Hi,
I have had my Hero for quite a while now and have the Modaco 2.3 rom on it and I am noticing my phone getting a bit laggy again. So what i want to do is transfer all my apps to my SD Card and upgrade to the latest Modaco ROM and also put on the RA-hero-v1.2.3 Recovery as this will be able to partition my SD card for me.
So this is the order I thought of doing everything:
Backup apps etc
Boot into the recovery program and do a wipe
Install the latest Modaco Rom
Install the RA-hero-v1.2.3 Recover
Partition SD CARD
Install all my apps on sd card
Is this correct or do I need to do something else?
you need to backup your apps and settings using MyBackUp Pro, Sprite or Backup For Root Users. The first to are paid apps the third is free... Free version can be got here:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-bg-smsbk-zxq.aspx
After Backing up you need to copy your SD Card to your computer, partitioning your SD Card with RA-hero-v1.2.3 Recovery will to create the EXT3 will wipe the SD Card.
I would in this order:
1. Backup Apps and Data
2. Do a Nandroid Backup
3. Copy SD Card to the computer
4. Install RA-hero-v1.2.3 Recovery
5. Reboot phone
6. Boot back into the recovery program and do a wipe
7. Partition SD Card
8. Set USB mass storage to on in RA-hero-v1.2.3 Recovery
9. Copy computer Backup of SD Card back to the SD Card
10. Install the latest Modaco Rom
11. Update Radio to latest version
12. Reboot Phone
13. Re-install apps as required
hi
sorry to ask such a newbie question but what exactly does a new radio version effect?
thanks in advance

Later versions are usually better than previous versions giving better reception and such although this is sometimes operator dependant. Upgrade and see the difference you can always reinstall a previous version back over the upgrade if it doesn't suit your provider.

Thanks mate, i have a free weekend this week so will have some fun redoing my phone.
Any questions i will see if i can answer them....
Hi developers, I am having an issue with my device's storage. I have a rooted legend running blayo's B.0.8.4 rom and from what I know, this rom has free 80-90 mb of internal storage of application. But it wasn't enough even though I have an external 16GB SD card as not all apps are movable to my SD thus make it a little disappointing. So my question is that are there any solutions on how should expanding my phone's internal storage? Tks!

You can use A2SD (build in)
-All you have to do is BACKUP your sd-card to your PC (all content will be deleted)
-In ROM manager select partion sd card and the size you use is up to you (512mb is more then enough no?)
-Your phone will reboot in clockworkmod automatically partion your sd card and reboots your phone
-Once its back fully booted download an app called terminal emulator (it's free) open that and type in; a2sd --enable
-Then reboot and its done
And if you see it worked you can transfer your sd content back

Thanks for this quick tutorial. I needed this as well. BTW I assume you meant "...to your computer"?
I'm not sure if it works on all ROMs, but you can move an app to SD forcefully by long-pressing it in Titanium Backup, similar to how CM7 allows any Market or sideloaded app to be moved to the external storage.
I've always done this because I've been incredibly lazy to move my SD back and forth, and finally partition it due to some other technological limits that exist in my household.

Since Froyo (2.2) you can move apps to your sd-card BUT it will only work for apps that support that and it can never completly move the app to your sd card because a little bit of data stays on your internal phone memory
Now if you use the method I explained before (work only on Blayo's latest rom's, for other roms there are other tutorials) It will move ALL the aplications on your phone to the sd-card (even the system apps) so the advantage of that is that there is waayy more space on your phone internal storage and you can install a lot more apps since you are using your sd-card to store the apps
Hope that clarify's a few things for you
Ok TKS! I am gonna try it out!! So basically this is what I type in the terminal emulator right?
a2sd --enable

and yes, but first you have to backup content and use rom manager to create partition like I said in the mini tutorial

Hey tks man! I did it!!! But I have a couple of problems. When I wanted to restore my backup app via titanium backup, it says that I hv to clear some space for my device. And another thing is that I am glad that most of my apps are installed directly to my SD card but not all. Some apps are unable to. It was stored in the phone instead. But all in all, ur solution was good enough for me. I appreciate it. The problems don't really matter.Thank you very much!!

So this method will not work with CyanogenMod? Is tutorial for this ROM more complex?
BTW I want to change my ROM to CyanogenMod (i currently have Gingerbread 2.3.3) , so do I first partition my micro SD card and then flash CM or vice versa?

No that method will not work
For CM you will need to
- install the rom and boot the rom until its fully loaded
- download rom manager and partion your sd-card (do not forgot to backup sdcard to pc first!!)
- once you have partitioned your sd-card install this script
- then download "A2SDGUI" and make sure that apps on sd is activated
That's it

Ok now I am having a couple of issues. I recently downloaded a couple of apps and I found out that they were not stored on the SD card anymore unless I move them manually. And certain apps that cannot be moved to SD, for eg. Air penguin, they will be stored on the phone instead. It's like everything is back to original.... may I know what's the problem here? Tks for ur help once again.

i can suggest you redo your rom and apps and try data2ext but follow blay0's strict rule on the restart thingy in his rom thread..
1.1-(to have)
download blay0s custom CWM from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
(download the customized CWM)
rename this file to update.zip and place this in the root of your sd card.
1.2-
prepare the Blay0 rom and patch leave it in your pc for now
2-(titanium bk)
use titanium backup and backup all the apps that you want. (backup the green ones which also include call logs and sms and other stuff)
3-(blay0's custom CWM)
boot up to recovery and use the update.zip to load the custom cwm
-do a backup (nandroid backup)... note on the date and time you made this backup.
-than go mounts and storage and mount usb storage...
-copy everything from your phone sd card to your pc...
3.1(repartition)
if 512MB partition is not enough, you can repartition this to 1GB (i tried 2 GB not stable). head to advance menu and partition SD card to. 1024Mb first partition second 0 third 0 and thats it... 1GB ext partition and the rest is your card FAT data. else, just skip step 4 but copy the B rom and patch to your card via usb.
4 (sd card preparation and the B rom in your card)
if you partition, go back to mounts and storage and mount usb partiton and copy all the stuff you backup just now in your pc (your whole sd card) and back to your phone sdcard again... this time copy the B rom also to your card if its not there yet.
5. (wipe and reflash B rom)
now since we have all your backup done we make a clean flash of the B rom.
go do a wipe and also wipe the cache partition and flash the B rom and patch. than reboot
6. (your new B rom)
after phone boot up. re enter your google login and other stuff like date time format... do the setup wizard.
and also let your phone sync with your account. things should look like new..
7. (titanium bk and terminal emulator)
visit market and download titanium bk and terminal emulator (u can skip this if you can use adb shell).
8. (terminal emulator)
now, use your terminal emulator and enter su if its not # (root user).
than type data2ext --enable, reboot the phone.
9. (check your setting)
after the phone reboot, you can go to setting and go see if your internal memory has expanded to your sd card or not... if its still some 100 + MB you are doing it wrong. if its 1GB than you got this rite.
10. (titanium bk)
now after the space have been made for your apps. use titanium bk to restore your data. if its a game with save. use it to restore app and data. if the app does not have any real setting or the data you just dont care. you better just restore the app and ignore the data. restore your apps first, than widgets, launcher will be last if you want to restore it with data.
note: i've been using this setting for a 6 month period without problem but because Blay0 stated that it might one day data lost your phone. so i suggest you reboot to cwm and do backup your rom, mount usb from cwm and update your backup folder in your pc with the cloworkmod folder, your DCIM folder, download, bluetooth... you get the point on what to backup.
nnote on CWM backup.... in the CWM folder in your sdcard... remember this, all CWM backup are name over a time stamp. so delete the ones you dont want.
nnnote try avoid OC to an unstable clock speed... a 1 time or 2 times reboot in a few days will risk your sd partition gone because of data2ext really don't like random reboot and this will make you in a mess. as from my experience... if you reboot your phone and it say sdcard problem... your in deep deep sh*t. as the partition got problem at the fat partition most of the time. if this happen, you need to format your card. use a recovery tool to dig your SD card for pictures and files. format your card.... load CWM to partition it again... put things back and do recovery and restore.
good luck

Hi! Thanks for ur generous reply! I didn't see this reply till today so I am very sry. I am gonna try this out soon but I've got a question. I want to actually overclock the phone as well so basically if I want to overclock with this rom, how do u think I should go about doing this and what should I do to prevent random reboots? Thanks for ur help once again. I really appreciate it!
I am using Safestrap to install the CM10.1 nightly. I had to update from 2.11 to 3.11 to get it to work with the latest nightly. The Rom is working, but I'm confused about why I have so many partitions. I would like to consolidate as much as possible so I don't get confused about where things are. When running Disk Usage app, I have
1) App Storage 280/1007 free,
2) Storage Card 1280/8196 free
3)/storage/sdcard0 1280/8196 free
4)/storage/sdcard1 6078/15189 free (i think this one is my actual sdcard, it has my music on it)
2 and 3 look like they are the same thing. But they also have Titanium Backup information in it. So when I am backing up to sdcard, which SDcard am I backing up to? The actual sdcard, or the one created by Safestrap? Both have TB information in it, and a Camera folder. I'd like to be able to set it so that everything goes to the actual SDcard instead of the one created by Safestrap.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

1) Is app storage shared between all of your ROMs (this can't be changed)
2) Is your internal storage (aka leftover space from the internal SD card from the above partition)
3) Internal SD card, same as above
4) External SD card, this is where your Titanium Backups are stored by default
Backup would 99% of the time go to external storage, if not then 2/3 aka internal storage. 1 isn't accessible to the user (normally)
i accidentily sytem wiped my vs985 and lost the cm11 .zip file and now i have no OS

Haha ummm, download a ROM to an SD card (buy a cheap small one if you don't have one, to save yourself in situations like this), put it in, install that beast.

What carrier you have doesn't matter... all versions of the G3 has an sdcard slot, which you can use if you have an external sdcard. It supports up to 128GB.
OP, just download a new ROM file on a computer and put it on a microsd. TWRP can install it from that.
SDCARD
when did verizon get a external sdcard?i havent seen any external sdcard vs985
edit:nevermind you are right
hey guys, I did the same as the OP. I tried loading an OS onto an SD card and I cant it to mount in TWRP. what am I doing wrong??
edit- got it working again, thank you guys!!
Follow up:
If you ever do this, listen to the posts above...
After i flashed it from the ext sd, all my syst files are on my sd card... Its only 8gb and im running low on space... Should i install the zip onto my int and gp to twrp, wipe the ext then flash from the int?

After you've flashed the zip, you don't need to keep that zip on your phone at all anymore. The OS is installed and you're all good. I mean, you should keep it on an external sd, in case something like this happens again - but you don't have to. If you're low on space, delete the original zip, but make a backup in TWRP - that is more handy to have anyway.

Is this the same with any downloads such as roms , addons, modems, hotspot provisions and the like, once they are in TWRP Recovery can I delete them from my phone /sd/ downloads and they remain in TWRP?
They aren't in TWRP recovery, they are installed into your phone, replacing stuff that was already there. The zip archives are just downloaded so TWRP can be used to install (flash) them. Those archives don't run in your phone. You can delete them and re-download them later if you ever need to flash them again (not likely).
Format your SD cards as fat32 - you'll need a tool to do so (just Google it, or look on this forum in the TWRP thread). Alternatively, you can use the "push" command from a computer through ADB to send a file directly to your phone's internal memory. You can Google that up as well. Actually, I did that one for you...

Hi Guys. Many of us are facing low internal memory problem on Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015 Models). After installing few apps and games the internal memory becomes almost full. Ever wished that if we can move apps data files and games obb files to Sd card. Well now we can do it by simply installing xposed framework and few xposed apps.
In this tutorial I am going to tell you how to move apps data file, obb files etc to sd card. Follow the instruction given below.
Requirements:
1) Rooted J5 phone.
2) TWRP recovery installed
3) Xposed framework installed.
Procedure:
1) If you did not meet above given requirement than go to the link given below and download TWRP, Supersu, Xposed. Flash TWRP via Odin and root using Supersu zip and install Xposed.
2) Now open xposed and go to download and download two xposed apps (i) Obb On Sd (ii) XInternalSD.
3) After installing these two apps go to modules section an activate these modules and reboot your device.
4) Once you device is rebooted open obb on sd app and enable (i) Data on SD and (ii) Detect SD on Android 5/6.
5) Now open XInternalSD app and enable (i) Custom path to internal SD Card (ii) Full access to external SD card. In path to internal SD card there should be /storage/extSdCard/. If it is not than make it. Now you can enable it for all apps or enable it for particular apps using enable for apps option.
6) That’s it now you can move your games obb files to SD card/Android/obb and data files of apps to sd card/Android/data. Your games and apps will read those files from sd card.
7) Enjoy.

1. Download the TWRP recovery from the link below.
Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) ( Thanks @Nick Verse for TWRP recovery)

3. Xposed from the link below.

Note: Flashing TWRP and Supersu will void your warranty. So think before you flash. After flashing TWRP do a nandroid backup first before flashing anything (even supersu file) so that if anything goes wrong you can restore back.
And most important do everything on your own risk. I will not be responsible to any damage made to your device. But if you follow the process carefully you will not face any problem.
Hope this tutorial will help you all.

Hi Guys. Many of us are facing low internal memory problem on Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015 Models). After installing few apps and games the internal memory becomes almost full. Ever wished that if we can move apps data files and games obb files to Sd card. Well now we can do it by simply installing xposed framework and few xposed apps.
In this tutorial I am going to tell you how to move apps data file, obb files etc to sd card. Follow the instruction given below.
Requirements:
1) Rooted J5 phone.
2) TWRP recovery installed
3) Xposed framework installed.
Procedure:
1) If you did not meet above given requirement than go to the link given below and download TWRP, Supersu, Xposed. Flash TWRP via Odin and root using Supersu zip and install Xposed.
2) Now open xposed and go to download and download two xposed apps (i) Obb On Sd (ii) XInternalSD.
3) After installing these two apps go to modules section an activate these modules and reboot your device.
4) Once you device is rebooted open obb on sd app and enable (i) Data on SD and (ii) Detect SD on Android 5/6.
5) Now open XInternalSD app and enable (i) Custom path to internal SD Card (ii) Full access to external SD card. In path to internal SD card there should be /storage/extSdCard/. If it is not than make it. Now you can enable it for all apps or enable it for particular apps using enable for apps option.
6) That’s it now you can move your games obb files to SD card/Android/obb and data files of apps to sd card/Android/data. Your games and apps will read those files from sd card.
7) Enjoy.
Downloads
1. Download the TWRP recovery from the link below.
Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) ( Thanks @Nick Verse for TWRP recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3338869
Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) (Thanks @ganesh varma for TWRP recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j500f-t3416960
2. Download Supersu zip from the link below

3. Xposed from the link below.

Note: Flashing TWRP and Supersu will void your warranty. So think before you flash. After flashing TWRP do a nandroid backup first before flashing anything (even supersu file) so that if anything goes wrong you can restore back.
And most important do everything on your own risk. I will not be responsible to any damage made to your device. But if you follow the process carefully you will not face any problem.
Hope this tutorial will help you all.

You have to manually move obb file and data files from internal memory/Android/obb and internal memory/Android/Data to SD card/Android/obb and sd card/Android/data.
So I can select ALL data files and move them;
Ps I :have only 4 or 5 obb files and many too ment data files
I can move them all??

Yes select and move data files and obb files of apps that you want to move from internal memory to sd card in respective folders. Move one app at a time and check if it works than move another and so on.
it seems that i do something wrong!!!!!!!!!!!
from storage-->emulated-->0-->Android --> data--> (this is my internal storage)
i move to storage-->sdcard1-->Android-->data. ( this is my sd card)
But after i start a programe (lets say facebook) it works but when i check again the storage-->emulated-->0-->Android --> data-->
i find the com.facebook.orca .
the same think is NOT happening to the storage-->emulated-->0-->Anroid-->obb-- (thanks God)
i did move data and obb only from this folder storage-->emulated-->0-->Anroid-->
i should move and others?
is this trick working ?? somebody report here. i need to do the same on my j500f

Try to use root explorer to move files. And yes all application might not work but big games and some apps files will work . And why do you want to move apps with small size, they do not consume lot of memory so its better to keep them on internal memory. If you have any apps with larger size than try to move them. Hope it will help. Do let me know if you need more help.
Is it necessary To keep these Tow modules after doing this?
Low internal memory problem of J5 can be solved effectively with Partition. External sd card can be partitioned and a part of the sd card can be converted into internal storage. There are many apps for doing this.

i have tried this using mini partition tool, i formatted my sdcard partion to ext 2 but when i inserted the card to the device it showed as corrupted sdcard. also link2sd didnt work. i tried reformatting the sdcard to ext4 but the same problem. it is most likely because of MM.
if you have a working way to get this done on MM j500f, kindly share with us. i am in desperate need of this, and want to download big games.

Sorry i can't give you a step by step guide because i haven't tried it myself on MM. I have only read about it. But you can try two things - Firstly try the app 'Apps2sd' and secondly if the app does not work then you can try adb command line method which has helped many people. Adb method has a higher chance of success. If these two methods also don't work then i think it's impossible to do it now.
its not working on modern combat 5
