What's up guys, I have a newbie question. I have searched everywhere for a definitive answer but what I find is conflicting.
Here is my situation.
I have Sprint Note 3, it was rooted on stock 4.3 rom. About 3 weeks ago I downloaded a mp3 organizer from the app store. I am an avid music lover and constantly download new music whenever something catches my eye or ear. I had exactly 2,249 songs on my N3, I ran the app and let it do its thing, once it finished my N3 rebooted and when it can back up I started the Native Player and it could not locate any music on my device. I checked a file explorer and sure enough my SD was wiped clean. All my music, photos, vids and docs GONE. And me like an idiot did not have it backed up. The phone even read insert SD. It totally f-ed up the SD. I uninstalled the app and everything pertaining to it from the device memory. I still have this SD in hopes that someone can retrieve the lost data on it.
I purchased a new 64g Samsung Class 10 SD and put it in, formatted it and everything was good. It still was not acting right. All the music I tried to put back on the SD kept getting erased soon after. So I odined a stock factory rom with no root hoping that an update to 4.4.2 would help in anyway to make the N3 work right. I soon found out about the write permissions issues in KK. I flashed the Kitkatkiller V4 (NC5) rom (thanks Josh Beach, great work) to get my phone nice after the new update and get the wifi hotspot. Now I want to add the write permissions to my platform.xml file but I get 2 different answers. 1 says to add <group gid="media_rw" /> to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and to WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE. The 2nd says to add the same to READ, WRITE & ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.
Can anyone help me find a straight forward solution. I tried the sdfix app(s) and they all say no action required, but I still have the same write issues. Everything I download has to go straight to the device memory and when I move the file(s) it erases soon after. Idk what I need to do to resolve my issues. Can some please help me out with the write permissions and possibly a solution to gdtting my lost data from the old SD, it would be greatly appreciated.
On another note.... XDA is the best. Everything you need to know for a growing community. Thanks!!!!

You might try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en . Or you might try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKiEVDg2rb8
I've tried the SDFix app already and it tells me "no action required and that the phone already has the permissions" but I still have the same problem. I will try the recovery SW whem I get home later tonight.
Thank you.
If any one has any more suggestions please keep them coming.

I ran into an issue similar to this. There may be another way to fix it however I ended up re flashing via odin to stock, in stock recovery wipe data factory reset. Then I rooted and flashed custom recovery. Then I reformatted xternal sd card in computer, put sd in phone while still on stock rom. Once booted up I used sdfix and all was well again.
Thats basically what I did after getting the new 64g SD and still didn't work.

A question or two
What file explorer are you using? Have you tried mounting the system as RW, if not then this HAS to be done first before editing platform.xml file. Also, I had this same issue, as I'm sure everyone else did, when I flashed/upgraded to KK 4.4.2 and I only had to make the below edit in red (I added the line):
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Of course you already know the platform.xml file is located at system/etc/permissions.
If all else fails, please try installing the Xposed framework then adding the module for this fix and see if that works.
I'm using Total Commander to edit the platform.xml file. I have not mounted as RW but I can still edit the file. Is that the only place I add the line to?

Have the ROM Bionix V 1.3.1 installed and it's a great rom but one issue. I flashed it on 2 phones but contacts force closes on one phone #1 every time I tried to either access it directly or indirectly (like when you long press a number to save a contact). Phone # 2 works great.
So, I deleted contacts.apk on phone #1 and tried to copy the apk from phone # 2 to #1 but it won't let me install. Any tips? I am using An outside dialer just to call now but I have some time now to try to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, czr

Try exporting contacts to memory card and import to new phone!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
That didn't work. Maybe I'm installing contacts.apk wrong. I've been long pressing the second phones contacts.apk on my SD card then long pressing to install. It says installing then application not installed.
Can someone post the vibrant cobtacts.Apk and give me pointers on install so my phone will take it?

You can't install system apps just by pressing on them. You have to use root explorer to push app in /system/app directory.

^^AGREED^^
Take the one from the ROM zip itself, or from the phone that it werks on whatever really. Good luck!
You need an app called Root Explorer as Alex mentioned. Then, mount it with root rights and RW privileges (its a checkbox at the top while using it) and copy the apk to the same place it is on the working phone. Then, restart your broken phone and it should be fixed.
If you have the force-closing again, something else is causing it, likely a setting conflicting somewhere. You may need to go ahead and reset some settings from Titanium Backup then.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Such a simple fix since I had a good working copy of the apk on the other phone. Got it to work!
So, I've been unable to find any threads on this so I don't know if this is a common problem or not. My phone is rooted but I'm not quite sure if I'm using a mod, if I am it's a clockwork mod or something, I honestly don't remember what I used to mod it cause it was months ago. Anyways, I'm having problems downloading certain applications from the Google Store. It downloads it then when it's about to install it gives me an Error saying, "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" and it only does this with certain apps, I'm able to download and install or update a lot of applications but it only does this to certain apps, I've tried turning my phone on and off, that does nothing, I would turn off my phone and take everything out but I'm not quite sure if that would work either.
I was wondering if there's a solution to this because I'm trying to download a new theme for my GO Launcher EX and it keeps telling me I cannot download it, it's done it to games that I've had before too, it's really weird.
Glad to know that none of you can help me.

If you want to avail this feature to move apps data to sd card you need to root the phone(Use kingo app for rooting) and install gl2sd app from playstore.
This app will copy the huge data of bigger games and few apps to sd card. That way you will be able to free up lots of space. You can then install many heavy data games on your phone and enjoy.
But yes you have to root the phone first. If you're afraid of warranty, then don't worry you can make the status back to official and get the warranty back. There a tool called triangle away to do that. So, if you want to have this feature then root. Go ahead and try if needed and enjoy. Cheers ! ! !:good:

First of all make your phone rooted (then only you can delete modify files) use odin to flah CWM recovery and install superSU with CWM, some apk need root access ( like lucky patcher, root explorer) then use root explorer and go to sdcard/andriod /data and delete only the files which are not working and then try to install them it will work.

Broken premium handling?
I have sent a bug report from the app via gmail, but I will try to be more verbose when describing the issue here, since I wrote it from a mobile phone. The issues concern premium version of this application (I could have easily write the binding script myself, but told myself what the heck, let's support the developer).
1. I have installed the free version from an account which I don't use for purchases on SG3 mini. So when I installed it through Google Play on the second device with the intention to go Premium later, it did install from this account anyway (and kept doing so), preventing me from buying the premium. This is the Play issue, but some apps let the user choose which account should be used for in-app billing. You may consider this.
2. When I paid for the premium from Xperia M, the payment succeeded and after 1-2 minutes the app became premium version. However, this did not happen on the SG3 mini, which keeps the "basic" version event after an reinstall and a hour after payment. When I try to buy the premium package ("Zakoupit premiovy balicek"), the account is the same and after clicking on Buy (Koupit) & Google Play, the Google Play gives me an error that I already own the entry (Chyba: Tuto polozku uz vlastnite) but pressing OK does not help, the premium features will not be activated and I get back to the "Buying" dialog.
Can you fix that?
EDIT: OK, one of the reviews mentions restarting the phone to get premium features in similar case. It helped, the app is now premium.
Foldermount stopped working
Today my z1 compact(kitkat) crashed and i had to use the off button near the sim slot. since then i cant mount any folders. I can still move data on sd and back but i cant mount anything. I tryed reinstalling, new folder pairs and reinstalling the sd fix. till there everything worked fine. Any Idea whats wrong?
Edit: im using 2.7 premium and the 4.4.4 Andoird with the .157 build
Can i mount the whole android/data directory as well as the whole android/obb directory onto my ext sd card, instead of individual app data or obb folders? Does it make any difference?
And another thing, what exactly do the green and white pins mean? If i leave a mounted directory's pin white, how is that bad for me?
Folder mount doesn't work anymore since lollipop update. App is shown as mounted, but app never works.. This is on my nvidia shields tablet wifi
Edit.. Got it to work.
paste data on external sd card
Why it isn't working when I paste data right in the external sd card and link folder with foldermount.
I can't paste the data on emmc (or internal sd) because I haven't enough space on it. When I touch the pin it colored green and I can see the data on the internal sd. But the game request for downloadin data from internet.
sdcard deleted and not fixed after renaming sdcard.backup
Hello sir,
I am using galaxy trend s7392.
I am usong stock rom only.
after opening the app it asked to patch system, i selected ok.
It replied patching failed. After reboot, sdcard was deleted.
As you mentioned in FAQ i deleted "sdcard" and renamed "sdcard.backup" to "sdcard".
But problem is not solved.
Pls respond to this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Do not see the android folders in foldermount
Hey all,
I'm really new to tablets and rooting. I have two Nextbook 7" that I just purchased for my kids to game on it comes with 4.4 kitkat on them. I used Kingo root to root them and made sure they got the SD fix so they could write to SD card. I did a ton of research into getting apps moved to the SD card to make room for more. I got foldermount and purchased the pro version. For whatever reason in storage/sdcard0 I don't see any sub folders. When using ES File Explorer I can see the android folder and it's sub folders of data and obb and the apps within them. In foldermount I don't see any of that. Spent quite a while trying to figure this out with no finds. Lots of internet searching didn't turn up anything for me either. I hear foldermount is the best so I'd like to get it working. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Has anyone found an easy fix for MIUI V5 (4.4.2) ?
I can mount a data folder but not an OBB folder.
Thanks a lot.
Hello.
I'm running Android 4.2.2 on an old ZTE Blade Q. I purchased the pro version of foldermount and the problem I keep running into is that I can't update my apps through play store - I get an insufficient space message each time I try to update an app.
I have most of my apps mounted on the external SD, all their pins are green and the internal SD storage status shows that 2.21 GB out of 1.3 GB is used.
What am I doing wrong here? I can't benefit from the app if I can't solve this. :/
FolderMount vs link2sd?
i have link2sd pro.. from what i have read FolderMount only allows me to move a small amount of files that link2sd supposedly cant.. i have never tried FolderMount but if it is better id be interested in learning more about it.. does it have automatic linking functions like link2sd does or is everything manual?
mount /data to sdcard0 or extsdcard
hey mate, super grateful for the folder mount! nice one..
been tinkering with mounting from /data/data to sdcard0 or extsdcard but to no avail. I am aware of the warning message when i choose /path, but is there any work around for this?
as of the reason why, i want to install this one game, but it install 1 gb data directly to the device memory, and because of my GT I9100 only has 2 gb partition for the device memory, and i don't want to lose any of my data, i don't know what to do. i even uninstalled every other app but still hasn't reach the requirement.
hope u can help! thanks!
seems like no one is answering questions here anymore? guess ill stay with link2sd.. all the automated functions would have to give it the edge in comparison.. tbh though i havent tried FolderMount but thats due to lack of questions being answered.. basing my opinion solely on experience with link2sd and what i have read about FolderMount
@BHoller, hope I got your question right.
I'm using FolderMount parallel to Link2SD. It works fine. You have to Setup, which folder has to be mounted to which other place on your device (e.g. "Whatsapp/Media" to external SD). In my case I had to create a new folder on my ext SD with a separate File explorer, because FolderMount didn't do it.
Once mounted, FolderMount puts automatically the files to ext SD and does it also automatically after every restart.

I made the jump to Kit Kat and was hoping to clear up the issue with the storage restrictions with something like this. However after reading through the. Apps thread, I had some more questions.
So the MOD on the app thread noted, in fact on the last post I read today (December 19),to come here for questions when he/she was responding to another users post.
Well I'm here and I see a lot of questions from all the posts above........ but the answers just seem to have vanished! I'm certain they are here because the developer specifically noted that one of the strong points for this app is that he wouldn't abandon us and to read over the question and answer section because it would probably answer any questions that we may have, before asking him anything.
Ohhh wait maybe he his answers are just typed in a color font that it is just blending in with the background of all the post here......... right?
I guess I will have to go search for an app that displays this "invisible" text and come back.
Thanks for the redirect MOD!

Hi, is there any fix for CM13 Marshmallow for External SD writing of apps such as ADM for example not being able to save under any directory on External SD? Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
I have the same issue. Old methods don't work anymore. I tried sdcardfix from market as well as manually editing the permissions platform.xml . The permissions must have changed under Android 6.0. There is no entry for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE anymore. There is a similar entry with WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE. I tried to insert WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: no luck. I tried to edit WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE: no luck. It has no effect on Titanium backup being not able to write to external sd.
The strange thing is, that ES file explorer has no problems writing to any folder.
I have exactly the same problem. Es FileExplorer has permission to write on external sd card. But other Apps not. With PowerAMP i can listen to mp3s on exernal SD, but when i want to to edit id3tags, it says "no permission to write". And my Camera App cant save photos on external SD Card.
And MyPhoneExplorer has the same problem.
Galaxy S3, CM13
Same Problem here: Navigon cannot download any maps to SD Card and replies enter SD Card, every app which wants to use the external sd Card just uses the intern Memory, others where you cannot Change Location just hang up... sad...
Sadly same problem for me. I'm a bit surprised, though, that some people claim to not have this problem even tough it looks like a permission issue which should be the same for anyone.
External SD card is read only for me for most Apps.
CM File Manager is able to write on it with Root access.
For Navigon to install maps you have to create a folder on internal card named Navigon.
After maps installation you can move that folder to the external card.
Move it back to internal for any additional map.
That's the only way to get it working for Navigon.
But for many other Apps I'm just as lost as you.
I guess we have to wait for Apps to be updated and working with CM 13
I'm using different Custom ROM with Marshmallow 6.0.1,. and I have the same problem, ES File explorer writes on my external microsd, Snap Camera same also to external sdcard, but my backup app App Backup & Restore can't backup to microsd even if I did that in Kitkat and Lollipop.
I did also that, like in Kitkat
Edit the file at:
system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
to add <group gid="media_rw" /> in the following location like so:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

... but no success
Simply send the developing team of apps an mail to update their apps to make it compatible with Android 6
I got some responses that many knows about the problem and working on it.
Small teams or developers needs a little more time, so be patient.
Or search for an alternative app that will work with Android 6
It's not a problem from the developer, I think it is a problem with MarshMallow 6... Even if I tried to delete photos stored on external sdcard, the stock Gallery app didn't delete them... The only app which deteled them was ES File Explorer

There is no work around. It is hardcoded to the os. Xposed mods might be able to do something about it but xposed is dodgy.

I don't mind using xposed to fix it, because It's a very annoying bug, at least, there could be a module to force apps to use the CM file manager to grant permissions to write on the sd (the method used by apps like ES file explorer, cinema FV5 camera, etc...)
ES-Explorer has been mentioned several times here as 'working', but try to edit&save a file on external sdcard...
Wrote it to the autors yet, but no reaction so far.

I have found an app called "apps2sd" by vicky 'something or other, cant remember'. It has a light blue icon. It does folder mounting and works ok for me so far. Root is required.
The proper foldermount app no longer works on 6.0. It might not do exactly what you want but it should help a lot.

Yes !! thank you very much gazzacbr !! :good:
Finally, it works !
Thanks again for this tip with Titanium Backup : I can now save and write on the SD card again.
I never found that setting in Titanium Backup before... nice find !
I change the directory to TB, but when you create a backup task is aborted ...

Just convert/install TB as a system app and you can backup to external SD.
How about to other apps? What is the solution?
