howdy, if i root my note, but keep stock kernal and rom can i move some of my apps to the SDcard? or do i need a diff kernal or rom or something?
You can move apps to the SD without being rooted. If you mean you want to force apps that you normally wouldn't be able to move, then I think Titanium Backup will do that for you. You have to be rooted though.
I've heard of problems arising from forcing apps to the external storage though so I would suggest you tread cautiously

I want to switch back to CM7 from Oxygen. Is it a good idea to move all my apps back to the phone before switching, so they're not all floating around on the SD card after I switch? I'm not going to wipe the SD card.

Installed apps? If you change ROM to a totally different one, full wipe is required, which means all your apps will disappear. If you dont want to install all your apk-s copy them into the .zip. I keep all the apps in a folder on the SD-card to install after ROM- change.
Use Titaium Backup you can find it in the market(free app) but with the Pro version restoring your apps is MUCH easier
I'm not talking about restoring apps after installing a new rom (although I appreciate the help on that too). I just don't want the apps that I've transferred to the SD card to be left there.

I have read somewhere that you can delete all folders from the SD except the ones you have copied (photos, music, etc.)
I started checking out some roms to flash and saw something that caught my attention. No all, but a cpl roms say "wipe data, dalvik,cache, system, sdext". i am running Energy 1/12/12 sense 3.5 rom with anthrax kernel and dt a2sd. If i wipe my sdext wont all my apps be gone? is this step necessary? do i just need to avoid these roms or is there another way to restore my apps? or woould i have to make sure they are backed up in Tibackup then redownload from market and then restore data after flashing new rom?
You should do that procedure with ANY rom. Yes, your apps will be gone, but that's a good thing, means the rom will run smoothly and not have "leftover" bits from old roms. Use Titanium Backup to backup and restore your apps.

You can reinstall those too. Those purchases are linked to your Google account, so when Market signs into your Google account, it will know what apps you've paid for, and you can simply re-download them.

Capt, sorry for being such a noob, but i thought the there were 2 reasons for partitioning your sd card...1. save internal space and 2. save apps so that you could jsut restore them when you flashed different roms. I am trying to learn as much as i can about this stuff.

Actually there is no 2. The reason to partition is to get more internal space and so your able to manage your storage settings to your liking

^^This^^
And, because I am the king of overkill, I also make sure all my apps are on a list in appbrain so I have a handy list to go to if I have any problems with titanium backup or want to do completely fresh installs for any reason.
Yea Titanium will backup both the app AND it's associated data (i.e. game saves). If you buy the pro version (VERY worth it) you can backup and restore all your apps with one click.
But as everyone else said, your paid apps are always remembered from the market, so you can always just re-download them. This won't save your app's data, but it can be done.
You can now also use Google to backup and restore your apps and when u sign in on a fresh install it reinstalls all your apps from the market but its slower than tibu since the download and install instead of just installing from a compressed backup on your SD
Edit: also mybackuproot will backup.and install apps with one click and its free but last time I used it I couldn't find a way to pick and choose apps like in tibu you can run a batch and check off ones you want to reinstall and not have to install em all

I use Titanium Backup.
I believe there is a batch option to Restore Missing Apps, so as long as you backed them up they should be restorable. I restore my apps and data regularly when I am testing things. Just don't restore system apps/data, that generally doesn't end well.

Well, I would guess that either they didn't get backed up, or if they were then the backup file was moved so Titanium can't see it. Either of those possible?

I don't know... Or must I reinstall the apk ? It taking up my whole SD space even though I can't see the games and apps...
Titanium will reinstall the .apk if it was backed up, but if you have moved the apps to the SD card then I don't believe Titanium can back them up properly. I keep all my apps on the internal memory but I know that is not possible with some phones due to low internal memory or if you have a lot of apps. In that case you would need to move them back from the SD to the internal memory, then back them up, then move them back to the SD.
Try reinstalling the apk, maybe it will be able to relink to the SD.

I think it got wipe... But why it still taking up much space ?
If your referring to the 4gb used and 3.4gb free at the bottom of your screen shot that number is the total space used by everything on your sd card not just apps. I'm guessing you have otjerthings on.your sd card ie music,pics,rom,backups so that total refers to everything on your sd card

I would try and install a couple apps manually since you said titanium back up did not work. Reboot and see if they are there if not I would take a look at the thread I linked to in my prior post. If you don't have anything on your sd card like I mentioned and are still missing 4gb of space then you may need to format your sd card. This will erase everything on your card including partitions so back up anything of importance to your pc first.

So am about to get the 4G N7105 to replace my N7100. On the N7100 I have my apps backed up on Titanium to me ext sd card. To save me the hassle of transferring the apps and resetting the phone up with my apps can I simply root the N7105 and transfer the apps only via Titanium?? Thanks.

You can transfer apps to any Android device. You can even transfer apps and their settings for example from HTC HD2 with Android 2.2 to Galaxy Note 10.1 with Android 4.1.1

No I don't want to use Playstore if possible. As the thread said I want to see if I can restore via TiBu and just use the 'restore missing apps with data' option not system settings.
That's what I meant. Good luck with new phone.

Have you checked to see how many NANDROID backups you have made on
your internal sdcard?
If you have made many of them, then that could be why you you get that error.
Each nandroid takes up over 3GB of space on your internal sdcard which is
where these large games store all their data during the instillation process.
The three most space consuming items are nandroid backups, movies and videos.
Good luck!
so where exactly could I find the back ups with a file explorer app?

It's usually in a folder with the same name as your recovery. Example, TWRP or CWM. If you used ROM Manager to handle your backup it's hidden. mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup
