[Q] external SD write Fix for CM13? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Recently I have been trying to give full writing access to all my applications to the SD card in cyanogenmod 13 (especially emulators like Retroarch), and I have tried those sd fix, sadly without success:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-marshmallow-sd-fix-write-t3403263
So far I didn't find any solution other than downgrading to CM12.1.
But I truly like CM13, for me it's the best rom for Stability/functionality/Battery life.
Does someone have any clue of how to correct the issue?
Thanks guys

[Q] Stuck in boot screen

Hi,
Basically what has happened is, yesterday i flashed the ROM RcMixS however i think i may have done something terrible wrong along the way. I tried to restore my previous backup however had no luck with this. I am currently restoring phone using the RUU, for the 2nd time, since tried it again and same result. Im thinking maybe this good be pointing to a bad partition on the SD card? Is there a way i can fix a bad partition without buying a new card?
Thanks

theres no such thing as a troubleshooting guide sticked on the Q&A forum and it will not help you.
Yes i have seen your guide, and it did help me the last time when i broke my phone. Thanks for the guide! But ive tried looking at your guide, but so far ive tried both boot problem sections, with no success, and the advanced boot problems to. Hence why i might be thinking that its the SD partition?
Did a full format (of everything), and tried flashing a ROM you KNOW works e.g. cm7?
The guide is there to get your phone in working order, not for specific ROM's
Ive wiped everything apart from the SD card and have tried flashing SuperNova, Gingerburst, Leedroid's and AcesMod007. All of which have ended up with the same result. So im definitely thinking its my phone or SD card which is causing the problems?
Edit: managed to fix it myself, by wiping the card on 4ext recovery then re partioning the card. Seems to have worked well

[i9195] CM 11 KK 4.4.2 App2SD/Link2SD

Hi all,
because of less posts I am forced to ask in this section.
As I can see the headset volume buttons issue is fixed for our device. What about the external storage?
I am not new in flashing a custom ROM, but still am not able to move apps to external storage the default way. There even is no option for this in the application menu.
Actually I am waiting for the delivery of my new micro SD card, but am thinking about a complete wipe/re-install when I received it. What do you think, is it worth a shot or won't that solve the issue?
Thanks for your intentions in this

Install folder mount
sent from my i9192 with CM11 by sekil
If you want hassle free, using move to SD feature from the ROM iteslf, wait for the new build of SlimKat. The author is testing and implementing this feature as we speak. Give it sometime, it should be ready soon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708677
Thanks for your answers, guys. I was just wondering, because on my i9100 running cm 11 kk 4.4.2 this was no problem. Same on the versions I used before.
I already have FolderMount installed, but only use it for one application for testing. But that is not the same. I was looking for a way to automatically move applications I just installed to the SD card. On my old build CleanMaster did that for me. Now I need to do it immediately after installation or I will forget about it.
But thanks anways!

[Q] external SD card help on 4.4.4

Help all, would really appreciate it.
I'm on Mahdi's latest ROM with RedKernel, Android 4.4.4. Everything works great, except the external SD card. It will usually work once, after I use a KitKat external SD patch app. So then, i can put a file/movie on there and play it. The next time I try to write to the ext. SD card, it looks like it works, but its not readable at all. No matter how many more times I try the patch app, it doesn't work. It is so frustrating.
I am willing to change ROMs, Kernels, downgrade to 4.2, whatever.
Can someone tell me what to try, do and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
:crying:
I use http://repo.xposed.info/module/kz.virtex.android.sdcardfix to allow sdcard access. Works great on stock.

External SD unable to mount after upgrade to ARHD 50.2/Marshmallow

(First post, so please bear with me)
I've been running Android Revolution HD on my M8 for about a year with great success. A few days ago I did a dirty upgrade from 45.0 to 50.2, meaning I also upgraded from Lollipop to Marshmallow.
The new version is working fine, with one exception: I'm unable to mount the external SD, at all. Have tried several different cards, MicroSDXC and MicroSDHC, both empty and with content, same result. Have tried re-formatting a card with both FAT, ext4 and exFAT in TWRP and GParted.
Everything worked fine before the upgrade, no cards work now. Mounting external USB works.
The only thing I can think of is that I have not upgraded the firmware - I'm still on 4.16.401.10. I understand there is now a newer one, but I have not yet been able to find this for European GSM models (my exact CID is HTC__Y13). Could this be the reason, and if so, does anyone know where I might find the newer firmware, if it's available? If it's not, can I use the one from Google Play Edition, or something else, even if the CID doesn't match?
Exact symptoms: In Settings -> Storage & USB -> Removable storage, it reads:
SD Card
Ejected
If I click "Ejected", I get a dialog that reads "This SD card is safely ejected, but still available. To use this SD card, you have to mount it first.". If I then click the mount button, a pop-up displays reading "SD card is mounted", but nothing actually happens, and the card is not actually mounted anywhere. If I physically eject the card, the "Removable Storage" sub-menu disappears, but re-inserting it just brings back the same problem.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA
@mike1986. Just thought I'd tag you, since it appears I'm not allowed to post in the proper ARHD forum. Hope that's alright.
I recommend a clean install of the rom (full wipe) as it is a huge firmware upgrade. If the problem remains it might be a rom related issue but I don't think so at this time.

Thanks for your reply. I am quite willing to believe this is a firmware issue, rather than a rom issue, although on my part this is pure speculation. If you have anything beyond speculation to suggest it is indeed firmware related, I'd happily try an upgrade. But this still leaves the question of which firmware to upgrade to, and where to get it. Any idea?
If a firmware upgrade didn't solve it then perhaps a clean install/full wipe might be worth a shot, if there aren't other, more targeted suggestions. But I'd sooner like to rule out other possibilities, given the amount of extra work involved in a full wipe.
Still no go
With Marshmallow finally being released in WWE edition for European users, I have been able to successfully upgrade the firmware to 6.12.401.4. I have also upgraded ARHD to 51.0.
Unfortunately none of this has had any effect on my original problem, and with my initial hopes that this was a firmware issue now squashed, I am frankly quite stumped for ideas. I'd really rather avoid the pain of having to reinstall from scratch, especially when I have no other problems with the ROM, and several issues with sluggish UI I experienced before in Lollipop are now gone. Frankly everything else is working fine, apart from this.
Anyone have any ideas, any at all, besides the above? Have anyone else seen this problem, even?

He doesn't actually mean "firmware" here. He just means you should do a full wipe since the ROM version is a significant upgrade (as you should always do for major ROM version changes). Dirty flash has a huge potential for random bugs, so you should eliminate that as the cause, first of all.
Same goes if you migrated the user data through the MM OTA.
Some ROM threads you will see around here, they tell you to not even think about posting a bug report, if you did a dirty flash.
Have the exact same problem after doing OTA upgrades from 4.4 to 5.0, and then from 5.0 to 6.0.
Wonder if the original poster did try a full wipe, and if that helped?
For anyone else finding this thread via google or similar, after wiping (I used the default wipe option in twrp) and rebooting, my sd card functions as normal.

Recommended ROM for Tab S 10.5 T807T?

Looking for a new ROM for my T807T that is as close to pure Android 7 as possible though I guess I deal with something else. I currently have AOSP 7.0 and it's great but I didn't know that it currently has issues with using sd cards. It'll detect the SD card but it won't write to it or allow me to change it once it's converted. I mainly just want a ROM that doesn't have any sd card issues and is for Nougat. So if anyone has any suggestions to help me out.
Update: So I found a fix and can now add files via recovery and see them on the ROM.
