[Q] [Help a new owner!] Incoming massive request for help.

First off let me thank everyone who is going to help me through my issue.
Everything started yesterday when I got a16 gigabytes new SD Micro card. I originally got the card so I can move my applications from the internal 16 gigabytes storage to that SD Micro card . After searching through the web I have realized that I cannot move my applications to the external memory until I root my device and so I did it using a guide from this website. after rooting my device I downloaded every application in play store that is used to move applications from the internal memory to the external one.And for some reason all of them failed'Someof them said that there is no enough memory. and some others said I have no External memory inserted "already checked in settings and it says external memory 14.98 Gb free. After that i read another guide which Said I should get Rom manager to partition my memory card.and I did download the Rom manager . I tried to partition but it said I don't have CWM , and it asked ifit should install it so I accepted. mydevice wasn't listed. I chose a random one and now I'm afraid I have broken my 3 days old note 10.1 . Could anyone help me please with
1. The Sd micro card issue(apps From internal memory't external memory.)
2. The random CWM device that I have downloaded and maybe installed.
3. Partitioning my card (if that's going to help.)
4. I'm new to android and have no idea what rooting is "although I did it anyways" and how I Can use rooting
Rooted note 10.1
Thank you again <3
Edit 1- 8 views no help? Id really appreciate it if anyone could help me.

I think some sort of reply will help you get started...
Note 10.1 only supports FAT 32. not NTFS. So you have to format your SDcard properly to begin with. I believe its true, you need to root your device to get AppOnSD support.
NEVER flash anything that is not intended SPECIFIC for your device. Always do a backup so you can restore it from an image if you happen to soft brick it.
Rooting pretty much allows you to get "super user" functionality. Most notably the ability to access system files.

I'll try to help with fixing your Note.
Can you get into download mode? Start with power off and press volume down and power at the same time.
If so download Check Fus (GGI version) from fus.nanzen.se and make you have Odin and the Samsung drivers as described in the how to root thread.
Check the back of your Note for version number; N8000, N8010 or N8013. Use Check Fus to download the correct rom for your country. If not the nearest one.
Follow the how to root guide (sticky in development) that explains how to install the rom. This should put you back where you started. Now, read a lot. Don't use Rom Manager.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1/ How to root instructions. Your replacing the rom from the instructions with the one you downloaded from Check Fus.

And pjfriend I tried so hard to understand but I'm really sorry im really new to this and I don't get what youre saying. Can u explain more !?

I said I think I broke my note because I downloaded and installed a random cmw from Rom manager when I tried partition my sd card .
And I have a problem moving apps to the sd card. In app2sd it says it's emulated andin droids it says memory is full.

Then I'll back out. I've no experience of apps2sd on the Note. Have had no cause to use it. I strongly suggest you read a lot more before you attempt anything else involving door, partitions or CWM.

[Resolved] (guide xperia m) rooting , reboot fix, and swapping internal memory

first of all all the tools and steps in this post is not mine . i had tried to bring all these things in to one thread

B-busybox
1-download busybox
2-install busybox and open it wait for some time and grand super su request
3-wait for some time busybox loads tweaks after loading completes there is a install button on bottom left corner click install then choose normal
4-busy box installs tweaks after compleation of installation sucess popup message comes
5-installation of busy box is sucessfull
note:some time the phone will reboot in between the busybox installation dont worry follow from the 3rd steps. this is because of the system folder read write error
C-reboot fix (sucessfull system read/write)
1-download reboot fix.rar
2-unrar it on ur pc
3-turn on usb debugging on ur phone and connect to ur pc(sony pc companion should b installed in ur pc)
4-run supersu.bat

Ok so it finally worked after a few attempts. Do i need to uninstall all my apps and re-install them to get them on the 'external sd' as my 2gb partition is still full

Can we partition the SD card so that some of it appears as external storage and allows apps such as app2sd to move the data stored on the internal storage to move to external storage and free up space that way instead??

i also follow all steps A-D and attempt many times, at last it should be fully successed.run sciptmanager also work.
i open ES file explorer to check sdcard has been swaped. sdcard0=>external sd 16Gb card and sdcard1=>internal 2Gb.
i use link2sd to move some apps to my sdcard 16Gb, but an Warning occurred: "App2SD is not supported by ur device. becoz ur device has a primary external storage which is emulated form the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to ur SD card."
so i cant move my apps to my sdcard 16Gb. what happen and why?
anybody know whats wrong ???

[Q] Root for Android 4.2.2

Hello!
I'm new to XDA Developers but I have some knowledge about what's happening in here.
I have this device (Lenovo A526) which I bought just last month, it has 4 GB internal memory but half of it is used in system apps and files.
After a month (now) I used up all my free space so I decided to buy a 16 GB SD Card so I could download more apps and store more files.
I was about to move my apps to my SD Card but I could not find the "Move to SD" option. Well, this option used to be there in my previous
devices. What happened? I remembered that I had this app called Android Assistant and one of its features is to move apps to SD Card. I
downloaded it and tried to move apps to SD Card but it would just redirect me to Settings>Apps>Certain App where I could not find the
"Move to SD" option. I tried several apps but none worked, they all do the same. I have searched Google for solutions and I found two more
options; using Android SDK, and rooting. I tried using the SDK first. It did not go as it is expected, my device could not be detected. I tried
rooting my device but I could not find anything that is exactly for my device.
I am willing to root my device. I tried using update.zip, framaroot and some computer programs but none worked. I found ways to root some
devices like Samsung, LG, Sony, etc. But none for Lenovo A526. My device is running Android 4.2.2 Jelly bean. I need help. If there is anything
people here could suggest, it would be well appreciated.
*for those who don't wanna read, I'm looking for a way to root my Lenovo A526. Or if you have any suggestions, I would just want to move my apps to my SD Card or maybe even swap it. Device is running Android 4.2.2 Jelly bean
For those who are willing to help and looking for more information about my device, please feel free to ask.
Thank you!

i have the same problem here i managed to root my device lenovo a526 but still i can not move apps to sd. no app working. i root it with vroot its very easy to use. just one click and u r rooted working on pc. just googled it and download it. and if u can managed to move apps pls tell me the way.

Hi,
if you can flash zip via recovery or fastboot, download supersu zip file here: http://download.chainfire.eu/589/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip
Then go into recovery, install zip and choose the zip file in sd card.
Then you can enjoy root ^^
Hope this helps you!

[Q] C2305 insufficient disk space - to mod / root / cry?

Hi there
I've got a Sony Xperia C (C2305) and it's got a constant problem with disk space. I have installed a 32GB microSD but many of the app's insist on remaining on the 1GB partition (Device Memory) which now means app's are starting to bloat, etc. and I can't even run updates on app's like Whatsapp or Google+ because it says there's insufficient disk space for the download.
I am optimistic and hopeful that if I root / custom ROM the device I can get some life out of the phone.
When I did the Sony Unlock Bootloader check, my phone says under Service Info / Configuration "Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No" which I think means I cannot use the Sony Developer tool to unlock the bootloader but I don't know if this also means it is a hopeless cause entirely.
I'd appreciate any insight into whether it is advisable to root / custom ROM my phone (and if it's even possible, given the above information) and whether or not this will enable me a greater deal of flexibility with installing app's on the SD card? 1GB internal is apparently not enough but if I can (with a custom ROM) move Gmail etc. to the SD card then I don't see any long-term challenges with this fix...
Thanks in advance

Firstly, I hit the "thanks" button.
Secondly, I just followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59153643&postcount=171 to root and custom ROM my phone - timing was a little off because I'd have preferred to keep my original Sony ROM and run your fix. I may still need to do it now that I've done the new ROM because some app's still refuse to move to SD on their own.
The title of the app implies it creates a link, rather than moves the app - I will look into it though.
Many thanks!

The same of app sounds like linking but I use this app and many other people also use this app. It moves any App permanently from your desired location to your desired location.

Just flash this by cwm and your internal memory would become 2gb.

Hi again - sorry for the late response; moved home and had no internet access for ages!!
I find Link2SD cannot move all apps from Internal Storage to SD card... for example:
Google+ tries to move for a while, then it says:
"Failure
pkg: /data/app/
com.google.android.apps.plus-1.apk
Failure
[INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_INSTALL_LOCATION]"
I find there are several apps (mostly Google apps) that seem to not be able to move to SD Card?
Another example is with Gmail:
If I hit "Link to SD card" it says
Second partition not found
/dev/block/: device not found
Make sure you have two partitions on your SD card and both are primary.
I'm guessing that means I need to partition my SD card but I'm not sure how I should do that for Android (or can I do something silly like use Windows DIsk Management for this) ?
Is it true that some applications just won't allow you to move them to SD card? I find the limited device memory on the Xperia C crippling. I keep running out of memory and can't even install a 16k app and I hardly have anything on there - the major app's like Gmail and Inbox are using up a large chunk of space.

Actually, I may have answered my own question by fiddling a bit with Link2SD - there's an option to convert an app (e.g. Google+) to a user app. I am still learning Android but it seems AFAIK that a system app is read-only and in /system/app and that's why it cannot be moved.
So by first following your original advice (@iSiddharth) and selecting the option "Integrate update into system", I think I am now removing the rollback feature of a system app (i.e. it is now a single app instead of a system app plus a separate update). Next, if I convert it to a user app, I can then - after a device reboot - move the app to the SD card (since it is now considered a user app instead of a system app).
At least, I hope my understanding is more or less correct and I'm not messing up my apps!!! I'm leaving all mission critical apps that are in /system where they are in case removing read-only for them could run me into trouble later.
And if I follow this for all of the apps that I need to, I can free up internal memory - AND if that patch / flash from @Rsameer
is legit, I can also get more local memory (+1GB).

maybe this will help you

Just flash this by cwm and your internal memory would become 2gb.

Hey guys!
Once again sorry for late reply; just had a baby addition into our new home so I've been kinda busy
@Rsameer @Magdy Yassen I have followed the steps and flashed it but now the new ROM hasn't got Google Account Manager, Settings UI, or CWM any more so I can't figure out how to restore my backup? I'm sitting with the new image but I am stuck?
The steps say
"Once Xperia C starts, then simply turn off the phone and again boot into recovery and restore the backup you created earlier using CWM. By this you will restore all the data you had earlier."
but how do I boot into recovery now?

Alright, I've worked it out - perhaps a little too hasty in my reply ... the instructions I had said press power and UP button but that wasn't working. I eventually decided to try Power and DOWN button and it worked! I've restored my backup and I am back in business!
Thanks guys - I have successfully merged /sdcard1 and /data together

theres a method

Hi there
I've got a Sony Xperia C (C2305) and it's got a constant problem with disk space. I have installed a 32GB microSD but many of the app's insist on remaining on the 1GB partition (Device Memory) which now means app's are starting to bloat, etc. and I can't even run updates on app's like Whatsapp or Google+ because it says there's insufficient disk space for the download.
I am optimistic and hopeful that if I root / custom ROM the device I can get some life out of the phone.
When I did the Sony Unlock Bootloader check, my phone says under Service Info / Configuration "Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No" which I think means I cannot use the Sony Developer tool to unlock the bootloader but I don't know if this also means it is a hopeless cause entirely.
I'd appreciate any insight into whether it is advisable to root / custom ROM my phone (and if it's even possible, given the above information) and whether or not this will enable me a greater deal of flexibility with installing app's on the SD card? 1GB internal is apparently not enough but if I can (with a custom ROM) move Gmail etc. to the SD card then I don't see any long-term challenges with this fix...
Thanks in advance

[Q] I really need urgent help

Hi there
I have just purchased lenovo vibe z2 pro
as it is the Chinese version, so, I tried to change things and enable the google services
then I went Into recovery mode and installed the new ROM from the SD card
it seems to be not suitable for the phone, as the phone was stuck to the lenovo logo (the only change from previous Chinese logo)
then by mistake I formatted the SD, then the problem began
I can't perform factory reset (tried many times)
I can only access the phone recovery mode
I can't access or read or browse the Phone memory on my computer (only I see lenovo suite installation files
what can I do?
I want to access the SD card to put the original ROM on the SD so that I can install it back
or give me any other solution please
thank you

Sorry, but the Phone DOES NOT HAVE external memory
any way I flashed international ROW
but the SIM cards are not working as expected
as I Knew from different posts, I can change the file NON-HLOS.bin, but the solution will not be valid if I update the phone
any easy and permanent solution??
