For anyone struggling with lack of memory problems on the Allview P3:
I've succesfully rooted my Allview P3 (Gingerbread 2.3.5) and installed Link2SD for resolving the lack-of-memory problems!
I couln't find any info whether anyone had experiences with rooting the Allview P3, so I just took the risk and tried it...
For other owners of an Allview P3, below the Allview P3 specific things-to-know.
Details and tutorials about rooting and what Link2SD is and does, can easily be found on the internet and will not described here.
See the info and (many) tutorials on the internet about rooting, and preparing and installing/implementing Link2SD for details.
Below I
only describe the additional information that you've to known for the Allview P3 specifically (for all other info: see tutorials).
A) Rooting the Allview P3 can succesfully be done using
UnlockRoot v4.1. See
UnlockRoot/UnlockPhone/UnlockFlash---Android Root.
Easy, and done in a just couple of minutes. When succesfull, a "SuperSU" entry will exist on your phone.
B) On your SD-card, you've to create a 2nd partition for Link2SD (again: see one of the many tutorials why and how to do that).
I used - as mostly recommended - the "MiniTool Partition Wizard". See
Free Partition Magic alternative, partition manager freeware, partition magic server, partition magic Windows 7 and free Partition Manager software for Windows 7/8/VISTA/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2000..
Make sure to backup your SD-card before you start!
For Link2SD usage on the Allview P3, create the 2nd partition with following Allview P3 specific info:
- A size for the 2nd partition of somewhere between 512MB to 1GB is sufficient.
(some people describe that exceeding 1GB for the 2nd partition may cause problems, so I used something like 1.000MB, which is more than enough).
- Make sure to create the 2nd partition as
Primary
- Most tutorials recommend to use Ext4 for the 2nd partition when your rom/phone supports it, else Ext3, and also tell you that selecting Ext2 is safe and will always be OK.
This appeared to be
not true!
Only creating a 2nd partition on your SD-card as
FAT32 was finally OK for Link2SD on the Allview P3!
When above preparation is done, install Link2SD and follow the instructions/tutorials.
Via Link2SD then create "links" for all (or most) of your Apps (again: see tutorials; no further details described here).
70% of internal memory on my Allview P3 is free now!
Success!!
