How to (basic) guide for flashing roms etc - LG G Pro 2

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.

[Q] Cellular South HTC Hero Rooting

I hope im posting this in the right place. I am VERY VERY new to rooting. I have read and heard alot about it but after reading the thread at xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581869 I decided to go ahead and root my phone. The primary motivation for rooting is the ability to run applications from the SD card because my Hero runs really slow. I flashed the ROM and created a backup but after trying many ways to download apps to SD, the last one read said I have to partition my memory card. The catch is, the thread didnt tell me that it would delete everthing on the card when i partitioned the memory card, following the thread i factory reset my phone. Doing this deleted all my save data and backups and now im worse off than i was before. After briefly describing my situation im hopeing that someone out there can help me.
QUESTIONS
1. Are there any ROM's that you can flash on cellsouth HERO that will work
2. How do I install apps to my SD card
3. Is there a guide on "how to" customize the HERO head to toe.
1. This is the only rom i have seen for Cell South http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731404
2. That rom should have apps2sd built in, so as long as you partition your sd card correctly, it will automatically do it for you.
3. Check the themes forum for more info.

Flashed the ROM? What do you mean by that? what ROM?
Sorry your in the wrong section..this is a QUESTION..there is a Q&A sub forum for these. i know your new but you had to see that when you were going through th forums to get here.
I am currently on the newest nightly for the Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 go to that thread download the newest nightly then go to the brainfukt kernel thread and download the latest stable kernel he has. click this link as you will need the google apps http://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/gapps-mdpi-20100816-signed.zip . Go to recovery flash the rom then the kernel then the google apps then reboot.
assuming you partitioned your sd card properly you will have the ability to use apps2sd
in order to use it you will need to go to ur settings and open CyanogenMod settings and choose applications. In there you will need to tick the box marked move apps and then choose external on the drop down menu. once you do that then you will be able to install all your apps straight to your sd card and any that installed automatically once you synced your account you can go in to the main settings application setting and physically move those to sd card by choosing the app and it will give you an option for that. If you need any help or advise during that process feel free to shoot me an email or pm

[Q] [Help a new owner!] Incoming massive request for help.

First off let me thank everyone who is going to help me through my issue.
Everything started yesterday when I got a16 gigabytes new SD Micro card. I originally got the card so I can move my applications from the internal 16 gigabytes storage to that SD Micro card . After searching through the web I have realized that I cannot move my applications to the external memory until I root my device and so I did it using a guide from this website. after rooting my device I downloaded every application in play store that is used to move applications from the internal memory to the external one.And for some reason all of them failed'Someof them said that there is no enough memory. and some others said I have no External memory inserted "already checked in settings and it says external memory 14.98 Gb free. After that i read another guide which Said I should get Rom manager to partition my memory card.and I did download the Rom manager . I tried to partition but it said I don't have CWM , and it asked ifit should install it so I accepted. mydevice wasn't listed. I chose a random one and now I'm afraid I have broken my 3 days old note 10.1 . Could anyone help me please with
1. The Sd micro card issue(apps From internal memory't external memory.)
2. The random CWM device that I have downloaded and maybe installed.
3. Partitioning my card (if that's going to help.)
4. I'm new to android and have no idea what rooting is "although I did it anyways" and how I Can use rooting
Rooted note 10.1
Thank you again <3
Edit 1- 8 views no help? Id really appreciate it if anyone could help me.
I think some sort of reply will help you get started...
Note 10.1 only supports FAT 32. not NTFS. So you have to format your SDcard properly to begin with. I believe its true, you need to root your device to get AppOnSD support.
NEVER flash anything that is not intended SPECIFIC for your device. Always do a backup so you can restore it from an image if you happen to soft brick it.
Rooting pretty much allows you to get "super user" functionality. Most notably the ability to access system files.

I'll try to help with fixing your Note.
Can you get into download mode? Start with power off and press volume down and power at the same time.
If so download Check Fus (GGI version) from fus.nanzen.se and make you have Odin and the Samsung drivers as described in the how to root thread.
Check the back of your Note for version number; N8000, N8010 or N8013. Use Check Fus to download the correct rom for your country. If not the nearest one.
Follow the how to root guide (sticky in development) that explains how to install the rom. This should put you back where you started. Now, read a lot. Don't use Rom Manager.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1/ How to root instructions. Your replacing the rom from the instructions with the one you downloaded from Check Fus.

I said I think I broke my note because I downloaded and installed a random cmw from Rom manager when I tried partition my sd card .
And I have a problem moving apps to the sd card. In app2sd it says it's emulated andin droids it says memory is full.
Then I'll back out. I've no experience of apps2sd on the Note. Have had no cause to use it. I strongly suggest you read a lot more before you attempt anything else involving door, partitions or CWM.

[Q] Root Axess TA2508-7BK tablet

I bought an Axess TA2508-7BK tablet running 4.1.1 recently and after installing about ten apps and an offline Google translate language package it has become so slow that it is almost unusable. I bought a 16GB SD card that I would like to use as internal memory but moving the APS to the SD card through the operating system doesn't seem to do anything. I would like to root it, partition my sd card, and use an app like linktosd but there are no instructions anywhere on rooting this tablet. Thanks!

I assume it is not possible yet because nobody has figured out how or written a program yet. Is this correct? Are there any other tricks to download programs apps and data to the SD card to keep the memory free? Are there any other threads on this topic? Many thanks.

Awesome! I'll post what info I find.
So two emails and one week later and I still have not heard from areas customer support. Any other ideas?

[Q] Rooting info needed / Please help soon.

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.

Help, please! Custom recovery and Root for Acer Iconia One 7 B1-780.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm new to this and wrestling with the learning curve but I have spent time doing searches and trying to find an answer myself before asking for assistance.
I have managed to unlock my bootloader and, as I understand it, I should now find a custom recovery for my device before I try to root it. I have searched and searched but I have not been able to find a custom recovery which is definitely for my Android and I don't want to brick the thing. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Beyond that, any advice on the best rooting options would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running Android 6 on an Acer Iconia One 7 B1-780 (MTK8163).
It seems like nobody is working on this tablet... so sad because its got a great screen and is very responsive, I have also looked for a custom ROM or the right way to root it since it comes with so little space but to no avail. If you´ve found something let me know please.

If you're worried about the lack of space (as I was), you may use an SD card as internal storage. I did that, and at first, I thought all was well. However, it wasn't very long until I started getting the insufficient space message when installing apps. What I forgot to do, was MIGRATE the data from the internal space to the SD Card when I was asked if I wanted to use the inserted SD card as adoptive storage. If you skipped that step as I foolishly did, you may change it manually in the storage settings. Simply use the three-dot menu (top right) when looking at the SD card storage menu. Select 'Migrate Data' and it will push app data to the card opening up lots of internal space.
I now have over 10 gigs of apps installed to my 32 gig micro SD Card with 1.5 gigs used of the 3 (!) available in the included internal space.
Some apps still continue to install to the internal space. Simply move the app to the card manually (again in the storage settings). However, some apps CANNOT be moved to the card. Thankfully, in my use, these apps seem to be rare.
All the best!
