[Q]Moving Apps to SD (Move files method). Is it safe? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
so people told me to go to SdCard0>Android>Data/Obb and copy everything into extSDCard>Android>Data/Obb , so is it safe? from my knowledge of OSs (Linux and Windows) installation cannot be simply moved , because the registry stores the location , and when moving the registry doesn't keep track of this move. So is it safe and how does it work?
thanks

Use filemount . because just moving files to SDcard is useless .. You need something for binding to make the phone think the files are still at their place while actually they are on the externel sdcard .

To clean your SD card, simply just format it via your computer.
I need to keep SD there 14GB of data on it,
Delete default.txt (or startup.txt depeding on your setup), data.img, rootfs.img, zImage, system.sqsh, any of the FSCKxxxx.REC files, the "Android" folder (if you have one), the "AndroidApps" folder (if you have one), the "conf" folder (if you have one), the "cache" folder (if you have one), the "download" folder (if you have one), the "media" folder (if you have one), the "startups" folder (if you have one), and the "wallpapers" folder (if you have one). That should delete most or all of the Android files.
i always wished android was in 1 folder for this reason.

I just ended up putting everything else that was WM related in its own folder instead... that way when I clean my SD I only have to worry about making sure that my "WMStorage" folder stays on my card, and I can delete everything else without fear.
i keep what i can in folders but android is still mixed in with stuff that has to stay at the root of the sd card. it doesnt bug me that much but i still wished it was set up a little different.

Thanks
It is all sorted out..

Where does FPSE save the Saved Date?

I have made many saves on fpse but where are these files actually saved?
I have heard it should be in the .mrc or .mcd folder but I dont have them folders
I don't know. I tried finding them myself at one time but failed. They are burried within the system somehow.
What you can do is specify the path to your own "slot1.mcd" and "slot2.mcd" files by just creating two .txt files and rename them to those names. Though you will lose the saves you have in the other save files.
But there's an option to backup all files to sdcard in the "system" meny. Try doing that and go look on the sdcard for the .mcd files and then just put them somewhere and specify the location to them.
I used the backup option, then navigated to fpsebackuo folder on the sdcard and copied the files from the memcards folder. Now my memory cards are on the sd and not taking up space on the internal memory. Same thing works for save states, but its a different subfolder.
Thanks guys I used the backup idea. Managed to get a saving I had on my ps3 onto the xperia play
Its in /data/data/ by the way

I found mine at the main directory in your internal memory (by default I guess) under ".fpse". You might need to use a computer since that folder was not visible by my android file managers.
Hope it helps.

Data Apps

Hello, I have a question. I have the Samsung galaxy ace root and the root explorer I can see the files but the problem is that I have a problem with the sd card.
Explaining the root problem is that I open explorer and I get the root folder and there I give app data and then and there I get all the apps installed on the internal card and cell phone so I give the app and I can give install message so that if I give to see all your arxibos will I see, because I want to do the same thing but in the applications installed on the sd card is all that installed him stan to see how the d internal memory but the memory externally. Not if I explain here is better:
when I get into /data/app

imageshack.us/photo/my-images/842/37418692.jpg/
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/94/41448627.jpg/
and when I'm in /mnt/sdcard
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/204/24011522.jpg/
The purpose of this is that in / mnt / sdcard no data / app so I can not give the application to see as before in / data / app so you can see the configuration files of the game
Even in the pc let me.
PS: the big problem is that the file is read-only and even changing the permissions and putting it all clicked not even let me delete or modify files in that folder or glue or anything.
Let's see if anyone can answer me. thanks

[Q] Moving everything out of the 0 folder in 4.2

I just flashed 4.2, and it moved everything into the /0/ folder on my SD card, just like everyone said it would. Is it safe to use root explorer to move everything back out of the /0/ folder onto the root of my SD card, or will it screw something up?
im having the same problem, my nandroid is in the 0 folder, (actually its in 0/0/clockwork/ when i moved up to the root folder, made a clockwork, cwm could not find it.. ANYONE have any info on how I can get my back up?? ps i have saved it to my computer...and used the g/n toolkit to push it but doesnt show up upon recoverymode.
You should not move it to the root folder. It will cause your root partition to run out of space and screw up the phone. Move it to the sdcard partition, which is located at either:
/sdcard
/storage/sdcard0

Ok, thats what I meant to ask, I just didnt put it in the form of "/sdcard"
what is the "zero" folder for now? why is it there? why cant i get cwm to find my dman nandroid to go back to? can someone tell me wtf is going on? when i click on restore, NOTHING cwm says there is no file, but when i browse, its now in the 0/clockwork/backup folder, but /sd there is nothing, how do i move it?? when i push with the toolkit, it doenst work.. can someone PLEASE help me out?
i have tried, re lcoking the phone to erease everything.. what do i need to do? i just want my old nandroid back please.
j
why do ull want to move it out of the 0 folder if its not causing any problems ? i don get it.. if its not causing any problems why move it ? just let it go !
They changed the filesystem layout for multi-user. So no, moving it out of 0 will do harm. /storage/sdcard0 now points to /storage/emulater/legacy. You could symlink some stuff around, though. Don't blame me if you screw up.
Or just wait for your recovery to be updated for 4.2's fs layout, then all should be fine. (what else breaks because of this?)
Edit :
I found a more elegant method :
Create a shortcut (a symbolic link) in /data/media named "clockworkmod" that points to /data/media/0/clockworkmod.
Steps are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991657 - this is for the nexus 7, but I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work on the galaxy nexus.
Original post :
I noticed that if I make a backup in 4.2 using cwm, it backs up to /data/media/clockworkmod. All my old backups (the ones I made before 4.2) are now in /data/media/0/clockworkmod. Is it safe to copy the contents of /data/media/0/clockworkmod over to /data/media/clockworkmod, so that I can restore my old backups if I want to ?

[Q] Can someone explain to me how storage works? What is

I decided to upgrade to Lollipop after holding out for awhile.... before I did though, as I knew I was going to run an RUU so I wouldn't have any problems with the OTA, I copied everything in my "storage" (all folders) to my windows laptop desktop via USB.
After upgrading, I copied it all back, making sure not to over-write anything.
What is strange is when I copied all my folders to my laptop initially, I didn't see a Download folder... which I expected to see. But after looking through the folders I had copied, I saw a folder called storage, and in that folder another called emulated, and then another called "0". In that folder I finally saw my Download folder.
I didn't think much of this at the time, however, when I look at storage from Root Explorer, I note there is a new Download folder at the "root" level of storage, but the storage/emulated/0 path is still there as well.... and following it takes me to my old Download folder....
So...to get back my original folders and contents before I upgraded to Lollipop, I have to copy over every folder in this path up 3 levels. i.e., from /storage/emulated/0/storage/emulated to /storage/emulated.
What is going on? Why is there an "0" and a "legacy" if I go up one level from /storage/emulated/??? Why did my old Download folder end up where it did?
I had this exact same thing in my mind.
Why is there such a folder ?
My phone storage was almost full and I found out this folder is taking up whole space.
I cut the storage folder and pasted it into memory card
now all my downloads go to memory card (mmc:storage/emulated/0)
+1
I have also this folder that takes a lot of internal memory space.
I experiment one thing:
I have 1 game that takes 2Gb of data and I have moved it to sdcard memory (using Android-M feature : move app from internal to sdcard )
I saw in this directory (emulated/0/ ) the 2Gb of this game. ????? So, I tryed to copy/paste this data to sdcard, in order to free internal memory space. But I loose the game's configuration.
I was thinking that moving app from internal to scard, the data of the app also move, isn't it ?
I need help to understand that ...
