Uhappy UP620 HELP! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok everyone, Damsel in distress here.
I've had an iPhone 4 (don't hate me) for the past 3 years now, just the other day I decided to upgrade and purchased a Uhappy UP620.
Great phone, vast improvement to what I previously had. There's just a slight problem that I can't seem to find a root guide for this phone.
I'm having problems trying to move apps from internal storage to my SD card and I've tried to download the APP2SD and also reformat the SD card, but no luck. Read somewhere deep in the dwellings of the internet that rooting the phone might work and seeing though its my last option that I haven't tried, I'm willing to give it a go.
Android 4.4.2 operating system with 1.7 Ghz MTK6592 Octa-core processor and 1 GB RAM+8GB ROM
tl;dr rooting guide for Uhappy UP620??
Cheers.

[Q] Link2SD and low memory

Hello
I currently have a Vodafone Smart 2 with a CM7 based ROM. I made 2 partitions on my class 4 16GB microSD card (Ext2 with 1GB, the rest is FAT32) and installed Link2SD. After doing this, I started installing the applications I wanted and linking them all (auto link after install) but the internal memory becomes very low after some days my phone starts giving me warnings of low memory, specially when the apps are updating. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I don't even have many apps installed. I've done some research and have found many people with similar problems but I haven't seen any good solution, so I was hoping you could help me out.
This ROM doesn't have any useless software included, it is very clean, so uninstalling useless/factory based software isn't the solution.
Any tips are welcome.
Thank you

[Q] Custom ROM for Versus Touchtab 10.1" Tablet and Problems reading SD card

Tablet: VERSUS TOUCHTAB 10.1" DUAL CORE 16GB TABLET ANDROID 4.1 BLUETOOTH
I bought this tablet about a year ago, but I have not really used it because I have an iPad but recently I thought of using it and it was running slow. It was also complaining about memory. I bought a new microSD card but it is not allowing me to save apps to it. I have made sure device is rooted and can access card on PC so microSD card is. Anytime I move to SD always moving to NAND flash memory and not SD. I thought a change of ROM might help with SD issue and also increase speed of tablet. I am currently using jellybean 4.1 and will not let me upgrade through the normal process.
PS. If anyone could suggest a fast ROM compatible with my device would be grateful and also quick guide on how to put new ROM on tablet because not done it before.

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.

Sadly, yes I think so... I like mine, too, but compared to my Note 2 phone, it's a little pathetic

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.

Overmax Steelcore 1020 3g tablet. Partition

Hello All.
I'm new here and this is my second adventure with android. For the first time i got my sisters old galaxy s3 i managed to flash custom rom in couple of hours never having android before (im a BB user). That was easy.
But now i bought tablet Overmax Steelcore 1020 3g Kitkat 4.4.2. and as soon as i started to install apps tablet runed out of memory. It has 16Gb in total but for apps its only 1 giga. Was trying to move apps to sd card via menu, then i rooted it and trying move apps via link2sd and a dozen of similar tools. It was half-working becouse most of apps cannot be moved and even if they can its still impossible to to install some big app or game. Its like it needs to be install on internal memory and after that moved to sd. I Even formated my sd card into 2 partitions fat and ext2/4 becouse it suppose to extend apps memory. It didnt. Its not even possible to run recovery mode. The only combination of buttons vol- and pow can run some diagnostic mode, but thats all. In my research i found some (edited to have more rom memory) EBR files wich i suppose to put and replace original files in rom(downloaded from developer website) but couldnt even flash original rom. This is not a popular device so its really hard to find some info about it. I would be really gratefull for some advices, or maybe some easy obvious method that i might have overlooked. Better solution for me would be repartition from 12giga storage/1 giga rom to 5 giga storage/8giga rom in internal memory couse i dont need space for my files and its rather safer having apps on tablet than sd. Thanks in advance for any advices.

Two Partitions on my phone ?

Hey everyone
Here's what's happening ... I have an Samsung Galaxy SM-J500FN 2015 model phone,
a while ago I rooted it (back then it was under Android v5) ... I wanted to tweak some settings but I did something terrible, I played with KNOX.
Apparently KNOX and root don't go well together, my phone wouldn't boot anymore (rebooting loop).
Anyway, it was nothing, I just used Odin and a fresh new Official ROM (Android Marshmallow v6.0.1) and my phone was working again.
But now I discovered something, my phone is supposed to have an Internal Storage of 8GB, and that's the amount my memory settings show, but something was wrong with that, so I searched and after some time I understood that even though it said 8GB, my true storage was 4GB.
(More exactly I had 8GB but 4GB were constantly full, not even used by the system).
After a day I understood what might have happened :
My older ROM that has crashed wasn't erased when I flashed the new ROM, so now half of my Internal Storage is occupied by default meaning that I have two partitions on my phone (similar to when you install Windows and Linux on one PC).
But I cannot find any way to erase/reset my phone totally to get back those 4GB of memory.
If you have some applications, tricks, advice of some sort that could help me, I would really appreciate
Thank you for your time.

Hi, how are you sir.
Ok, first thing you should know, that if your phone is labeled as an 8GB phone then you will only get 4GB no matter what you do, now there is no way that there are 2 roms on one system partition, what may be taking the space could be old data from the old rom like in /android folder and could possibly also be media files from apps that was installed in previous rom like Facebook photos, WhatsApp videos, pics, and voice messages...etc, installing stock rom with Odin doesn't erase any files, but it completely replaces the rom in system partition with new rom.
Okay I see, thank you.
But still, I've explored that 'Android' folder a few times, checked photos, documents, everything ...
Now what I don't really understand is this :
You will only get 4GB no matter what you do

.
Why is that ? Isn't there a way to access this memory ?
BTW : I didn't flash with Rooted Stock ROM, I used an Official Android 6.0.1 ROM from Samsung's Website
EDIT : My phone when started in Recovery Mode first says "No Command" with the Android Red Error logo, then opens the recovery mode like there never was no error involved ... That's one the things that made me say that my phone definitely had some issues with my older ROM.

the reason why you will get 4 only is because the 8GB includes system partition, data partition, cache, preload (if there is one) in addition to the space taken from the formatting, it's pretty much the same like when you buy a 8GB sdcard and you get only about 7.3GB, or when you buy a 16GB phone and you only have 11.5GB for media (my case..), or when you buy a 32GB phone and you find about 8GB already taken from the phone and you get to use about 23GB for media files (my dad's case and you'll notice that in any other 32GB phone), that's what i meant, you also can check any 8GB phone and you will find that he only has 4GB for media...i hope i explained it in an easy way.
in my case i have an s2 with 16GB
i only have 11.5GB for media, and there is 512mb system partition and 512mb preload, and 2GB data partition, and small cache partition.., so that makes it about 14.5GB in total, the missing 1.5GB is due to formatting as far as i know, same as the sdcards thing i said earlier..
p.s: those partitions are unaccessible by default, they are hidden from the user, only way to access them is by rooting the phone and using a root explorer.
Yes I knew about that, but I never knew it took so much place
Thank you for your answer, I guess my phone is totally normal
