Hi. I've only rooted one phone successfully before, the Nexus One and have had no need to root the Galaxy Nexus. I have pre-ordered the Nexus 7 & doubt I'd need to root that either. I like stock Android with no bloatware.
I've purchased an Archos G9 101 Turbo which only has 8gb flash. I didn't want the pricier and way heavier 250gb SSD model. However, 8gb is very little when I want to mainly use it to store video data and digital comics which take up a lot of room. I put in a 32gb micro sd to expand my storage but realistically all that will allow me to do in Android 4.0+ is store pictures, music, etc there which I won't do with this tablet.
What I need is to be able to store app data to it like you could in prior versions of Android. Since the new software works much like iOS in that everything shares the remaining memory that the OS doesn't take up, I can understand why they are starting to not put micro sd slots in. But if they aren't going to, more flash needs to be added.
So ... I understand that there are tools such as Directory Bind that I've seen links on here discussing it for other devices that users want the same thing I want it for --

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536568
I also recognize that in order to accomplish this, I need root permission. I don't have need for a custom rom as the archos is fairly close to stock but I would like to remove some bloatware and utilize an app like directory bind to re-direct my apps to store their data on the micro sd I installed. Digital comic books take up a lot of room but if I could make the app store the data on the micro sd, this would alleviate my problem.
Having explained the above, can someone please kindly assist me with a thread or tell me directly the following;
1) How to root the gen 9 101.
2) If I root, do I HAVE to have a custom recovery and ROM?
3) Once I root, is Directory Bind the best solution for moving app data to the micro sd and if not, what is?
I'd really appreciate guidance on this as I don't want to brick the Archos 101 G9. It wasn't a terribly expensive & high quality device but since they bumped it to 1gb ram, it runs pretty smooth for what I need ... to bad they didn't include more RAM!! Regardless, I'm willing to root this one & use it as my play device.
Thanks in advance for any help. I did search thru the forums before posting but there was o much information I wasn't sure which avenue to take.

Hi!
...because Archos is not a classical device ....you need to perform few steps !!!
1. You need to install ( enable) SDE menu ! please go here & press Thanks to Shano56 , for enable SDE , how prepar your device for root & ...
2. You can download & install the last Archos firmware 4.0.7 (4.0.3) - Root version ( is the same version with official Archos but with root access !) here !
3. You can not move app on micoSD ...for this you need to perform some aditional steps !
3. After you have installed SDE, you can install Custom Rom !!!
( I will upload soon the Root version ~ 1hour !) :good:
Good luck !

Thanks for the help. I don't know if I'll get it right and definitely don't want to brick the tablet so I hope you don't mind if I might have another question as I go along.
BTW ... I do not want to put my apps on the micro sd, just the app data only. The apps themselves hardly take up any room but if you read alot of books from different apps (Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Play) and read a lot of digital comics via an app like Comixology, the data they store will eat up what little memory is available of the G9 101 with it only having 8gb. That's why it's so important to find a way to do that and the Directory Bind app looks like it might solve that issue. Comixology especially creates a lot of data with the downloaded comics. I just don't want to constantly have to delete comics or books from any of my apps just to make room for more. IF I can get the G9 working where the apps recognize their data stored on the 32gb micro sd card I installed, then I'll have plenty of room for what I need and can download more books and comic books than I could read in a year. The "cloud" is fine for some things but I don't want to trust it with my entire reading library.
I will follow the steps you outlined from the links noted and let you know my progress.
-- Will I need a custom ROM or can I just use the rooted Archos ROM you referred to and if so, will it still get OTA updates which Archos is frankly way better with than the likes of Motorola??
-- Have you personally had any success with the DirectoryBind app that forces an app to relocate data to the microsd? I see mixed results from several threads and from a web article. Here's a few:

One other quick question: what are the advantages of using a custom ROM for the Archos G9 101?
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

My problem is that, while i am trying to update my android version from 4.1 to 4.2 from my SD card using .zip file, it shows the error message " signature varification failed" and stops installation.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue. please
thanks in advance
Hello everyone
I have an old GS3 and time is starting to take it's toll on performance. Therefore I am thinking of rooting it to improve performance. (I ve already done pre rooting stuff to improve performance like disabling bloatware and turning off graphics from developer options).
The problem is I belong in the category, if you are not sure how to do it don't do it! So I want to be careful about it.
I am mot a multimedia heavy type of guy so half of my 8 Gb storage is free.
What I want to do is intstall CM11 (to upgrade from android 4.3 to 4.4.4) and afterwards add a 4 Gb SD card and use it as RAM.
I know I first have to start with backing up contacts and Data.
Then I plan on installing CM11 with the steps from that vidoe/guide:
How to install CyanogenMod 11 on Samsung Galaxy s3 - Papp Ferencz [Can't post URL]
1. Download snapshot: cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-i9300.zip (212.87 MB)
[A new snapshot just came up at CM11 site, cm-11-20150901-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO3G0-i9300.zip, I m thinking of using this instead.]
2. Google and download android 4.4.4 gapps
3. Copy the files on the internal memory.
4. Boot in recovery more: Home+Power+Volume_Up
5. Wipe Data/Factory reset
6. Wipe Cache partition
7. Go to Advanced mode and wipe Dalvik cache
8. Install zip -> Install from Sd card -> 0\ -> cm-11-…
9. And the gapps-kk-20140105-signed
Will this, to the best of your knowledge (I know there are no guarantees) do it right?
Then I plan to use an 4 GB class 10 (probably) SD card and use that guide
site androidpit /increase-phone-ram [can't post url]
[Scroll to the second section for details:
How to increase your RAM when you have root access
In this section we're going to explain how to increase your RAM with a rooted device. The trick involves creating a partition on your SD card, which will act as a secondary source of RAM. To do this, we will be using the ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP) app ... ] etc
Do you guys also know if this will work?
I m open to alternative implementations as well if you guys have tested something and are confident it will owrk on the I9300 int version.
Thanks a lot for your help
You should post this in q&a but if u want to install cm u don't need to root just flash cwm and install cm from there
Thanks, I ll repost at the Q&A section.
Also I don't want just to install CM but also increase RAM to boost performance and I need to be rooted for that I think.
I'm using a infocus m530 it runs on Android KitKat my devices is rooted . now I have problem while installing apps it say out of space in device but I have about 5gigs of internal memory . please help
do a factory reset.You maybe modified the system in wrong way.or some root app might cause this problem.
Thanks for the reply
I will try
Hello!
I have this "F" tab and its very hard to find any custom rom that works.
I tried install some that was to the "I" version, they dont even install.....
I managed install Cyanogenmod....but I would like to have Android 6 or never.
Is this even possible?
Why I want 6 is the adopted storage...the main problem with this tablet is the too small 8Gb rom memory!
I want use SD card to applications....
Im a newbie with rooting etc...managed to install TRWP and now this cyanogenmod, but now I lost root access too
Nevermind!
Asked in another forum also about this and the answer was that my tablet too weak to run Android 6+...
I got root just booted to TRPW and choosed reebot and then it asked if I want root...choosed yes!
After that tablet started and it asked me to install super su from playstore, since I dont even have playstore I just downloaded SuperSu app to my phone and did a backup APK that I sent via bluethoot to this tablet. Voila tablet rooted again.
Then installed Link2SD app (in the same way)...
Did partion my SD card in my computer, first as FAT and second as EXT4....
Now I have a lot of memory to install apps in my tablet!
