Hi,
my friedn has a moto g with 8gb internal memory. He is on latest stock rom and only makes some photos at home from his family, childs and so on and uses whatsapp. Thats all.

But the phone is always out of free space, so he couldn´t make new photos. I made a backup of all pictures to the computer and freed some space, but in short time the space is full again - and he is no power photographer. Only a few phots every now and then.

So i bought him a sd-card. But whatsapp photos still make his internal memory get full. Because with low free memory he couldn´t install updates anymore (playstore updates from installed apps...)

So i used the android functionality to combine the internal and the sd card space to a big internal space. But in short time, the sd card got stuck and all data was gone...

So my idea was, thet i install a custom rom to get the whatsapp photos to the sd card (only photos, apps and so on still internal memory). I think, in this case the sd card will last longer...


Any ideas / tipps for me - maybe there is a better solution?

Or maybe only root stock rom and do that without installing a custom rom? What would you suggest me to do?


---> Only used apps: photo app and whatsapp ---> save photos/videao of all apps directly to sd-card, so that internal space will be free neough to install updates and so on.

you need to root to solve those problems.
remove unnecessary applications and and files, also integrate the updated application by using titanium backup.
