hello, can I completely delete all files from my internal (not memory card but phones) memory? got a data_bin file in there, a samsung folder, a titanium backup folder (wont be deleting that) and a backup folder, the backup folder got something about imei/data_bin so its a backup lol?(so obviously not to delete that) so can I delete away????
Copy titanium backup data to ur pc only and format internal sd it makes no problem other filea are backup files if u like then copy that backup folder or just format not a big deal.

I need your help. Whilst going through my nandroid backup folder on the computer, i accidentally deleted both internal folders. Now i can't do any backups because when i try to do a nand restore it shows me the 4 files within the folder; instead of actually restoring them.
Any ideas???
Quick question... I897 with KB1 + voodoo lagfix kernel. Just did my first nandroid backup and it completed... however, it flashed some errors about accessing apps on external sdcard. This was from CWM RED (v2.5.1.3). I do have some of my larger apps stored on external SD (and all work just as fast as if they were on internal sd). Was I supposed to move these back to internal SD before doing nandroid? Does a nandroid backup just backup the internal sd? Thx gang.
Typically nandroid through CWM creates the image from shall we say the local or main portion of you devices memory.
Suggestion - If you are space deprived on the internal SD, copy the APKs to you desktop (for the image backup) and delete them from your device for now. They can always be copied back to your int SD or ext Sd. This won't remove, delete or uninstall the application itself, but rather enhance space.
Another suggestion is to create an initial backup prior to the CWM nandroid backup with Titanium Backup first, then copy and store that backup, with all your apps) safely on a PC.
Hope this helps...
Peace-
How to delete the whole backup
I just done one more backup as im on a new rom and i wan to delete the old backup i cannot find the file nandroid how do i delete it?
please reply.
If I deleted the apps at system without backup, for example I deleted the file at /system/app/SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk without backup and then i flashing custom rom the SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk wont install again in my phone rite?
If I want install back the SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk what should I do?
When backup the system files to ext sd card we can just move it to ext sd card or we need to copy the file to ext sd card frist then delete it?
Any link that backup all system files for gnote?
Apps are related to your rom buddy.....
If you may delete them by any means and you will gonna flash any new rom or downgrade to any rom....the apps in that rom will automatically be there.

What Shiv said about installing different rom is correct. If you want to backup stock apps with .odex files then best is to copy all these apps (.apk and .odex files) to SD card using root explorer, so that you can copy them back whenever required. As I know most of the backup apps fails to restore .odex apps. And if you are on some deodexed custom rom then Titanium backup is best.
I have backup of all stock apps in my SD, I just selected all files in system/app and copied them to SD as backup

I have one more question, if i want to delete stock apps just simply delete .apk and .odex file or just delete .apk file?

it's much better to really delete everything that is associated with that file... so yes, the apk and the odex one.
Ok, so my rom got corrupted and didn't have any backup of the data so I made a nandroid backup and flashed a new rom.
Now I have the nandroid backup in hand and I need to extract the apps and data from there. I used app extractor and it was able to extract and restore apps stored on internal memory (sd-ext since I use amarrullz script).
Here are some issues that I am still facing:
1. Appextractor wasn't able to restore my old sms. Any idea where they might be located? and guide/app to restore?
2. My apps which were located on the external sd card arn't there yet. I guess it has something to do with android_secure? I have most(or all?) of the apps which were installed in the external card in ".asec" format and I have no idea what to do with them. Can anyone guide me where the apps and thier data is located and how to restore them? I tried advanced restoring "data" from nandriod but that leads to bootloop.
Update : Sms issue was solved
The apps on sd end up in asec partition:
Data and lib files go in mnt/asec/[app name directory]
Dalvik cache goes to internal on data/dalvik-cache
Data goes on internal data/data
You can extract the contents of the nandroid backup to your pc and then use adb to push the files where they belong.
Good luck.

1. I only have asec files which i have placed in mnt/secure/asec
2. Is dalvik-cache necessary?
3. data is copied
4. the libs and data of mnt/asec are not present in nandroid backup (atlest i couldn't find).

I made a twrp backup and was able to drag and drop it to my PC for later use. Now the big question is...where do I move this backup to? I've simply moved it back into the backups folder located in my twrp folder in my internal storage. If I go to restore, I can see the backup folder along with another backup I named Stock. Will this work if I just restore the backup from here? It seems too simple. I have read about pushing the file using adb to internal storage and then installing it as a zip file. Problem is the backup is not a zip file. Any help will do. Thanks.
