Issue with Titanium Backup - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I've set the Backup directory to storage/extSdCard/Titanium Backup, but then I noticed that External storage is set to /storage/sdcard0/, so what's the deal with that? :S

That's a feature of jellybean and because of the partitioned internal. Do not worry. As long though as you point it to your 64gb external card as you have done you are OK.

Thanks for the reply mariosraptor....no wonder why the Move to SD feature in the pro version doesn't really work. I tried moving an app it moves it and I see the memory card icon then when I go back it just disappears and is not listed as an app stored in the ext sd.

Yep cause the apps actually are already in the sd. It's about the partions.

Yeah I know...I just thought to try the move apps to external SD card..but then it's useless.
Guess the only way is Directory bind, but then for some reason I can't find the directories for all my apps? Aren't they supposed to be in /Android/Data? I looked in there and only a few apps are there not all of them. What is the path for the apps?

I do not use directore bind. I use a more convenient solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796
You already hace root. You need a kernel with init.d support.
I have been using this since my S3.
With this I have about 9gigs to install apps in the "real" internal card. All others like game data, and photos and stuff are in my 64gb extcard which now is internal.
Just read the thread by Mattia.

I have tried it and it worked but it caused me more confusion than make things easier and had trouble with the camera and gallery so I removed it. What I hated most about this mod is the reversed partitions when copying things from the pc via MTP
I may give it another try and see how it goes..

I have no problem in camera nor anywhere else.
The first time though after flash that you will open camera and it says it detected a memory card just say NO when it ask if you want to store them there.
Also in browser set phone as where to store downloaded data so you don't end up with this or that file is corrupted.
Hope this help

No, Android/Data will contains only such application which requires to download/store some external data.
All application data stores in hidden data folder, titanium backup is actually backup applications in that folder.
Directory bind useful which have big data like gameloft/navigation map. rest of data is very small and can be created again once you hard reset.

Right...thanks for clearing that up dr.ketan...I just thought if its possible to bind apps that are above 70MB coz I have several ones of those that I would like to move to the external sd.

Low Space warning on ICS

If you add all that together I should have plenty of space not 168MB free.
Have you rebooted? Do you have any "corpses" (left over game data, etc) in your internal storage? Try running this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013063 to see if helps remove anything which is taking up space (and doesn't show up in the storage menu) which you don't know about.
Can't even download it says my tablet doesn't have sufficient space to download it from the play store.

You could move something(s) to your external sd card (temporarily), download and install the app, then move it/them back.

Shadowgun's data is located in Android/data/. Apps on the other hand are located in /data/app/ and /system/app/ (leave those where they are). Judging by the free space on your external sd card, Shadowgun's data will not fit. You'll probably have to move some things to your pc (or use a different sd card).

It seems like you're going to have to do a factory reset. I would also recommend flashing this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589034 since it will give you a bit more internal storage.
Hmm I think I will just wait until the official ICS update, and flash that. Maybe that will fix my problem. Anyways thanks for the help.
I just reset the tablet, and it fixed my problem. Restored everything with Titanium Backup and everything is working well.
/data/gps
Had the same problem, also waited for an update to solve it, but nothing changed. I checked the system directories, which are on the same partition but you have no right to look into them without root (pretty dumb if you ask me). I found a dir /data/gps filled with some useless txt files. Then after deleting them with Ghost Commander nearly 2 GB of free space reappeared.
Sorry it took me so long, not checking xda regularly lately.

Oh My God, I had over 10GB of files in this folder. Went from a little over 100MB free to 10.63GB. I assume this is GPS cache, but it really needs to be capped so that the older stuff gets deleted.

Directory Bind is Driving me nuts !!!

So, i'm trying to bind FIFA 12....the source folder for FIFA 12 on the internal SD card is in /Android/Data/com.ea.game.fifa12_na so I went to the External SD Card at
storage/extSdCard/ and created the folder /Android/Data/com.ea.game.fifa12_na
I entered the paths in the source and target fields then ticked on transfer files from target to data then clicked on Add and it started copying the files until finished successfully.
I went back to check the source files if they are actually moved but they are still there...the fifa folder in the local storage is there with all it's files and is reading 1.5GB although it has been transferred to the External SD Card..why hasn't the files been deleted as it mentioned?
Also there is something very weird, if I manually delete the com.ea.game.fifa12_na from the local storage it gets deleted from External SD card as well..This even happens if the item is unbinded ! This is really driving me nuts..why does it get deleted from the external sd although I haven't touched it?
I don't know if i'm clear with my problem but I hope someone understands what I'm saying..
Thanks in advance.
Btw...I do know that directory bind has to keep the original source folder but not with all the files in it as in my case !!!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
I had a similar problem with DirectoryBind. The error I made was using the wrong path for the original files. I used /storage/sdcard0/Android/... when instead I should have used /sdcard/Android/...
This may not help you but maybe it is worth a try? Worked like a charm after this for me.
Thanks for the reply mrruin..ill give that a try now and report back.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, i'm trying with the path sdcard/Android....it's copying files now, hope the files disappear from the internal storage after that !!
YES !!!!!!!!!! Finally the path of the original files is reporting 0kb....now i'll try running it from the memory card
Ok this is weird...WTF??!! After running the game and closing it...I went back to the original path and the files are back and the path reports 1.5GB again...wtf is that???
That's it...I give up on Directory bind...tried everything possible nothing seems to be working right...original feels still keep getting back after being transferred to the external SD..this is driving me nuts..could be a problem with the rom or something....sigh
I think that if the directory bind is on then the internal memory will still show the files even though there are in the external card. Click unbind and then check the internal memory. However if directory bind is on and files still showing, it will show the correct free space when you check storage in settings.

This is way how director bind works!
Nothing wrong, just unbind, you will see there is no files on sdcard.
It will just show files but still your space won't be counted. Njoy!

[Guide][How To] Fix Sdcard / Find backups after cm10.1 Flash!

We all had that problem, we can't find our backups after flashing Cm 10.1. IT IS FIXABLE! So why would you factory reset through Odin? Here is how to fix it.
Step One: Make sure you are on a ROM with the play store. (When I flashed CM10.1, I had CM10 still on my sdcard with the Gapps, so I flashed that.)
I use ES file explorer, but you use what you want. Be sure to rename any important folders just in case so the files don't over lap.
********************************
If you play games.. BACKUP YOUR DATA! THIS PROCESS DELETES GAME AND APP DATA! I AM SORRY! USE BACKUP PRO OR TITANIUM BACKUP IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
*********************************
Step Two: Go into your 0 folder and highlight everything in there except Android. Shown here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step Three: Hold down on a folder and select "Move to"
Step Four: it will bring up a box, go up till you get to the parent folder, shown here, and select SDcard (Internal SD!).
Step Five: After Selecting the internal SD Card, hit "ok" and it will move everything up to your parent folder where the "0" is. You can delete the "0" Folder (Make Sure there is nothing left in there that you need!), reboot into recovery, and get your backups back!
-----------------------------------------
Hope that saves someone from doing a factory reset with Odin! Any questions just ask!

Won't this just be a problem later when you go to download more stuff. The phone will continue to store files in the "0" folder and not the internal SD card or will it reroute all files to that folder from that point on?

Only issue that I encountered was I lost a bunch of my pictures in the transfer, When I selected internal SD to move them to, a box popped up saying if I wanted to override something and I clicked yes...I wonder if that was the issue. Also I lost all of the files that I downloaded to the internal such as new roms.

Why is my phone suddenly telling me I'm low on free space this morning? It just updated CWM Recovery using ROM Manager then went to bed and when I woke up, turned my phone back on and all of my free space is gone into some other universe not classified by my phone.
My phone doesn't react any different, its not sluggish or glitchy, but I can't install any apps now. Any suggestions?
Looks like you are on a 4.2+ based rom. Might want to check if you have nested /0 folders. Or a quick wipe with Odin should reset it

The "0" folders are legacy and storage duplicate files that are created when installing AOSP roms or their variant builds. .
Unless you run the CM revert .zip...or manually move the "0" folder contents back to internal storage. ..they will collect and diminish your internal storage down to nothing over time. ..g

I've taken to just formatting my internal storage every time I flash or restore now a days, to eliminate all this "crap" from eating up space on internal storage; when I do that, I have around 9 gigs of free space, even after setting up/restoring a rom...I lose anything that was on internal storage, but, I keep all movies/music/photos on my external card anyways, so I dont ever really "lose" anything I care about...and, things like nova backups, or anything else like that, can be stored somewhere on your external card at all times, and just get moved back to internal after you flash/restore a rom with a tool like root explorer...
That freed up a lot thanks but it still seems I have duplicate stuff in a few places it seems like, for instance the emulated, 0, and legacy folders

With all the different bases for the roms, unless you get used to backing up app data then formatting /data and /system between flashes, you eventually end up with a buttload of crap.

yeah, and it only adds a few minutes to your restore time, and you get all that free space again...I used to just let it build up, and then try to delelte what I thought was safe, but if you just format your internal space when flashing, EVERY bit of junk is gone..
I would but Nothing ever gets saved to my ad card now, whenever that changed screwed things up

recovering deleted pictures from internal sdcard

hello , is there anyway to recover deleted pictures from internal sdcad after formating system ??? , i tried many apps through google but all failed ,
i desperately need these pictures cuz they contain credit card informations which i must have
You are going to have to put your SD card into the computer and use a recovery program. SD cards don't have a "trash" so you will need to find software to recover it. IMPORTANT!! DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! the more reads and writes to your card, the more likely that the files you are looking for will be purged off. The reason I know its possible is because I just had to do this about 6 months ago. Good luck

internal SD.....not external SD ! zo thats a nice idea but not going to work as its not removable.
as long as you can't mount the internal SD as an USB disk its a no go to run recovery software as 99% of those type of software needs a USB disk to run and NOT MTP type of storage.
I think I saw a hack around XDA that allowed you to mount the memory, or extract the contents, to be able to recover (possibly) data. But it seemed like a lot of hoops to jump through. Plus, data recovery programs will often be only partially successful, under the best of circumstances.
Consider it a lesson learned, and backup your photos next time. With a variety of easy cloud options, there is really no reason not to.

do you have a Nandroid ? why didn't you use the Google drive or Dropbox for backup ?
HTC gives every One owner a Google Drive just for this reason

well you could try
reboot to TWRP recovery to avoid further damage to the partition, make sure /external_sd is mounted
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p47 of=/external_sd/mmcblk0p47_userdata.img
(that should be a raw ext4 partition)
once that's done, take out your external sdcard, and using a card reader, try mounting it in linux then use some recovery program,
you may possibly need to convert it the raw partition, but i'm not sure about all that, just trying to point you in the [possibly] right direction
but in all cases, very low chance of success probably
EDIT: for example, i was able to mount the partition (i made a backup when i first got the phone), just to test using DiskInternals Linux Reader:

Wow that's Great news... Please find out what he used to recover the files . I could really use it.
if you are rooted, there is an app available through the playstore called diskdigger that recovers deleted files from your internal storage

Disk digger works very very well. I have used it a few times to help others out. It's success rate is pretty high.
Just ensure to recover to the external sd card.
I suggest that you try this htc data recovery solution.
Good luck.

Phone based data recovery apps (such as from the Play store) are your best bet.
As you may be referring to (hard to tell with a one line, vague post) PC based programs have been (at least somewhat) successful recovering data from smartphones in the past. But since Android has moved to MTP protocol (versus USB mass storage), most of those programs won't work.
The phone apps will work to some degree, with internal storage. But data recovery is always an iffy proposition. Once the memory blocks get overwritten, the data is gone for good (at least by any reasonable, consumer level retrieval methods).
