[Completed] [Q] skinny nz v795

Hi I am completely new to this and am having trouble finding the right threads, so I apologise in advance if I am doing something incorrect. I have (or rather my son has) a ZTE V795 ANDROID VERSION 2.3.6 BASEBAND VERSION MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V4.P11
2013/09/13 14.37 KERNEL VERSION 3.4.5 BUILD NUMBER V795_T01 which I believe has a very small non-sd card internal memory. It also has a new 16GB external sd card memory. I have a Windows Vista computer dual booted with Lubuntu/linux and another running Windows 8.1 which I can hook up to the phone if necessary. First I would like to create a recovery image of the phone, so I can restore the phone to its current state, should I get something wrong. Then I would like to root the device (Does Framaroot work on this model?) with an aim of swapping the internal for external memory (understanding that it voids warranty etc.). The final icing on the cake would be to expand the "RAM"/cache, again using the sd card in place of the internal memory - please excuse any incorrect terms. Has anyone attempted these things before, and if so where can I look/ Thanks in advance,. Rob.

[Completed] Gionee Elife s5.1 - Internal Storage Issue

I am having Gionee s5.1 phone with 16GB storage (no SD Card support) running on 4.4.2 Android version. The phone storage divided into 2 sections:
6.25 - This is called Internal Storage. Android version is installed on this with pre installed applications.
9.75 - This is used for media storage and currently no file or images in this storage.
I have uninstall all the unnecessary applications (Pre-installed) from the phone and keep only Cleanmaster, Whatsapp, Facebook Messagner and imo. I have automatic update of apps is off as well as from google play store.
Now the problem is, when I bought this phone it has around 2.3 GB space available and a week back, with above configuration and application, it shows mes only 471 MB space left. I have gone through each and every application manually and removed the cache also used Cleanmaster for the same but no help.
Someone told me to do Factory Reset to resolve this and I do last week. At that time my internal storage back to 2.63 GB free of 6.25 GB allocated and I am happy. Again I configured my phone with above software and disabled the auto update of apps from google apps a week ago. Today, when I go to Settings -> Storage, it shows only 400 MB space left of 6.25 GB. I am not sure what to do and how to deal with this situation. I googled solutions to deal with it like root the phone (King root used) and use Link2SD or App2SD to move the apps but those app said SD partition not mount. I tried minipartition wizard to partition for 9.75GB as shown on the various blgs, but my phone shows message of Corrupted SD Card. No luck... :crying:
Can any one let me know how can I merge internal storage (6.25 GB) with phone storage (9.75 GB) to use the phone without any issue?
​Or
How can I use the Phone Storage as Internal Storage and move applications to Phone storage?
Urgent help is greatly appreciated...

[Completed] Android Marshmallow SD Card Adoptable Storage issues - not mounting / not insterted

I need help desperately.
Phone: Moto X Play - Android 6.0.1
Today I took a couple photos and as it was writing on the SD card, the card suddenly stopped working. I have all my photos I am desperate to get off the phone.
The SD card has been formatted as internal storage or adoptable storage and can only be read by the one cell phone.
There is an error message that comes up saying, please insert Lexar SD Card. When I reboot the phone it finds the card and attempts to mount it for about 1 min then stops and says 'card not inserted'.
I've tried this card in another android phone and it detects and reads but can't load because it has been formatted as internal storage for a different phone.
I've tried to read it on the PC, but it is not formatted in a way that PCs can read it.
I've tried to erase the internal cache.
Please I am really desperate for any ideas to extract the photos from this card - they are very valuable to me and unfortunately I haven't backed up the most recent family trip photos.
A saving grace is that I have the high res versions (not full res) backed up on google photos, but I would really like the originals for printing.

[Completed] Looking for possible solutions to memory partition problem on MTK device...

Hello.
I recently purchased a chinese off brand tablet and had an unexpected issue with the memory being partitioned. The model is vKB011B and it's processor is mt6592. It's running a Mediatek flavour of Lollipop 5.12.
The issue is that, while it has 64GB of internal memory, it's memory has been partitioned into one 4GB block of "Internal Storage" and one 60GB block of "Phone Storage". Apps, and most app data, all install to the 4GB partition so it runs out of memory very quickly. I can side step the issue to some degree by moving apps to "Phone Storage" but only some apps can be moved like this.
Basically I want to gain more access to this memory for the purpose or installing apps. I rooted the device and tried to use App2SD but it seems that this app only works with an External SD. I found a thread here describing a way to tell my device where to install apps but this doesn't appear to have any other option but "internal storage" and "external storage". I tested it just be sure and it doesn't change the install location without an external SD.
So I'm looking for what I can do to make my device install to the 60GB partition and preferably any app data as well.
Alternately I found this thread regarding altering partitions....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/guide-repartition-internal-memory-data-t3052242
But I am uncertain if this will work the same with my particular device since it sounds like his device has unified memory he's just stealing from the system memory. It also seems fairly risky if there is a means of simply installing to the 60GB partition with out altering it.
Finally, I am wondering if there is anyway to switch my device to unified memory?
Thank you very much for your time.

However I am facing a problem the external sd card(16gb) is being shown as sdcard0 however it should be sdcard1 also all the system files from camera images,Bluetooth files to apps downloaded from third-party appstore everything is being stored in this external sd card also there are certain apps which are caches & data in both internal & external storage at this rate my external sd card run out of space I use that card in multiple devices so I can't afford that also in case I remove it some stop working. When I checked in settings and the phone's bundled file explorer there the external sd card was shown as external storage but can't find any way to correct this. Also this all started after I removed external sd while the phone was running, and when I put it back error was shown "sd card damaged
Please format to use" but I continued without formating I think this info will useful to ones who may try to solve problem . I will tell about my phone, its a gionee P5W with 1gb ram, 1.3ghz quad-core arm 7, and android lollipop
