is it ok? or i have to make something special like formatting sd-card or other

No the sd card thing is just if you have a partition in it for apps. So the backup you made is perfect. It shows every time when I make one on my phone.

Really, what is happening is that Recovery expects to find that .android_secure folder where the External SD Card normally is for most Android, that is /mnt/sdcard .......
But, things are different on our phone, as our External Card is on /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
AS far as I know, and I am open to correction, there is no back-up of Apps moved to external SD performed by this CWM version.
And, I think that as far as Recovery is concerned, the external SD is on /emmc.....

/sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure != /sdcard/external_sd
There is no /sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure as far as recovery is concerned. In recovery, what is /sdcard/external_sd in stock rom, is /emmc - which is the external sd card. I'll see if backing up .android_secure from external sd card can be added.

Not sure if the updated Recovery for CM9 has addressed this issue.....back-up of apps moved to External SD???

I understand you here Irish and I read through your discussion with Arco on this issue,but in reality it appears the CWM never had any problems backing up apps; whether moved to to SD or not.I say this because I have many apps on my SD,yet successfully restored them ALL from my nandroid after flashing new stock ROM.

Hi again 2g11......
I don't dispute what you are saying at all.....
But, can I propose a reason, with some proof, for my contention regarding no backup of Apps moved to External SD??
My contention is that you are able to restore Apps which have been moved to External SD, for the simple reason that your external SD does not change it's contents, as nothing is written to it by Nandroid restore.....
the .android_secure on external SD is left intact, no back-up, no restore, no change.
As part of Android security, there are asec files in the Phone Internal memory, which are basically sym-links to the Apps which are on External SD.......
these are restored as part of the Nandroid Restore process, so if your external SD has not been corrupted, or destroyed, the Restore will appear to restore those Apps on External SD.
My evidence of no backup of External .android_secure folder/files follows...
[I have made a Nandroid backup with CWM recovery, and also used Titanium BU to back-up all Apps+Data]
By use of Titanium Backup Pro ability to extract Apps from Nandroid, I show that an App, my example is Amazon Kindle, is not included in my Nandroid Backup, but it's data is, which is in Internal Phone memory.
See Extract from Nand option and Nandroid Backup used here.
TBU Extract from Nand Option
Nandroid Backup used
This App, Amazon Kindle, has been moved to External SD:
Storage Analyser showing Kindle in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure
Below is a pic, showing the Legend [Symbols] used by TBU:
Titanium Backup Pro Legend
Now, using the above information, and the fact that Titanium Backup Pro is capable of restoring Apps by extracting from Nandroid, look at the following pic:
Titanium BU showing only Data Backup for Amazon Kindle in Nandroid
As you can see, only Data relating to Amazon Kindle is backed-up.
To check and verify this, I uninstalled Kindle, and attempted to use the Nandroid to restore, as shown above......with no success.
However, as you know, I also had a regular Titanium BU, of Apps+Data, taken at the same time.
With this I restored Amazon Kindle and data without a hitch!!!
My books are still there!!!! Thank God!!!
But, if I was relying on a Nandroid, made with our CWM, to restore this App after a SD card failure or corruption, I would not be able to do it!!!
My advice is, to be sure, always make a back-up of the full contents of your SD card, by connecting to your PC, and using whatever, e.g. Windows Explorer, with all hidden files and folders shown.....make sure all files with . are backed up
You never know when that SD card will fail, so "Be Prepared" as they say in the Boy Scouts....dib..dib...dib!!

Irish,looks to me like there's plenty of life in those 57-yr old brain cells yet.I think your explanation completely 'explains' whats going on here.So keeping apps on the 'external' SD also unwittingly protects them from system wipes as long as you make a nandroid...and as long as your SD doesn't fail you!!Thanks Irish!

Just to reiterate:
The best thing to do, and good practice anyway, back up External SD regularly.....maybe when you do other bk-ups.... like Nandroid and TBU.
Make sure that all hidden files and folders are visible ....there is a Windows setting, not sure for Linux or Mac??
This is basically to ensure that the
.android_secure folder is backed up.
The xxxyyy.asec files there are the App files, which are encrypted and "hidden" [asec = android secure]....
and they have sym links to data in Internal Memory.....
Google sure went to a lot of trouble to "protect" App files on removable memory partition.....

Yeah.....I'd say your OK.....
As long as you understand moved Apps on External SD are not backed up.....but that is OK as long as you remember to make a back-up of your SD Card, as outlined in my previous post.....just for your own data security.
Sent from my SGW GT-I8150 using Tapatalk!!

Also, just to mention the other error msg. relating to sd-ext.....like ext-3, or ext-2 partitions.
There is no problem here, this refers to Linux partition on external SD, which is used in some ROM's to move Apps, and which then appear to be on your device.
This is A2SD, by Dark Tremor....which is not supported in our ROM's....afaik!!!!
So no worries there!!!

This thread is about whether the apps stored on the external SD card will be backed up.. I'm not asking that. I'm asking is there a way for the nandroid backup to be stored on the external SD card? What settings do I need to change in CWM to do this..?

[Q] Titanium Backup.zip question

When I save a Titanium Backup.zip, is that backing everything including the programs and data NOT on the SD card? In otherwords, if I want to make a back up of just the sd card contents if I want to change/upgrade my card, do I just copy the entire sd card to my PC and after formatting the new card just copy everything back? If I use the Titanium Backup.zip won't that wipe over everything and not just the sd card right?

Are you talking about creating an 'update.zip' from Titanium Backup? Assuming this is what you're referring to, though I've never done it, I think all it does is enables you to install TB from CWM directly. I wish most ROMs would just include TB, but since not everyone uses it I understand why they don't.
I don't think this makes a backup of anything really, but I could be wrong. If you want to back everything up, that's where you can nandroid. If you want to backup everything on your SD card, then the steps you stated about copying to a PC are probably your best bet.
Just backup your sd card on a PC, format the new card in the phone (for best compatibility). Then restore everything back onto it from the PC.

Yeah, it starts out as an "Update.zip" but I choose the "Titanium Backup.zip" option. Huh! I did't know that it was only making a backup of Titanium Backup.

I'm not 100% on that, but based on what I read in that option, that's what it sounds like to me. The purpose would be a way for you to restore all your apps if you're lacking a data connection when you flash something new or wipe anything. Chances are slim, but I reckon they're there. If you don't have a data connection, there is no way to download TB and use it to restore anything else...
EDIT: I guess one way to find out would be to make that zip and see how big the file is. If it's only a few megs, then it's just TB. If it's more than that, like over 80ish, then you know it's quite a bit more than just the one app.

[Q] storage problem

Hey Guys,
it's me again haha.
So I have a problem...
I just read this about the memory of our phone:
Vyker said:
There are 3 storage options on this phone...
ROM aka Device Memory = 1GB = Where apps install to.
Internal SD aka USB Storage = 2GB = Extra space
External SD aka SD Card = upto 32gb microSD card.

So, I downloaded Backstab and need to download extra data, which are downloaded to SD...
Now I'm getting the message that there isn't enoght memory aviable.
So I looked into the file manager and saw, that all downloads,pictures etc. are saved on the "USB Storage" (→Internal SD).
Now my question is, how I can change the standard storage to "SD Card" (→External SD) , that my downloads, pictures (and of cause the data for Backstab) are saved on my "SD Card" (→External SD), where are 8GB free instead of the 72MB on "USB Storage" (→Internal SD).
Hope you understand what I mean ; my english isn't the best, I know
Thanks in Advance
Julian
I got that same problem when d/l additional data for games, etc.
Any sollution for it?

That app only moves apps from the Device Memory to the internal SD, not to the external one.
If your phone is rooted (if it isn't, I'd advise you too, although I reckon you should first research the pros and cons - and your warranty is voided), you can use ROM Manager to change the default path App2SD puts your apps into, or you can flash a ROM with internal/external memory swap.
Short version: both of these solutions require your phone to be rooted. If it isn't, then my post isn't of any help but there might be someone more knowledgeable out there who actually knows another (better) way to do this.

This is not true.......
App2SD moves Apps to External SD, if you have normal /etc/vold.fstab, with mount points as normal, not swapped.
This App is really just a GUI to do what you can do with native Android Apps 2 SD....and it gives Notification if a d/l App can be moved, i.e. coded by dev.
To actually see what Apps are on External SD, if you have moved them, use Storage Analyser free from Market.
See samples from my phone:

You can clearly see, I hope, Apps which have been moved to External SD, in /sdcard/external_sd/.amdroid_secure.
These Apps were moved with App2SD.
Also, if you look at the pic below, of Settings/Manage applications/On SD card tab.....this shows those Apps which have been moved to External SD, which have a check-mark, e.g. Google+.....you can also see G+ above, clearly in external .android_secure folder
and it also shows those Apps which can be moved, or are coded to by dev.
btw...the USB Storage message on bottom is just information!!
USB Storage or Internal SD, is intended for Storage of Data relating to Apps, Pics, Music, Game Data, etc.
USB, or Internal SD, cannot be used, normally, for Apps, i.e. as in App2SD
I see. I was wrong then. Thank you for the useful post. It turns out I was fooled by the "USB Storage" bar, since it seems to imply they're stored in the internal memory.
But I don't think that'll really solve his problem, as from what I understood, the application data is still stored in the internal SD. So I still think the internal/external swap would be the best solution for him. Specially since he also complains about the pictures and stuff.
Either way, that ended up being an important piece of info for myself, so I thank you again for correcting me.
Thanx Dusk252
You are correct re OP......
if you wish to store loads a game data or photo stuff....
I think that is what the swap was designed for....it will give you potentially 16/32G for this data....I feel you will need a good SD....like at least Class 6....
And Apps can be moved to the smaller Internal SD....which could be good.....
On my last device I needed to use DT's A2SD..with 1G ext-3 partition on SD for Apps.....so this phone is pretty good.....
Just on the OP....it is a pity that most Apps seem to be written with the /mnt/sdcard as default external Storage....
something devs should keep in mind!!!

Thanks in advance
JuLiian.
You have too ways of doing that (technically, three). But please understand before trying any of this that your phone must be rooted!
1. Manually edit the /etc/vold.fstab file (non-recommended unless you can find a good tutorial specifically for Galaxy W, since different devices might have different mount points. I wasn't able to find one, but my research took me 2 min so you might be able to find one.)
2. Replace your vold.fstab file with an already edited one. Here's a nice tutorial on how to do it.
3. Flash a custom ROM which already has this tweak. Like this one, for example.
backstab is gameloft ryt? y not try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091455 it work on asphalt adrenaline and dungeon hunter, what it does is it changes the file path of the data, so that your data can be save on your external_sd, just follow the steps there, hope that helps

Root it and use Link2SD.
You'll need to partition your microSD into 2; I recommend formatting the 2nd partition as ext2.
Lots of tutorials on how to do this.
Plus, you can configure Link2SD to automatically migrate newly installed apps to the SD card.

If you are on stock from still no need for any app at all....or partitions on your External SD.
There is native built-in Apps 2 SD function in GB, which moves Apps, designed to be moved, to your external SD.

There are drawbacks of native App2SD:
* Widgets moved to SD no longer work
* Apps needing "Boot Complete" intent no longer work
* When attaching the external storage to PC via USB cable, all apps on SD are not available
Link2SD has no such drawbacks. It does require 2 things:
1. Rooted phone
2. 2nd partition on the microSD
Those prerequisites, however, need to be done only once, and afterwards Link2SD can fully automate everything.

Hi pep....
Yeah, native apps2SD has drawbacks for sure, but the OP asked how to move apps to SD, and it is a simple built-in solution, requiring nothing more than checking a box in settings....
It is surprising how many ppl don't know about it!!
But I agree, Links2SD is a more complete solution!!
Isn't there a work round which allows use of Internal Storage as Apps partition??

if your phone has rooted, use link2SD and choose autolink in setting
Well if your rooted cause my phone is and I use App2SD and Force2SD also Titanium backup to move my apps to my external SD, there isn't really a way to force your apps to automatically install on the external SD and you usually have to manually move them but TB has one where you can move all of them in 1 go so that helps.
Hi....I have tried this Link2SD cos I just got a larger SD card...
My phone is on Stock ROM still, rooted, and original vold.fstab..mount points as per original...and using Arcos latest CWM Recovery [6.0.??].
The App works great, linking is perfect, and any app linked shows in the list in the App as linked to SD...
Storage Info shows the ext3 partition as SD Card 2nd Part. [/data/sdext2]....
just for example purposes I show 1 app linked... Antutu.....it works perfectly!!!
However, CWM does not back up this partition in Nandroid, getting the "sd-ext does not exist" message during backup.....
And to prove this I deleted Antutu, and attempted an extract from Nandroid with TB....
It shows a backup, but attempting to extract it results in TB hanging..presume it shows it becos of whatever sym-linking is there shows app as being in Internal.
I have been able to extract this app from Nandroid made without L2SD.
So, on stock ROM, is this possible?
Do I need scripting support which is missing in Stock?
Is Stock kernel OK for this app?
Is there a problem with CWM not backing up the ext3 Partition on SD??
Thanks in advance!!!

Well, I never tried extracting anything from a nandroid backup before... but if I use TB's own backup/restore facility, TB has no problem at all.
(I just tried it myself : Uninstalled Maxthon via TB, reboot (full, not quick), restore).
Of course, after restore, Maxthon is no longer linked to SD, and I bet there are Maxthon leftovers in the SD, but nothing more serious than those.

Titanium Backup and External Micro SD Problems

I'm a long time reader of XDA but I'm fairly certain that this is the first time I've ever really needed to post as most of my questions are answered by others. This time I can't find any answers so I have to post.
Here is my situation: I've backed up all of my data with Titanium Backup Pro, I do this regularly. I was running CM9 and everything worked beautifully well and all of the apps that I wanted to be were saved on my external micro SD card. Then I decided to upgrade to the new CM10 for one reason or another so I did a backup with TB then wiped my phone, installed Gingerbread, and then installed CM10 (I guess I had to, the current CM9 wouldn't allow me to flash CM10 for one reason or another).
The installation all went well but then when doing the restore with TB I realized that it was restoring everything to my phone memory and not to the external SD. It then stopped restoring when it ran out of space on the phone. Now I have data on both my external (that wasn't wiped so the info is still there) and on my phone. When I try to move any app to the external SD as I once did, instead of sending it to the micro SD card, it sends it to an internal mounted drive called ASEC (or at least as far as I can tell). Basically the phone ignores the fact that I have an external card and it won't let me move apps there. Being put off by this I went through the steps of restoring CM9 but not through a Nandroid backup. I did a full factory wipe and just reinstalled it. I didn't think to make a nandroid because it was backed up with TB. It may have been stupid but there's nothing I can do about it now.
Now with CM9 installed I'm having the exact same problem I had with CM10 and I'm confused as hell. Why doesn't it want to link my apps to the external data that's already there? Shouldn't TB remember the directory's and point the apps in that direction? I can understand why it would be confused with CM10 because the file naming structure was different (it was Sdcard1 or something like that instead of external_SD) but now I'm completely lost after reinstalling CM9. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? When I try to move any apps to the SD card it just puts them in the same ASEC folder. Any help is certainly appreciated.

SD Card Issues w/Zenfone 2

Every time I restart my phone, a notification pops up that says external storage inserted (SD card). However, I have not removed it. This is quite annoying, is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone know what causes this and how to disable it? Also, when I try to get Titanium Backup to backup my files to the external SD card, it will not work. I have plenty of free space on the SD card, it tells me I have 15.8 GB free on the External SD card so this is not the issue. I never had any problems backing up to the SD card previously on my Galaxy S4. Any help would be awesome!
Thanks,
Drew
That's normal, when you do a power off and on, it will always tell you the SD card is mounted/inserted. Did that with my Galaxy S5 also.

To access your External sd card properly you need to have rooted your phone and run the Kitkat sd card fix (available in playstore). This is an issue google has done as they want everything stored on the cloud and to stop us using sd cards altogether.
Unless you run this most apps will have issues writing to the sd card...

i am using titanium backup with internal and then cut and paste in external...i know its is annoying..but no other option for now..[as far as i know and searched]
and that notification kindoff annoying,i cant find solution till now...
Ansebovi after I wrote this post, I did some more searching and found a thread saying to download and install an app called folder mount from the play store.. It requires root but if you have that it will work. It asks you to patch the android system 2 times then reboot two times after each patch.. After that you have full access to the SD card. I did this and after I was able to backup to the sd card with titanium backup. Hope this helps.

With the Asus ZenFone 2, you can install apps anywhere you want, on sd or internal memory! No need for root

Based on mine and others experience, not true

Actually, when you first setup your phone, it even ask you if you prefer to install your apps/games on the system storage or SDCard. You can move apps to SDCard after install, this was added in Lollipop. I know because after Lollipop install on my S5, I was running out of storage space on the phone (16GB only) and had to move apps/games to Removable storage (SD Card). Deleting off your ExtSDCard is limited with 3rd party apps, file managers for example, other then the stock one, when you try to delete a file off SD, you have allow permission via Lollipop to do it, and you only have to allow once. If even tells you how to do it when you try to delete. I use ES File Explorer, no issues deleting or moving files and I'm not rooted.
