Hello i recently bought a motorola defy mini 600mhz 512mb ram 150mb internal storage and a 16gb sd card.
I have a couple of apps and the internal storage is already full, this is my first android phone and i have heard of rooting but it hasnt been discovered for my phone.
Is it possible to set the sd card memory to be seen as internal memory?
And is it possible to install a new android version?
Thank you

What can we defy mini users do?
Only wait for the root method to be discovered?
Sent from my XT320 using XDA
i think so
Setting sd as internel memory is commonly referred to as "partitioning", where a part of the sd is used as internel mem...
However, for that, you require root access, and a kernel that supports init.d scripts...

How can i know when rooting becomes availible for the defy mini?
Sent from my XT320 using XDA
That is a difficult question to answer...
Does your device have a forum on xda? (Check in the legacy and low activity sub-forum)
If it has, things get a little easier since people can then come together and experiment with different methods...
I'm guessing it does not, so the next thing left is trial and error...
If you are willing to risk your warranty and a possible bricked device, you can try a few of the popular gb methods (I'm assuming your phone is on gb), like gingerbreak, superoneclick, or unviersal root tool etc...
HOWEVER, do this at your own risk, as you cannot hold anyone else responsible for any damages...
Also, from what I've heard, motorola phones usually have a locked bootloader...and unfortunately, I have no experience with such devices (as mine does not have a locked bootloader)...messing around with the bootloaders increases chances of bricking...

I doubt if SuperOneClick does the job. Rooting your phone is easy as 123 with that tool, but on some phones it turns out to nothing. I guess they already tried it.
It didn't work on my poor Mini...
It would be the best if you wait for an official method.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA
Yeah i have already used it but it didnt work.
I hope the official method comes out soon because its quite long since the release of the phone.

Official method?
A phone gets root as people try to root it...there's nothing that the manufacturer does!
Its all trial and error...or some people study the source and find out ways to root!

Oh well by official method i was refering to a real coder or developer would find a way to root it.

I mean a method that is tested by some pro people that know how to root it.
By the way, you might want to read this thread.

Of course I don't try it since it is for Motorola phones only. And I have Samsung. Good luck though

That seems intresting but where do I get a rooted gingerbread userdata partition image (aka CG37) from?
I will try that method out and if it works or not I will report back.

So.. did someone managed to finally root the Defy Mini? How can a phone this cheap be so hard to root?
The processor in this phone can run from 600 to 800Mhz (as Qualcomm says), but it is blocked to 600 on the official room. This cpu should run fine at 900-1000Mhz. Also we would get even better performance if we manage to put a stock android on it and get rid of Motorola bloatware.
Din pacate inca nimica.
Unfortunatly nothing yet.
hey i dont know whether this works or not but i found a flashable zip to root....
www . mediafire . com/?6a863tfqb9pc2d9(note der r some space in links bcoz my links are not visible without space...so remove spaces in link and go to link)
flash this file in recovery and see whether this file roots motorola defy mini or not....
pls reply what happens...
i am just helping you all to get your phone rooted pls dont insult me if it doesnt root
What if it brakes or bricks my phone?

i can try with no problem if someone tell me exactly what to do with this zip...
i must put this file inside the sd ... and then ?
okay. so i have:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7'' (8gb internal / 32gb microSD external) running Jelly Bean 4.1.1
1-. i rooted it
2-. partition the microSD leaving (1st partition with 28gb FAT32 / 2nd partition with 1gb ext2)
3-. downloaded Link2SD and linked to the ext2 partition
4-. linked almost every app (screenshot)
yet the info in "storage" says i'm storing everything in the internal memory (screenshot).
i linked "Fifa 12" to external SD and started downloading it (aprox 1.2gb) and while it downloads i can see how the free space from the internal storage goes down.
am i doing something wrong?, thanks in advance!
here i add a screenshot showing that partition i made (i did it fine as far as i know)
please...anyone? =(

Naw you didn't do anything wrong. I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I have a 32gb sd card myself and it's rendered useless so far
Try this out. Maybe you will have luck with it

so we're stucked until someone modifies the Swap SD card mod for jelly bean?
i decided to add some videos and books manually to the SD card to at least do "something" useful with the tablet and now i get an error at the google play store.
i've had this thing for a couple of days and i'm sick of it. i should have go the nexus 7 32gb, only if i knew before...

I couldn't get it to run right ( I mean mount2sd). Kept hiding my apps and doing buggy stuff. Link2sd would at least move some pass over. I mean on 4.2.2. I only use the script above on pre 4.2

Hello,
I just purchased a pre-owned Galaxy Plus 7.0 in perfect condition for £85.00 as I've been on the look out for a tablet recently for browsing, checking emails and playing some games.
I haven't been able to find many reviews online of this tablet but how does it run in general? Is it nice and smooth without lags? Is web browsing and playing games a smooth experience?
Thanks
The G Tab Plus is a very good tablet, even is more powerful that the Galaxy Tab 2, that is newer.
Anyways some more new device could be better ( like Nexus 7) I really like the G Tab Plus.
Thanks for the reply - For performance, which firmware is the best one to go for? A custom or stock ICS?
Cheers

Do you have the GT-6200 or the gt-6210 (or a different version? The 6210 is wifi only.) Jellybean was officially released for the 6200 very recently. Skype works. Other apps that you might find beneficial is tablet talk and groove IP if you want to be able to receive & send texts from your tablet with your phone number & groove IP lets you make phone calls using your google voice number. The tablet runs good especially after being updated from honeycomb to ics. I have mine completely full and it still runs good (using stock ROM & firmware but overclocked it a little bit.)
The only other recommendation I can think of is if you want to be able to move files from your internal storage to your ext SD card you should follow this guide. Without the mod you can only move files to the SD card from a computer (& like most tablets & newer phones apps2sd doesn't work. You could use a directory bind app but I have not tried any.)

I don't understand well that, I can move file to and from SD card to internal whenever I want and I never use any fix for that. Or are you talking just about moving apps to SD?
BTW I have the p6210.
Like Grandpa says, "If it works, don't fix it." This was a problem on Honeycomb, I think it must have been fixed on ICS.
the best thing can this tablet do is playback video that my opinion
I recently found this app online https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder called Seeder which says that it removes the lag from an android smartphone. The problem is that since I'm on JB and my sdcard is kinda old for now I can't root which means I can't test it.
Is someone here who has tested this app? Is this working ?
thanks!

Just wanted to ask if any body knows what's happened to add to SD option. I recently rooted my tab2 and now running 4.3 with slim bean first thing I noticed I had to reformat my SD to fat32 as exfat is no longer recognized.. Then I noticed no app to SD.
This is not a major issue but I did find it handy and would really like to get this back if possible so any help or tips would be appreciated.
Oh andi have tried a few other ROMs as well. None have this option.
Apart from that the ROMs pretty dam good

Hey bud I'm running into the same problem on my tablet I have the sph-p500 version from sprint I'm still running the stock rom cause I guess there's nothing out yet for this version but I've done all the formatting for the extend are and using link2sd not app2sd it still won't let you move apps to ext sd but you can link the folders to free up alittle space I'm new to android and to this site but it seems to me like people on here are alittle weary about talking to junior members it sucks because I could really use there advice in the most recent versions of android the primary sd card is emulated therefore will not alow ext to be primary due to security reasons
Hello mate sorry for the mega late reply I work offshore. I come to think now its just not possible to appto SD but hey never mind my pad has plenty storage its just a shame I cannot utilize the 64gb SD card I have lol never mind I will keep searching for a solve.

Apps 2 sd is only possible if you're running stock firmware jb 4.2.2.
If you want to move apps, use link2sd but you need to make partition in your external sd.
