[Q] Can't backup using CWM - HTC Sensation XL

So I've been trying to backup my stock XL rom using the Clockwork Mod (which I downloaded from the dev forums) flashed it and everything worked fine.
It's giving me an error saying that I might not have enough space on my SD card (we all know you can't put an SD card on your XL) nevertheless I have 3.9GB free on my internal memory. Any ideas?

No there isn't a separate sdcard on the XL but there is a 8.9GB part of the 16GB internal memory that is used as the SD card and it is quite possible that it could be full if you've put a lot of music on it for example. Try going to settings/storage and have a look at how much space you have left on sdcard part of the storage...

I don't have space on my Phone Storage but I do on my Internal Storage. Isn't there a way to back it up on the internal one?

I dont think there is, well at least not that I'm aware of anyway, you might have to free some space on the sdcard part of the phone storage so you can back up. You could need up to 1GB to do a proper nandroid of a stock rom, because my backup for BinDroid is 800mb and that has stuff removed from stock...

Okay I guess I just backed it up, but once my phone turned back on it said that my phone recovered from a crash and if I want to tell HTC blabla, is that normal?

Yeah mine did it on stock rom too, but once I'd installed custom rom it didn't happen again

[Q] Droid 3 Internal SD Card to External SD Card swap

Anybody know how to do this? I found a solution for other devices, but not Droid 3. I need this pretty bad because my internal memory is getting full (11gb) and it doesn't save anything but media crap on external sd card (32gb) I need to save apps in ext card too..
Anybody interested?

Connect the device to the computer, transfer files to the external SD card (leave the folders alone). Done.
Or you can use Root Explorer and transfer the files...

Thanks for the reply, but I thibk you misunderstood me.
What I meant was that I would like to switch my External SD Card to Internal.
Since the phone saves everything (like apps) in the internal memory (except media files)
I want to use my full 32 gb sd card as internal mem instead.
I hope I explained clearer this time
You have to edit the mounting points in /system/etc/vold.fstab
I've done this on previous devices, but haven't done it on my D3, so I don't know if it will break anything, so do a nandroid before changing anything.
Do you happen to know how? Thanks.
Sorry. I want to keep this alive.
Check out this post from the CM9 thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21032236 . I am not sure if it can be used exactly as is for a Gingerbread setup, but it should at least give you a good starting point for what you need to edit in order to make it work for you. I know this was already mentioned, but MAKE SURE you have a nandroid backup and to be really safe make sure your phone is charged more than 50% in case you wind up having to do an SBF. If you were not aware, you can't program this phone when the battery is below 50% and it won't charge unless it can boot, so you can see the problem you will encounter if you brick your phone with a low battery.

He is trying to permanently swap the internal and external SD cards so that his 32Gb external is used as the primary storage and to accomplish this he will have to edit a few files in system. The link I provided earlier should get him the info he needs to do this.

[Q] Changing default path for installation apps

Hello guys,
I'm sorry if this was a repeated question.
But i was wondering how we can change our default installation path on galaxy note?
Because the problem is everytime i download something from google play, its installed in the phone memory which is only around 1,5Gb
What's the use of 11Gb that we had on usb storage then? Can we somehow change the default path to usb storage?
And i don't want to use external SD card. I think that's all, thanks guys! Waiting for your respons!

I've tried that and it refers to the original function of move to sd card from the application settings. And it didn't work it says couldn't move not enough storage space and its because i dont have any sd card insert.
Therefore 11Gb usb storage only useful for extended game data and photo or music?

Using App2SD you can only move some part of an app to the 11GB (called as SD card or internal SD) memory..also, you cant move each & every app, since some apps needs to be on the Phone memory (memory which shows ~2GB)..I am using App2SD to reduce the load on Phone memory..it wl b useful for apps/games, especially which r bigger in size..what I believe is the more you keep the Phone memory free, the more faster your phone will be..

Thats a better option..buy a 32GB memory card & move all the stuffs like movies, music, photos, docs etc etc etc to it..use 2GB+11GB (in built memory) only for apps, games & their data..
Even 64GB card works on our Note, as per the below thread:

but i wonder you were talking about moving apps 2 sd
However, i moved all apps that are movable, i have no pics, videos, music or whatsoever . Yet, the internal storage gets full very fast to extend that i can't update apps anymore
I hope during the last 4 years someone figured out a solution

So that we can make external SD card react as our internal storage by doing this we can directly downloads every thing on our SD card and can install more HD games.
Usually 1 HD game have 1GB to 1.5 GB Data and 5 to 6 games fill up all 11 GB available Internal storage in our device, but if we exchange our internal storage with our SD card than we can fulfill our requirements by using a 32GB or 64GB Sd card

3.3) press the mount button
3.4) Now click on play button which ever game you like to play

does External swap has anything to do with the RAM?
Swap is normal terminology for offloading the least used data to slower drives. I suspect that the op is asking for a way to use the memory card as internal storage, and vice versa.

Sorry I could be very wrong here, in that case sorry. I thought OP was referring to making a swap partition on the sd-card and using that as swap. I've seen people do this on 'low-RAM' devices to increase multi-tasking a bit. That's why I wondered what he was up to since he has 2 gigs of RAM.

yep he's looking to swap internal storage with ex-sd, I would like to be able to do that too, I have like 2gig left on internal and a 64GB card only being used for camera, photos, videos and very little music
was using that on the XZ but I stopped using it for some reason, don't remember what it was

Hmmm well you could try simlinking your internal storage to your external sd-card, or only do it for specific folders. I never tested this by the way so I have no idea what could happen if you do this, but it's an idea.

Mount issue with internal SD Card-is there a permanent fix?

Thank you to all the developers on here.
I recently wiped everything, flashed the Baked ROM and got the following error messages when trying to use the camara:
---------
No Storage
No external storage available
Insert an SD card before using the camara.
-------------
I have just over a gig available on my internal card and have 27 gig on my external card. So the capacity is not the issue. I also can't download podcasts since it is giving me a similar error message.
I tried sdswap but when I went to reboot, got stuck on the boot animation for a half hour.
I then went into cwm recovery, wiped everything and tried the AOSP ICS 4.04 ROM, but ran into the same issue. I then wiped everything again and tried the AOKP 4.2.2 ROM and am still getting the same errors.
My phone works fine, but I can't take pictures or download any attachments till this gets fixed.
I searched the forums for the exhibit and saw some temporary fixes.....but all of those fixed are gone when phone is rebooted. I don't want to have to do a fix after every reboot. Please help.
Thanks,
David

This is bizarre, I wonder if your device is/was/has gone bad? Also I would avoid SwapSD unless it's been determined the ROM is 100% compatible based on user comments. Those things cause more problems then they solve sometimes. Also have you checked file apps like ES Explorer to see if your cards are being read? Check settings/storage and if you are getting reads on all three storage elements then something else is at work. In that case IDK?!

Thanks. Es file explorer recognizes the external sd card...but clicing on storage (internal sd card), it says its unmounted.
I rebooted into cwm recovery... mounted only the internal sd card, rebooted, and es file manager still says it is unmounted. You are probably right, probably a hardware issue, but it's weird how if I go to system settings, storage, it tells me how much available internal storage I have available which implies the internal sd card is mounted...

During my recent trials, I have learned that you can't mount your ext sd card with CWM, but you have to do it with a computer (at least, that's what I read). CWM was not recognizing my ext sd, either. I did not spend time learning how to get the ext card recognized, as I was worried about solving other problems, but I do remember that CWM can't mount your external card.

Nope--- this whole thing is due to me being a NOOB. NOOB's take notice! Don't be like me.
I realize what the problem was....after switching to baked bean ROM originally, I did a backup with cwm... not realizing that the back up would take most of my internal sd space.... I had less than 100 mb left on the internal card and so the internal card shuts down, even though it has plenty of space to take a few pictures or download some pdfs... it just wasn't accessable.
I freed up another 100 mb on the internal... and lo and behold I can take pictures or download. Now I have the option when using the camera to use the external sd card (not sure why it doesn't give you that option to begin with)...
I was looking at the wrong setting earlier.... I saw I had .96 gig available... but that must have been the ram...not the internal sd card.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time.... I am back to the 4.2.2 AOKP rom and loving it. Sorry everyone.
Hey, I'm kinda having a similar problem (since it's similar and from my lack of posts I cant post on the 4.4 thread. I thought I'd ask here ).
When I flash the 4.4 ROM, it seems my external and internal sd isn't mounted, it gives me an "invalid path" when using Es File Explorer.
Not sure if this is a problem everyone has and it's not fixed yet (If its even a problem at all), or I'm just having this problem, lol.
I'm not receiving this problem on any other rom I flash just the 4.4.
Note: I wipe Dalvik, Cache, and Data. I also tried wiping my system and Ext SD. I tried to Google a solution, but all I found was weird ritual answers, like take out battery and sd. Wait 5 min, while you wait, do the Hokey Pokey, lol.

Nope--- this whole thing is due to me being a NOOB. NOOB's take notice! Don't be like me.
I realize what the problem was....after switching to baked bean ROM originally, I did a backup with cwm... not realizing that the back up would take most of my internal sd space.... I had less than 100 mb left on the internal card and so the internal card shuts down, even though it has plenty of space to take a few pictures or download some pdfs... it just wasn't accessable.
I freed up another 100 mb on the internal... and lo and behold I can take pictures or download. Now I have the option when using the camera to use the external sd card (not sure why it doesn't give you that option to begin with)...
I was looking at the wrong setting earlier.... I saw I had .96 gig available... but that must have been the ram...not the internal sd card.

Unfortunately this is a bug with 4.4. The internal card actually should show up twice in ES Explorer (4.4 ROM only), and only 1 path invalid. The external card has path problems in Titanium Backup and RAM Expander. This is why I ended up not using KitKat for this phone.

Ahh, thank you. Yea, I really wanna use it, but I guess I cant till a solution comes along.

[Q] I'm out of free space, but how??

I'm running Kitkat 4.4.2 from insertcoin. The Storage space is 25.4gb, and I'm using 16gb of it, but my phone says I'm out of free space. I tried Clearing out all my data from my SD, and it still said my SD had about 10gb in use. I'm thinking maybe its some system data, but what part of the OS could be taking up 10gb?
Also, I've got some sort of audio dump going on under /Data/Audio that I have to keep deleting through android commander. how can I turn off the auto audio dump?
You have any nandroid backups? Each of those, including data, will be around 2-3 gb. In TWRP they are in a folder in the TWRP directory. Don't know about CWM.

This happened to me once. The way I dealt with it was I transferred all of my important files (e.g. pics, vids, nands, etc) to my computer, then formatted the internal storage and installed a fresh ROM.
and its still okay? I tried that about a week ago, but I didn't flash a fresh rom, I just reformatted the storage partition and I gained about 6gb, which has now disappeared.
Try a few storage apps from Playstore.. I can't recommend something but there are a few which will get you a good idea.
reinstalling the ROM seems to have fixed my problem, but now I've got a new problem. I guess I should make a new thread for it though. thanks for the help!

try downloading diskusage from the playstore. it should give you a pretty accurate view of your completely usage and where its coming from and then you can go about clearing space up
