Nope - unless your formatting your internal SDCard the backup should still be on the phone even if you Odin 1 Click back to stock.
And.. if your really paranoid - you could always move the backup to your computer's hard drive then pop it back on after you update/restore

restored means (reinstalled, or you used an app to backup and restore the apps?) What firmware are you using?

Forget the backup. Try installing an app on the market, save/move to SD and see if it's recognized.
If it is recognized and able to open the app, then the app used to restore your apps is the problem.

And your post is confusing. Be straight to the point next time. I believe this is not an SD issue. The app you used to restore the backup is poorly coded. Just reinstall them one by one if they are available in the market.

[Q] Wiping everything on SD Card

Hi I would like to know if it's okay to delete everything on my SD Card and then flash a new ROM. I want to do this because there are a lotttttt of useless folders that belonged to some apps which I deleted. So is there any problem if I wipe everything on my SD Card? I will of course leave my ROM zip file in it to flash it. But is it okay tho? Thanks in advance!

If you had backedup your apps with titanium backup you lose it all. And when you format your sd-card you lose that Rom you're gonna flash.

Yeah dude its ok. When you flash the new rom it'll create a new android folder for all your system junk.

Does Titanium keep the backups in it's own folder, or in each apps' folder?
So could you wipe everything but the titanium folder, then restore apps that way?

In its own folder, just like cwm keeps your backups in one folder.

I need to clear up my SD card, so I'll delete everything bar that folder.

[CWM][Script]Storage Swap for 4.2 ROMs

I modified the original script to work for our mount, and then put it in a flashable to flash after flashing a ROM to have storage swapped right away after booting. No need to manually move the script to /system/etc/init.d any more.
Let me know if there's any issues.
Thanks to original script author and others who figured out what mounts are which.
DOWNLOAD
Script info:
extsd2internalsd is a modification that allows to switch internal sd to external sd and viceversa. With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff. The result is a very big increase of installable apps on your device.
All credits to Mattiadj of xda forum for the idea and script and to mike1986 for the cmw zip.
Script Modified for U.S. Galaxy S3s by Zedomax at GalaxyS3Root.com to be compatible when sdcard is not inserted.

This is ONLY for 4.2 custom ROMs with unlocked boot loaders of course. Not tested with stock 4.1 or CM10 (4.1) You are welcome to try it though and let me know the results.

Gotta do anything to save time

Strange, after loading the zip and went to the storage menu i see the same for internal memory and there is no external sdcard now.

I lost all of my game data. I have TB but I can seem to get it to stick with root explore. I'll format both sdcard and the external , reinstal the zip and hope that I can get it back.

If you formated both sdcards you pretty much deleted everything you had there mate.

To me both of my cards still showing on cwm. How i tell if the job was done correctly. The attachment show no changes for internal but external is not there anymore as it reads internal space

I can't get 4.2 to read the storage in settings correctly. I put a specially named folder on my external SD card and when it shows up as internal I know it works. You won't be able to see the external SD anymore which is now technically the internal.

Formatting SD cards won't make any difference here. All were doing is telling the system one is the other.

I have my game data on my computer, I can't seem to make it stick so I can restore my games to where I was last playing.
I haven't formated anything. After I flashed the zip my data went away, but on the other hand I can see the data folders in root explorer.
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

To undo just delete the script in /system/etc/init.d
This isn't doing anything obtrusive guys its just placing the script for you is all.
Its recommended you do this after a clean install of whatever ROM you run.
As for the game save data I will swap the storage and then OPEN each game to make it create the corresponding folders and then restore

Does it work on 4.1.2 Mexico Retail debloated?
What if i have apps installed and my mmry card is also filled?

Seeing as how it says 4.2 roms only what do you think man? You can try it to see if it works though. You really want to do it on a fresh rom install.

Working like a charm, thanks dude :good:

Anyone have a problem installing apps with this script? Every time I try it give me an error Not Installed

Side loading from the SD card gives me problems yeah. I actually went back to default and just use the symlink method for Google music.

[Q] Can someone please help me... PLEASE...

I have been trying to delete these apps off of my Note3. When I delete or uninstall them they re-appear after I reboot my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this has me completely stumped. Thank You....

have root? if so get root uninstaller.
i don't remember those apk's specifically tho. not sure where you got that stuff. do you know what it is?

You've been visiting naughty sites!
Try force stop before uninstalling.

Daily motion, lucky patcher, etc. I tried to force stop before uninstalling and that didn't work. No naughty sites.

Looks like these are on your SD card. Did you try backing up internal storage, removing external SD then delete? Might have to do some SD house cleaning!

No I haven't tried that. What would be the process?

Backup internal storage to PC, then go to settings/general/storage and select format SD card. Do the same with your external SD but use a card reader with your PC. Delete the apps again and reboot. Hopefully the rouge apps will not reappear. Then copy the files you know back into internal storage. Try not to over write anything in internal storage unless you're sure you know what it is. Same for external. Format SD card then copy back the files from the backup you made. If you're not sure about a file, don't copy it back to storage. Hopefully this will take care of the issue. It's also good to clean stuff from storage that serves no purpose. Good luck!

If I format my internal sd without backing it up what will I lose? Im not worried about anything on it getting lost.

Everything you see in that directory when you view it on a computer.. You will loose all photos, music, games and any other personal data or apps you have downloaded or installed. You will basically have a new phone with only stock apps and data on it.
