Hi I am wondering about what preinstalled app in the F60 from MetroPCs are safe to remove after rooting. This phone lack in space and to me the whole packet from metroPCs is useless because I am in Cuba :rolleyes:. Any help in removing spywares and other junks apps.
 
If your not rooted, you can disable some apps but not all metro apps. If your rooted you have the option to freeze or even uninstall the system app. However, the system apps aren't the ones taking most of that 4gb of internal space.

My alternative to the overbloated stock rom issue is a setup of a rooted ms395 with a 32gb micro sd card that can be written so if i'm short on internal mem I can move big apps into my external sd.
 
Yeah that's right.I move a lot of the biggers apps to SD but several don't let me do it. For instance some side loaded apps with bigs obb data files does'nt works moving those obb to android folder in SD 16 gb card. By the way My ms395 is rooted. Any thoughts about how can i archive that?

You can use Link2SD to move apps to the SD. In stock android you can't always move certain apps and a lot times even apps you can move still leave a lot of data on the internal storage. To use Link2SD you need to make a new partition on your SD card with the file system of ext4. There are guides around to help you do that, I certainly was confused and I messed up a little. Make a backup of your SD card before doing that though.

If you do use Link2SD please be very careful and not move system apps to the SD card. Even some apps like Chrome should not be moved. I stupidly tried to move Chrome and that was a big mistake since it made Chrome nearly unusable then I had a heck of time getting everything back to normal. Only backup apps you download and nothing stock unless you know for sure it is ok.
 
Thanks to a friend that give me a app called FolderMount it let me mount a symbolic link in the main memory to a folder in the external SD. That's works perfect i have now my big fat obb files in the external :D

To use more space on SD, use SDfix in play store,only works if rooted. It allows you to change kitkit in order to allow pasting to SD.
