Problem with Titanium Backup and uninstalling market update - Nook Color General

I searched and still can't find an answer. I have 1.3 stock, and installed cm7 .177 nightly on an sd card. Installed correct gapps and installed Titanium Backup, but when I open Titanium it only shows the overview tab, no backup/restore tab. I'm trying to revert back to the old market so it will work correctly, and I've already done this with mine and I'm trying to make it work on my wife's. As far as I can tell I followed the exact same steps with hers as I did with mine, the only difference is she only has a 1 gb card in her nook and I have an 8 gb card in mine.

I think you need to touch the menu softkey then go to batch there you will see every posible action.

I tried that and it tells me "system requirements are not met". Looking at mine compared with my wifes, Titanium sees my SD card but doesn't recognize hers. In her settings, when I tried to mount the SD card it says 'card error' and may need to format. Is it because the card is only 1 gb that titanium isn't working?

the only difference is she only has a 1 gb card in her nook and I have an 8 gb card in mine.

I think you answered your own question. There is no room for a backup....

Apps2SD noobish help

Sprint HTC Hero (Non-Google Branded)
Fresh Rom 1.0 with De-Fresh and Nexus One Boot screen
Recovery 1.5.2
16GB SD Card
So this is what i know.
1) I already know that Fresh 1.0 has A2SD support built within it.
2) I know to go to Recovery and use the format SD (I used these settings)
Swap:516, Ext3:516, Fat32: Rest ammount
3) Did this once before and it seemed that all my apps were on SD card (when i took it out and reboot, all my apps were gone. When i put it back in then reboot they all back on phone)
What i need to know.
1) How do i choose which apps/games to transfer over to SD card.
2) Where are they on my SD card? (Could not see it when i checked the SD card)
3) When you do this are all of the apps off of the phone memory? or are the apps still able to stay on phone.
What i essentially want to do.
1) i just want to be able to easily use A2SD to backup and easily transfer my apps/games back and fourth if i need to.
Any usable help would be greatly appreciated ^^ thanks.

If someone has better info please correct me if I'm wrong
1. When you install a ROM with apps2sd, as long as you have your SD card formated properly everything except for stock roms are transfered. If they were not, uninstall and install in the market and should go to SD card.
2. On fresh rom I noticed (atleast for me) that the app and app-private folders were in /system/sd/
3. All of your downloaded apps will be on your SD card. Stock apps (sprint apps and what came with the phone etc.) will still be on the phone's memory.
I use ES File Explorer and just copy the app and app-private folders when i want to backup all my downloaded apps. Pretty easy app to use and supports root.

You don't. If it's in /data, it gets moved. This means that applications that come with the phone, which are in /system, do not get moved. The symlink solution means that you cannot easily choose applications to leave on the phone.
2) Where are they on my SD card? (Could not see it when i checked the SD card)

Correct. They are on the EXT partition you created, oddly enough just like the documentation says. You cannot see this partition. If you are so inclined, you can adb into the phone and see it mounted on /system/sd.
3) When you do this are all of the apps off of the phone memory? or are the apps still able to stay on phone.

Applications shipped with the phone stay on the phone. Data directories created by downloaded applications stay on the phone. You will still see space on the phone being used.

A2SD has nothing to do with a backup solution and is not necessary for you to back anything up. Pick one of the umpteen backup applications available in the Market and go to town.

[Q] Nook Stuck on Boot Skater Screen with CM7 uSD

Seminoobie, please help. I successfully made a Nook CM7 uSD with the Size-Agnostic instructions using 7.0.2 (thanks dev). Transcend 8gb card. Worked great for three days, now it is stuck on the circle-skater screen. I let it run for a half-hour, no dice.
Running Autnootered 3.0 emmc in 1.1, that works fine. I don't have CWM installed on emmc (I want to avoid this for now to make factory restore/1.2 upgrade easier for autonooter 4), so I have no current access to Rom Manager, if that matters. I've seen some posts suggesting to clear caches with Rom Manager but I assume the uSD caches aren't in internal memory, are they? Other posts suggest partition corruption but the card worked fine before I turned it off and rebooted, and the boot partion shows up on the computer with a card reader just as you would expect.
The last thing I did before this happened was run Titanium Backup to pull the 200 existing apps on emmc onto the CM7 card. I did this by copying the entire full Backup file from a standard sd backup to the computer, then copied that file back to the /sd partition after putting cm7 into usb mode, then running Titanium in CM7. That worked fine, and I even was able to move some of the apps to the virtual SD and they worked.
I could take an hour and burn another card but wondered if I am just missing something to fix this, also if I do burn another card whether I did something wrong in applying Titanium that I should avoid again.
Also wondering if it is worth waiting for a future stable build that addresses the Nook deep sleep/battery drain issue, which seems to be in the works.
If I burn another card and get the same freeze happiness will elude me. Thanks in advance.
I assume you powered down and rebooted. I have had that happen to me and after a fresh reboot everything loaded.

[Q] Rooted X8 SD Card Memory Problem

Before I rooted my X8 my SD memory card had at least 1.3/ 1.4 GB space on it, which I am definatly sure about, but after the root it says that I have no space on it at all.
What gives, any ideas on how to fix it?
Copy all files to PC, format it in fat16 and copy files back.
Probably you have some errors on card.
Thanks! Hope that, that's the case.
It wasn't the case :L Something has taken up all the space... Could it have been the backup that Titanium Backup did? And how do I get rid of it?
The backup that is.
Just browse SD and delete you thing is unnecessary. Just make backup first
I don`t think that TB can make so big backup.
Don't take this the wrong way, but, rooting has nothing to do with the SDCard. Can you tell us exactly what is it you did until you've discovered that you lost the space on the SD?
beacuse, my theory is that after you rooted, you went and tried to install a new ROM, and consequently made a backup of the previous ROM. that's around 200MB, add the ROM you were planning to install plus another backup...
I havent changed the ROM on my phone yet. I havent got the confidence to yet. All I have done is rooted my phone using superoneclick, downloaded and installed titanium backup and apttek app manager, and then did a full backup using TB. After that I then noticed I had no space left on my sd card.
It doesnt matter as such now as I just bought a 4Gb card.
That is strange. Try exploring the card in windows. Might find out what's taking up space.

Did you select "charge phone" when prompted to plug the phone in super one click? You may have mounted the SD card and that might be the problem.
Yes, I did everything the tutorial told me to do :L

how to backup apps on micro sd card using titanium?

the other day my tablet reset. i had to download everything again. when i use titanium backup it will only backup to the tablet which it sees as the sd card which gets erased if you have to restore the tablet. there doesn't seem to be a way to change it in the settings. any way to backup my apps to my external sd card? i did search here but nothing clear came up. i am running stock with root. no cm 10 or any of that stuff

You have three choices. The first is to just copy the backup folder on sdcard to ext_sdcard. Then it does not get wiped out in a reset. The second is to use the CWM card you had used to root to do a nandroid backup to SD. That way if reset, just restore and everything is back. The third way is to use my swap zip to swap sdcard and ext_sdcard. Then TB backs up to your external card. I prefer the nandroid backup myself.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
i recently just set my backups to back up to my sd card
first thing is make a folder on the sdcard, something like TitaniumBackup
in the TB app, press Menu in the top rightthen > preferences, then down to the backup settings > Backup folder location > hit back once or twice until you are on /mnt > find ext_sdcard > then click the folder folder you made on the sd card and then hit use current folder.
I do the nandroid backup probably once every 4-5 days just to be safe in case i eff something up lol
Yea I am using a 16gb card. At first I used the wrong zip and my open space wasn't enough. Found the 4gb zip and all is well with the nandroid backup. This is the second time in 3 days I had a tablet reset. One thing I like about apple products is less crashing and such but loving this tablet for $179.

Less crashing because they don't allow you into the area where you can mess things up in the system (unless you jailbreak) Also, much less complexity with tens rather than hundreds of device configurations. I'll take more complexity, a little less stability but the ability to do what I want :cyclops:

Re-flashing a ROM Question

I just have a quick question. I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit T599n and running Beanstalk 4.4+ rom. I am having a few issues with the rom after a few month, such as random reboots, issues with PC connection (Phone only runs in Charge only mode, and phone does not pop up the option to use charge only, camera, or media mass storage modes when I connect to PC) and also no longer connects to Kies.
My question is, if I re-flash the SAME version of the rom that I have installed (I have the most recent version) over the current version I have installed, will I lose my apps and settings? Just want to know what to prepare for if I reflash. Should I do that and get to keep my apps and settings? Or is a factory reset necessary to fix my errors?
Do a factory reset that should do it .. if not it might be hardware problem.
EDIT: You can use Titanium Backup if you have root acess to backup all your apps.

Excellent, thank you.
One other question, I had a problem with this last time I did a factory reset. I have my SD card partitioned to install my apps on there (Phone only came with 1GB internal, and would only hold a couple apps) so my SD card is 32GB, with 8GB partitioned to install my apps on. I remember having trouble with them last time I tried to flash a new rom and ended up having to reinstall Beanstalk from scratch and completely wipe the app partition as well.
Ok soo if i understood , you rom that you gona flash on your 32 gb sd card and flash from that also you can get app link2sd i think its called which let you transfer apps to sd card, correct me if i am wrong.
Code:
I already have it set up that way. I have the rom installed, I have the 2nd partition on my SD card, and have the apps linked to it with Link2SD. But, I last time I tried backing up roms that were installed on that partition, I have a bounty of issues. When I went to reinstall the apps, the files were still on that 2nd partition, there were dormant files left over everywhere, so when I'd try to restore the apps from backup, I got a plethora of errors and the rom began crashing. Just wondering if there's any way to backup and use roms that are installed on that 2nd partition using Link2SD?

I see, well since you have only 1 gb of internal storage for use i dont think i can help you with that.. because backup itself take a lot of space and not sure if you can make it to backup on your 2nd partition.
Or you can try transfer your backup files to your PC/laptop and delete everything then ty doing it and transfer back to phone after.
