[Q] Apps data to SD card - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First to start I dont want to root my S4 mini LTE, od flash anything I dont trust on it, or lose my OTA updates.
Second, I suffer from low internal memory problems. For some stupid reason it sees my internal storage as an SDcard.
So I have tried installing Link2SD, App2SD, Whatever2SD, NOTHING seems to work.
Now does anybody have a solution that could solve my problem ?

Probably yes.

I used Folder mount but with the MJ7 rom it doesn't work also. Nobody knows where the problem is.
I've asked many peoples but nothing.
So I've tried mount from terminal, it works in terminal, but mouned points are not visible in Android programs too.
It is really sad....

BTW, I've searched and found only one thread to the topic "How to replace Knox bootloader" but it's for Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Here it is:

[Q] Memory problem

I try apps2sd but it doesnt working.
first I have 900mb free on SD,and 7mb free on internal memory.
If I try to move apps from phone there isnt any apps that can be moved on SD
So I can install some bigger apps or widgets.Please someone help
I dont have rooted phone so i cant move all apps to my SD
p.s.Sorry for my english
because dont have root, same apk isn't move to sdcard
But how can I than get free space
You have to have root. You can try deleting the cache of apps you don't use much. But without root, that's about all you can do.

Root your htc then install data 2 sd and link 2 sd These two apps will do it But remember after rooting u wont be able to update your firmware.

just place the root.zip into the root of your sd card. Then in clockworkmod recovery, press choose zip from sd card, then click yes to the root.zip file. It should be rooted after that. Its very simple.
But you can also use the other tool where you click 1 to prep device and 3 to root or something like that.
Remember to thanks if it helped =D

Rooting is nowhere near the problem it used to be. You can safely root using the method described. Just follow the instructions carefully.

However, you could root any of the ways and use the app triangle away to reset the flash counter

I do recall reading something about doing the opposite, temporarily unrooting in order for the OTA to install properly then enabling root again, but I can't for the life of me remember where or how it was done. It was just a tap of a button is all I can remember. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Inside the root programs SuperSU or Super User, there are options to select "Temp Unroot"

No they will not restart upon a reboot. This is your best bet imo OP. As well as the easiest.

Actually I was trying to remember OTA Rootkeeper, but it's nice to know of this method too. Once you install OTA Rootkeeper it allows you to temporarily unroot.
Clear and safe temporary rooting?
I have no need for custom ROMs etc, just want to make complete backup, perhaps remove some apps and for curiosity try to run some game data analyzers. Can I do this with temporary rooting and is there some clear and safe howto for the S3 (currently seems to have JB 4.1.2) ?
What I want is to temp-root the phone, do some magic and then after restart use the original rom without root.
(Little OT, but if I do a permanent root and then unroot the phone, will I lose some data? They talk about "wipeout" and it sounds like a permanent lose of data.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ari

There is no such thing as "temporary root". You either have it, or you don't. You have the option (through root access) to remove root when you are finished with it.
You will not lose any data. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
I didn't answer the how to question because the answers are in the stickies.

/system fs full

Hi everybody,
I create this thread to clarify some points. As you could check I have created another thread to root my GIO http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087678 without any success
After so many testings I have discovered /system filesystem is full, this fs is only 208MB so I rooting packages cannot any file in /system
Could somebody help me to free space in this filesystem?
Thanks,
fsosson
I assume, stock rom & firmware?
The only thing I can imagine at at the moment would be a complete erase & reflash with Odin so that there would be enough memory in /system for installing the root-exploit.
Installing the root-exploit was the first thing I've done.
Did you check your free space on /system? Is it really full?

I've been faster than expected, I pushed the latest rom available on sammobile then rooted it successfully, at this time the phone worked fine.
Then, I used CWM recovery to push cyanogenmod cm-10-20121204-UNOFFICIAL-gio.zip but from this time the phone does not boot:crying: then I pushed pIcm-10.1-20130111-UNOFFICIAL-gio.zip with no more luck :crying:

[Q] sd card 4.4.2

I've been using the same 32gb sd card since my gs2. I just transfered it to m919 and it worked just fine since then. But ever since I updated to 4.4.2, I can explore the sd card, but I can't move or delete files. Any suggestions?

KitKat was the first version of Android where OEMs fully complied with Googles initiative to restrict App access to the SD Card. Apps that before could read and write to the SD Card can do so no longer. They may only use the internal storage. There have been many discussions as to why Google made this change but no one knows for sure. It sucks hard.

Yes, you can Root it without bricking. You can use the link in my signature to use CF-Auto-Root.
However, it will trip the Knox flag in the bootloader. What that means is that the phone will set a flag that you have installed a custom recovery, and so therefore you've messed with the phone. Some people are worried that this will mean that you can't have warranty work done on the phone. Some say that no one checks this. I don't know the answer to that. Some people say that using ODIN to reinstall a stock image will remove the flag, but I haven't tried it to verify it.

edit firmware stock

hi all, I would have a question to ask you since you are more experienced than me .. I would like to know if it is possible to modify an original firmware and then install it via odin so that the guarantee is not affected, such as removing system apps that are not needed to nothing and remove that annoying beep that you hear every time you turn up and down the volume ... thanks to all

No it won't work. But you can do it and flash it on via twrp and yes you'll need root.
Many ppl has done that and they call it custom rom.
