hmmm... i just realise that, after flashing this port... i done a data/cache/dalvik/system partition WIPE (so full wipe) BUT... after reinstalling a rom (cyanogenmod temasek), ubuntu moved all my internal sdcard to /data/media/, and i need to manually move all again to /sdcard because the folder is now empty O.O, and created some folder (exemple /data/media/ubuntu) that can be deleted with the root right (root explorer, solid explorer...etc)

be carefull ............ some of you will needed to do a original flash by odin to restore completely there phone partitions

Hey thanks for the warning. Cause I got the game data of asphalt 7, nova 3 and real racing 3 all in my internal sd. Now I'm gonna move them all first to external before flashing

when you normal installed ubuntu touch with a clockworkmod recovery, you can easy restore with an nandroid backup.
ubuntu is extracted to the data partition, and will not move the content of your internal sd card

Maybe I was not enough clear. After flashed the rom with TWRP, I was unable to restore the rom because the backup was in the data/media/ folder and after this the recovery is looking for a twrp backup folder in the sdcard partition.. so.. not possible to restore the backup, nothing was on the screen. Sorry for my English I'm french.. so by moving files in the aroma file manager by the recovery I found a way to restore it but some people must be careful. I know how to flash ROMs and this was the 1st time that this problems appear !
Maybe because of the /0/ partition created by the cyanogenmod rom too because the rom is based on.. but the recovery was unable to see any data too, like a empty sdcard..strangely.

    In that case it should be moved to the general sub forum.

    Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

    It's a rom and is in development. So this is actually the right place
