Okay, I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find it. I'm sure someone has asked this question, but has anyone figured out how to move apps to SD on the Galaxy S4 rooted? I know you don't have to root to get this functionality, but I want to keep my root access and be able to move apps to SD. Thanks in advance.
You have to be on MF9 stock or based rom. If you are then go to settings/application manager and swipe to the left and it will show you the apps that can be moved to external sdcard. You can't move everything, and it won't move all of the app, but it will move over enough to give you some room. Don't move apps that have a widget that you actively use because they will usually behave badly, especially on reboot. Also, you may have to redo some app shortcuts after a reboot.

So for now, it looks like I need to make the choice between unrooting my phone and losing my Wi-Fi hotspot, or staying rooted but no apps to SD. Bummer.

I have SuperSU installed, I will try a root explorer to check out if it actually works.
On another note, does anyone know how to get to the app switcher? it seems to be removed from the home button.
EDIT: SuperSU does not work at all, still no way to root. I read that it was due to binaries needing to be updated for the new version.

EDIT: Confirmed!
I'm seeing the ROMs for the I9505, can that one be flashed or is there one specifically for I337 yet? As well, right now I have the KT-SGS4-TW Loki'd kernel with the 4.2 GE ROM on it, would I just be able to flash the 4.3 over that, or should a different kernel be used? And finally, more of a beginner question, loosing root won't mess with the custom recovery, will it? I'll still be able to access TWRP to flash something different?
The 4.3 download named "Android-4.3-I9505GUEUBMFP-Deodexed-I9505.zip" appears malicious <-- my pc says this is malicious. can anyone else confirm this is a safe download. this is from the "ATT-sgh-i337 android development" section of this forum. Thx in advance. yes I know it says "I9505GUEUBMFP". Which is why i posted what forum topic its from.

So - I just switched to android after having ALL the iPhone's since the 3G. I also have the ATT US SGH-i337. So far, have not missed the iPhone after a month...at all.
I do have a couple noob questions...I rooted and installed TWRP with that casual installer that you mentioned (did that less than a week after having my phone, where I never jailbroke any of my iPhone...I traded the 5 for my SG4). I was waiting for the GE Rom to come out and just flashed that yesterday with this one version 1.2 at the time:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341376
So, I thought I'd get closer to 12-13GB available storage after switching because of all the bloatware...but I only got an extra 500MB or so. Second, I don't know how to mount my SD card to move picture or have the gallery view pictures that are already on it.
Thoughts?
Thanks for being so helpful!
It should have auto mounted the extsdcard, so you can not see the sdcard within the google os? when you were on the stock rom, did it see it ok? What size is the sdcard?
Also, as far as space, you are not going to see any more than 12gig, give or take a gig, samsung allocated 4gig, depending on if you have the 16gig version device. And that is with any rom you flash, I may be wrong, but I have not seen anywhere where we can grab back some of that space.

The new camera in the ROM will only save to internal storage, unlike the previous camera Google used in older versions of Android. I have a 16 GB S4 with a 32GB SD card, so saving to the SD is very useful. Is there any way to force it to save pictures to the external?

If you are stuck on the boot screen after flashing the ROM and rebooting, go into the recovery and wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache partition 5 times then reboot. Every reboot after this should be fine.

I just pulled the GalleryGoogle.apk out of the 4.3 ROM and put it into my 4.2, and it still doesn't have the option to save pictures to the external SD. It might be something built into the 4.3 ROM, but since it apparently can't be rooted at the moment, I guess I'll just have to be patient in order to find out.

I use aosp 95% of the time I've had my GS4 and I never update prl/pro and I have lte when other people who are completely stock tw don't and have to update to get it. Not sure what your issue was, all tw have the option to update pro/prl maybe something was up with Sprint..? I've had no issues using Aosp and we have some killer roms (official) for this device! Maybe someone else will have a solution to this.. I used Chainfires auto root twice and always was able to update em.

The error I get which I forgot to mention is "session in progress, please try again later". it only does this while rooted. I can immediately unroot and flash back to stock and everything works perfectly.

Oh and I'm always rooted.

I know there is plenty of info on this topic but I have a few questions and it would be nice to have them all answered in this thread. I have a lot of rooting and modding experience (previous phone was the evo 3d), but I remember reading that one of the 2? sprint s4 updates may either not allow some apps to work or kill a feature/ interfere with rooting is that true?
-So is the MF9 the newest update or the 2nd to last? Can you guys please break down the main things changed in the two updates?
- How do I check which I am on atm? I don't remember doing any of the large ones.
Finally what would the best way to root? I plan on keeping touchwiz for now, and probably using Ktoonsez kernel?
Which recovery is recommended?

MF9 is the latest official release. If you want it I recommend updating before rooting just because it is a bit easier that way. Largest change in MF9 is apps2sd capability but can see the changes here: Update Changlog
To check just go to menu/settings/more/about device. Take note of software and baseband version. This will tell you what you are currently on.
Go here for root instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257101
Recovery is really a personal choice. TWRP can be a bit buggy and depends on the version but still works for regular usage. CWM/OUDHS work fine as well. Use what you are familiar with. I prefer TWRP for the touch interface and restore of root if permissions get removed.
As for apps and MF9, I have read some having issues with certain apps but don't know much more than that. I have never had any issues with any app but know there are some with enormous amounts of apps on the device so who knows. Maybe it is a problem created when moving data to the extsd card.
Also, don't forget to check this thread after rooting. Has a wealth of information and links to what you can do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303917

I'm not familiar with anything specific to MF9. Probably depends on the device trying to connect. My Note 8 connects/works fine using the hotspot mod on MF9 and previous versions.

There is no bootloader unlock, but we have the loki exploit. This is a workaround that circumvents the need to unlock the bootloader to install ROMs, etc. So with that out of the way, to root you'd want to use this thread.

Check out the development section for the Verizon G2. It should have you covered. CyanogenMod/AOSP-based ROMs are still unstable as of yet, but Verizon progress is arriving quick. If I were you, I'd wait until they do a beta release and perhaps have support for double-tap to wake.
All other ROMs are based off stock. They are a huge improvement over your factory ROM, removing bloatware and such. I like CleanROM for the AT&T variant, but have found that for straight-up features and de-bloat on Verizon, Malladus is quite nice and wins my recommendation. It also has the fix for Mobile Hotspot not reporting to Verizon baked in, as well as a smaller nav bar. I highly recommend using the mods in that thread to get the Recents key on your navigation bar instead of menu. Much more useful.

I came from a GNex as well. I've had my G2 for about 2 weeks now and I'm in love and still finding out little things about it. The rear buttons will take some time to get used to and are styled differently than the other variants. I like the others better but you'll get the hang of it.
I flashed Malladus 1.1.3 last night and it's a huge improvement over stock. It's debloated (there is a ton of bloat on this thing) and doesn't have any negative effects on battery life. One tip I can offer is instead of following the directions to install TWRP, download the free app called Flashify and flash the recovery image. It took two seconds and worked like a charm.

Please do not use Flashify, and please do not recommend Flashify. There is a chance that it will ruin your boot partition, putting your phone into a bootloop that can only be fixed by flashing back to stock. Take the few seconds needed to run the proper adb commands in this thread.
Option 2 is easy and safe. Please use it as opposed to Flashify. The devs on Freenode #lg-g2 have had to help a LOT of people who got screwed over by that app, and therefore removed it from that thread. Please proceed with caution.

This is actually the easiest device I've ever rooted and installed custom recovery. Probably because there was no need to unlock bootloader.
It was quite breeze. I just hope the development for the VZW version picks up.I'm sure it will soon!
