system/etc/permissions.......open platform.xml look for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and add <group gid="media_rw" /> ....reboot, profit
Or use one of the kit kat sd fix apps in the market. I messed with my platform.xml to unlock sd write and somehow it caused all my storage to kick into read only mode

Guys,
i recently got a 16gb Sandisk Class 10 SDHC card from play.com and have noticed that in certain tests, (antutu benchmark and SD Tools) i cannot get a red/write speed for the external SD, so i tried to move a file with root explorer from internal to External SD and it says "Cannot move file"
Can anybody think what this might be?
I had an 8gb card previously and that worked fine, then i flashed an ICS Rom and it was still working fine for a couple of weeks, now i put the 16gb card in and it doesnt seem to show any figures, its as though the card doesnt exist.
I can however see all the pics off the card in the Gallery and see all the contents in file explorer so it looks like the phone is reading the card fine but writing is another issue.
any ideas guys?
EDIT: I have downloaded a couple more apps, SD Maid and SDCardTester, both show me permissions errors when trying to test the External SD. Could a CWM "Fix Permissions" fix this? What exactly does that feature of CWM do?
EDIT 2: Tried the fix permissions thing, didnt work. Still got the problem.
Anybody?
UPDATE:
This issue has now been fixed thanks to a member called "try" over in the ICS rom forum. Heres how to do it.
Edit platform.xml located in /system/etc/permissions/ using ADB or Root Explorer. Under WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE add <group gid="media_rw" /> so it would look like this...
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>Enjoy....
Make sure you make a copy of the file just incase, once the above edit has been done and saved, reboot the phone and Voila!

wtf?... gl to sd is a 141kb app and i have 550mb of storage left and its says : not enough storage ... how can it be possible?.. and i have rooted phone..
and can you please give me a link to a :directorybind manuel? beacuse i dont know where to find it.
There is no way to move installed apps (installed .apks) to internal memory except one, and that is to use a mod that makes your phone thinks that sd card is your internal memory and internal memory is your sd card. This way, the phone automatically installs apps to your sd card, because it thinks of it as internal storage.
If you don't like the above option (and I personally don't), then search for Directory Bind. It can't move .apks installed to external but it can basically mount anything on your sd card to your internal. This means that it can be really useful especially for big games (like need for speed) that have up to 2gb stored in your internal memory. Just make sure to download the latest version, which is 0.2.0o. If you learn how to use it, you won't have any shotage in storage issues.

FIrst thing you need to do after installing is go to preferences and change the "Default data path" for the Note 2 path:
Default data path for note 2 should be: /storage/extSdCard
Default target path for note 2 should be: /sdcard/
Tick the Bind on boot box to make the program automatically bind the paths once you boot. Also makes sure that "Persistent Service" is ticked.
Then leave settings and go to Add New Entry. Put the entry you want moved from internal to external.
For example i moved my need for speed game data (1.8gb) to enternal by using this entry
Data path: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_na/
Target Path: /sdcard/Android/data/come.ea.games.nfs13_na/
Tick the "Transfer files from target to data" and then click "Add".
After that the app basically moved my data from target path to data path and mounted it (it fools the phone into thinking that data is still in your internal storage, that's how it works). After you finish doing all the entries you want, click menu >>More >> Backup database. Read the topic above to learn more.

Yes it should work. I don't see why it wouldn't. You should download 0.2.0o, which is the latest version.
well.. its time to try it .. just before i do . you think its neccessery to backup all my apps with titanium backup ?ty for help..
Like I said, the app doesn't move apps or manipulate them in any way. It can only move folders found in internal storage and mounts them to make the phone think they are still there.
wtf?? i have 1.6 gb avilable and it says :cant install directory bind delete number of apps first and try again
please help why cant i install this app?

I have unlock the bootloader, rooted the phone, and installed custom recovery following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201148
still running stock rom at the moment.
I installed Titanium Backup Pro, and wanted to move some apps that I don't use often to SD card, but cannot find the option from Titanium menu anymore.
What I found out is that Titanium uses the external directory "sd-ext/app" for moving the apps from internal to external memory.
However, my current SD card is mounted as ext_card and also sdcard1?? I don't know why both of these directories point to the same location, is it something that Sony assigns? or is it how Android is configured right now?
Anyhow, I just want to know if simply renaming the folder ext_card to sd-ext would work?
If not, how can I remount the sd card as sd-ext without affecting other things that are already linked to it?
Thanks.
edit: admin, please move to the appropriate section.
found a work-around.
Just use root browser to create a short cut of "sdcard1", then rename it to sd-ext.
that's it!

I've been trying and trying and TRYING to accomplish your solution, yet I'm not able to modify any files or folders in the internal storage. When I try to do so by any means, my device freezes the app trying to create new files (in this case Root Browser, but it happens with anything else like ES Browser, apps, desktop applications, etc).
I just CAN'T write to the internal storage even if my device is rooted. I've tried to solve this but I just CAN'T. I don't know what else to do.
Any help is appreciated beforehand
THANKS!!
Hi All,
I am having issues being able to use files i have stored on my Ext SD Card. The problem started after flashing back to VenomRom from Skydragon Lollipop. I can read and write to the card fine but some (not all) files are no longer readable by the phone or by my windows PC if I copy the file to my desktop. This also effected some back ups I might prior to make the move back to Venom.
Any ideas on what has happened here or how to fix? I'm guessing its a permissions thing?
No, this is not a permissions issue. Folks keep defaulting to blaming the SD write permission implemented under KitKat (assume that is what you are referring to) whenever something (anything) goes wrong with the SD. All custom ROMs should have SD write permission enabled.
Try to reformat the SD, preferably using a 3rd party program on your PC.
Reformat should fix it.
I have had the same problem and could not even read TitaniumBackup data from my internal storage (/sdcard).
I have then copied any content from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup to /sdcard2/TitaniumBackup (which is the external_sd) and change the backup path in TB. Only then I could restore apps but have had no access to some pictures in whatsapp.
So for me it seems that I have a problem with my internal storage. Any advice?
BTW: I reverted to kitkat for the moment.

hi to all
how to fix probleme can't write access to external sd on android 6 HTC M8
i try many tutorial but no one work with apk with xposed
is there any solution
I'm not clear: Are you trying to grant SD card write permission to xposed? Or tried to use xposed to fix the SD card write problem?
Not personally an xposed user. But if you have general issue with other apps not being able to write to SD card, I might be able to help.

Changing your backup location in TB is a bit convoluted, and a pain in the rear. I just had to do this on another device a couple weeks ago, and had to fumble with it for a while before getting it right.
In TB, press Menu, select Preferences, then select "Backup folder location". Tap "Click to Change" (auto detect never seems to "see" the SD card). Then you will see different file system options. Honestly, I don't completely understand the differences between them. I picked "DocumentProvider storage". Then I tapped the 3-line menu button on the upper right. Selected the SD card, and tapped "Select" button on the lower right. After that, I was able to "see" the SD card in TB and read/write to the SD card.
Now, your description of apps not detecting the SD at all, or saying it writes to the SD, but no files show up, is a bit more worrisome. It suggests more than a permissions problem. Might make sense to format the SD card. Be sure to copy/backup any important data on the SD (if that is needed or even possible at this point) before formatting. Since formatting will erase all data on the SD.

The first time you try to save a file (or create folder) in ES Explorer, does the file selector appear (and lets you select the SD card)?

Strange. I haven't had this problem. Do you happen to have another SD card to try?
