[Q] What A Mess, Titanium Backup Drama - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Been running the latest ViSiON-X. Chugging along as normal when I decided to switch launchers, went from Buzz Launcher back to Nova Prime. Things started acting kinda weird so I tried reinstalling Buzz Launcher from a TB, thing just hung there and didn't install the backup. I'm trying to remember the order of my actions within the last 24 hours, I've been very ill past few days so my mind's a bit fuzzy. I did flash comadose either before or after I discovered this issue with Titanium Backup.
In any case, I decided to reflash the ROM and after I signed back in to Google I downloaded TB and tried to restore my backups. Nothing. No backup found and I couldn't even set my backup folder to my external SD any longer for some reason. I even had trouble installing the paid version or key for Titanium Backup Pro, either the install will fail with some kind of SD storage error message (forgive me I can't remember exactly what it said) or the install would just hang and not finish. I had to restart and keep trying until it finally installed. Ugh...
I've no idea what happened. I fixed permissions but that didn't work. I tried editing the permission file by adding the media line: <group gid="media_rw" /> but that didn't work.
The apps themselves wont be such a big deal reinstalling but the data was quite precious. The other major issue is even now I still can't set my Titanium Backup location to external SD. I've no idea why this has changed in the last 24 hours. I'm at a lost.

When I'd try scanning the entire device it would just hang on 9% and not move.
*UPDATE*
I formatted my external SD card. Before I did I checked the size of all my files and it was almost 500MB. I have no media there, I was using my external solely for my TB files so it seems the apps and data was there but no way for me to reinstall to my phone through TB.
Oh well, starting from scratch now. Reinstalling all my apps one by one from the Play Store. I still need to get an idea on what happened here and why TB was stuck on 9% like that when I was trying to scan the entire device. Other than the problem of using my external SD for my backups once again I would still appreciate help getting answers for everything else I mentioned above. Thanks guys!

Even though my data from my apps is lost FO EVA it feels nice starting from scratch. Kinda like enjoying a nice long shower after a crazy night partying but regretting to lose that girl's number she wrote on your hand. I've even configured my phone in a different way than before and I like it better. Still, I'd love to figure out what the heck happened so I don't have to go through this again. Any help would be appreciated.

download an app called sdfix and it worked like a charm. Now I can do titanium backup's on my external sd card. SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

Thanks for that! After formatting my external SD I was able to set Titanium Backup to it but I'll still keep this app on hand in case I have problems in the future. I'm still not any closer to finding out why the phone was hanging at 9% when I tried to scan the entire device looking for my previous backup or why I started having problems applying my backups before. It seemed to happen out of nowhere. Perhaps comadose had something to do with it I don't know.

@Resolute Blue kit kat has removed permissions of apps writing to extsd so stock kk which visionx is based off of doesn't support writing to the external properly. The ax man posted a fix in the visionx rom thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51811976 direct link to the post. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much! I was aware of the fix and have downloaded it for safe keeping for down the road should I decide to return to his wonderful ROM.

Cool cool. New visionx version should be dropping soon, probably with the sdfix built in and more. The current version is mod free due to the mods causing issues with the nc5 update.

Also there is a couple apps in the market under Kitkat Sd Card Fix that do the same thing

AFAIK if you have your sd card formatted to ext2-4 and the system runs into a filesystem error, it sets the partition to read-only. maybe that happened here?

[Q] SD card slow to mount at boot

I've tried searching this issue with no luck, surprisingly! I thought it would be more common.
Anyway, when I boot up my Nexus One, it takes <Sandlot>FOR-EVV-ERRR</Sandlot> to mount my SD card. I've got most of my apps on that card, so it's super annoying!
Like I've said, I've got a bunch of apps (40?) loaded on to this card, a few documents, 4 CDs... random stuff. I haven't formatted the card in a looong time... nor have I wiped the phone in a loooong time. I am a crackflasher - I flash a new ROM every day, but I VERY RARELY have issues, so that's why I haven't wiped in so long. This is really the only issue I have, and, if somebody knows the command, I would be happy to just mount the SD manually through the terminal when I need it to.
The phone is a Nexus One. I'm running a CM7.1(or whatever it is) based ROM and kernel. The SD card is the 16gig one that came with the phone.
Any help is appreciated!
Billy
Cliffnotes: What's the terminal command to mount the SD card to the phone? So the ROM can access it?
Ok, so I guess I diagnosed this issue... after rebooting my phone and waiting for my apps to become available I was able to, through the settings menu, view the space used/available on the SD card. Sooo... it is mounted? And the delay is just Android loading the apps from the SD card? How can I speed that up?
Thanks,
Billy

Have you tried increasing the read and write speed of your sd card?

Thank you for the reply,

You increase the read/write speed by increasing the SD card cache size. You can use an SD speed boost app to do so easily, there are a couple on the market. There's also a script that you can run.
I had a similar issue. I've been running the same rom for over six months, and initially just flashed updates over the existing version and only wiped caches. I'd strongly recommend that you go ahead and perform a full wipe. It may seem like a pain, but I am 95%, certain that it will fix your issue. Just backup your apps & data with Titanium Backup and after you've completely wiped & flashed your new rom only restore what you need. Weeding out unused apps should speed up your phone as well. You can always restore them if you need them.

Hi, I've been wondering why my P500 on the stock rom 2.3.3 has been taking about 4 minutes to boot! Well I just tried booting without the SD card and it booted up in about 30 seconds! Does anyone know why? most of my apps are on the SD, I also have some music. But the SD is 16gb and a class 10 from SanDisk.
Any incite would be a great help.

[Q] + [Found Workaround] - Titanium Backup not working properly, anyone has ideas?

Iv'e moved from Note to SGSIII
Backed up all user+data apps on Note,
Copied TB Folder to SGSIII Internal SD Card,
Ran TB (Pro, Purchased) and restored all user apps+data.
60% of the apps didn't restore, TB didn't complain, and if I click them in TB, i have "Uninstall" enabled, but no other keys active.
Something is messed up.
Edit:
Thanks to Zabalba,
the backups might be corrupted. Have you tried downloading one of the missing apps through the market and restoring Data only?

This worked for me, it's an acceptable workaround.
I have emailed TB, hope they solve this for other users.
Open TB let it get root close TB Reboot phone turn on USB debugging .
Try apps restore without data .

Didn't work.

It might be hanging on a specific app. Try restoring one by one and see if you can identify if one particular app is causing the app to hang.

It's not hanging. The progress bar goes all the way to 100%
And I get a notification that Titanium Finished restoring apps.
Also, Tried one by one, no go.
Those that restored normally on the batch restore are already there, those that didn't won't restore one by one either.
the backups might be corrupted. Have you tried downloading one of the missing apps through the market and restoring Data only?
I had to restore in smaller batches (30 odd apps at a time) to avoid it hanging on me.

[Q] How do you recover stock/original applications prior on flashing cw9

Please bare with me since I am still learning about android and so my question is, how can I recover my applications from my tablet after I have rooted it. since the stock/original applications takes up 8 gigs of space of my internal memory. I just cannot seem to access/delete those 8 gigs??
I flashed cyanogen 9 to my SGT2.10.1 and it was successful, although I am stuck on trying to recover my applications from the partition internal memory. Of course I have done a variety of steps to recover them and some of the steps I took are:
1. I tried using the spk tool - I really do not know how to use it and I am having a hard time figuring it out
2. Trying to delete and reformat the internal memory - was not successful since it only erased of what I currently had on the rooted and partitioned memory, thus my original/stock application are still within the internal memory.
3. I tried using applications such PC36IMG-AmonRA-3.07-gnm.zip - I changed the name to PC36IMG but flashing it lead to installation fail/aborted
4. I tried recovering them with titanium back up - but the application couldn't see my original/stock applications
5. Also tried using Astro File manager - Same results as TBU
6. Deleting the files from my pc via usb- it does not give me an option to reformat it
Any suggestions? this is the final step that I need to complete to finally enjoy my retarded galaxy tab 2
U can't run system apps from stock ROM on a custom rom . some of them probably can . Titanium backup backs up only user apps like games and stuff unless u say it to do it specifically .
So if u could get the apk of the app u are looking for , try moving it to system/app with permissions rw-r--r-- . Reboot .
If it works , buy me a beer . Or else , well do nothing. !

Everyone keep mentioning "move it to system/app" I really wish I could but I have looked through the folder many times and the 8gig of apps are not showing up. They must be hidden in another folder or partitioned. Another thing I want to add to that statement is I do not even know how to do it? I apologize if I am sounding like a total nub but what is permissions rw-r-r? I do not understand. Please guide me through because I cannot fully enjoy the quality of my device if 8 out 13 gigs is being used up with me having any access and ability to delete them. Pretty please
I also use titanuim back up, and the apps are not showing as well since prior to flashing the rom I never backed it up. I would not just buy u a beer if you could help me out on this but ill buy a KEG! from ebay, amazon, name ur online beer catalogue websites DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Go to data/app. That's where the other apps are stored. And system apps don't occupy 8Gb of space! I believe the /system partition is given only 500 mb of space.!
It must be something else that's taking so much space. If you made Nandroid backups, it will be around 2GB each. Or if you have too many files.
And about the permissions, if you put an app in /system, you will have to set right permissions.
To get an idea of it, just go to system/app and just long press on any app, hit permissions, you should see the permissions like the one in pic.
And you will have to reboot for the changes to apply.

I can't move them since I can't see the apps prior to flashing cm 9 or give them permission coz its just not showing up. This applications are BEFORE flashing cm 9 which is taking a lot of my memory. I have rebooted numerous times even formatting it as well

Pictures disappeared

I need some help figuring out what has happened. I'm on beans rom, perseus kernel, clean install. I have my camera set to save pics to my 32gb sdcard. Suddenly my pics were not showing up in the gallery. After looking around I see my dcim/camera folder has changed to the "c" looking like the pi symbol. And there is a folder called lost.dir that has all my pictures, but they are renamed with just numbers and no extension. If I put .jpg at the end of one of these files it is definitely my pics. I have them always backing up to dropbox, so I didn't lose anything, but I really want to know what happened. Anyone have a clue?

I was never able to find mine. Set the Camera to store on the 32Gb Sandisk and they were never stored. Just tried it again today using Beans this time and the same result. I dont know what the problem is, but I'm willing to wager it's a Camera bug.

Now to answer your question, this is a common issue people are experiencing with Beans and the Perseus kernel. Be advised that the Perseus kernel might be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but if you don't understand what it's doing and how it changes some of the things you're describing, well .... let's just say that you might wind up posting on XDA a question like you both have asked.
Now, not all ROMs that use this kernel have this issue, and likewise not all ROMs that use other kernels have this issue. I run CleanROM 4.5 w/Perseus 33.4 and it runs like a madman with his hair on fire.
What I would suggest to you is this:
1. If you like the Beans ROM, then try the following:
- Redownload the ROM
- Wipe your Cache, Dalvik, System, Internal Storage, Format Data, and Internal Memory (Use TWRP) and for god sakes make sure that you have saved the Beans ROM on your extSD as well as your backup.
-Reflash
-After reflashing, wipe Cache and Dalvik again
-----If you didn't select Perseus during the installation procedure (if it's offered), then after you boot up into Beans, go back to recovery and flash the kernel by itself.
If this doesn't solve the problem, then try flashing another kernel and see if that helps. PBJ and Saber are quite popular as well.
2. Try a different ROM with the Perseus kernel. CleanROM 4.5 ACE is out, it's amazing, and Perseus 33.4 works great on it. Be advised that it's not integrated into the AROMA installer and that you'll need to manually flash it in TWRP. No big deal at all so don't be intimidated. Just be advised that you still should wipe your Cache and Dalvik after flashing both the ROM originally and the kernel afterwards.
Hopefully this will point you both in the right direction!
Where are my props lol :good::good::good:
Ha, good call. I dont recall what setup I was using in the past when I had the problem, but I'm on Beans10 and Perseus that installs on his Aroma option. I'll have to try PBJ after he finishes uploading B11.

Keep in mind that you can do a separate kernel flash over your current beans install. Just go to the Original Android Development Subsection and find the Perseus kernel or other kernels. Be sure to back up your stuff in TWRP prior to flashing!!!
Btw, I updated the signature to include the donate link everyone's been asking about lol :fingers-crossed::good:

"Other" is anything on internal storage that doesn't fit the description of the other categories. The ROM alone is probably a GB or more. Also did you make a Titanium backup, or nandroid? Those take up storage, also.
I like to keep a known good ROM or nandroid (but not both, as that is excessive) on internal storage or removable SD, in case anything goes wrong I can restore with one of those (although you can pretty easily get it on the phone or SD if needed, so its just for convenience). But aside from that, its not necessary to keep the ROM zip.

Did you outright delete the nandroid, or at least move/copy to your computer or SD first? You have 17 GB free, so unless you make a copy, discarding backup data for the sake of unneeded space seems like a poor trade-off.
Do you understand that flashing a ROM does not wipe the internal storage? So anything you saved there before the flash is still there. Unless you choose the option in recovery to wipe storage, which will then of course cause you to lose any personal data stored there (backups, photos, etc.).

The nandroid is in my PC now. Forgot to mention that. I'll dig deeper into my phone. I don't really care about the extra storage space but if it's something that I can just delete then I do wanna delete it.

There are various apps to look at storage, but I find that one to have a cool and useful interface:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en
It visually shows you how much space a folder is taking up, and you can then tap on it to drill down.

Wow this a really nice app. Thanks for being so patient with me I really appreciate it. I'm not a brand new android user but when I had one before my ex took care of all the stuff like this. That's why I'm still needing help in some areas because I switched back to iPhone after my my touch 4g.
Can I delete the ROM file that I downloaded since I already flashed the ROM?

Wow this a really nice app. Thanks for being so patient with me I really appreciate it. I'm not a brand new android user but when I had one before my ex took care of all the stuff like this. That's why I'm still needing help in some areas because I switched back to iPhone after my my touch 4g.

No worries, we were all beginners at one time. For the most part, just passing on what I've learned here; and the coolest thing about XDA is that its a community where members help each other. In fact I only came across that Disk Usage app after another XDA user suggested it.
