Hi there,
I can't grant SD write permission to any app - file managers (ES FIle Explorer, Solid Explorer) or otherwise. Tapping "Grant access" goes to a screen that only shows Recents and nothing else. I tap the three dots on the top right, and they seem to toggle between -Show & Hide SD card'.
But no SD Card ever shows below the 'Recent' and so I can't give any app write access to the SD card.
How are people addressing this on a non-rooted US S7E. Am I missing something?
Thanks a ton for any help.
Ok figured out the answer.
Was using the Basic version of Package Disabler Pro - which had com.android.externalstorage disabled. Re-enabled, rebooted and all's good. Duh.
Hope it helps someone else.

I tried to use SGS Tools to push the stock email apk from the Galaxy tab and it failed due to "not enough space." I tried to push the stock email back with SGS tools and it says success but force closes when open, and the icon has the green @ on it. I have tried to put back a saved copy I had but it seems I'm missing the email.odex file. I have one but every time I try to push it, it comes back saying "not enough space."
Any thoughts? Starting to freak a little...need email for work!
This one should work.
You need to use Root Explorer from the market if you don't already have it. Once you put the attachment onto your sd card go into R.E. and click on sd card. Scroll down to email.apk (longpress) then click on move. Hit the back button twice, click on system, then app and click paste. One last step, long press it again and click on permissions the first one should have both read & write checked the remaing two should just have the read checked.
Push the email.apk to system/app and assign proper permissions. If no big deal for you, reflash the rom. My 2c.

Just push it to system/app like it is without an email.odex?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
If you follow my steps above you shoudn't have a problem. I also tried to use the Gtab email and got stuck and of course from SGS Tools it won't let you revert back like it states.

Okay that one worked, however I can't connect to my outlook with it. I double checked to make sure the server is up and it is. So...I guess it doesn't actually work lol.
Anyone able to maybe copy their email.odex and I can try putting that in there???
Sorry, I'm not sure what to do in that case. Good luck, I'm sure someone can help.
I think I figured it out. SGS Tools made me download and install a different Busybox from the market. Using the android terminal emulator I keyed in:
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
Went back to Titanium Backup and used the Problems? button to re-install busybox, then moved the email.odex and email.apk and I'm back up and running! Hopefully if anyone else ever has a issue like this you can learn from my mistakes...or just do your research before trying to push something new to your phone that you know nothing about...
Good to know, glad you got it working.

I have the same issue. I fixed permissions with Rom Manager, rebooted and the email worked fine for about 5 minutes then it started FCing again. I liked the tab email and would like to keep it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this FC issue?
b u m p
email app is a battery hog... but i still use it anyway..
So I am trying to load a couple of apks I have and it's been no go. On my Epic I usually just dropbox, open, and install. I tried that and initially got the security message. That is already taken care of via nookcolor tools. So that isn't the issue. My issue is every time I go to install I go to Astro, open the file via the "open app manager," it takes me to the info install page...I click install and it loads into the package installer, excellent...and then it just stalls and the progress bar runs and runs but never progresses. This has happened with every apk I have now tried.
Okay...so I figured I'd just go the little more involved (very little, no need to be that lazy, right) route and adb install. Well carp. All goes well, I adb install blahblah.apk and it starts rolling..."570kb blah..etc pkg /blah/temp/blah"...and just hangs there...never to give me the gratifying "success" message. Again, I have tried this with different apks that I know work and the same results. I restored to stock and rerooted, just in case. Same
I am running stock rooted (manualnooter) at this point, just got the nook day before yesterday (one of the many who jumped at the refurbs). Market apps download fine. I'm a blue dot, if that makes any diff. Likely not but meh.
I have searched and googled and not found the answers...but I know I am missing something elementally simple. My luck I'll look like an idiot and it will be a "did you check to see if you had any gas?" broken down car scenario. I'm okay with that, as long as I'm running again. I'm pretty sure I checked all the out of gas scenarios but I likely missed one or two so... any help is much appreciated. Thanks a ton...
I should know better than trying to write before coffee
Well, My answer is not a "check gas" answer. It's pretty dang weird.
1. Download ES Explorer from the market.
2. Start ES Explorer, hit Menu>Settings. Goto Root Options (NEW) and tick both check boxes. Hit allow when it asks you to.
3. Go back twice, until you see your sd card contents. Find the APK on there and select and hold. Hit copy and then hit the 1st button on the row of buttons (it's an icon of an sd card OR a Home icon) If you see a data folder, go in to it. If not, hit the 1st button again.
3. Once in the data folder, go into the app folder. Pull up the little white tab on the bottom. Tap the APK you wanted to install. It will copy. Once you see the APK's icon in the folder, hit the home button and restart. That should have installed it but it is a slow method. Note that you can Multi-Select APK's by pressing the Multi-select button and pasting them all in the /data/app/ folder.
are you sure you have side loading checked
Settings > applications should be the top box.

I think he already took care of that. And he is on stock, so there is no Applications setting.
ikingblack, thank you, thank you!
Not sure why but by doing this it somehow unsnafued the package installer as well (fingers crossed). I went through your instructions with a known good apk that would not install for anything before. And there it was after the copy, paste reboot etc. Not too much to ask for...still was confused as to the why of the normal package installer method not working. So I decided to give it (package inst) a go with another known working apk (I had just tested it on my epic) that previously wouldn't install, repeatedly, and now it installed just like it should. Scratching my head in wonder. It shouldn't be the reboot, as I have do so many times...the only difference is the install instructions and adding ES (I'm leaving astro behind I think). All I know is it is working and I am a happy camper (tent is in the back yard...) Thanks again! cheers!
Sure. Also, you can select all the APK's using the 2-file icon at the top and tapping the APKs, then press-and hold on one of the APk's and then go to data app, and keep tapping the APK's you wanna copy. And then reboot. Enjoy your Nook!
Thanks for this, it fixed it, but I don't know why.
I suffered this issue on my dell streak.
It was working fine a couple of days ago when I installed GetJar.
Suddenly today for no reason I can determine:
All APK's I tried the install button in the package installer was not grayed out, but it would not respond when pressed.
I've just been setting up my streak again and installing a lot of software. I'm guessing something must of gone wrong.
Someone on another post suggested JuiceDefender may have caused it but I've not installed that recently.
In my case I did:
(1) Installed esFileExplorer
(2) Copied an apk to the folder /data/app/ as described above
(3) restarted the phone
This did not install the app for me.
(4) Tried running the apk file again. Suddenly the Install button is clickable again?! The app then installed just fine.
(5) Tried a different apk (without copying to /data/app/)
Now that will install fine?!
This is really weird. I can't replicate the issue now (which is good!)
but I also can't tell which action fixed it.
As said above it may have been installing esfileexplorer and giving it root access.
It may have been the act of copying the file that reset something.
It wasn't the reboot, at lease not on its own as i'd already tried it.
Regardless, thanks for the info.
If anyone sees this issue again you might want to just try installing esfileexplorer and see if apk's will then install.
This might help us identify which bit of the process is creating the fix.
Just found another suggestion if anyone is interested:
Some suggests using the 'Fix permissions' option of Titanium Backup. I have no way to test this.
got my nook yesterday, registered,and ready to go...
the e-ink is really good on my eyes and i'm lovin it...
now to what i'm here for..
as everyone i want to hack my nst for a better e reading experience, a li'l browsing, a few gud themes and a few games.
i want some help in doing it. i could have gone through the forums but there being many, it really is a bit hard to choose the right one and in right order. i would like anyone of you to share the links in order of it supposed to be done, i.e. backing up my default files and then to hacking etc. a video tutorial link would be more appreciated. As i have some of my books scanned, suggest a reader to read scanned pdfs after hacking...
and of course i'm not a regular hacker,except that i have hacked my psp once so no problem getting along with the instructions...
Expecting a few gud responses, thanQ

TouchNooterwill take care of the rooting. Do a backup before you do anything else.

k,thanks a lot. I rooted my nook successfully
Now to make backup of my factory files, I tried the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142983 which guides me to backup my files. but the noogie.img link does not have any download in that thread. what really is noogie and please give me an alternate link to noogie.img.
thanks
harunaku
You need to follow the redirect link on NookDevs. The page has been moved. noogie.img is available from that page.
thanks again, i'm done with backing up too.
now, i couldn't find a way to install the first app in the nook memory. of course u can use file manager, but there's no file manager preinstalled, is there? how to get to that apk file?

Wait... are you trying to do the manual rooting process? There are automated rooters. Noogie is used to backup and root manually (if you want to).

Assuming you used the latest TouchNooter, Super Manager should work. I think SM is new from the version of TN that I last used.
Or, once Market is working, download your favorite.

my doubts dont seem to be ending any soon....
-i'm done with everything, even market's working. but i couldn't search in market. when i type in search box and enter - no response...
-i managed to find 'file manager'' in top free app list and installed it. now when i try to install the apks in micro sd card, it says 'for security,ur phone is set to block non android sourced apps',though i checked 'allow non market apps' in nook color tools. suggest me a way to install the apps in card.
-the market shows the apps with $ pricing, how to make it regional?
-sometimes while swiping to scroll, the page goes to the end all the way...
-after rooting the wifi is disconnecting frequently
thanks in advance...

That seems to be a problem some people have and others don't. What version of the B&N firmware are you running?

Sounds like you need to allow 3rd party apps. Launch NookColor Tools, then toggle the Allow Non-Market Apps settings off and back on. Then try again.

Those aren't really rooting issues.

This may be related to the B&N firmware version you're running. Apparently, the NST v1.1.0 has known problems with some 802.11n networks, WPA2 settings and various other random wifi issues. I don't believe TN touches wifi, so it shouldn't have changed.
would you say go ahead, if i say i'm gonna restore the factory settings with the backup and root again?
and yes, i rooted with the latest touchnooter (the link u posted)
So I got a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 WiFi only but my car has hot spot built in so I connect the tab to the hot spot
This Tab is not a power house and I'm ok with that I just want to keep in my car for maps and navi and some other little things like that. But how do I run the Waze APP on it when I look it up in play store I get a not compatible with this device??? Any chance I can side load the APK if I root it?
Signed,
wazed and confused
Dont have to be rooted. Enable unknown sources in security section in settings.
Heres the apk. I just downloaded it on the s4 and uploaded. Put it on your sd card, navigate to it with file manager and tap it and press install
https://www.dropbox.com/s/egarifv38u0325n/com.waze-1.apk
Whether it works or not dunno. reviews on playstore have people saying because their tab has no carrier

You have to be rooted. Just download and install it on a rooted device and with a file explorer go to /data/app and all your free market apps will be there. Your paid apps are in /data/app-asec/ but their not in apk format. But if you use a app to back them up to sd card itll save them in apk format.

Very Cool. Thank you it works perfect.....
I'm very very new with OP phones. I just bought(or better it's arrived) yesterday my first OP. well I have the OP5 128/8. I have soon rooted it without no problems. I have installed the TWRP, and then magisc. through check rooter everuthing seems fine. now, I wanted to move an app, (fake GPS joystick) to system app, because of that boring may security patch. I used ES explorer, and I thought that everything went good. sadly when I open the app(that should be system) I cannot use it as a system app, sone option is locked on of... does someone may know the possible problem for this?

Try using this app to convert it to system app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
ok thank you, well I tried, I granted superuser acces to the app, but when I tried to turn it in a system app it tells me Failed. and then this error occours.
mount: '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system'->'/system': Device or resource busy
There is a flashable version of the app linked on there facebook-page.
https://dgsmartstudio.github.io/faq/assets/FakeGps-v2.3.zip
Uninstall your version of Fake GPS and flash this version of the app. Go to the app-settings and mark the Root-Modus.
Now it should work fine ?
oh thank you very much I'm trying this, but it seems that fly gps is a better app, you may know also somewhere to install the zip of that app? anyway I'm going to try to check for that app
EDIT: your solution worked perfectly thank you lordHelmchen89
