I need to root an old tablet with android 5.1.1 to expand app storage and move some to SD card, but I saw here that apps like kingroot are not a good idea because of the adware/monitoring they install. What would be a "safe" way to root android 5.1.1?
The Device is a 7 inch samsung tab A tablet, model SM-T285M.
obs: I know the dangers of rooting my device, but as it has only 8gb of internal storage, I need root to install applications on the sd card, unless there is another way in this version of android..
Thanks
You can only install / move an app to the external SD if the developer of that app has allowed it. It doesn't depend on whether Android is rooted or not.

I've been looking and looking and couldnt find the answers. Please someone help
Some more information is needed to better assist you. What Device ? Rooted, or Non-Rooted ? What Rom ? What Android version ? What Recovery ?

What Carrier ?
EDIT:
You should be able to go to : Menu - Settings - Application manager . Then move the Apps to the SD Card manually. You can also use Titanium Backup to move the current apps, and data to the SD Card. But for the future you can use ROM Toolbox to make sure the apps install to the external SD. Finally you can check out THIS thread that discusses some of the same things you asking. Although the OP is trying to accomplish the opposite.
Hello!
I own a device named ASUS Fonepad 7 (FE170CG) which has an OS of Android 4.4.2 (Kitkat). The problem with Kitkat is that it does not third-party apps to save files on my SD card and it saves on my internal storage instead. My SD card is only 4GB (2.11 GB system reserved) and it's almost full now. There is no choice left but to root my device. I also wanted to uninstall some apps that were preloaded in my tablet that I do not use (e.g. Amazon Kindle, Omlet Chat).
Is there any reliable root app for my device? I have searched on other forums but no luck. I have found some videos in Youtube on how to root my device but some users commented that when they use root checker, it says it is not rooted.
I am hoping for your help.
Thank you and good day.
Hello team,
I need to move my GApps to my sd card. When android was in kitkat it was able to move to sd card without rooting from android sdk, but when i upgraded it to lollipop that method is not working. Whenever i try to install new apps from play store its telling not sufficient storage.
Is there any way to move every app to sd card without rooting.
My warranty will be voided if i root my phone.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Suhas
Bro don't worry about warranty avoid just root your device then use app2sd application alike link2sd .later on you can flash stock rom via flash tool. This way is better for phone having less internal memory like ours

Search for "root essentials" app it has features to mount external sd as internal. But as its beta has some bugs.thnks
i dont know a way but if you want to transfer obb files (have a lot of high end games like asphalt 8,, fifa 16,15)
download öbb on scdard from playstore
activate in the framework
reboot done you can transfer your obb files in sdcard/Android/obb/
Hi xda, thanks for being here for us wee users: WE KNOW YE ARE GODS:good::
My question is do i have to root my new Amp2 6.0.1 Marshmallow, in order to utilize the Samsung External sd card i bought for it ? The reason I ask is that the Amp2 would not recognize a Sandisk 16gb ext.sd, b/c 'no second partition,' NOR will it allow use of the REQUIRED Samsung ext sd, for the same reason, 'no second partition.' Link2SD is what i purchased for my S3, & it cannot move my apps for lack of two primary partitions. &, APARTED does not work without root.:crying: HELP PLEASE, as i don't really WANT root, since 'flashify' destroyed my S3. Thanks for REPLY.
Hi, I am no expert on this and I dont have an amp2 but I do have a samsung on5 from metropcs/tmobile which I believe to be equivalent maybe even the same just rebranded.
On the on5 you must format the ext sd card as internal storage not portable/media. This might have to be done on a pc. Then you must mount
the ext sd card as internal storage and make it adoptable. Samsung blocked this feature on their phones. This allows the phone's os to use the ext sd card for apps etc. I used an app called root essentials to do these steps. Here is an article that describes the issue further. What seems to work is further down where the author of root essentials describes the unrooted process which requires the use of adb. http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...sd-card-as-internal-storage-using-marshmallow
If u get it working , u will have to regularly clean cache and move apps and updates to sd. I use the app2sd tool in a package called android assistant to do the moves.
Your results may vary.
Finally, how much free internal storage do u have now on your amp2? I would like to compare to my on5.
Good luck!
