So im stock rooted gs5 verizon here. I have tried editing the platform file to allow external sd card write privileges. But every time that I delete something on the extsdcard it pops back using. The items go away and all but when I restart my phone it just all pops back up. I dont know what to do at.this point to get it to work right. Maybe my sdcard is improperly formatted... I dont know. Can anyone help?

Hello,
Few hours ago, I managed to fix the grey "Move to SD" problem in froyo by using the setInstallLocation 2 solution, after doing that, I moved all my applications to the SD card. Then I did a wipe factory reset to my device.
When turning on the phone, the SD card apps were gone, but they are still in my SD card "secure" folder,files with .asec extension.
They don't exist in my phone, but when turning on the usb storage, i can see them in my SD card.
Has this happened to anyone?? ty very much/1
I don't have much experience with this option, but I would say that a wipe is a wipe and the associated file on the sdcard is only a link to the put the application on the sdcard not the full application.
At best it would keep the option when you re-download that application from the market.
If so, where the real application is? what's the point of "moving the SD" if the application is still stored on the phone?
And it can't be a link because of the size of the files, it's really near the size of the application. I'm convinced it is the application, but wondering why I can't use or find them.
it's pissing me off, i had plenty of games and useful apps
yes, the "registry" of installed apps is gone with the wipe, so android does not know how to use those files on the sd card. You will have to nandroid/titanium restore or reinstall.
Aww.. lucky i got the saved games on the sd...
I got an unrelated question:
I found that the apn settings are saved under the file apns-conf.xml.
I downloaded the file with the settings i need, pushed it to system/etc and still i don't get the apn settings. tried rebooting the phone, and wonders why i still don't get the apns?
If you have a backup, restore it, move all your apps back to phone, then wipe, flash the new rom and move them back to SD.
All problems solved, ty
I'm relatively new to this but up until now I've had no problems so far... So I just upgraded to the latest version of Jamal's 4.4.2, following the proper install method, clearing data and caches in CWM.
I DL'd Titanium Backup and tried to change my backup location to where I store my apps which is on my SD however upon selecting /extsdcard it says that 'this folder is not writable'. Using a file manager and attempting to access external just displays an empty folder. However, going into settings-storage shows that the SD card is mounted and displays the correct size/available space.
If I unmount then mount the card it seems to function again, I am able to access the files in a file manager. That is until I go back into Titanium Backup. Now it does something different here if I press 'DETECT!', it finds my backups and displays the correct amount and path on the external however upon selecting them it takes me to the appropriate folder and says 'This folder is not writable' and 'this folder is empty.' and Use the current folder' is greyed out. The external sd is then back to displaying nothing in the file managers again.
I've tried wiping and re-installing the ROM, but it still carries on doing the same thing. I've searched in the ROM's thread and other places and I haven't been able to come up with any solution so I'd be grateful if you could shed some light into this issue and possibly offer a potential fix?
this issue is hard.Im not a developer,but I think you need change an another firmware or change a new TF card.so you can know what's the problem.But I have a damaged TF card have the similar problem.but due to I have no important file in it ,I throw it out
hope I can help you
Hi there
Im sorry if this been asked before, but I did some searches and couldnt find anything related to this
I just made a factory reset on my phone, because the battery drain was horrible and couldnt locate which app was causing this.
The device is rooted and its been working fine until now. For some reason Titanium Backup cannot access the path storage/emulated/0. This is where the backups are supposed to be stored. But it doesnt have access to any other internal path, it always says "this folder is not writable" every time I try to use internal storage. Thus cant make any backup or restore. I cant even see the list of the apps that are installed in order to freeze some of them.
Same happens to ES File Explorer. Before I could access storage/emulated/0 to transfer files from/to my MicroSD. And when I tried to copy a WhatsApp back up it says that it failed. In the memory selector I could choose between extCard and the before mentioned path. Now I can only see the extCard and a "legacy" drive, or whatever its called.
I tried fixing permisions for TB and ES File Explorer and used an App thats suppossed to fix the KitKat SDcard issue but its not working for me
It seems to me that the internal storage is somehow write protected?
Anyone can help? With links or your own knolwdge.
Thanks

Did you find a solution? I am stuck with the same issue and have tried all the steps you mentioned.
Sadly I didn't find any solution for this issue. I just sold the device and got a Note 3 shortly after I wrote this post. Maybe you could reflash the whole firmware via Odin? Or restoring the device via Kies.
I'm having a serious issue and I'm not sure if it has to do with the rom or an app... Idk, but it's extremely frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. And I'm sorry if it ends up being something that has nothing to do with a bug in the rom.
Here's what's happening:
I'll connect my to my pc through USB to transfer files and such. I navigate to my external SD card. I create a folder and transfer a couple of files into said folder. Done.
Now, idk if this happens automatically or after a reboot but... Basically, everything I do or put on my SD card gets deleted. It's like what I do gets reversed... The folder, the files.. Gone. Idk what's happening. Is it the rom? Or maybe an app?
I use Cyanogenmod 10/05 Nightly. I have ROM toolbox, and titanium backup. That's it. I recently did a full backup through my philz recovery. Could it be something I did through my settings?
It just started happening in the last week or so. I've changed nightlies but it's still happening. So I don't think it's the ROM.
Please help if you can. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
bump...
please... anyone?

- First, make sure you have properly eject the sd card before disconnecting it from the PC.
- Second, after disconnecting from the PC, use file explorer app on your phone to see if the files and folder are still there?
And using rootexplorer or similar make sure your extsd card has r/w access. I had the same issue and it worked okay after changing r/o to r/w.
Even after running the sdcard fix apps I need to do this from time to time.

SD write issu
I did a fresh install but I'm unable to use sdcard. Every time I copy something to sdcard it dissapears after reboot.
Some apps also change their icons after reboot to the one with "sd" and when I try to open them it shows "App not installed".
I checked with Root Explorer and it shows permissions rwxrwxrwx.
I'm using NxtGen ROM. Any ideas? Also posted this in their forum.
Hi folks, need some thoughts on a rogue NANDROID file that somehow was saved to SD card\Emulated\legacy\O\O\clockworkmod! EX File Explorer can see it but it says that I have no permission to do anything with it except read or copy to another location. It is taking up over 4GB of the 16GB or phone memory. I have tried several different file managers, Rom Tool Box and still no success, it is still there! Also when connected to PC with USB again it tells me I don't have premission to do anything and nowhere on PC or phone will it allow me to change permissions or ownership. Under Explorer in windows it is not shown as write protected. I may be able to get rid of it by formating Data and Data\Medial in Philz but would rather not do that as my other NANDROIDs probably have the same stuck file. (Didn"t notice it for a while) If anyone has any other ideas for how to delete this rogue I would appreciate.
