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.

Ok just go ahead and forgive me if this is a noob question or just so obvious that I've overlooked it... Like a lot of you, I like to flash (roms!)...a lot. And of course most of the time this involves a full wipe and reinstall of my apps. So since I have to reinstall everything anyway, what is the big deal about being able to put apps on the SD card? Is there some way they can be installed on the SD card without losing them during a rom change?
If you have a lot of apps, moving to sd will save space in the internal memory. Whenever you flash a new ROM, you will have to reinstall apps each time, no matter where they are stored. IMO, Titanium Backup does a great job restoring apps, and doesn't really take that long to do.
Thanks trickster...so you're referring to the internal memory vs internal storage correct? So the apps use the internal memory like the RAM on a PC but if they're on the SD card, they use the SD card space instead? Does this add a perfomance boost as well conceivably?
The apps use internal memory no matter where they are stored. It's the storage space that is saved internal vs SD card. Some apps, however, require that they are on internal storage to work more efficiently.

Just got my GS2 today and I must say this is the easiest phone I have rooted to date! I have been working my way around the OS and found that apps are not seeing my files on my External SD Card. Is there a way to sort of sync these? I guess I dont mean sync, but have apps search both internal and external storage for files? Take beautiful widgets, I have a ton of images on the ex sd card. When I launch the app to apply one of those images it looks in phone storage and gives no option to search the ex sd card.
Thanks

easiest thing would to move everything to the internal sd card. i dont like how the phone sees SD card (internal) then from there i have to navigate to the folder called 'external sd' to look at my microSD files.

Exactly, but what good is it to have an external card if the apps dont use it? If I have to move everything to the internal card, what can I put on the external card and be able to use/access? None of my apps recognize the external card, lol.
i use my external sdcard for music & movie business and use the internal for everything else. i sync back & forth between pc & cell a lot so having a CLEAN (aka, none of those extra android folders) sdcard makes browsing and syncing much easier, cleaner, and organized. also, without that android bloat i can tell exactly how much goodies i have just by looking at the size of external sdcard
ps: external sdcard is more or less just a subdir on the internal sdcard.... its /sdcard/external_sd if i remember correctly.
i just slap my movie files onto thte internal sd since i delete them afterwards... didnt realize 16 gb is a lot of space lol
I removed some movies from the internal memory but when i go to storage, the available free space is the same as when the movies where there. I held the movie file down and selected delete when the pop up menu came up.
Any suggestions to clear the inetrnal memory or do i need to format the usb storage which will delete everything from internal memory?
Thanks,

all these random folders show up on my sdcard. guessing, it comes from the apps that i install. but how do i make more organized??
Remove the apps that are cluttering the SD card, there's no other way of getting more space really. Not all apps delete the associated SD card content, so you may have to manually remove some
yo i just delete everything off it (backup first)then restore what files i need then i end up with like a extra 3gb or sum ****
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?
