Is there any way to enable SDcard write with a rooted N7? I tried editing the platform.xml file but the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE item is missing. There is a WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE but modifying this didn't work.
Some apps such as TB can write to the SDcard if there is an option to select DocumentProvider Storage

Hey guys,
I can't seem to make my external SD card the location for my TiBu backups. It says that the folder is not writable.
I'm using the externalSD card folder from within the storage folder. Any ideas on how to make this work? I can already write photos and other media including LG backups to my external SD.

I was having a similar issue with a different app and installing the application linked to above solved it.
Did you actually install and reboot your phone, or are you just assuming it will not work?

1) Installed SD fix
2) Rebooted
3) Tested TiBu - no dice
4) Uninstalled TiBu
5) Rebooted
6) Installed TiBu - still no dice
7) Checked /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, it is correctly set up per various instructions on Web
My other apps (camera, etc) can access SD_ext without issues, but TiBu is just being stubborn

Hmm interesting... I do have an orange folder in /storage that says it is not writable. I set the backup location to /storage/external_SD and ran a backup for the first time. It completed without any issues. I did confirm the data was actually written to the folder as well. Are you using this same path for your backup location?

Had the exact same problem, it apparently has something to do with permissions.
This fixed it for me:
1. Use a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions.
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission (under the other tags in this permission): <group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Reboot.

How to swap internal storage with the SD card in Nokia x
Step 1: We need a rooted phone for this process, if your phone is not rooted then first of all root your phone.
After root your phone, install root file manager. You have two options: 1. Root file explorer app, 2. Es file explorer file manager
Step 2: Open the Root explorer app >>> then go to root folder >>> then find and tap on the system folder >>> Now you can see the ETC folder, open this folder >>> after then you will see a list of files and folder, Now find vold.fstab >>> tap on this file, you will get lot’s of option, now tap on text editor option.
Step 3: After tap on the text editor, you will get a popup tab from Su app for giving root permission to root explorer app >>> tap on the grant option >>> then you will get a warning message for remount as read-write then tap on yes.
Step 4: Now vold.fstab file open for you, find these two line in this file:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 [email protected] /…………
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /…………….
You can see these lines in this image. Not much to do here, just change sdcard0 with sdcard1 in the first line and sdcard1 with sdcard0 in the second line >>> Now tap on the menu button in the phone >>> and tap on save and exit >>> close root file explorer app and reboot your phone or device. that’s all.
Hi there !
Where can i find installed apps folders in file manager
I'm trying - storage/emulated/0 and nothing there
Many thnx
/data/data but you have to be rooted to look in there. If you are not rooted, you will not be able to go there no matter what you do. The default file manager will not go there, so first root, then you have some options:
adb shell and then do "su -" after you've rooted and installed SuperSU. Then you can cd /data/data and do ls to your hearts content.
Install Root Explorer and you can explore outside of the internal and external SD cards. You'll be able to go to /data/data.
Install ES File Explorer and do the same as Root Explorer.
So, until you root, you're out of luck.
/data/data is where the app data is stored unless you tell it to store it on the SD card (internal SD card). Then, the data itself is stored in /sdcard/Android/data.
The actual application itself is installed in /data/app if I remember correctly. That will require root.
Also, I would avoid doing any changes in those directories. You can bugger your app up to where you'll have to re-install it and that wouldn't be good.
Thanx for your elaborated answer !!

I have unchecked the option for 'Mount as Read-Only' in TWRP but when I go to create a folder in root/system/app it says my file system is mounted as Read-Only. What am I doing wrong?
Hello,
I wanted to edit the file mixer_paths.xml present in system/vendor/etc to solve the issue with my incall speaker. But I'm not able to save it with a root explorer. I tried to paste another xml file in that folder with a root explorer with super user access, but it said access denied.
I tried also to mount the system folder with - rw permissions but it still doesn't work.
I also tried to move the file through twrp by mounting the system folder, but same issue, the transfer ended with an error.
Do someone have any issue to write on the system folder on a OP3?
Which firmware? Which root solution?
