Hey y'all
I just purchased a 16GB SD card to replace my 4GB one.
Decided to replace the Tabasco Silky ROM with Sandvold's ICS Beta ROM to compliment the new SD card
ROM working but when I copied the previous SD's data over to new SD, I can't see my apps:crying::crying::crying:
Tried exactly as the other forum user's have suggested (copy old SD card data to PC -> copy data from PC to new SD card) = didn't work
I can see all my photos, music, vids but no apps in apps drawer
I can see the exact copy of my previous SD card on my new SD card in CWM:good:
I tried to restore a nandroid backup from my old SD...but it only restores my previous GB screens/data/apps...I can't see any evidence of the ICS ROM that was loaded
OR
Can any of the xda gurus recommend A solution(s)?
Hi, were your apps on an sd-ext partition? If you are using windows your ext partition of your old card is probably not being recognised. If you download and run a ububtu live cd you will be able to see and copy both partitions of the card. One with the photos/data on the other with the apps.
If you created a nandroid backup of your ICS rom you could just partition your new card and restore but is sounds like you forgot to backup before flashing your new Rom.

is there any other way to check beside the Ubuntu live cd?

Try this to access ext partitions in Windows. I haven't tried this but it looks like it will work:
http://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways-to-access-your-linux-partitions-from-windows/
If you want to restore apps from one rom to another you should use either titanium backup or mybackup from the market before flashing the new rom (i use my backup pro). This will allow you backup sms and call log too.
Can't you restore your GB from nandroid and backup apps using titanium/mybackup? You could then transfer the backup files to your new card, flash ICS and restore using titanium/mybackup. Please note I think you need the pro version of mybackup to restore to different roms but with titanium I think the free version does it.
If I were to have LINK2SD and foldermount installed and having some apps running from both internal and external and a couple of symlinks going on.
Then I decide to backup up using TWRP and install a new rom on there. What happens to the apps and folders on the external? Do they stay there or get deleted? Are they then useful or useless?
Now if I were to go and restore the backup nandroid, do things go back into place? Would the thing get recovered to the SD card again?
How about if Titanium backup goes into the equation?
Sorry for any confusion but I'm really confused right now

Backup and restore do not touch your internal or external SDcard. So your files, apps, and folders remain untouched.

Don't know link2sd, but nandroid doesn't touch anything on sdcards. Might have to reestablish links, but probably not. Try it, won't harm anything.

So long as you don't delete any of the data on the external card, then you should be fine. I've been using it this way on my phone for nearly 2yrs.
But my phone is jellybean based so you need to test it out if you are on a kitkat based rom.
**edit to add.. Thought I better add that I don't use foldermount or titanium.
My SD card is partitioned to have an ext4 partition for link2sd and a swap partition and Ofc the main partition.
I've just realised that you don't mention a partition for link2sd. Are you aware that you have to have a partition on your card for link2sd?

I am aware i have to partition it for LINK2SD but I've no idea what the swap partition is for. I'm guessing if link2sd works then foldermount should too.
So what if this: i move my apps using link2sd then back up the nandroid. Then use a different rom and copy everything on my sd as it is to my computer. Then after i'm done with the rom, i restore and copy the stuff back onto the SD. Should that work? Or would the link be broken?
Thanks in advance.
So long as the data is intact, then you should * be fine. The link would be broken but generally you can just recreate the link. I think at one point I was running 4 backed up roms (2 roms and 2 pared down versions for benching) I would switch back and forth daily as I was a tester for 2 devs.
The Swap partition is just for low memory devices. It actually has no bearing on the subject. Just me waffling sorry
As I said earlier, you should make a nandroid before you make any alterations and then add each app/process and back that up too. Then test each change.
All the best rich

You wouldn't a way that lets you remove TWRP and use the stock recovery would you?
Also a method to unroot so i can send it back to the store for any fixing?
And lastly how do I install the stock rom if i used any other rom? (Besides restoring the nandroid back)
So basically how do i unroot, install stock recovery and reinstall stock rom? For the v500
Thanks in advance and sorry for the noob questions. Still getting the hang of this.

have you found your answer? because I have the same question.
I link my app data and obb to the ext4 partion in my sd card using link2sd, also I backup my ROM using TWRP
So, if I restore will link2sd be able to link the app datas automatically?

I was try 2 metode restore nandroid with use link2sd..first i try to reformat ext4 partition before restore nandroid and the results of all applications that are already on the link gone..second I try to directly restore applications without reformatting the results are not lost but their application after the reboot error and application error ended up missing. it looks like the system ext4/link broken..so I must to clean flashing rom from the start otherwise the system will error. So if u want to backup nandroid u must unlink or move back to internal first for safety and reformat ext4 partition before u link app again

How can I backup my internal storage? I don't find the option
Sent from my P6 via the unicon network
what do you want to backup exactly?
the backuptool saves almost all relevant things.. third Party apps like titanium backup might save more...

If you want to try the method that they suggested to you , you could try using twrp, usb mount setting and selecting the internal memory as the one to mount then you can at least copy your data off it before formatting it so that it is usable again.
Hope that helps
This is the default ROM for 1s in Indonesia, sold by lazada. It includes Gapps and English-Chinese-Indonesian language.
The backup taken from Redmi 1s before even booting to android. Then I immediately flash CM11
I backed-up all partition, because there's some sort of customization data in /data partition too.
How to use:
1. Download from here or here.
2. Extract to your /TWRP/BACKUPS/<phone id>/ folder (can be internal or external memory).
3. Restore, and you're done.
ROM description taken from build.prop:
ro.build.id=JLS36C
ro.build.version.incremental=JHCMIBF32.0

Hi, even if this out of my topic:
1. For backing up sms/call log/contacts, I use Super Backup, it doesn't even need root, for backing up app it need root (only if you want to backup app+data)
2. For app backup, I use Titanium Backup, it does need root though.
Both app is free, and at least in Super Backup you can specify where you want to place the backup.

For some reason whenever I try to backup my T705 using TWRP the backup doesn't show up in the TWRP backup folder on my external SD Card. I don't know where it has been saved to.
Any help greatly appreciated.
UPDATE. Just flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and get the message E:- Unable to locate '/efs2' partition for backup process.
can I ask what does that mean?
Thanks
You're probably backing up to the internal storage. Make sure the backup location selected is MicroSd.
You can try my version here if you still get backup problems.
