This is my first time on a Android and I have my GS5 verizon rooted and now I really dont know what the hell to do. I defiantly want to move all my apps to my SD Card, Ive read all those threads and have been trying to figure out "Link2SD" and "FolderMount," and Mini tool Partition. I do not know what the hell Im doing so if anyone can help me that would be deeply appreciated!

While that article does give some good info on things you can do, the top 3 on it's list definitely don't pertain to our device at the moment. Having root access hasn't given us the ability to run our own kernels, and we don't have Safe Strap yet to be able to run custom roms yet either. Just a FYI to the OP..
Here's the link to the original thread for the FolderMount app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39178981#post39178981
The mini instructions did the trick for me. And it works perfect. I've got Xcom and other 1+ GB games installed and it shows that I have 5 gigs free on my internal storage. It shows up weird in the app info and in ES File Manager's sdcard analyst. It shows up as taking up twice as much space as it really is and shows in multiple places some times. But if you look at the free space it's all good. That part threw me for a loop at first.
Hope it helps.

check out following thread to upload custom ring tones..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548432
You dont even have to push files using adb.
Make a folder on your sd card as:
media/audio/ringtone
media/audio/notification
media/audio/alarm
Store your tones in these respective folders and you are good to go.
just open up a zip file from a complete rom, media folder, copy audio folder and push, paste or copy it. either in /system/media or /data/media.

thank you sooo much, this was so simple and effective for a newbie like me.
i love you!!!
This post has nothing to do with apps or games.
So I'm moving it to General.
FYI,
I would dare to say that for most members that the majority of the posts SHOULD be in the myTouch 3G, Magic General sub-forum. There are some exceptions.
If you developed or ported or modified a rom. This would go in myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development.
If you are discussing an app from Market or any other third party source(not warez!). This would go in myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games.
If it is not a complete rom... but a modification of the rom to give it a different look of some kind. This relates to boot screens, animated startup screens, wallpapers, etc. It would go into myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers.
If it is regarding a headset, replacement battery, faceplates, dock, cradle, charger, screenprotectors, stylus etc. This would go in myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories.
I realize that most of you already know this and follow it... however this is obviously a case where it needs be explained and you would not believe how many threads I move on a daily basis because so many do not seem to understand or grasp this concept.
Ringtones most certainly do not fall under applications so I took the liberty of moving this for the OP. Thanks to all that helped the member and I hope that this message from me will help with any confusion that may be out there about where to post new threads.
Also take this into consideration; I would dare to say that just about every question has been asked before. And most questions that were asked were resolved by an answer. Which means that it is SOMEWHERE here in the forums already. So you have two options:
The slow and lazy way, which is to post a new thread and if it has been asked several times before you may only going get harrassed. If you don't get harrassed you still have to wait for an answer. That could be minutes to never.
-or-
The quick and easy way, which is to use the forums search feature. Obviously this is what we recommend.
It's but ultimately it's up to you. We'll be here on a daily basis to answer your questions/concerns and to help you the best that we can.
Thanks again for your attention.
Hey guys,
first thanks to all the devs on this site period point blank!
ok now to my question and I know I'll get a answer from a great community like xda (this is my home)
I'm trying to root my Mytouch 4g tonight following trues method, and while I'm sure this has been brought up in the past even though I didn't see it. I for the love of god cannot get ADB to recognize my Mytouch4g. are there any specific drivers I need to download first before trying the TRUE method?
sorry guys for the q if it's a repost but I would love to get this beast rooted before the nights over and couldn't find an answer after searching for the past half hour all most
***nevermind yes I'm an Idiot lol you do need the drivers from http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-4g/downloads/ ... I feel so so sooo dumb right now***
Not sure what method you are trying but if you are talking about my ADB method, I will be happy to help you out. You shouldnt need to DL anything. The drivers should be on your SD card.

sorry about that bud I thought TRUE was Grankins method that he posted, got it sorted out and am now rooted, but I am curious as to where just for future reference where the drivers are located on this phone on the sdcard or internal? and thank you very very very much for the quick response, it's devs like you that make me love this site!

Its all good, just wasnt sure what method you were using. The True permaroot one. I gotcha now.
You should have a file on your sd card that says HTCDrivers.exe or something like that. If you just click on it it will automaticly install them for you. If you dont have the file for some reason or you cant find them try PDA.net. Or hit me back and I will post them.

bad As$ thanks man, I'll look for it in a bit, and after one night with this phone, I'm gonna start studying up and learning it thoroughly because I really really want to cook up something tasty for this community, you guys give so much, I think it's high time I try to give something back the best I can. Again thank you for the VERY quick response to my OP
Hello Guys;
I am so tired of this! I tried what I could to understand the benefit of ClockwarkMod & Recovery Mod! What is the difference between them & why should we use it while we have the NAND? I have HD2.
I have many data in my SD card, will they wipe all my life's information if I used one of the methods?
If I tried to get one of the ROMs I find only three files!!! META-INF, system and (I don't recall the 3rd one) sorry! How will I flash those?!
Also, there are some ROMs which have the word ZIP before the name! AND the App2SD or Ext2SD? What are those!!!!!!
I am sure that one of you will find me boring, but to be honest, at least I have learned things @ the XDA where things are explained more efficiently, I have reached a level where I can flash a NANA Android (cause it is simple) and that was from the help of XDA, on top of that, I am the only person among 2000 people who knows how to deal with the HD2!
I apologize for the way I am asking your help but it is the only way I have, and I am desperate as well. I am sure I will understand is steps are mentioned by degrees and I will promise I will understand because I am waiting for someone to reply, hopefully!
However I'm massively confused and I would appreciate XDA members who can help me grasp, comprehend & assimilate the methods mentioned above. Please help!!!
THANK YOU XDA and Members, cheers…[/LEFT][/LEFT]

I could not read one line of what you wrote because of that font... And I bet that not much people will read it because of that not-so-good font and style...

The font really burns the eyes had to highlite it to read it lol
Anyway, the benefit of using clockwork recovery is definitely worth it.
It offers easy backups of your data or even the entire rom to your sd card...
It allows you to use the zip files(be it the rom itself or update or kernel or whatever) with out unzipping straight from the sd card, meaning u dont need a to flash the rom using your pc u just simply put the zip file on the sd card and do it thru clockwork.
Whats awesome you can store multiple backups of different roms on your sd card and be anywhere without your pc and just switch from rom to rom.
you can even download the roms straight into the sd card using your phone totally bypassing the use of the computer
once an updated rom version comes out all you have to do is put in on your sd card rename it "update.zip" and you can update it keeping all your files and settings (data)
App2sd is used when you want to give your phone more storage space (especially if you dont have the us version of hd2 leo that has the 1024mb rom(internal memory)
this way you can install more applications or store more data on your sd card
Hopefully this helps you out a little bit
Thanks yall! I'm sorry for the font!
I have been using my S5360 for quite a long while,and as we all know,the main problem is with internal memory of 190.You can't even have ten market apps at once in your phone.I have tried quite a lot of things,like changing custom roms,using link2sd,busybox method,but after all,whenever we move app file,its dex files and data files are always to internal memory.I am quite tired of all this,and really looking for help.As this forum is well known for pro geeks,I hope someone might point me in the right direction.
Hyperion 9 is recommended.Please don't create these type of thread which puts a question on the hardwork of the Developer of the ROM.
Thread Closed.

Certainly not!As I mentioned,i was only concerned about more internal storage,i did not doubt any of the roms' quality,I am in no position to be judgemental.

I used Kingo Root to root my ZTE Blade L2. But i can't install CWM and I can't solve the problems with apps to SD. With jelly bean we could just edit a "vold.stab" existing in the system folder, but now with KitKat, I think its incorporated in the kernel. So only people who are already used to work with this kind of thing know how to solve the problem. The thing is..... I didn't found anyone who would at least give me some advices.....
