..
The SD card had to be broken and thrown in the trash, as it was not format-capable and was reading Blank SD Card constantly and my PC would not read it.
My only question now is, and it's a stretch but, ...if I get a new SD card, will I be able to SAVE ANY of what is on my phone now without an SD? My phone at current still shows icons from my SD card but tapping them leaves the App Not Installed, message.
Is it possible there's anything backed up the phone to actually TRANSFER sometime of the stuff on a new SD?

im sad to say that if the application was moved to the sd card it's near impossible to recover that specially if the sd card has been trown away, what you see are the icon traces which are saved in the system however the actual apk and other components on saved on the sd card can not be restored.
As far as I know, you guys are correct, the only way to find it would be in the /android-secure folder on the sd card.
my phone is runnign sluggish,. its due a hard reset, i have a lot of apps stored on thesd card, but i seem to recall last time i hard reset the phone i had to reinstall the apps from the play store...
is this required? or can i just copy the app shortcut back from the sd card to the phone?
if i do need to reinstall then i move the data over to the sd card again am i not just doubling up files on the sd card?
its stock rom, so i cant use all those titanium backup apps and stuff as far as i know..
please advise
