The easiest n safest way for me..
1. Backup your old apps using titanium backups
2. Copy titanium backups folder from your old SD card to the new one..
3. Insert your new SD card to your phone, restore it using titanium back up.
4. done.

thnx

Another good method is to create a backup folder on your PC and copy your old sdcard there. Then copy it back to the new card. This has the advantage of giving you a backup in case of failure of the sdcard or the Titanium Backup not restoring properly.
Of course, if you're really OCD like I am, you could do both!

First, don't be a douchebag.
Second, delete useless apps.

if i backup all my files on the new micro, its will save the apps on it ?

No, it will save the data on it (if present). You will have to reinstall your apps, or restore them using Titanium Backup, as mentioned before. You will need root access for the last one.

someone have "titanuimback" zip for cwm ?

I don't know if there's titanium backup .zip..
why u can't install titanium backup...?
Is your device already rooted..?

yes, but i cant install it, its says that i dont have enough memory.
but i have 90Mb free.

OMG
I just move the apps on SDcard to phone (by link2SD)
and then i tried to install titanuim backup and it worked.
i guess that its installing on SDcard.
bb, thnx for the helpers

I would use my external memory card reader that I use for my Mac and plug it into my eePC and the built in sd card reader. Then all I do is copy the files straight over to my new card no problem. If I didn't have that option then I might make a disk image of my current sd card and have my new card be restored from that image. That way I could be sure that the new card is EXACTLY the same as my old one. I've burned disk images like this so I can install Linux onto a computer and I don't see why it won't work for an sd card.

Restored many apps with no issues at all. Just set titanium to work off the external sd and was on my way.

[Q] Deleting Nandroid from Internal SD card.

Hello everyone, I am new to rooting and accidentally installed a nandroid to my internal sd card while trying to put it on my external sd card. I plugged my phone into my computer and deleted the backup files from the Clockwork folder. For some reason though, it keeps showing on my phone in Miscellaneous files that Clockwork mod recovery is taking up a little less than 2gb. Can someone help me fix this?
Thanks in advance!

When you plug into the computer you will see:
Phone (This is really the internal sdcard)
Sdcard (This is the external sdcard)
If you want to get them off the internal sdcard you need to delete them from the phone folder and leave them in the sdcard folder.

I'd familiarize yourself with a file explorer like esfile explorer (best one imo) and you can delete these backups on your phone from your phone, doesn't matter if it's on the internal sd or external sd.

I downloaded root browser lite and I cant seem to find CWM in the internal SD folders.

I agree, except that my favorite is Total Commander.

I use twrp but I still have my stock rooted rom saved with cwm, unless you deleted the folder it should be in the clockworkmod folder

Ok everyone so it seems that I deleted the backup but CWM is still taking up 1.6gb of internal storage. Is this normal, or is this the nandroid I deleted that is still showing?

Newer versions of cwm also store other data (cont remember the name of the folder) to support incremental backups. Maybe that is still there?

That's too much data to be residual, I'd say your backup is in a folder some place in the internal sd

Where should I check?

Idk where it would be if not in the cwm folder, did you try rebooting your phone just to be sure it didn't go tard on you after you deleted it and is now giving you a false reading?

Something I was thinking about is just wiping my internal and external sd card to start fresh. What effect would this have on my root and unlocked bootloader?

OK so I found the problem. I never deleted the blobs files. This is what is taking up so much space. Is it safe to delete these files?
EDIT: I went into CWM recovery and selected free nandroid space and it deleted the blobs not associated with a backup.

Ahh good a happy ending

Yup. The blobs. That is the incremental data that I was talking about before. That is what the new version of cwm uses to avoid duplicating data in successive backups.

Titanium Backup restored apps, but not the data.

I flashed a new ROM. And I used Titanium to restore my apps. Everything appeared fine until i realized that many of my apps had no histories at all. I tried to restore data only for a couple of them, and there was still no data. Does anyone know what could have happened?
When I first launched Titanium on the new ROM it couldn't find any backup. I had to ask it to manually scan the entire phone before it found it.

Is there a different location you saved to such as ExtSD card? I save mine to ExtSD card and every time I flashed a new ROM I would have to go into preferences and chose the ExtSD location.

Yeah! It appears that at some point I chose to store it on my external SD card. But that shouldn't cause the app data missing issue.

Heh, could try FolderMount and mount the files on /extSdcard to your phones internal memory, let TB find it, then unmount them. It will work but not sure why it didn't earlier.

When you want to backup anything, I recommend ease backup on the playstore. Never had an issue, always have issues with tb

SDFix Works?

Heard that the phone can only read from sd card, does this app alleviate the issue?, thanks.

Hi,
I've just found in another forum: you have to flash this:

Kiiiiinda want someone else to try it first...

Don't install that fix listed on page 1, its for the S4.
I can write stuff to the SD using file explorers after rooting but I want to backup my apps to the SD using Titanium backup but I haven't found a way to do it.
SDfix doesn't work, when I tried to change the platform.xml file in the permissions folder as suggest here
http://winaero.com/blog/unlock-external-sd-card-writing-for-all-apps-in-android-4-4-kitkat/
it wouldn't let me save the damn file! Do I need to S-off my device to be able to save it. Has anyone else got any suggestions to get TB backing up to the SD card?

I am using folder mount on M8 available in the play store even mounted whole internal sd to ext sd

I believe you need root, and a kernel which allows write access to the system. Then you can use sdfix or edit the platform.xml file manually

Thanks, any suggestions on a suitable kernel?

HTC M8
SDFix on Google Play solves the KitKat external SD issue for HTC M8 provided that the phone is ROOTED and S-OFF. Beware of the latter condition , it caused me quite a headache.

For write permissions you dont need to be s-off this can be done with root ans s-on.Grant root access to es and this should fix kk sd card issues for you.Also you can flash @flar2 elementalx kernel.This kernel already disables kk read/write issues.
