Hi, I am going to buy Transcend TS16GUSDHC6 for p500.
My question is that if p500 will support 16gb class 6 card ? I heard that anything over 8gb slows OS as it has to read more data.
Please help me decide.
Thanks
You can go for it.

If you don't use ext partition, than you can just copy files in explorer of some other file manager, if you using it, you will need some tool, which can copy also information about ext partition.
Teoretical you can mount ext in recovery, and just do copy of all data and than restore it. Also NAND with EXT should work well.
Your mileage wrt the capcity & class of card may vary, as can be seen here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870014

I want to root my Galaxy S2 without changing kernel version and found the solution at the link above, but I have no micro SD card available. Is there another way to do it without a card?
And I quote
" Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD"
In other words phone memory or sd card also I would like to ask do you really need root if you didn't notice the instructions

Yes I need root.
And, maybe I have a different recoverymeny, cause I can only select to browse external SD card or Cache. I cannot select "sdcard" or phone memory or anything else that is browsable.
Talk about idiot i cant read lol it has to be done via external sd, there cheap enough,near enough all phones use them cant u borrow one for half hour
If you need it that bad flash a kernel

Wow! thanks for welcoming me to the forum by calling me an idiot! I feel very welcome here.. not! I hope you get a warning from the moderators.
Of course I can read, it clearly says to use an SD-card, that I understand, but since I don't have any micro SD card I just asked if there is another way. I want to root my phone without using an SD-card and without modifying the kernel.
I you know a way, please respond, but if you are here just to call people idiots then maybe you are in the wrong forum.
So i called myself an idiot for not being able to read as i read the thread you linked wrong and i insulted myself but you couldn't read that go figure.
Secondly you have a couple of options to root grab a cheap micro sd or use a insecure kernel, but as most people on here want spoon feeding everything nowadays because they can't be bothered to read if it could be done a different way it would have a thread if you can't post in that thread go in off topic and post till you have met the requirements to be able to post in certain threads.

Is it possible to root/flash custom rom without having a sim card inside the phone?
Any limitation or implications with doing so?
I haven't got my new micro-sim yet. Still using the old normal sized sim card.

Yes. Sim card has nothing to do with flashing/rooting

I have a galaxy s4 on Verizon, and was unlucky enough to update to the new ME7 build. I want to root and I know the only method out requires an SD card formatted to exfat. Please let me know if this is even possible and if so how to do it (to format the SD card to exfat). Thanks

Try using Disk Utility in System settings. Make sure the microsd is in an adapter and not in your phone. From there you should be able to select format drive. You should get an window asking you what format. I haven't done exFAT in particular but I have had to use that tool for formatting before.

Found what you were talking about. It tells me the disc is not writeable so therefore cannot change the format. Thanks a ton though, I've spent hours searching for an answer either way. Don't suppose there's a way to make it a read and write disk is there?

Huh weird. Are there any toggles on the Msd or the adapter? Sometimes those are installed to prevent them from being re-written.

What's the msd? The adapter was just one of the ones that looks like a normal SD card that the mini is plugged into. Could it be that the lock switch is in the wrong position? Didn't really check on that when I tried.

Sorry microsd. I abbreviated to msd. yup that lock switch controls the read/write ability so change the position and try to reformat.

No worries haha. Right well those are on regular SD cards, but they kept them on the Microsd adapters too. I'm pretty sure you should try toggling it it get the drive to be reformatted.

Well you'll need to extract zip files. I can't remember if Mac can do that or not. I use a MBP but I installed Windows 7 in bootcamp and I use that for all my phone hacking. You might need to install 7zip or something of the sort in order to extract the files from the root exploit i think. Just a heads up. after you've unpacked the files. only download those onto the msd card. Don't include the zip file or you'll get a read error in terminal on your device.

I have the LG L70 running KitKat and. So I got 750mb free storage space, and while I can move an app to the SD card after install, incl. the main app of gangstar vegas, but when I run it and it tries to download the 3gb data package, it obviously says not enough space on the device internal storage. Which is true, but I have the SD card inside, how do I get the phone to download the data there? im rooted aswell if that helps is there an app that can make the phone think my external memory is my internal memory? thanks in advance

Link2sd plus will do that for you. It has an option of placing the application and/or its data on the sd. It's a paid app, but only $2 - well worth it imo.
thanks ill check it out and get back to you
its not working for me are sure it will allow me to download the additional 3gbs to the EXTERNAL sd card? instead of the internal storage wich has only 700mb's? thanks for your suggestion though this is really stomping me

OK, I should have been clearer. This is more complex than what I first described. In order to use Link2SD plus optimally, you will need to perform a few steps. You can find the reasoning behind them in the Link2SD FAQ (although a bit outdated). Here are the steps you should perform:
1. Backup your SD. This is a means of precaution only.
2. Reformat your SD drive to add a second ext3/ext4 partition (no need to wipe the data or anything like that). Its size should be about 10% of the total SD size. You can do it with MiniTool Partition Wizard. Make sure that the new partition is primary and not logical.
3. Reinstall Link2SD plus in order for it to recognize the new SD layout. May need to reboot here.
4. From Link2SD plus, choose your game. Tick all Link options, especially the link data option.
This will fool the game to think that its data is located on the internal storage, but it's really on the SD. In this case, the 3GB data should now be downloaded to SD.

@TheRealAlware - why don't you try PiggyFlooper's modules. I didn't know any of them, and it seems that the first one may suit your needs.
If they don't help you, I can give you a step by step guide on how to use Link2SD plus. Do you have an SD reader? If so, some of the steps can be easier.

LOL yeah. Although I'm a big android fan, this specific issue (the whole dealing with external SD that is) is a weak spot which android keeps failing to address throughout its releases. I know where it's coming from (basef on linux) but it's still something that should have gotten a proper creative solution by now.
I have L7 II and I used FolderMount on obb of games like FIFA 14 and it worked fine,you should try it

No problem mate. It's best for you to try all the methods posted here by other people before trying Link2SD plus. If they work, it'll save you much hassle. I've tried to think of a guide for you, and it figured to me that the only way for it to work is if you either get an SD card reader or alternatively another device that allows you to mount the SD in a USB MSC (mass storage class) mode, as AFAIK LG stock devices only allow MTP mode, something that won't allow you to format a partition using your PC.

What you said is exactly what link2sd plus does. Alas, a part of the sd should be formatted to ext3 for this purpose.

Yes, CWM is Clockwork Mod - Android's recovery program. Reason I asked is that it has a built-in ability to partition your SD, something that'll ease things up.
And don't feel bad about not partitioning theSD - this shouldn't be done in the vast majority of the cases, only in when you wanna use apps like Link2SD or others that need to push Android to the limit...
ok ill look into that today and get back at you also is it possible to sideload an app directly on to your external sd? could that work and let me side step alot of trouble thanks

I guess it's possible, but I don't know how to do it...
Regarding Link2SD plus guide, you'll need one of the following two:
1. CWM on your device
2. A card reader, or another phone that allows you to mount the SD as MSC (like Disk On Key - in windows it'll show as an additional drive)

yeah i dont have a card reader and i dont know anybody that has one neither i wish i would did more research before i made the leap from ios to android i thought android was more accessible open and easier to deal with i assumed that since you had an sd card slot having a ton of internal space wasn't critical like it is on ios because you could buy memory i had no clue how wrong i was and since i got this phone and ive noticed something odd gl to sd seems to be doing what i want but only for on app assassins creed black flags companion app runs fine when i use gl to sd the additional data downloaded on my external sd and when i try to run the app without gl to sd it tries to download the additional files on my internal sd are you familiar with that app and how to get it to work with other apps like gangstar vegas? thanks man for your and everybody eles help
