Dude do know how to install app from SD card without using Google play.
Then first install the app from the attachment framaroot 1.8.1.
Now go to settings and go to about phone option.
In the build number option that appears keep on tapping it. Then it will say developer option has been enabled.
Now return back and u can see the developer option with " {}"
Go in and tick USB debugging.
Now open the framaroot app and click on the boromir exploit
It ll say success
Now reboot your phone.
U can see the super user app after reboot

Hi buddy. I hope u have installed busy box and ctr recovery.
If no first install ctr recovery and busy box.
Busy box installing app is available in play store.
Ctr recovery installing method is mentioned in my second post. Pls see it.

Then after u have installed the above take a backup of your phone. Its very very important. Then follow the steps in my second post regarding link2sd.
Note: terminal emulator is an app which available in play store.
If u still can't get is right I ll help you. Just ping me again. Don't forget to thank my post.
To ping me type @ then followed by alanvmathew.

Simple solution for low Internal memory by using Titanium back, we can move all the user apps to SD card and u can also uninstall the useless apps present with stock rom.

yep u r right buddy.:good::good: but the apk file still stays in ur internal memory. by using link 2 sd u can even move the apk file to second partition. Moreover some apps do require to be in internel memory for wigets to work. so second partiiton helps.

Use Force2SD from Play Store. Pushes apk directly to SD Card and no partition/ format SD card required.

It works same as titanium backup ,apk still remains in internal memory. only apk data is moving to the external sd and even few apk c'nt move by force2sd like goggle search, while titanium backup can move any apk.

Hmmm let's see..
Use any root file manager.
Can u see a folder named sdext2 inside data folder??
If not make a folder and set permission to 777


Next download the attachment link2sd from second post and copy the install_recovery.sh file from the download and paste it in etc folder and again set permission as 777.

Now open link2sd and select recreate mount script and select the partition as ext4 should work. Works fine for me.

Long press on the install_recovery. Sh and then execute the script. Then try opening link2sd. It might work. Try and say.

if not working. download the attachment and extract it. place the extracted files "11link2sd" and "99complete" in init.d folder...
if u dont have init.d support download the universal init.d app from play store install it and activate init.d

OK cool down buddy. It also took me a day for it to work. Seems like u haven't changed the permission s of the link2sd and 99complete script change it to 777
If not working try using fat32 partition and edit the recovery_sh file for fat32. Will work for sure. Don't lose hope.:good::good::good::good:

    Increase internal Memory !! Link2sd Working !! [Use Manual mount Script]

    Steps
    1. Partition your sd card to have an ext4 2nd partition. I used a second primary partition of 512mb (ext3,ext4 fat32 confirmed working)
    2. Install Link2sd from playstore.
    3. Mount /system read-write and Copy attached install-recovery.sh to /etc/ using any file manager with root access.
    4. Using filemanager(root) goto /data and create directory sdext2. or mkdir /data/sdext2 using root terminal
    5. Set permissions on the copied file using filemanager(root) as in screenshot or chmod 777 /etc/install-recovery.sh using root terminal.
    6. Done!! Reboot your system and check link2sd->Storage info to see the mounted partition details.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Incase you want to test if link2sd will work or not with your current sdcard 2nd partition, issue the commands in terminal

    su
    mkdir /data/sdext2
    mount -t ext4-o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2
    or
    mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Make the following changes in the mount command in case you are using a different partition/filesystem
    Open your install-recovery.sh and
    Replace ext4 with ext2/ext3/vfat depending on you second partition.
    If using a partition other than 2nd partition, Replace either mmcblk0p2 with mmcblk0p3 OR 179:2 with 179:3 or so on depending on your partition no.
