Can't use SD Maid, busy box error - RAZR i Themes and Apps

Hi
I just bought this amazing phone, and as on my previous androphones, i wanted to install SD maid, if some of you knows this app.
installation went well, anyway i was unable to use it, after having required the root autorizations, i meet a busybox mistake.
i installed busybox, but it didnt solved the problem.
Any idea to help me please?
thx!

SD Maid is talking about it's own busybox, which should be located at /data/data/eu.thedarken.sdm/files/.
Usually it's own of these:
- There is a previous installation remaining, where the current install does not have access to.
-> Make sure after you uninstalled SD Maid, that the directory /data/data/eu.thedarken.sdm does not exist.
The busyboxes SD Maid has, are not compatible with your cpu's architecture.
SD Maid currently supports ARM and MIPS processors.
-> If you have a different one, it will not work.
After a bit of searching it looks like your phone has an atom processor, send a mail to [email protected], it shouldn't be too difficult to add support for that.

Thx for reply!
yes it is the message i got.
I wrote you on the support email

To bring this thread closure:
The issue was that SD Maid had no busybox that supported the ATOMs x86 processoro architecture.
Future versions (2.0.2.2+) will support it, a beta can be found here.

The beta already support it perfectly
Using all the functionnalities with no problems at all

Working Firmware
The firmware for the momo9, visual land connect 7, Micromax Funbook work on the 7 inch dragon touch tablets.
I am running 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on mine now.
random noob question: how do you root this tablet. i have tried superoneclick and binary's method, neither worked.
thanks and peace
Unlock Root is what i used

I've got this here: http://www.amazon.com/Google-Android-Capacitive-Screen-Gsensor/dp/B008OIH4DQ
So far the Unlock Root is the only thing I've found to work at this point.

just to reconfirm: the free version of unlock root does work.
have not tried flashing firmwares from the tabs listed in the third post though. anyone have a link to a confirmed working cwm recovery for it?

Could you please give me/share a detailed outline of how you were able to update your tablet please?
Dragon Touch
The Dragon Touch Tablet is a better looking momo9 clone. I have tested almost every firmware for momo9 and clones and they all work. You use a program called live suit to install the firmware. You can also install cm9 with the momo9 comp zip 1.2.0 by Christian Troy. Only problem is hardware keys are messed up.

Let me begin by stating I do NOT think it is worth it to flash different firmwares. The reason for this is that at this point in time there are no roms designed specifically for our device. As such any rom you flash will likely have bugs (see the above post; also I tried multiple times with multiple versions of Cyanbook, a CyanogenMod port for the Micromax Funbook, and each had the following problems: no autorotate, the internal sd (the 5.31 mb part) shows as damaged, the external sd is recognized as the internal sd, the camera does not work, and the soft back, home, and recent buttons don’t work). Furthermore, even if you should find a reasonably bug free jellybean rom, upgrading to jb would ensure the inability to use Chainfire3d, which is needed should you be interested in running games like Shadowgun or Epoch. Thus, modifying the stock firmware would seem to be the most logical option to get the most out of this tablet. At this point I would also advise avoiding Pimp My Rom, Android Tweaker, Seeder, task killers, and ram management apps; some yield less than favorable results and some conflict with V6 SuperCharger, which imo yields optimal results. So now that we have established it is probably not prudent to flash a different rom, how can we relatively easily modify the stock firmware so as to maximize for efficiency and utility???
***Obligatory Warning & Disclaimer: Although all of the following mods are proven by my empirical results, I take no responsibility if you cannot follow directions and brick your tablet :silly:, but I will periodically check this thread and provide what little help I am capable of should anyone have any issues . Also to be on the safe side I would advise ensuring at least a 50% battery level before undertaking any of these steps; an unexpected shutdown may have deleterious effects :crying:!!!
***Note: If while following this guide you find your performance getting worse (e.g. laggy, slow boot and load times) don’t worry I too experienced such things at various points and the last step “SuperClean and ReStart” will make all the mods work together as an efficient whole. Should you opt not to use V6 SuperCharger you should still wipe your cache and dalvik cache once you are done making changes, after wiping caches reboot (I would advise not interacting with the device for 5-10 minutes in order to allow the dalvik to rebuild without interference).
***Giving Credit Where Credit is Due: I take no credit for any of the following mods, methodologies, or apps (with the exception of figuring out how to extend the usb host capacities and the actual modding of the vold.fstab file not the general method). Links are provided to the relevant original posts/threads, so be sure to check them out and give the posts thanks and the threads five star ratings (don’t forget me if you find this post useful)!!! :good:
:laugh: Now on to the fun stuff (be sure to read each step in its entirety before proceeding with it; reading all the steps before doing anything would also likely be wise):
1. Factory Reset: This step is totally OPTIONAL, but it would be cool if someone did it as it would allow that individual to make an as near to stock as is possible nandroid backup that would be permissible to post to this thread/forum. Obviously you can backup/restore all your apps and data with titanium backup, rom toolbox, or a similar app. I would appreciate it as I instituted a number of these mods before I found a viable cwm (don’t know why as I never plan to go back, lol, guess it’s just a sense of completeness or something) and I imagine our buddy chris0488 would appreciate it too as it would allow him to return full functionality to his device. Note: I would advise resetting if you want to switch your internal and external sd cards (see step 7), although I believe you can just copy all the contents of your internal to your external sd prior to the switch and be good to go following a reboot, but I am unsure if this works with the asecure folder (the folder with all the stuff moved to sd card via the native apps to sd function). In my opinion, wiping and restoring later seems cleaner and safer.
2a. Gain Root: You can use the free version of Unlock Root [warning: this will change you pc’s browser homepage, add a search bar, and a few add-ons; luckily all the changes can be undone with minimal effort]. It is a simple oneclick program: enable usb debugging (settings>>developer options) and unknown installation sources (settings>>security) on your tablet, connect to pc via usb, do NOT enable storage mode, run Unlock Root and follow the prompts. Note: You need to have the proper driver installed on your pc prior to running Unlock Root; Koush recently released a universal adb driver, check it out here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-driver-for-windows-that-actually-works-on-8/ .
2b. If already rooted and if you did step 1 reinstall SuperSU.
3. Adding ClockworkMod Recovery [warning: this is a cwm 5 based recovery that is not fully functional on our device, it does NOT backup the contents of the external sd, but aside from that it works as it should]: Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702299 and download the zip from the first post to the base directory of your internal sd card, unzip, install the novotools apk, run novotools, select ‘flash recovery.’ You should get a toast that reads something to the effect of ‘recovery flashed.’ To test if it worked reboot in to recovery (this can be done via novotools, settings>>backup/recovery, or by powering off and then powering back on while holding the vol+ button), make a backup, and reboot. Uninstall novotools as it is no longer of use. If you did step 1 please post a copy of this backup. Note: Should you ever do a restore and all your data is not fully restored just keep restoring it and eventually cwm will get it right (this seems to be a fairly common issue with modded versions of cwm). Also note that should you switch your internal and external sd, cwm will backup the actual external as if was the internal, which is good, but for some reason when using the standard backup option that normally writes to the external sd (post-switch this would be the actual internal sd) it writes to the internal sd (post-switch this would be the actual external sd), which is not a bad thing, it’s just a bit odd imo.

4. Chainfire3D: This is more for gamers, however some report more general performance gains; in my experience I noticed no enhancements aside from the ability to play previously unplayable games. You can install it through the playstore or you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427 (don’t bother with the pro version as the per-app settings do NOT work). Don’t worry cf3d is compatible with our stock version of ics, just do NOT use nightmode. The first time you run the app you will need to install its driver (just install the normal one, as I understand things I do not think the experimental one would benefit our device), which requires a reboot. Upon rebooting you will find cf3d is missing from the app drawer, simply reinstall it and you’ll almost be ready. Run a search of xda or on google and download the plug-ins, place the zips in the base directory of your sd card and install them using cf3d. After installing them you can delete the zips. Now have fun experimenting with the settings and seeing what games you can get running! Note: As noted numerous other places don’t forget to turn off all the default settings when not playing a game that requires it; the reasons being battery drain and image quality degradation.
***The following three steps require a root file manager (e.g. root explorer, es file explorer) so go install your preferred app now.
5. Adding Full USB Host API: Have you noticed the limited nature of your tablet’s usb host abilities (e.g. you can plug and play external keyboards, but you cannot communicate with thumb drives and game pads, despite the fact they are being powered)? Well the reason for this is that the developers forgot or neglected to include the requisite permission. To remedy this quandary you need to manually add it. Download the xml file I made here http://www54.zippyshare.com/v/23184268/file.html somewhere on your device. Using your root file manager select the xml file for move or copy, next navigate to the system/etc/permissions directory, mount r/w, paste, set permissions to rw-r--r--, mount r/o, and reboot. You can now use thumb drives and game pads! Note: You will need a mini on-the-go (otg) cable in order to connect with devices that need to be powered and you will need an app (I recommend USB/BT Joystick Center 6) to get game pads working unless you can manually install the proper drivers.
6. Touch Response & Scrolling build.prop Tweaks: Via your root file manager navigate to the system directory, mount r/w, copy the untouched build.prop file somewhere safe to act as a backup should you ever want or need it (root explorer will automatically make a backup for you named build.prop.bak), go back to the system directory, open the build.prop file with your root file manager’s text editor, and add the following lines to the end of the file:
debug.performance.tuning=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
ro.max.fling_velocity=12000
ro.min.fling_velocity=8000
ro.min_pointer_dur=8
view.scroll_friction=0
save, exit, ensure permissions are still set to rw-r--r--, mount r/o, and reboot. Note: The effectiveness of build.prop tweaks are debatable and I added these tweaks after supercharging, which also helps touch and scrolling, I think there were some marginal gains in sensitivity and speed, but it could just be placebo as such you’re probably not missing too much if you skip this step.
7. Switching Internal & External SD Cards (modified vold.fstab): Although there are a number of apps and scripts that can move data and apps to the external sd they all have downsides like ram consumption, getting killed, being tedious, being laggy, and requiring special partitions. I believe the best way to get more really functional memory is to hard switch the internal and external sd cards by using a modded vold.fstab file. Warning: This will introduce one minor bug, after you disconnect your device from your pc when using usb storage mode the internal sd (post-switch the actual external sd) will not automatically remount, the solution is simply to reboot – although this is marginally annoying it is a small price to pay and you can avoid it for the most part by using a wireless file transfer app (I like Airdroid). To make things a bit easier on you, go here http://www36.zippyshare.com/v/75650346/file.html and download the zip I made. Extract it somewhere on your device; you’ll get two files vold.fstab.bak (this is a copy of the original file you can use as a backup) and vold.fstab (which is the file I modified). Using your root file manager navigate to the system/etc directory, mount r/w, delete the vold.fstab file, go back to where you extracted the zip and select the modded vold.fstab file for copy/move, navigate back to system/etc, paste, set permissions to rw-r--r--, mount r/o, and reboot. Check to see if it worked by going to settings>>storage. Magic! Note: I am using a 32 mb class 4 Sandisk and performance seems the same if not a little better, but should you use a different class or manufacturer your results may vary. Also note that if you decide to do this make sure your actual external sd only has one partition and that it is formatted to fat32. If you have multiple partitions the switch will not work properly and I am not sure what will happen if it is formatted differently, but I imagine the switch would not work as the actual internal sd is fat32.
8. Ram Swap: Fortunately our stock kernel supports swap, which basically allows background things that are consuming ram to be pushed on to a portion of a sd card. In order to take advantage of this option you must use an app or script and there are quite a few of them (many of which require a special partition), I recommend Swapper 2 because of its ease and lightness (it eats around 2 mb of ram), plus it’s free. Install it via the playstore or grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821071 . Once installed, run it, and from its main settings menu enable run on boot, safe unmount, and safe remount, also set your swap size and swappiness (I personally use 256 mb/60; you can probably set the size to a lesser value as I never come close to use it all). Now go in to its advanced settings menu and enable recreate swap file and reformat swap. Finally go back to the app’s main screen and turn it on. Give it a few minutes to set everything up and you’ll be up and running. You have just expanded your ram! Note: Many of the steps in this guide could be done in any order, however I strongly advise doing this after switching your internal and external that way the swap file is created on what is actually your external sd. Warning: Swap may degrade sd card life.
9. Reinstall/Restore Apps: If you did step 1, now is a good time to reinstall or restore your apps.
10. Debloat System Apps: Using your root file manager navigate to system/apps, mount r/w, delete unused/unwanted apk files, mount r/o, and reboot. Check this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Barebones web page out and use it as a general guideline for what is safe to remove. I personally deleted livewallpapers and livewallpaperspicker, replaced the stock launcher with apex launcher, and replaced the calculator, recorder, music, and musicfx apps with tiny apps (floating). To turn a user app in to a system app navigate to data/apps, select the desired apk file for move, navigate to system/apps, paste, ensure permissions are rw-r--r--, mount r/o, and reboot. Note: These tasks can be accomplished in a more automated fashion using apps like titanium backup or rom toolbox.
11. Force Apps to SD: I assume you have used the native apps to sd function to move all the apps that would allow it, but usually there are still a few large apps stuck on your internal storage (the 1 gb part). Use an app like Droidsail Super App2SD to force the larger apps that do not support the native function to the sd; experiment and see what apps can safely be moved, most games can be moved without change in performance (e.g. lag, load times).
12. Adding Init.d Support: Init.d is basically the ability to run scripts during the boot process; it is not really needed, but it makes supercharger better as you will not have to set script manager to run on boot. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849 and download the app from the first post, install it, run it, select enable init.d support, select verify to check if it worked, and you’re done. Uninstall the app as it is no longer of use. Damn that was easy! Note: I am not sure if the version of busybox installed with Unlock Root has the needed applet so you may want to install a newer/different version of busybox via one of its many installer apps or use the supercharger starter kit [see step 13] prior to this step.
13. V6 SuperCharger: As preparation go to the playstore and install Script Manager. Next head on over to the main thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 and check it out; I cannot sing my praises for this script loud enough, it rocks harder than ledzep. After you read through the first two posts of the main thread go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021 and download the newest starter kit. Extract the zip in the base directory of your internal sd (if you did the sd switch this would be your actual external sd), run the StartMeUp.sh script with superuser permission via script manager, and follow the prompts (note: SuperSU’s su binary is good and will avoid errors, you should just run this to ensure busybox has all the needed applets and to add sqlite and zipalign). Now go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39519682#post39519682 to grab the latest V6 SuperCharger script and go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914159 to get the latest Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools. Extract the Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools zip anywhere on your pc. Next connect your tablet to your pc via usb, do NOT turn on storage mode, run the v6 supercharger script with superuser permission via script manager, follow the prompts and you’ll be supercharged in no time; as the first post in the main thread states, ‘it will hold your hand and explain things as it goes along.’ Be sure when you get to the “Jelly ISCream” phase to choose the manual option and use the Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools (all you have to do is run the ultimatic .bat file). Also I cannot stress enough do not forget to “SuperClean and ReStart.”
If you followed steps one through thirteen you should now have a mega-dope-fresh-fly custom rom with numerous appreciable performance gains (full usb host capacities, better touch response, faster scrolling, fewer launcher redraws, faster web browsing, better battery life, faster boot times, faster load times, better multitasking, and I’m sure there are a few more that are not coming to mind at the moment). I would also suggest installing an app that hides the bottom/system bar, I recommend full!screen+, so as to maximize your viewable real estate (note: this will throw off the touch mapping in a few apps, so have an easy means of restoring it when needed). As usual be safe when hacking – make backups (after each step?) and always wear a condom (on each appendage?) . Enjoy, Have Fun, & Don’t Forget to Give Thanks!!! :laugh:
a few updates to my guide
Another way to achieve the same results as step 8 can be found here http://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-warp-all-things-root/610449-ram-swapping-without-swapper2.html . It works perfectly so long as you follow step 12 and add init.d support. Moreover, this will save you a few megabytes of memory and ram. Note: You will need to edit the 99SuperCharger init.d script to reflect the same swappiness value as that set up in your sysctl.conf file; if you don't supercharger will set swappiness to 20.
Also check zep's twitter here https://twitter.com/zeppelin_rox to stay up on all the newest updates to V6 SuperCharger.

Hi defiant07,
First, sorry for my poor English
I just bought the tablet Dragon Touch Y88 (with Android 4.1.1), and because of the limitations of internal space, I realize indicating step # 7, but the link to the file vold.fstab no longer working. Might you please make a new link or send me the modified file?
thanks
my A7 stopped booting and i contacted the company, they sent me this link.
http://tabletexpress.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=10&Itemid=107
and then tell me to download this upgrade file.
http://support.tabletexpress.com/?model=IMGfiles&file=Y88.zip
youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PagvLih2cc&feature=youtu.be
hopefully this helps in some way of Roms/modding
Is there a way to root the Dragon Touch Y88X? I tried root unlock, but I can't even get the newest version to install correctly. I've tried older versions but my device isn't being detected. I have the generic adb drivers installed and debugging is enabled, still no luck. any help would be appreciated.
does anyone have the newest release of Root Unlock minus the spyware? or any other root method?
Been trying a variety of methods but haven't had any luck being able to gain root. Most instructions relating to Dragon Touch tablets seem to be for ICS or JB, not for Kit Kat.

ZTE 768 Kernel Advice

Hey Guys,
I'm a total n00b to android but have plod through and made some headway in the last few weeks.
I've manages to root T-Mobile Concord ZTE 768, Install and use SU and update phones SU binary to the latest 3.1.1.
Install Link2SD, BusyBox, a startup manager, Swapper 2 etc.. and formatted into three partitions a 16gig sd card leaving a little less than a gig as linux swap partition following directions I found here.
Everything works great Super User permissions all granted as they should.
No matter what I have tried and extensive googling, trial and error I cannot get Swapper 2 to succeed and am coming to the conclusion my kernel
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7+ [email protected] #6 does not support swap, I could be wrong.
Being very new, could use some advice; should I give up? perhaps I'm missing something?
Replace Kernel with a better one? Where would I even find one? Are they specific to certain phones? Directions to get it done?
I'm doing pretty good I think for three weeks into android, friends around me with androids for years, most don't have a clue and can see their phones are way bloated and messed up.
Thanks for any advice!
Best Wishes,

[Root] Space Machine : Run Android from your SD Card

Hello there! I have been working this app for last few weeks. Its a Rooted app named "Mobile In SDCard" which allows you to:
Run mobile apps from SD Card directly.
Its highly Portable. One can take the SD Card and plug-it in with another mobile! All your apps,contacts,mail will be available for use. Just like the original mobile.
Increased Internal storage, depending on size of SD Card.
Removable Internal Storage, by this one can hide apps.
Backup mobile in SD Card and use.
Simple two step configuration.
Unleash the Real root power!​I plan to release beta-version this Friday and looking for Beta-testers. If you are interested, please let me know. I tested this only with Android-4.4 Moto-E (1st gen) and 2nd Gen. Rooted using TWRP method.
For updates , created a new group "Lonely Root" https://plus.google.com/communities/113253726177871964982
thanks!
EDIT:
Here's the download link https://play.google.com/apps/testing/in.co.giis.SpaceMachine for beta-testing. You need to join above G+ group to use this link. Cheers!
ps: If this is misplaced - please move the thread to right location. thanks!
Please remember to backup critical data before checking this app.
Steps:
1 - Overview gives current Internal storage (Click on it to verify)
2 - Configure SD Card, first step is enable root access. Now select your removable SD Card from drop-down or perform auto-detect.
With auto-detect you need to remove and re-insert the SD Card. It should appear on the drop-down, then hit save.
3 - You need to format the selected drive to complete the configuration. WARNING: If you not 200% sure about the device name, please don't proceed with format.
4 - Flexible Space will tell you the total SD Card size and current used space. Allowed space is always 4GB more than current
Internal Storage. (First 4GB is free and remaining comes with In-app purchase). Go ahead and click on button to start the cloning
process. It took approx 5 minutes to clone/sync 2GB data into Samsung class-8 micro SD Card.
If everything goes right, device will be rebooted with new removable internal storage!
Please verify import apps like contacts,mail,Gallery. Some apps may ask you re-initialize data (like whatsapp), but this should
be one time step. Later when you use portable mode, no extra effort needed.
5 - If things are working fine, with flexible space. If you have similar rooted mobile, then insert the SD Card on mobile-2 then
Configure the device but don't format the drive. Just go ahead and click portable space . Now this rooted mobile will directly
from SD Card! If you don't have similar rooted device, try another SD Card repeat above steps. Now you have multiple SD Card
that run your device
Remember, If you reboot the device, your original device will be restored. Only when you click flexible or portable the mobile will run from SD Card. Other its normal mobile with attached SD Card.
I'll try to create video of these step in a day or two. Thanks for the support!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBaMaQroVusBasic installation screencasting
great jobs sir
by the way, its like portable OS...right?
Thanks.
>portable OS.
yes and no.
yes - because all the user apps will become portable and some system apps. You can take the SD Card and use it another Mobile - All your data is there!
no - Few system apps/binaries are not cloned. Since they are tied closely with hardware (like device uuid etc).
It would be challenging to make the system apps work, depending up-on the 'Space Machine' response, I'll take this challenge At-least improve current situation.
Great job sir... will this work on rooted tabs also? shall we test it on tab? I have a karbonn ST10 tab, in which I want to test it with 16gb samsung memory card...Please advice..
I think rooted tab should be fine. But I looked into 'karbonn ST10 tab' Android version - it uses 4.1 - is that right? . Android- 4.1 is little different. If I'm not wrong, current version should work fine for versions like 4.3, 4.4, 5.0.0, 5.1.0, 5.1.1, 6.0.1.
I'll look into support for version 4.1 in upcoming versions. I've a feeling, it should be easier than 4.4 because Android started to tighten things with higher versions.
I'm on Moto e 2014, cm13 with adopted SD...will it be of any help to me?
Looks like cm13 is equivalent to Android 6.0.1 . Adopted SD is same removable SD Card right? If so , I think it should work. Please take a backup of critical mobile internal and external data & apps before trying it. It's in beta-release mode tested only with Android-4.4 Moto-e 2014. Please be 200% sure of the device name before formatting the removable SD Card.
Hello, I'm looking for help with Android version 4.3/5.0 and 5.1 - Looks like there is lot of 4.4 rooted mobile just like me

After join this group you can access play store URL. thanks
I updated the app with fixes for Android-M. Test results so far:
4.4 - Works
5.0 - Status Unknown
5.1 - Status Unknown
6.0.1 - Partially works. (Hopefully, it will be working with latest patch).
If you have 5.0/5.1 rooted device and interested in Running mobile from your SD Card, please have a look the app and share the status/bugs. thanks!
Test Results so far:
4.1.2 - Fail
4.4.4 - Pass
5.0 - Unknown
5.1 - Unknown
6.0 - Fails with older version. I'm hoping it works with latest code.

Not looking good. If it stays this way, I plan make initial release for only 4.4 version(thus play store doesn't show the app on other OS version). And add support another OS in next releases based on further work & tests.

Yes, Now Its working on 6.0 I think should work cm13 - Please give it a try
This is for sure a great work
Two weakness:
1)Performance
You know, eMMc is way faster than a sdcard and move almost an entire system could result in a very slow device.
2)From the video I seen that it's necessary to remove and then insert again the sdcard.
For lot of devices, like mine too, it's impossible to remove the sdcard without removing the battery too so...power off

I have rooted devices that run 5.0 and 5.1, I'll give this a test when I get home and let you know how it goes. May be a while, though, lol. Wifey has plans for today...

I agree on the (1). Performance will be slow. Probably faster (class-10) sdcards might improve the situation.
2) Removing and Insert again is optional target for users who are not sure about device name. If you know the device name , selecting from drop-down & save should be enough to proceed.

Sure, thanks.. Running it 5.0 & 5.1 would be great. So far, we tested this on 4.4 & 6.0. Results for 5.0/5.1 is completely unknown and currently in-progress.

[GUIDE] WhatsApp Folder, Download Folder etc. on External Storage with Xposed (ROOT)

There's one thing I hate about living in Germany. It's that we never get the high storage capacity models of most Smartphone models. We always get the base models with 16 or 32 Gigabytes of internal storage. But the ads and people working at the big stores will tell you "Well, you can put a microSD card in it". Screw you, you idiot! We both know it won't help me! I need high storage because games have become huge and WhatsApp folders are at least 2 - 3 Gigabytes since the introduction of animated GIFs. We also know that Google's adoptable storage is A) complete BS B) it's disabled on almost all Samsung devices and C) even if you enable it, it doesn't work the way it's supposed to on Samsung devices. More on that some other time. We also know that moving apps to external storage doesn't do crap because it only moves 50 or 60 Megabytes which is completely useless if you ask me. So, here's my guide.
This should work on any ROM, be it AOSP or TW and Android version higher than 5.0.
Tested working on:
Samsung Galaxy S3 running LineageOS 14.2 (Android 7.1.2)
Samsung Galaxy S4 running deodexed Android 5.0.2
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Edge) running stock Android.
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Edge) running SuperMan ROM 2.7.x with SuperStock Kernel 2.10.x.
What you're going to need:
MAKE A F*#?!85 BACKUP OF ANYTHING YOU'RE GOING TO TOUCH!
- Root isn't necessary but advised.
- TWRP.
- Official Xposed Framework.
- XinternalSD.
- If your on a stock ROM or you know the ROM you're running doesn't have an SD card fix (RW for external storage) implemented, we're also gonna need Marshmallow SD fix. Don't get confused by the name. It works on Lollipop and Nougat, too.
- Alternatively you can use SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD by NextApp, inc. (FX File Explorer). This also works on Marshmallow but I haven't tested it on Nougat.
- Don't forget to enable XinternalSD and Marshmallow SD fix, if you chose to use it in Xposed Installers Modules menu!
After you've successfully installed all the steps above do the following:
- Open a File Explorer of your choice and move the WhatsApp folder to you external Storage.
- Open XinternalSD and tap on "Enable for apps".
- In this list you're going to want to check the box for WhatsApp.
- Reboot (Not sure if necessary. Just for good measure) and you're done.
- Test to see if new media is stored on external storage.
To store downloaded files from Chrome directly on external storage do the following:
- Open XinternalSD and tap on "Enable for apps".
- In this list, check the box for "Chrome".
- Reboot for good measure and you should be done.
This method works for almost any app, but to quote @MBariya
But supports only in that apps which has location modification option only in internal sd...

To be fair, his statement is from 2014. A lot of things changed since then. Maybe it's obsolete. I don't know, I'm not an engineer.
I reply here because I spent a lot of time searching through very old posts and trying outdated methods. I didn't know that actually today there is a very easy solution to move whatsapp media folder to SD card. It perfectly worked on my Samsung Galaxy A3 A320FL with Oreo:
1) Root (I used twrp + magisk method)
2) Download "App2SD" (the original by Vicky Bonick; it's free) and follow instructions on how to create partitions
3) Use "folder mount (app analyzer)" feature, which apparently was not considered in the old posts in this forum, so I suppose it was recently added to App2SD.
It's like folder mount, but it's pre-set for some common apps, including Whatsapp. With this feature, you can successfully move Whatsapp media folder to SD, in one clic.
In my case everything worked fine. When I reboot I have to re-mount folder, but it takes one second (just open Apps2SD, tap Folder Mount, slide "whatsapp other").

An Easy Alternative for external SD card writes for all phones

I recently got a Xiaomi phone on Android 7.0 (Nougat) which while rooted could not write to the external SD memory card as Google has blocked writes to that card in the last several OS versions. Some of the fixes for that issue on XDA involve using Xposed Framework (which has been a problem on some of my phones) and others involved modifying some system files which I tried but I believe that is what caused numerous apps to force close and ultimately I think it was what caused Google services to stop working and to declare my phone was not supported (but it is on their list of supported devices and was working fine until I implemented one of those patches).
So what is my Alternative fix? I have noticed for a long time that when I use Total Commander (for Android) - great program - that if I try to copy a file to the external SD card it shows a popup that says the external SD card is write protected - BUT - if I hit cancel on that dialogue it copies the file anyway! Or you can follow the directions on the dialogue which just involves a couple more touches to complete the file copy. That works either way.
But what if you could avoid that popup alltogether? The easy solution: If you want to copy files to the external SD card as if there was no write protection this is what you do. Get an App like JR Rummy's ROM Toolbox (I think there are others which can also easily perform this operation but his is one of the nicest) and go into the App Manager in ROM Toolbox and search for Total Commander. Then once it is opened choose the 'Advanced' menu (scroll right). Then choose "Convert to System App". When that is done exit ROM Toolbox and try copying a file to the external SD card. It should copy without any popups or problems. You will of course need a rooted phone for this to work but for the purpose of copying files where YOU want them this works great. I imagine this could work for other file managers also but if you have never used Total Commander from Ghisler I highly recommend it for both Android and Windows.
I don't see any reason this wouldn't work for any Android phone but if anyone finds a problem with implementing it please post here. Christian Ghisler has been developing Total Commander for Windows since 1995 and I think he is a coding genius and while the Android version is newer I totally trust the App to be converted to a system App. If there are concerns about that please post here.

Additional info: On Lollipop most of the apps which patch the external SD card writes work well. On Marshmallow some still work okay but not always the best. On Nougat it seems some patches work on some phones but many people have problems with them on this OS version so my suggestions above will hopefully help those stuck with issues using those other methods.
I have Xposed framework on some phones and it works great but on other phones it has caused noticeable slowness and app crashes so I removed it and all was well again. Xposed framework is needed for one of the external SD card fixes as seen here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-marshmallow-sd-fix-write-t3403263 . But if you have a phone which doesn't like Xposed or the other patches have not worked give the above a try. It's an easy fix for copying / moving your own files to the external SD card.
On phones that are using a 'systemless root' this probably will not work.
