For Titanium Backup, can I change the backup path to external SD card? In the "General" tab, it only display the internal memory and internal SD card but not the external SD card.
Similary for RMaps, can I place the offline map to external SD card? Cuz its default path is internal SD card /sdcard/rmaps/maps, and it seems it cannot be changed.
Thanks.
For titanium backup yes:
open your preferences, and scroll down to backup folder name (under Backup Settings) the syntax for me is:
/mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD/YourDirectory/
Good luck
Oh to open your preferences start TB, and click on the menu touch button (left most one)... Select Preferences
Thanks a lot!!!

I have a Galaxy Tab (T-Mobile version). The file locations on this version are somewhat different than most other Android devices. Specifically, the internal memory is partitioned into a system/user area and an area that it identifies as "sdcard". I have an external micro SD card and it is identified as a folder on "sdcard" called "external_sd". By default, Titanium Backup places the backup files on the SD card. Unfortunately, on these T-Mobile Tabs, that means that the backup files are actually located on the internal memory. I would really prefer to have the files located on the external SD card. I can't find any settings in TB to change the location of the backup files. The only alternative I can see would be to manually copy the files from the "sdcard" to the "external_sd".
Thoughts...opinions?

Just change the backup folder in Titanium to external_sd/TitaniumBackup.

Duh.....I can't believe I stared at this issue for as long as I did and didn't realize this. I was trying to find some setting in TB that would allow a change to the External storage location (which can't be changed), not realizing that I could achieve that using a full path name for the Backup directory (which can be changed).
Thanks!

oops, wrong forum
Is there any benefit to allowing rom manager partition my sd?
Value of partition SD "I think"

I wondered the same thing at first. I believe the value of this is if you do not have an external SD card installed which allows you to move apps from internal storage (first 2G of your 16G internal SD). When you partition your SD then it looks like you have an external SD so you can move apps that support that to save space on that first 2G. I'm not sure if this is all completely correct but the main point I believe is that there is no value if you have an external SD card.
That makes sense. Is there any disadvantage to having an app on the external sd card? Will Titanium Backup still see it and do it's thing to it?
I don't believe there are any disadvantages. TB will still backup apps on the external SD and I change the backup folder to "external_sd\Titanium Backup". After I flash a ROM which clears all user data, I simply reinstall TB and change the backup folder to the external SD location and all the backups are still there so I can restore.
I just did my first flash - before I did it i backed up all my apps and data to my external SD card using titanium backup pro - i just reinstalled it - how do I get my apps back ? (i am rooted with busy box)
I tried batch but it didn't search my external SD card -- how do I get it to search there ?
the default backup directory is at /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup which is the SD Card not the External SD
If your backup files is on a different folder try to rename it to the default location or change the Backup Folder Name on TTB's settings.
I try to restore my apps with titanium backup.
But i discovered that i cant find any missing apps in my phone
Those apps' data are in my external sd card
So how can i set the sd card as main storage?
Assuming you only want to restore your backups, simply enter Titanium Backup, click Menu/Preferences/Backup Folder location, click Detect, click Whole Device, then choose the correct backup folder and click "Use the current folder".
After exiting preferences you should be able to restore your TBs.
As for the mounts, I've yet to see anyone successfully create a CM-like mounting scheme for stock ROMs.
Hi,
My phone is installed by a pre-rooted MM rom and currently it's working welll without any problem.
But I found out one issue for sd card name.
internal memory name is under 'sdcard'.
sd memory(External) name is under 'storage/9016-4EF8'.
I think some app's data is not moved to sd card(External) due to that sd memory name.
For example, I installed "Day" app and data is saved both 'Internal' and 'Ext' in Link2SD app and App2SD app.
I checked file location for the app using 'Link2SD' but app's file location is still in the Internal.
Internal - Data(Data in Link2Sd) : /data/user/0/com.osmino.day
External - Data on SD Card(Data(Ext.) in Link2Sd) : /data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day (Why internal???)
So I could not move data to Data(Ext.) because it's already recognized Data(Ext.) to extern SD card.
I think External SD Card file location would be like this "/storage/9016-4EF8/data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day".
How can I change sd card and internal name or move to external sd card to move to external SD Card?
Do you have any idea?
Thank you.

There are several paths to the external SD card with MM
/storage/exfat_uuid
is probably the shortest.
Download a copy of root explorer and familiarise yourself with the new MM file structure, it's not complicated, it just has new names from LL.
Using apps to move other apps onto the SD card doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
Let the Sony app manager do it.
thanks for reply.
then how can i move data to real external sd?
my storage is not enough so i need moving.
i think some app try to install data in external sd. I think many apps try to find sdcard named. currently sd card is internal memory. and exact sd card name is storage/9016-4ef8. i think that's why my internal memory is not enough.

Take the SD card out, save the data on it, then format it
When you put it back in your phone and it asks you what to do with the SD card, DO NOT format as internal storage. This feature doesn't really work, or if you do get it to work. then it's really buggy and apps can't use it.
Once you have the SD card working, just use settings/apps/*your app* In the first bar down it will say where the app is stored and if you click on it, it will give you the option to move it.
