[Q] Deleting old app data

Hi there.
I've used two RUU in the last year on my DHD. After a phone restart, I go straight to the Marketplace to redownload the apps I had before using the RUU.
Some of the apps don't automatically download, and I can't remember them all so there's probably some old applications and associated data on there.
The SD card is getting full so I was wondering if there was an app out there I could use to remove all app data except that of apps which are currently installed.
I'm running a stock DHD on the latest 2.3.5 ROM with Sense 3.0.
Thanks for your help!

Easiest way I find personally...
Back up your contact list, photos, music, ring tones and the settings files on the main programs you can remember - Even better, use the HTC program
Format the card.
Plug it into the phone and let it load it's file system and then make a back up of that on your PC for future use. Just remember to back up your new contacts, photos etc...

Go to recovery or 4ext / CWM and delete Dalvik
EDIT: Later you can delete them one by one those which you don't use

I think SD maid can do that... I've heard it works pretty good.

On SD card there is directory called \Android\. There are apps data.

Best and safest way.

I got a question about filesystem on SD card.
If you format it ext4 - how is it speed-wise? Actually what are main advantages?
And can windows7 then normally recognize "disk drive"?

I'm not this is achievable on a stock ROM, but maybe you can download the apk from your computer, use the usb cable to copy the apk onto your phone and run the apk from your phone. That should install the application, and allow you to backup your messages.

If you have a stock ROM, there MUST be at least one application that allows browsing of your SD Card. You're sure you're not running some carrier-brewed OS right?

If you setup you're google account on the other phone and go to the play store you can download it again
Edit : sorry didn't read correctly.
Try to transfer all data from the games from sd card to the same folders on the other phone ?
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X

Which folders exactly? Haven't seen the 1.8gb folder for batman thing. Heh.
Is it saved in system\app? Or is that just the apk?

I would use Titanium Backup
Hi,
To backup any app + data, I use Titanium Backup. You will need root access, see this post where you can find links to several guides on how to root but much more useful information (I strongly recommend that you use the htcdev.com method to root your phone)
Titanium Backup is available on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup (desktop) / market://details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup (Android)
Once Titanium Backup is installed, follow this process:
Keep the default settings.
Click on Backup/Restore button
Select the app to backup
Click on Backup
Repeat the same process for each of your apps to backup
Files are stored by default in /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup
So once your backup are completed, plug your phone to the USB Cable and your PC
Select "Mount as a disk drive" on your phone
On your PC, go to TitaniumBackup folder on your new mounted drive (Phone's SD Card), copy all the files to your PC
Unplug your phone.
Install Titanium Backup on your other phone
Plug it to your PC and mount your SDCard
From your PC, move the files you copied previously to the TitaniumBackup folder on your SDCard (if this folder does not exist, create it)
Unplug your phone
On this phone, go to TitaniumBackup
Click on the batch icon (Tick Icon in top right of the screen)
Scroll down and select "Restore missing apps with data"
Select / Deselect all the apps you want to restore (you should find all your backups from the 1st phone you've just copied)
Click on the tick in the top right of the screen to trigger the restore
That's it...
You can do some much with Titanium Backup that it is worth rooting your phone just for this app. There is a Pro version that costs $6.95 (AUD) This is one a the very few apps over $3 I paid for and don't regret it at all. More info on Titanium Backup available here which includes a very good wiki.
I am in no way affiliated with this product/this company or the developer of this app but I strongly believe this is one of the best app on the Android Market.
I would also avoid any method involving to copy manually the system or data folders, not likely to work on different devices.

Thanks for that. I do have tb and the downloaded extra resources are never included there.
It's found on one of these directories and you can manually copy:
/sdcard/android/data/com.nameofapp
And
/sdcard/android/obb/com.nameofapp
Just found these earlier and it does work well.

[Q] How do I return back to stock?

[HTC Desire 816 LTE A5_UL S-ON]
Yeah, I know, there's lots of info on this subject, but I seem to have tried everything and a little desperate right now.
So here's the story. I made a rocky mistake installing Cyanogenmod on my 816. It's working fine and all, but I decided I want Sense back. My SD card got a little broken, so the recovery image that was on there is gone. So I started reading. The first problem was that HTC Sync Manager was not recognizing my device, apparently it only does when the phone is running Sense on it, so I can't use the hard reset from there. Also HBOOT's factory reset just returns me back to clean Cyanogenmod.
I've tried getting S-OFF to install 816 RUU from the forums here, but I've had no luck since the tools (firewater, rumrunner) are failing on me.
Is there any hope for me?

Best thing you can do is clear all internal storage space and download an Nandroid Backup. Since the clockworkmod backup is on the root of the phone you'll need to make a folder with the same name and manually transfer each file from the Nandroid on internal storage to the root of the phone where the ClockworkMod backup folder is located since this phone only has 8GB and any ROM automatically reserves 4GB. Even stock. Reason being to transfer each file one by one is because using a file manager such as ES file explorer; you'll notice it says it has 3.xxGB free when the backup is 1.9xGB. Using Cut and paste won't work either since the device copies before deleting it from the current location e.g. Internal Storage. I had the exact same problem and this worked for me. Let me know if you want a more detailed explanation.
