So I bought my HTC Desire 310 3 weeks ago,it's one of the best budget phones out there etc.,but I found out that the 4GB are actually just 2GB,the other 2 is for OS.
My question is how can I root it to play games that are over 2GB from the SD card as the device has internal memory viewed as SD card and the SD card as external storage which apprently is untrusted for games.
The phone Specs are:
MTk 6582M
CPU:Quad Core Cortex-A7 1.3Ghz
RAM:1GB
GPU:Mali 400-MP2
I just want to make games run from SD card,nothing else,I don't want any OS alteration and fancy stuff.
Thank you in advance.

Sooo,no one?
There is currently nothing you can really do except rooting the desire 310 with different 1clickroot-programs.
i can just warn you to NOT try to flash a custom recovery or anything else yet to reach your goal. you will just end up with bootloops, being unable to reach bootloader or recovery anymore. just don't do it. there might be a chance that the community for this device grows up and people may be going into in-depth solutions, but for now it's just a random uncommon phone that nobody really cares about. sorry.

Oh ok,so bassically if I root my phone I also need to go further than that with flashing and other stuff,rooting alone won't help me reach my goal.That's kinda sad,since the phone is pretty powerfull for it's price and can run games without a sweat.
Thanks for your reply.

u cant install apps in the external sd card but
u can put data in the external sd card using "Foldermount"
This will be the best software u will use for the purpose u just need to know how to use it

That is what I actually want to do,put data files on the SD card and run a game from the SD card while keeping the 50MB aplication in the phone.

From what i'v heard the phone has to be rooted first, which hasn't been done yet.
I may be wrong though.
Surely not much of an issue with the larger space for apps anyway. Needs root, but once that's there, I'm sure A2SD will follow.

you can download apps from the web put them on your sd card and install them to your phone (they stay on sd card) with out root. go to the market download "appsinstaller"
go to Settings>Applications> Check Unknown sources and your ready to go.
you just put .apk files on your sd card and open the app. thats it
Yes you can install .apk files from SD and yes the .apk files stay on your SD card to install them another time,
but the apps are not running from SD card, nor are they installed on your SD card, they install onto your fone, and take up fone memory.
UNLESS you get root and run an Apps 2 SD type application.

This question isalso very important for me before Buying such an expensive phone!
Any good news or still impossible? Because i read everywhere then with a rooted Hero it is still not possible to install on SD cards.
Never impossible!! Its android not apple... > However, I reckon Aps 2 SD will be done on the hero at some point - rooting is already there.
Point of info - The Hero has around 150MB of space left for apps after a factory reset. The Magic has 295MB with the standard ROM - HUGE difference isn't it and I was gobsmacked, so maybe apps2SD is more needed than I thought on Hero....
That said, the hero ROM has a lot of stuff in the ROM that has to be added on Magic - twitter apps and widgets, Weather apps and widgets, sense UI, Loads of other pretty but big widgets built in. I may start to look at anything I can remove using Root Explorer - I never use the built in You Tube App, Footprints looks like it can go (10mb big I think..) and a few others...
Daisy xxx
Well Hero Has been Rooted Already and i mean its just a matter of time until developers gets started on their work.
Apps2sd has been done for both the G1 and the HTC magic and soon the Hero as it is 100% Possible.
btw. just like Dayzee said the phone already has a good amount of space for apps. or at least i dont see the need for it.
Sorry, i am a noob in Android OS. Just wondering where does the application install to? If it installs to the SD card, what would happen if i change the SD card to a new one? Anyway to back up?
thanks
All apps install to the phone so you're OK there, but some apps have caches or maps or folders on the SD so you do need to have a card present really.
You can install apps from apk packages stored on the SD (Like installer packages) but the app unpacks to the fone memory.
Daisy
thanks.
Does it mean the phone will run out of storage faster if i keep installing applications? Compare to Windows mobile, i can choose to install to memory card instead of using phone memory/storage. Is there anyway i can do this?
LOL Well, I can't say for sure on hero, but on the Magic which is VERY similar there's about 290 megs available for apps on the phone after a full wipe - I have around 50 apps on mine ranging from a few KB to 15mb for co pilot and I've used 80mb of space leaving another 200+ or so.... - The apps for the most part are small - media etc is stored on SD so you likely won't have much of a problem.
Also since stuff is accessible on the fly from the market, there are some things you can get and install in mins on your fone when you need em, then uninstall afterwards... Knowing you can get them at any time from the market.
cheers for the quick reply. Much appreciated.
SOO the hero can not install apps to SD card
thats a bad news
what if we want to store a gameboy advance game or a sega mega drive or any other game in the hero ?
one gameboy advance game = 16mb
one sega mega drive game = 2,5,7mb
other games = 1 to 15mb
that mean the phone will run out of storage
what about apps2sd that can be downloaded from this forum?
i don't think apps2sd works without the phone being rooted first.
i think i saw a rooting thread in the hero android development forum....

I would've thought that in most cases, the emulator would need to exist on the phone itself, but the ROMs (i.e. games) could be loaded in from sd card.

Think this is correct. I've not tried emulators yet but I do have DOOM and the game app is installed to the built in phone storage but the main bulk (.wads and sound files) are all on the sd card so in theory 280ish mb should do u fine as long as ur using a micro sd card

I thought Hero already come with the option where to install the apps...
Now I'm not sure whether I want to move to Hero or stay using Magic with "perfected" SPL (this SPL gives me headache)
yes, you would have to root any device apart from the dev phones maybe....
HTC will not sell a device that is already rooted, as they want people to use it how they designed it, and not allow people who don't knwo what they're doing to bugger it up accidentally.
no doubt it'll get fully rooted soon.
hi people!! im impressed one more time with the new rom 2.1.9!! but i have a question related to one of its new features which i dont understand very well... i hope some one has a little time to explain it with details to help me and other people who may have these same questions...
first of all whats partition and swap? i suppose partition is to take a part of ur sd card for aps and all this stuff, but swap?
second... i dont have any partition and i always move lots of aps to sd card without problem,then,why should i do a parition? is there any advantage in doing it?? in that case, is there a guide around here to do it in an easy way?
and finally.. swap! what is it for? is there advantages in doing it? in that case what are them and how could i do it in an easy way?
i hope some one could have a moment to explain it a little bit but please as clear as possible,taking into account im a full noob in this topic... and if anyone have more questions related to this topic post here if u want...
i would just like fully understanding all the functions, possibilities and goods of my x10 mini and this incredible rom...
thanks everybody who wants to help!!!
About swap and partition, actually I've tried it both, but it just makes my device slower (even on class 10 SD card)... Maybe, the explanation of this issue is because our phone already use up speed reading files and programs installed on SD card, so swap just makes it any harder...
I tried partitioning my sd card with swap file, using swapper, swapper2, but the best result is when I don''t partition my sd card at all..
Then, the next question perhaps : then why are there swap availability ? That I can't answer...

thx for ur answer!! at least u can talk from experience... the fact is that i feel my phone runs amazingly without these swap and partition things... but as u say, taking into account they are available i wanted to know if it would be even better for my phone to try them.
however watching ur results i will stay without swap and partitions, because i have all i need in my phone and still free space
thank u buddy!

Hipstreet Titan 2 Tablet, External 2 Internal Issues.
I have a Hipstreet Titan 2 tablet, it's model 7DTB39, and is 8GB (on KitKat). I have a 32 GB SD card that I need to apply as internal memory. It is rooted. Though this model has 8GB, most of it is withheld for system functions, I get to use just under 3GB all said and done--not enough to get most things done. I installed the External 2 Internal app, and tried two different ways that I saw suggested online. Both ways did not work for this tablet. It shows the same amount of severely limited internal storage space before and after the procedure; and as well even though most of the card is free, I cannot download some apps. Can someone steer me in the right direction to resolve this please? I know how to use the app, but do not know what to enter into it to make it work correctly.
I was hoping to simply find the information I needed present, but did not find it. I am not sure of how your forum works, I am new here. Forgive me if I took the wrong approach. I am really stuck.
I apologize, I wanted to erase the post I made, but realized too late to do so.
I have a hipstreet phoenix tablet running jb 4.2.2 and would like to flash ustom rom and or kernal. im havig issues with low space due to apps only install on internal 1gb sytem memory and not the 16gb internal sdcard or my external sd. i have rooted and installed apps2sd but it doesnt move the whole file only part of it. also bluetooth diconects at screen shutoff wich i hear is a problom with 4.2.2. i would like to be able to have a custom kernal to help manage ram better and hopefully find a way to have apps nativly ran from internal 16gb and not the 1gb system memory. any help on this wold be great. i dont want to brick my tablet

I've been trying to figure out just how to root this thing. I picked one up on sale, and while limited, it seems alright for the price. That 1GB app install storage partition is super annoying though. I'm willing ti live with it but only if I can root the thing... What method did you use to root it???
I used Kingo root, you have to install the SDK drivers and roots it. I've installed xposed moduals they work fine as well. Where I'm stuck is how to install a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Any help on this from someone would be appreciated. Not much info for this tablet. On a side note is there any cm ROMs for this tab.
For what it's worth, I was eventually able to root the thing without having to locate a compatible ROM by using a free windows application called MoboGenie .. once the program is installed and loaded on your Windows PC, connect the device via USB, and give it about 5-10 minutes to find and install the driver it needs (MoboGenie did this all automatically, just took a little time). Once it does, it should start populating the screen with details about the connected device. In the Toolbox section (down the left side), there is a "Root" button. Click it and then confirm and it pushes SU onto the device automatically... Takes about 2 minutes. Then you disconnect the device and reboot it... After that, it's persistently rooted! You can even unroot by following the same steps in MoboGenie (if you click on "Root" again and confirm, it simply removes the root from the device - too easy!)
I tried it (just for fun) with a Samsung Note 3, but MoboGenie could not root that device, so clearly its powers are limited; however it works perfectly with the Hipstreet Phoenix, so I'm happy

Oh and to help conserve precious app data space, I found that, after rooting, the Lucky Patcher app does a seamless job of moving app data "to sd card" which basically results in moving the data to the larger partition. You can do this as a batch action in Lucky Patcher, or one by one.
One note though - I foolishly bought a 32GB microSD card to leave in the tablet full time, but the tablet unmounts the damn thing pretty much any time it's put on standby, and you have to deliberately tell it to mount the card every time you want to use it. This means it's hopeless for putting app data onto a microSD card on these tablets... which sucks, but oh well.
Next time, I'm buying a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet... they're by far the best tablets (and phones) on the market, and though they're not cheap, you definitely get what you pay for!

That's why I ended up using Mobogenie -- couldn't find a ROM that worked with it.
On a side note, the first Phoenix tablet I had, after rooting with Mobogenie, I used Android Tuner and applied the Partition Trim function.. it seemed to work until I rebooted the device and it went into an infinite boot loop. Seems the device is REALLY easy to corrupt, and the trim effectively bricked it. I contacted Hipstreet and got them to replace it under warrantee (cost me nothing, too). Just if you DO go that route, don't mention what you did, just tell them it bricked itself.

Ok
1st off I just bought my 1st tablet and it was this one. I instantly fell in love with it thinking I had found some great deal. Then after having it for about a week I started getting the insufficient storage message. I was about to return it when I found this thread. I used mobogenie to root it. THIS WAS SO EASY especially since I'm a noob. I installed lucky patcher from google play store but it didnt give me the option to move to sd card. So I used Link2SD. Which works fine on all the apps I have downloaded but not the apps native to the OS.
So my questions are
How do I get rid of the apps native to the OS? And/or move them to the external SD which the device calls NAND flash.
Even with moving the apps to SD which is the partitioned storage space(NAND Flash) I can only download apps to the limited internal storage before I can then move them using LinkSD. So say I want to download hearthstone which is 707 mb, and too large for the internal storage space. Is there a way to download it to the NAND Falsh section directly?
I also bought a external 64GB sd card cause one of my friends said that would fix the problem. How do I download a large game directly to that with this Tablet?
Am I asking too much of this tablet? Should I just keep it for a bit to get used to tablets then upgrade to a more expensive monster in a few months? Im having so much fun so far messing with it I kind of just it to be my Frankenstein and play with it till it breaks......errr I mean Bricks.
Please help me get my nerd on,
Im officially a enthusiast

I use TitaniumBackup with my rooted device. It makes freezing, detaching from market (so they won't update themelves), and removing system apps really easy.

I have found no ways to re-allocate the app space partition and yeah, large apps are never going to install, but smaller apps seem to work as long as we move to SD immediately after any installs or updates.

You cannot. I did the same thing, but I find you have to MANUALLY mount the SD card every time you want to access it - as soon as you put it to sleep, it unmounts the damn external card. This makes it USELESS for app installs... just data like videos, music, etc... even then, it's a pain.

You're lucky then I contacted support through that lame-ass support app that only sometimes connects to their system, and was told point-blank that there is no way to re-allocate the install space (the 1gb area) to make more basic room.
In the end, I disabled all automatic Play updating for all apps (I check and apply them manually instead, as it eats precious install space.) I use LuckyPatcher for moving all app to SD one installed, and TitaniumBackup to remove unnecessary pre-installed stuff. Bummer is, no big games, ever..
Hello all.
I am having the same issues.
I have a 16GB Phoenix Hipstreet, stuck in a boot loop.
I can't load TWRP or anything else, as I am a novice user..
However, that program MOBOGENIE sounds like what I need, however after searching everywhere, I can't find a trust worthy looking source to download, as many have been de-listed due to not being supported or something anymore.
This sounds like it would fix my problems in a heart beat.
Does any one have access to an installer?
I've tried all I can think of.
Thanks in advance.
