You can't move stuff yet. Now you need to create a 2nd ext4 partition on your sdcard for link2sd. Don't install link2sd yet. If you did, uninstall it. If you have anything important on your sdcard you want to back it up to your computer, because creating the partition will wipe your card. I will get the instructions. You can use your PC to do it if you have a card reader to put it in PC. If not, you can use twrp to create it. Which method do you prefer? In the meantime you should save anything you don't want to lose from your SD over to your computer.

OK after you backup all your import stuff to your computer, seriously this will wipe your card so backup stuff you dont want to lose. follow these instructions. Pick the size you want for 2nd partition because this space will now be for apps only, and only link2sd will be able to access it. I used 2gb, some ppl use 4gb. Its up to you. 2 should be more than enough.

using twrp to create a 2nd ext4 partition on your SD card
First backup your SD card to your computer, this will wipe it.

[1]Place your sdcard in your phone

[2]Boot into recovery (these instruction use TWRP)

[3]Select Advanced, then select Partition SD Card

[4]Set the size you want for your storage space in kb (1024mb = 1gb), at least 2gb

[5]Choose EXT4

[6]Don't worry if it shows an error TWRP can't mount the 2nd partition so it thinks it errored

Now reboot your phone and get link2sd. Open it and let it create mount scripts. When it asks what your 2nd partition is, choose ext4.

Now you can begin LINKING apps. Remember choose link apps to sd, not move apps to SD. Linking them will create a symlink and move them for you.
ONLY LINK USER APPS
ONLY LINK USER APPS
NEVER LINK SYSTEM APPS.
When you link an app make sure to check all boxes (you'll see)
You can also set it to auto link apps upon installation!
Enjoy :cool:

Thanks bub, so far when linking it says I still have the same amount of free space as I did before

Make sure you check all the boxes for each app. Do all of your existing apps one at a time. You can check ones that you already linked to see if you linked all the files. On the filter list option, select linked apps, to see you list of linked apps to make sure they are successfully linking.

What size did you partition? After I linked all my user apps I had over 1gb free space on internal. I linked about 90% of my user apps.
As for Roms, not really. Depends on basband. If your last 3 numbers are nd4 (most recent update), there is a custom over clocked kernel by insanelycool. If your on mg5, there is conquest ROM by moonknightus, but its in another forum ,vmroms,. He has conquest here too, but its for the s3 so don't flash that.
If you want cool mods, get xposed. You can install modules to get any feature found in custom Roms.

What all is this kernel going to change for me, and also will I have to redo my link2sd? Just wanna make sure that I not going to mess anything up.

The kernel adds the ability to over clock your processor, and undervolt your battery. Its for performance. If you don't have basic knowledge about that kind of thing I wouldn't recommend installing it.

I do have a lil knowledge about it but not extensive. I just play alot of games lol.
The processor in the victory is clocked at 1.2 GHz (dual core) his kernel allows you to uncap it to 1.5 GHz and further allows you to over clock it to like 2.1 GHz. 1.7 GHz is as high as you should go with this phone though. Any higher and you start to over heat or get random reboots, and in some cases boot loops. If you do flash it, you need an app like kernel tuner or similar to set CPU speed. Also backup "boot" in twrp first. And if you have problems just restore that boot backup in twrp and it will put back your stock kernel. Boot image is kernel.
