The storage location used to be /storage/emulated/0/. Well it is now /storage/sdcard0/. Also, the CM File Manager throws an error when applying root permissions, saying "Folder not found," however ES works just fine.
Update: While sdcard0 was added, emulated/0 still exists. The issue was most file explorers I used are having issues on 4.3. CM File Manager crashes, and ASTRO and ES don't show emulated/0 or /data. Root Browser is the first one I found that worked. Anyone else having these issues?

No, I use ROM toolbox and the file system is the same. Sdcard0 is on 4.2.2 also.
System path didn't change for me from 4.2.2 to 4.3
Well I'm a dumbass, because it turns out that I never gave ES root access. :banghead: CM File Manager is still wonky for me though, and I never remembered sdcard0 being on 4.2.2.....

Hy.
I want to paste files to system folder from sd card via root explorer (not old version), but it says that i cant because the file system is read-only.I know ,i had to press the button to mount the folder to r/w, but i havent got tis button anywhere.I repeat: im not using old version of root explorer (i tried 2.5.1 and 2.9.3 but the same problem). My phone is xperia x8 (android v 2.1.1).Please help.Sorry for my english, its not my native language
I use File Expert but I had the same problem. I don't know whether this solution is available or not, but it's worth a shot right?
You should first go to settings ---> File explorer settings ---> 'tick' Root Explorer
Then the mount option should appear. Try and see
using file export and I can't paste to system folder.

I'm trying to paste a file to the system folder, I have root expert ticked and mounted the folder. But it keeps saying "operation failed", please help.
In File Expert you should mount system as read-write manualy no matter that root explorer option is ticked on.

Silly question but are you rooted? That's the main thing that springs to mind here that and are you sure you've granted root explorer su permissions?

If you're downloading through the browser, I believe they go to /sdcard/download

The root/install apps are in system/apps - I'm still looking for the others

Other browsers will default to different locations. Miren, for example, will download to its sdcard folder.
Swyped from my B&N Nook Tablet.
I am having the same problem. I sideloaded the Amazon app, but it only opens if I go to the downloaded APK and reinstall it. It says I am replacing an installed app, i Okay, and it works just fine, until I close it. Search reveals nothing.
any thoughts?
Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the Amazon app?
Also, if you have access to a rooted device that has the app working correctly, use root explorer to grab the apk from data/app and put it into the same directory on your new device.
I have also had success just installing that apk. I have always used 'package installer'... never 'app installer'.
Hi,
I have Galaxy s3 and when i try to attach any file from external SD card, it shows attached but when i send the mail, the attachment never go.
But when the location of file is internal phone memory, the attachment goes fine.
Also when i go to gamil app and click on attachment, it only takes me to my Gallery folder. and if you have any external file managers it shows that file manager as option (like Astro)
But technically, it also should show androids default file manager along with Gallery folder where you can be able to attach any file type.
Seniors kindly help with your expert opinion.
And extreame apologies if it is duped thread.
Kind Regards,
Anoop

Never had any issue to attached any files on external memory with gmail. I use file expert as my file manager.

Hi.
Thanks for your revert. I also tried using file expert but facing same issue.
Is u r gmail app updated one?
Really want to get rid of this issue.
Awaiting comments
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Opps... Sorry. Somehow latest update on file expert broke the function. Try ES File Explorer instead.
Edit: Using ES File Explorer, you need to enable the "up to root" in the setting. Then only you can scroll to mnt/ext sdcard.

How do I install an apk from the sd card?
I have a rooted Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.1. I have copied GameGuardian_6.0.0.apk onto my sd card. I have downloaded and installed appInstaller but it doesn't see the file. It does see Amazon App Installer. I have checked that I can open the pictures on the SD card in the Gallery. When I poke at my SD card, it asks if I want to unmount it (I say no). I have also tried the method klacenas has posted about using the phones internet browser to load the file. No joy. I get the error "Connection problem".
Can you help me?
go to settings, security and tick the unknown sources box. then using a file explorer go to where you have the apk file and click it, should install then
okay
Yes, I do already have "Unknown Sources" checked.
Can you recommend a file explorer?

Es file explorer/root explorer or the free one its called explorer by speed software
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I have rooted my android phone (an MTK6577 with Android 4.1.1)
I downloaded ES File Explorer and in the settings turned on rot explorer.
I have a file on the SD card which I need to copy to the 'system/etc' directory - BUT - when I try to 'paste' it I get the error 'Permission denied'.
What else do I need to do that I am missing to allow the paste operation.
Any advice/comments appreciated.
Thanks
Change to read/write from read only
Also, I highly recommend root explorer found on Google play, by far the best root file explorer for android (having tried many)

Thank you.
Used Root Explorer (which I also found better) and all is sorted.
