Planning to get 1 soon but internal storage too low, split partition some more.
Any of you rooted to combine with ext sdcard?
No need custom rom just root with stock rom will do.
Btw, how much ram available after boot up, many bloatwares?
Oh yeah, actually not yet made up my mind either p780 or s820 both very similar hardware apart from LCD size, battery & camera, this phone is for my wife so what you guys advise, still weighing both phone features.

She is currently using sharp sh530u start to complain about internal storage full (2 partitions 2GB+ & 14GB+) & lags.
The 1st partition (phone memory) full but the other just 50% & most apps can be moved to 2nd (internal memory) as well, some can't like Facebook, chrome & few others.

S920 a bit larger but look nice, tried before smooth, like I said storage is split into 2, the phone memory is too small unless root & combine with ext storage (>4GB), or else same problem surely re-occur.
Anyway, my budget <1k that's why looking at Lenovo or else I would have bought others (Huawei P6, nexus 4 or S3).

Would have taken Xperia SP if the screen at least 4.7".
Tested by wf she said too small.

So any of you guys rooted? There are guides for MTK6589 rooting (applicable to S920 also) & partition resizing.
Not sure can use same method for p780.

Can this phone able to be rooted using the method as in the tutorial, have you tried?

Thanks for the heads up.
Thinking of getting 1 tomorrow (Online order).
Btw, does it come with OTG cable, cause I saw some sellers bundled as FOC gift.

New user reporting.
Already set default storage to ext but apps installation still going to internal.
Going to root soon, currently playing around if no problem, then only root.

Tried moving few apps to ext from int but failed

Rooted my phone but after factory reset become unrooted.
Using method as shared by Buya_92.
Anyway re-root & using link2sd method, my phone storage increased according to my allocation.
No more worries of storage full

Link2sd Tutorial

Yup, just factory reset will unroot.

Depends on your card & your requirement.
To be safe at least 4GB combine with internal, roughly about 4.7GB but will not be shown in settings > storage.
You can view the balance in link2sd storage info

After you installed link2sd, link it to the partition created (ext 2 / ext 4 / fat), then restart.
Open link2sd again, use multi-select in settings, then select all & click action, in action menu, select create link, just press OK.
It will move all selected apps to 2nd partition.
Go to settings & select autolink , just tick on all the options.
That's it, the next time you install any apps, it will automatically store in the 2nd partition.
You will notice that even though many apps are installed, the internal memory still remain as though no new apps are added.

I'm using EXT 2 but if you ask me any different, sorry I don't know

I'm using 24/7 on data at least 14HR on 3G, balance on wifi & I manage to squeeze up to 72HR with daily use of 1-2HR browsing 1/2HR calls & about 1HR gaming plus total 1HR on GPS (PPG), also some movies & music listening.
I even boast to most of my friend that I'm tired of waiting to charge my phone.
Been using for 1 week only charge this phone for 3rd time.

I think rooting & link2sd method should be pin-up in 1st post.

Anyway 2nd week of using this phone (rooted & link2sd), so far so good.
My only regret is transferring the ownership of the phone to my wife as I promised her.

Use back my old phones, Xperia pro & iPhone 5

Either you install the driver as shared by zerohunter or from this link
PDA Net
Download the program & install.
Then copy all the files (one click rooting) as shared by zerohunter into a folder & click on the run.bat file.

I purchased this phone only after I know it can be rooted.
Root this phone mainly to increase the internal memory (link2sd method).
After using 1 week, unrooted (factory reset).
Then re-root again, before transferring to my wife this phones, till today she is using it without knowing I have rooted for her.
Go ahead & root this phone, don't feel like it then just factory reset to default.
