So I have a Z3 Dual D6633 and I love it to death, upgraded to Lollipop (not rooted) when I heard there was going to be a move to SD card function. Oh boy was I wrong, it doesn't move to your external SD card but your internal SD card which literally sucks. Anyways,
I'm following this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361
and as far as I know, I need to root, flash and all that good stuff when it's in Kitkat then upgrade to Lollipop by a Flash and pre-rooted Lollipop. Now the question I have is very simple.
My phone is a Z3 D6633 bought from Hong Kong. I want the language Japanese on it (I'm Japanese) but I recently moved to Sweden and use their SIM-card. So far, I can only find the RU version of a pre-rooted Lollipop. Does it matter what kind of pre-rooted Lollipop I get? Will I be able to make normal phone calls, SMS, MMS and all the normal functions just + with rooting. Also, if there's a way to move apps, games, movies or photos while functioning to my External SD card without actually rooting the device, please teach me how.
Regards,
P.S. I was going to follow this post for upgrade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361
What is it exactly you want to do?

As far as I know the version of pre-rooted lollipop is irrelevant to being able to send messages and stuff.

Currently without root there are very few apps capable of doing this, supposedly FileKommander is one of them.
Just simply want to root my phone but since there are only Russian and UK Lollipop's (that I could find). I'm wondering if it'll be stuck in that language and so on. I have File Commander on my device but I never tried using it. I guess there was no simple "Move app to SD" function so I guess I will have to move the entire folder and see if I can still run the app then. I do not want to have to root my phone just because I can't move apps to my External SD if possible.

There is also a Baltic Generic, and other versions. Look harder.

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?
Hi
I wanted to ask something about Rooting but couldn't find specific section for it or if there is, i am sorry i couldn't locate it. I apologize for it.
I have a Huawei Ascend G610-U20 with Android 4.2.1. The internal memory is 4GB but only 1.86GB is useable (on format). I am using Stock ROM.
I have some applications which are installed in phone memory (sdcard 0, not external sdcard). For example Facebook and by default it doesn't have the option of shifting to SD card, that option is turned off. Similarly this is off for Mix Cloud app. There are so many other apps as well. I use Dodol launcher and all it's themes are on phone memory and cannot be migrated to external SD card.
I found this thread of making SD card as default location for installation. I didn't do it being afraid to make any disastrous changes to my phone.
Then i got to know about rooting and i was again afraid of bricking my phone. This is why i am asking it here. I had previously another Android phone and i rooted it and then it started some problems mainly software clashes. e.g. when viber is being used and a phone call comes, phone restarted. I thought of at least considered that time that this is due to rooting.
My sole purpose of doing any of above method is, to be able to migrate those apps to external SD card which are by default not able to be migrated in stock ROM. Else than this i am not much advanced user and nor do i want to go further deeper.
What you recommend and what is the best way to do.
Just a point to mention, in case of using that 1st method of Android ADB method, i think it would need me to format the phone and then reinstall the apps. Am i right?
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
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

I have been able to move most of my apps to the SD card no problem on Lollipop.

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.

Okay, that makes sense.
Hi I have a question about my rooted Alcatel One Touch Pop Astro Model 50042T. First off I have rooted phones and tablets and moded gaming systems so I have a general-intermediate understanding of the process of rooting but I'm pretty much lost after that. (Also I do NOT have ready access to a PC for the time being.)
So my main concern is that my phone should have 4gb of internal storage and it is only showing that I have 1.80gb!! I know that there are partitions or divvied space that are hidden or you need special permissions to edit. Is that the USB storage? If I'm wrong about that sorry, please correct me.
So my question is how do I reorganize, modify, or even delete hidden partitions? Anything to return my phones visible 1.80gb of storage to the original 4gb? I just need to be able to access it again to install apps on it. If the whole 4gb is impossible, can I get it back to the 3.7-3.8gb that was available when I first purchased it? Please help!!
Im not sure its completely rooted. Im running king root version 4.9.6 and Purify version 1.5.2.159 and I might have installed a custom ROM or kernel but I'm not entirely sure. I got the pphone approximately 3-4 months ago and I rooted it the same night. And I tried multiple versions of king root and other apps and eventually my phone storage disappeared.
•I would install a root checker if I had enough space.
•I used purify to get rid of apps that I figured were bloatware but I still only have 43.82mb available
•I have transferred every app to the SD card that can be stored there.(If there is way to store system apps and apps that usually can't be stored on external SD I would like to know.)
•Im sorry this is my second post of this. I'm really not sure if I posted this in the right place the first time.
Thank you for your help,
Maxx

Hi there,
I am running a stock lg g pro 2 d838, and am constantly battling with the onboard storage. Ive got a 128gb memory card, but some apps just cant be moved.
I was wondering if someone were able to provide me with a step by step guide (I dont have any knowledge or experience with this) for the easiest way to be able to use my phones sd card for all apps etc.
Everytime I look at rooting, custom roms guide they appear to be written for those that already know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, why would you want to move all apps to sd card? I am not sure if you can do that.
You properly need root to be able to do it, so you have to root your phone first.
I think you need app on play store to move apps to sd card, you can search for it. I don't have a name of the app but I know there is app for that, it might need need as I said.
