I also asked for this body, something went wrong, I reshooted it again, lost it, entered it through the engineering menu, through the Mobileuncle Tools prog

[renatd81]

Can I ask for cwm?

[Astrolist]

Can someone tell me how to install applications on a memory card?
And then I see only internal memory (~ 1.3GB) and "external type" for 35 MB.

The card (FAT32) does not see the application at all, neither link2cd nor foldermount.

How to install applications on a memory card?

No Can only be transferred usingFoldermount
ps and thats only cache

[devilkid]

BaBuBuDu,not just a cache - any data. You just need to manually specify the desired folder (without using the analyzer).

[Astrolist]

BaBuBuDu,
devilkid
As you are bad at reading ... I say - the SD card is not visible on the external card, nor is the link2sd nor the folder mount, nor the analyzer, nor the manual one. In the conductor everything is fine, movies and books are seen and obeyed.

ps trytanksinstall - only shows ext. memory and stub.

ps No.2 fstab toli need to be edited, whether I need xs ... I need to change the internal memory and external places ...

Astrolistwe can read :). The problem does not disappear from this - installing applications on a memory card is not possible yet, or here they do not know about this opportunity. Edit vold.fstab did not give the result (someone has already tried). With folder mount, I did not have such problems. Maybe something is wrong?

[Astrolist]

Maybe something is not right.
Try it you installWot blitz /
It turns out - I will dig at myself (more precisely, at my son-in-law, his body). And no ... I will undermine familiar romodels.

A small instruction for transferring applications (the entire data folder) to a memory card using folder mount:
1. Be sure to make a nandroid backup from recovery - the folder mount is very capricious, and after this procedure you can be left without your applications.
2. Using any root fileman (I used this:X-plore File Manager (Post # 4836252)Create a data folder in the root of the memory card and an app folder in it.
3. From the / data / app folder, transfer all files to your storage / sdcard1 / data / app folder. Of course, the folder mount itself (fm will continue) and your file manager located in the same folder should be left (I made the file system one at all, but fm refused to work after this :)). Just leave or make the system launcher, if using third-party.
3. Now go to fm and click "+" in the upper right corner of the screen. The name of the mount point can be any, for example, data. Next, tap on the "mount source". After the list appears, press the "menu" button or three dots in the upper right corner. In the menu that appears, select the "root /", agree with the written (you can read this before :)).
4. Select / data / app, click the check mark in the upper right corner, you are automatically refused to create a folder. Next, tap on the "destination" and select your folder (sdcard1 / data / app). Click the checkbox to refuse to move files. After that, click on the clip in front of its mount point. All is ready :) .

IMPORTANT! Any departure from this sequence of actions resulted in either a fm error or loss of applications. Before installing / updating the prog point, you need to unmount the point, then use the fileman to manually transfer the new apk from / data / app to your folder, then mount it again, otherwise the ability to unmount the points will be lost, and both folders will be fully connected to all of the consequences (or if the application is not from the market, instead of using the installer, manually move apk to your folder and set permissions as for neighboring files). I don’t know if all the applications will work after that, I have a couple of errors crashed, but then the applications worked again. The remaining data (cache, etc.) must be mounted separately.
Generally, of course, this is a perversion. I did it all out of sports interest, rebooted a couple of times, checked the application performance and returned everything, as it was away from sin, but if this is the only option for someone, try it. Remember - everything that you do, you do at your own peril and risk, you have been warned about the backup. Fm is not very stable after this procedure, so make a backup at each successful stage. Good luck :)

Why only one firmware, does anyone have any other on this phone?

[devilkid]

olimpdragongenerally there are two of them :). And what does not suit them?

[olimpdragon]

Devilkid @ 11/28/2014, 10:40 PM

Olimpdragon, in general, there are two of them. And what does not suit them?

Well, at least not in one not in the second there is no display of running tasks on the xom button

Do not mislead people. In the second (custom) there is a default, and for the first (drain) you need to install a patch.

Well then, I don’t understand why when I clamp HOM, Google searches for me, it’s not quite like running tasks

Who cares about 2 patches: sound improvement and a player from Sony taken from a neighboring topic, tested both on custom firmware, installed via TWRP, work, in a walkman so that the player finds the music you need to rename the music folder to Music, at least for me found, first the name was in Russian.

How interesting ...
For some reason, I don’t want to install on a memory card ... some kind of incomprehensible memory is in the way ...

[tomekk89]

Yes, I also had the old version, gave out internal. memory and stub, and it was impossible to install, and now that downloaded from the market playlist itself was established and did not even ask where to install

[Astrolist]

tomekk89
In, this is it. We will try.

Nothing better to improve sound.Р’В® ViPER4Android (V4A) (Post # 17587799)have not seen :) .
