Did you make a backup of the stock rom? It uses a LOT of storage.

Only do this if you want to delete your nandroid of your stock ROM. If you want to keep that backup, move it to the SD card or your computer first.

You can always get it as n odin flashable .tar file that will restore almost everything to its original state.

Y ou could download one of the many pre-rooted (de)odexed stock roms here if you want to go back to official..
Or just do a complete wipe (system,data,cache) and install CM 10.1 again.
Hello everyone!
I got the Samsung galaxy S4 i9500 international version.
I put a 32gb micro sd card of SanDisk and it works fine.
The only problem is that I want to install apps on the sd card and I can't because I dont have the "move to sd card" option.
I saw some videos that show how the "move to sd card" is available without any root to the device...
Thanks a lot for helping!

what is your firmware? dial *#1234#
you have to update manually to a new version with odin. see my signature
or you can root your phone and use folder mount

You do realize that the "move to sd" option doesn't really Dave you any appreciable space, right? It will only relocate the apk and will leave the app or game's data intact in its original location.

You can try using Folder Mount or one of the similar third party apps to move the data to your external sd card and create symlinks from the original location to the new one.

I got my Galaxy S4 i337 AT&T version and was unable to move any of my apps to SD card. My SD card is currently working fine, I could take pictures and it can automatically help me transfer the files to the SD card. I tried adding music to my SD card and it works perfectly fine. THE only problem I am getting is that I the "move to sd card" button is not there. My S4 is rooted already. please help if anyone knows how to fix it. I tried updating my software and it says "Current software is up to date You may check again in: 24 hours"

I did the KitKat upgrade to my Note 10.1 a couple of days ago. I'm now sorry I did that. Why? The external SD card changes make some of my apps, paid apps, unusable. One of those is AppMonsterPro. It backs up a copy of an APK just before the Play Store updates an app. This allows me to go back to a previous APK should the new version have bugs or create havoc. Unfortunately under KitKat applications can no longer create folders on external SD cards so AppMonsterPro can't do it's job.
Here's a quote from the developer: "Since Android 4.4 KitKat on dual-storage devices (internal / external) apps can no longer write files to external SD card. Some apps can, but only files, f.e. pics, but no folders. AppMonster must write folders in order to work. As long Google does not make SD card useful again, the only workaround is to use internal storage to store your backups."
Not only can't AppMasterPro create folders, I can't delete the folders that were there before KitKat using any file manager program. I have to take the SD card out and use a PC to delete them.
This is a screwed up mess and I would like to know if there's a method, via Odin, to go back to 4.3. Any help would be appreciated.

No offense, but if you're on XDA you should have seen this coming - the external SD issues have been discussed for months and there are even current threads in this forum that were started before 4.4 for the N10.1-14 was even released. You may as well suck it up and stay on 4.4. There are significant improvements, not just to the OS but Samsung's apps too. You're going to have to make the leap some time so you might as well just bite the bullet and figure out new ways to do what you used to do. Does your app that's broken support cloud storage? You might be able to have your backups saved in Dropbox.

Does anyone know if the bootloader was updated in 4.4? That's what'll brick a device and also trip KNOX. I'm not saying there won't be issues (AKA: I'm not responsible if anyone bricks their device) going from 4.4<>4.3 but it may work if the bootloader's the same.

Here's a potential work-around. Samsung's My Files can create/edit/delete both files and folders on the external SD card. Have your app save the backups to internal storage and then set up a dual-window instance of My Files in multi view and just drag and drop them to a folder(s) you've created on the external SD. It's a pain in the ass but a way to keep more internal memory free.
Those of us with 32GB can probably live with more stuff having to be kept on internal SD but folks with 16GB have a tough road to hoe.

Ok, help me. If I install the 4.4 USA image I have two questions. Is there a root for it? (If so can you point me to instructions.) What are the steps to negate the external SD card restrictions?
Yh, Google really messed up though they claim it's for security reasons. Apps can create folders but only the app that created the folder has access to the folder (for "security" reasons). Samsung apps have access to all folders, so the suggestion of using my files should work though it's a headache. My advice, root and be don't with it. The fact is going forward this is the new normal, don't mek sense get stuck on 4.3 as app support moves to 4.4 and beyond and you're there holding on like what happened with Mac OS 10.4, but that's just me. Re going back to 4.3 I did a nandroid backup before I went to 4.4 and did something that made me need to go back to 4.3 and redo the update. It went back using the nandroid backup without any issues, everything worked fine and I re updated and all was well too.
Hope you get it sorted.

You can root your Kit Kat ROM. The procedure is simple and is same as 4.3. Once rooted the fix for your External SD problem is straight forward.
You can follow this or install this app and let it do its thing. You should be good to go.

I change to stock NE4, and everything is ok with my sdcard.

Does Samsung released 4.4.3 for Note 3? I’m using 4.4.2 updated recently but still not sd card write permission fixed.
4.4.3 is barely out for the Nexus, it's going to be a while before we see it on the Note 3.
What they fixed in the recent 4.4.2's is the ability to read from the MicroSD.

When the first 4.4.2 update came out, 3rd party apps couldn't even read the SDcard. Samsung fixed that problem in the consequential update.
You still can't write to it without either A, apps that use a workaround, or B, Root Access.
ES File Explorer, for instance, works. (For the most part, renaming doesn't.)
