actually i bought my XL around 1 month before...and i wanted to root my XL...should i root or not..??
i am confused as i have bought it recently..!!
plz help..!!
Is there anything that you want to do on your phone but you can't because it requires root? Then you should.
If nothing you ever do requires root then there's no point in rooting.

I buy my phone before 5-6 days and yesterday I root it, because I want to use Xposed framework. For me there is no point to unlock it yet, because there is lack of kernels and roms. Will unlock it when cm10.x rom is stable and usable. So all is up to your needs.

thans a lot for your help
By the way I just rooted my phone (on Android 4.1 I couldn't because I couldn't unlock my bootloader) and it's worth it just because the Xposed Framework. There were some things that annoyed me or some things that I missed from the phone, but with Xposed I could customize it the way I wanted.

Like what they said, if you want to do something on your phone that requires root, the do it.
If your concern is about the warranty, you can always unroot your device anytime, anywhere :good:

Hi Guys, Over time my memory card has become pretty bloated with app data and things i no longer need. Instead of going through and finding all of these files to make space i want to format my memory card. I'm currently on ARHD 6.4 and have 4EXT installed and have backed up to my memory card via titanium (which obvs i can re-do once done so no biggy). to keep. To enable me to use 4ext to install future custom roms etc... do i need to keep any files stored on memory card or can i install this from scratch on empty memory card?
You can install from scratch on an empty once you copy over the ROM you want to flash.
Thanks k0zmic, (N00b bit) even though i did s-off, root, and been using custom roms, can't for the life of me remember how i installed 4 ext. where do i get installer for it?
You can get 4th ext recovery at the play store too! Its only a couple of dollars. Or you can install the zip file. I got mine from play store.

STEP 1 in the 1st post over here.
Thanks very much guys. Was having a senior moment
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.

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.

I just bought a shield and apparently it has a feature to move apps from internal to external. When I use is, the move never works (says not supported or error). Is my only solution to root and use one of the rooted apps like Foldermount? Just want to make sure before I root b/c as of now I have not done that and my 16gb is being crushed by games.

Are you running the latest ota ?, you can move from internal to external using 4.3, but in the latest ota we are having some issues moving files to the sd card, i suggest you to root and try it, is not a dificult process you can do it in 30 minutes, good luck having root =D

yes - latest OTA as I updated once I booted up via wifi. Ok - so it;'s not me. Any ETA on the fix b/c I rather not root if possible. If it's TBD, I'll root tonight.
btw - really LOVE the shield thus far. Now if I can only figure out how to truly remove a gamemapper setting and not have to hold/presss then select move to move the buttons, I'll be good. I swear - I set to default and then go back to the game and it goes right back to the original settings I d/l via the d/l option. Very fustrating
it doesn't work with all games.
For now I tried it with Nova 3 and that worked.

What is the best internal to external rooted program to use? I assume install on my internal then use this program to move it to my external?
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!

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!

I hope this works. I've tried installing other zips via recovery before, but no luck. It would always give me "Installation aborted!"
Thanks though!

Do you think we'll get Android M soon? I'm asking because I was thinking on rooting my device to make a partition on my SD and link apps and data to it, but, supposedly, Android M will allow to "adopt storage", which is the same thing of linking files to SD (correct me if I'm wrong) without the need of root access .
So I don't know if it's recommended to wait for Android M and keep my bootloader locked (to preserve the warranty), or root my device in the meantime while we get M.
I'm not urgently needing more space right now, but I would like to have more space and download some games that I can't because of low internal memory.
Thanks. And sorry if I made mistakes, English isn't my native language
Android M should release in a couple of months, but Motorola needs also some time to make it work for our Moto g,
so if you realy want more storage you should root

This is true for me also, but I think those looking to link SD want to move the entire thing. For example Star Wars Commander moves to my SD, but there is still some stuff on the internal. If you look at the App info you can see it. For Commander for me: Total 380MB, External app 55.12MB, External data 263MB. So there is 61.88MB still on internal. Downloading a ton of apps will fill up storage quickly especially with huge apps like Facebook, CoC, Commander, etc.
