Who's into rooting then?

[Green Cross Code Man]

I rooted my Kindle Fire so as to use Google Playstore, which Amazon denied access to. I think it invalidates the warrantee though.

You are quite correct, rooting voids warranty.

What i am trying to do is free up some internal memory on my very crap Acer Liquid mobile as i have put just a few essential apps on it and it is 90% full and i can not move them to sd card and it runs very slow at times.

Where do i start

There's a couple different models of the Acer Liquid, at least the Z120 and the Z2. Does yours give the number? I have never rooted an Acer phone, but I have rooted HTC, Asus and Samsung phones

I don't know much about this at all but I do know that when my wife and I mentioned across a dinner table in Sydney last October that we were planning to have a root around Circular Quay the following day the reaction took us quite by surprise.

I learnt that one when I used the English pronunciation or router, instead of the American pronunciation. Got a very strange look from the Kiwi I was talking to.

I tried google translate on this thread but still have no idea what it's about.

First i thought it was about gardening, then i thought it was some strange sexual behaviour. Now I have no idea apart from Mobile Phones

All this talk of Rooting. I've been doing this for years on Linux.

This may be helpful, it may not..

When I got my S2 I looked into rooting it, so I could delete an app that was always running, but discovered that if you install "Go Launcher Ex" you were able to delete it from their app screen. I haven't tried it on my new phone yet, but it might be worth a try.

You make me sick...

I need to try this for my broken HTC Desire HD but I don't really know where to start.

or, you could pay more for one with more memory. its one of the wonders of the free market.

Perhaps an over simplification. Look at the poorer than expected sales of the Samsung S4. The word soon got out to Android fans that the 16GB phone only has about 9gb of useable memory. Under pressure Samsung have released a software update which only half heartedly addresses the problem instead of actually selling 32gb or 64gb versions which were advertised at launch.

Ya need a sheila to have a root.
