Write access to SD Card ? - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running the latest OTA (2.1.3-X) with blu_spark r53 that I flashed by eng.stk's r5 TWRP, and I don't think write access is available to the SD card, also Storage menu in settings doesn't allow to set SD as default for full system, can anyone help me with this ?

I had to go through fx to the files app in order to enable it.

FX ? What's that ? I can't find that on my Files app.

I think he is talking about FX File Manager.

I'm using XInternal SD currently, its a workaround, but would still prefer native support for write access.

Well, you'll be using kind of "work around" until Google gives native support for Android OS again. It looks like it's not going to happen, as many device manufacturers even stopped allowing SDCard in devices'.

Just use the same module along with a root file manager like FX or ES

---

I had to modify the platform.xml to allow write access. There exists an xposed module (handle external storage) for that or an app in the play store (SDFix app).

External sdcard permissions is derped in OOS since the beginning, most non root apps can't write to it.
My previous Moto G 2015 was 5.1 and external sdcard worked flawlessly, never had issues writing to it.
That change in the framework probably will fix it.
OOS also doesn't have a safe unmount option to OTG USB, there's still lot's of stuff to OP team to fix up.
They fix 1 one thing at a time with OTAs, let's wait some 10 more and all will be good lol

Yeah, this device has great potential, hope the OP devs look into users concerns. Thanks everyone for replying !

Worked like a charm!
I was trying with FX Explorer but Xinternal module worked much better.
Thanks dude!

Following this and wondered how you manage to use XInternal SD without Xposed? I came from Sony Z and loved the Xposed module but as far as I´m aware Xposed is not available for the OPX? Please tell me I´m wrong?

I do have Xposed installed ! You can install it easily too,
1. Download the Xposed SDK 22 zip
2. Flash it by custom recovery and Wipe Dalvik before reboot
3. Install the Xposed Installer apk
Easy as pie
And this module is really the only workaround. So yeah [emoji14]
