I am trying to install apps in my external sd but on the settings>apps the "move to sd" option is not present (my s3 have that). I installed Appmgr III and got this error "device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Moving apps to SD function cannot be supported by this device."
My device is rooted with stock rom installed. Foldermount app also installed.
How do i fix this?
Hello..I have LG Stock Rom on my G Pad. Never rooted..never installed custom Rom. But I can not install apps to external SD storage too..and they told me that LG G Pad 8.3 does not support installing apps to external storage such as SD.

Foldermount can move the app data to the SD card for you. There is an option, app analyzer to determine the size of the different data files for the apps. It's just a matter of a few clicks and you will see the internal storage shrink as the data files are moved to the SD card. The apps will remain on the internal memory though. I personally wouldn't be too worried about that as typically the large files are all the data / support files and the apps are relatively small. In most cases anyway. Personally I have about 60 different apps with their files running off my external SD card with no issue. All moved via Foldermount.
i also used folder mount and works fine. now can i also ask, i've rooted my tablet using this methodhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553192 can i now proceed in installing custom recovery or do i need to do something else before i do so? i want to flash cm11 nightlies
Nope, that's it. You should be good to go to install custom recovery. Here is the version that I used.

Nope, still running stock. Was going to upgrade to Mahdi but a couple of initial bug reports had me wait. Those have been fixed but now with the official KitKat version right around the corner I decided to wait. Thus rooted, but still stock with TWRP custom recovery installed.

You should be able to update via OTA if you're on 4.2.2 stock with a stock recovery. At this point, though, you may not be able to install a custom recovery after you update.

I'm not sure if the custom recoveries have been adapted for the new release. I've read some accounts that indicate that they are not available yet. If they're not yet working, I think they will be soon. Keep an eye on the discussions about the stock updates to see if anybody is able to install a custom recovery after an OTA update.

Hi,
I have a rooted HTC Desire and S-Off, presently running on Runnymede AIO. Its a beautiful rom and i have created my partition for extra storage. I realised after installing the rom that the camera does not function properly.
I wanted to reinstall original HTC Desire Gingerbread 2.3.3 which was previously installed ensuring that my device remains rooted and s-off and my partition is also maintained to avoid any internal storage issue.
Can anyone help me with the same.
Zakir
Here is something I made, it's made from official GB RUU and has a few changes (added a2sd, init.d support... You'll see there). You also have rom there that's just rooted and nothing else changed.

Ok im guessing you have clockworkmod. I would recommend flashing a rom. Find one here, and download it to your sd card. Boot into recovery choose wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, advanced>wipe dalvik, install zip from sdcard, find the rom you downloaded and then flash it.

I personally wouldnt even install that rom. Its pretty old and unsupported. I would recommend this rom. It will be faster, and have better battery than the stock sense rom. Why not create a partition? It will allow you to overcome the low space of the desire and install lots of apps. And it honestly isnt that hard as shown in this guide. If you need more clarification feel free to ask me.
If you really want that stock rom, then go with the deodexed version.
Ok i think i will try that rom and is it on gingerbread.

Theres no need to install link2sd as there is an a2sd script built into the rom.
As for a launcher you can just go to the play store and download a new one, or if you really want xperia home you can get it here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j7bsvuavhzy1s9f/Launcher2.apk
You need to download it and put it into system/app using a root file explorer, then reboot.

Yea you probably borked everything with the install of link2sd. You should do a full wipe and reflash the rom. After reinstalling the rom dont install link2sd or anything like that. A2sd is activated by default so as long as you created the partition properly it should work fine automatically.
OK, I'm in a bit of a pickle and am hoping that someone with more knowledge can help me out. This is what I did.
Rooted the phone
Installed FreeGee
Installed TWRP through FreeGee
Copied a new rom to SD card
Entered TWRP and ERASED EVERYTHING BEFORE MAKING A BACKUP
Couldn't load rom from SD card
When navigating through the TWRP directory, there is a folder titled SD card. I thought my ROM would be in there, but it is not. I know I should have done two things that I didn't.
Backup my data
Copy the ROM to root folder like the instructions said to,
But I didn't do those thing. Now, I have a phone that will enter TWRP, but I cannot get it to find any ROMs I put on the SD card. Is there anything I can do to remedy this situation that I have caused?
Thanks an advance for your ideas.
Try connecting the phone to your computer and manually copying over another ROM.
If you didn't copy it to external card, and you wiped internal, then you don't have an operating system and need to use LG flashtool to get back to stock.

The TWRP that I am using was the one click install from FreeGee. It looks like this is not the hacked TWRP. When going up as many levels as I can, this is what I get. For future reference, do you know where I can get the hacked TWRP?

When I do that, I can only choose internal storage. I'm guessing that's one of the reasons there is a hacked TWRP.

IIRC, the hacked TWRP is merely to ensure that the Official CM builds (which are marked for e986 only) can be installed on any LGOG Pro phone. You should still be able to see the external SD even with the FreeGee TWRP. Try fooling around in TWRP a little bit and see if you can get it to recognize the external SD.
Fixed It
Well, I tried looked throughout TWRP and could not find a resolution.
What did work was LGFlashTool and madmacks awesome instructions. Thanks everyone for your ideas.

OK, next time, if you forget to backup before you flash, boot your phone into TWRP recovery, select mounts and then mount usb storage, connect your phone to the PC and you should see in "my computer" the phone as a drive, copy the ROM you want to flash to that drive, if it is a CM ROM remember to copy the Gapps also. Disconnect from the PC and then continue with the ROM flashing procedure that we all are so familiar with. This way it saves you the trouble of having to go back to stock again in order to flash a custom ROM.
Glad you got it fixed.

Im not sure but its not that i tried to backup a stock version of the latest legit ROM from samsung and it failed and phone restarted and now it show like 500 mb's left on my phone. I check all files on the phone and nothing is taking up space all the files on my phone together is like 2gb. not sure whats wrong. I installed a different rom to check if thats a issue with the stock Samsung ROM but nope it still same.
EDIT: I just tried to format the DATA partition which it shows takes up 12GB but didnt do anything.
Well if you're running an older version of CWM, you will have issues with any 4.3 roms, stock or not. I would firstly upgrade to the latest version of CWM, and then if you can, use a root Explorer either on your phone or laptop to see hidden files.
I personally had an issue due to having an older version of CWM, and I had a few gb of data hidden behind a bunch of nested 0 folders.
If you still don't see anything, then maybe a format of the internal SD thru CWM is in order. Hopefully you have/are able to back up all that info before you need to do that tho.

Can someone point me to directions on sideloading 5.0.2 for the Nexus 7 2013 wifi edition?
I'm on 5.0 with root and wanted to take the OTA to 5.0.2 but when I try to install it, the tablet boots into TWRP recovery and I don't know if I can do anything from there.
I tried downloading 5.0.2 from a website and using twrp recovery to flash it, but it failed. Maybe it wasn't for the wifi tablet.
I looked into reinstalling stock recovery but it doesn't seem all that easy.
If someone can even just point me to a thread with some info, that would be great!
Easiest thing to do would be to download this ROM and flash it in recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../rom-factory-stock-rooted-rom-lrx22g-t3004110
I was able to get sick recovery back using the nexus root tool kit. I wiped data and cache but I lost everything... Pictures and documents as well as APS. I knew I'd lose apps though.
I did a backup with TB but the backup for wiped out as well. I never change the settings in TB, so the backup was made to the tablet and not the SD card.
I had a few things saved to the SD card and they're gone too. It really sucks that I lost my photos. I didn't have a lot nor anything really important but still. I could never figure out how to get the camera to save photos to the SD card and not internal storage.
Anyway. I gave up for tonight. If I try to take the OTA update, the tablet reboots and I just get the android on his back with the error message. I'm going to try removing root and see if that helps. I'm back to stock otherwise.. Nothing frozen and nothing uninstalled.
