Hi,
I've just found in another forum: you have to flash this:

Kiiiiinda want someone else to try it first...

Don't install that fix listed on page 1, its for the S4.
I can write stuff to the SD using file explorers after rooting but I want to backup my apps to the SD using Titanium backup but I haven't found a way to do it.
SDfix doesn't work, when I tried to change the platform.xml file in the permissions folder as suggest here
http://winaero.com/blog/unlock-external-sd-card-writing-for-all-apps-in-android-4-4-kitkat/
it wouldn't let me save the damn file! Do I need to S-off my device to be able to save it. Has anyone else got any suggestions to get TB backing up to the SD card?

I am using folder mount on M8 available in the play store even mounted whole internal sd to ext sd

I believe you need root, and a kernel which allows write access to the system. Then you can use sdfix or edit the platform.xml file manually

Thanks, any suggestions on a suitable kernel?

HTC M8
SDFix on Google Play solves the KitKat external SD issue for HTC M8 provided that the phone is ROOTED and S-OFF. Beware of the latter condition , it caused me quite a headache.

For write permissions you dont need to be s-off this can be done with root ans s-on.Grant root access to es and this should fix kk sd card issues for you.Also you can flash @flar2 elementalx kernel.This kernel already disables kk read/write issues.

Move apps to SD
You can easily move your games to SD with "ES File Explorer"
but you need enable root acess to this application, so you can move all kind of data stored on your phone.
For non rooted phones, there are some applications that cant be moved to SD card
So the first step is obtain the root acess to your phone

Provided u got class 6 or above microSD.
If not, swapping will cause slow boot up of apps.
I think It will better if you can afford class 10 to swap between external and internal storage..

Could be kernel related and/or format related. Works fine with flars kernel and any sense rom with my exFAT-formatted SDcard, does not work so with GPE and flars GPE kernel on this SDcard.
Usually after installation FolderMount will do a check on your SDcard and offer you to reboot your device if changes are necessary. After reboot it should be good to go.
Else you should read here: Mounts2SD

At the beginning you select what folders you want moving to sdcard, you.can use the built in app analyser which shows what folders take the most space, also when you buy premium you can mount almost anything, I even mounted the full internal sdcard to the external but it's not recommended
No it does not format sdcard, the app also fixes android permission for 3rd party apps to write to external sd

Using flar2s kernel as well on AR HD 5.0. Formatted my sd card too and tried again still no go. Currently having a read of the linked thread you gave me. Additional info, I'm S ON and using a 64gb card.

Just to let you know using folder mount I've mounted my whole internal sdcard to my 64gb exfat uhs class 10 microsd card and its working flawlessly I copied a file to my internal sdcard and it actually saves it to the external card. So to some up, apps get installed on internal memory and all data that usually goes in the internal sdcard is actually moved to the external storage

How did you get it to mount the whole internal sd? I've been trying to get the whole internal mounted, and it just keeps saying the selected folder is the whole folder, please select sub directories and won't let me continue. Or did you do it for each separate sub directory.

What do you mean, trouble reading or writing to the sdcard? Try formatting the card on the phone itself, that usualy works.
What are you trying to do with the card? it might be that you just are not aware with how Android Kitkat treats the sd card slot?

Probably......only File Manager can write or delete files on my sd card, Xplore or a different Manager can't, is it normal in KitKat?

Apps can only write and edit files that they themselves created on the SD card which is why third party apps are not working. It is to stop rouge apps deleting / creating / modifying files that they shouldn't be.

With files you mean system files or files created by you? You should be able to delete or move files with an alternative file explorer or you might try gaining root (towel root is easiest) to gain admin rights.
If you root your phone, you can remove the limitations that were added in KitKat.
Many 'newbie experts' who say that an 8 or 16GB phone is fine as you can move apps etc. to an SD card are finding out the hard way that KitKat restrictions prevent using the card the same way as it used to be in older Android versions unless the device is rooted.

I have been having the random removals of the sdcard. I have a 64gb ultra I card and it worked perfectly in the samsung i had before this. I have taken everything off it and reformatted with eh LG G3 and it still randomly removes the card. I have purchased another 64gb card and does the same thing.
Any ideas of a fix?
No rooted (yet) but i can if it will fix the issue.

Someone else had the same problem and they did an equipment swap and the new G3 didn't have the problem.
So it might be the SD card slot itself or its interface and a exchange might be neccessary.

Titanium Backup/ SD card issue.

I am trying to use titanium backup on my rooted LG G3. I am specifically trying to point to where to save the back up on my sd card. The problem is titanium backup is telling me the folder I created it's not writeable.

Just wondering why there are so many sdcard issues. I just put a Samsung 64Gb card in, used Titanium to back up to the sdcard and have made two nandroids to the sdcard without using the fix.
