Hi guys, I just traded my HTC Wildfire for an HTC HD 2, it has Cyanogenmod 10 in it and my battery is just going down by the minute. In just 9 hours it is on 6% of the battery. Is there any way to save energy or something? And how do I turn off the animation on Cyanogenmod 10? I don't have the cyanogenmod tab under settings, so how do I do it?
9 to12 hours is normal. Just use your power control widget to shut off wifi, refresh, gps, when not in use. Keep screen brightness on auto.

Thank you, and is there any way to turn animation off? I've been searching everywhere, but no success.

You mean transition? Those are found under Settings -> developers options. Set them to 0 and animations are off.
Thank you so much! And one more question and I'm done: how do I expand my internal memory? I've heard of some programs but I couldn't find a detailed explanation about it.

Actually, there are many ways which confuse me as well (there are just too many and I'm too lazy to read about them).
But what I do know, is that if I wanted to have my sd-ext act as my internal memory I'd flash (DataOnExt) zip after flashing the rom.
There are also some apps that claim to give you additional storage by moving apps to sd, like Link2SD. (But personally, I never believed them nor used them).
You may have to do a search for yourself, you can use the link in my signature; it's an HD2 specific search, though you can google it, it is better to look in the HD2.
As Marvlesz said, Data2EXT and other similar flashable scripts should work perfectly well (provided you have an EXT partition on your SD of course). I've used Link2SD and it works fine, it actually creates a script which makes the system read your EXT partition as internal memory if I'm not mistaken. Either way, you're going to need a partitioned SD card.
Guys, i did all of that and it still has the icon on the notification bar that it is low on memory, doesn't want to install an app from Google Play, sometimes it doesn't even download it, I have no idea how to fix it, please help me.

Did you confirm that your internal memory has increased?
If yes, it is likely trying to tell you that your system partition is low on free space. Or, depending on the script used, you may still have your Dalvik cache in NAND where you may be short on space.

You're supposed to flash those scripts right after flashing the ROM, not after days of use. I don't think just when you get the "low on memory" thing, you flash a script and it works, no.
hey there,
sry for my bad enlish at the first.
-do off wi-fi
-display time out on 15 seconds
-display brightness not automatacly(?/ correct word ? ) reduce it on lowest level it is good for you
-when you doesnt data need do it off
[Q] "Insufficient storage available"with so much space available, please help.
Hi before some of you out there start throwing rocks at me hear me out please(I mean it about the brilliant developers on the forum not disrespect intended)
Is a know fact one of the problem than the Nexus 7 (2012) have if this stupid idea of Google not letting us to move applications to the what is presented as a SD storage (I know is not sd card per se) and so far nobody have come with a reliable solution to solve it now the new Nexus is out and I think nobody is going to bother to look in to it.
There is few ways to do it for what i have read but most of them fail 80% of the time create partitions the use of S2E and so on. I haven't still manage to suscefuly do this in a simple and 100% effective move, there is always something I have try many options available and still i haven't manage to move anything last I tried was the upgrade to nakasi because they claim the solve also the lag but nothing is really improving on the applications part so I am back to CM10 and the rest of the gang.
Please don't write nasty answers or call me names that I already know if you going to write something make worth it for me and for many others in this situation, asking about how much music or videos or even applications I have because this is not really the problem this something with in the core. my Nexus is almost empty no pictures no videos no games.
Nexus 7 32Gb WiFi I was on stock ROM, although unlocked and rooted. Now CM10
I have barely anything left on my nexus - and its still giving the same message.
According to Internal Storage settings:
Total Space: 27.58 Gb

Please Help and thanks
Why do you think you need the ability to move apps to SD storage?

Your post barely makes sense. And to say you're let down by fellow xda members because one of us hasn't jumped to "fix" something that only you seem to think is broken, is ludicrous.
You won't find any help here I'll bet with your "blame everyone for your own problems" attitude my friend.
After your thread title....I'm betting someone who could or has figured out how to help you would just keep walking.
K...I'm done. And you got my vote for most ridiculous thread of the month award!!!!

oscaraperez, on the Nexus 7, the /sdcard folder is actually a symlink to a path in /data/media. It's on the same partition as everything else in /data -- which is to say, your applications. They share the same pool of storage. So there's really nothing to be gained by moving apps to /sdcard.

All aboard the whingemill! Sounds like a classic example of PEBKAC (although there's not often a keyboard or chair involved in mobile-land).
I don't think you understand how storage works on Nexus devices. You don't move apps to the virtual /sdcard location because you run out of space on some kind of /apps partition. Stuff on a Nexus device is in an essentially unified block with the exception of /system, and if you're installing everything there, well, that's your problem.
If you're out of space, you're out of space. Your music/movies/apps matter because, newsflash, they're what go on your storage.

Plus you can use the FolderMount app, and otg-helper to link directories to your USB. I use it to run large games's obb files from the USB, which only leaves the small .akp file on the device. As you can see from the screenshot, I have about 9 gigs of apps on my 8 GB nexus 7. FolderMount is a great app.

kj2112 you are a Senior member I think you are the one with the attitude just because I am a Junior member doesn't mean I don't know what I am talking about is plenty reference to this issue on Google have a look if you want before write such answer, there is even a couple of technical intented ways to work around but they don't work.
Is also a mention to this here ond XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837241 he is still waiting for help
There was a nice technical explanation on why Google is having this sort of restriction but I can't find it also explaining the issue about this trap memory
Perhaps the title is no very nice and I apologize for it and by the way I have no friends like you, your answer is just sad and prove your ignorance on this particular issue.
Rirere You misunderstand me ENTIRELY. Just because I may not be a programmer or a modder does NOT mean I am a complete idiot to technology
I thanks those one than are showing some interest on this and I will explain myself a little bit better because english is not my first language I will quote some others post around the web please bare with me and thank you to those than I using theirs remarks and even screen shots.

I did a search and seen some advice on downloading app Trim (Lagfix). But I can't even download apps (insufficience space).
* I know Android needs 500MB of space free to work with. Every OS reserves memory for various reasons. What puzzles me - is that even when I have deleted lots of games/movies basically everithing already - its still saying insufficient space? Its like no space is freeing up. I've uninstalled/deleted most of the apps.
Even Trying to update some apps I am getting an insufficient storage error - but when I look with System Info I can see plenty of space, including the cache
kj2112, Rirere are you with me?
I know there is not and SD card per Se and the nexus use those 32GB space for everything That is the reason one of the recommendation somewhere was to create and mount a partition ext4 or ext3 and with the help of S2E move the aplication like a virtual external sd card to free some of the APP space
I am calling it SD card for the benefit of other juniors members like me in case they read this post
I try to partition my SD card using ROM manager but is not working. The idea is for the table to think that part of my SD card is create a partition on the SD card that acts like internal memory, not external memory. This partition must be in theformat ext partition.I like a large ext partition because I install a lot of apps. I have approximately 240 apps on my Titanium backup pro. I made the ext partition 1.9 GB.( is recomeded not to go more 2Gb) Note: This supposed to erase everything on the SD card so I backed up first. Benefit: The tablet thinks the ext partition on the SD card is internal memory I have tried to mount the ext partition even used my Ubuntu laptop and gparted and blah blah you guys got the idea better than me for sure because I just fallow others people recommendations.
S2E seem to be working but is clearly not since there is not a mounted "ext" I have also discover researching around than S2E is also having problems with the Nexus7 in particular I have try to contact the developer OlegKrikun but so far not answer meanwhile one guy claim he solve the issue inside the S2E application but din't work for me I have also tried link2sd whit no luck.
So maybe now I have explained myself a little bit better please be patient English is no my language you have some how to read betewnt the lines in resume:
- Out of memory (even after deleting every application)
- only a fresh flash clear everything
- creating this virtual space or ext partition will allow me to install and run few more application (like any other phone will allow me to move to external memory) expanding the 500Mb limitation I know a little bit how the Nexus storage work Rirere
- jfmcbrayer I disagree with you unless I am doing something else wrong the benefit of moving app to this virtual sd (ext Partition) will allow me to install many more aplications.
- kj2112 I can't thank you because you have been plain rude and not helpful.
- bluecarbon thank I was doing that but as you can see there is some other kind of issue my Nexus is almos empty and still is giving me the storage error
Anyway thanks to those than really want to help and I am sorry I will try to change the title

As for the tittle: "I am a bit let down by my fellow forum members" is dedicate to you kj2112 and the member like you ... you got my vote for most ridiculous thread reply of the month award!!!! put you effort in helping and not in make me look stupid.
Is 3:15 here in my country I apologized if was a bit rude and cut it short
I have yet to see a compelling reason for moving apps to storage. You have the whole thing confused. Your apps all reside in /data except for the ROM which resides in/system. The link you posted has absolutely nothing to do with what you are talking about.
I think you are confused on how the system works and are causing more harm than good trying to circumvent the way Android works.

Lagfix is an implementation of fstrim, which marks deleted blocks as no longer in use by the filesystem. But it's not a tool designed to increase free storage space. Your OS knows and realizes that it's got space available. fstrim just politely notifies your memory controller that such is the case.

Android doesn't "need" 500MB free, but like any UNIX/LINUX-similar system, Android wants space available so it can page to disk. However, it will pull this silently from elsewhere in the filesystem and it would just slow down if you were truly out of space.

In order to mount your device's partitions on an external device, you would need to configure the onboard MTP to expose more partitions than /sdcard. Since what you're describing isn't default behavior (read: shouldn't be happening), you should stop mucking around with partitions and reflash completely to stock. Since you've created partitions already though, that's not as easy as it would be otherwise.

If you knew "a little bit," you would not be trying to create partitions, virtual or otherwise. Your internal table is screwed up if this is happening, and I definitely can't recall ever having this issue with Cyanogenmod based ROMs.

Even if you were doing it right, it would have precious little bearing on how Android is supposed to work by default. The new unified filestructures were introduced in 4.0.x to solve this issue.
Bottom line, revert your partitions back to stock. I don't think can emphasize enough that trying to fix a non-existent problem without fully understanding the underlying technology-- and I mean fully-- causes far more problems than it tends to solve.
Please leave alone men I need help to solve the problem

In order to mount your device's partitions on an external device, you would need to configure the onboard MTP to expose more partitions than /sdcard. Since what you're describing isn't default behavior (read: shouldn't be happening), you should stop mucking around with partitions and reflash completely to stock. Since you've created partitions already though, that's not as easy as it would be otherwise.

the partition were never created as I mention before I couldn't do it

If you knew "a little bit," you would not be trying to create partitions, virtual or otherwise. Your internal table is screwed up if this is happening, and I definitely can't recall ever having this issue with Cyanogenmod based ROMs.

What can I say is happening to me and few others google it

Bottom line, revert your partitions back to stock. I don't think can emphasize enough that trying to fix a non-existent problem without fully understanding the underlying technology-- and I mean fully-- causes far more problems than it tends to solve.

You quote some of my comment conveniently avoiding others
I reflash to CM10 I have no partion there is nothing screw up because of my wrong doing but I still have the same error I just try to get help to solve went some body is drowning you don't throw rocks at them I make a mistake on the title and I change it and apologize but you still found more issues just take for what it is a grammatical error and error of translation from my language (brain) in to yours. If you can't do anything else but to offend me why don't you just forget about this post and move on let me be a soon I find more reference to this problems i will keep updating the post whit the links hopping for some body to come along a notice and perhaps help me and help the others with this issue.
I know than I no making myself understood but why people don't just come any other explanation about my apparent lack of space and is not true I have no games no music no pictures only few applications.
Some others working with some phones with integrated memory have encounter this issue and solve it with partitions but is not working on the nexus7 why I have no the option to do so like the others and then like them have the option back to move the application on the "App info page" I have and HTC OneX on that phone I can move the application somewhere ( called it virtual external card for example) I use SDMove I have plenty space and after almost 2 years I have never run out of space including music videos games etc how this work How HTC work around this if you can help I will appreciate it
Thanks
Didn't really know what to search for to get any results, but the automatic title search helped with that. Still the threads were of no help!
I'm adding a couple of pictures of my issue, don't really know what to think of it, but I don't want to see it anymore.
The pictures, videos size was 7,7GB under a minute before I took the screen shot, I have ~99% of my pictures on my new 64GB microSDXC, but still, it show 18+GB. Also all the bigger apps that I have are moved to the SD, and I don't have many nor really big ones at the moment. I can get rid of the pictures videos size by clearing the gallery's data (gallery's data at the moment is 7,5GB) - I'm guessing that is because of the phantom thumbnails files in DCIM/.thumbnails - I recently got two .thumb.... files there, both 7,5GB!
Still what to do to get the apps part to refresh itself or to show correct data?
Any help/thoughts appreciated (on both the huge sizes and the phantom files in DCIM/.thumbnails as I haven't found anything that helps permanently with those)
got some views, but just going to try to bring this back to someone's attention who can hopefully shed some light on what's going on or what to do with this.....also if anyone has a similar issue??
Dude if u use foldermount it can do that
because the symlinks created are detected by the settings apps so it counts it in but if u want to see ur memory stat for real just disable the links in fokdermount and see settings again

I've read a bit about foldermount....it requires root, doesn't it?
If I didn't mention in my first post, then my bad, have had a lot on my mind with school and the medical examination for the army....
I'm completely stock, haven't rooted (yet), no custom kernel, no hocus-pocus with the memory except a new microSD (64GB SanDisk)
Thanks for the reply anyways and I'll try to remember that and not freak out once I finally root my S4 and see that...
I posted this to the wrong place at first... sorry!
I will give a hint, then a question.
My hint is the difference between 1.5 & 2.0 in bringing a full size window app. down to a floating phone size window. The icon to see if that was possible was in the lower right corner pop-up using 1.5, but in 2.0 one needs to swipe down from the top of the screen to see if the app. being used will do the scale down. Many apps don't.
My question.
The setting have went from standard Android to the box containing icons. I am looking for easy access to the developer portion. None of the icons in the box seem to take me there.
I know it is there, because it shows up in Malwarebytes.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi. Got the answer about developer mode.
Click 7 times on build number under about tablet. Took care of that.
If anyone wants to share any hints on the workings of version 2.0, feel free. The tablet/keyboard combo is looking better each day.
Thanks
In 2.0 it is easy to unmount the SD card in file manager. It named my SD card 'No Name' ..and just to right is a pop up that leads to an option to unmount.
Now I would love to figure how to actually give a proper name to the card. No Name just doesn't sound right!
Resizing the windows within the 11.6" space is much easier with an actual mouse attached.
Before buying the LEM4 (512mb ram / 4gb storage) i looked at a lot of different "full android" chinese watches. (Thanks to Smartwatch Ticks youtube channel for helping me with the decision).
The 900mAh battery was the primary reason why i bought this one and not a smart watch with higher specs (e.g. 1gb memory and 8gb storagespace). I mean, what good is a faster smartwatch if the battery only lasts for a couple of hours.
The only problem so far that i have is the storage space. The storage space for this watch is strangely split into two parts. It has 601,39 mb of storage space, that's where you can install your apps to (has nothing to do with the 512mb of internal working memory). And then it has 1,97gb of phonestorage (you can compare this with some sort of internal SD card).
You can only install apps to the 601,97 mb of storage space (and a couple of stock apps already take a lot of space). So when you boot this watch the first time, you only get about 150 mb of space available to install extra apps. So you can't install a lot. But there is still about 1,88 gb available on the phonestorage (the internal SD card). I have tried to move the installed apps to this phonestorage, but only one app had the ability to let me do this.
My question : Is there another way (or some sort of app) that lets you us the "phonestorage" to install apps to, even if the app doesn't support moving it to this location?
I just returned that watch to Amazon for that exact reason. I could only install a couple apps before I ran out of space. I liked the watch but the whole reason I bought that type of watch was to install apps on it and more that just two or three. Wish that there was a solution for this.

Well, i managed to get root access, now i'm trying to find an easy way to change the partitions of the storage. But haven't got a clue how to even start doing that...
Potential...

I pulled the trigger on this watch a few days ago.
First impressions, great build quality. Amazing battery life. I played on the watch half the day yesterday rooting it, installing apps and still had 60% battery life after several hours of constant use on WiFi.
When I first got the watch, before even charging it I immediately opened it up in the hopes that it might have a hidden removable sd like the Neptune Pine. The pc board is pretty tightly packed. There wasn't a sd card on top like I had hoped, but I wanted to look underneath the board to be sure. I disconnected all the ribbon cables and antenna wires, but getting the board out was pretty difficult due to how tightly everything was packed so I gave up for fear of damaging it.
After filling up the internal 600meg memory I moved as much as I could to the 2gb storage partition. Of course not all apps would move so I installed link2sd hoping I could force the other apps to move. The problem I had is the storage memory has to be partitioned with the second "app" partition formatted in ext3. I'm trying to find a way to do this over usb, on my WIn10 laptop, but I don't believe its possible.
I also installed exposed with the XinternalSD mod to swap the internal and storage memory, but no luck so far.
This brings me to another possibility. The Neptune Pine had a similar issue with its memory layout. It was installing the apps to the internal 600mb partition which obviously filled up quick. There was a mod here http://neptuneninja.com/sdcard-software-mount-issue-fix/ that basically swapped the internal with the external sd memory and made the sd card the default install location. We need some mod like this for the LEM4. I was almost going to try this mod on my watch, but realized that the mod is intended for the partition layout of the Pine and backed off for fear of bricking it.
Given these drawbacks this watch has a lot of potential so I'm not ready to give up on it just yet. Hopefully some more people purchase this watch so we can get some development action going.

Awesome man! Good work. Thanks for trying to figure it out. I've just started working with mine.
Mind posting up a link to how you rooted it?

sure,
I just used https://www.kingoapp.com/ Its pretty self explanatory. You can to go the site right on the watch and download the apk. then install it, run it (make sure you are on wifi) and it will download the necessary files then root the watch. I also installed Nova Launcher to give it a more android look and feel. The stock launcher was driving me bonkers.

Dang, thanks man. I'm going to go play now!

I opened up my LEM4 too, but wasn't as brave as you to take it apart. To try and get it partitioned i wanted to get into recovery mode but with only one button on the phone this seemed impossible. With ROM Manager did get it into Recovery mode but not all of the information is beeing shown. It's like the screen zooms in (or the resolution of the screen is not big enough to show everything). Normally i should see a screen with a "dead" android logo and on top of the screen a choice menu but on the LEM4 only the middle part with the android logo is shown. So you can't see the choice menu. And even if you did, there are no up and down buttons (volume buttons) to make a selection and then enter that selection... I would like to go into the recovery mode but can't seem to find a way with the zoomed in screen and the lack of selection buttons...
I had to let the battery drain out to boot it and het it up and running again.
OK...Jesus. What am I missing? Is the SD card slot the same slot as the sim card slot? Or is there another one somewhere??
Edit: SOB! I just read that it doesn't support TF or SD cards. It must have been listed on a bunch of generic Chinese listings that just list every feature you'd want to see. Sighh. Guess I'll join the struggle of figuring out how to repartition.
lemfo 4
i have this watch, i love this watch but i hate the memory. so far- rooted it, used app2sd, not link to sd to move apps. first of all i clicked on the top right and chose sd card as the default installation . could not get into recovery. had to let the battery die to get out of blank recovery screen. if only we can partition the sd, it will be great. i also use m2d receiver, m2d bluetooth and m2d sender to receive notifications. you can get those from the playstore. this works well when you are using other launchers from the playstore . i also get full inetrnet access 24 hrs by using the bluetooth internet feature which i connected through my phone bluetooth so weather is always up to date and i can surf the net like a mutha**cka
Anyone having issues with using the Lem4 as a standalone device with your sim inserted? I am having issues with the IMEI number being invalid and my carrier (MetroPCS) unable to recognize the IMEI.
hope you are not running on a 4g sim because the watch only supports up to 3g
Succesfully move apps to the 2GB storage partitio!n

Hi all,
I made a succesfull move action with "AppMgr III" and the "Kingo Root (including SuperUser)". Set some settings set within AppMgr for all hidden and system application to be shown. After that Kingo will ask to Allow root permissions for the AppMgr. After this it can be easily moved to the 2GB storage. Works flawless!
Any questions, just ask!

Original Rom of LEM4 ?
Dear helpfull users,
i hope anyone can help !
I brick my LemfoLEM4 after a root and a launcherupdate. The watch hang on "LEMFO" logo.
YES, I KNOW !!! I am to blame myself...
Can anyone help with a BACKUP of her/his original LEM4 (4.4.4) ROM?
ADB does not work (for update launcher apk) ! only SP_flash_tool works...
Thanks for your time !

Note: this will not work with an updated Google Play with its Play Protect system, which happens if you added your account. Uninstall that with ES File Explorer Pro sideloaded. THEN root.
I know this is far late but this watch phone was $70 at the time, and I wanted to wear the app "com_alarmclock_xtreme" with its math-solving disabling system. that makes sure you are quite awake to turn it off. (it gives you a half second to read and memorize the puzzle to solve, it changes if you back out. Quite extreme, eh?) I used root to remove some bloatware, and apps that I know would just eat up space, like Maps.. I put in some music and videos, but there were no volume controls, so off they went.
