I've noticed that there is a flashable zip for other devices (gs5, tegra note 7...) that allows access to the sd card through 3rd party apps (ex: astro file manager) offering a way around the new "sandboxing" in kitkat. Does anyone know of one that exists or is coming?
There is a SD card fix zip around here somewhere..it allows you to read/write to the card if that's what you meant..

In Google play, search for JRummy SD KitKat Fixer....
To really fix the problem, you need root and a kernel with write protection eliminated. Then you can use sd fix app to enable it

hey yall just wanting someone to explain in simple terms how to move my apps from internal storage to SD card. like 85% of my internal space is taken up by apps. i know technically its not supposed to affect performance but i think it is in a secondary way. can someone please explain how to transfer apps and if it can be done with a file explorer app or if it has to be done in PC?
TIA
Go for Link2SD! One and only solution!

In settings applications manage applications click on each one. If the move to USB button is not greyed out hit it.

Just make sure you don't use a widget with an app you want to move. It won't work if the apps on the sd card.

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 1 and a serious problem along with it. My app automatically ported from my phone memory to sd card. While porting sometimes it becomes semi transparent and i dont understmd why does that happen. Its a rooted phone.

You are using some app and have configured it to sdcard .
Check which app you have installed that has that ability

Maybe unintentionally. Tom toolbox or some other app that has the ability to do so.

I m pretty sure i dont have any of them. Does rooting grants that permission.
Sent from my GT-N7000
You need root and the app have asked for root access but the actual selection has been done by hand.
Can you list your root apps?

What is root apps? How can i do that?
Sent from my GT-N7000
Apps that need root to work.
Such apps are titanium backup
Triangle away. Rom manager. Rom toolbox.
Csc changer.
Mobile Odin
Seeder.

App like Addsfree requires root permission but dont think so that may affect this problem.

Even app keeps disappearing from my home screen. God!

The app icons look like that for apps that are on the SD Card and the SD card is removed or unmounted. Apps that store themselves in /.asec (I think, whichever hidden folder is the one that is used for secure apps) also show that icon when the SD card is removed.

How you expect support For Note1 on Note2 forum?
Anyway, some application are by default moves to Sd card in Note1. some ICS have added newer launcher that have this bug(if i remember correctly LR6/Q or near to it). application which are on Sd card, becomes semitransparent(still usable) and if you keep short cut of this application to a folder on desktop, it gets erase short cut after rebooting.
Just move back your application to Phone memory and it should work.
you may find it in setting - application manager - app on Sd card (or something, i left using ICS and Note1, 4 month back)
and you will find option to move to phone

As i said move application to phone and it will be fine. Or if you want to keep that on SD card only then update to latest ROM, which is bug free.
Thankx man will try the same.

I know this is not a new issue but I thought with the new android 4.3 update and the ability to move apps to our sd card it would have been a thing of the pass.
I'm on Jovi's 4.3 update and I am not able to download all the apps I want to, ( apps that I had on my s3 no problem) and I am also not able to update a few apps in my play store.
Am I missing something here, is there something I'm not doing correctly?

Anyone tried shifting files from phone memory to memory card? (from your phone) It wouldn't happen. Why is that?

Root!? just to copy and paste files from our phone itself? That's really stupid don't you think?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
It's the way Android is going. There are plenty of articles around explaining why this is happening. Similarly, root is being made more difficult for developers to implement in the next version of Android.
I think it's a pain, but there's no point in getting upset. It's a bit like having a moan because winter comes around once every year.
I had the same problem even with root using root explorer. Had to use ESexplorer and it worked fine.
I believe you can move many files to SD without root if you use settings.
Settings, Storage, Phone Storage, make more space, then select the folders/files and move to sd card.
Did that. Now I'm having problems shifting things stuff with in my memory card. Through es file explorer.

Iam a owner of a Samsung Note 4 ... Iam new born here... and my problem its I don't want to root ( on this time ) the cell....so I need to know if exist any way to : read and write a External SdCard.. because I cant do this...
please any ??
I don't understand why you can't. Lollipop allows it (you have to choose sd card directory for the app in question), at least on an app-by-app basis.

Well for example the app called: e-sword.. that cant access or run if the modules its on a external SdCard..so I need to put all the modules in internal memory..
Atach my system and the nag screen of e-sword
But they are another apps like "Pixlr" its a photo editors and cant save in the ExtSdCard... I came from S4 and on that phone dont have any problems
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
Oy. Sorry, I haven't even explored this dilemma, since I hadn't encountered it with any of my apps (yet). I tested out Pixlr, and you're right, it won't saved to the sd card (from the app). Not sure why. But I could still move the pictures with ES File Explorer or the built-in My Files. As for e-sword I can't find it in the English Play Store. So I couldn't test it out. Wish I could be of some help, but it'll take one of the smarter guys to field this question.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
This feature is available on lollipop but the app developer needs to implement it, most are using the old method of read/write which only works on 4.3 or earlier, if you can use an alternative until the app gets updated
