Hi, android newbie here..

If I have all my apps and data sitting everywhere in the phone storage.. will any of the apps, data and even the settings (e.g. widgets, icon arrangement, apps setting, etc) gone or changed or fail to function after I root the phone?

If I understand this correctly, it basically turns external microSD card into mass storage..

But before I do anything the post suggested, I have tried connecting my phone to my PC and I can see both the 16GB internal storage and the 64GB microSD. I can also transfer files between the 3 storage (PC, internal storage, external microSD)

1. Did I understand the "Mount EXTERNAL microSD as USB mass storage" wrongly?

or was it meant for mac?

Yes, without doing anything, I can transfer file directly between PC, phone & microSD whichever way you want it.
PC > microSD
PC > phone
microSD > phone (direct or operating through PC)
etc.....................

It doesnt work on apps as highlighted many times.

My question earlier was to clarify the purpose of that tips/trick.

can someone please explain the differences between the two below?

Also, If we can transfer files freely without rotting/modifying the original set, what is the purpose of the below tips/tricks on page 1.
THANK YOU
