Need Help with a Rooted LG Volt - General Questions and Answers

Ok I have an LG Volt thats running Android Kitkat 4.4.2. it has like 4gb of internakl memory and I have a 32gb SD Card in it thats not being utilized. I rooted it because I read with a rooted phone you can move apps to SD Card and clear out bloatware, and I need to make space on my internal memory. I have 1gig of free space left and a game on my phone (that i actually want) is taking up another gig. I want to move that to my SD card but it only moves the app (which is only taking 3mb) it wont move the app data which is taking 1gig. How do I move that data to my Sd card?
Ive tried titanium backup but that doesnt list a move to Sd Card option. Ive tried link2sd, but link 2 SD card is greyd out and it says second partition not found (do i really need to make multiple partition on an SD card to do that? Why not just use the free space thats on its default partition?) and when I try to move it from my phone to my SD card in that program I get a failure message that says "App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your sd card" and then sometime if I try to link it says something about os emulation.
So what I need is step by step instruction on how to move an app (including its data) from my internal storage to my Sd card on my rooted 4.4.2 lg volt. OR how to upgrade my lg volt from kitkat 4.4.2 to Marshmallow 6.0 without bricking it because I hear Marshmallow allows you to turn your Sd card into internal storage which would give me 32 GB of internal storage instead of 8 thus I can keep all my app in my new "internal storage" and not care. Thank you.

surely someone knows >.>

Search lg volt on android forums. Go to root and there's going to be a various selection of threads. Currently devs are working on CM13 I have it installed on mine and yes my SD card is now internal. CM 13 works perfectly BUT some phones may have a green tint in there camera.

miui v10.4 apps not moving to external sd HELP!!!

Hello everyone...
this is my first post on xda since i couldnt find any solution if i'm at fault kindly bear with me
1. i flashed my gt i9003 with miui v10.4 a week ago and everything was going fine
2. but today i suddenly got a notification that my storage was full
3. when i checked i noticed that the apps i installed were on internal sd card which is just 2gb(1.7gb usable)
4. i tried moving some apps which were installed on phone memory only to see them move to internal sd card.
5. i have a 32 gb external sd card which is visible in file explorer and i can browse the files but the apps when moved from phone memory doesnt move to external sd card.
6. kindly help me out with the above issue where i can move the apps i installed on phone memory to external sd card so that i can use it for installing games and not limit its usage to just songs and videos.
7. thank you
As much as i have used miui-gb i think external sd sometimes stay as external_sd folder only...try to format or reflash the rom.
As phone is having 1.85 gb of internal memory why dont u use it until it doesnt get full ???
U can use sd swap which will interchange internal and external sd.

[Q] swap between internal and a sd card on mtk6582 phone

i bought a cheap mtk phone from tinydeal
X9S by xiaocai http://www.tinydeal.com/xiaocai-x9s-45-ips-mtk6582-4-core-android-422-3g-phone-p-115131.html
and he came with 4GB total(when i say total i mean internal is 1.62GB, phone storage is 1GB and i have no idea where another 1.3GB, i think it's the OS it self) i bought a 10 Class 8GB sd card and i though it was easy to install from play store to the sd card, but the problem it's i can't install directly to sd card and even can't move them after the installation, the only thing i can do is move the apps from internal storage to phone storage, can't install any app to the sd card(the sd card is working great, i copied some music into it and i can listen to it from the phone)
i read somewhere that i can change via adb to set location to external but it didn't worked for me, i also read that i can flash heb files but i don't have the original rom of this phone and also, this still doesn't solve the problem that i can't move apps to the sd card ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455850 )
all i want is just to install asphalt on this phone =\

Extra space /data

Hi all,
since i had very low experience with android devices (i use an lg g2 for a few months only), i ended up buying my wife one of this although i knew it had only 4GB of space, i had 16GB SD Card i thought would do the trick... In like 2 days its out of space, /data is only 1GB so the phone is practically unusable! Is there a way to rebuild android on top of the SD Card, or even mounting /data in sd card or maybe extending /data to use Sd card also?
TKS!

try to root, and use link2sd to move app to the SD or you can uninstall app that you cannot use.
my wife has too this phone.
you can root via framaroot, you can search at search panel.

A temporary fix would be to go to settings/ storage and set Preferred Install Location to SD Card. After that, go to settings/ apps - SD card tab. There you will find the list of movable apps. Just choose and tap Move to SD card in the App Info screen.
There are two ways to increase your internal memory
1) Use Link2SD Application and then move all apps from Internal storage to SD Card and uninstall unwanted System Apps
2) Partition your SD Card using CWM and make it as a Swap Partition, that would free some of your Internal Memory

Android 6.0 sd card internal external storage

Ive read a few forum thread but im still not sure so i need a conformation from anyone who really know about this stuff.
1. I set my sd card as internal storage . Unfortunately i cant use it as external storage. Maybe we can set two partition, one for internal ext4, and another fat32 as i use before for link2sd. But i think this wont work too. Is this correct?
2. Assuming setting it as two partition wont happen, i want to make use the foldermount apps to store data and obb in sd card. I tried, but it wont work. Write permission or something else. Do i have to patch it like kitkat before to enable it foldermount still not supported.
Im now back on lollipop rom until those issues solve.
Device - redmi 2, 8gb 1gb ram.
Sd card for external storage reasons, titanium backup, nandroid backup, media stuff.
Reason not using otg- more hassle, need to carry the cable. I reflash rom every day, sometime twice a day.

What happens if Link2SD were to lose root access?

So, I have an LG Tribute 2 that is messed up. It has Link2SD storing most of it's data on an external SD card, and needs root access to do so. So, before I flash a new rom, I was wondering if all the apps stored on it would be unbinded to the external SD and moved to the internal storage once Link2SD lost root access. Needless to say, if that were the case, that'd wreak havoc on my device, since I have about 8 GB on the external SD, and 5 GB on the internal storage, my LG Tribute, only having an internal storage of 8 GB, would be overloaded (Or something, I'm not even sure what would happen). So would the apps be be unbinded to the SD card? I'd really appreciate an answer, thanks!
