I am using a mt6582m device with kitkat 4.4.2 with supersu.
I can use root to write to system, data and cache using es file explorer, can also read and write to any sd card, but apps like titanium backup, online android backup, ram expander can't read/write to sd card.
Eg.1: ti backup read backups, can do all operation except backup and restore.
I had read a lot, changing backup path didn't helped nor any odex file is there. Using v6.1.5.6.
Eg. 2: ram expander can create swap file on sd but can read it saying 'not found'. Swap can be used with cache partition.
Eg. 3: online nandroid backup says pat not vaild.
I had tried, sd fix app, manually editing platform.xml, xposed module to 'handel external storage', change permissions using es file explorer, editing ramdisk.
There is storage/sdcard0 and 1
Also mnt/sdcard and mnt/sdcard2 (symlinked)
Also mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 and 1 (not readable even in es file explorer)
What should i do to fix this issue? Please help.
FIXED
Go here to fix by using king user instead of Supersu. Source of fix:By sagarwep
Even I am facing this thing. How I solve it:
1. Open RE.
2. Face error.
3. Close the app.
4. Force Close it.
5. Open it again.

Titanium backup? Oh that is because of no BusyBox. Maybe this error is too because of BusyBox only. By RE I meant, Root Explorer.
Installed busybox. So...? What now?

Please ask him that who helped him to root his phone..I even used Team Viewer for much time to root his phone. Ask any user whom I dined to help.. Also I wrote that because people just post on Facebook and don't reply anything there which makes the guide feel 'useless'. And IDK what's the matter.

My software on my droid x2 isn't doing good. From what I have seen something will happen in the background that causes all my system apps to restart, only they never finish restarting which begins to devour my memory and eventually leads to my phone freezing up. Also the ringtones like to change randomly to default (alarms set in third party apps too).
I was hoping rooting and getting rid of bloatware would solve this problem but it is still persisting. I thought I could restore backed up system apps with Titanium Backup so I was removing the apps. I'll leave them "restoring" for 45 minutes with no luck (I tried both just restoring the app and restoring both apps and data). So apparently it doesn't work like that.
My question is if I do a factory reset with my phone in its current condition, will I have an issue?
If u diddnt freeze the apps then you might. Did u back them up before u removed them?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Yes I backed up all of them, but when I go to restore them it doesn't work. It just keeps restoring them eternally. I waited 45 minutes for app only restore and it wasn't done.
If I am just clearing data in the process of a factory reset, can I maybe wipe data manually or with a tool that wipes data?
Anyone know the answer to this? I tried installing from the apk pack of services, but not all of them would install. My phone really needs a factory reset, I'm getting a lot of software related errors.
Could I maybe manually wipe certain apps? If anyone happens to know which built in apps are okay to wipe I would like to know.

Yes you can wipe an apps data. Go to applications in the settings menu and then click on the app you want to clear and select clear data.

Not all the apps in system can be installed via tapping on them. They need to be manually moved to system/app then change permissions. You can copy all over using root explorer

All you need to do is swap internal and external mount points. My Eclipse ROM has this built in. There is an init.d script that is floating around here that will do it as well.

With installed ADW Launcher EX:
This build is for Viewsonic Viewpad 7. I’ve made this build mainly because I had one big problem with stock one – it was offering little space for my apps. I've used this opportunity to add extra features and remove some annoying ones. Here is the list of changes:
based on latest official stock Viewpad 7 firmware Android 2.2.2
added Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.2 functionality (require that you have extra partition on your SD card for storing your apps; exact procedure to create one is described in installation procedure)
fully deodexed and zipalligned ROM
ROM is rooted (Superuser.apk + su)
installed BusyBox with support for init.d scripts
replaced "Welcome" boot animation with stock android 2.2 animation
installed Gingerbread keyboard
installed Morelocale2 for more languages
modified framework-res.apk and services.jar with Gingerbread look like + % battery
removed Aldiko,RSS, TouchPAL_M20
updated gapps to newest version (Gmail, GoogleQuickSearchBox, Maps, Market, VoiceSearch) & YouTube
modified host file for ad-free
Now you don’t have to worry about decreasing internal storage when you install more application. You don’t also lose access to application when you phone is connected in drive mode to computer, because application data is being hold on ext3 partition on SD card. That partition isn’t mounted when your phone is connected to computer. The things that are redirected to this partition are: /data/app, /data/app-private and /data/dalvik-cache. Firmware should also work with compatible devices such as: Cherry Mobile Superion, Commtiva Linx N700, Olivepad VT-100, Spice MI700, and Camangi FM600 but I don't have these devices, so I cannot verify. As always make a backup before installing any custom firmwares.
Requirements:
installed Clockwork Recovery Partition as described here [TOOL] Viewpad 7 Backup, Root & Recovery
Changelog:
V1.0
initial release
Installation:
Power down your device.
Power on device holding power button and both volume keys simultaneously.
Upon power up you will see the birds logo and 'enter recovery' text in the top left corner of the screen.
Use the volume keys to step through the menu, power to select and back. (there is bug in clockwork when you press volume keys it jumps 2 steps; to jump one step press and hold volume and then press power to select)
Select the "advanced->Partition SD Card" item, next select size for your Apps2SD partition (1024MB recommended), next select 0 as size of swap partition. (Remember that this will delete all data on your SD card, so make backup of SD card if you need !!!)
After the partitioning will be done select the "reboot system now" item.
Using USB cable connection or SD card reader copy CleanViewpad7_signed_v1.0.zip to root folder of SD card.
Power down your device.
Power on device holding power button and both volume keys simultaneously.
Select the "backup and restore->Backup" item to make a backup of the current firmware in case something goes wrong. The backed up ROM should be located in: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/date&time/
Select the "wipe data/factory reset->Yes – delete all user data” to clear old stuff.
Select the "install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard" item and select CleanViewpad7_signed_v1.0.zip.
After flashing will be done select the "reboot system now" item. First boot may take a few minutes.
Migrate from stock or another build:
Make backup of your phone using Titanium Backup (select all user applications).
Copy all files and folders from SD card to local folder on your computer.
Install Clockwork Recovery Partition, create partition on SD card and install ROM as described in installation guide.
Copy all files and folders from local folder on your computer back to SD card.
Restore applications using Titanium Backup and reboot your phone.

Nice work bro.although it would be better to use the latest a2sd version of darktremor(2.7.5.3)
which supports ext4 partition and data2sd feature.so instead of adding a2sd 2.7.5.2 you can provide a link to the flashable zip of the latest DT-a2sd (http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip). it works i have tested it.

yes i have it rooted. what i had to do was boot the stock rom boot.img with this rom. working great right now.
I followed the directions in the first post and then downloaded the file from post#2.
Once you have the file from post #2 on your SD card, rename it to update.zip and then boot your device into Clockwork Recovery and select the "update from zip" option. Rebooted and my device now has 167MB of available space on the internal phone storage.
Thanks guys... this is the way the device should have shipped from Viewsonic, and although it aint no Gingerbread, I'm finally happy with my Viewpad after several months if dissapointment.
One thing that I find to be very strange is that it appears that some data is saved somewhere?
Even after I performed the following:
Formatting the SD Card
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik cache
Load the new ROM
Did not log into any kind of google account and basically skipped all the setup options.
The device still shows all the wireless hotspot data that I logged into before. Why does it have the password for my WiFi router after all those steps were performed.
If I were to sell the device to someone else, is there any way to be sure ALL data has been cleared from the device?
Cheers!
Great work, good to see another ROM for the Viewpad!!!
Will for sure try it...
A few questions:
You are using the a2sd version of darktremor(2.7.5.3), I personally use Link2SD which also moves all data, cache,... to the 2nd partition of the SD card...
It's actively developed and it's free, so check it out...
Is this ROM with the kernel from tj-style? Then we can overclock to 824Mhz and it gives a nice speed boost...
If then you do not want to use it for your ROM, you can set it to the stock speed with SetCPU...
Thanks,
Nick
Since many people are requesting for TJstyle's oc'd kernel.I modified this ROM to add the kernel and some other stuff.
Here is the download link:

Worked perfect here! I love the boot animation! This is exactly what i needed! many thanks to everyone here for helping out!
Have installed this rom and the dark tremor update but my phone storage is still decreasing when I install apps. I have set up an ext 4 partition on my sd card.
:'(
I keep getting a message that my phone storage is low. Now in addition to that, it's declining text messages from coming in due to the lack of space. I don't have that many App's installed, so I'm not sure how to free up more space. I cleared all the web cache and history, deleted every App that isn't essential. Are there any other things I can do to free up space?
Thanks,

Install App Cache Cleaner from playstore.
No offense but you sound noobish.. go to Settings and check Storage.. (internal memory)
Btw which Rom are you using??
Go to Message >> Settings >> See if you have checked Delete Old Message option!!

None taken! This phone only cost me $20, so I figured that I'd go with an Android instead of a normal phone. I don't use it enough to eclipse the "noob" level. I just downloaded the App Cache Cleaner and it freed up almost 2MB! Now I got 26.68MB Available space. I'm just using the Rom that came with the phone.

Search on the market for 'apps2rom'. That will do the trick.
The only downside is when you flash a new rom after that, the apps you moved to the system partition got erased... But it definitely worth the trouble!!!

I've been very happy with how android assistant does both jobs. Plus you can use it to back up your apps. You might want to give it a try

I keep getting a message that my phone storage is low. Now in addition to that, it's declining text messages from coming in due to the lack of space. I don't have that many App's installed, so I'm not sure how to free up more space. I cleared all the web cache and history, deleted every App that isn't essential. Are there any other things I can do to free up space?

None taken! This phone only cost me $20, so I figured that I'd go with an Android instead of a normal phone. I don't use it enough to eclipse the "noob" level. I just downloaded the App Cache Cleaner and it freed up almost 2MB! Now I got 26.68MB Available space. I'm just using the Rom that came with the phone.

You said you have less no. of apps in phone.. still you have only 26MB space left.
I think you have not moved the apps to SD card..
Go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage Apps.. >> Downloaded Ones.
Select apps one by one.. if you see the option of moving the app to sdcard.. do it.
Many will have the option.. many wont.. but you will save alot of space in internal memory!!

No offense but you sound noobish.. go to Settings and check Storage.. (internal memory)
Btw which Rom are you using??
Go to Message >> Settings >> See if you have checked Delete Old Message option!!

I don't think so. I'm just running whatever came stock with the phone. There might have been a firmware update, but that's it. Can you root this phone for free? If yes, can someone send me a link for directions. Also, what ROM would you guys recommend once I have the phone rooted?
Thanks,
-Adam
What rom you choose to use is completely up to you, there are several and yes you arent rooted...you have to find a program called gingerbreak v1.2 or superoneclick....im not sure which one would work for you but i used gingerbreak....rooting simply allows your phone superuser access which in terms can modify system files and the like. I dont have a direct link as of right now but you can search on google for ( sweetnsour how to xda lg optimus t ) and it should be the first link as he (sweetnsour) created the thread. Also im pretty sure youve got new baseband which allows for better signal. V10 is old baseband, v20a,b,etc...is new baseband, all of the current roms now only support new basebands but before i get ahead of myself considering you dont even have a rooted phone, do some research, before you attempt any kind of modification to your device make sure you fully grasp the idea of what your trying yo learn or else you end up with a shiny brick

I'm eligible for a new phone in December, so until then I'm gonna stick w/ what I got.. especially now that I have enough free space for my phone to work properly. Looking forward to getting a 4G phone w/ flash capability in a couple months!
Your phone now has flash capability but of course you have to be rooted because it requires installation of adobe flash player and adding libs to the data/data/flash folder than setting permissions

So I downloaded the "GingerBreak-v1.20.apk" file from that thread. It says to save this file to the phone storage and then run it to root the phone. I thought that you couldn't save anything to phone storage w/ an un-rooted phone. I also downloaded the "GingerBreak_exploit_source_from_APKv1.2.zip" file. What is this for?

Each every Android version is rooted in their different ways. First.. You need to check which version of android your phone is on!! Go to Settings .. About phone. If it is on 2.2.x (Froyo) you can use z4root or gingerbreak. Gingerbreak is easy to use.. put it in sdcard(or if you have downloaded it.. it will be there already).. install it and then run the installed program. Done.
If you are on 2.3.x (gingerbread).. then you have to use something else.. these s/w like z4root etc wont work.
You have the link to sweetnsour's thread. Read everything carefully. Have complete knowledge before doing anything.. or else you will brick your phone!!

I'm running 2.2.2. When using Gingerbreak, you don't need the file on phone storage? it can be on the sd card? Also, in the video, the guy using z4root didn't have a sim card in his phone. Is this because rooting also allows you to essentially break into the phone and then choose which carrier you want to use? i.e. the guy in the video might not have had a carrier yet (which would explain not having a sim card).
Thanks for all the help,
-Adam

Gingerbreak works from the SD card directly. Copy Gingerbreak to the SD card & run the app to root your phone.:good:

Rooting allows you to remove 'system' apps or install a custom recovery & custom roms. It does not carrier 'unlock' your phone, which is a different process ! Google's your best friend for this....
Hope this helps.
Hi Guys,
I've been searching P780 Forum and I'll share you on how to repartition your P780 - 4GB. Check out below. Please be informed that I'm not the original maker of the mod or the guide, I'm just posting them here.

Steps & How To
Backup any apps, data and also whatever files you have in your internal storage (holiday pictures, wedding video, music, etc.). After this mod you'll need to do factory reset and all will be gone. You can unmount your SD Card if you need to.
1) Extract "tools-for-reparted.zip". You'll find these files below
2) Root your device using Framaroot. Open the app, choose Boromir. If success you'll see a notification asking for reboot. If Framaroot force closes, just re-open and re-do the steps. Don't forget to reboot.
3) Copy recovery_P780_CWM_6.0.1.5.img into the root of your internal storage path.
4) Install Mobileuncle MTK Tools and open it. When asked about Root Access just choose grant
5) Backup your IMEI first :
6) Install CWM Recovery using MobileUncle Tools, then when asked to reboot into recovery just do it.
7) In recovery mode, choose install, find Lenovo-P780-ReParted-0.2.2-ID-EN-Aroma.zip and follow the instruction.

This works on 8GB ? Can we repartition that too ?
Thanks for this.
Will find time to try it.
Can I repartition on custom rom
Firstly, thanks for sharing with us. Do you use this MOD on stock rom or custom rom?
Thanks for the post distan7, only thing to add is that at the end, you must do a factory reset via CWM otherwise the phone goes into a bootloop.
@dentist7 This mod needs CWM/TWRP. It will work for stock ROM and MIUI. Didn't test this using AOSP.

Update to S123 first and then partition as flashing the new ROM will set the partition back to factory default.

Those ROM are chinese ROM, and as I recall have different partitions layout.
You can try, the worst thing might happen is a bootloop which can be fixed by reflashing your phone using FlashTool (ROW S123 or Chinese S129/S135).

Rom which I have on my p780 is LiFe v.07 with TWRP and I had gravitymod2 on it. I used Aurora ReParted to change the internal memory which changed fine - there was on the end 2GB space for instalation files(avalible 1.86) and no Phone Storage
Right now i can turn on the phone and load the system but it is not working proply. In TWRP when i try to mount usb storage it says that e: cant be mounted becouse is not found.
Log from TWRP:

Could you point me what to do with this Ebr files from Life??
I had my mobile just 2 days working after I bought it and i was just going to change it from my old one and partitionin was the last thing to to :/
Big thanks.

Ok. Let's see. Look what you have to do.
1. Do a full backup of your ROM. TWRP. On SD card.
2. Flash again LiFe.
3. Reboot once.
4. Download P780_LiFe_v02_ReParted_Data_aroma. Zip not other file. This is the original file made by Xakep.
5. Reboot to recovery and repart. Be careful because the file is in Russian. Choose the 2 gb file.
6. After reboot, reboot again and flash your backup.
7. Good luck.
8. If something goes wrong tell me.

I did flashing and all went good. After flashing i have basic LiFe v07 with two partitions on it as it was on the beginning.
I am going to use reparted now but on this pure LiFe 07 witout any gravitymodes on and if this will go fine then I will add Gravitymod.
Will let know how are things very shortly
I have had it I have deleted all my photos AGAIN!!! I can't seem to see why KitKat made the Ext-SD Read Only : (ie photos in the internal memory) : WHY can't we access the internal memory from any of the recoveries and with all the other problems associated with the LB that we are all familiar with this is a really bad phone to root.
How did this happen ?
I downloaded a new ROM, made sure my phone had them both the ROM and the Dual Recovery flashable file on the SD and rebooted to TWRP. I then wiped out my everything but external and internal SD. After doing this I went to flash the ROM but couldn't find it (I know it was there but buried in one of the million sub directories.) Next I was interrupted at the door by my boss, we got to talking and I realized that my screen was off. When I returned the phone was in fact dead. #$#@ I screamed out loud because I knew what this meant. Despite my knowledge of how this operates I knew from experience loosing all my wedding photos that this wasn't going to go over well (read my previous thread of lost wedding photos).
Why even recommend rooting to anyone with a locked boot loader after all this is a phone people buy to use the camera. The photos are forced by default to internal memory and internal memory is extremely volatile on this phone
HAS ANYONE OUT THERE been able to get the data back I simply have no system/recovery partition now ?! Surely SOMEONE out there knows of a way to .ftf a system partition only so I can access my internal memory as the data partition is still fully intact..
If not I wont be surprised as this LB phone (camera) is a total disaster for me and I am regretting getting it in the first place... It's a real mess with these glitches ..

If you got proper root you're always able to backup. It's just your fault you lost your data.
If it's just system that's gone you haven't lost any actual data yet, get the ftf for the firmware you were using, flash it in flashtool with everything but system /kernel checked. That way it doesn't wipe data etc. I'm not at my computer so can't be exact but you get the picture just restoring system via flashtool should do the trick
Also if you use xposed there's a module to enable handling of external storage, that and setting pics to save to external memory card should avoid you ever having this issue again. There's also an app called folder mount that can be used to ghost internal directories to the external card too hth
Oh also, I may be wrong but if you were using philz if you let the screen go dark while your running something it stays dark till it's finished then a quick press of the power button wakes it back up, you should of waited a little longer if that was the issue

No worries pal, glad you got it sorted I'd be just the same if I thought I'd lost data that was important to me
Plus, why the hell are you not using google+ to backup your photos ?
Personally I use My PhoneExplorer to back my phone up and synchronise with my pc. It wil also back up all your photos to a folder in the My Pictures directory, sync your calendar and even make basic data backups. Been using it for years now, ever since I had a Sony Ericsson K700 phone
This is just a suggestion if you are also a bit paranoid in storing all your stuff on google.

Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
But you know that even without any rooting there is an option inside the camera app where to store pictures? You can choose ext. SD Card there. In my opinion it's not hard to find and due to your last disaster it's your fault not checking this. Since there are options to keep pictures on SD Card in fact you shouldn't blame the phone nor Sony.

Kind of short sighted and pretentious to think we would all see things exactly the same. Personally Google isn't the "answer" to all my problems. Secondly I have had numerous smart phones as most of us have and this Xperia although I love it I have to dance around the volatile situation it poses to have 4.4 limitations which requires root to be able to in order to write to SD (?!). Kinda weird if you ask me and this is just one more thing to setup and calibrate so between roms it is easily overlooked. As I don't actually use social networking all that much and I have such large photos among many other things. I am thinking of other ways to automate this in the future. I am looking for a more set it and forget it method and if I could persist this between roms so be it.
I would like to know who keeps everything they own online aswell today... I mean why do companies use a VPN for data archive ... when they can just sync EVERYTHING to the cloud ?
I ponder politics

Where is the field to edit the Thread and not just the first post ?
You should not flash ROMs in locked BL even if you have a recovery and root that doesn't mean it will flash a ROM.
