[Q] Zinio?

Is anyone using Zinio with their A100? If so, how do you manage your memory? I need to free up some memory or move it to the SD card but do not know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

You might want to take a look at the SD mount swap by crossix. It mounts your SD card as internal, so if you have a 32gb card you get 32gb internal storage. Well after formatting and android taking space its like 29gb but you get my point. Here's a screenshot of it running on mine, note internal storage.

Yeah it seems to be tricky for some people to get going. I'll assume you use an Acer based ICS and not CM9 like I used for my screenshot, but download the zip, extract the install-recovery.sh file, paste it into /system/etc so it looks like /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then set permissions, uncheck every box, save. Re open permissions and set it to
XXX
XXX
XXO
Save.
Reboot, wait a minute. Like seriously a minute, not a few seconds. Then check storage. Depending what file manager you use you will have to mount system as writable, in root explorer its a R/W button up top, in ES file manager its in settings, check root explorer, allow root, mount system as writable check box. Others may be different but I've uses those two and it works.
If you use CM9 its different, but I can walk you through that method as well.

You could manually move the files from /sdcard/com.zinio.mobile.android.reader to /mnt/external_sd, but when you try to access the magazine again from Zinio it will redownload the files to the original location. If you do not have an available internet connection, then the pages will display as all black. There is not a single file that you can select to open the magazine in Zinio, the magazine is downloaded as seperate apdfs, jpgs, and html files.

Thanks, I tried it again, and I still cannot get it to work, maybe I'm an idiot...

I've run it on two cm9 releases every flex reaper and taboonay, always works doing as I mentioned. I assume your /system is rw if you put it into /system/etc. Other option is script manager to run it on boot, that's how I use it in cm9.

wierd folder chain in internal SD

so for a while ive had these /0/ folders cropping up each time i install a new rom. What will essentually happen is a new /0/ folder will pop up with all the normal android folders in it but then another one will apear after a new rom is installed. When i connect to a computer i cant ussually see all the /0/ folders. Recently i formated my SD card through CWM but it still is making new /0/ folders. Its really annoying, anyone have a possible fix?

I have the same problem very annoying. Computer can't read them as you say. Also I can't use those scripts that auto flash your ROM or mod since recovery cant find anything since it don't read that 0 folder

Sounds like the 0 folder bug. Make sure you are the most up to date recovery, if you keep getting them just move all of your important info to the first 0 and delete the others inside of it.

I am running the current TWRP and I don't get it anymore. I am sure the CWM would have this fixed by now also though.

[Q] Invalid path of SD card

Im running Quantum V3, 4.4.1 KitKat on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. Last night I played around with phone, unmounted SD card cuz I needed to check my battery drainage. After I remounted it, ESfile explorer says that sdcard1 has "Invalid path". Even tho in settings > storage, it shows that there is sd card and how much space there's left on it...
I did a clean flash of the ROM before if that matters. I don't wanna reflash it and arrange all the apps all over again...
Also when I check the sd card through the app folders, aka in storage/sdcard1, it shows files and everything. What could be the issue that I cant get it to work?

Probably one of the bugs with the latest update by PwnCakes. Maybe you didn't unmount properly, or try formatting the sd card and plug it in again?

I have the same exact thing.

Sigh, at least I'm not alone xD
And I didn't try formatting, got 27 gig stuff on my SD card and unfortunately no space on HDD to copy all the stuff :/
Shame I ain't got enough posts to reply in PwnCakes thread...

I think it might actually be a bug within the rom itself OR ES file explorer. I had this bug since I think a few releases ago

I have the exact same problem. Under "device", i have two copies of extSDcard. I also get the "invalid path" when i tap on sdcard1. I guess i'll wait for a fix, as i don't want to uninstall ES File Explorer, and reinstall, just to lose everything.

Temporary ES File Explorer Workaround for SD Card and Ext SD Card
Sorry it took so long. Just got done finals and had to get the bus. Below is the settings that you guys can use to make it almost as if nothing was wrong with ES.
Set your directory settings for Home to the External SD Card
Change the default window settings to the following: Sdcard, Home, whatever else you want loaded AFTER these
This will make it so that the first loaded 'window' of ES is the device's internal memory. Then it will load the external SD card as the second 'window'. As long as you check it in the proper order, it will load just fine.

Followed directions, and i get LAN with a blank page, then i still have to tap on the top of the app, and go into the directory to find sd card, and ext sd card(which used to be sd card1. What would happen if i wiped data on ES File Explorer, deleted the app, and then reinstalled it? Thanks for any help.

I'll be honest with you. I check play d store almost daily to see if there is anything new with ES. I don't know. It might be a problem with the selinux transition from 4.3 to 4.4. It could be a million things but I think its just some back end code for the file system. :/

@grunt0300 if you really want, I can take a look into the permission.xml. however, no way I am making the commits to my device at the moment. All I know (without looking up the exact wording) is that in permissions.xml is a line for read external storage and that line is set to media/mnt/sdcard instead of storage/sdcard1.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 3 7" Swap ExternalSDCard 2 Internal

Title basically says it. I bought my wife a galaxy tab 2 about a year ago and used the guide from the link below to swap the internal memory with the sd card memory. I bought myself the galaxy tab 3 7" and have been looking for a tut to do the same thing. I haven't found anything that seems to work though. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

The script is pointing to the wrong location for SD card Dev/block/vold/179:25. If you are familiar with Odin and comfortable with the possibility of bricking or rendering your tablet unbootable, try editing that to 179:17 and running the script. I don't guarantee that will work, but that is the address of my ext SD running cm11 on a sm-t310.
Yours may be different on a 210. Run mount from terminal and hunt for the 179:XX for sdcard1 and verify before trying though.

Just a couple more questions if you don't mind:
Mine is a galaxy tab 3 sm-T210/sm-t21or. Does that change anything?
As long as I have a backup in twrp, i can always restore (in case something is royally screwed up), right?

I would test it and see if it works, then if it does, have it set to run at boot, but a backup never hurts. I just backed mine up before testing blackhawk kernel, which worked well on the kids tab3.

Run the command "mount" without quotes in terminal . Look for your sd card
And which device address it's using. Verify that 170:17 is your device node.

So I mounted ran "mount" in terminal emulator and it refers to anything on my external sd card as 179:73. (@zibrah3ed sorry I didn't catch that in your first post)
So I guess that's the number I need.
Thanks for your help guys.

I did it and it worked perfectly. Having one gta game on my phone no longer prevents me from installing other apk's. Thanks for all your help. I'm sure this will be useful to a lot of people with 8gb of internal memory.

I was wondering if you got it working. I noticed there is not much information about these tabs, compared to the tab 2, which is the last gtab I had. I bought my sons kids tab assuming it would have similar support. All that was really important was root/recovery and some sort of memory swap, as I loaded it with many of the games I have on my 32gb tab. I took back a nabi because sometimes the memory swap I was using wouldn't stick on reboot, and getting it going again would be to much for my 4 year old. Anyways, glad you got it going.

First of all you need to be rooted. Then you need to grant es file explorer superuser permission when it asks. then you go into /data folder. You should see a lot of files/folders in there. If you can't you probably aren't using es file explorer as a rooted user. Then you long select the script and select properties. then change permissions by checking read, write, execute (all 3 should be checked) under the owner option. Then so to smanager and continue the tut

SM-T805 just won't let edit files on SD

Just purchased my galaxy tab s. When I found out how it behaves with external memory rooted it at once, did the thing for read/write permissions, disabled this weird safety feature and... It does not alow editing files to any program which causes a big problem when I try to use "iGO" navigator for example which keeps its files on SD, or use some office program to edit any content on SD... It does alow creating and deleting files though.
Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!

I guess it's a kitkat problem. I heard in lollipop google returned to full read write access to SD cards.

Or try using a custom kernel

I only found topics about sd r/w problems where they say that I need to root and run some code (or edit some file manually) to fix permissions. Well I did it... But I couldn't find anyone talking about editing... I can get around that by saving an edited file in diferent name, deleting the original and renaming it back to original... But programs I try to use does not do tricks like that :silly:

Well I have always ran skyhigh kernel for my sd card. Even if rooted with the sd fix my sd card still worked fine(on stock rom). Perhaps it could be the file manager your using? Well i also seen the r/w fix by editing a file but that was months ago and I forget how to do it. Sometimes sd fix app would say its fixed, but it wasnt. So using another app from the playstore could fix it? Hope this helps

The file seems to be edited properly but none of programs are able to edit files. Biggest problem at the moment that iGO won't save its configuration and shut down when a route is entered. I assume it is because of unability to edit files in sd also
