Is there anyway I can change the mount point of a USB otg to an external SD card or at least a partition that's accessible to certain apps like titanium backup and es file explorer on Nougat ROMs? I know its mounted as mnt/mediarw/... / but it's only useful for transferring files from and to the USB and doesn't allow apps to access it which I need for storing and restoring apps/data for or from titanium since I don't have much space on the 32gb g2 anymore. Most of the time I only have about 2 or 3gb of space left which isn't enough for nandroid backups(5-9gb of space) and I end up saving it on the sd card anyway but I have to restore it to the device storage if I want to restore apps or data from it.

Or back up what you need from internal and wipe It

Your nandroid backups are probable on the internal sdcard instead of the external sdcard. Move them over to external and you should regain your space.

Hi all;
Have an ATT i337 S4 rooted and I want to upgrade my SD card from 32 to 64Gb. I do have some applications on the sd card. Using Titanium Backup Pro can I do a full backup and restore to the new SD card including applications or do I have to move applications back to phone, do the backup, restore and then move it back apps to the SD card.
Thanks

If you have a pc, move everything to your pc, insert your new sd and move everything from your pc to your new sd.
You can also do this with moving all to the phone memory (make sure to make a folder inside the phone mem to prevent merging)
Even the apps? As long as I could read everywhere the apps won't work by just copying them to PC and Back....
Hi,
Just tested here using Titanium Backup normal. It successfully backed up and restored an app that was installed in my sdcard. App was also reinstalled in sdcard.
By the way, in PC you will be able to backup internal and external sdcard only! Those folders like /data, where your apps actually are, won't be able to be backed up.

Hi, friends please can anyone guide me how can I swap internal and external storage on YU. Currently all the data like games data, WhatsApp data are saved in internal memory and are lost with phone format.
u can take backup of the obbs & other data via MTP. If rooted, use titanium backup to save game & apps data of the current state which u can later restore after formatting. Save the backups on ext. SDcard or a PC for safety reasons.
Honestly, i have no idea, whether u can swap internal & external storage.

You can try this app (requires root access)
Root External to Internal
http://download.downloads.ws/app/41392
Works on Samsung devices, haven't tried it on Yureka yet.
Look for the port number of mmc in settings.
Fill up proper paths for swapping (use root explorer for finding paths)
& swap it.
If it works fine, then only tick on [on boot] option.
Currently I am using Folder Mount
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en
for using/storing game data from mmc in Yureka.
so i opted for the 16gb moto pure and am now getting no available storage when trying to download a app in the play store. After looking into what is taking up all my space it seems twrp is 4.25 gigs. Is there anyway to have that on the sd card? I have never had this problem on older phones that were 16gigs with a sd card.
When you're in TWRP and doing a backup (Nandroid), there is the option that says "Storage: Internal Storage". If you click on that, you can change it to your external SD card. In the mean time, you can copy the backup folder from your device storage to your external storage. If there isn't a folder called TWRP yet, you can make it (or cut & paste the entire TWRP folder on your device to the SD card). Or you can just do a new Nandroid and see how it works. It usually takes a few minutes longer to backup to your SD card compared to your internal storage.
Normally, pre backup, your TWRP folder should be VERY small.
You can change your storage when flashing ROMs or apps, depending on where you've stored them... Also, if you ever restore a backup and freak out because you can't find it, make sure you have the proper storage selected.

I hadn't used TWRP in ages. I got my phone yesterday and inadvertently backed up to my internal card. I went back in and then saw the option to choose my external card. I ran another backup to the external card and I was amazed that the backup took less time going to my external card than it did to my internal card. I don't mean a little faster, it was quite faster. You would think the internal would be much faster.
Are these files safe to delete? I was under the impression that with this being a 16gb phone I wouldn't be fighting for internal storage space after owning the phone just a few days and less than 10 installed apps.
Looks like your own backups... your internal storage wouldn't be full if you bothered to use a sd card.
If one does have an external SD card, I don't recall if TWRP defaults to storing there or if you need to select external SD - something to check on for TWRP newbies.

I've found TWRP to usually default to internal storage on every run, but once you set up the path/naming for your backups it usually sticks.
It seems like you are toying around with TWRP, possibly attempting to get ready to flash a custom rom. Given half the storage is system files, you'd barely be able to backup said default files to internal storage without running out of space.
You could always backup these files to a computer, delete them from the phone to free up enough space to download a rom (of which you should verify the md5 checksum), and hope everything goes perfectly.
If anything goes wrong, you'll need access to a computer and either use some advanced fastboot commands or.. an sd card, which you can easily swap on to a computer to download custom roms or backup files.
I would recommend getting a micro SD card for TWRP backups to avoid being fully dependent on a PC or internal storage. I like to have at least two TWRP backups on my micro SD. I know this phone works with 128GB - not sure about larger.
