Move apps from ext to internal memory?

Hi,
I wanted to move some apps from the ext-partition of my cm6-based rom back to the internal memory. I tried moving the apk from /sd-ext/app to /system/app with ES-File Explorer but this broke the apps (FC). Do I need to move more files or is there another trick to get this to work?

Try moving app from data app to system app. I use root explorer for this and works fine

I've got no "app" folder in my /data/ folder

If you're using estrongs I'm not sure you'd see it. Root explorer works for me but ADB is another way to do it. If you have an ext partition on SD all downloaded apps will go there but some file managers I used don't access bits of data on my SD : )

[Q] Deleted /storage folder in Android File Transfer

When using the Android File Transfer app on my Mac, I saw this folder named "storage" which doesn't have much in it and so I decided to delete it, which wasn't a good choice as I found out everything in the internal storage was wiped.
Is there any chance of getting the lost files back?
Now whenever I connect my phone to Mac Android file transfer app doesn't show up the internal storage folder anymore.
Panicking.
Help!!! Anyone?

It's gone now. You'll need to restore the factory image to get the internal data in order and then re-root/setup the phone

The folders are maked by the apps,there are some cached files and data files.By deleting them,the apps data may be deleted.
Here .gps folder maked for yours gps datas and the svox for pico.tts app,which controlles the text to speech settings.By deleting them you will not have any major problem.But the datas for the apps will be deleted.And you have to download the text to speech data files one more time,if you delete svox folder.

Files questions

This is from a newbie, so please forgive me if these questions are too basic. They are about a rooted 2013 Nexus 7 running Android 4.3 (55j).
1. Using ES Explorer I see that two folders take up a lot of space :
a) TWRP with 2.16 GB almost entirely in the backup folder
b) Titanium backup with 1.72 GB
Can I move the Twrp backup folder to a pc and delete it from the tablet?
2. Moving the Titanium backups doesn't make sense because they are set to create backups ever so often, so they will just recreate themselves. Correct?
2. I really like ES Explorer, but the Local section in its Fast Access bar has 3 predefined locations.
Is there a way I can add other locations to the local section? How?
3. The Nexus 7 does not have an sdcard. I noticed that it has an emulated "storage" folder that essentially duplicates the sdcard folder.
Question :
When I save or load something into/from an app, does it matter whether I save to the emulated folder or the one in the sdcard folder.
Why are there emulated folders?
Thank you all.

This emulated sdcard folder (/emulated/0/sdcard) is needed by the Android system to provide a space accessible for apps to save their data because there is no real SD card existing. If the device is not rooted, this is the only folder that you can edit. As you are rooted user, you could save files anywhere, but I don't recommend it.
The /sdcard folder is just a link leading to the same folder as above so it doesn't matter what folder you use.
Hope I could help you!

Need a link2sd type app

I'm looking for an app that will work with me phone (s4 jftle cm11 ktoonsez) that I can link a folder from my main memory to my sdcard (eg modern combat 4 obb folder is 2 gigs alone) and move the files to my external SD card (sdcard1) while the app still "thinks" the files are on the internal original folder. Amy suggestions? I tried folder mount but it just made a copy of my files and the apps never worked if I deleted the original files.
