I mave an ongoing problem with my LG K7. It seems every time I download an app or an update I get a meddsge that there is not enough space for it. I have added a 32 GB Micro SD Card to help with this. The problem is I am not given the option to move software or anything else to the SD Card, to help with the spacr problem. So I have an empty SD Card while the phone is out of space. What functions or apps can I move to open up space and where can I find instructions on how to?
Sincerely,
Shelby

oka follow me ,, as we can increase fixed internal storage ,,, oka follow these steps:-
*root your device through supersu.zip link is below ,,just flash it through ur twrp recovery
*to get into twrp without root first u must flash twrp recovery through ur fastboot
and next below steps
* first go and grab link2sd application from play store
* go and get link2sd patcher from online ,,don't be worry about the link is below
*next patch link2sd ,,
*after patching done ,,go to ur files ,,and in that see link2sd plus key ,,and open ,,and check for license ,,and exit form that
*next go back to patcher and once again go to activate tab and select activate button
*nexr open link u will see link 2sd plus version ,,don't use any precracked apk's ,,
*next creating mount script ,,,download aparted from play store ,,or use easus partition master to create the filesystem called
ext-2 or ex-4 oka
*only that file system will work with mount script ,,as u are having 32 gb memory card calculate it with calculator and divide it into two partiton's like first partiton is fat-32 for ur device and second is ext-2 for link2sd oka
*next open link 2sd and create mount script into ,,the partiton u created for link2sd ,,it'll reboot ur device
*if ur getting mountscript errror ,,then unroot ur supersu from twrp with update unsu.zip,,link is below
*next if supersu fails then use kingoroot or kingroot method link is below
*next open link2sd , go to settings ,,and go down,,and select auto link ,,turn on ,,it'll automatically link ur apps form either playstore or from any other location
*as u should always use linking feature not apps2sd method in link2sd
*and next if u want to move any system app ,,u must convert that app to userapp in link2sd and then u can link it to sd card oka
*next this will work any app,,and note it'll not work for games ,,if u either link games obb folder ,,it'll not work oka note
*next don't download any link2sd app from otherlocation's rather than playstore ,,
*don't use precraked link2sd because it'll give some error's oka
due to less time,, i typed fastly

Thank You
Thank you for the assistance it is greatly appreciated. First off, can someone tell me if I am even in the right forum? While it may not sound like it, I am not totally stupid. I picked up my MSW from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in 1994, so I do know to read and write. To be honest with you, in about three months I turn 66. So the language I understand best is old man. While I am sure that at this time any 10 years old could understand this with no problems, I am unable to find one to explain it to me. Having said this, I have about as much chance of following these directions, as I do of getting a date with a Sports Illustrated Swinsuit Model. The reason being I am so far out of my league, I might as well be on a different planet. Now that you better understand my position. Is there anyone out there that could lower themselves to a point, where I might be able to understand and follow them, without having to first put on a diaper? Thank you very much for your time.

13.in astro, navigate to your sd card and install root explorer.apk
14. once installed, exit out of astro
15. mount you phone again to your pc and create a new folder on the root of your sd card called new build, and create another folder called old build.
16. download the two build.prop files supplied in my download link and save it to your pc's desktop.
17. now open the build folder on your desktop and you will see two files, one called build.prop.claro and another called build.prop.vivo.
18.delete the build.prop.vivo file.

33. accept the terms and follow the instructions... (it will ask you to put your phone in recover mode by turning off your phone and pressing the back button while plugging in your phone via usb) you can make this process quicker by simply already having your phone plugged in and simply pressing and holding the top power button+back button+home button until the green light remains on.
34. the program will tell you that there is new software available for your phone
35. install and enjoy 2.5
Extras step to making the experience even better!
i personally don't like the boot animation of the new 2.1 update and would rather not have the claro operator logo at the boot startup. the way to do that is:
root your phone again by following my instructions earlier, and install the root explorer.apk file again from your sd card. once your have root explorer installed and working navigate to SYSTEM and then to MEDIA. in media you will see a bootanimation.zip file, simply delete it.
Now for removing bloatware (operator specific applications):
to remove application that may be of annoyance, just go into root explorer again and navigate to SYSTEM and the to APP and dele and .apk files that are programs like ei: claro.apk... make sure you press the r/w button whenever you want to delete or overwrite something in SYSTEM. And be aware that if you don't know what your doing, you can brick your phone. SO BE CAREFUL!
And finally, as most would already know, this is all at your own risk. Sometimes its better to leave these types of hacks alone if you don't know what your doing.
I take no responsibility or credit for any of these hacks. thanks to all the members on XDA Developers for your support and help.
There are steps to make it simpler ... which is independent of the version they have in the cell (2.1 Uk or other ... 1.6) is achieved by having the American firm ... thus reduce it without diminishing the tutorial: alex0983
1. Planet app install
2. Find and install z4root
3. Permamente root install and follow instructions, the phone will reboot ...
4. In Planet app also find the Root Explorer and install ...
5. Connect the phone and copy the build.pro (Claro) to the SD and disconnect
6. Open root explorer and if I get a message to: super user ... allow him ....
7. mounted R / W. ... go the SD route where the build.prop copy and recopy this time from root explorer and find the path: / system and replace the phone ....
8. Turn off the phone ....
9. Connecting to Seus and select repair ...! and ready ... your phone now is American again! And firmware 2.1
10. To remove things Claro, just make the points 1,2,3,4! then the path / system / media to copy the boot loader found in the forum and in the path / system / app to delete the applications they say. clear (remember to mounted R / W)
I hope you find it useful! And that worked for me! Obviously, thanks to your tutorial alex0983 which also served me as a whole, but I found the quickest way!
Sorry for my bad english!
re:
hey no problem, i'm glad you found it useful. Sorry for the 35+ steps... I just wanted to make it easy to follow for people who had never done something like this before. Just trying to help ppl.
Actually the tutorial is very well prepared but no longer so necessary to the root from the phone! And for that we are in the community to help and facilitate the process to other users!
Kudos for you alex0983 and kloriahdez, thanks for your posts!!!

Hi
I have 2.1 update 1 version
Should this procedure work with this or it won't work
If not, how to root the phone?
I mentioned that kingoldstyle had the same problem. I also updated the phone prior to doing this procedure.
So, maybe kingoldstyle can help me with rooting?
How to use flashing tools?
Thanks.

Warning, you are the only responsable if your phone is inusable because of applying this tutorial. Don't do that if you don't know what's you do !!
So, if you accept the risk, here is what I did on my milestone XT720 (European) running android 2.1-update1 to have Link2SD :
What's you need :
Into your phone
Application AppInstaller (on market)
Application Universal Androot ( here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=378559&d=1281616832)
File ext2.ko (in sd card : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10866898&postcount=8)
Into your computer :
Programm MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
When you have that, you can start
1) Install all previous app and put file ext2.ko into your sd card
2) Connect your phone in pc on sd card access mode ---> Notice : it's better to use a computer card reader
3) Partition your sd card into 2 partitions with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition : 1 in fat32 and other in ext2 (partition in ext2 is used for your apps)
4) Disconnect your phone of your computer
5) Install Universal Androot with AppInstaller
6) Launch Universal Androot and root your phone by clicking root button
7) Install Application Root Explorer (from market) or another file explorer or you can use adb too
8) Launch Root Explorer, click on R/W button and paste the ext2.ko in /system/lib/modules/
9) Install Application Terminal Emulator (on market)
10) Launch Terminal Emulator
11) Type /system/bin/su
12) Accept superuser request
13) Type insmod /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko
14) Install Link2SD : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326 (UPDATE : Now available on PlayStore)
15) Launch it and it will work
Release of link2sd on my install was 1.2.1.
Upgrade to 1.4.1 added option to move dalvik-cache
Upgrade to 1.5.0 added option to have a second partition in fat 32, so step 7 to 13 no more needed in case of you format in fat 32.
Post if you find any mistake on this tutorial.
UPDATE : In most 2.2 customs ROM you simply have to make 2 partition and to create a link2sd folder on your second partition.
For that, open root explorer, go to /sd-ext and create folder link2sd.
UPDATE 2 : For CronosX 2.3.7 ROM :
-Make 2 part into your sdcard
-Install Link2sd from market and transform it as system app (Simply move apk to /system/app and reboot)
NOTICE : You will probably lost all installed app : to avoid that you can PROBABLY copy all your old ext part in first sd part and then move that to /data/sdext after you will achieve last step.
-Remove 05mountsd 07app2ext 11link2sd from /etc/init.d/
-Reboot
-launch Link2sd
Thank you very much,I will try to do this. I think this is the only application missing on this wonderful phone. Thanks again for your efforts.
i want to have a try
It seems that i have to download ext2.ko first
hi..
i've made it! but i'm using FAT32 Format as my 2nd partition.
Would it make any different in performance or anything if i'm using Fat32 as my 2nd partition instead of Ext2 format?
thank you,

I never tryed but I think that you will not see any difference because in stock 2.2 (on other phones) I mean that apps are moved to sd that is usually in FAT32. More, use a FAT partition is more easy because you don't need to insert ext2.ko.
Tutorial was for ext2.ko because it was the only way to use link2sd with link2sd 1.2
Thanks in advice bro...
newbie will try soon...

Are you using Root Explorer? If so tick that button on top right corner to R/W and not R/O. /system is a read only file unless you change it.

The button is a big part of the difference. By default /system is read-only. Root Explorer uses root to remount read-write and has a little button at the top to toggle write mode on/off. Explorer doesn't have the root features.

oh. okay. thanks a lot. but is there any way that I can install Root Explorer without having to purchase? if any,please tell me. but if not,then I guess I'll need to purchase it right?
Might want to try Astro but IHO Root Explorer (and Titanium Backup) is well worth the purchase. I use it several times a day.
I think File Expert also has root functionality, but I haven't used it myself.
try super manager, works perfectly fine when i tried to make system read write and i managed to edit something in the system partition. btw its free!! (it looks slightly more user friendly than root explorer) hope that helps!
how long does it take to download the Root Explorer after I've done purchasing it? I've been waiting for like,half an hour already. it's stated here,'authorising purchase'. I'm from malaysia.

Half an hour is too long. Go into setting->applications->running services and shut down Market. Then re-open the market and go into My Apps and you should see Root Explorer there. It should say Purchased. Just click on install.
Or
Go into setting->applications->manager applications and find the market. Clear cache and clear data and then re-open market and go to My apps.
One of those two should work. Try #1 first though.
I downloaded the leaked google music app from ICS, and it works great.
My only caveat is that when I choose to make something available offline, it goes straight to my internal storage (Motorola Atrix).
I have a 32gb microSD card with a dedicated folder for music. Is there a way I can get the offline songs onto there?
I currently use PlayerPro from the market, and I wanted to use the Google cloud for "wirelessly syncing" my music.
Any ideas?
Nobody was able to figure it out?
Does any other music player sync with google?
Wouldn't it be possible to somehow mount a folder that is located on the sd-card and link it to /sdcard/Android/data/com.android.music/cache just like it is done with the apps2ext hacks on low memory devices?
Would the file system of the sd-card then have to be ext instead of fat32?
Maybe someone who has more practical knowledge of the matter could look into this. I can only theoretically assume how it might work
I did some further research and found this post.
It describes how to mount an external sdcard to to /sdcard instead of sdcard. But would this also work with a subfolder of /sdcard?
I fiddled around myself a bit.
So here is what I did:
format sdcard as ext2
manually mount sdcard since it won't automatically when ext:
Code:
mkdir /Removable/MicroSD
mount -r -w -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /Removable/MicroSD
mkdir /Removable/MicroSD/GoogleMusicData
Then move all data from /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache to /Removable/MicroSD/GoogleMusicData/cache
I did this with root explorer since I'm not too much of a terminal h4xx0r.
Delete the folder /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/
Link the new Folder on external MicroSD Card to the original location via this terminal command:
Code:
ln -s /Removable/MicroSD/GoogleMusicData /data/media/Android/data/com.google.android.music
Since /sdcard is already a link like the one we are setting up here, it is not possible to link to this linked location (/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music).
Instead we have to link to the origninal destination of /sdcard which is /data/media.
Now the microSD card is accessible for root explorer. It shows read and write access.
But google music won't find it. It says that it doesn't have enough space to stream music so I figure that it somehow doesn't have access to the sd card.
What could be the issue here?
Also instead of 28GB free memory root explorer shows me only 364,44MB free memory. the command "df" in terminal however confirms 28GB of free memory.
Help please?
EDIT:
I thought that a reboot might do it. But it doesn't. Instead it gets rid of all the hacking I've done in terminal. So I guess I would have to place a script in /etc/init.d for the link to be set everytime I reboot, right?
Another Fix (no sdcard formatting needed)
This is a fix i figured out piecing together other peoples attempts.
Use this as a script
mount -o bind sdcard2/android/data/com.google.android.music sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.music
Alternately you can change the first location to the location of your choosing as long as it resides on the external as card.
Ex.
Mount -o bind sdcard2/music sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music
will bind:
sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music (google's forced save location)
to
sdcard2/music
Go to google music (play music now) settings and clear any music that is currently saved to your device.
this only applies to music made available offline. If you do not clear it before running the script the music will exist on your internal sdcard but not be accessible.
open script manager and find the script you made
Select it and make sure to click set on boot and superuser
Run Your script.
That is it now your default save location for google music is bound to the location on the external sdcard. the device will see the location as its default but really be saving to the external sdcard.
You can check this by going to google music. Selecting "make available offline" and look at the free space. It should shoe the space available on your external sdcard.
TLR Version (noob version)
I was getting a lot of questions about the preliminary steps here (i.e. rooting, writing script, etc) so i decided to attach the noob version in case anyone needs verification on how to accomplish these steps.
HOW DO I ROOT?
So, Rooting gives you full access and control over your phone. instructions for how to root are device specific. so i would start by searching XDA for "YOUR DEVICE one click root"
ex. samsung galaxy s2 one one click root
some devices are easier to root than others. i cannot provide steps for your particular device, but through XDA, and google you CAN find everything you need.
some devices have one click root tools, some do not, so the rooting process is more in depth for those devices.
rooting instructions are so device specific i could not find a generic set of instructions, and don't want to mislead anyone by linking them to a set of instructions not compatible with their device.
There is a risk of bricking your device (making it inoperable) while rooting, although the risk is minimal... almost non existent if you carefully follow instructions. I have rooted 5 seperate devices without bricking any, and, in most cases even if bricked the device can still be restored.
there are additional benefits to rooting, such as overclocking
for example my Galaxy S2 normally runs at 1.5 GHZ, i have increased the speed to 1.8GHZ
(NOTE** Without XDA DEVELOPERS i would have rooted 0 devices, and probably bricked at least one, so thank you to all of you out there who have helped me, I hope this method will help some of you in return.)
NOW THAT YOU ARE ROOTED...
INSTALL SCRIPT MANAGER..
First, to install script manager just go to google market (Play Store) and search for script manager
INSTALL ES FILE EXPLORER..
To make a script go to google market (Play Store) and find ES File Explorer
WRITE SCRIPT..
Open es file explorer when install completes.
in es file explorer click the menu button, and select "new"
when prompted select "File"
name your file something you'll remember
Ex.MusicScript
Click your new file
when prompted select "Text"
type this EXACTLY how you see it
Mount -o bind sdcard2/music sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music
press back and when prompted to save click yes
MAKE DESTINATION FOLDER..
now on es file explorer click "Favorites" (the star)
a new menu will pop up, at the top you willsee a picture of a phone with "/" underneath it click the phone
this will take you to the root directory
click the folder Sdcard2
click the menu button, and select "new"
when prompted select "Folder"
Name the folder music
Your script and destination music location are created
EXECUTE SCRIPT..
now open script manager
find your script which should be located in the directory /mnt/sdcard and the file name you chose earlier
select the script
open as script/executable
make sure script is selected not executable
click the buttons for "Su" and "Boot"
click save
Go to google music (play music now) settings and clear any music that is currently saved to your device.
this only applies to music made available offline. If you do not clear it before running the script the music will exist on your internal Sdcard but not be accessible.
now reboot the script will run at boot a prompt will appear asking for superuser rights, click yes and remember this selection (it may say something different than remember this selection whichever option resembles remember needs to be selected.)
YOU'RE DONE!!!
your music should now save to sdcard2/music but the device will still think it is saving to the default sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music
You can check this by going to google music. Selecting "make available offline" and look at the free space. It should shoe the space available on your external sdcard.
So try your hardest to figure out how to root using google, and if your not confident enough to attempt it this fix may not be for you.
if you have tried everything you can and are still stuck message me back, including what device you have, and i will see if i can find a link to the rooting instructions for your particular device.
I assume no responsibility if you damage your device... These steps do work, and if followed will fix your music issues as well as introducing you to a world of additional benefits of being a rooted user.
Hey FuzzyMeep Two! Thanks for the great tutorial.
It worked, with some minor adaptions:
1.) The script should read "mount -o ...". Note that there's no space between '-' and 'o'. You got that right in the first script though
2.) On GalaxyS2 with JellyBean/4.1.1 the correct paths are storage/sdcard1 (external) and storage/sdcard0 (internal).
regards,
Patrick
Thank you

Congrats ,
I don't understand your first question if you're asking if taking backup will be helpful then definitely yes it will be, because in case you mess up while installing a ROM then you can flash the backup and revive your phone.But at the time of unrooting..... don't understand this part.If you mean while unrooting if it will be helpful it has nothing to do with rooting or unrooting but having a backup is always safe and good.
I would not recommend that way, if you want to use your external sd card as the main one that is if you have a sd card whose memory is more than 4 gig and if you want to use it as your default internal sd. For example you have a 32 gig card and if you want your internal sd to be 32 gig then just swap the cards simple transferring .... is not recommended as in future you may experience some issues.
Just work on your spellings!

Hello fellow xda members, I have used many other sites but haven't been on xda since my droid bionic days... I didn't give up on the v10, i contacted tung and here we are!
Any hoo the method was created by the 6th_Hokage for the boost stylo and it works with a little tweaking on our devices.
Follow the prerequisites from his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-xposed-boost-stylo-5-1-1-t3192494
Here they are for quick glance
Required:
Root
Busybox installed on the device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=en
Script Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...tmanager&hl=en
Package needed Xposed Boost Stylo.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347813218
Extract the stylo zip to the root of your internal storage
you should see the installer script file and the xposed zip package
download corresponding xposed zip and installer apk
(v80sdk22arm64) and (3.0 alpha 4)
rename the v80sdk22arm64.zip to the v72 found on the root of the sd from the Xposed Boost Stylo.zip
then run it following the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-xposed-boost-stylo-5-1-1-t3192494 by kakashi aka the6thhokage
5- Open Script Manager and navigate to the installer file (script) and chose script, su then press save .
6- now select the same script and press run and choose the option according to what you want (Yes/No)
7- Wait for the script to finish, now go to Xposed Installer apk that you installed before and select soft reboot (it will turn off just power back on)
8- After restart and you may use Xposed properly
soft reboot and there ya go! Ill add more stuff when I get time
thanks peter muzyka
hey the errors don't hinder it and use kernel auditor to set permissive on boot. I also would like some coffee funds if you feel the need paypal [email protected]
I get this error message when I try to install
it should continue to run, make sure you renamed the xposed zip to the same name as the one in the file and have it placed on the root of your internal storage
I renamed the file and put the folder in the internal storage
As a zip not folder all on the root of the sd. I'll make a all in one after I get with romracer and 6th hokage
got it working. thanks.
@THADDIUS25
Like superdallas said, you must put the files from zip into root of internal storage. your screenshot is showing you put the files under "Xposed+Boost+Stylo V2"
Also did you download v80sdk22arm64 then renamed it? you can find download link from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Need to fix Google Play Store links =)
I just used the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/install-xposed-framework-to-lg-spirit-t3226809
Clearer steps by playadru182 below: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66015228&postcount=48
Also, if anyone is getting a second screen error when making calls after installing xposed. Don't forget to follow @tattedup 's tutorial on second screen fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/xposed-fixes-screen-t3246515
It doesn't continue to run in my case, it just shows it can't create /proc/self/fd/
Like this?

Yeah, it does exactly like that.
Make sure Busybox is installed. As in, run the the Busybox app that you downloaded from the Play Store and install it from there.
Yeah busybox isn't installing properly for some odd reason I believe. It does not run like it usually does.
It doesn't say installed when you tried installing it?
https://imgur.com/JTfuKST
It does say installed....
What fixed it for me was either installing Busybox (I forgot ^^ or using the Terminal Emulator way that I mentioned in my comment to the OP.
When I did that it said no such file or directory
When you entered "su" then "sh /sdcard/installer" in the emulator?
Unlike the OP here that says to put the files in the root folder, put it in the /sdcard folder then try it.
I put it in the folder, but still, no such file or directory.
