Not really a big upgrade... just a new modem and completely removed carrier iq... new call screen... just flash one of the el30 custom roms and try it out... I'm running sleeper... cm9 is AMAZING though and if you haven't tried it I suggest you do... viper rom is also planning on releasing an aosp ics rom too! Epic is getting some love from the devs these days! Just make a backup of your current setup and flash away... if you don't like it, your current setup is just a restore away!

thanks i did it. but i miss my legendary. which one are you running? would i be able to ask qbking 77 what he is running. or is that a rule that we cant ask?

another question
it may be a dumb one. but when i restore my app. and i move them back to my sd card is the app being double? or is it just replacing the app from before?

AFAIK, the app is not "doubled" but moved from the internal memory to the SD card, or at least as much is possible to be moved
If unsure, check your internal space before moving the app, and then after, and you should see additional space on the internal after the moving of the APP to the SD card

To answer both your questions qbking77 is currently running CM9 but changes often to make videos so may be on 5 different ROMs in one day.
If your apps are in the system\app folder it replaces them. If your app is somehow in the \data folder and you flash something that adds it to the system folder you will have 2 copies.

thanks again. with the rom you running do all your apps work? i have the rom on my sd card. have not flash it not sure if all the apps will still work. i have cm9 on my touchpad. just waiting on the fixes to hit.

and on question i know it is a noob question. but how can i change my signature. lol

[Q] move apps to sd card

Guys i need help, does anyone know how to move my apps from device storage to sd card, because i running of device storage now
thanks

Been looking for the same solution. All I came up with was that the note2 jellybean roms have had that ability removed from the roms with the notion that since the device system memory has the is not separated from the internal memory, then you'd not ran out off space for apps, supposedly anyway.

Directory bind works fine with all 4.1.2 roms and folder mount works on any rom. They won't move the app but will let you move the data.

Next time please try to be more specific, like are you rooted?
If yes you can use many app/mods
Like app2sd aka appmgr now
Link2sd
And many others

Filemount is like directorybind but better and works on 4.1.2 and 4.2.2
This question have been said on the forum more than 10000 times already

[Q] Does move to SD work for you with android 4.3?

One of the features the 4.3 update was supposed to bring was the ability to move apps to the external card. I upgraded to Omega ROM v19 which is based on the official Samsung 4.3 and I do have the option in "Applications manager", and when I click on it shows that it moved it, but free space on either internal or external storage remains unchanged. Did anybody have more success with this with either the stock rom or some custom one?

It works... somewhat. I found that it only moves a very small portion of the app, so far a big 1.5gb game, it may only move 50mb. I just use foldermount (paid version) and have at least 10gb moved to my sd card and I leave small apps on my device.

I'm using DN3 V3.1 and mode2sd is working fine..

[Q] Cant delete files from sd on custom roms

Hi, I bought a galaxy s3 off ebay so I can swith to t mobile but I want to get it set up and working how I want before I actually make the switch. So I've been loading roms for 2 days and trying them out. I cant seem to delete files from the sd card when I use any rom but the stock rom. I tried KitKat, CM11, CM 10.2 CM 10.1 and custom stock (I think that's what its called). also when I use es file explorer, only some of the photos I have on the card are viewable and some appear as broken and cant be opened. But then when I go to the stock rom, they all work fine. Id really love to have a custom rom but I need to fix this problem first. Any ideas?

What is the card formatted as? Reformat to fat32 and see if it works.

It is fat 32 already.. also the camera wont write to the card when I take a picture. a popup comes up saying cant write to it and that it will save photos on the cameras internal memory. I am going to try a different card.

Good call. That was my next suggestion. Good luck!

simplest fix without using the root that you gained would be just disable the stock samsung camera then download one from the play store....but if you wanna use the root you just gained i would say download this then extract the samsung camera from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741413 then with the root browser just delete the samsung app that you have installed and put the one you extracted in its place then fix the permissions then reboot and it should work now

i extracted it for you just use root browser to install it as a system app follow this video (same basic thing just use root browser that i provided and this apk) just instead of hitting install after you move the apk and fix the permissions reboot the phone and it will go in the system/app folder

I tried doing it and the camera just disapeared I tried installing it and said error parsing package

not that i know of :/ im sorry dude

Its okay but I have a question thats off topic but Obvisly u know how to do alot of thing I have my backup bro and its screwing up cause kit kat wont let me do the ext. Sd card I read about this fix 2. Use a root-enabled file manager and navigate to /system/etc/permissions
3. Edit platform.xml and find “WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE“
4. Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid=”media_rw” />
5. Save the changes and restart your device
6. You are now able to write on your external SD card again
How to add an additional group defintion like there saying jc thanks

Even if you sent the apps to your external SD they would still be wiped if you do a full wipe in order to flash a new rom....but what you can do is copy the apps data to your external SD with a root browser. Basically make a copy of the "Android<Data" sub folder from your Internal SD then change the name of the Android Folder then paste it to your external SD and the apps data it self will be safe even if you wipe to flash a new rom...
