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.

Hi all,
Apologies if this is an old issue, but I can't seem to find it posted anywhere else. If I'm providing irrelevant information or not enough info, please let me know.
I rooted my phone an hour or so ago as I wanted to be able to raise the volume on movies so that I could actually hear the audio through headphones.
Since I rooted my phone the device won't mount my SD card. As soon as I boot the device it shows a system notification "You can safely remove SD card".
When I go into Settings>More>Storage the bottom option is for "Mount SD card". However when I press this it says "Preparing SD card" and then roughly 10 seconds later says "SD card safe to remove".
I have been using the Sandisk 64GB XC I SD card with the phone since I bought it.
I rooted my i9195 using Odin 3 and using the files below:
GT-I9195_MF5_870901_kernel.tar.md5
recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.3-serranoltexx.tar.md5
The phone seems to have rooted correctly. Rootchecker advises that the phone is properly rooted.
Everything on the phone seems to be working correctly with the exception of apps loaded on the SD card.
The SD card works fine in my girlfriend's phone and all the data is there. The SD card worked minutes prior to rooting the phone. My phone also reads my girlfriend's 32GB SD card fine.
I was tempted to unroot the phone in the hope this would restore the functionality, but I have no idea which version of the firmware to unroot back to.
After all this, my question is:
Is there a way to fix this issue?
I read somewhere that some kernels werent able to recognize 64gb memory cards. Maybe "GT-I9195_MF5_870901_kernel.tar.md5" this could be the issue.

So if I try a different kernel then this may fix the issue? Fantastic! Is there a better kernel you can recommend that I should try? As I mentioned, all I want is to be able to increase the headphone sound on videos...
If you look at the original root release thread there's the latest recovery and a custom kernel meant for stock ROMs for you to flash. Flash those it should work.

Sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm now a little hesitant to do something and end up doing the wrong thing. I assume that this is the thread you're referencing? I see so many ROMs there that I'm now just totally confused as to what to do and which one is for my device. I'm using the LTE i9195, so I assume this is the kernel I should be using?
I initially used this link to root the phone, so I'm now just searching for the original thread you mention. Hopefully I've got the right idea and it's just a matter of doing what I've already done with one file changed.
Thanks again in advance guys, I appreciate all the help!
Nope, I'm referring to the original release thread by arco68.

You are partially right about which kernel you should flash. That link you posted is a kernel meant for devices which use custom ROMs based on AOSP.
Your ROM is a Samsung ROM (Touchwiz) and therefore you need to use a different kernel.
You have three options:
A) The original modified samsung kernel by arco68 in his release thread
B) f4ktion kernel based on A but with added features. The link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636890
C) junkyde's Vikinger kernel for Samsung ROMs also based on A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545244

Thank you SO MUCH. I followed the instructions and I can see my SD card again! Happy days and jubilations! You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Now to find how to raise the volume of headphones... Wish me luck! :silly:
Some kernels support raising volume. Otherwise you could adjust the DSP effects to add gain to all frequencies on the equaliser
Glad to have been of help
I have a small "ideea"
If someone with 64 Gb card could test something with a custom kernel ( that does not support 64 cards ) would be awsome ...
Set your I/O scheduler to CFQ I/O ( the default samsung uses ) in my kernel i use No-Op I/O and it does not work with 64 cards. Maybe other kernels that don`t support it uses some other scheduler then stock.
U can modify it with No-frills CPU Control and root
Thank u in advance
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

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!

(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.
Hey guys,
mom keeps hitting the storage limit of the 8GB SM-T210 Galaxy Tab 3 wifi only version. That thing is still running kitkat and half the aps can't be moved to external storage because of samsung's kitkat modifications. This tab is now seriously falling behind on android version and security that i'm looking into rooting that thing and installing a custom rom on it (pref one that's actively developped and as close to M as possible), perhaps one that even gets OTA's.
Since my own devices are nexus line i understand it won't be as simple? I've got little experience with rooting brand skinned devices like that. My last one was a Sensation XE. Can anyone link me to the simplest thread to root that thing and a good custom rom. Mom's 59 years old so nothing to fancy. As close to stock android (without all samsungs bloatware on it), and where the apps can actually be moved to SD card.
I've attached an image of the device info. Should be all you guys need to get me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
You can just Root your device, then install Xposed Installer and after that install modules Obb on SD and Kitkat SD full access and then you can move files to external storage without any problems.
This is how you can root your tablet : http://www.droidviews.com/root-galaxy-tab-3-7-0-sm-t210-sm-t210r-and-install-twrp-recovery/
If i'm going to do it then i'll go all the way and custom rom. She's got no need for Xposed or any of the bloatware. With a custom rom i'll be able to get rid of it all. Now, the rooting seems simple enough for that device, guess now all that's left is a custom rom.
Xposed isn't a bloatware.. I was using all the time on my T-310 and I wasn't having any problems, after CustomROM install I stopped using it because SD Cards work a little bit differnt on MM like I saw.
i never said it was bloatware. I said she's got no need for Xposed, or the bloatware thats currently on the device. Hence a custom rom need.
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
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
