Hi friends!!
I switch from iPhone to a new Galaxy SIII last week and i'm happy because i'm back to do trip&trick on my smartphone to personalize it !!!! :laugh:
Now after 1 week in research and test i sucessfully:
- root my SIII
- partition, install and use an external SD as system storage for application using link2SD
but i understand now that link2SD not move private data that still use internal SD.
Now i would like balance SD usage and move al main app and games to external SD in order to upgrade and use SIII with any problem.
Now i ask you some suggestion and help me what i can do:
1. manualy, via terminal, move only private data to extSD and link it, but this will work? which tool you suggest me?
2. help me to discovery an application that do this for me
3. suggest me something that i don't know that can help me to use extSD as application storage
4. suggest me an alternative FW to use, now i use samsung origianl FW 4.1.1 but i'm not know what mean use a new FW, benefit,etc
I'm from italy, so please sorry for my english and use a easy english so i can understand
last point, can you link me some material to underswtand better custom firmware, i'm looking from google but many link and many pages, i don't know how to filter it.
Thanks again

[Q] Problems after Jelly Bean!!

Hi everyone this is my first post here so be kind.
I updates to Jelly Bean a while ago and am experiencing some niggles, not sure if they are all JB related or not so I thought I'd ask the experts.
1. No Flash - I understand Flash isn't supported after 4.0.4. If this is the case I may just reflash back to it or is there another way? I have already installed flash from third party but it still doesn't work.
2. Before JB I could put any video file type and it would work without converting etc But not anymore on some work, is this because of JB?
3. I tried to install the Dark Knight game the other day from the official game site (they had an offer, game was 99p). I couldnt even install the .apk It said there wasn't enough room to download the file (just the .apk), even though I had 8gig free on SD and 30gig on external SD. Whats the problem there?
4, Yesterday Handcent messneger wouldn't update, it said there wasn't enough room but there is over 8gig free o the SD, I dont understand, why??
5. is there a way to install the game data files to external SD, the 1gig - 2gig files?
My phone is rooted and I have the official JB installed too, Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
PS. I used to love my SGS3 but its pissing me off now. Ive just manually added up all the MB's my apps are taking up. I totted it up to 389MB, even though task manager says 869MB/11.35GB. And now I cant install anything from google play, I just get the message 'insufficient space'. How can this be?? (I have checked there is nothing in any of the other files on the internal SD)
Full wipe id say

[Solved] s2 4.1.2 LS8 Gallery : Not enough space. Delete some

Sorry to start a new thread but im not able to find a single topic that relates to the numerous issues im facing.
1. Screenshots : Cant caoture sceenshots, storage may be in use ( guess its the media scanner, anything that i can do ? )
2. if i delete any file with Astro/ES explorer in /sdcard0/DCIM folder : it says deleted, however the files remain there. However, mounting as R/W in root explorer i am able to. Can anyone tell me why my /sdcard0 has suddenly become read only ? it used to be fine in GB/ICS.? is there anyway i can change permissions of this folder to R/W permenantly.
3. i dont want to discuss on battery and overheating as i am following other threads. so leave this.
4. unable to save any songs on /sdcard0/music : I/O error, no space.
5. When i run disc utility like diskusage it shows i have 8.7 GB free..When i goto Settings>Storage it shows total space : 11.5 GB, Free space 8.7 GB and Application 9.2 GB. How is that possible? what should i do ?
6. Gallery : tells me to free up space by deleting something. I have no pcitures no videos in sdcard. don't understand.
7. Camera : not taking pictures. like above, it says no space.
i would have posted screenshots, but like i said it wont take.
Background :
Running official stock 4.1.2 Spain LS8
Flashed earlier viz. odin with philz.( before flashing had done complete wip before and after, had followed all forum advice) later,
Changed to siyah kernel 6.0b . Happy until i saw the issues above.
if you can help me with even 1 question, it will help me a lot

Storage is not an issue.
device memory 760 mb free/1.97gb
Internal/usbstorage : 9.17gb free/ 11.5gb
SD card 35.21 gb free/59.36 gb
tried accessing gallery after removing sdcard - no use
tried deleting viz. ES explorer, no use... clicked on internal storage properties to find out that it is only read only (and permissions change is not allowed)
While trying to make it RW, came across this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35801231
it made internal storage RW but after 10 mins it again reverted to read only.
tried to fix permission through CWM but no use.
i guess i need to make it RW permenantly.. but just dont know how.
Until then my gallery wont open, screenshots wont work.
yes also, sometimes accidently when "process.media.android" is not active, im able to access gallery.
howver, when media is working, and i do "force stop", gallery still does not respond.
Any help wouldbe appreciated.

Thanks, here is what is did.
Backedup viz. titanium and nandroid, stored it on my computer.
Wiped data
Wiper cache
Wiped davlik
Wiped battery stats
Formatted internal storage
Formateed external storage
Did the above 2 times.
Flashed JB viz. odin
got stuck on Samsung logo, went to recovery and
again wiped data and cache
Rebooted and logged in.
First thing i see ...
Gallery app still says Not enough Space. delete unwanted item blah blah
Screenshot: Couldnt save screenshots. Storage may be in use.
Pl tell if i did somethng wrong, or maybe the ROM i downloaded is buggy.
Can someone give me a link, which they have used ..i will do it again.
By the way when i goto storage it shows the following :
device memory : 1.77GB/1.97GB available
USB storage : 11.4 GB/11.5 GB available ..(some miscellanous files : 70 MB)
SD card : 59.36/59.36gb available
thanks a lot.
should i flash 4.0.3/4.0.4 to confirm if SDCARD has errors or no need?
because i never had any issues in GB and evenduring migration from GB to ICS.
First time.
Re: [Q] S2 official spain ls8 issues
try jb leak first, see if these issues persists.
In google type "sammobile jelly bean test firmware" and hit search.
it's an LSJ package (phone, modem and csc -FLASH those 3 files ONLY-).

The file contains the following : as per sammobile

Did you mean PDA,MODEM AND CSC or only MODEM AND CSC...

On some phones format does not format Your storage, bug i think, and maybe you use Lucky patcher and you have huge files there.

is there anyway to format, so that nothing is left behind?
any command in terminal or any link you can give which can ensure that format is complete.

why don't you try before formatting?
You can format your sd(s) cards in config > storage

android 4.3 & SD card

Hi,
Im really confused about new android, my device is galaxy note II n7100.
I've been using original stock rom JB 4.1.2, but yesterday I tried to flash cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly (android 4.3) for my device.
But it seems to me there is no option to change default download folder for ANY browser...
In stock rom of samsung 4.1.2, there was option for it in default browser settings -> advanced -> SDcard / internal storage
I have 32GB Sdcard and it would be really annoying for me to move every downloaded file to SDcard manually.
I have root, so how it can be done?
Is this caused by that i have custom ROM and not stock? Or is touchwiz only one which allow you to do this?
In Dolphin browser I can set download path, but it wont allow me to choose SDcard, only internal storage.
Thanks for any reply,
Have you tried asking in the Note II forum? You'll probably get better help there.
Sent from my Evita
Thanks for reply, but Im afraid this is problem of android 4.3 (maybe 4.2.2 too)
Thats why im asking here, ive seen stock xperia T with stock rom and in browser settings there wasnt any option to change downloads folder.
I would like to know if they removed this option or not...ive tried modify some system files (i have root) and tried many apps, but i still can't figure out how to do this.
The configuration is likely different for each device as not all devices even have secondary/removable memory. I honestly think you're better off asking in the specific forum for your device.

If you want to avail this feature to move apps data to sd card you need to root the phone(Use kingo app for rooting) and install gl2sd app from playstore.
This app will copy the huge data of bigger games and few apps to sd card. That way you will be able to free up lots of space. You can then install many heavy data games on your phone and enjoy.
But yes you have to root the phone first. If you're afraid of warranty, then don't worry you can make the status back to official and get the warranty back. There a tool called triangle away to do that. So, if you want to have this feature then root. Go ahead and try if needed and enjoy. Cheers ! ! !:good:
Let me know if any issues.

Out of Space : Unable to install some apps
Hi everyone!
Pardon me, I'm just new here, I signed up bcoz I'm losing hope now.
I'm having issue installing "some" apps on my phone. (some are installing)
Search and tried TS steps found online to no success.
TS steps done:
Restarted the phone
Clear Cache on the recovery mode
Clear cache on each application through setting>application manager
Clear cache using android assistant
Tried the MMI code *#9900# and deleted dumpstate/logcat
Deleted the "mysterious large file" .thumbdata
Checked and deleted some odex files
Checked and deleted files under android/data
Installed Lucky patcher (no troubleshooting option)
Unable to install logcat
Unable to search appslib or app-lib
Phone information:
Galaxy grand quattro
Not rooted, stock ROM

SD card 1.5GB/ 32GB
Running process (under applct'n manager): 662MB used, 219MB free

I can just reset my phone to factory default but that's just avoiding the problem, I would like to resolve the root cause of the problem. (without rooting the phone)
I believe that we can resolved this issue.
Thank you in advance.

First of all make your phone rooted (then only you can delete modify files) use odin to flah CWM recovery and install superSU with CWM, some apk need root access ( like lucky patcher, root explorer) then use root explorer and go to sdcard/andriod /data and delete only the files which are not working and then try to install them it will work.
Here is the link to rooting :
