[galaxys3lover]

I ve been on PAC 4.2.2 for awhile , loved it , i want to go back to TW for now , go back to ksr007's Purelook v8 4.1.2 .. since i am downgrading , i just wanted to make sure how to go about it?.. is the usual wipe before flashing a rom from philz enough?

I would recommend backing up your /sdcard data to PC first and using a mega wipe. Don't forget~:
4.2.2 /sdcard = data/media/0
4.1.2 /sdcard = data/media

Also Philz by default uses /data/media/0 as /sdcard too, so you'll need to toggle that setting to data/media if you want the recovery to find your data.

Data/media/0 is the same as the internal storage , so i need to back up all 11gb? ?

Yep. Mega wipe will erase it completely.

Lets get the terminology correct please. Internal storage (as shown in settings > storage) is not only /sdcard (which is /data/media/0) but actually it is in fact, ALL of /data.

All your apps and settings will be in /data/app and /data/data and you should back these up with titanium backup. You only need to copy /sdcard to your computer.

I copied the 0 folder to my external sd card , but it wont show up on my pc.. ! .. what do i do?

 

[danarama]

Im really not sure why this is so difficult. Plug your phone into your pc via usb and put it in MTP mode. Open windows explorer and locate your phone Drag your data off.

This is an every day task. Im surprised we need to keep going over it
