Then install link2sd to install apps to the memory card. You'll need to make two primary partitions on the MicroSD card using a partition tool and use the FAT32 file system for both partitions. The first partition can be like 28 gigs. You can make the second partition around 4 gigs and that's probably too much but just in case you install big apps. There's plenty of people with the F3 that can help you here including me.

Hate to be pester but you think you could run me through on how to run the motor chopper and root it properly ?
I'd appreciate it a lot

Click start, then run, the type command and press enter. I think that opens a DOS box I think. Change into the moto chopper directory and I think you run one of the bat files. I'll look tomorrow. I lent my laptop to my sister. There's text files with instructions though but I remember on the phone you go into system settings and into developer options and enable USB debugging.

Android has a wide variety of phones from high dollar to dollar store phones typically just like a computer you get what you pay for and rooting your phone is a wonderful thing due to the abilities it gives you iphones are starter cookie cutter phones androids are for real users..... stepping off my soapbox now lol

Hi Beth! I need your help...
So I followed motorchopper option, my phone restarted I have super user app showing on my phone now.
However I still don't have superuser access because it does not have root access? (I used root access checker app)
I really really hate optimus f3's awfully tiny storage space and would like to fix it. How do I do this? Help!

Try safe root. I posted a link in another message in this forum. It worked on mine even with version 6 of the OTA update.
