LG F3 Rooted saying I'm out of space for anything.. I can't even download a 1MB file when it says I have 400MB free! I tried getting apparted, but I have no clue what I'm doing.. I could really use some help.. I want to play my final fantasy games I had on my old phone!
 
I'm in a tough spot with a competitor right now, as in no accesses to one whatsoever.. do you have any tips for the Apparted app on the phone?

Hey, i was on google reading random articles about this phone and came across this.


The aparted app on the phone is very simple. Just head to tools section,there you will see your s.d.

Step 1: back up all sd contents ,if not all will be lost.

Step 2: Now the first one is your sd. Check mark. Head to the bottom where it says create and scroll to format and hit apply.

Step 3: Make sure the partition is ext4, link2sd otherwise it might act up and not mount the second partition.

To explain it in lamest terms, you have to delete the contents now formated to fs32, you can split that and make the second slot ext4, thats where app2sd will store the info and data.

Actually, you can format both partitions to be Fat32, just don't make the one partition larger than 2.5GB for a 32GB card, 1.3 for a 16GB.

Why? When I first rooted my F3, I made the partition (instructions say first part is Fat32, 2nd to be the ext4) 4Gb and never had an issue. I thought about 2Gb, but it would have filled up I found out as my partition was about 55% full when I checked recently.
 
Off hand, I do believe that the Partitioning scheme is supposed to be as follows:

(use Primary Partitions, not Logical!)
Partition_0: Fat32 (for user data)
Partition_1: Ext2~4 (for L2SD)

If I'm remembering correctly, this is because the boot sequence recognizes the Ext partitions as bootable (for loading your Apps at boot so they don't break), but not Fat32.

I'm guessing you didn't do a search? This has been cussed and discussed on this forum many times. ;)

If you're already rooted, all you need a decent-sized MicroSD card, class 10. 16gb is good, 32 is better. Partition it to two primary partitions, one EXT4 of about 2GB, the rest as FAT32.

While it's still in your computer, you may as well grab the apk for Link2SD and copy it to the FAT32 partition.

Put the card in your phone and turn it on. Select unsafe sources in the settings, then browse to the apk and install Link2SD, be sure if the phone asks to give it root access. (Remember to deselect unsafe sources after the install completes.)

Then in Link2SD start down the list of your installed apps and create links for each one to the SD card, it will put them in the EXT4 partition.

Good luck.

Sorry, I'm not too smart on this kind of stuff, but I need help with this same thing. Could you tell me how to do this in plain, simple language? Didn't grow up in the computer, cell phone, electronics age, so when it comes to this stuff I'm pretty dumb. :) HELP!!!! Thank you so much, relying on you smart young kids to help!
