Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to get the mojo to write to a usb thumb drive. So far I tried this:
"The simple solution, if you're rooted, is as follows:
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w.
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart your tablet."
but it didn't work. What else can I do?
Use the app Paragon NTFS & HFS+

OK I installed paragon and it works in es, but fore some odd reason it won't write in folder mount. I know the path is correct, but everytime FM tries to write to it I get an error message. Any suggestions?

Hi there,
i worked on the Generic.kcm and added or changed some Letters e.g. Z and Y, Ä, Ü, Ö.... and of course the ^ on the right position. ^^
Tested with Perixx Bluetooth keyboard.
You need root for that!
Instructions:
Option 1:
Flash QWERTZlayout.zip in CWM Recovery
Option 2:
1. Take the Keyboard off or out if it is a USB Keyboard ! important ! (seems if you don't it won't work)
2. Download Generic.kcm.txt and push it. " adb push Generic.kcm.txt /system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm "
2. Or push it manually with root explorer to /system/usr/keychars/
Therefor you need to rename it to Generic.kcm . The adb command above makes it automaticly.
3. Change Permission to rw-r--r-- see on the picture ! important !

Edit:
Updated some Spezial Letters and flashable zip.

first of all... THANKS!
second: the update.zip isnt working (tried right after flashing a kernel..maybe that was the prob but..) because of some mounting errors.
i did it myself via RootExplorer.
When you install the zip alone it should be fine.

Wanted to use this on my A501 with Tegraowners ICS ROM V170 (Android 4.0.4), and it doesnt work. Is there a way to get it working on this? Pushed the file via file manager in /system/usr/keychars.

Ok so i finaly got hold of a otg micro to female usb adapter, they should really give you one with the nexus.
updated to 4.2.1 this morning and now ive found plugging anything into the otg cable does nothing , usb stick, android phone, mp3 player,.. nothing.
was hoping to use an old android as a external hard drive/usb storage/micro sd reader
any idea's?
Yes, as has been posted in countless threads, Stickmount will not work until it is updated to work with 4.2. Please do some reading. Someone posted that an app called 'Usb OTG Helper' does work after the update, but I don't have the update yet so I can't test. It also works under 4.1.2.

I've tried OTG Helper, USB Mass Storage Watcher, and Stickmount after updating my Nexus 7 to 4.2.
They all behave the same...will mount and unmount the drive, but the folder reports no files.

my friend i suggest you begin reading as none of my post mentions the app "stickmount" if you took the time to read my post instead of flagrantly firing off any old answer you would probably see i only just got the nexus and have no real clue as to how connect anything too it.... please dont pigeon hole the next guy so bad eh?

If you feel adventurous, you can try the ntfs-3g binary that makes OTG Helper work, and try to manually mount your drive.
First though adb/terminal emulate this command, 5 or + seconds [however long it takes to initialize the drive] after plugging it in through OTG:
Code:
ls /dev/block/sd?1
If it lists it, then you're good to go!
If however, you have more than 1 partition, you will need to change the 1 to a 2 [or 3, or 4] depending on the partitioning.
Download ntfs-3g compiled by shardul_seth, I pulled the binary and uploaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?1z117pj3g57okab
with adb [or if you prefer, root browser]:
Code:
adb push ntfs-3g /system/xbin/
chmod +x /system/xbin/ntfs-3g
Now in adb/terminal:
Code:
su
mkdir /mnt/usbdisk
ntfs-3g /dev/block/sd?1 /storage/usbdisk
If you do not get an error, congratulations, your disk is now mounted!
To unmount,
Code:
su
umount /mnt/usbdisk
If you get an error saying device is busy, close file managers. If it still says device busy, type
Code:
su
pkill mediaserv
If it is still busy after that:
Code:
su
lsof | grep usbdisk
If any app has a file open on the disk it will show it here with its PID, and I think the name of it too. if you have the PID:
Code:
kill $PID
where $PID is the actual number.
If this works for you, and the other apps aren't updated for 4.2 soon, you can use Scripter to make mount and umount scripts to make it a little easier.

Thanks. At least there is some work around. Next up? CIFS ....

yeah actually I forgot and assumed the drive was NTFS :S
If it's fat32 or probably even ext2/3/4, instead of ntfs-3g binary, just use regular mount. :victory:
the reason for the ntfs-3g is because it supports R/W, instead of just R/O in the stock mount command. [ntfs-3g is the driver they use in Ubuntu and such for mounting windows ntfs drives]
If you need the OTG only for media files Nexus Media Importer still works fine with 4.2, and doesn't even need root.
For this to work you will need to be rooted with twrp installed.
This is for people who are on the stock rom or a rom without init.d support.
1. Download the wp_mod.ko file from @flar2's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816
and copy it over to your SD card (either internal or external)
2. Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
13. profit
I don't have my hands on mine yet (ordered a Dev edition from Amazon), but I greatly appreciate your work here! R/W was a massive pain for me on my M7, and this seems much more simple and easy. Thanks again!

Thanks for the turorial, but this isn't working for me
The file can't be executed (even after chmod) - and if i try to execute this file in an other directory, my terminal says that this file can't be found..
Any ideas?
So my device simply ignores Step 7 .... :crying:

It is ironic that a "grammar nazi" would use a double negative while pointing out a grammatical error...

Does this work if the phone is still s-on? (unlocked/rooted but no s-off)
Sorry, but will this fix my little niggling issue with MX player? I keep my Stewart/Colbert files on the extSD card, but I can't delete them when done watching them using MX Player's delete command. I have to remember which files are watched and then use ES File Explorer to delete them. A silly second step in my opinion. Yes I am rooted, s-on, with TWRP.
I'm staying stock hoping a firewater solves my s-on issue, but yes I should probably do a custom ROM to solve this and a few other things.
Will this make SD card writeable to all apps?
Will this make external micro SD card writeable to all apps?

MAN, NO DOUBLE POSTS. but yea it should do it...if not there is another way
In Terminal Emulator it says "Failed Exec Format Error". Any ideas?
I followed the 1st post directions without errors for Sense 6.0, Andoid 4.4.3. When I tried to:
1. When I tried editing and saving system/customize/ACC/default.xml in ES File Explorer phone rebooted on save and default.xml went back to stock
2. When I copied default.xml to extSD card, edited it, and tried overwriting system/customize/ACC/default.xml with edited default.xml in TWRP recovery phone also rebooted

I used a script on my Note 2 using Gscript. I could link a directory from internal memory to a usb stick! But...
...on my Note 3 it doesnt seem to be working although the message i receive after running the script is a clear OK and mistakeless. Using my file explorer though, i cant fin the link i supposed i have made between the 2 folders.
The script i use is:
mount -o bind /storage/UsbDriveA/test/ /storage/emulated/0/test (test folder for example)
and the paths are just fine, otherwise i would receive error message.
Any ideas?
PS: I do not want to use an app for that because of battery drain i experienced on my note 2...

Hello guys!
Here is an instruction how you uninstall system apps and Bloatware in any Android version with TitaniumBackup (TB) and TWRP!
Like usual, I'm not responsible for any damage of your phone.
I use the Pro Version of TitaniumBackup because you have better capabilities and the following guide is written for all who have the Pro Version:
1. Check if you're rooted and you have a working TWRP recovery. If not, in the other threads it's written how you can do this.
2. Install TitaniumBackup from Play Store and the Pro Version of this app.
3. The best way to do a backup in TB is on the external SD card. If you use Lollipop or Marschmallow you have to grant TB the option to use the external SD. The Guide is below.
4. Make a backup of all apps on your phone in TB.
5. Reboot your phone to TWRP and make a complete backup of your phone in TWRP.
6. Reboot to system.
7. Open TB and then uninstall the apps which you don't need. Attention: Don't uninstall system apps which the phone needs for correct running!
8. Reboot immediately to TWRP. Click mount and then tick system.
9. Reboot to system.
Guide for granting write access in Android 5 or 6:
Cklick on Menu then Preferences and then Backup folder location. A new window will appear where you have to change the backup folder. Click on (click to change). Click on DocumentProvider storage and choose your external SD. Click on > and type in the new folder name for your Backup.
That's it! If I helped you please press Thanks!

Hmm, I don't use the freeze mode. I think that it's frozen forever.
Better don't freeze IMS service. I uninstall only apps which I know that it doesn't corrupt the system. It's like the same if modders do a debloat script. ?
