Hi friends,

Forgive my ignorance, but will this module enable, say, exfat support on a rom that doesn't support it natively? Thanks for any and all feedback
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
No, no file system drivers are changed. This gives your apps only the permission to write to the extern storage
[Xposed Framework Modules] blankingblank:
Thanks for the answer friend. So if I understand correctly, then the camera or gallery app could save pics to the ext SD using this module? The module pictures2sd does this already but sounds like this one could do that and more no?

Is it needed at all? I'm using a Nexus 7 wIht Android 6 *without* this module. I have'nt noticed andy problems accessing storage - but the apps have to be Marshmallow compatible and requested the permissions (with a dialog at 1st start) and you allowed it
[Xposed Framework Modules] maumaus:
I do think it's needed. In marshmallow if the apps request storage it's only for internal and data-map on external SD.

(At least on my Samsung S7)

For example. I can't use Opera to download to extsd -> download. Which would be great.

[MENTION=1144590]maumaus[/MENTION]: Sorry, no S7 to test here :(

Either way thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep checking the thread. Maybe in the near future there will be a method :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
[MENTION=1144590]maumaus[/MENTION]: With nexus 7 i've not noticed problems, but maybe because of the lack of a sdcard, only internal

I am on a rooted Sony Z5 Compact running Android 6.0, Xposed Framework 3.0 alpha4, and HandleExtrernalStorage 1.1.0.

I use DroidEdit a lot and with this module, when I use it with root mode, I am able to write directly on the SD card. On the other hand, Titanium Media Sync can't create folders on my SD card. I would like to sync one from a cloud service to my external Storage, but with TMS it always shows an Error

[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
[MENTION=1144590]maumaus[/MENTION]: Your links dont work.

For Marshmallow nothing of this is needed, except for not updated apps. Every app needs to request permission for storage by itself.

See "Requesting Permissions at Run Time": https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
[Xposed Framework Modules] maumaus:
Hi Defim

We already discussed this few months ago. (http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-handleexternalstorage-t2693521/page19)

This is needed for external storage. The request permission is only voor internal memory not external SDcard.

There is a way if the app implementes a Document-Provider option... But can be very slow.

Sorry for the URLs. Is now fixed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
No, you could also select sdcard (tested by myself on S4 with CM13)

I've also read "document provider is slow". But for me it seems everyone writes it just because someone other wrote it before. There was no test/news yet about it (i noticed).

So what it means? 1% drop? 99% drop? "But can be very slow" means in some conditions there is no speed drop at all?
[Xposed Framework Modules] maumaus:
Tested with what? An app? Isn't it possible CM13 has added writing to external SD in there Rom? It's a custom rom for a reason.

All I can say is I couldn't write to external SD with my apps. For example 'Opera' has storage permission but couldn't write to external SD.

Now with the mentioned Xposed-module I can.

As for the speed. Maybe you're right.

But for me with the file managers Solid Explorer and Root Explorer which uses document-provider... It is very slow to me in comparison with my s4 on lollipop with external SD access.

(same sd card). But I agree that isn't a good way to test it.

Anyways. My message was for people with the same problem in your thread. I hope it can help someone as it helped me. That's all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
[MENTION=1144590]maumaus[/MENTION]: tested with all apps i i usally use, are about 300 installed with preinstalled.

The only app with problems was AppMonster, the author did not update but instead published new app for Marshamllow which works. I dont think CM13 does special things wiht sdcard. But not much investigated, as there where no problems :)

Different speeds on different devices with the same sdcard could be caused by internal storage speed or whatever destination you use to copy
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dethfull:
You can force your apps to handle certain data to sd, using foldermount, binding that data to, or creating disk images with dd, and mounting on sdcard, or using link2sd, (NOTE: link2sd works perfectly on well polished rooted 5.0+ phones, with purged gapps, [all that is from google]) That is all. :thumbup:
[Xposed Framework Modules] maumaus:
OK. Well on my Marshmallow version on S7 it's the opposite. Looking on xda and the existence of the modules suggest I ain't the only one. Maybe it's bad programming from one or the other... The modules give me full write on external SD and fixes my problems. And that's all that matters to me. ACR, Opera, Mega and others couldn't write to external SD before (expect there own data map) but now they can.

And the speed can be a lot of things. I understand.

But it's the same app with same locations.

Only difference is s4 lollipop -> s7 Marshmallow. It's just my experience.

Anyway, thanks for your work! :)

[MENTION=6432112]Old Jimbo[/MENTION]: I never had more than 1 partitions. How does Android handle it? Not sure if the same permissions apply to it
[Xposed Framework Modules] Old Jimbo:
In settings -> storage, the external sd card is shown to have only half of the real capacity, 29.5GB out of 59GB, that correponding to the 1st partition (SDCARD1). Nothing about the 2nd partition (sdext2). Using a file manager, I can access the 2nd partition, copy or move file to/from it to/from the 1st partition or to the internal sd card (Internal storage). The issue appears when I try to create or modify a file on the 2nd partition...

... but in the next dialog, I don't have the option to select the 2nd partition...

I believe it's a lollipop issue but I don't know how to handle it. Any thoughts? :confused:

[MENTION=6432112]Old Jimbo[/MENTION]: Seems Android uses onyl 1st parition. Why you dont delete all partitions (eg with pc) and create a single?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Old Jimbo:
Ok, I'll stop looking for a solution.

At the beginning was only one partition but i thought that, similar to harddisks, it's better to have partitions for a lesser data fragmentation and thus increasing access speed. So, I've partitioned my 64GB microsd (59GB actually) in two partitions of 29.5GB each.

Thanks for your reply! :good:

Fragmentation is not an issue with solid state drives (SD cards included) since there are no moving parts.

[MENTION=4784771]Zeuszoos[/MENTION]: Not needed for Android 6, see my post #204 and some other before
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zeuszoos:
Actually, it is for some apps. If the app has not been updated for MM, you won't get prompted for that screen that makes you "Select" the root of your Ext SD, after you have told the app to save it downloads, or whatever to a chosen folder located on the Ext SD.

In fact, right now I have two apps that I need to use, that cannot write to the External SD Card and say that when I try to point their "Save To" setting to it and that screen (mentioned above) never pops up.

But they wrote to it fine on Jelly Bean and KitKat (after I applied the "SD Fix" patch). So it is a Marshmallow thing.

I know you must get a lot of emails/posts from folks that just don't know somethkng about whatever issue that one of your apps addresses, but trust me, I would not be writing to you, if I wasn't having an actual issue. :)

I did find a different solution to the problem though. A Flashable Zip.

Quick question:

I have a tablet that has just 8mb of internal storage. I have a big SD card in there, but as I am Lollipop I can't move much there. The result is that the memory is now full, and I can only install apps by deleting those already on there.

Years ago, I have a phone with this problem and used APP2SD to move the whole app to the SD card.

Can I do this with this module?

What I want to do is move an app, and all it's data to the SD card and yet it still "just works".

How do I do it? Use the normal "move to SD card option" in system settings, or do I have to use a root file explorer to move it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Is there something special with the S4+TouchWiz depending the sd access? Are other permissions needed too?
[Xposed Framework Modules] body150165:
I was afraid that sooner or later somebody ask me for logcat. Long time ago, I installed it and tried and had no clue what I am doing. It will take me some time to learn how to handle it as I also don't know if sensitive data are logged which I don't want to publish. So, don't expect a quick solution for that.

Besides that, I don't think that Touchwiz asks for additional permissions. I wonder that not more S4 users run into this problem. I will check platform.xml and the media permissions and let you know. That's what I can do at the moment.
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:

Nothing that should affect the external sd card. But I can turn Android Tuner off and run a log and test. Would that be of any help?

I edited platform.xml according to this article: http://www.galaxys4manual.com/sd-card-writing-error-samsung-galaxy-s4-fix/

Screenshot of the edited platform.xml attached.

Now I have write access to the external sd card. Titanium Backup Pro works fine with writing to external sd.

I think your module only adds the line <group gid=”sdcard_rw” /> to the file as I saw it before I edited it?

For the S4 (or in general?) the line <group gid=”media_rw” /> has to be added under the line <group gid=”sdcard_rw” />

Can you please check and eventually update your module?

Not sure if this would hurt other devices

UPDATE: DON'T MODIFY THE PLATFORM.XML!!!

On my phone, I lost Bluetooth and got error messages, , which made the phone unusable. Believe me! Even replacing the modified xml with the original didn't help!

Only recover a Nandroid backup helped. Take it serious, , ok?

Kind regards

[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
The module does not change any files, it's done only in memory, so you could not see it in the file

It adds "media_rw" to "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

why it could not work:

- As you are using a TouchWiz device, maybe Samsung reads the file with an own method

- Or some other GIDs are missing for some permissions
