System restrictions delete failed

When I wanted to delete something from my nook color running cm10 night lies I could not delete it and a notification pop out saying system restriction delete failed but when my nook color is running cm7.2 i had no problem deleting files can anybody explain to me for this observation? Thank you for reading and hope you have a nice day!

If the file is on SD... you may have ran into the occasional SD becoming read only under CM10 that periodically rears its ugly head.

So does it mean that there is no solution? Thanks anyway.

It means you may have to use a different SD. CM10 is real finicky about SD cards.

I have used sdcard no. 1 to install cm 10 but I use sdcard no. 2 to download additional files and apps and use it as the device's main sdcard meaning I use it. I tried a different sd card also but still can't delete files and using cm10, I realized that there are some hidden files with unknown symbols I don't know what are those I saw them when I use androzip but on other file manager I don't see them and I can't delete them BTW should I use cm7.2 or cm 10.

Those unknown symbol files mean that CM10 is sometimes corrupting some files when it writes. That is why it is mounting the SD as read only. It sees that corruption. Try creating a file with your CM10 file manager. If you cannot, it means it is mounted read only.
Try getting the free SDFormatter program and running that on your PC to reformat the no. 2 SD to fix any corruption.

I have reformatted it but it still says system restriction delete failed and unzip operation failed.

In case you dont know i want to hack glu credits the video is here. this is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76aczBNLp2Q Another thing is that when i want to format my sd card on sdformatter i cant see my sdcard.

You have a bad SD card. Stick with Sandisk as they are more reliable.

I have just format my sdcard and it worked perfectly until sometimes later that the errors come up again this is annoying man.

Boot into CWM recovery, advanced, select "partition sd card".

[Q] Confused about internal storage

Ok so hopefully somebody can set me straight here. My M comes with 8gb of internal storage. But I have run into app space issues and have read that only 4gb is accessible. If I'm correct that's disappointing. However it feels like less than 4gb is accessible to me. I deleted a couple more apps today, but here is my current storage usage (screenshot). I'm rooted on JB and have Titanium Backup so maybe that will allow me to transfer apps from internal storage to sd card. I have not yet tried it on the M and from the couple of posts I've read it may or may not be possible. I do not have a developer edition M. Which is what I read that you need. Is this the case? All my pics, vids, and music are already on the 32gb sd card. It's just apps taking up space on internal. What are my options for continually running out of storage so quickly?
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app

Example: The screenshot says I have 550mb available... Which isn't much at all... But I'm trying to install a 43.5mb app right now and I'm getting an internal storage warning. So my problem is two parts. 1, can't use the full 8gb and 2, can't even use what little space it says I have.

Do you have safe strap installed with an active slot? If so, use your root browser and delete the ss folder and in sdcard0, the safestrap folder which contains the ROM slot information. That should put you back around where you should be. Don't touch the TWRP folders and you will be fine to continue using safe strap.

I did install safestrap last week intending on loading a custom ROM, but ended up not feeling like I was experienced enough to do so at this time so I deleted the app. Would deleting the app have been enough to solve that issue?

You can also use directory bind to bind the data to the sdcard1 path. Works like a charm.

Not exactly sure what you mean. Is directory bind an app? Would this be necessary if I have already deleted safestrap for the time being?

if it has 8gig why does it only let you use half of it..and what's the purpose of the other 4gig left... because as far as I know when you install apps it takes up the space of the 4gig that you you.

Directory bind can get you in some trouble if you are not careful. Delete one side on accident, you delete the other's content as well. Directory bind just links two locations and basically acts like a forwarding service.
Back to Safestrap. Yes, Safestrap partitions your usable memory for the other operating system file. Its just like dual booting a computer, you don't have shared memory between the two. (As far as internal memory is concerned.)
Did you delete the folders? It should fix your issue. Check your storage stats in stock settings afterwards to confirm.

Deleting the app alone will not get rid of the partition, in my experience. Reboot your phone to see if its gone too. The folders are /ss and /storage/sdcard0/Safestrap. You could also delete the TWRP folders if they are present, since you do not need Safestrap any longer.
Let me know if this solves your issue.

I don't seem to have either of those folders when I tried to search for them with root explorer. So maybe I didn't do anything when I opened up safestrap when I had it.
And to clarify, sdcard0 is internal storage and sdcard1 is the actual sd card correct?

Yes sir. That is correct. Did you make a slot when you opened safe strap? Normally that eats up memory like crazy.

I probably downloaded it then left it alone while I researched a bit and never ended up doing anything. I'll move some stuff over from sdcard0 if I have any pics or music still on there to free up a little space or maybe try one of those complex work arounds to free up some of that extra 4gb eventually.

look, there are certain apps which can be moved to the SD card. Some cannot. Some will work only with partial features when moved to SD. If the option to move to SD card is greyed out, u simply can't.

thats native moving to sd which isnt recommended - for example if you nativally move a widget to sd it will not work
- all apps can actually be linked to sd including widgets so that they act like they are on internal storage but actually they are on sd card hense the term linked
there are many different methods and scripts to do this - just search

there are many apps and scripts to link apps to sd card
eg link2sd (requires second ext sd card partition)
just do a search - theres loads of guides and methods in the general section

Thanks but i have tried link2sd and i don't know how to create 2nd partition !!!
I heard after creating 2nd partition life span of sd card decreases !!!
So is it safe ???

you confuse that with swap
you can create it in cwm but it will format your sd card so backup first

Almost every apps use internal as storage space . Some games like GTA3 or so ( which need extra data ) uses sd as their data storage . So Facebook CAN NOT BE moved to SD-Card but you can link and by that , can free some internal memory
Hit thanks if I helped/Assisted you

OK.........Right

moving files to external sd card, plz help

ok so I recently updated my Samsung galaxy s4 i337 to 4.4.2 NC1 and rooted it.. although I'm having a problem installing a ROM on it..
every time I go to CWM recovery I cannot install an update from internal memory, which is where my phone automatically puts downloaded files in. I've looked all over for a way to moves files from internal memory to external sd card but I haven't been able to find a method that works so I finally decided to make an account on xda and ask.. so weather there is a way to move the .zip files (the rom and gapps) to my external sd card, or another method to installing custom ROMs, please help :/
