[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] Bob1900:
It means that there are some pros and cons with the different alternative solutions, and you try to decide if the positive things outweigh the negative things. With linking to SD card, the apps will load slower and I get reduced battery time, but to me that's OK because I can install a hundred extra apps and never have to worry about full storage. I.e., I "trade" some of my battery time and app loading speed, in return for getting more storage space.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
Yes definitely every thing has two sides but extra memory can over weight battery drain (might me issue with my device) which makes us to install more apps.

By the way did you observe any drain? Or any battery difference?
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Well bro ..

Thats a clean explanation . But while doing things that out perform, use a faster sdcard . It makes the app write and read their cache faster. Which will lead to the faster launch of apps. For a slower sdcard it will load slower as the slow load time makes the hardware run longer and eats the battery
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
That's why Android recommends faster SD cards in nougat (I see now)
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Not only nougat but every Android flavour needs a faster one

Hello Everyone,

I am new here and doesnt have much knowledge about the mobile phones.

I just wanted to know that i am using Huawei Honor 4x (Che2-L11) but it is still running on Android Vr 4.4.2. Is there any possibility to upgrade it to the newer version? It always shows that you are using latest official version.

am 64 gb i want about 38 as a sd card and the rest about 22 gb as an internal ........... must i used fat32 or exfat ?? in the external size 38 ??
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] keikari:
Use ExtFAT

If I'm not wrong NTFS is windows mainly file format.

Also even 5Gb is very much for ext4 partition are you sure you want to use 22Gb
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] Kireto00:
yes i know that must i use this right for the external 38 gb ?? but the 23 gb is ext4 ??

but see this post why they do it with the diskmgmt.msc ??

if something go wrong can i format the sd card ??
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
Yes mini tool partion can mostly format any type of file systems.

tell me what i must do with app2sd or link2sd exactly with video or photo or any thing ??
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] keikari:
Too lazy to make picture guide but here is step by step.

For apps2sd https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en

1. Choose "Link apps to SD card".

2. Choose what file system you sdcard 2nd partition has and choose "I've su.d support on my phone".

Optional 2.5. Go apps2sd main menu and choose "Convert apps2sd to system app" (Auto link doesn't always work if app is user app)

3. Reboot phone.

4. Go to apps2sd -> settings -> check stuff about auto linking if you want(and might be good to read what other options there is).

5. Choose "Link apps to SD card --> click the filter image and check "user" (You don't want to link system apps) --> click 3-dot image and choose "multiselect" --> select the apps you want to link to sd --> click 3-dot image and choose link/unlink --> select all and ok.

If you want to unlink app you will have to de-select all in link action screen and hit ok.

Hope this helps and also I hope I remebered everything important.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] Kireto00:
after this google play will download automatically on sd card ??

how about size of ext4 i want to download a lot of apps 23 gb of 64 is enough or its too big ??
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] keikari:
Yes.

Well it first downloads it to phone memory and then automaticly moves it to sdcard.

Depends what kind of apps.

If you donwload many games like GTA or Magic 2015 then you might want more space.

But if you download a more "mobile like" applications you should be ok with 2 - 5gb.

You can always start with 5Gb and left some of your sdcard space unallocated, so you can use it to resize ext4 partition if it feels to small(or resize ExFAT partition if it was enough).

EDIT:

Resizing partition won't format it
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
While shrinking the existing and making new partition will format new drive but won't alter existing data but extending the current storage with unallocated space won't format the partition.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] Kireto00:
u mean that u must not make unlocated partition all size of sd card only separated between exfat and ext4 ??

[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
Little correction in example 2 exfat data won't get formatted . It will be unaffected.as shrinking only uses free space from the partition.

You can alter what ever you want if you don't care about data.

[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] rustamxda:
Increasing space yet with a secure projection

Hello guys,

I have been an occasional visitor of this forum, since the launch of the phone. getting tips on upgrade, root and all that.

However, I am sort of short in ideas since my last attempt at installing a ROM, other than my own region.

My ROM currently is c185b561. I believe its the egyptian models, that have these numbers.

I had once succeeded in rooting my phone and install Apps2SD. However, after about a couple of months, SuperSU didnt work and neither did apps to SD. So, i figured i have to redo all again, and while I was at it, i tried using a different region ROM and ran into that BALONG error. Somehow, I managed to return back to my own rom, by flashing individual components system, boot etc.

while I had the apps2sd working, whatsapp would load the msgs fairly slow. like 10 per 2 seconds.

Anyways, now I badly require two things.

1- More Space at a moderate compromise on app speed

2- Security, (as in) that apps dont recognise that I have root.

Now, as I could get out of this thread, there are tons of methods mentioned for root. plus there are as many roms to have that work just fine on root, plus there are also guidelines on using apps2sd the best way.

I just need references on to which post of which thread to follow for each step. I believe Magisk is an option for avoid security check, yet havnt read anyone claiming good results.

So can some summarize which route i am suppose to take to get the desired result??

Please and Thankyou
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Hi [MENTION=8384833]rustamxda[/MENTION] , magisk is the only option for hiding root. Even superSu can do some help with su hide xposed module if u are on a marshmallow or lollipop.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
For increasing apps loading speed use a good SD card with greater read/write speed.

You can use both super su and Magisk to root your device.

But Magisk has additional benefit of hiding root.so that you can pass safety net check
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Well mist , his experience with what he heard regarding magisk is bad . He is searching for an alternative.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
he might have not used Magisk properly so he got that conclusion

But In my opinion I prefer Magisk over super su as it has root hide option which helps us to pass safety net check.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] rustamxda:
Sure thing. Can you please advise which version of Magisk is working stable for you guys. I read somewhere that you have to have a certian version of TWRP for Magisk to work.

So which version of TWRP (link would be helpful) and Magisk should I proceed with?? Yes I am on MM.

Yes, exactly. SafetyNet check is what I intend to pass, for certain apps of course. Would certainly appreciate if you can recommend a fast SD card. The one I have right now says ->Kingston Class 10, UHS 1, SD HC. But I havnt run a test on it to see its actual performance.

Actually no, I havnt tried Magisk yet. My experience has been with Super SU only. However, it stopped working after some time

Correct, I havnt used Magisk at all yet. I need pointers, steps, versions etc. Suggestions on an SD etc.

Please and Thankyou
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
Before proceeding below unroot your device and uninstall Super SU completely

1.Use the latest TWRP version from here if your device is 4X Cherry

https://dl.twrp.me/cherry/

2.Make a complete twrp backup.

3.Install the magisk from here it is V12.0 supported for our device.Boot into TWRP and flash the magisk zip and wipe cache

https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4135293&d=1493717738

4.After installing it will ask you to install magisk app from playstore. But it is removed from playstore so you need to install manually. One the masg appears quote me I will share the apk

5.I think the SD card you have is good for our device considering processor and RAM

6. This version Magisk can pass c185b561 build SafetyNet check
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:

Although I had some initial problems with SafetyNet. Core Mode solved that problem. :good:

On a side note, my SD card speed as registered on phone and PC test is 7MB/s write and about 25MB/s read. It does work fine for rest of the apps. however, that problem with whatsapp is same. If i have like 400+ msgs accumulated once I get to a wifi, it loads in steps of 10 per 2 seconds. So, whatspp is on phone. Rest is on card.
