Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] kingo?

[StUpId8000]

I hate this phone for one thing, whats the point of not being able to move stuff to the SD card, just plain dumb. Anyways, I already wasted my money on this phone so now to fix the issue. I find I have to root the phone. I guess Motorchopper dose not work anymore after an update and there is Kingo. I can not get Kingo to see my phone at all. Any help?

nvm, got it to work now. Need to get the new drivers from LG
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1

Yeah, you need the drivers installed to get kingo to work. I saw somewhere it was posted kingo works without drivers or it bypasses them but this is false information.

just do the steps in this link after you root. http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-f3/801368-mod-app2external_sd-fixed-duplicate-files.html Your storage issues will be solved. I also did the link 2 sd as well.

Just create/format a 2nd partition on your external_SD card. I used gparted in Linux but you could probably utilize 'aparted' app from playstore--as long as you've already rooted with "saferoot" (after ZV6 update). I formatted the 2nd partition ext4, then I installed 'link2sd' from playstore. Link2SD: choose filesystem type you formatted with (e.g., ext4); create mount script; reboot; sort by filesize (descending); for data apps (not system) select app and choose "create link" (check all 3 boxes, if possible). You just saved a whole bunch of internal storage space and overcame the primary weakness of vm720. Good luck!
