[Q] Possible to Move Titanium Backup into Rom?

Hi guys i was wondering if its safe to move titanium backup into the rom, like installing it on the internal, then copying the app from the data/app folder to the system/app folder with root explorer? it is an important app so just want some tips if anyone has done it.
Thanks

Yep. Been doing that for quite a while. Better copy the apk file from data/app folder to SD. Afterwards do an uninstall of the app just to properly remove the app components. Then copy the TB apk file you saved on the SD card and paste it on to system/app folder. Don't forget to change the permissions and then reboot.
Make a NAND backup to before doing it as a precaution.
If you are going to flash a new ROM, you can put the apk file on the system/app prior to flashing. No need to update the permissions afterwards.

When you say, change the permissions, what do you mean? and change them to what? when i select the permissions option theres loads of boxes, some ticked and some unticked, therefore which ones do i need to tick and untick? thanks

Just long press on any existing app under system/app folder and select permissions via root explorer. find out what boxes that are checked. you need to set the same permission for Titanium apk.
It should be like this.
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Root explorer being a paid app, you can set required permissions with Terminal emulator easily:
Anything in /system/app or /data/app should have permissions : rw-r--r-- / 644
So command is :
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/com.keramidas.Titaniumbackup-1.apk
Check the file name.

This thread is awesome. I have 100 mb free in my system rom, and I'd like to move some apps over to it since I don't have too many options with my CDMA Desire. Thanks!

Okay, maybe I'm missing some final steps here. I've copied the apk files to the SD card, uninstalled the app, changed the permissions, then rebooted. I used Adobe Reader and Google+ since I don't use them often, and wanted to try something that wouldn't matter too much if I goofed it up. Well, the apps just forced closed when I tried to open them after rebooting. So I thought I had to install them (long press on apk file and click install). Well, that defeated the purpose because it installed them to internal memory. So was I supposed to do something else, or did I miss a step? And now I've got some stray files on the internal memories, since that has now shrunk. I was able to "uninstall updates" to Google+ and get rid of most of it, but I don't see where to uninstall them so I can start over.

[Q]ROM Manager default location?

Is there a way to get ROM MANGER to default to the Internal "SD" card for backups? It always goes to my external card.
I know I can manually launch clockworkmod and select "internal SD" but I would rather do it from within the O/S so I can name the files.

you can always rename the files however you like with any file editor to rename them
and you can move the zip files around to either Internal SD or External SD
personally i like them on the External SD better to safe space on my Internal SD

I do that but like the convenience of doing it from the O/S. I thought I preferred the external as well until yesterday. The reason I want to do that is because when I tried doing a restore from the external it kept crashing. Seems my 32GIG card is flaky (as these cards can be) and I couldn't restore. I know it's the card because it restored fine from the internal SD. The internal ram, not being a "card" is much more reliable and now I am too skittish to use the external MicroSd for backups.

PM Koush or sent him an email for a feature request on his CWR
to let user pick where the backup are kept

I think I'm missing something!?
It looks like it's included already?

Well I'll be a son of a b .......... I tried MENU everywhere except from the main screen! Dohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Thanks for making me look foolish, I deserved it! But I don't feel that bad since Allgamer didn't recall either,

not exactly, i was thinking more in the area of Letting you select a Folder you like.
i do know of the internal vs. external option
that's why i said i like it to be on the external by default a few messages above
ideally we should be able to pick a folder to keep all that stuff, i'll like to point it to a folder called "ROMs" for example in the root of /sdcard/
instead of the default
(titanium backup just recently added that feature, well more like they improved it)

Plz help

When i format the sdcard and delete partition and create a new pertition and flashed apps2sd enable rom. Then in /system/sd , there is no file like that. So then i can install any apps. But again when i install another rom like repencics,corbits or etc. Those files autometically comes on /system/sd and i unable to install apps. Getting restart.. Very important thinks that using root explorer with w/r and in cwm , it is not deleted and plz see this pic

Unless you know what those are for and what exactly they do, I'd recommend leaving system files alone.
Anyway, to delete make sure you mount as r/w.

and if u delete them without knowing what r they use for ....
then ur whole os might get crash
and will result in some probs !
its better to leave them as it is

You'll have to mount it as Read/Write and then you'll be able to del them ..
U are using Root explorer .. so there is a toggle button to switch between [Read and Write] and [Read Only] .. at the top with labels Mount R/W and Mount R/O respectively..
So make sure you have mounted it as Read And Write and then you can delete or rename or whatever you want..
But why do you want to del those files?
Those are system files so its better not to touch them unless you know what you are doing!

[Q] Internal storage full almost full...

Hey guys
I've searched around a lot for this but haven't found anything that helps me...Basically recently my phone has been telling me that there is around ~520mb free left on internal storage.
Here's some pics from "Storage" and from the StorageAnnilyser app.
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Everything I have (pictures, etc) is stored on my external SD, so I really don't know what is clogging up my internalSD at this point...
Also, I have made two CWM backups, which are not showing up in either internalSD/Clockworkmod, or on my externalSD/Clockworkmod as I have it set to.
Any ideas where they can be found?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks guys,
Elliott

Bump

Did you check under TWRP. That would be the place your backup would go to with the newer TWRP recovery.

I'm using CWM.

Use a root explorer and browse to /data/Lost+found if it's packed, delete everything

Empty but thanks...any other ideas?

Could try Diskusage from play store. It gives a little bit more info of what files are taking up space. Can be set to scan Internal/SD and if you have root, even the main directory. (personally never used the root scan) It reminds me of a pc app called Windirstat. It will even allow you to delete files straight from the app.

I actually just ran into this same problem myself last week. In your storage analyser app (the same one i use btw) change the path its looking at to the /data partition (the pie chart button). If it is as i suspect your lost+found folder is probably brimming with junk file fragments. This folder is protected even beyond normal root elevations and doesn't show the files contained within. I was able to use File Manager! from the play store, change the permissions on the folder and delete some of the junk but there were still some that it couldn't delete for some reason. I deleted the contents of the folder using the file manager in TWRP which supersedes the permissions on the folder, in CWM you can probably do the same with the AROMA file manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952862. Its probably worth mentioning im using an AOSP based ROM and the permissions may be different in TW.

Thanks guys.
Disk usage worked great for me in ways that storage analyser never did.
I found my CWM backups in the root directory of my phone (not even in internal storage). I moved/deleted a bunch of them and problem solved...
Don't know why the backups are saved there but whatever...going to be saving to external storage from now on (where I thought they were being saved originally)

[GUIDE]How to move app data to SD card, running Lollipop

Root is needed. Since many people have been complaining that you cannot install apps to the SD card I found a solution.
It is an app called gltosd. I have been using that on the stock ROM too.
Now the tutorial:
Install the app. Next go to your internal memory and copy the data of the game to /sdcard1/obb which is the folder gl stores app data inside. Now after moving that reboot your device and run the game in the app, after pressing the chain button on the top.
If you have a Gameloft game then store the data to
/sdcard1/games
Data folders (previously in /internal/android/data) are moved to:
/sdcard1/data
Again if you didn't see obb goes:
/sdcard1/obb
Here you go that is it. If you still have issues running apps reboot.
If I solved your issue please just thank me.

It only takes 2 taps to thank somebody here.

It works. But still cant install games from Google Play. For me the best was storage swap, so... finger crossed that anybody find out working method on lollipop.

So as to move apps to SD card and to edit System apps you can also use Link2SD application. (Root needed)

Well, bro, nice app, but there's one more great available, Folder Mount... #JustSaying

Thanks bro, it worked !!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

It's a lot easier bro, you just have to create a folder with same name as it is on internal storage, place the folder at appropriate location, as per need and just have to link them, sdcard folder will be mounted at boot and you can launch the app directly, so efficient.
Here's a example for you

}

Actually this does not move apps 2 sd crad, you may want to change the title of this thread
And for the same purpose, I suggest using folder mount because it is far better :good:
You could mount any apk data with folder mount.
