No I've used it and never had any issues until I used the module. It happened on of my phone and tablets. Maybe a coincidence?? Not really sure but with it disabled I haven't had one disconnect.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jacknicholson:
For those experiencing issues with their memory cards, try using chkdsk on your computer. It's possible that the extra write load on your external memory may simply be revealing preexisting problems (which, of course, wouldn't be this module's fault).

[MENTION=5738262]meanoc[/MENTION]: This modules adds only 1 right while reading permissions at startup. So it could not harm anything anything. The worst what could happen is, that the addition right could not be added
[Xposed Framework Modules] LitoNi:
havent fully tested it yet but it seems to work fine here:

Xperia Z C6603 on Stock 4.4.2 (Leaked Version), with 64GB micro sd card

it works on all my apps so far except for 1-2 that i have encountered, photo grid doesnt seem to allow it either way. i guess it also depends on the app itself whether the developer has it loosely enabled or strictly enforced the rule upon their apps.

edit: just tested it and works flawlessly.

working now: sms backup: could write into sd card, Root Explorer: could access the files through the computer if they are created by root explorer. those two didnt work for me earlier until i installed this module.

for those who are experiencing issues, either try disabling other modules to see if they are causing conflicts, if not then it is most likely the OEM's fault. There were some things where it worked for me without this module so it could really be how much the OEM have embedded the rule into their phones.

Thx [MENTION=4628622]LitoNi[/MENTION] , most reports here are about problems :cool:
[Xposed Framework Modules] meanoc:
Well after trying to figure out why I was having soo many problems I finally found the answer. A while ago I had bought link2sd which was a total fiasco but I don't want to even think about it. Well turns out that somehow the play store was trying to d/l and install it even though it doesn't install. Well it does indeed do something when it tries to install. So after I figured this out I did a clean rom install and disabled wifi and zero problems finally :)

It wasn't handleexternalstorage that was causing my problems and I apologize to you for thinking it did :good:

Any errors in xposed log? Does the old way modifying platform.xml work? Are there additional changes to media_rw needed?
[Xposed Framework Modules] portamento:
I just checked the log, but I think that it's too late, since I deactivated the mod half a day before. I couldn't find anything related to your mod. Sorry.

Editing platform.xml file worked. I only needed to add the line <group gid="media_rw" /> under <permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >.

Thanks for your support ?

crashing app

Ever since I installed this, my Business Calendar app, along with two others, keeps crashing. I uninstalled them and then reinstalled but they still crash. So I uninstalled this exposed app. I still have no solution. How can I fix the apps so that they are back to their original state?
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
Back to original state: disable (or deinstall) the module and reboot

As you installed yet, this module should not related
[Xposed Framework Modules] jpculp:
Ever since I upgraded to 4.4.3 this module no longer works. No FCs or anything; it APPEARS to be working as normal, but none of my apps can write to the external storage like they did in 4.4.2. Changing the permissions.xml works, so I figured I'd bring it to your attention.
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
Thx for reporting.

I have still no device with needs this, so i can't test myself and have to check the sources, but not yet availabel with sdk manager

(And you don't forget to reinstall xposed after upgrading to 4.4.3?)
[Xposed Framework Modules] jpculp:
I wiped the phone and started fresh when I updated (reinstalling xposed and the modules). I'm somewhat of a novice, but if you need logs or something let me know. Since only GPe devices will be affected for a while I wouldn't lose sleep over it :)

I'm still using 4.4.2 on Z1 C6903 build 14.3.A.0.757 and have installed this off Xposed.

I have tried editing music tracks using my computer last night and it wouldn't let me using the media app or windows explorer. Is this app supposed to fix that or is it not working because the computer bypasses the app (as I suspect)?
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
It's possible. How tried you to access the sdcard?

Sorry I don't understand the question. I just plugged it into pc as usual, think standard mtp and access through windows explorer.

[Xposed Framework Modules] smartphonedude:
Hello I look through the nine pages and there wasn't really a clear answer for this. I'm sorry if this has been answered before I just wanted to clear things up. Will this allow me to download my apps directly on my sd card or move the apps to it after it's dowloaded? I tried ROM toolbox, but I couldn't find the option that was't only for Android 2.2. This app did make my SD card become writable for Titanium Backup, but was really hoping to utilize it for saving the apps directly. Any help or info would be awesome, thanks. FYI I'm currently on a One M8 running GPE 4.4.3
[Xposed Framework Modules] egingell:
It has been discussed. This *only* fixes the SD card permissions. It does not alter any paths.

I've installed this module in my Nexus 5 with 4.3.3 update.

At the first time the module didn't work. So I ended messing up with the file platform.xml and got the force close warnings.

I had to do a factory restore.

After that I've installed the module again and now it works!

Now I can write to my external sdcard.

Great work! Thanks! :)

Got Titanium to backup to ext. SD card

In the end I downloaded NextApp's "SDFix KitKat Writable" from the play store and ran it on my rooted GNote 3 (AT&T), rebooted and TiBU is now allowing me to backup to my external SD card again.

I tried XPosed and suggested module but this did not do the trick for me.

Just wanted to share my 2 cents.

not working on GN2

[On rooted Note 2, 4.4.2, I tried this module and also tried the platform.xml edit, and in both cases, my apps can write to SD, but when I reboot the phone, the files/folders are lost.

Example: Activate this module. Reboot. Create a folder on SD and copy a file into it using ES. Reboot the phone again, and the file and folder are gone!!

Driving me crazy...]

Turns out my SD card went bad, and is now read-only. This app is working on Sprint GN2.

hi

thanks for this great mod!

if i understand correctly it changes /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/ directory permissions from rwx --- --- to rwx rwx --- ?

any chance it can do the same with /mnt/media_rw/ and /mnt/media_rw/usbdisk/

they only have rwx --- --- permission and i allways have to change /mnt/media_rw/ permissions to rwx --x --- each time a reboot my phone because one of my apps needs it :/

anyway thanks again :)

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 KitKat 4.4.2

Hi,

I recently used TowelRoot (reminder to donate) to root my Samsung Note 3-it seems to have worked. Rootchecker says yes, titanium backup says yes, xposed framework and all the tweaks I've done says yes. I think we've established that the phone is indeed rooted.

I want to be able to write backups through titanium to my SDCard. Not the emulated sdcard that is just the stupidest thing I've ever heard of..but the 64GB sdcard that I've purchased to hold all my personal data.

So, I get a "not writable" folder error whenever I browse to the ExtSdCard within Titanium. I found the "fix" media_rw within the platform.xml file and manually implemented it. Nope didn't work. After reboot I get the same "non-writable" error when trying to set the backup location to me ExtSdCard directory.

OK, I thought, being a noober I prolly did it wrong. So I went back to platform.xml (what I did looked fine to me) and removed the media_rw entry from the platform.xml file. save, reboot, all is back to square one.

Then I install the HandleExternalStorage module to xposed and rebooted, then enabled it and rebooted again. Of course since I am posting this you've prolly guessed that didn't work either.

I would love ANY suggestions ANYONE has on how to get the ExtSdCard writeable through titanum..without having access to it it's kinda useless.

Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
If changing manually the xml file (correctly) does not work, this moule should also not work. Maybe some Samsung/TouchWiz special
[Xposed Framework Modules] tboooe:
I also used Towelroot on my ATT Note 3 running 4.4.2 and had the same issue with Titanium Backup and my external SD. This mod worked for me no problems. I didnt do anything special.
[Xposed Framework Modules] gorman42:
Yup, same for me here. Note 3, rooted with towelroot. Tried the Xposed module, nothing happened. Tried SDfix Kitkat Writable and I was able to access the SD "normally".

Thanks just the same to the developer for thinking about a solution (that helped many others).
[Xposed Framework Modules] shadowofdarkness:
I tried your module on a rooted stock Galaxy S5 and it doesn't work but when I manually edit the platform.xml file using instructions that makes the same change you did plus another modified section it does work. I would really like all my mods done by xposed so could you add the other change to your module.

The instructions I followed that did work.

http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/233jqf/tutorial_how_to_writecopydownload_to_the_external/
[Xposed Framework Modules] m0han:
please explain "another modified section" and "the other change". the link is not working atm. thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] shadowofdarkness:
That's strange it is still working for me but is just another addition in WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE

Here is a copy and paste from the post

You can download an app from the play store, I think there are a few out there. Or you can do it yourself following the steps below.

First you must be rooted. Second must have a file explorer. I personally use ES File Explorer so the steps below will be covering that file explorer.

1.) Open ES File Explorer.
2.) Open the Tools Menu.
3.) Make sure Root Explorer is turned on and long press over the name "Root Explorer".
4.) A sub-menu pops up, select Mount R/W. (if you don't do this the changes you make will not stick.) The next menu that pops up, you want to make /system RW by selecting the radio button.
5.) You then want to navigate to /system/etc/permissions.
6.) Scroll down and find platform.xml and make a copy of it and save it somewhere.
7.) Open the original file with ES Note Editor and then press the menu (the 3 vertical dots) to edit.

8.) Make the following changes

<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>

9.) Save the changes you make.

10.) Before you exit, check the permissions of the edited platform.xml. They should be (rw-/r–/r–).

11.) Reboot your phone and enjoy being able to download/write/copy to your external SD card again. :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] m0han:
could you do a favour? could you install this script and do a backup?

check whether the backup is being saved on external/internal sd card. thanks in advance.
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
Thanks for the link! I've added WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE to the module, please try attached file. At reboot it logs some to the Xposed logfile. The results lenghts should be 2 and 3, with my KK CM device original lengths where 1 and 3 (access was available before)

If it does not work, the "physical" file is read somewhere, but the module hooks only where AOSP-Android reads the file...
[Xposed Framework Modules] shadowofdarkness:
I did try the updated version and it didn't work, so you're right about the physical file being read at another time the your module hooks. Would you be able to figure out how to fix it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
No, I use no TouchWiz etc, so my S4active has still 4.2 (Google Editon)... I suppose it is read somewhere in the manufacturer added parts - an there is no source I think

Btw, did both lengths changed?
[Xposed Framework Modules] shadowofdarkness:
My xposed log was flooded from multiple modules so I never had time to read through the whole thing to look.
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
Yes, its hard to see which lines are from which module. I proposed some time ago that Xposd should tag the lines, but rovo did not like it because the modules should not use the log

Slight problem when using symlinks.

I have a rooted S5 Mini running 4.4.2, and still use the old version of AppMonster (v0.8.3). It uses the directory "appmanager" on the internal SD-card. I wanted to make it use the external SD-card, so I created a symlink with this command:

ln -s /mnt/media_rw/extSdCard/appmanager /data/media/0/appmanager

That just resulted in the error message "Can not write to SD card". The symlink is owned by root, of course, so is it possible that the module ignores symlinks?

I've tried both KitKat SD Card Full Access and HandleExternalStorage.
