ReplyDeletewhat should we do after rooting my Samsung galaxy y duos..
ReplyDeleteI want to download everything in sd card instead of internal memory...
after rooting the device you can install Mounts2SD app from play store. It will help you swap internal memory to SD memory then you will have so much of space to store and download everything.
