[Q] SD card read/write problem. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

The problem I am having is finding a 4.4 ROM that supports moving apps to thee SD card. Do any exist yet? So far the only ones I have gotten to work correctly are TW ROMS (4.3 and below) of course.
Or does everyone have it working on theirs and I am doing something wrong?

Search. This is a new feature implemented into KitKat by Android. There are work aroumds.

That seems to be the problem, Ive tried two different methods. The zip file, and the aroma zip file. Neither have worked for me so far. Is there another method that I might have missed? Goggling it hasn't turned up any solutions for me.

Search and you should find this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50442780&postcount=238

Thanks.

Unable to click install button from apk file

I am currently running the latest paranoid android Rom on my nexus 4 using Franco's milestone 2 kernel. I am having problems installing apps that I downloaded (e.g., Adobe flash update). What happens is I can see the installation screen with the different permissions, but I cannot click on the install button. It works when I install apps from the play store but not through root browser, astro, es explorer. I have tried other apks to make sure it's not just that one file. As well, I had even removed those dimmer apps like twilight and lux before installing. I also stopped the running applications and then tried installing. I'm stumped and I have no idea what to try next. Maybe there is another uncommon app that I need to uninstall before installing off my card...
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

Disable HALO if you want to install apk`s.
Geez. You know how to flash paranoid android but not how to search? This has been mentioned many times..
Disable screen filter if you by any chance using it
It happened to me yesterday and it was found it was caused by file screen.

Disable Halo, then you can install it.
If you actually looked through the PA thread, you'd see this has been answered over 50 times within the last few pages.

you can not install adobe flash from the play store, flash does not support android 4.2.2. yoy would need to install it from the adobe site list of past flash updates. same with any other app from the play store that doesnt support the nexus 4 or the right android version.
thanks

AppWidgetDisplay
Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.
There is another way which will always work, If you don't want to waste your time.
Just use adb to install. As shown in the post below.

[Req.]Galaxy Note II messaging app for Galaxy s4

Im looking for the gn2 messaging style app for gs4.
I know they have it on freegs4 rom, but im running force.
itd be awesome to get that,
also, when are we going to get call recording, and flashlight toggle!!!
Pull the one you want from free rom, rename the force one with bak after .apk. push the free one and set permissions and reboot. Should work fine, make a nandroid before, just in case

Yeah, i found it earlier, for some reason i was looking for mms.apk not secmms.apk. but whatever.
the only thing im having trouble with right now is,
putting the SecMms.apk from freegs4 to my rom.
ive got the apk on my desktop, i know how to change permissions once in my /system,
but i cant get the .apk to copy over, what do i need to do for that?

There is an option to turn the flashlight on by long pressing the brightness icon.

according to other users, it doesn't work on force rom, or any rom for that matter.
as a matter of fact, the op says not to use with any rom, just for stock rooted.
but thanks for trying anyways!

KitKat Saving pictures to SD card

I hope I'm not asking a stupid question (first post here).
I'm running CyanogenMod Nightly with Android 4.4.2 and Nova as my launcher. I'm trying to figure out how to have my pictures go to my SD card by default. I was able to do it before upgrading to 4.4.2 in the camera menu's options. Is there something I'm missing? It's going straight to my internal memory.
If there's no way to do it, is there a good camera app that lets me do it? I tried using (and paid for) Perfectly Clear but the app takes too long to load. I live in NYC, and crazy things happen all the time, I need the app to load right away, like the default app.
Thanks for everyone's help!
Mike
Haven't seen any of the 4.4 ROMs with save to SD an option..yet.
Saw a xposed mod for save to SD...haven't tried it yet, but might work for you.
But not an option yet that I've seen on 4.4 roms

Do you know of this would work on the Galaxy S3? I'm still on cm10.2 and save to SD is really the only thing keeping me from jumping to cm11. Would it be an issue if xposed were used only to solve this and when it's added to a nightly would it cause problems?
Dont see why it wouldn't! I never ran xposed on my s3 but I know a bunch of guys that do. And even if it doesn't you can always use an root explorer to move the pics to your SD card manually!

What is a Good Rom for this phone.

What is a good rom to run on this phone? I have tried a few and can't seem to find anything that works with out issue. I tried the latest SlimRom which I liked but It doesn't allow me root access. So apps like titanium backup don't work I've tried I think its OEO or something of that nature and it was ok and I don't care for CM11.
I am using the stock rom that came with the phone I think that is ICS

I have never found a more functional rom than mhous33 dst stock or the avistralia deodexed mod.
All the cm, pacman, aokp...... never work FOR ME in all the capacities of stock.
About TiBu, I have always found issues with it.
I use recovery advanced restore to move apps.
You can move your stock data to both the dst & avistralia roms.

Did you try flashing supersu in twrp to get root access? Also, the most recent builds of CM11 have been running great for me with no issues and better performance than stock and CM10.2 for me. It's worth a try...

They do have use to you because you would find the info you're looking for, if you take the time to read them.
I tried out SlimKat and it seemed ok but i really don't like how little they made the fonts and the screens in it. Some of us older people need bigger. I also had to flash the SU binary update as its not added to it. I tried out the beta 2 edition. After my data resets I plan on trying the DST one that was also suggested. Sometimes not having home internet sucks.
