Hi, recently i got s7 edge and inserted my sd card from old phone in it.
I use programs like Docs to go for editing files, but on new android 6 this seems impossible. Saving my changes prompts that file can not be written on sd card and i must chose another location from internal memory.
Any solution for this issue?
The stock file manager gives me no issues.
How do you edit MS Word documents with your stock file manager?
Note that i am asking about editing files with app, i do not ask about file system operations (copy, move, delete, rename)
Yeah, Most applications cannot access external SD for R/W access. Gotta wait till the respective app developers update their apps.
I'm waiting for Root Explorer.
With ES file explorer i can write on sd card fine.
Strange that MS word for android can't write to sd too. MS is trustworthy vendor.
Solid Explorer works absolutely fine for me. Install it, then attempt to create an empty folder or file on the external SD. You will need to go through a small procedure to grant permission (by selecting the external SD card within the default file manager) and then the folder/file will be created and Solid Explorer then has full write permission on the external card. This will also be remembered for the next time you use it.
Beefheart,
Imagine you have a file called report.docx on your sd card. You open it and want to write a line of text inside. Then you save the file.
This is not possible with any program for docx files i tested.
I do not ask which file manager can write on sd card but what program can edit docx or xlsx files on sd card.
miro_j,
I am having similar issues with all editors:
Example: my editor of choice at the moment is Jota (wish Notetab Light had an Android version)
(external memory = SD Card, USB NAND device (flash drive by any other name), hard drive through powered hub, etc.)
Copy/Move file from external memory to internal memory
Edit file with Jota and save (internally)
Copy/Move from internal memory to external memory
(note that using the Copy option has the file manager changing the copied filename to *(number).*, which can be useful for versioning, since the previous file already exists)
To the others reading: his op has nothing to do with the file manager (except as a way to create an open file request) and everything to do with the rw permissions denied to the editor for the external device. Like me, he is wanting an environment similar to pre-KitKat where the user had full access to external devices (SD Card, USB, etc.). I know several File Managers have the option to manipulate files on external sources but they do NOT pass that same functionality to other apps (read yes, write no).
This is the main reason I want a reliable way to root my devices (I haven't found one that works with my RCA tablets yet, tablet only and tablet/PC methods have been tried), just to add the following/modify platform.xml:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
(or similar as needed)
I have also tried the platform.xml patch/update apps/zips from XDA and other sites but to no avail.
As a security fix, blanket denial is a bonehead maneuver. Having the system save function ask the user if the requested save action is permitted on a per event basis would alert the user when an app is trying to modify the external device in an unwanted manner (Program 'suchnsuch' is attempting to write file 'blahblablah.txt' to 'device': Allow Deny), the app could also have sandbox access to its special folder (as it is currently set in this post-Kitkat world). Allowing the user to encrypt the external device (mainly the SD Card) so it can be used as an extension of the main internal memory defeats the purpose since it is no longer portable/mobile (you have to reformat the SD Card to use it in another device which wipes it, making it a moot point for transferring data. So long and thanks for the missing permissions Mr. Google).
The sad thing about the special folder option is that if you haven't transferred the data out of it beforehand, the data within is wiped when you uninstall the app.

Friends,
I have searched through the threads and WIKI to try to find a way to get rid of the problem where when you are running programs from your storage card and use more than one, somehow the device starts to register the primary storage card as being on the device, and then treats the actual storage card as Storage Card 2. It's a big problem for me because now none of my programs from the storage card will run from what has now been relabelled "Storage Card 2" on the device. It seems to have something to do with the way the Microsoft programs automatically store to a card for Email and Internet explorer cookies.
I found the following procedure in the WIKI and tried to follow it, but I'm obviously not doing it right. It would probably be very helpful if I understood registry editing better, but I'm not sure what the exact pathnames are that I should follow to make the changes and follow the procedure below. Someone with more computer background would probably "just know." Specifically, how do I get to the IEM that is referred to below?
I would really be grateful if somehow who gets this could patiently explain exactly how to get into the right area of the registry. I don't want to screw up my device.
Thanks.
Phil Butin
Here are the instructions. I just need help being told how to find the IEM reg hack location referred to below, so I know what to change to "test."
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you are seeing Storage Card and Storage Card2 in your File Explorer, follow these steps to fix the problem:
1. Went into Messages-Menu-Tools-Options-Storage and unclicked 'Store attachments on storage card'.
2. Opened a Total Commander (or any other ?RegEdit Tool) and changed the IEM reg hack entires. In the cookies, cookies and history keys, I changed 'Storage Card' to 'test'.
3. Opened IE so that 'test' will be created in the root directory of the Mobile Device.
4. Soft reset.
5. Opened file explorer and deleted Storage Card from the root directory of the Mobile Device.
6. Soft reset. When rebooted, Storage Card 2 should be Storage Card.
7. Opened a Total Commander (or any other ?RegEdit Tool) and changed the IEM reg hack entires. In the cookies, cookies and history keys, I changed 'test' back to 'Storage Card'.
8. Deleted the IEM folder from Storage Card. (Didn't know if this was necessary but felt that it couldn't hurt).
9. Opened IE to create IEM on Storage Card.
10. Soft rest.
11. Deleted 'Test' from the root directory of the Mobile Device.
12. Performed the Reg Hack in this thread.
13. Sent the message attachments back to Storage Card.[/i][/i][/i]
easier Way to do this
Folks,
I found an easier way to do this. You can simply rename the "Storage Card" file in Internet Explorer and the device will then read the real storage card as "Storage Card" instead of "Storage Card 2." Of course, I am now stuck with a folder named "test" that I can't delete because it has a bunch of "index" system files in it. But so far, this seems like it fixed my major frustration.
If anyone wants to talk me through how to delete the new "test" file to get rid of the indexes, I would welcome that.
Thanks.
After using google and forum search a while I am stuck with this problem.
on my i9000 I want to move files like jpg files from certain appfolders to my external sd card.
I tried to use different File explorers and tried to move for example a picture from the program folder of the app "multicam" on the internal SD card to a new cerated Folder on the external SD Card.
whenever I try to cut & paste it onto ext SD card, it sant be moved or just does not paste it... depending on which file explorer I use. I have SU rights for my file explorers and can't find a way to move the files.
Some files on the internal SD can be COPIED and PASTED onto the external and after that I have to delete the original Files from the internal SD. But why is CUT & Paste not possible?
is there something like protection oder chmod things, that has to be payed attention to ?
thanks for any hints what I do have to look for on the search function of xda-dev or google...
I have the exact same problem. Copy and paste works but Cut and paste does not.
I have both I9000 and Asus Transformer and in both of them this does not work. It's very frustrating when you have to frequently move files.
It happens to me too. I can't move, just copy and paste. For me is not such a bad thing, it keeps adding a "false" sense of security of having backups.
It works using root explorer.
Thx for the tip... I tried root explorer now and this works quite well. Now you can copy/cut + paste from any folder to each folder you like to. There are 2 settings available: r/o and r/w... read only and read write.

Hi,
Just Got the 7.7 3g - so far so good. Screen is as good as they say
The extra resolution defn. helps with web browsing.
Not finding any lag really.
7.7 is just about the limit for my two handed use but i would say the original 7" was a wee bit easier to handle but something with time should become more intuitive.
Just a few issues - external sd card is somewhat limited. Might be deliberate by Samsung but does not make sense.
Normal user apps cant access to the external sdcard. Using connect bot, i checked permissions and it seems that it is mounted by the os with system permissions, where as the internal sdcard is mounted as sd_rw.
This can't be correct? The only way to copy stuff to it is to use the samsung system file explorer as it has system permissions So copy to internal first then to external - this sounds like a bug?
I have not rooted this yet - might then chown to sd_rw get rid of this ?? There is a lot of entries in the vold.fstab to make sense of. Not a hacker so just looking around. A bit too early to start soft-bricking
But I take these don't have protected bootloaders so thats why we can root ?
Video playback is v.good but I am not able to throw on a bluray m2ts file (obviously with the sd card issue) and play smoothly. I found Dice player can handle m2ts by renaming it to a ts file. It then can use hardware decoding. Still drops frames but still watchable to a certain degree. For all other files mx player is still best. I have lossy transcoded some "native" blurays clips and seems that it handle high profile h264 1080p at high bitrates very well. Hoping, formatting sd card ext3/ext4 will improve things.
On the whole very impressive device - plus more ics goodies to come soon hopefully.
I've noticed some issues with the external SD card as well. Only the stock file manager can copy files from the internal storage to the external storage. I was able to transfer files to the ext. SD via Dooblou's Wifi Explorer, though. Although that would crap out a few times.
I'm hoping that we see some new ROMs with a different file system at any rate. The 4GB limit is so 1998.

post #7
Requires root to apply fix.
There is a new permission that older file managers aren't asking for yet. The stock file manager knows to ask for it.
Fix worked for my P6810 wifi.

Simple solution for external sdcard write access on Android 3.2...if you're rooted
I've found a simple solution for gaining write access to the external sdcard (/mnt/sdcard2) on Android 3.2. The sdcard is mounted r/w, but the owning group is media_rw which is linked to the WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE permission. Unfortunately, this permission was not required for access to the external sdcard prior to 3.2 so most file management utilities do not request it when they run...meaning they only have read access to the card.
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.
After this change, any apps that request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission (which includes almost anything that access either of the sdcards) will gain group membership in both sdcard_rw AND media_rw, giving them r/w access to both sdcard filesystems.

I think you have to format the sd card in the tab. I been able to transfer files no problem. Maybe its due to the mtp for the internal sd.

Using downloaded apps or the stock File Manager app? Because I formatted the SD card in the Tab and nothing else can write to it. Now, I can drag and drop stuff from my computer via MTP, but that's not the same issue.
Ok, I'm trying to add the permission and it doesn't seem to save after a reboot. I'm rooted and made sure to mount that directory as R/W. After I edit platform.xml and reboot it simply reverts. Can anyone offer a more granular description to this n00b?
Thanks.
Edit: Nevermind. I edited the file on my computer and copied it over the original and am good to go.

Thanks Burhanistan. I had this problem too and did what you did to get around it. Now I can read/write to the external SD with any file explorer.
Hello,
I can access the external SD with no problem, only issue is Titanium backup showing 440Mb capacity on the external SD (32Gb card).
Anyone with the same issue? Any fix?
Thanks.

Things must have changed as i got my P6800 recently did the upgrade from samsung and tried to copy to external sd and no problem for me. I never tried to do it pre upgrade but maybe the upgrade fixed that. Re i can copy and paste to device from my pc when its connected - to both device and sd. I can also copy using the the stock file manager from device to sd card.
No Issues here also
I recieved the tap a week ago. Now my 32GB Sandisk SD is here.
The Tap did at the first startup and using the described 12 MB Android update via internet conn.
Until now there is no issue between writing from/to SD over PC/MTP, copying between internal and external SD. Used preinstalled Filemanager and ES File Ex.
I tried it unrooted and rooted but not before the Android update.

Some people are reporting the above procedure is no more needed, however, with several apps (like Titanium backup, and a SAMBA explorer), writing to the sdcard (extstorage/.../sdcard) is still impossible (GT6800 updated to latest samsung firmware).
I have used this procedure and can state that Titanium backup works now with the SD card.
Thanks to many reading within the XDA forum, I have found this simpler procedure :
- download / install the "Root Browser Lite" app from the android market
- add write access to group and other to the following directory: /system, /system/etc, /system/etc/permissions (with root browser Lite, press on the directory name during 3 seconds to get a contextual menu allowing to change the permissions)
- add write access to group and other to the file platform.xml in /system/etc/permissions
- use the editor of "Root Browser Lite" to modify the file platform.xml as described above (you should have two <group gid= ...> lines within the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE xml block.)
- save the file. Verify that a .bak file has been created and that the date of platform.xml changed.
- remove the write access.
- Turn off the GTAB, then turn it ON.
NB: Titanium backup still reports a erronous free size on the SD card (401MB), but backups on the sdcard work.

Hi, I edit the file but when I try to save it I fail because it says original saved as .....xlm.bak, but I can't find that file and the one I find is unchanged, any ideas?
There is an automated installer for the fix here:

Is for the plus but worked fine for me
Sent from my SCH-I815 using Tapatalk
damm, must forget something, just followed exacty all the steps
still no writing on sd card
the automatic installer failed also
IS there a way to go into the (forgive the incorrect term) "registry" or similar, and have Android re-interpret/understand that instead of looking in "/sdcard"... it should instead look/point programs to "/mnt/sdcard/extstorages/sdcard"...
i heard that it might be called something like a "simlink" or "symbolic link"... maybe this could resolve the application installation issue to the sdcard as well as backups, transfers, etc... right now, not only do i run out of space too fast, can't install apps to the sd card, but as well, if i should run a hard reset... all my data erases! (yes, the internal "SD card" is erased in a hard reset)...
so, for all practical senses, when it says it will erase data, unless you KNOW you have copied ALL you user data to your "Real" SD Card, you will kill your data without even knowing it when you do a hard reset, even if you "thought" you were protected because "I saved my info to the SD card!"
(and yes, this was my experience today, so it's a fact.)
backup programs won't point to the sd card, (app manager, titanium, app list backup, etc)...
so unless you actively move files individually to the card (and know where to look)...
Bottom line... is there a hack/workaround on this that's not just "open up for file transfers" or is someone working on a ROM that might kill the partitioning and allow the /sdcard to actually point to a real external card?

hi forum
i would like to use the EzyKernel v1 - 23/02/2012 as in post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513413&highlight=ezykernel
one of the prerequisites is a stock ZSKL firmware.
on the tab is/was XXKL4 AUT/CH
i successfully flashed the ZSKL2 - but that's where the nightmare started: i could not write to sdcard, busybox/superuser don't work properly, as i can't get root via su - which means to me, that there are messed up accessrights also in other places, not just the SD. the funny thing is, that i finally got the overclocking EzyKernel working, but not busybox + superuser.
does that sound familiar to anyone ?
i would really appreciate any ideas about this.
thank you
with best regards from switzerland

could you please explain what "make sure you have mounted the file system r/w" means. And sorry for my noob question, but does this fix allow to install apps on the external sd card or I'm missing something.
This requires root.
You'll need to disable Sony RIC if your kernel doesn't do that:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable
Using a root enabled file explorer, remount /system as rw.
Edit /etc/permissions/platform.xml
Find this block:
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
Change it to
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="media_rw" />
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
Reboot
This probably applies to all 4.4 devices, except the Sony specific RIC part.

If you haven't noticed them, chances are you don't need this.
KitKat prevents app from writing freely to the SD card, although I agree with this for the internal SD card, it makes no sense for the external one since that's a place most users download songs/videos/movies to, and chances are that stuff isn't sensitive data.
This allows you to revert that change, and all apps with WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE can write to the SD card again.
Apparently this fix is already packaged into an app, not sure if it works, if it doesn't, chances are you need to manually disable RIC first as per above.

not easy to explain but ill try
Apps cannot write to the sd card unless they have a specific folder on the sd card which only that app can write to.
Apps like File commander are now useless when it comes to moving stuff round the SD Card as file commander is restricted to read access only on the sd card.
hope that makes sense
Okay I understand. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
I disabled ric with custom kernel and double checked file,
but I got many "Permission denied" from apps writes to SD card.
Default one works fine, so maybe my installed apps don't need this tweak...

File commander isn't good enough. It won't take files from my nas using ftp or webdav. For that I have to use ES, but ES can't store the files on my external sd any more. It's rubbish. How is this any kind of improvement, it's like ios

Stock apps aren't affected by this, there's a permission that allows full access but I think it's limited to system apps.
I updated the first post, the sdcard_rw and sdcard_r gids should not be removed, that breaks the camera, instead, media_rw should be added.
well this explains why i cannot use titanium backup to create a backup to my sd card
So does this mean that only file commander is allowed to transfer media files (photos, videos) from internal to SD and vice versa?

Hello everyone,
I am using Elephone p7000 Android 5.0 Lollipop
I want to set my default application installation location to external sd card instead of the phone's internal memory.
For this i landed on an internet page which says as follows :
Beginning with API Level 8, you can allow your application to be installed on the external storage (for example, the device's SD card). This is an optional feature you can declare for your application with the "android:installLocation" manifest attribute. If you do not declare this attribute, your application will be installed on the internal storage only and it cannot be moved to the external storage.
To allow the system to install your application on the external storage, modify your manifest file to include the android:installLocation attribute in the <manifest> element, with a value of either "preferExternal" or "auto". For example:
<manifest xmlns:android="http : // schemas . android . com/ apk / res/android"
android:installLocation="preferExternal"
... >
Therefore,
I wanted to know which program should i use to execute the above commands or if it is possible to do the above operation in the Virtuous Ten Studio and how to do it.
I would really appreciate your help in this regards as i very badly need to install applications on my Micro SD card instead of the internal memory.
Thanking you,

I suggest you use xinternalSD but you must have exposed to make it work for you. after installing open storage path and write /storage/sdcard1 after that reboot your phone...come back to open the app and select enable all apps. or better still you can just click on the enable apps and tick the apps you want to be written to sd card. thanks

This is an optional feature you can declare for your application with the "android:installLocation" manifest attribute. If you do not declare this attribute, your application will be installed on the internal storage only and it cannot be moved to the external storage.
To allow the system to install your application on the external storage, modify your manifest file to include the android:installLocation attribute in the <manifest> element, with a value of either "preferExternal" or "auto". For example:
<manifest xmlns:android="http : // schemas . android . com/ apk / res/android"
android:installLocation="preferExternal"
... >
Therefore,
I wanted to know which program should i use to execute the above commands or if it is possible to do the above operation in the Virtuous Ten Studio and how to do it.
I would really appreciate your help in this regards as i very badly need to install applications on my Micro SD card instead of the internal memory.
Thanking you,
Regards,
