Hello, is the Sony Android TV kd-49xh8096 rootable ?
I need root access in order to move some data from the internal storage to the USB Stick with the "ln" command.
Currently, somme apps refuse categorically to be moved to the USB Stick even when you allow it in the develpipper options. I have an app called "DIG" that takes over 3GB of space in the internal storage and I have only 100MB left after being obliged to delete useful apps to free up space. Yet I have a USB stick with plenty of space that just asks to be used.
Frustrating.

Hi Guys
I am considering buying the nexus S and have a couple of questions that stem from what I've been reading in android related topics
1- Will the nexus S come with a software to sync Outlook contacts/calender/notes through a direct USB cable connection with the computer? are there any 3rd party software to do that if the nexus S does not ship with this software
2- I assume the 16 Gig will be divided as 1 gig for system and remaining as internal Card. I play games on my phone, and some have installation files as big as 500 or 700 MB, so will the 2.3 support installing apps on the internal card, or am I limited to the 1 gig of system space?
3- Is the Nexus S file system same or different from the Galaxy S file system (RFS)
4- Has anyone that tried the phone experienced any sort of lag after using the phone for sometime, installing a lot of apps, or after opening and closing a lot of applications
Thanks
1. No. Are there any? Probably. There are plugins you can use that syncs Outlook to your Google account then that'll sync to your Android.
2. The app limit itself is set to 50megs, if the game itself requires more, it will download to sd card automatically like that new game.
Other apps can install (if coded that way) to install onto "external", although it will still take up some internal space. Android 2.3 "apps2sd" is exactly the same as 2.2
3. Supposedly it's different so it's better, read the development forum I think people said it uses EXT4
4. All the reviews so far says no lags at all. It's the fastest and smoothest Android phone ever.
little addition to the storage space.
The Nexus S has .95GB for apps on the /data partition, this holds the apk and any other data the app stores on the /data partition.
The android market limits games to 50MB so anything bigger than that needs to download and store the rest of the game files on the SD card, most gameloft games do this.
The "SD Card" in the nexus s is a 13.3GB partition.
This is about the lack of storage. Everyone seems to be happy with the plugging in of the usb and removing it whenever it is not needed.This to me seems long as you have to pen a file manager to see your files and obviously cannot install apps on it. I was wondering if we could put the actual android os onto the stick so we boot the phone off of it so we can also install apps? Just an idea.

For that to work you would need OTG working, it isn't supported currently. Even the 8GB model has more than enough storage for system files, apps and their associated data; its people that like to carry around huge music or video libraries that find it inadequate. BTW box.com is offering 50GB of free storage for any LG phone this month, embrace the cloud people.
Hello Guys,
my P8 is currently running out of memory. I have inserted a 64GB SD Card and I've already set the main memory path to SD Card BUT as of an update has been released for any of my apps, the app will be moved back from external memory to internal.
I also recognized the external storage cannot be used completely as internal storage.
To be honest, my P8 is currently so slow, it doesn't make fun to use this phone any more Also no way to free up some internal space.

What else have you tried so far to free up space?
Certain apps (especially music, video & photo ones) can accumulate a lot of unnecessary cache (& sometimes data), so clearing this up can help a lot - you can use the inbuilt 'Phone Manager' for this or a third-party cleaning app. For cleaning app data, you may want to be more careful, checking each one individually before deciding to clean (ask if in doubt).
Also, in the 'Phone Manager' app > Storage > Storage manager, you can view what kinds of files are taking up the most space in the internal storage. Then decide to move whatever is possible to the external card - using something like the free ES File Explorer app you can move all camera-taken photos+videos (plus other photos+videos if present), music, personal documents & probably everything in the Download folder to the external card.

I recently bought an external SSD for use with my 2017 shield, I have it formatted and mounted to the system and while I can move a select few apps to the external storage I am unable to move the main offender, an app called Ariel Dream. Its an app that runs the apple tv screen saver on android tv, love the app. However, it uses quite a bit of space as Id prefer to downloaded the videos for the screen saver rather than streaming them and frankly the base line shield does not have enough storage for it.
So any way to force install app to external storage without root? Or even temporary root and then restore to stock after the transfer is made?
*SOLVED* This is apparently solved by enabling developer mode in the usual android way and enabling force move to usb option. I just found this feature is available for Android TV today.
Hello,
I tried using https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-15-1-8-1-0_r48-j730gm-fm-f-03-11-18.3751681/ but for some reason it wouldn't detect my Sim Cards, so it was a useless approach. I ended up getting the ROM stock through SamFirm and was able to install it and I have my Galaxy working again.
Now, the original issue remains > I have no freaking space on my phone. It only has 16GB internal storage and 70% of it is used by god knows what.
I have 2 possible solutions:
- install custom ROM > if you have any links please let me know. Either Pixel Experience, or whatever, I just need something with decently clear steps to follow
- use my SD Card as internal storage. For some bizzarre reason it's turned off on Samsung, how could I enable it?
Thanks!
The bandwidth of the SD card interface is too slow for use as internal storage. Use it as a data drive instead.
Only apps, DCIM and the download folders should be on internal memory. The DCIM can be safely moved to the SD card. Leave a couple gbs of headroom on internal memory at all times.
Otherwise it sounds like you have outgrown the phone. My dual drive N10+ setup doesn't have many large 3rd party apps loaded. Even so 60gb is my typical usage. Since the available storage is many times larger than this, no worries. I typically use this large volume of unused storage for "scratch" storage. More is always better...

I only have 2GB of Apps and my Storage is at 11.8/16. That's my problem. I can't even move the apps that I want to the SD Card because most apps don't allow it. I'm talking about apps that I rarely use, can't even move them.
It's not like the phone is filled with Images or Videos, I don't care about that and I always delete whatsapp crap.
Something is using the space. Keep all social media trash apps (which is all of them) off the phone. Logon through browser only, it adds another layer of protection.
Try clearing the system cache. If you can't sort it out factory reset then carefully reload. Do Not use SmartSwitch as its a known troublemaker.
Using the SD card as the data drive you should be able to come up with a somewhat workable compromise. Consider an upgrade to a used or new N10+, you won't have this issue again.
