rom manager not reading sd card

basically everytime i do a back up, it saves to the sd card. but i cant manage my backups because rom manager reads internal memory instead. is there a way to get rom manager to read the sd. i read somewhere you cant really change the default path of the gs3..

What version are you using?

One quick and easy thing you can try...
In Root Explorer you can link to folders and files. I dont know if other file explorers do this but heres how.
Long press on the folder you want to link to and select link to this...
Then browse to the internal sdcard and press done to complete the action.
Now in Rom Mgr you should be able to see and change to that folder.
Note that if you clear dalvik or data uou will have to reapply this.
Another way would be to use sn init.d script that creates the link every boot. But of course you must have a rom with init.d support.
Hope that helps you out.

i have the latest version of rom, and i downloaded root explorer but i didnt see the link option.
does cwm naturally back up to sd card? if so this brings me to another thing
i nandroid back up awhile back before i exchanged my phone for a new one (mura effect. got a good on btw) i put my sd card in and my back up wasnt there
so it seems my phone backs up where ever it wants haha...

When you long press on an item, Link to this Folder is the last option in the menu that pulls up.
Most apps by default save to sdcard, which happens to be what Samsung decided to call the Internal storage. I dont use Rom Manager anymore (I like Goo Manager/TWRP recovery better) but wasn't there an option to manually enter the path to the folder you want to use? Didn't think of that earlier. If so enter this (it is case sensitive):
/mnt/extSdCard/PathToYourFolder/
If not, look for that link option again. You have to scroll down the menu so it may be easy to miss.

[Q] How to install back factory app?

Dear Forum members!
Today I wanted to modify the smiles in the Mms.apk system app..
when i Copied back and tried to isntall, my phone started to reboot and not come back... (I know of course I mistake
From ADB I fixed my phone but just a half success, I copyed back the original Mms.apk and changed the permissions to 644, my phone boots up normally, but I still can't install the apk.. if i try to isntall from system/app it says: Replace app.. (I dont see in any list to be installed) If I press Ok, starting to install, then says: X App not installed. In downloaded apps I see messaging with 0 kilobytes, i can remove. After this if i try to install from system/apps it dont want to replace but the same thing happens... (X App not installed) Another interesting thing. On my Sd folder I still have a copy of Mms.apk, if I enter into this directory withy any file explorer, its quit I have ftp server where i can rename to mms.app -for example. In this case the explorers are not quit But I have no chance to install like user and not like root?..
Of course i have rooted my phone and it works.
Is someone have any idea?
thanks: Karoly

Please help me
I installed to my phone a catlog to read out what happens durring the installation.. I see in the log there is no odex file in the mms.apk ... Is someone can suggest me a solution to install back my factory mms application? I really don't want to reinstall my system because of this problem. Currently I use the latest android update 4.1.2. I have too much settings and apps on the phone :S
Thank you in advance.

If your on a stock Google ROM (Yakju?) you should be able to download the factory image and fastboot flash just the system.img & your apps & data should be fine.

Hi. Thanks your answer.
I tried to flash only the system yesterday, wipe caches and fix permissions, my datas remained, but the mms app still not works.. nothing changed. Is it possible maybe to install this apk from recovery (cwm) mode?
Im sure if i reflash everything will work but i dont want to lose my apps, so i'd like to fight for it if its possible

[Q] I swapped memory of Galaxy W and I think it passed away!

I tried to swap storage of my phone and now, when I open my phone, it refreshes itself after reaching samsung animated logo.
Which means my phone is not opening, just restarting after Galaxy W logo.
This was what I did.
- Install Root Explorer
- Open root explorer, go to folder \system\etc
- Download modified vold.fstab :
- Open root explorer
- Tick mount R/W ( So that you can edit system file )
- Extract the content of the file that you download just now and overwrite original vold.fstab with the downloaded vold.fstab in the \system\etc folder.
- Tick mount R/O
- Restart your phone and enjoy.
After that, I flashed couple stock roms with Odin, it gave the same result. Am I right ? My phone is gone away

From where did you download the modified vold.fstab ?
Have a look here also.

do you set permission after doing that?..

if your phone can still boot to recovery,, why not reflash your back up..

I did the steps here
mygalaxywonder.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-to-swap-and-unswap-memory-in.html
I downloaded files from there too.
My phone was already rooted and permission was setted.
The phone does not accept any flash. I tried many stock Rom's too. Like Turkish one, Europe one.
Isn't there anyway to save my phone ?

Yesss!! I succeed bro! You are the man Well, I understand that I should format system too which was the thing I forgot. Also, do you suggest CM 10 or something better for gaming ? Dude, I could not open games like Vice City or Shadowgun in my W. My internal storage is so small. Is there another ways to install games. Lighten me please!

Just swap the internal storage with your sd card and you will have bigger internal. If you are using cm9 go to settings > storage > press menu > there should be something like use external or such i don't remember > tick it and then restart

Which asop rom (need to clean my phone)

My Note 2 N7100 is slow when i want to drag som picture/folders over to my pc, it freezes and my phone can't always be reconized by my pc (unknown usb devise), after i tried to make a backup of my pictures on my micro hcsd i thought i need to take it out(to make it less slow) to se if theres something i need to back up on the intern sd card, took out my 30gb trancend card while my phone was on and now i have none of my usual contacts on my phone (normally stored on my gmail account).
Need to wipe all my data except for pictures, that i somehow need to take a backup of. Backup of my pictures to dropbox is not good because then my picture is downloaded to my dropbox folder on my ssd, why do i wanna do that? I want open my dropbox folder and look for pictures and the mabye download them.(havn't figure out if that is possible)
I have upgraded to omega rom 17 today, but i would like to try a asop rom 4.2.2, i can't awoid to delete,vipe all of my data, where i many times have upgraded to a newer omega rom with no full vipe
What would you recomend me to try?
Lost my usual gmail contact's, is there any way of getting them back?
Backup of my pictures, how? (havn't tried my laptop to se if that works with my phone so i can make a backup of my pictures)

I use carbon rom and I recommend it to anyone.

No matter what i try i can't get my phone to be recognized under download so i can install a standard samsung note 2 N7100 rom, so i have to use omega rom 17

U said dropbox download the pictures to your internal storage .. You still can take the pictures from internal to external using file managers app ..
Put pictures on external .. Backup the apps using something like titanium backup also to external .
Go to your recovery philz or twrp are good..
Wipe everything (internal sdcard, system, data, factory reset, etc..)(except external ofc)
Install a fresh ROM..
Restore your apps ..
That usually would fix any problem ..
For which AOSP ROM,
Carbon ROM is the best .. I use latest nightly usually.

Why do i wanna have Dropbox download pictures (which is what i have most of on my dropbox) on to my phone?
Why can't i open dropbox and se what i have, and maybe download them, i take a picture that is stored on my phone and if it's uploaded to dropbox it is also downloaded to my phone.
How do i install simplistic framework and get it to work i have tried a few times, but no i can't, either it dosn't work or if i try installing it many apps like systems ui stops to work, ned to adjust my top taskbar, reducing the numbers of shortcuts and other stuff (i have paid for it but can't find the apk only a zip file)

But Dropbox does not download them... when a picture is uploaded, you just have to remove it from the phone if you don't want it to be there.. I don't get the problem...
Ummm I would advice you to get phoneix rom .. and in it you can install simplistic framework too.. try it..

When i delte it on my phone it's also deleted from dropbox so it's not any more on my pc.
How do i download something from dropbox? I wanted to install simplistic framwork 3.6 but i couldn't download it from dropbox (i can install the controll app).
Have this problem where i want to upgrade to ver 3.6 of simlistic framwork but i cant remeber how to do it, it pisses me off, because i just want it to work and cant remember if it's oxeded or deoxeded and whwn i try to install it i get the som gui that stops working.

Dropbox does not download the pictures, but the touchwiz implementation with it makes it download them. Deactivate it in cloud settings. You download pictures by favouriting them in the Dropbox app.
If you use camera upload, the pictures should not be deleted if you delete them from your picture gallery, unless of course you're deleting from the camera upload folder.
Simplistic framework is flashed from a custom recovery, like cwm or twrp, if you use a custom rom, then you probably want the deodexed variant. Wipe dalvik and cache after flashing.
