Non system apps are installed in /data/app/. That's where you should find the apps that you didn't move to SD.

Hey guys. I have went from Di18 to Dk28 a few weeks back with ODIN and got my GPS working. I went to install ADFREE and it couldn't replace my hosts file. I got root explorer and noticed my SYSTEM a 258mb partition is full.
Now I see why it I cant replace my host-file..
When I go into my SD and memory app in settings it still says I have space available.. So it must me looking at a different partition.
Is anyone else having these issues? Is there a fix besides re-formatting everything? Any ideas welcome.. I really do not have that many apps installed.
Odin back to stock sounds like your partitions are mapped wrong.

Any apps you installed via the Market are stored in a different partition, so "reformatting" won't help.
The way to free up some space is to delete some junk from the /system/app folder, such as the Asphalt5_DEMO and FreeHDGameDemos APKs
I personally deleted any app which can be found on the Market, such as Amazon MP3, Facebook, Qik, etc.
It was repartitioned, just select the symlink option and it will work.
System/app is symlinked, deleting them and reinstalling from the market probably put them right back there...protected apps ftw.

No, it is not symlinked. /system/ is on a separate partition from /data. Any app you download from the Market is stored in /data/app or on the SD card, not in /system/app. This is why I mentioned deleting any apps which can be found on the Market from /system as you won't end up having two copies of the app and it frees up space on the system partition.
I just came from the inspire and trying to restore my apps, which I backed up on my inspire. When I run Mybackup root app, it says it cant find the backup file on my sd card. Sd card is mounted but maybe I need to point it to the right directory? Currently its pointing to /mnt/sdcard and I dont think I changed this on the inspire.

this backup data will be on /sdcard-ext/rerware
however, when I got the Atrix, I rooted it, then I took the "rerware" folder, copied it to the root of the internal sdcard, then ran the "restore" option, and it restored my apps just fine. however, they would not launch, they only force closed. this was coming from a nexus one, though. I used root explorer to copy the "rerware" folder from my sdcard-ext to my sdcard, fyi.
Thanks I will try that, even though I dont think I want to restore all my apps as there is some HTC stuff in there. I found the folder and I thought I copied it over to sdcard but it still didnt work. When I looked at sdcard-ext earlier that froze my phone but I wasnt using root explorer.
What I ended up doing was going into the mybackup folder and I did save my apk's so I started to install one by one, pretty painful, and of course my app settings were gone but at least it got me going. I will give what you mention a shot later on though.
Hey guys,
So recently I flashed another rom, but before doing so I did a backup within clockwork and now I don't need it anymore. I've tried various file explorers that have root access but I cannot find the backup....
Us there a specific way to delete them, an app or the directory of the backup? Thanks! !!

You don't need root access, just get any file manager and lookup for the clockwork folder in your SD card, saves are named according the date you made the save. Something like sdcard>clockwork>buckup>your save <-delete

Yeah that's the way ok, i had done a few backups and was wondering why i was running low on memory on my SD card when i remembered it was the backups i did so i deleted them and now have much more room, you really only need 1 backup at any one time anyway.
If I have apps stored on SD will clockworkmod backup/recovery take care of these - ie will it restore the apps back to the sd card after a recovery?
Thanks.
You mean sd-ext? Yes it will backup everything except photos,music things like that......

ok, thanks
Yes it backs up all the apps on sdcard. Both the sd-ext apps and the .android_secure folder apps.
During restore of a nandroid backup it will first format the sd-ext and .android_secure folder and then restores their contents to it. So it will not mess up the things generally (unless u use the advanced restore to restore the contents to a different rom).

So this would work to backup apps on Sd, then restore them back to the Sd? I got a tun of apps on installed on my Sd card.. i've been wondering the best way to backup/restore them between flipping back and forth with different mods.
Thanks in advance!
I am used to restore my apps with titanium backup after flashing new rom.
After restoring, I will move all my user apps to internal storage with the function "Move user apps to Internal memory".
Here I have to give sebastiaan15 a huge thanks for his rom "Runnymede 5.3", it's truly amazing!!!!
Let's go down to business. Because sebastiaan15's rom is really too smooth, I was thinking what will happen if I move some apps to SD card with original method?
Yap, my desire crashed. Because I moved apps with function "Move user apps to the SD card" in titanium backup and I forgot that there is some phone only apps.
Actually, I didn't know that function too much. That was the reason why I troubled myself.
Afterward I searched this issue on google. I saw much people had same problem as me and the only answer was reflashing the rom.
I've reflashed my desire without a newer backup. The last backup is few weeks ago. Sadly, my data of angry birds three stars has gone.
Here is what I want to tell you guys....
DO NOT USE TITANIUM TO MOVE APPS TO SD CARD!!!
No offense, but titanium works fine if you use it corrrectly. I have to say, I think this is user error.
But if you're using a rom with a2sd+ you shouldn't be moving anything to SD card anyway.. Because then you are splitting apps accros /data, /SDCARD and /SD-EXT which is just WRONG!

Yes, it's my bad.
Curiosity killed the cat XD
Without a doubt, titanium is the best backup software, that's why I'm still using it.
I just want to tell you guys my tragedy and I think this function is not really often be used, especially we are using a2sd+.
Thanks for your explanation of why we shouldn't move anything to sd if we are using a2sd+, have a nice day
I no longer use an ext partition for a2sd+ and have used titanium to move user apps many times with no problems.
Even with a2sd+ it should work, but its not recommended as mentioned above.
Some advise, when you are playing games and made heavy progress like your 3 stars on all levels of angry birds, if your using titanium you should back up app + data then copy your titanium folder to you PC.
Back when I was a flash-o-holic I’d make heavy progress on a game while using one rom and then I’d change my ROM and lose my data until I discovered that TB actually backs up your progress.
So now when I set a high score or beat a certain level back up app + data then you can flash and reflash and you wont lose the data.
Also if your flashing frequently I also suggest S-OFF and use the CM7R2 HBOOT and AmaRullz AD2SDX script loads of space with no need to move apps anywhere
Of course, you have to be carefully when you are using titanium backup I use titanium backup for longer time and I have never had any problem. All my apps are in internal memory and I haven't got not enought free space. As you may know you can set autobackup of your apps and system settings for every day

Hmm you really shouldn't be telling everyone not to use titanium to move apps to sd card because you made an error. It want the app's fault. I use titanium to move apps all the time and no problems whatsoever.

In order to move all apps to / from SD I use App2SD, which is all you need.
Blaming Titanium for a usage error is not fair, though. Titanium is a very powerful tool. Sometimes, those powerful tools can be used to do something "not so good".
back up
Titanium back up..... i am not use this app because i am confused !!
How is it confusing?
