I have a Cruz reader and want to hack it to get rid of unwanted apps and perhaps increase it's functionality. I have tried the method to upload a pre-configured ROM update via a zip file but always get the exclamation error. Given the apparent unreliability of that method when starting with the stock reader I am seeking alternatives.
Since the device uses a standard micro SD card for its internal storage I was wondering:
Is there is a way I can remove and save the stock SD card and create a new custom ROM/SD card on my desktop then plug that into the reader.
Any help is appreciated.
I started to post this in Hacking section because I thought a custom ROM constituted a hack but when I checked that I was asking a question the board informed be this is not hacking but a question.

Hi, I've been trawling through the XDA archives and found noting that can directly help me so;
What I'm trying to do is move some [not all] apps to my SD card. My phone is GT540 running 2.1.
Ideally I would prefer to move the apps to the card on the device without rooting [I am able to root though] but as far as I know that's not possible, so I found Links2SD on market which has pretty good reviews but requires me to have a second partition on the card.
How would I go about doing this. If anyone has any better way of moving apps please tell, either way thank you in advance.
Once I install the ROM on my Transformer, can I take the SD card out and leave it out?
I am not a noob, I did search these forums and others before posting this and could not find an answer...
On my old WinMo devices, the ROM actually ran from the SD card... I am not sure of the newer Android devices and don't have another card for my tablet...
Your TF does not need a micro SF card to operate so yes you can take it out.
It's not a bad idea to have one in to make nandroid backup ect.
Hi I am completely new to this and am having trouble finding the right threads, so I apologise in advance if I am doing something incorrect. I have (or rather my son has) a ZTE V795 ANDROID VERSION 2.3.6 BASEBAND VERSION MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V4.P11
2013/09/13 14.37 KERNEL VERSION 3.4.5 BUILD NUMBER V795_T01 which I believe has a very small non-sd card internal memory. It also has a new 16GB external sd card memory. I have a Windows Vista computer dual booted with Lubuntu/linux and another running Windows 8.1 which I can hook up to the phone if necessary. First I would like to create a recovery image of the phone, so I can restore the phone to its current state, should I get something wrong. Then I would like to root the device (Does Framaroot work on this model?) with an aim of swapping the internal for external memory (understanding that it voids warranty etc.). The final icing on the cake would be to expand the "RAM"/cache, again using the sd card in place of the internal memory - please excuse any incorrect terms. Has anyone attempted these things before, and if so where can I look/ Thanks in advance,. Rob.

There is no forum for your device on XDA, but inside the ZTE Blade forum, there is a thread for questions about non ZTE devices, you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987960. There you should redirect your question. Good luck!
I'm getting a new Shield Portable and wanted to know what is the best and easiest way to move all of my installed apps, emulators and such over to the new one? I was just going to copy the folders over to the new one but I'm sure there will be problems. Also I am not rooted.
I have apps installed on the device, but I've also had the OS move some of the installs over to the external SD card to save storage, so I was certain just copying them will cause issues with updates and stuff, but I don't know for sure.
Also I have emulators installed as well and then moved them over to the external SD card.
I know the roms will be ok as they're not installed and just sitting on the external SD card.
Is there an easy way to move all of this stuff over? Any apps that would help with this? Anything?
any help would be appreciated
Hi,
I have the 8Gb version of the Galaxy J5 (SM-J500Y) and am experiencing the same problem of low internal memory that everyone else seems to be. I have a 64Gb micro SD but my computer is not recognising an SD card in the built-in SD card reader (nor does it recognise the internal camera but that's a separate issue- since windows 10 upgrade)
After doing a little research, I think I understand that MiniTool Partition Wizard should see the SD card when USB linked if it is first rooted (I could be wrong). Other option is I could go buy a card reader or get the reader working. Tips welcome.
Either way it needs to be rooted before I can use Link2SD. As I understand it, I can root the thing, but only from Android 5.1.x builds. I tried rooting it from Android 6.1 and killed it. Was able to resuscitate it with the Kies App, but can only recover it to the latest Android (6.1)... so I end up at square one: unrooted and not able to root.
How do I get it working in Android 5.1.x so I can root it? How can I partition the SD card (preferably by getting the internal reader working)? And then which is the best ROM to flash? I'm leaning toward the Cyanogenmod 12.1 I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-12-1-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3468830 mostly because it seems stable and lite.
Help please. TIA
Anyone?
Even a little help to get me started would be awesome...
