I have rooted and have disabled most of the recommendations listed here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/debloating-t2805503

I now find myself unable to create a folder (using ES or ASTRO) in any directory?

Very confused

Sorry I don't think I was clear. This is not to my external sd card but to the actual storage on my device (or maybe that did happen for others)? I checked out that thread, downloaded the "SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD", rebooted and still does not work. I am attempting the wanam xposed fix but whenever I attempt to use the xposed installer, it can't extract (due too inability to write to disk). Is there a way to install xposed via odin?

Thank you for the response. I am new to rooting and Android in general, but I am trying!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freakstyler:
Not sure on what your issue might be, but I just tried using ES File Explorer, and I could create a new folder in the SD0 (internal) directory, without issues. So perhaps try with another file manager like ES.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordnorth4:
Okay update time. I attempted both Root Browser and ES File Explorer.. Root browser did the same thing as ASTRO, which was that after I attempted to create a folder/file clicked ok, the screen refreshed and viola- nothing. ES File Explorer did have the added benefit of apologizing saying: "Sorry, operation failed".

I attempted more drastic measures, as I am sure I was able to do this earlier on my device (through ASTRO). I backed up my current setup, and then restored the one I made directly after rooting. This had no apps disabled. Problem persisted. Restored to my current and problem still persisted.

I then attempted to use Samsung's "My Files" app, which was surprisingly capable of performing these operations. I don't know what options this leaves me. This is not just a problem with file browsers, as I was using AIDE and was incapable of creating a new project, so this is drastically affecting the use of my device. Does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT

I have made sure ES File explorer has root permission, and yet it still will not create folder's/files. I have put in an sd card, and am able to write folders to that. A quick and uninformed internet search has lead me to believe that it is because the file system is inproperly mounted, but I have absolutely no idea if that is correct or how I caused that issue. I am further lost on how to go about fixing it.

Would a reflash using the original root method work?

Or perhaps a factory reset?

I just don't know enough.

END EDIT

Thanks for your replies and time, I really appreciate it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SS823:
same issue

I have the same exact issue. I can add folders through the Samsung My Files; the ES File explorer gives me 'Sorry, operation failed' also. I have reformatted, and re-rooted, but same issue.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banderos101:
Im no expert mind you, but i had this exact same issue, pretty sure its a kernel issue, specifically i think selinux and its two modes passive and enforce.........first i tried an app on the store thats suppose to change this mode upon reboot, before i realised newly installed apps were now also having issue with internal storage........anyways, long story short, i checked out the lone kernel in the dev thread, paraphrasing, selinux disabled, or some such, and bingo bango, everythings back the way it was

If you have recovery, might be worth backing up and flashing kernel, see if that works, report if it does for the benifit of others that might find themselves with internal storage issues

Edit

T700/T705 version

Hopefully thats usefull
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Yep. Just did a first TWRP backup and restored with my latest kernel flashed. No internal storage write issue. If you really want to know if it's SELinux or how I mount let me know and I can repack a stock kernel for private test. I do set the last line of my /sbin/SkyHigh.sh script as data rw, so probably that's it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banderos101:
Did you have the internal issue aswell?

So we have two probable culprits, selinux or a line in a script

Can you flash kernel one ontop of the other without negatives, so lets say you put two test versions here, one with the script change but selinux enforce, and your latest kernel at the moment, anyone in the future with this issue, who is willing to help could flash the first one and confirm if fixed and thus hopefully identify the issue specifically as the data r/w or not

On another note

Although i was having internal issues in android itself at the time, my twrp recovery file manager had no problems deleting/moving files.....maybe that might narrow down the issue, i dont know
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
No, I've never had the issue as I've used my own kernel from just about day one ;) Hence restoring with TWRP hadn't been a problem the one time I just used it.

I have posted a couple of times asking if someone wants to do the flashing, I don't have the motivation and time to do it.

I will however respond to a PM if someone wishes to flash a modified re-packed stock kernel to test. They'll need to supply the stock boot.img from the firmware version they are currently using. If all is good, we can then post the results.

Or in the meantime, user SkyHigh kernel ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banderos101:
Thanks by the way, for your kernel, and its rescue of my device :).........and not least of all, the work you've done with our devices:highfive:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flhthemi:
So is this actually a bug or by design? Is it KK or Samsung's problem? Kinda stupid to lock us out of our own SD card but still allow us to install apps from unknown sources???

WTF?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
No. You'll need to re-read the entire thread. Easy mistake. ;)

The thread is about an issue with INTERNAL sdcard after TWRP recovery restore and a "solution".
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banderos101:
Worked fine until i started rooting and flashing the recovery, pretty sure during that process something triggered this issue
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flhthemi:
Yup, first post in the Samsung threads and I messed up. ;) Now I have to find a proper thread to get an answer....
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banderos101:
Just for future reference

This issue affects both internal AND external storage, if you just have an external issue and no internal, its likely you have a different issue, likely the changes brought about by kitkat, where there are other solutions elsewhere.......thats not to say you cant try a kernal thats known to have selinux as permissive and r/w script change though, might actually be another solution to the kitkat/external card issue?i dont know

So to clarify, this issue involves the INTERNAL storage too, which the other issue doesnt
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
This thread is about INTERNAL sdcard write issue after restoring TWRP backup. Current known solution: flash my kernel.

The EXTERNAL sdcard issue is brought about with the introduction of Android 4.4.2 (There are other dedicated threads on this). Current known solutions: flash a patched custom ROM, use one of the Play Store apps (root), or mod the relevant system folder yourself (root). ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banderos101:
Okay, i could have sworn that i was experiencing the same issue on the external, aswell as the internal, infact im certain, i remember trying the external fixes first, assuming i had the kitkat external storage issue, untill i noticed it was also happening to the internal storage.......this was the first and only thread i found concerning internal issues, maybe i had both issues, but then again, the kitkat fixes didnt fix the external issues, your kernel seemed to fix both, at least in my specific situation

Edit

Okay, i see maybe you were answering my question from a more knowledgeble perpective, it just seemed that whatever affected the internal, was also affecting the external, otherwise, wouldnt the sdfix and/or root file managers like es file explorer with a kitkat/sd workaround, worked, both of which i tried.......seems like whatever was affecting my internal was also affecting external..........one way to find out is if folks who find themselves with the internal issues could confirm if they also have external issues, and whether the external fixes work or not

Edit

Ive just come to realise the fact that i was having internal storage permission issues might have caused the external storage fixes not to function properly, and that maybe i did indeed have two seperate issues, and that whatever was affecting my internal storage was a different issue to the kitkat/external sd card issue, so maybe you are right in saying that this only fixes the internal storage issue, which in turn allowed the external storage fixes to work.........hopefully time will tell, and hopefully, some of that makes sense :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aswinrulez:
I encrypted my phone a few days back to wipe my phone permanently. I read article I'm CNET where they told the best way to wipe a phone so no one can recover files was to encrypt the phone.. Delete the files then do factory reset. I was on vanir. I did it and now the encryption is not going even during factory reset. I even flashed a different rom, slimkat to be precise but encryption is still there. What can I do?

You mean downgrade it to .314? I have .402 unfortunately I don't have a clue how to do it

314 is newer than 402, so it's an upgrade.

If you search a little bit you will find everything you need.

Rooting 402 or 314 is easy, zd well as flashing a newer firmware. Everything's well explained in the forum.

And your thread should belong to question and answer, not development

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jodsfk421:
Below is how my signal has been on the following versions of Android at my home - I've been on Toro (Verizon-Samsung Galaxy Nexus) the whole time / same phone.

I'm a crack flasher (I got burnt out a little around the end of 4.2, early 4.3 updates).

Android 4.0 - 2/3 bars of signal (LTE) Mostly CM / AOKP / Codename Android - Franco

Android 4.1 - 2/3 bars of signal (LTE) Mostly AOKP / CNA - Franco

Android 4.2 - 1/2 bars of signal (LTE) Mostly AOKP - Franco

Android 4.3 - Skipped

Android 4.4 - 0/1 bars of signal (LTE) Mostly SlimKat / Liquidsmooth - Dirty-V

What i'm wondering is, why the drop in signal? Is it because it's not officially supported anymore, does the population on the tower(s) change my signal strength, is there another reason?.

I know the perimeters for what the signal shows can change (not sure by rom or version of android) but the actual download speed has slowed significantly as well...

One possibility that I hadn't considered too much was the addition of a new case - (Trident Kracken AMS case (http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/samsung-galaxy-nexus/kraken-ams-case-samsung-galaxy-nexus.aspx) which I got on Amazon for a fraction of that price & love by the way)

Just wondering if there's a fix... (i.e. going back to 4.1.1)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Most likely tower the towers are becoming more and more populated. Old people switch from their flip phones to smart phones everyday teenagers get their first phones etc...

Also as you stated with each android update especially from ice cream sandwich to jellybean update Google reworks the way signal is interpreted in the form of signal bars (they made it show more accordingly to usability). And yes your case could make a slite difference. Also the atmospheric conditions mostly temperature can effect the strength. I can't really see your case making a huge difference.

Also it's kind of rude to page in a rom post for people to help you with a non rom related issue even if asking politely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jodsfk421:
Alright, I'll remove it. No big deal, I just thought that since they developed the Rom they may have a deeper understanding of what's going on than "some guy" browsing the Q&A section. I am on this Rom so it's kind of related (I thought:confused:) but if it's rude, then i'll fix it.

However, It doesn't explain how, if I switch back to 4.1, my signal comes back however with much faster download speeds (irregardless of amount of bars showing).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyrider:
As of 2 weeks ago, I received the Galaxy S4 (I9505) and I was rather happy having a faster mobile now. That is, until I added back the games I was playing on my Galaxy S3. For example, the game Family Farm Seaside (2D game I believe) was working perfectly and smoothly on my Galaxy S3.

But when I added it on my S4, the smoothness just vanished and it's quite shucky / laggy. Especially when I move around the screen. The stutter really starts when multiple things happen within the game (harvesting multiple crops at the same time) where the framerate just drops dramatically.

I've googled for a couple of hours, and the only "solutions" I can find is force the GPU on 2D games, force 4x, etc. I've tried all combinations, but it makes things worse rather than improving things.

Now.. My Galaxy S3 is using Cyanogenmod (current latest nightfly version) and has no problems with the game. Before you might ask.. While my S4 is also using Cyanogenmod (also latest nightfly), the game had issues on the S4 Stock ROM as well. Combined with the fact that I've tried multiple S4 Roms before I went to Cyanogenmod completely.

Is this an issue within the game or is this merely hardware related? (or software) of the S4? I'd figured the S4 would be faster, not slower.
