Do you use Superuser or SuperSU. I recognized a lot of failures of folderMount with Superuser, since i flashed SuperSU, everything's fine.

Hi,
i've bought SuperSU (Chainfire).

For me, I was able to move the whole 2.3 gb map file to ext sd card by just deleting the TomTom map files located in my internal sd and let TomTom re-download the map to my external SD. As for the TomTom application itself, I went to App manager of HTC and tap on TomTom, it has an option to move to SD. So around 70 mb of the app data gets move to SD. I hope I've answered your questions.
As for your past favorites saved address, the only way I can retain all my favourites is by using Titanium Backup to restore it.

Security updates on 4.4 rooted

sir as u have rooted ur phone please do me a favour please make a debrick file and uplad it if u dont mind as i hardbricked my phone after 4.4 update thanks in advance

OK so I applied the update and root is fine so we are good there.... [saqib] I'm not entirely sure how to create a debrick image

In the how to debrick thread I posted a recovery flashable script you can use. Just flash in recovery and itll do the rest. Once done just upload the debrick.img it created on your sdcard.
If you cant find the script, let me know. Might be several pages back in the thread.

How were you notified of the security update? I'm on TMS3KK-1.1-KOT49H.1747UCUFNE4. It's a TW rooted ROM

Is the script for stock recoveries?

And @OKAstro it was in my status bar....you can also go sys. Settings>more>security>security updates

After updating SuperSU, it gave me options to disable KNOX, which disabled the annoying blocking of apps(I believe it did).
2.I installed busybox from the Play Store. I also installed Android Terminal Emulator from the Play Store.
3. I opened Android Terminal Emulator and entered these two lines, entering between them After entering the first, I granted root access, then ran the second line.
su
busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/debrick.img bs=1M count=128
4. After those two lines were ran, the debrick.img file was on the root of either the external or internal sdcard. I copied that file to my desktop, and inserted my sd card into my computer(Using the MicroSD to SD Adapter).
5.Finally, I used Win32DiskImager to write the files to the Micro SDcard. After that, I pulled my battery and inserted the Micro SDCard into my phone and it was able to boot into recovery and download mode.

No folders "writable" according to titanium backup

I just gained s-off after rooting, have gigs of space everywhere, super user this, super su that, busy box(why all these apps anyway?)... All other apps can write wherever, now that I'm rooted. Anywhere is settings it looks for folders to save backups says folder isn't writable. I have no custom rom yet as I've not backed anything up. Googled this but apparently I'm the only person in the world with this doozy. Any ideas?

Navigate to /system/etc/permissions
Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Add this <group gid="media_rw" />
Save the changes and reboot.
DONE
Use RootExplorer to do that. Or other app like RootExplorer.

Thanks. Interestingly, that entry was already there. This is what happened next with es explorer:
then with root explorer:
Hmm... Thanks a lot tho for replying. We're getting close. I can feel it

Do you have root? Busybox installed ? If not flash SuperSU update and busybox. Both are flashable zip's. Just look for SuperSU update.zip and Busybox.zip

Yes I've root. I'll try again, but I will note that I had those but since they didn't help with TB I just uninstalled them, and remember, that code already is there. So I don't know what there is to try next.

When you want to delete files with es you need to set root permissions in the app itself.
Tools - set root on - also tap it once to enable the R/W rights
Looks like this :

Titanium backup won't write anywhere, not on phone either. If this is ext sd specific, should it apply here?

Yeah at least now he can stop flooding the forums with his n00b rage.

Yes, thank you a lot. And others who contributed. And sorry for my "noob rage" lol. HTC should have this info and post it. Even if they aren't responsible for it they should take some.

SDcard as internal storage in Redmi note 8 AOSP

How to use sdcard as internal storage on my redmi note 8, currently i'm using PixelOS rom. when I go to the setup settings for the sdcard there are two options, using the sdcard as portable storage and as extra phone storage. but when I choose as extra phone storage the formatting process stops at 40% and an error appears "attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.util.arraylist.size()' on a null object reference". is there a way to solve this error or use sdcard as internal in this aosp?

If you have Magisk, you could try this module: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4078731/ (look for its latest version on page #7).
It helped me solve a similar problem on another device -- a tablet, not a RN8.

Sorry, can't answer, no idea.
Are you on A11 firmware, by any chance?

Looks like it's a problem from PixelOS rom, I tried to use another rom and format sdcard it works fine.
Thank you everyone for helping me

Partition your SD Card for installing apps and storing other files at same time.
Make sure you have a root shell. If not, root your device with Magisk first.
Start a terminal, and run su to switch to root shell ($-->#) .
Partition your sdcard. Follow the instructions below.
1. Check your sdcard number.
Code:
sm list-disks adoptable
You will get the output like this:
Remember the disk number for further use.
2. Run the partition command to seperate your sd card space. Some space are used to store apps and their data. And the rest space keeps as external sdcard space.
Use this command to seperate your sd card:
Code:
sm partition "disk_number" mixed "reserved_percent"
Replace "disk_number" with your real disk number. Also you can control how much space goes for storing apps and their data and how much you want to reserved. For example you want 70% of SD Card for storing apps and 30% for original external storage, then "reserved_percent" is 30.
Code:
Example 2: Want 60% of sdcard goes to store apps, 40% as external storage.
sm partition "disk number" mixed 40
Press ENTER to execute your command. All data on your sdcard will be destroyed. Back up all data on sdcard first if needed.
Right now the sdcard has the ability to store apps. Move your apps to sdcard as you like.
Voila!
EDIT: I made a detailed guide here. Check it for more details. Press "like" button if helped you.

Just face the same problem as you. Tried some custom roms looks like only Android 11 have this issue. Wondering if you rollback to Android 10 to avoid this?
