Hey Ppl
I´ve noticed my S4 have a lot of storages.
Why do my S4 have so many? :-S (See the pictures below)
I only use the extSdCard and sdcard0..

Is no one else who has so many storages?
It's there because you can plug in that much amount of external storage drives at the same time if you need via usb hub

I notice you use astro manager. it's rubbish.. was good
this is a fault with astro manager. use es file explorer or root explorer.
you don't see that much storage.

I am using root explorer and i am seeing those annoying folders. Have no idea how the folders were created.
Only connect to my linuxmint via usb to put in some movies.

I am using Root Explorer as well and see those folders, but I choose to ignore them, because they are not harming the system. Like previous posters have mentioned, it's for any external storage you may plug in.

I have got my N4 and have rooted it and have latest cwm. I did backup but I couldn't find the backup at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups.
Also, I don't see any settings in ROM Manager to switch as well ...
My glacier have sd card, so still habitual to those ...

it doesnt show in mine either. but if you bot to recovery it will show in the restore. id imagin the files are hidden so we dont accidentally delete them. if you want to delete... you can in recovery.

Yeah, that's true. I extract my backups and keep it safe, that's why I'm trying to find it physically.

es file explorer. go into settings and give it root permissions. supersu will pop up. grant. then tick favorites button. hit the '/'. you will be in root folder.

if you are like me and are not familiar with the emulator commands.
copy from root folder into sdcard somewhere. download is probably easiest. then use airdroid to transfer to pc. airdroid also lets you text from pc, through webpage, so you dont have to look at phone while busy onine. pretty neat app.
I can see the backup zip in ES Explorer, but it is not visible to windows when I connect the N4 to it. I can see all other photo files, and I even moved the zip to the DCIM folder, but I cannot see therefore I cannot make a copy of it to keep in my laptop.
how to switch cwm to create them in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups instead of /data/media/clockworkmod? i know it is possible becouse some time ago by default it was created and visible to system and know it is not (i did not change any settings, probably)
btw: on external sdcard they are created normally

Hello fellow S4 owners. Quick question, since this phone is a tad bit different from my Evo Design. I noticed on the S3 and S4 that most files are set by default to save to the phone's memory. I've rooted my S4 and backed up my data with Clockworkmod and now I can't find where it's saving these backups to lol! Just bought the phone 2 days ago and out of 16GB, I only have 1GB of free space left and want to transfer them to my SD.
Even when I go to Astro/Root Explorer, still can't find them on the phone or SD card, yet when I choose the "restore" option through my recovery, it knows where they are and displays them. Thanks in advance!
Well me I like using solid explore from the play store you have a trail .there you should be able to file any folder hit settings go to file and check hiden file then restart app you should see any folder thats hide if it hide it self . But I do believe it didnt and you just might need to check with anither file manger . And I havent rooted it yet I usually wait about two weeks to root my phone only cause I want to see what my phone could do with out root .
I will tonight if you havent found it byvthen let me know I'll more then will to help .

just an FYI, the only thing I've been able to do as far as freeing up space is delete the backups from the phone's memory. there was an option to delete in recovery which is pretty nifty. now all of my phone's memory is cleared and I backed up my ROM again to the SD.

if you are using the standard CWM then it will be saved to /data/media
agat/OUDHS/TWRP should save to sdcard

ok then, make sure you are on teh latest one and it will save to the proper internal sdcard location. otherwise it will go to /data/media or if your microsd is formatted to fat32 it can go there

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,
regards
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

I am sorry for the late answer and yes it will move the large files that take up internal SD space to your external SD and create a link between the 2 file directories

If you are rooted, use Root Explorer from the playstore.
I have used it for over 5 years and I have no problem opening and seeing all the files and folders on my s6 edge plus phone.
Good luck,
Have a great day.

You cannot upload the file from it's current location, copy the file into your internal SD card first.
If that don't work then make sure to check the attributes of the file is set to R/W READ & WRITE.
Also check your file manager's permission & attribute settings, it should be set to allow read & write.
Good luck, have a great day

i know this. but its r/w so it should work but it don't work fine,
but in the past i had it to that root browser don't copy the files completley (for example my account files) from sd card to /data/data/jp.gungho.padEN/files so some one said to use solid explorer and that worked but now it is the other way arround, it copy fine to /data/data/jp.gungho.padEN/files but not from there to sd card, it copy the files but i can not open them in a bin editor
Don't know why people are so happy with Root Explorer it's very nice but lacks a lot of features.
I've done these thing with Total commander without problems. Try that one.
ps blind me missed the part about Dropbox. Did you try to put it in (by example) your downloads folder and upload from there? Goodluck anyway!
