[Completed] ZTE Citrine(Z717VL) Custom rom or a way to use SD card storage as Internal storage - XDA Assist

Got this phone recently from tracfone. great phone for the price. Small internal storage, 8GB but after all the system stuff more like 3gb. So this leads me to my problem. I'm still an android noob didn't know how SD cards worked with
Internal storage thought apps would just install to it, but it seems I was wrong. So I did some researching it seems android 6.0 lets you use the sd card as internal storage. This phone came with 5.1. Then I started to look into rooting the phone and getting a rom of 6.0 put on it. I soon found out this phone is like the red headed step child of ZTE phones. No official support, the phone isn't even on the ZTE website. Cant find any custom roms for it. So im stuck I like the phone Its just hard to work with that limited of internal storage for apps. Any help would be appreciated.

Xperia Tipo messed up!

Hi guys. Fresh blood here. I recently got into Android world and I'm slightly confused. I have read many threads in here but I still managed to mess up my phone.
I rooted it using UnlockRoot. Then I tried to "swap" my external 16GB SD (sandisk Ultra) for my internal 2,5GB and absolutely killed my phone.
First of all, It can't read neither "Internal Memory (2,5GB)" nor "External SD (16GB)". And I get some errors on booting and when I connect to usb It just can't be read by my computer.
Any idea? Am I doomed to use my phone as a simple 20$ nokia with 700mb memory?
I desperately need to read some news from you.

[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] LG K3 LS450 from Boost Mobile (Help with Root)

Hello,
Looking for help rooting my LG K3 LS450, I've tried at least 6 root apps both from the PC and from the Phone. Is there a way to manually root a phone which isn't compatible with any root applications currently available? The phone came with 8gb of storage and about 1gb of that is free for use, the rest being bloatware. I purchased a fast SD card to format as internal storage but the phone doesn't allow that option. And of course I can't remove any of the bloatware, leaving me unable to install what I'd actually like!
Thanks!

[Completed] Cannot access Internal Storage after adopting external SD Card as Internal Storage.

Hello, everyone!
I am in a desperate need of help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I formatted my external SD Card as Internal Storage on my device running Android 6.0 as I though it would be pretty cool.
But then I realized that I wont be able to use my true Internal Storage for storage purposes. So, I just removed my SD Card from the Micro SD Card slot and switched ON my mobile to see if that fixed everything. But of course, it made it worse.
After that, I decided to wipe my ROM and just flash the same ROM again (it was CM 13). But that did not work too!
I flashed a lollipop ROM (CM 12.1) and that made everything come back to normal. But I still cannot access my internal storage in Marshmallow ROMS.
Please help somebody. I am not an expert in this stuff. This is the first mobile I have ever rooted or flashed a custom ROM on.
My mobile device - Lenovo K3 Note. (Lenovo K50A40)

Huawei GR3 2017 (can't transfer apps to sd card)

HUAWEI GR3 2017 (PRA-LX2)
Android 7.0
EMUI 5.0
Internal Memory: 16GB
So at first I don't have any problem with my phone but as time goes by here comes its weakness, its internal memory running low. Every time I need an app to be downloaded I need to uninstall app/s in exchange of the new one. In my case I don't want that kind of process, in short I want many apps on my phone. So I bought an sd card (128GB CLASS 10) because I saw a solution here in XDA. A solution of partitioning the sd card using its half memory to be an internal of my phone to increase it to have more apps but unfortunately it didn't work I don't know why. I didn't want to root my phone because of some issues of bricking it. This partitioning don't required rooting. I gave up and tried to root my phone because I saw some video on youtube using apps like "App2SD". Again, rooting doesn't work on my phone so I can't use that app. One more thing in the settings of my phone, when I go to apps then storage, I can't find the option of moving the app/s on sd card. Sorry one more thing is my phone can't reformat the sd card as an internal memory. Please help me, give me all your knowledge about this. I hate running low on memory. Thanks in advance!
NOTE: I tried rooting using Kingroot and Kingoroot (Android not PC version) only. I haven't tried the PC versions.
