Root...

Well is there anyway to root without losing my data? And what exactly does it erase, that's because I downloaded some Gameloft games and here my net is VERY slow (100kb/s), so I need o know if it will be erased, as well Bug Village save data, Gun Bros, Contract Killer, Angry Birds, well there's too much , so I want to know if there's anyway to don't format, for example I didn't need to format my x10 mini pro when I rooted it.
Thanks for your attention, waiting for answers

I'm kind new at this to and I didn't have much on my phone when I rooted it but I backed up my pics, vids, and other data from my sd card to my pc. If you've purchased apps from the market then they should already be backed up by google and titanium backup is a good app for backing up all apps. like I said I'm new and I was more worried about getting rooted than what I was gonna lose but if I remember correctly it flashes your card so backing up all your data would be wise.

It is the unlocking that wipes your data, so yes you will use what data you can't backup but you will get your apps back if you are synced to your google account.

So do yiu guys know someway to root without unlocking the bootloader, sorry for this questions, that's because Xperia X10 mini pro is VERY different from Xoom...

As far as I know you must unlock your device which wipes your data. Why not just copy it to your computer if you have one, unclock and copy back?

That's because Gameloft games, when I connect my Xoom to my computer I can't see it data pack. And so I have too much game data on my Xoom that I worked so hard to do (for example Bug Village and Inotia)...

Titanium Backup is what I use for all my backup needs. I then Sync it with my dropbox which syncs with my PC. So if I wipe the device I just copy it back from the PC. Titanium has an option built in to sync with Dropbox.

N-O, NO! Don't even go there.
The Xoom needs to be rooted with its own methods.

Ok, and i didnt see the gameloft data until now, can you tell me how to see it on my Vista Laptop?

You should be able to just plug it into your PC and go to Xoom/Internal Storage/gameloft all my game data is in that folder.
What you really want to do is make a folder on your desktop then go to your Xoom open the folder (Internal Storage) click tools/folder options/view make sure "always show menus" is check. Click ok and close that box. Now go to edit in the menu select "select all" then edit again and copy. Go to the new folder and paste it. This will select all the files even if they are hidden. That should start to copy your files over to your PC.

Well I already made a backup of my Gameloft data pack, but I want to backup my Inotia data... Anyone know a way?

Shadowgun

Noticed similar threads going up in other device forums and I have the same problem myself. I bought the game for my g2x, I'm running Hawks MIUI port, the extra file download gets to 25% and it sends me back to my homescreen, doesn't continue with the download. Anyone find a fix?

Same issue. I am running CM7 nightly 179... I hope there is a work around...

When i try and download it on weapon 3.0 it says my device is not compatible

Thats the weird thing on my g2x i get the same error, but i installed it on my gs2 (using chainfire/nvidia plugin) and it stalled at 25%for 5seconds and then it just continued with the installation...odd.

Try unchecking Compatibility Mode is Spare Parts.

I downloaded the game last night, and I had the same issue. What worked for me was moving the game to the sd card and then restarting the phone; it finally worked after re-downloading the 250mb add-on. Pretty cool game, get ready for your thumb to start hurting though

works fine for me im on weapon 2.8
i downloaded the data and put it on my sd card though, i didnt download it through the apk.
fun game.

im downloading the sd data from an external site, then gonna move it to /android/data and see if it will check and load the game from there.

Internal memory

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace, and a week or so ago I was trying to free up internal memory. I often have a low memory warning, due to the phone only something like 180mb internal memory. While looking to see what I could delete or move tto fix this, 30mb was suddenly freed without me doing anything.
I know it wasn't just the reading updating, as I was on low memory for weeks on end. Since, I have re-flashed a ROM (carbon Sunday by jusada if it helps) and I'm back on low memory.
I was wondering whether anyone knows why this would happen, and how I can get it to do it again.
All help appreciated

Can't answer your question, but a little tip for people suffering for low user space; download Link2Sd from Market. Google for tutorials.

I'm rooted so I can move apps to the sd, its just some (widgets) dont work on the sd, Ill have a look at partitioning thanks, I dont think it was the cache, thanks anyway though

apps2sd ? right ?!

..mmmh..probably wrong to say here, but..the apps moved to the external sd card are expecting to be slower then before, when were on the internal one?

app2sd or use sd-ext partitions is your way to fix lower internal memory problem

Isn't app2sd built into GB? Am I missing something? Im using CyanogenMod 7

Apps2sd is the process of moving app files and not data to SD card after boot. This still keeps around 1-5 MB on the phone memory and can be done without root on 2.2+
A2SD involves partitioning ur memory card and using it as phone memory. This is mounted before boot so it's faster. Even the dalvik cache can be moved here
I have a 160 MB phone memory and after partitioning and installing 230 apps, I still have 120 MB free
THANK me if this was helpful

You Can Surely Have the Maximum Internal Space by Installing Darktremore App2sd script and moving Dalvic Cache to sd-ext using Apps2sdGui.
Although your internal Memory will still be used but very little bit, and only for house keeping as Some Apps Require Some of Their Files to be copied on Internal Phone Memory.

[Q] Please help me deal with emulated SD card.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S II plus running 4.2.2. Most of my apps are installed into my internal memory which shows up as my emulated sd card even though I have a 16gb class 10 sd card. I understand this is a Samsung design feature. I have two questions.
1) Can I install apps and save or download directly into my sd card without rooting my phone?
2) If I root my phone nd don't change the OS, would I still be able to update my phone according to Samsung OS updates?
Any help is appreciated. I'm having a tough time updating my apps as it says that I dont have enough memory. I am a noob. HELP PLEASE!!

Storage problem?

Hi, I have not updated my phone in a while, I currently have cyanogenmod version (11-20140221-NIGHTLY-t769)(android version 4.4.2). I am planning on updating to newer versions of cm11 but I've had this one issue that has been bugging me for a while now. I think there is a problem with the storage on my phone. Whenever i try to download something it says "not enough space available". I am aware that some apps can not be moved to sd card but I am getting different reads when i check my phone storages. When i connect my phone to the computer it says (Internal storage 1.39 Gb totalsize, 920mb free) and (sdcard 7.38gb totalsize,2.78free) Is it normal to have 2 internal storages? I've been trying to resolve this issue for a while now but I do not know what the problem is. Below are some screenshots of what i am talking about:
http://imgur.com/a/rogD8
Also, is it okay to delete the files listen from /clockworkmod?
Thanks in advance!!!

If you look at storage in cm the first one listed is where apps download and install. Clear app cache to make room.
