If someone hasn't already done this; can someone please make an app that lets you download strait to the sdcard. I only have access to a computer at home. It would be nice to download the newest ROMs from my phone and skip the computer all together.

Depending on the file, my phone downloads directly to /sdcard/download/
mine to but I want to be able to download a rom directly to the root of the sdcard. If its in a folder it won't work.

Usually you download the file directly from the webpage using a Browser, like Dolphin...

You can also utilize a terminal application and utilize the command "mv" to move from /sdcard/downloads/ to /sdcard/. Also, you should be able to install from a folder as long as you mount the system and select install zip from sdcard.
I accidently deleted status bar on my arc using titanium backup, I did make a back up before I delete it.
Does anyone can help me restore it? the restore function in titanium doesn't work... I can't see the restore file in the restore section, but I can see it in the backup folder which called "com.android.systemui"
Thanks in Advance!
P.S. The phone is a lot smoother than before tho... =S
you could just reflash the software (seus or flashtool) then do a full restore from titanium
Is that the only way I can do? Oils like everything is fine without the status bar, maybe I will just keep like this.
Thanks !!

no,
you can get the file from someone and put it back in system/app folder but make sure permission are correct
do you have lt15a or i?

sorry i was wrong, in the /sdcard/TitaniumBackup there are two files.
1.com.android.systemui -date-properties 7.16 kb
2. com.android.systemui-date-tar.gz 146 byte
, looks like it is empty after I use root explorer to unzip the second file?

I can find the backup in the recovery. But there ar eno signs of it anywhere in memory on the pc or phone.. I read it is a problem on 4.2.2... is there a way to fix it..?
If you go to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup it should be there according to some posts, although for some reason not for me.
You should also be able to see it through the recovery itself. Try going into Backup & Restore, and select Restore. It should list the backup(s) you made.

Odp: [Q] After recovery backup I can't find it in memory?
Simple copy recovery file from mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup to any place on SD card (Downloaded for example) than copy that to computer. Remember to reboot Nexus after copy to SD card. Than go to main folder and remove original file and copy on SD. You need root permission to access shell folder!

if You got backup file in CWM it should be also in shell folder... on my nexus I found it there but I didn't install CWM by toolkit. What about to change explorer to Total Commander for example? Maybe its explorer issue?

It's in /data/media/clockworkmod - use ES File Explorer and it'll be visible. Then copy it to your 'SD card' and you can remove it from the phone
Can't find it with total comander also !

Then you don't have a CWM backup. Use ES File Explorer (not Root Explorer), give it full root access and then browse to the folder and they are there. I can provide screen shots if you'd like?

Try this. Use Total Commander go to system folder tap options in right up corner of screen. Tap there search and write clockworkmod. Remove other search options and tap search. If there is somewhere clockworkmod folder you should see it.

Attached are the pictures on how to find it in ES File Explorer (View them in order)
1. Open ES
2. Go to Settings>Root Settings
3. Tick all boxes
4. Click on the 'Favorites' box (circled in red)
5. Click on the 'phone' icon (circled in red)
6. Click on 'data' (circled in red)
7. Click on 'media' (circled in red)
8. Voila - you can now see the 'clockworkmod' folder!
You can now long-press the CWM folder and 'Cut' & paste it somewhere else (e.g. 'SD card')

Re,
In your file explorer have you a setting like "view or show hidden folders / files"? If yes tick the option maybe...
Also look at /data/media/clockworkmod/backup.

Hello this is a guide to "move" you apps to your SD card for users with small Internal Storage
Update:There is now a faster way to do it.
After step 3 you just press the menu option on the top left corner and you press app analyzer.
This will show you an descending list of your apps sorted by their obb and file size.
Select the app you want to transfer it's obb from to SD (you can also choose to move its data)
Pair the data and you are done
Much faster
Much easier.
This GUIDE is for ROOTED PHONES ONLY it wont work with unrooted phones so please if you want to procced you MUST have a rooted phone
This method uses an app called Folder Mount (Free from Play Store) that allows the use to move large app files to external storage saving up internal space.
Instructions:
1) Download the App from Play Store called Folder Mount
App Link :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
2) Once its installed open the app
3)Once the app is open it will ask you for root access press "GRANT"
!!! ATTENTION AS MENTIONED BEFORE THE APP WORKS ONLY ON ROOTED PHONES!!!
4)To use the app just press the "+" (cross) on the Top Right corner this will get you to Folder Pair Settings
5)In the "Name" slot you can name the Setting depending on what you want.
5.1) Example if you want to transfer the files from Dead Trigger https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madfingergames.deadtrigger you can name it "Dead Trigger"
6) When you name the setting you press on "Source" this will get you to a file manager like screen where you choose the source of your file (MOST devices default source will be Android/obb/"game"
6.1)For Example the path for Dead Trigger on my phone (XPERIA SP) is (as shown in the Folder Mount App) /storage/sdcard0/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger
6.2) ATTENTION you must NOT sellect the WHOLE directory because that wont give you any editing or mounting options at all
6.3)ATTENTION when you are selecting the game file folder you must go into the folder (tap on the folder for example in this case com.madfingergames.deadtrigger) that will get you to the games directory so you are not choosing the whole game directory thus causing a big mess
7)When you sellect the games directory press the "check" button on the top right corner
8)After you press the cross a mesage will come up saying if you want the app to create a default destination folder
8.1) Press Yes and the app will create a default directory on your external SD (mine is /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger)
8.2)Press No and choose your custom directory on your SD to save the folder in and then to apply the changes pless the "check" button
9)Afer you set up your destination folder just press the"check" button on the top right corner to finish
9.1) I would not suggest checking the " Exclude from media scan" box
10)After you pressed the "check" button it may show up a message telling you that your source directory is not empty (you already know that or why would you bother moving an empty folder) and by procceding it may overwrite some files.
Just press "Yes" on this.
11) Now it will go to the home screen and a message on the notification bar will tell you that files are being moved.
11.1)DO NOT START THE GAME TO CHECK the work is not done yet
12)Near the name you gave on step 5 you will see a thumbpin.
When the thumbpin is Green it means that the directory is mounted on your SD saving up Internal Storage Space
You can mount or unmount all your directories by pressing the thumbpin icon on the bottom right and bottom left corner (left -> mounts right -> unmounts)
13)after you mounted your game's directory test it out it should work
!!!!Here is a demo video to help you get started!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJLJZs7oqPE
Method Pros
1)Easy to use
2)Very fast transfering the files
3)Flexible (you can mount and unmount depending on wht you need)
4)Saves up a lot of time
Method Cons
1) The Free Version Supports only up to 3 pairs
Overall a great app for rooted phones
If you have any questions post them bellow
Thank you.
Nice, thankyou very much for your tutorial, was looking around for this one. By the way, when i mounted it, i checked to see if it played, it worked. But when i went on root explorer, how come the com.(what ever game) is still there in the Android/Obb folder? Doesn't it move since it moved to another location?
And also another quick question, if the game(any game) updates, does it update to the mounted folder?
Or do i start the whole process again with FolderMount?
Thank you Very Much

When you mount a directory Folder Mount keeps the old folder in the Android/obb/"folder" so when you delete the Pair it can transfer the game files to their original directory.
It is pretty much normal!
Also i forgot to add thanks for your kind words

Jackaros,
this might sound like a Silly question,
but am I correct in assuming that the App would move Files from the Internal 8GB rom to an Actual Micro SD card?
8gb internal memory is the only thing putting me off buying this phone,

Yes,tho the free version will only allow 3 apps,the pro version us available via in app purchase..it is not much think about 86p maybe 1euro
