thanks for the help..
'appsaver' is a great app. but, when i install the apps from SD Card, apps still gets installed on the device memory.
you said..'phone has to be rooted'...does that mean Froyo should be intalled on the main memory itself ???

It means your phone must be rooted, just like he said.. You can't do it without the phone being rooted. How else can it be put?
Look at my post above for how to do it without rooting the phone.

[Q] n00b advice needed

Hi all,
I live on the UK and was recently on a business trip to the States, where I was lucky enough to win a Xoom Wi-Fi in the company hack-a-thon.
While I was still there it received about 3 ota updates and is now running:
Android version:
3.2.1
Kernel version:
2.6.36.3-g111d827
[email protected] #1
Build number
HTK75D
And the model info on the back is:
FCC ID: IHDT56MT1 IC: 109O-T56MT1
I have a couple of questions that I am hoping the fine people on here can address
1) I've put a 32gb SD card in that was working fine in my Galaxy S and some of the images on it appear in the gallery, but the movies I have on it (mostly avi's) do not. I also cannot browse to the SD card using ES Explorer. Do I need to root to browse to it? What could I use to view the files on the card and play the movies?
2) Will I still receive OtA updates while I'm in the UK (I suspect this is a stupid question, but thought I'd ask anyway)
3) Should I just ditch the base honeycomb and put a custom rom on or do they put out regular ota updates? If so any recommendations?
Many thanks in advance,
James

OK. To answer part of my own question moboplayer allows me to browse up to /mnt so I can get to the videos on the external SD card.
Dunno why es explorer won't let me browse up. Time to find an alternate file explorer...

I'm not sure how many more honeycomb updates you'll still be getting. Android 4.0.3 is coming soon.

I'll settle for that ;-)

Ace. Thanks very much. Silly of me to think I could go up from /sdcard to / really!

You will still receive ota updates in the UK even though it's a US Xoom. Regarding ROMs, if it's something you feel comfortable experimenting with, custom ROMs definitely bring out the best in the Xoom.

hi guys....
quick question... i have a star note a9220... a generic android 4.0 phone... and everytime i set a ringtone from one of the sd cards whenever i access the cards from my pc or just use it to charge my phone it returns everything to default... is there a way to access the root directory so that I can add some better ringtones to the default list??? i dont really want to start messing about with the os... do i need to root it or can i use an app?

To access the root directory or system files, your phone needs to be rooted. I don't think there is any better way than that.

You can use SuperOneClick to root your device temporarily. The root access survives until reboot. After that your device would become normal. Do this and push your ringtones to relevant location using Root Explorer. Then, reboot.

is there a version of super one click that supports android 4?
otherwise any idea's how to root it while keeping 4.0?
plus any idea's how to install and run stuff from the external card? the way it's set up is 512mb as system 2gb in sd and 16gb "usb" which is my external card... 2gb just isnt enough...
Thanks peeps

Rooting doesnt change your android version
It will still be 4.0 after rooting
1 - Just root with superone click
get a free explorer which can access root directories
copy your desired Ringtones and paste them into media/rindtone folder (or where every you rom stores the ringtone)
2 - go to setting, then developement and check Install from unknown sources tick box
then use a Explorer, find the apk files downloaded from internet and install by clicking
3 - 2 GB is more then enough for about 500 apps
i think you'll be good to go for about some time until its become low

that wasn't it...
the "latest" version of super one click from the official site tries to root 2.2/2.3... that's what it says... which was why I was asking if there's a version for 4.0...
and the 2gb thing.... I listen to various podcasts etc and I can't seem to download them onto the 16gb card... it doesn't like it... but that's beside the point...
I have a few apps which came installed natively like docs to go, and fm radio etc which I would like to remove...
I might as well full root it and try to get a blank 4.0 rom.... just need to try to remember how to do it! :s

not sure which 9220 copy you have, just check on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646544 it has links to other 9220 copies, then find the yours
as I know, the simple way to check is your rom model number to ensure the right rom, patches... to flash

[Q] Anyone rooted a Alcatel a564c yet?

I got this alcatel a564c from tracfone and wondered if anyone has rooted this phone? I have seen some old threads asking about it but not much about developing.
I have tried kingo root and I am trying others but other posts have said none work. The last one in November.
I am interested in any info on finding an exploit that I could test out. I dont have experience developing a root but I could learn.
Thanks!

Try the framaroot application. That application works for many devices. My Alcatel got rooted too

I tried it before but I just tried the latest 1.9.3 version. No good. Thanks though.

Using x-plore file manager you can download movies and what not to sd card. I have this phone and have downloaded numerous movies and software directly to sd card. Something about backdooring kitkat, this may or may not help with rooting but it does help to eliminate the 4gig headache.

I have set all the download locations to my 16gb sd card. But installed apps use only the 4gb provided. I have a tendency to fill that. There are also some issues with the default apps setting getting reset. And I can not use google voice over wifi without a cell connection.

No, seeing the root of the SD card does not mean that you have root access to Android itself

It's crazy that as long as this phone has been out......there's still no root for it. It's a shame that Google decided to "fix" the security issues that most of us never even knew existed by limiting what we can use as default app storage with no way to bypass the restriction unless you have root access. Hopefully someone comes up with the solution soon or I'll be thinking of exchanging my Alcatel A564C for something I can actually use.

[Q] Cannot access SD-Card in Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H ?

Hello folks, i have Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H and i have rooted my phone and installed the CWM recovery, which i think has done good.
Even the phone after being rooted hasn't done me any good.
I had initially started a topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178
But the OP hasn't been able to give me some working solutions.
So i am asking to anyone who knows about this stuff. I have rooted and installed CWM recovery, that still given me authority
over my SD-Card, i cannot copy/paste/delete/rename basically access it fully.
The only way i can do is, remove the SD-Card and insert in a Card reader and copy/paste/delete etc.
But i cannot directly do from phone itself.
I already have fX Explorer, Solid explorer and ES File Explorer.
Nothing has worked, so i am asking can anyone show me how to do that.
I would be grateful for your suggestion.
Awaiting reply.

Have you flashed new firmware ?
New kernels (boot.img) have default ro acess to sdcard !
Please state your infos :
Model
Modem
Core build ...
The workaround I provide for this type won't work after update !!!
You will have to flash previous boot or recompile the new boot
Regards.

The FS /system and other too is/are readonly (ro) in device, so if u want to delete or copy inside this partition u must change it to rw (readwrite), it's better for you to use some Explorer root based application like FX Explorer with root addon ...
If u have copied the update zip to extSdCard and run the update procedure in stock recovery U should be able to copy/edit/delete files on your extSdCard - Card if the install were sucessfull.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

I have already installed at least a dozen of explorer, most promising was fx explorer with it free root access add-on, the other was ES File
explorer. They both can't copy/paste files to Memory card.
My device is Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H, Android 4.4.2. I have already rooted and installed CWR mode, but i havn't flashed my firmware.
I am searching now for a possible firmware update, that could access memory card.
Could you do a small part from your side and find a firmware that can be flashed in my device, i will try from my side. :good:
Will update , if i find some solution.

The users in this forum don't know how to read posts. U'r among them too. Sorry for my statement, but it's true.
It's not only the explorers,apps or managers that can copy files from/to. The KitKat have a fix for KitKat SDCard ro access.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

All of the stock firmwares uses KK RO acess for SdCard unless U install some custom & fixed ones.
Have also provided many tutorials in the subforums detaily how to fix it for GC2 models.
Latest firmwares uses some extra functionality regarding SDCards, fix will not work unless ...

OK, thanks for the statement. I accept, i am a newbie here. I can figure my way through most of the other forum out there.
But one pertaining to Mobile device require's little more knowledge, because its tricky, since there are a huge number of devices.
I am not a regular visitor.
Anyways, i found a firmware for my device.
Link:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G355H/
http://samsung-updates.com/details/42605/Galaxy_Core_2/SM-G355H/INS/G355HXXU0AOC1.html
The second link to the firmware matched the hashes to the link in the first link.
Did the Odin thing, and all the necessary steps. But still i am not able to copy/paste/delete etc function.
So i technically give up for this device, i'll use it as it is.
@StratOS_HTC: I tried the KitKat access app from Google Play store, a number of them. But they all showed similar results.
But i'll be open to your opinion.
Thank you.:good:

As said and will said again :
Please read carefully !
Hope your phone works ok and everything else on phone is ok.
If you can't access your extSdCard throught phone do a low level format ( and hope you don't use 64 GB ).
Hope also you don't use any other EXT partition on your sdcard. or any other sd linkage or swap options on your sdcard
Format the sdcard as only extFAT or FAT on any other comp card reader and reformat it on the phone !
Now you should be able to access the sdcard on your phone if every thing else on phone is ok.
If U'r rooted on stock ( KitKat sdcard restriction ) and if U have installed nextapp.sdfix and grant su access to it the app will change this permissions for you and you will be able to aceess rw to sdcard now.
