Greetings!
I think I rooted my Galaxy Note 10.1 properly. I have CWM 6.0.3.1 and it let me backup my files OK. So my question is, when all is said and done and I put in a new ROM ( please advise which I should use) will I be able to move apps to the SD card????
Thanks,
Israel

What ever Custom ROM you choose make sure you read all the directions at least 2X before you decide to install it.
Certain ROM's like Android Revolution HD (it's good) needs to have High on Androids CWM 6.0.1.1 for a proper installation.
I think you maybe better off sticking with factory ROM rooted until you get more experience.
To move apps to SD check out DirectoryBind or FolderMount [ROOT] I have used them both and they do work.

Hi all,
I am a noob, first post. I purchased my XOOM (WiFi version) one week ago. I was led to believe it was stock (it is 2 mo. old) and have discovered that it has been rooted and modded. Here is the Device Info:
Android Version 3.2
Kernel Version 2.6.36.4-Tiamat_Xoom-v2.1.0-Tachi-StockGPU-gcef3887
It did not come with an SD card. I purchased one today (16gb). Are there critical files missing that were on the original sd card?! Thanx in advance.
To further clarify; if I wish to factory reset the device, are there files that I will need on the sd card other than a current backup?
the stock xoom didnt come with an sd card. it didnt even support it initally. hitting the restore to default button will not remove your root.

What exactly do you want to do with your Xoom? It is great to already be rooted and that Tachi kernel is a big improvement over stock. Do you just want to clean out the previous owners stuff and make it more yours? Or do you want to go back to a pure stock state?
That is a good question. I guess my main concern is that I am able to mod my device without any problems that the previous owner may have caused by removing critical files on the SD card. I'm a little paranoid as I am just beginning to learn.
I discovered a clockworkmod recovery file "recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-stingray.img" in the internal memory. I don't understand what that file is. Is this a stock recovery file?

ClockworkMod recovery is a custom recovery. It is installed when rooting and is a great improvement over the stock recovery because it allows you to make a complete system image so you can experiment with new rom or kernel and always be able to restore to a previous state if you're dissatisfied or if something goes wrong. Also, with the right version you can save files to your external micro sdcard [you purchase it.it does not come with the Xoom] and flash them through your CWM recovery menu. However, version 4.0.0.4, the one you have installed, doesn't recognize the external sdcard. You will need to install version 3.2.0.0 R4c.
Thanks for the info, I will install version 3.2.0.0 R4c. Looks like the previous owner saved me some work.
Hi people! I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, I searched but couldn't find the topic about that. If there is one, please direct me there. Thanks!
So, my friend has a ChaCha, and she gets the low memory msg all the time. She can't install anything, only having ~80MB of space taken (when calculated) although the phone says that more than 130MB is taken. She can't open Gtalk or Gmail - the phone is slower than imaginable! We wiped the cash from the Apps Settings, checked and everything possible is on the SD card, but still... The phone is not rooted nor anything.
Thanks in advance!
Link2sd app
Be carrefull !!
But the phone itself offers the option of installing a part of the app on sdcard - why then the link2sd? Can it be that the phone alone isn't doing the job properly?

Link2sd is one option. When you use native a2sd (built in) it doesn't move everything on sd, just part of application. The best way is too flash one of many custom roms that have ability to install scripts that will move all apps to ext partition. CM mods support those scripts (IMO the best one to use is CronMod Script - D2EXT and INT2EXT (+)), there are also many stock based custom roms that has dta2sd preinstalled.
Of course you need to be rooted and you need to partition your sd-card in order to do that.

didije, can you please tell me how to root your phone and install this partition thingy onto the SD CARD without losing the stock rom? I like sense widgets and the stock rom very much!

After you unlock the bootloader flash recovery and to root it install this zip though recovery.
On a stock rom (stock kernel) you can only use apps such as link2sd. And there are many threads on partitioning sd-card, just google it. The easiest way is to partition from advanced menu in clockwork recovery but I am not sure if partitioning through clockworkmod recovery works with link2sd.

Hi;
i am a noob in the android world and i need a help
i have a sammsung SGH-I857 with 2.2.2 android version & 2.6.332.9-perf karnel version which is rooted
I want to release the maximum possible space of internal phone memoir because it small (177MO ONLY) 89.30 MB of space it used.
I would move them to the SD card (8GB) or remove them if it's possible ,but I do not know how knowing that my phone has never been changed at the ROM or Kernel or Recovery or anything like that
I also read that before anything i should use a custom recovery and make a backup of my current set up, so in case something gets messed up, i can restore the backup and be as good as new!,then install a ROM that can do what I want if it's possible
the problem is that I can not find how I did lots of research, but I have not found those for SGH-I857
so if you could tel me how ,done please & thank you in advance

First, you need to install Mount2SD or Link2SD, it will link (replace) your apps to SDcard. You can find it Mount2SD here and then you need to partitioning your SDcard first, just follow this instruction and you also get Link2Sd from here. I guess these apps don't need custom ROM or kernel to work. But custom recovery, like CWM or TWRP is necessary needed to do full backup (Nandroid Backup) of your current stock ROM.
Well, for custom recovery you can try ROM Manager (It's free app on Play Store), it will help you to install CWM Recovery. Or you can try TWRP Manager (it's also free app on Play Store) to play with custom recovery by TWRP.
Good Luck.
DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK.

That's the only solution that I know. Just have a try, coz it's fine too if you only have class 4 SDcard.
oK i will thanks
hey , i have the same phone this is what i have done to gain 2go of app memory , root it with superoneclick , partition your sd using minitool partition wizard make one partition fat32 and another linuxswap make them both primary (ps: don't use your phone to partition) then instal link2sd and mount second partition fat32 ....linuxswap partition is the second partiotion for apps.... you are done ...just every time when you install a new app go to link2sd click on the app you want to move to second partition and then click create link. that's it
ps; for sgh-i857 users i lunched a thread for a costum rom!! support it here please : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48720803

There is no current custom recovery solution for the Samsung DoubleTime (SGH-I857).
I am however trying to make this exist as well as a whole other ROM option that may allow Gingerbread to be ran on the device. So far the base of operations has been the thread in which Dardour has posted a link to above. That however seems to be broken. So here it is again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580216
Well best of a good day to you.
I'm unable to make any Nandroid Backups on my i9500, running TWRP 2.7.0.0. Previously, I was able to make backups as well as restore them. But I've started having this problem since 15-20 days. I want to flash to a Custom ROM right now, but I can't because none of my older Nandroid backups are working, and when I try to make a new one, it says - Backup Complete, Failed. The same happens even when I enable compression. The other features are working fine, I'm able to flash ZIPs normally.
How can I get rid of this problem? Should I flash an older version of TWRP? If yes, how should I do it? Just flash it through recovery?

Hey there..
This problem might occur if there is not enough space left in your SD card.
please make sure that there is enough space left on the external storage before making a backup..
cheers
Hi!
There seems to be a few threads on twrp here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop
I'm not sure which you flashed, but you could try a different version found in thread above....just follow the instructions in the thread. Or explain your issue in the thread you got yours from.
I see you have only 8 posts, and you need 10 under your belt to be allowed to post in the development section. So just browse around the i9500 section in general and q&a and make a few "useful" posts.
Here's the i9500 section.

I just recently formatted it, from the option available in settings.
So there's like 6-7 GBs free space. I can't backup to Internal Storage or to Ext SD Card.
I'll try downgrading TWRP and see if that works.
Problem solved
I successfully flashed CWM. You may mark this as Solved/Completed now.
Thank you so much for your help.
Alrght, so I was trying to get my tab back to original software and I read online to wipe EVERYTHING on the system in CWM. After that I tried to re-boot the syste and it's stuck on Samsung Logo screen. I am able to get into CWM but I tried to install the latest version of CWM and the installation aborted. Staus 7 error. t won't show up o my computer either. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP !
it seems that you forgot to read the line of the instructions where it was strongly suggested to ALWAYS have a nandroid backup or at least a ROM ready to be flashed! Can you reach the main memory in order to put a file in it?

1st where' the an memory and 2nd I can use my external SD car to put files but other than that when I try to mount "system" on my PC it doesn't show.
1) please specify the model of your tab, 2) as far as I've understood the tab supports an SD card as ext memory isn't it? 3) is your CWM fully working? (why d'you wanted to flash it again?)
