Increase Internal Memory of Your Phone

You know Internal memory is such an important part of your Android Phone. All the apps are installed here. The users with high end phones never face a problem with internal memory. But the users with low end phones often are forced to keep only selected apps on their phones as their internal memory is very less. But do not worry know, asrootmyandroid is here for the rescue. In this post I will shoe you that how you could increase your internal memory by using a memory card.

Partition Memory Card:

So as to be bale to use a memory card as an internal memory and add to it, you must first have a partitioned memory card. So there are a number of ways you could be partitioning your memory card. here we will be suing a app named as Link2SD. This app allows your phone to use a part of the memory card as an internal memory and moves those apps on the memory card. But also latest Android versions have the same functionality but thestill the files of those apps are left on the internal memory, and again you have to limit the number of apps you can install on your phone. But if you use Link2SD you could increase your internal memory of phone by no limits. Offcourse you will need a SD card accordingly. So let’s start. There are two ways by which you can partition your memory card, and here they go.
  • First install the mini Partition Wizard Manager. here is the download link.
  • insert the card reader into a card reader and open it in computer.
  • Backup all the files present on your memory card, as in the process of making a partition you need to wipe all the data on the SD card.
  • Open the tool you installed, and open the Memory Card in it.
  • Right click on it, and select the “delete” option.
  • increase-internal-memory
    • Right click on it again, and now select the option “Create New”, Create a “FAT32″ partition. This will be the part of the memory card, where all your media files will be stored.
    • Then Select “Create as: Primary”
    partition-memory-card
    • Then, create an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition ( if you are on stock ROM choose ext2). This is the place all your apps will be stored.
    • Then select “Create as:primary”  (Make sure that it is both set as primary, because it will not be working if it is not set to primary).
    • And now click on the “Apply” button on the top corner, and wait for the changes to take place. Congrats you have successfully partitioned the memory card by first method.

Alternate Method to Partition Memory Card:

here is an alternate method to make a partition on your memory card. For this method you need the ClockwordMod installed on your Phone. So if you don’t have CWM installed, do not use thismethod, go with the above method. If yu have CWM installed, you can choose anyone. Note: This method works for both Stock ROM and Custom ROM as well.
  • Backup all your files on memory card.
  • Go into the recovery mode of your phone.
  • Select “Advanced”, ad then choose “Partition SD Card”.
  • Then Choose your SD-ext size ( Like if you have a 2GB Memory Card, choose 512 MB, and if you have a 4 GB Memory card, you can choose 1024 MB).
  • Select 0 Swap.
  • wait for the process to finish, ad then Reboot the phone. Congrate you’ve just made a partition on your memory card, and that’s ready to use.

Increase Internal Memory by Link2SD :

By  now you must have made a partition on your memory card, by either way. So it is now the time to increase your internal memory, the internal memory of the phone. So that you can installas many apps as you want, and to your heart’s content. So follow these steps below.
  • Download and install the Link2SD app. Download link hereNote: This app needs root access, so this trick would only work if you have rooted your phone.
  • Open Link2SD. You will be prompted to choose between ext2,ext3,ext4 and FAT32. Now if you have made partition suing first method choose “ext2″ and if you have used the second method then choose “ext4″.
increase-memory-link2sd
  • Then it will say, Mount Script Created. Now you Reboot your Phone.
  • Now open Link2SD, if any message doesn’t appears, it means you succeeded.
  • Now go to Link2SD > Setting> Check the autolink. (to automatically move apps upon installation).
partition-sd-card-cwm
  • If you already have some apps, select “create link” ( be sure to check the files: app, dalvic-cache, and library files).
increase=internal-memory-an
  • Now to check the memory, select “Storage Info” . this will be showing you up the current status of your internal memory.
  • And Final Congratulations, you are done, now you can install as many apps as you want.
If you have any doubts, feel free to ask the queries in the comments below. I hope this helped. :)

T-Mobile’s Galaxy S6, S6 Edge gets first OTA update

Samsung’s new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are yet to go on sale, but those lucky enough to get their units a few days in advance are already been treated to their first firmware update. To enhance that experience, Samsung has pushed an OTA update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge owners on T-Mobile.


The update weighs 178.67 MB and packs mostly stability improvements and under the hood performance tweaks. There is a brief mention of new and/or enhanced features but the exact features have not been listed in the changelog.
We presume all Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge devices will get this OTA update once the smartphones hit the shelves.

Motorola Nexus 6 arrives officially in six new markets

Google expanded the availability of Motorola Nexus 6 to six new markets. The Android 5.1 Lollipop phablet is now available to purchase from the new Google Store in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Norway, and Portugal.
This means that Google’s flagship handset is now available directly from Google in a total of 21 markets globally. The search giant and Motorola have clearly caught up with the brisk demand for the device, which caused quick sellouts at launch.
On a side note, Google also officially brought the Asus-made Nexus Player to the United Kingdom. The TV console is available from the Google Store and Amazon among others for £79.99.

AT&T's Samsung Galaxy Note 4 receives Lollipop update


Following a few previous rollouts across the world, AT&T's version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is now in the process of receiving its update to Android 5.0 Lollipop.
The carrier has posted the relevant documentation on its website, and the official rollout start has happened today. The update comes in at around 1.2GB, so it may take a while to fully download. That's also why you can only grab it via Wi-Fi.
Aside from the Android system version bump, and all the features that Lollipop brings with it, the new software features some stability improvements, and two service additions - Find My Mobile and Reactivation lock.
Otherwise, we're looking at the same Samsung TouchWiz-infused Lollipop interface that we've seen in the company's other updates recently. After applying the update, you'll be on Android 5.0.1 and build number LRX22C.N910AUCU1COC2.
As always, keep in mind that the rollout is probably staggered, so it might take a few days until it reaches your particular device. If you're feeling impatient, you can always manually check for it by going to Settings > About device > Software update.

Microsoft Apps to be Pre-Installed on Some Android Devices

Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and some other Android phones will come with Microsoft MSFT -0.06% apps, as the software giant strikes deals to push its apps into as many hands as possible.

In a bid to get Microsoft’s mobile apps into as many hands as possible, the company is teaming up with unlikely allies: Companies that make smartphones powered by Android software. Android is managed by Google and competes directly with Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating software.
Last month, Samsung 005930.SE +0.75% unveiled a new Galaxy flagship smartphone that came with a pre-installed digital folder containing Microsoft apps including file-sharing software OneDrive and voice-calling service Skype. On Monday, Microsoft and Samsung announced an enlarged partnership that will mean even more of Samsung’s Android phones and tablets will come with Microsoft apps, in some cases including Microsoft’s ubiquitous Office productivity software suite.
Pre-installed apps can propel usage because people tend to use what’s on their phones or computers already. It can also save people a step of looking for apps in mobile-phone app stores and downloading them.
Microsoft also announced similar arrangements with a handful of other, mostly small, handset companies that make Android mobile phones or tablets. Those new mobile-hardware partners include Dell, which has made Android tablets, Canada’s Hipstreet and DEXP of Russia.
Microsoft is continuing to try to make its own mobile phone system, Windows Phone, a success. But at the same time Microsoft is pushing its software like Office, Skype and Web-search service Bing into as many venues as possible — even on non-Windows computing devices.
The company’s Android-handset deals offer a window on Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s focus on building the user base of the company’s products, not just profits. As a result, Nadella has overseen the transformation of cash-cow products like Microsoft Office into apps for the iPad and free apps for Android and iPhone smartphones.
Microsoft employees are judged by metrics including new customer signups for Microsoft services and how much time people spend using the product. These metrics are hardly novel for companies that offer Web services, but they are a new focus for Microsoft, which built its empire by devoting all its energies to selling software rather than how often it was used.
“It is somewhat of a shift; you can see Satya’s fingerprints on this,” said Peggy Johnson, who was appointed last September as Microsoft’s executive vice president of business development.
Johnson was responsible for striking the pre-installed apps deals, which she said could lead to more consumer usage of other Microsoft software. “If we can engage [consumers] and get them pleased with the usage on their device, they’ll turn around and say, ‘Well, what else do you have, Microsoft?” Johnson said in an interview Monday.
Microsoft and Samsung recently ended a legal dispute related to patents, and some reports have speculated the confidential terms of the companies’ peace agreement may have included an arrangement for Samsung to pre-install Microsoft apps on the Korean manufacturer’s smartphones.
Johnson declined to directly address that speculation. She said the mobile arrangements with Samsung were “an expansion of our existing relationship.”
Companies typically pay makers of personal computers and mobile phones to include their software on those devices. Johnson declined to discuss the financial terms of Microsoft’s deals with Samsung and the other Android device makers.

Leaked roadmap shows Meizu's plans for Lollipop updates


A purported leaked roadmap showing Meizu's plans for updating its devices to Android Lollipop has surfaced in China today. And it's all good news if you own a flagship device made by the Chinese company.
According to this leak, Meizu plans to bring the latest version of Android to at least five of its handsets, namely the MX4 Pro (pictured to the left),MX4MX3MX2, and M1. This is quite something, when you consider that the MX2 was released back in 2012.
Regarding the affordable M1, keep in mind that this designation could refer to the M1 series, meaning both the M1 and the M1 Note - since they were outed within weeks of each other.
As for the actual schedule, the MX4 Pro and MX4 could be blessed with Lollipop around April 28. The MX3 and MX2 should get their taste in May, while M1 owners will have to wait until June for their treat.
Obviously this isn't official, so things might still change. On one hand, it's good to see phones from 2012 running the latest version of Android, yet on the other hand by June Lollipop will have been out for around eight months already - so maybe in the future Meizu can also work on how fast it delivers such updates.

Photos show Oppo bezelless display in the flesh

Just a few hours ago, we received an exclusive tip about Oppo's new display technology which visually eliminated the display bezel. It does so by the use of clever light diffraction, which makes it seems like the display panel extends further sideways than it actually does.


The information we received earlier was of a filed patent and today we found a couple of live photos that seems to show the clever new display technology in an actual device. Now, as far as we can tell, the two shots look real enough and the promised visual effect is definitely there. The accompanying text talks about a 5.5-inch screen size and also mentions that the technology is similar the one used in theSharp Aquos Crystal.
Looking closer at the first shot, the one in "mid-swipe", it does seem that the numbers and symbols are slightly distorted once they reach the edge of the display, where the illusion takes place. This might simply be due to the change in surface angle or maybe the photo is slightly out of focus. There are some concerns around the technology and how it affects image quality and clarity toward the edges, but it is too early to comment on the matter and the photos are not really enough to go by.


Hopefully, the new technology will allow the manufacturing of edge-to edge screen devices in a cost-efficient manner, so we can see such screens on mid-rangers and even budget phones in the future. As we mentioned in the previous article, the patent is already granted and should be available online within three to six months, so it would be fair to assume, that we might start seeing it employed in actual devices after that.
The unit in both photos looks pretty generic and mostly resembles the Oppo R5, as far as the company's current lineup goes. This, of course, might simply be a coincidence, but it could also signify that the R-lineup will be the first to receive a model with the new screen technology.
What do you think of the photos? Do you think they might contain "traces of Photoshop" and are you excited about what Oppo is developing in general?

OPPO Find 7 bundle gets a €200 price cut

One of first smartphones to come with a QHD screen, the Oppo Find 7, which was announced a full year ago, is now receiving a major price cut. While the handset alone will still set you back €479, a more compelling offer is now available, with a comprehensive bundle of accessories for €429.


For €50 less you are getting a 32GB Sandisk Ultra microSD card, a screen protector, an additional back cover and an Easy Cover windowed flip case. Not only that, but an iLike Bluetooth headset is included, itself costing €59 alone.
A year later, the Oppo Find 7 is still relevant, as it's powered by a Snapdragon 801 chipset and packs 3GB of RAM. The 1,440 x 2,560 pixel resolution delivers stellar 538ppi density, and we're still seeing flagships launched with 1080p resolution, the case in point being the HTC One M9.
On the other hand, if 1080p is good enough for you, you can always opt for the Find 7a, which is otherwise almost identical save for the 2GB of RAM and half the storage at 16GB. Bundled with the same accessories, it is now on offer for €349.
It's unclear whether the price cut will remain until the launch of a yet to be announced successor, or will be a limited time offer. So, if the Find 7 is on your shortlist, you might be wise to head on to Oppo's web store and take advantage while you can.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of rooting your Android device?

If you are an Android user, I'm almost certain you heard the word “root” being thrown around. You've probably been asked if your phone has been rooted or if you plan to as well. Being uncharted ground to new users or people who have never bothered to look into it, the term “root” can be somewhat scary. What does it mean? Do you risk turning your phone into a very expensive paperweight? What are the advantages or disadvantages of rooting? Well, I am here to relieve you of your fears and answer those questions.
Typically the first thing I do to each Android device I buy as soon as I pop the battery in and power it on is root it. It's to the point now that I rely on a lot of applications that require root access. Without them I feel as if I'm not getting full functionality of my phone.

What does “root” mean?

Rooting is essentially giving you administrative access to your device. Once your device is rooted, you will have an application by the name of Superuser that can be found in your app drawer. This application is where you can control the permissions of any applications that require "administrative" rights. This is a simple way of looking at it.
I get asked by people all the time if rooting is like jailbreaking an iPhone. It's sort of the same concept, but don't get caught saying that around  any Android fans, you may get jumped.

Disadvantages

We'll start with the lesser of the two, drawbacks. Once your phone has been rooted, your manufacturer warranty is null in void. This is probably the number one reason for people not rooting their Android devices, but if you decide rooting is not for you, the process is just as easily undone. Reversal of this process leaves no evidence of ever having been done and your warranty is back in place.
Another negative that I'm aware of is the risk of bricking your shiny new toy. The chances of this are slim to none, but if you don't know what you are doing, your odds of creating the coolest paperweight in the office are much higher. If you choose to root, please read instructions carefully. The most important steps – they're all important – are likely in bold, red, or bold and red font usually followed by exclamation marks. Pay close attention to those steps.
Security is a growing issue in mobile devices, especially since many technologies are moving to mobile space. Gaining root access does bring to light some security concerns, but it isn't as serious as it seems. Nick Kralevich, an engineer on the Android Security Team, states that rooting, "...is not a feature of a device; rather, it is the active exploitation of a known security hole." He goes on to explain that Android is "backed by a solid implementation" and that applications are "sandboxed" from each other. This means that you have to allow permissions to any application that attempts to interact with another. You are in control, even when rooted.

Advantages

When it comes to advantages, the list is nearly endless. However, there are a few that truly stick out among the crowd. First and foremost, you have full control over your system. You can install applications like SetCPU that allow you to set the CPU speed of your device manually. It also allows you to overclock (set the processor speed higher than the manufacturer rating) your device, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you know what you're doing. Other performance tweaks like the relocation of caches (browser, maps, market, etc.) can also be utilized with root access to improve the speed and battery life of your device.
The most annoying thing about buying subsidized phones is the carrier bloatware that nobody really wants to have to filter through. With root access you can remove whatever you want and install essentially whatever you want – barring it's compatible with your phone – at your own leisure. You're taking charge of your device, in a sense.
Along with rooting you will often hear words like custom recovery and ROM. These are generally for the more advanced users, but what these things allow you to do will extend the customization of your device to nearly endless possibilities. Installing a new recovery, or flashing as it is commonly called, allows you to create backups of your device on your SD card. Much like your computer's recovery can create a backup image of your current settings, files, etc., the custom recovery you flash to your Android device will back everything up so when you restore it, it is exactly how you left it down to the settings, applications, and text messages.
Custom ROMs are different versions of Android that have been modified by developers to make it look, feel, and operate however they want. For example, the myTouch 4G ships with it's own version of Sense UI, nicknamed Espresso 2.0. I grew bored with it and someone had created (ported) a custom ROM for the myTouch that was actually the software from the Desire HD, which is skinned with an entirely different version of Sense UI. Using custom ROMs, you can have both your hardware and software of choice, given that the hardware you choose has developers working on it.
Even if you don't want to go to the extreme of using custom ROMs, root access will allow you to install applications that weren't necessarily meant for your device. For instance, if there is an application that is specific to a carrier or manufacturer, given the proper tweaks by a developer, it can be installed on nearly anything running Android.
There have been home replacement applications in the Market available to non-root users for quite some time. A unique benefit over launcher replacements is the ability to theme. However, theming a launcher doesn't venture too deep into the system. Using themes created for specific ROMs, you can totally deck your device out however you want to. Applications like MetaMorph can help you with this process.

Takeaways

As you can see, the advantages of rooting far outweigh the disadvantages. This doesn't mean it is for everyone though. Some people will live happily ever after without ever having to root their Android device. If you are interested in rooting or diving a little deeper into Android and seeing how you can get your hands dirty, head on over to PhoneDog's Android network site,DroidDog.com. There you will find a little more than just your typical Android news.
The most important part of all is knowing your risks. Rooting can be dangerous if you don't have the proper know-how and jump into the process all willy nilly. Be patient, read instructions carefully, and don't be afraid to ask for help. You also must now that you are doing this at your own risk. If your device becomes damaged in the process, PhoneDog nor DroidDog are at fault. I am not telling anyone to go root their device now, I'm simply educating on what it is and how it can be used. You have been warned.
With that out of the way, don't look at rooting like it's a dirty word. Carriers and some manufacturers make it out to be; but rooting can be fun and extends the capabilities of your handset immensely. Straight from the Android Security Team over at Google comes this quote about rooting, “It should be no surprise that modifying the operating system can give you root access to your phone. Hopefully that’s just the beginning of the changes you might make.”

LG India confirms Android 5.0 Lollipop for G2 in Q2

LG rolled out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the G2 smartphone in South Korea back in mid-January. After a long wait, the Indian owners of G2 finally get a word on Lollipop update - to expect it in Q2 of 2015.

LG India’s Twitter account revealed that the G2 owners will get the Android 5.0 Lollipop update in the second quarter of 2015 - between April and June. This will be a major update from the current KitKat and hence we recommend to backup your data, perform a factory reset and then download the Lollipop update over a Wi-Fi connection.
LG had released the Lollipop update for the G3 in India but the performance of the update is not that exemplary. Quite possible that the Android 5.0’s memory leak bug is causing that and is expected to be fixed with the Android 5.1 Lollipop update.

Samsung Galaxy S5 getting Lollipop OTA update in India

Samsung had began rolling out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for its Galaxy smartphone lineup. Now the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5 owners in India are getting the Lollipop OTA update.


The Exynos powered Galaxy S5 G900H is getting the Lollipop update with system-wide UI tweaks, performance improvements and bug fixes. Of course, the Material design of the Lollipop has been wrapped in TouchWiz layer and hence it would not be a radical change. The OTA update weighs 874.21 MB.

Samsung has been seeding the Lollipop update for Snapdragon based S5 and later for Exynos based model since last December, starting with South Korea, then continued to offer it in Poland, Spain, UK,US, and other regions.
Thanks for the tip, Pradeep!

Nexus 10 is getting Android 5.1 Lollipop update

Google recently pushed the factory images of the Android 5.1 Lollipop and even released it to numerous devices including the Nexus 5. Now the tablets are going to get the Android 5.1 update starting off with the Nexus 10 tablet.


The Nexus 10 is getting a 104.4 MB file bearing OTA Android 5.1 update with LMY47D build. This version mostly brings performance tweaks, several bug fixes and under-the-hood changes to achieve stability.
This update will be rolled out in phases and that means it might take a day or more to reach your Nexus 10 tablet. Do note that the tablet should be at least 50 % charged to install the OTA update.

Android 5.1 rolling out to Micromax Canvas A1 in India

Micromax just announced that over the course of a week it will be rolling out the Android 5.1 Lollipop update to its budget-minded Canvas A1 smartphone. The update is being seeded in India, and comes just in time not to break Goolge's promise from a few weeks ago.


The update shouldn't surprise anyone as Android One smartphones have since been launched with the latest Android version out of the box in multiple countries. Meanwhile, devices in India have remained on the still prevalent KitKat iteration.
The Android 5.1 update brings improvements and bug fixes over the the 5.0 installment in several areas. Most notable to the end user is the return of silent mode, as well as better quick settings implementation for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Native multiple SIM support is brought along and a new security feature locks the phone until you sign in with your Google account, as an added deterrent to phone theft.

Lenovo A6000 to go on open sale in India from March 23 to 25

Lenovo has announced that its A6000 smartphone, which was launched back in January this year, will be available in an open sale that will run from Monday through Wednesday next week on Flipkart.
This is the first time the handset will be available without any registration as the Chinese company has been only conducting flash sales of the device till now. The first flash sale was held on January 28, wherein the company claimed that it sold 10,000 units of the handset in just 2 seconds. The second one, conducted in February, saw a total of 20,000 units being sold in just three seconds.
The open sale of the A6000 will clash with the flash sale of Xiaomi's Redmi 2 smartphone, which is set to take place on Tuesday next week.

Xiaomi Mi4 not alone, ZTE Nubia Z9 to run Windows 10 as well

Microsoft is apparently partnering with multiple Chinese manufacturers to bring the future Windows 10 to as many devices as possible. The OS to rule them all was recently shown to be running on a Xiaomi Mi4, but now the live tiles have popped up on a ZTE Nubia Z9.

    
Alleged ZTE Nubia Z9, running Windows 10


What's even more interesting is that the said smartphone has not been officially announced by the Chinese company. That doesn't in any way mean that the next-gen ZTE flagship is not a regular visitor to the rumor mill, though.
On the contrary, we've already witnessed the Nubia Z9 in live images, sporting crazy-slim bezels and an all-glass build. The innards were meanwhile disclosed by an Antutu listing, revealing that a Snapdragon 810 will power the 5.2-inch smartphone.
ZTE has been employing a crafty teasing technique to create hype around the upcoming company top dog, bringing it along to events, all the while remaining silent on the official channels. We're yet to see how that plays out in market figures when it does launch, but with another OS to choose from, its prospects are getting even brighter.
