angry birds rio not updating

so i got rio from the amazon store.
now that the update is out it never shows as needing it. i've done the refresh my apps option. tried a couple times and restarted the phone.
i dont know if this is device specific but id rather not lose all my stars in order to update.
ideas?

You have to uninstall old version in order to play new one. Try RIO backup to save all your stars

it doesnt backup the fruits i had every one of them in the first world.
thanks though this saves the stars at least

you can unlock all fruits with UnlockRIO11 ........

strangely enough it backed up my fruits too! awesome.
now i can actually transfer my scores to my tablet too.
does anyone know why rovio hasn't gave us online scores like on the iphone?

Have the may levels come out yet?

They came out in may...

I didnt have to uninstall the game, I just noticed it said it couldnt update to the card, so i looked in the apps and in the settings i noticed it was installed to the sd card, which i didnt do, it must do it that way automatically, i guess, so i just told it to move it to my phone and i updated again...and viola, it worked...

I had the same problem with my phone
here is the manipulation was done in order to update the game
1- Move the application on internal memory of device
2- Make free space on internal memory
3- Go to the Android Market to make the update
4- (optional) Move he application on SD memory

Free Time keeps losing apps

I bought a 2015 Amazon Fire Kids' Edition and a 32GB SD card for my son for Christmas. I followed the directions here to upgrade to 5.1.1 and maintain root and the 5.0.1 bootloaders, set up Google, etc. We decided to use the one year of Free Time that came with the tablet to make things simpler to set up and maintain, at least initially. However, my son keeps having to download apps, even ones he frequently uses, all over again. There is plenty of space on the SD card, and there appears to be plenty of space on the internal memory too.
I haven't been able to find a lot of discussion of this issue online, and I'm not sure if that's because it is normal and everyone thinks it is ok, or if it is because (especially on XDA) everyone is using some other setup.
Are other folks having this issue? Is there any way to force it to store the apps on the SD card and not constantly download apps that were already installed?
Since this isn't my device I don't want to spend a lot of time messing with it. I just want it to work without complaints. Even my wife is ticked that Free Time works this way!

if you have FireOS, have you tried contacting Amazon? Just wondering... Otherwise mention which ROM you are running.

I have the exact same issue on both my kids tablets. Apps have to be downloaded again very often, they still show as installed in settings. It even does it on apps downloaded from the normal appstore when they are added to the kids area, but the same apps run with no issues when not on a kids profile so I know they don't need to download extra data or update to run. Have you come across anything that is causing this? I'm going to try speaking with Amazon tomorrow. Both mine are unrooted stock.

I have two tablets and having issues with one of them at the moment. Originally I left one stock (kids subscription) and set the other up with slim rom, but ordered a third (another with the kids sub) and gave away the one with slim rom. The one with fire OS has only the lock screen ad remover and OTA blocker mods. It has an 8GB SD card but constantly running out of space, I can't even uninstall apps to make space now, so frustrating.
I thought the 1yr subscription to all the kids content would be great but its no good if you cant actually play or use them. The best thing I done was change the one to slim rom, didn't have one issue, had access to everything on play store and you could still set up parental controls.

Do you still get access to the kids content that comes with the subscription?

I got a Fire tablet forma the kids thought the Free time thing was great, but every time an app is launched it seems to be downloaded again. This is frustrating. I also searched but didn't find much on the topic. Any news on what causes this? I have moved all apps to the SD, maybe that's part of the cause?

Possibly. If the migration method did not utilize symbolic links good chance relocation is the culprit. Move one or two back to internal storage and see what happens.

New to Android. Just looking for some pointers.

Hey all. Long time Blackberry user here. I have a couple questions about my note 5 I just picked up.
- Can I root the device (I'm on verizon)? I've done a bunch of googling and so far it seems like verizon has done a good job at making it impossible?
- The main reason I want to root is to just to rid my phone of all the JUNK apps I don't want. If rooting my phone isn't possible, what's the best way to prevent the apps from taking up space and using up data? With no sdcard slot, space will be a premium, and I'd like to free up as much as possible.

Right now without root access on our Verizon Galaxy Note 5s there's no way to get rid of the apps to free up space. However there is a way to disable the apps by using Package Disabler but you have to make sure that you don't disable anything if you don't know what it does because you can end up causing the phone not to work or not boot in which case you'll have to do a restore and lose everything. I actually made the mistake and disabled some things that I shouldn't have and it caused the phone to get stuck at the Verizon logo so just be careful what you do with it! Also if you disable certain things that the system needs it can actually become detrimental to the battery life and make it run out faster. Personally I'd say to just leave it alone unless it's actually doing something because on mine I noticed that if I don't use them or tap into them they won't run anyway.

hi,
Here's a few pointers, what i do (managing free space)
Firstly, i am also on a branded version. No root, stock Rom.
I found that i could uninstall most of my carriers bloatware,
( see... Device /Settings /App Manager)
Other system bloat apps, i just disabled in App Manager.
Check system apps like...
Eg S Voice.. Briefing.. S HEALTH ?, (if you can disable.)
Secondly your stock Smart Manager, /App Powersaving, the apps i hardly use, i set to always... optimizing.
I used to store movies on my ext Sd card, (but as
we have no Ext Sd card) , i keep my movies on
a mini OTG SanDisk. If i want to watch,i plug /attach, OTG and watch.( Saves a lot of space)
Eventually, you just "adapt" to the limited space.
Good luck
Post note,
Root, is not always the answer.!
Sometimes you just create, more problems /issues
for yourself.
All my other devices Note 2/3/4 is rooted.
My Note5 is not rooted and i am overall very happy with device.
I only have 2 x small system bugs, nothing to stress about /root (Found a roundabout way to fix these.)
Otherwise.......
(Battery life is good , Device runs very smooth, optimized good)

Thanks for the response. I've gone through and just disabled all the verizon apps that I could, as well as a few of the samsung apps I feel pretty confident I won't be using. Seems like rooting is more of a headache then I really want to get into right now with a new device, and a brand new platform (I've literally been using an android for 2 days now).
Thanks again!

Move Apps to External Storage

did we lose this capability in the Note 8? still haven't found a setting and my aqua mail isn't letting me select my extSD for storage of attacments. anyone find it or is it gone? any workarounds other than root?

I honestly thought that ability was removed several years back. Like maybe 3-4 years ago. I could be mistaken.

thanks. wtg Sammy. take away the functions we use most. why allow large external sd cards if you can't store anything there. zero permissions to access it for important apps and no way to move hoggy apps there. nice. definitely rooting again. so tired of paying for fewer and fewer really usable features. dumbed down devices are not my thing.

Yes it was . Google removed that ability in kitkat.

Some applications have option to move to SD, but not all: settings/apps click on application, then storage. If you don't see "storage used - change" then that app is not movable. However SD card is not as reliable and fast as internal store, so I wouldn't move important apps even if I could.

Just tried this and it shows that it was "moved" to my SD card. The storage being taken up increased but on the internal storage it reflects the same. So probably didn't work.
Edit: Okay so it does work but not for all of the Apps/Games I tried. I'd say about 10% of the apps I tried didn't actually go over to the SD Card but the rest of them did.

some clarification for me...
so even though inside the "apps info" tab on a particular app, if it says "external storage" it may still live on internal? or will it show "internal"?

Exactly, at least from what I'm currently experiencing. For example I had 18.2GBs before I moved GTA San Andreas which is roughly 2.8GBs. From what I can tell it didn't increase my space on the internal as I still have the same 18.2GBs but it also took up more space on my external SD card. So I don't know if it is some false positive but I've restarted a few times and installed other apps. The storage still hasn't changed. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this phenomenon?

Thanks for the follow up.
I moved some things over to SD card (i have a 400gb SSD card) like WhatsApp, philips hue, instagram.. things like that. Nothing serious like any CPU intensive apps. I "see" SOME more internal storage open up but i need to look into it further myself.
Still thanks for starting this discussion. I miss the old days of moving apps to SD (there used to be a program , apps2sd, that would do this in the early days of android) and 64gb is not a lot of storage for apps today. Most of us have over 100+ apps (on a power user device like this device, I would have expected more).
If understand its safer to keep apps internally so as to now cause issues, but having their ability to Mose simple apps like WhatsApp and such, can help.
I don't plan to root so being able to do this and KNOW it will work is intriguing.

the bigger picture for me, until root, is being able to allow different apps to store their images, docs, etc. on my extSD. things aren't working the way I think they should. man I hate knox. need root now.

you're welcome. did a search and was surprised someone hadn't already brought it up. I haven't seen anything that I can move, and it appears as if it's not working at all for me on Sprint. I'll check again later. got tired of things that didn't work and started to play.

Google has been screwing with SD card access since Kitkat, if I remember correctly. They don't use it on their phones and messing with permission and all kinds of nonsense to make people move away from SD card to use and pay for their stupid cloud. At least now the permissions are set properly. Anyway, root could be difficult on Snapdragon, S8 just got root few weeks ago, around 6 months after release, so don't hold your breath. But I'm finding that a lot of stuff requiring root can be accomplished with ADB, I just wish somebody made a comprehensive list of ADB tricks. In the past I used root mostly for disabling bloatware and adding functionality, like adding AC3 codec, but there are workarounds for some of those things, just hard to find sometimes. Knox doesn't bother me too much, I may be using it's secure folder for sensitive data, like banking, credit cards, I just hope it's as secure as they say it is, because I have my doubts.

good info about adb. I'm out of practice with it and, yes, a comprehensive list of working adb commands would be great. I'm not in a hurry for root. I know it takes a while. and if we don't get it (I would be surprised) I can deal.

I'm not one to root but the main reason i want SOME apps on SD is their folders they store their data in, like whatsapp for example. Conversations in WhatsApp span many years and gigs of videos and photos in a few of those conversations. Having that on an SSD card would be choice.
P.s. Lol love your screen name bro... :good:

Go into developer options and you can turn it on. You can put majority of your apps on your card. No system apps.

thanks.
and exactly what you said. some apps like whatsapp... and others. it's just necessary. for the moment I just want the permissions fixed and that's going to take disabling knox and/or applying a fix to do both like for the N4. not sure that type of thing is even doable anymore.

Ill keep an eye out on this thread. If you found more tips/updates on this please post.
I just moved a LOT of stuff over to SD. Evertying i could. Some things, google maps for example, didn't have the option of moving over, so maybe some of these will stick..
I was one danergously low on internal storage, but if i can move things over, I will.

Dual Apps but Android 8

So, I got this with the "Android One" or whatever that is. I was looking for this phone to have the MIUI 9/10 to it. However, I have the phone with Android 8 instead... UGH!
1) Is there a way to NOT root the phone and get the MIUI?
or
2) Is there a way to get dual Pokemon Go to play at the same time.

Don't have the phone yet, but maybe you could do that with Island (on xda) or apps like Parallel Space on Play Store.

Don't know what Island is. I'll check it soon.
Parallel Space doesn't let me play both sessions at the same time, for one. 2, the other session of Pokemon Go, it doesn't let me log in to my other Google username where my other Go is attached to. So, Parallel Space is out of the option for me.

Better use island by oasis feng (the one who make greenify). It's utilizing android for work and working best since (doesn't take much space, don't affect performance and ram tho)

In essence does the same thing as Parallel Space but better: it uses the built in Android for Work system, so it's more stable and reliable.
You can both clone app or have a seperate space to have some apps you don't want them in your normal space. You can also use greenify to make sure cloned apps are hibernated and don't use resources if that's what you want.
AFAIK you can run both apps (normal and cloned) at the same time.
