Hello Nairalander.

I recently purchased an Android smart phone similar in appearance to a HTC. It's a white BML One Mini version 4.2.2. Subsequently, I discovered that this phone has a low phone memory which ofcourse poses a problem to me.

I would like to know from you, the steps to "switching" the primary storage from the phone memory to my memory card which has enough space on it already. I believe this process is called "rooting". There are apps I'd love to install, especially WhatsApp, but the phone memory is insufficient.

I will be grateful to you if you can help me achieve this goal with your expertise. If you prefer, you can mail me your thoughts:- djurry18@gmail.com.

Thanks a million!

I have a laptop with me. I learnt it is required to engage in rooting.

have you tried using framaroot?

Try and download the Root genius app on your phone for rooting or if that doesnt work, u download the PC version of Root genius application (google it). Mind u, it needs Internet connectivity to work. Know that rooting will not automatically increase your internal memory. After rooting u need to download another app the Roehsoft RAM expander which u can get from the link below, just follow the instructions from the site:

Thanks for your timely reply brother. Presently, I'm having issues with the Root genius app. It can't read the drivers in my phone.

There are phone categories like Acer, Gionee, Huawei, Sony Xperia etc. Do you know under what category my android, BML One Mini, falls in? Below is a picture of the phone.

Your BML one mini is an mtk (Mediatek) phone just like Gionee, tecno, infinix, innjoo and the likes so shouldnt be difficult for u to root and change imei;though apps may not work for u, giving u the only option of rooting via a PC and a PC rooting application. Sony Xperia and Samsung galaxy are majorly Qualcomm devices. I want to believe you haven't manually installed the mtk drivers on your computer. Follow the steps I'm gonna outline below first and try rooting again using any of these PC rooting applications : Root genius, Kingo Root, KingRoot, Vroot and Eroot. Cheers.
This guide will explain an easy method of installing
Mediatek / MTK drivers for your phone on a PC.
Requirements

(Settings > Developer options > Tick USB debugging)
* Connect the working phone to PC with USB debugging
enabled
