ROM Toolbox Lite

Hi all,
I just installed ROM Toolbox Lite and forgot to make a nandroid backup before changing the boot animation.
I noticed that the boot became a little longer, also with a little lag.
Is there a way to revert it aside from reflashing my ROM?
Also, I saw a feature on the Toolbox called "SD Boost".
Does it really work?
What are the cons of boosting your SD?
Thanks in advance!

As far as i think...you will need to change your boot animation manually from system...you will have to download a boot animation from any site of the specific resolution provided in the link...follow the steps and change your boot animation...i tried it....it works...!

SD boost increases the speed of external sd...it makes the sd installed applications run smoother...it is applied in case of lower class sd cards...furthurmore...i suggest you to download sd boosting app from playstore...beacuse as far as i think...Rom Toolbox is not compaitable for Galaxy W...my battery icon changing attempt also caused me to restore my backup ....and disadvantage of sd boosting is that it might might might break your sd card....as far as i know...

What are the chances to break my SD card?
I'm using a 8GB Class 4 SDHC.
I can't find any card in our place that has a higher class.

Not seeing external sd?

I'm having an issue with my external sd, it's only 4gb. I formatted to fat32 and the phone acts like it wants to load, but Doesn't do anything.
This is my first time with this phone running anything aosp so I'm kind of new to this.
Any idea or suggestions? I'm on liquid smooth rc7 w/ ktoonz kernel btw.

Yeah I tried that. I even tried the sdcard.org site but for some reason my sd card wasn't recognized! I have a mac so I just used disc utility. The funny thing is, I formatted the card, dragged my ring tones to the card and tested. They showed up, so I dragged the rest of it over. My stuff disappeared and wasn't seen in the gallery, but was in root explorer.
Is there a folder or file or something that determines the formatting? I have a lost.dir folder that comes up and I have no idea why.

Ok, the lost.dir is normal.
Go into app manager, clear cache and data for Media Storage, then reboot and wait a few min for it to rescan.

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try. I'm going to give Frosty JB a try and see what happens. Hopefully it works out like I'm hoping it will.

How to move games SD data to SD card ?

Hello guys, I just got my N7100 yesterday, Its a real awesome device, seriously !!
However, I had HTC Desire C before N7100, And I used to put games sd data on sd card/Android/obb
but on N7100 I have to put sd data on the phone memory, which is phone/Android/obb for example
whenever i try to put sd data on sd card it doesn't get read, like the phone reads sd data only from phone memory and it doesn't support reading sd files from sd card !
For example Amzaing Spider-man has a SD data of 1.4gb, It should be putted on SD card/Gameloft, But when I did that, the device didn't read them .. but it worked when I moved the SD data to Phone/Gameloft
and the same thing with obb files, etc
Still, The sd card works great with no problems at all !!
( my device is not rooted )
And thx in advance <3
​

Unfortunately the device doesn't support moving games to external sd card. If you have noticed there isn't the option move to sd card in the apps settings. There are 2 ways to solve the issue but require root. If someone knows something more he should help.

I've been *****ing about this since I got my Note 2. It's complete madness and I believe harmful to android in many ways. The really annoying thing is that no-one mentions it when you buy the phone. Samsung even gloats about the GN2 and S3's expandable memory!!! They don't mention that is only good for private files and films you may have pirated! You can not ever have off-line Spotify playlist on the SD card. I filled my SD (within 1GB) in 10 days.
Maybe Google's plan is a return to the dark ages. Maybe they will start selling games on memery cards or more likely they are planning to sell Android powered game consoles!!
Consoles that would not sell if we all had the equivalent in our pockets with expandable memories and which just sat on a shelf after a 2 year contract and the launch of a new flagship.

Wow !! .. It sounds like a major problem, Could I get a solution even if I root my phone ? .. ( But with a step-by-step guide please ) ^_^
Update :
How about this app ?
Does it work on Note II ?
If so, Could anyone please give me a tutorial starting from rooting my phone until using this app ?
Sorry for being such a newbie but I really don't know a thing about rooting
and thx for everyone

Root and use gl to sd(search on play) its very easy to use i dont think u need a guide. Just press menu key and click move data.

[Q] Samsung App2SD Update???

Good day I'm planning to get a S4 Mini soon, likely the 3G version, but I don't want to root so I was wondering whether Samsung has added Apps2SD ability to it yet.
When they updated the full S4 Samsung said they were also going to add App2SD ability to the S4 Active and Mini and I was just wondering whether that has happened yet?
On the Samsung App store there is an App2SD-like app which shows support for the S4 Mini so can any of you use that app?
I'd prefer not have to root and use Link2SD....so if this hasn't happened yet then I might have to get at getting an S3 instead, despite that one not being extremely hard to operate one-handed.

When I bought my phone about a month ago apps2sd didn't work. I managed to transfer my apps to the sd with "Folder Mount" but this app requires root.

Hi I'm new to the s4 mini section.
To be perfectly honest, this phones internal memory is large enough for most things.
If you have multiple large games that you wish to keep, the quickest way is an app called gl to sd.

App2SD is supported.
Use an app called AppMgr III (formerly called App2SD)

So you can use it now? On a completely stock phone without root?

Yup I'm currently stock, nothing messed with. You can go to application manager and select Move to SD.
Read my previous post because I just edited it.
Edit: but remember if an app has not been designed with App2SD in mind, then you can't move it.

Thats true, it will copy to the emulated sd card which is in fact your internal storage, thus resulting to fail moving as the app is already there.

App2sd is not yet supported. When i used to boot up AppMgr3 on samsung stock fw update (July/Aug '13 update) i got "Your device is not supported because the sdcard is being emulated" and resulting in not reading the extSdcard instead.
Sent from my GT-I9195 using xda premium

Oh darn. Perhaps the update has only been released in Eradica's region and not in your region yet/or not yet released by your carrier?

I don't know about any new samsung stock updates as i'm not running stock firmware ever since CM alphas. I failed to mention that i use CyanogenMod 10.1.3 firmware, so im not really having space issues.
Also i could always flash my kernel and rom back to original stock if any means necessary due to warranty void.
Sent from my GT-I9195 using xda premium

Well that explains it then because the is a function Samsung is specifically adding back to it's S4 line and perhaps also some S3 models with an update. Android JB which your CM is based on doesn't allow native App2SD anymore.

Ok, I just got my S4 Mini LTE version yesterday and I can confirm that Samsung have in fact released the update because I have the Move to SD card function for most of my downloaded applications on the stock 4.2.2 version.

Find 7/7a storage?

I dont have Find7/7a but can any owner of phone tell me is storage of Find7/7a like in Find 5 separated in 2 partitions?
Thanks

Yes, same silly and outdated partitioning system.

I also was disapointet when i mentioned that there are only 3GB App-space on the N7.
But CM11 is on the way and this will fix the problem (unified storage).
Also an Oppo-Staff said there would be a solution for an future firmware release from oppo.

CM11 won't change the partition setup.
There's a potential LVM trick I'm looking into for omni but it's going to take a while as I need to finish the basics on omni first (like audio)

I think that the best you can hope for is to have the 10GB of internal storage plus the SD card, basically a "13GB" phone with a microsd slot.

Quick question.
How do I find out how much storage is being taken up by my apps? I just want to make sure 3 gb won't be an issue before I order the phone. I don't really have any games installed so don't think it will be an issue.

Are there any news on this topic?
That 3 GB limit for App data is really annoying I don't really care about ColorOS not working with a different partition layout, since I'm only using custom ROMs (currently on Team Gummy, really great!)
