1. Root Lava Iris 402 / 356 by Framaroot
Select the Framaroot 1.6.1.apk in the below link from your opera mini browser – select save – select open and select install.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
Thanks Alephzain
In Framaroot → select Boromir. After success message reboot your phone.
Now you have Root access.
2. Install Busybox
Go to Playstore and Install Busybox by Stephen (Stericson)
Open Busybox give root permission when prompted.
Wait for few minutes to complete smart install analysis, then select install then select smart install without making any changes.
Busybox is needed for executing modifying commands.
3. Increasing Internal Memory for installing more apps
Make 2 partitions in your SD Card as primary partitions using minitool partition wizard in windows / gparted in linux (be careful to change only sd card and not computer partition)
1st as FAT32 (primary) for storing DATA, Music, Videos etc.,. (say 6.5 GB in 8GB SD Card)
2nd as FAT32 or ext4 (as primary) for linking apps with link2sd – balance memory in sd card (note: kernel supports ext partitions)
You can also resize partition. See link below on how to partition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844
Thanks bakpinar and sanny5
Install Link2SD from Play store → select Fat16/32
→ if it says mount script created. You can link your apps to 2nd partition through link2sd.
→ If it says mount: no such file or directory –
Install Mount /System (rw / ro) and ES File Explorer from Playstore.
Select Mount R/W in Mount /System app.
Copy the below script in notepad++ in windows (not notepad, google it)
or gedit in linux
or download the file posted by raveesh84 for fat32 partition in 7th post below
or if you want to type using your phone install droideditfree
and save as install-recovery.sh and copy the file to the folder /system/etc/ (after enabling Mount r/w as said above)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/system/bin/sh
# mount vfat 2nd partition from sd card
sleep 2
mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2
mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note : Replace vfat with ext4 in the above script if you want to use ext4 partition.
Read the above script horizontally in phone.
Thanks to Kierrok
Note: Copying and permission setting will happen only after Mount R/w.
Permission setting for the above file -> Enable Root explorer to ON in es file explorer by going to menu --> tools --> root explorer ON. Then long press the copied file in ES file Explorer -> select more -> select properties -> select change under permissions -> tick all the read, write and execute except write by others.
Reboot phone. Link2sd will work now. Link apps, don't create mount scripts.
Note:
1. Install big apps first and link all 3 files in it, otherwise small apps take space in internal memory & will not allow installation / linking of big apps.
2. If you restart your phone you might get low space error, immediately open link2sd - sort apps by lib size - select top 5 or 6 six apps one by one and link the lib file (link vanished due to restart). Space error will go.
4. Increasing RAM (SWAP)
The phone already has 190Mb internal swap. It is too low.
Install Swapper for Root → put value 756 → select active at boot. Class 10 sd card will work better.
You can also further increase SD Card speed with installing SD Speed Increase → setting kbs based on class of sdcard to maximum
and set on every boot.
Now we have overcome the twin limitations of LAVA IRIS 402 to some extent.

Class 10 sdcard would perform better for swap, also increase sd card speed.
Useful apps for lava 402 / 356
-------------------------------
Android firewall - restricting which app to access internet in WiFi or mobile data. (Enable mediaserver and download manager for tube mate and play store to work respectively. Also enable android related things to WiFi and / or DATA, will be useful in case of lock due to wrong patterns)
Greenify - making apps that you are not working on to sleep
Tubemate (from opera app store) - to view or download YouTube videos in lesser data, 320x240 resolution would be good enough.
Thanks for the guide. Worked perfectly on my lava iris 356.

Dear sir,
I wish to start with my thanks about your internal memory upgrading blog.
I have purchased new Lava 402 Smart Phone. I am getting message as "the phone storage does not have enough space. please release some storage or change the default write disk in the settings" while using camera. But I checked in my mobile settings, there is no option to change the default memory settings to write in SD Card. Please help to come over from this issue.
I didn't had any problem with camera. It is storing images to SD card only. Has your SD card detected ? Re insert card properly after switch off. If this also not works try installing any other camera app from play store.

Hello friends, this day I share a tutorial on how to optimize the internal memory of our young and other android phone with that said let's start.
WE NEED:
-ROOT EXPLORER (ANY VERSION)
-A PARTITION ON SD CARD MINIMUM OF 500 MB
-LINK2SD
(I do not take responsibility for damaged memories, telephones etc.)
INSTRUCTIONS:
( Before recalls have already made your partition)
-OPEN LINK2SD AND MOUNT THE PARTITION SELECT THE SD EXT3
-REBOOT YOUR PHONE
-WHEN YOUR PHONE ARE BOOTED AGAIN GO TO LINK2SD
-GO TO SETTINGS
And untick the 2 next options:
"relink lib files at boot"
"relink dex files at boot".
-NOW GO TO INSTALL LOCATION (IN SAME LINK2SD)
-AND SELECT EXTERNAL
when we have done all this and we're done with Link2SD
-AFTER THAT GO TO ROOT EXPLORER
- ROOT EXPLORER WILL AUTOMATICALLY IN THE ROOT OF PHONE (IF NOT YOU NEED GO TO THE ROOT MANUALLY)
-NOW IN THE SAME ROOT GO TO THE FOLDER CALLED "DATA"
-NOW GO TO THE FOLDER CALLED SDEXT2
-IF YOU HAVE ANY FOLDER, APP OR FILE IN THIS FOLDER DELETE ALL
-IF NOT NOT XD
-NOW PRESS BACK BUTTON TO RETURN TO THE FOLDER DATA
-NOW COPY NOT MOVE COPY THE APP, APP PRIVATE & DALVIK CACHE FOLDERS TO THE SAME FOLDER (SDEXT2)
-WAIT
- WHEN EVERYTHING HAS BEEN COPIED
-MAKES A PROLONGED PRESSURE IN THE APP FOLDER
- SEVERAL OPTIONS APPEAR BUT YOU NEED SELECT THE LINK TO THIS FOLDER OPTION
-PRESS BACK BUTTON AND SELECT CREATE LINK
-MAKE THE SAME WITH APP PRIVATE & DALVIK CACHE FOLDER
- WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED RESTART THE PHONE AND READY!
sorry for my english
why open a thread for already posted guide which is the same?

You need to be rooted and i recommend use root explorer
1) First guys make sure you have the apk or else pull it from /Root/Data/App
2) Copy that apk to your SD card and install it as a normal user app (Like a usual APK)
3) Go to /Root/Data/Data
4) Find the app then go to it and open the folder (eg. com.android.camera - Camera)
5) Go to file called "lib" in the folder (com.android.camera)
6) You may find one or multiple files in it. (eg. abcd.so ) copy it or them to your SD card
7) Uninstall the app and reboot the device
8) Take the apk from SD card and copy the apk to /Root/System
9) Select the file and change the permissions of the apk under select permissions
10) Tick all the boxes under read and only the first one under write and click ok
11) It should look like rw-r--r--
12) Then cut the Apk and pate it to /Root/System/app
13) Copy the the Lib named like. (Eg - abcd.so) to /Root/System and change the permission like you did with earlier apk but cut (Eg. abcd.so) it and paste it to /Root/System/lib
And reboot and enjoy

Hi guys,
yesterday I flashed my Sony xperia m (C1905) single sim with this custom rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/orig-development/rom-aosp-nougat-7-0-t3448481
And also I flash the gapps here: http://opengapps.org/ Arm, 7.1, micro
First, I unlocked my bootloader - all fine
Second, I install twrp recovery as boot.img
Then I go into recovery mode ->install custom rom (zip file) from sd-card and the gapps (+ wipe cache etc.) - all fine
After this, I setup the Android 7.1 correctly, and all apps work very nice...
But then, I download the fx file explorer, see here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx
I installed it and want to create a folder on the sd-card, but then a error appears, which says: "Access was denied: write access is not enabled".
But I already give the app the permission to access the sd-card in the settings.
And if I use a app like Backup & Restore (Backup APKs), and select as backup folder the sd-card, it works fine...
But why?
i solved the problem, you have to go to sd-card (Media card) in fx file explorer ->next click on the three points on the right top, a menu appears, you scroll down and see "Enable write access". Click on this and select in the next step the Media Card/Sd-card.
Now is the sd-card writeable by fx file explorer.
Moto G5 XT1676
LineageOS 15.1 / Magisk 16.0
PC: win7 x64 pro
i connect my phone per usb to pc and select transfer files
in the explorer moto g5 i can select and i can navigate through all my folders(internal and sd card)
e.g. titanium backup folder on the internal storage i want to copy the backup files to my win 7 pc
i select 470 files press copy and select a folder on my win7 and paste... but no files would be transfered.. no message pops up, and nothing is transfered
i tried same with pictures to trasfer them.. can select them(they are all in the folder on internal storage) copy them and want to paste them in a folder but paste process just wont start without error message
same happens when i try to copy files from th external sd card....
problems seems to hunt me down on every step i do ~_~
If doing a media rescan doesn't help I suggest you take a logcat whilst trying to copy files and give it to the rom developer
Use this app to media rescan - you may get several force closes whilst doing it - just click reopen app or something like that - also make sure there is no USB connected whilst you scan
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.house.noranuko.mediarescanner
As a work around you can try enabling adb debugging & then using adb to pull the folders
Or
Boot to recovery & try copying the files whilst in recovery (my official twrp fully supports MTP but I don't know about the 64bit version)
in short, fixed the transfer problem by installing "MyPhoneExplorer"
