[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrzejLinux:
Is this fix permanent or...

Gentlemen.

Question for you. Is this fix permanent or will I have to redo it every time the app gets updated / new nightly rom will be installed?

It worked for me - not for all the applications but it made my life easier.

Thank you.

Kind regards.

What do you want to say? Temasek ROM is stopped?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
The problem is the API for external sdcard so simply avoid it. Instead trick the OS by linking external sdcard to internal sdcard folder so the whole system thinks you are accessing internal sdcard (even though data gets written to external sdcard).

Alternatively, link the whole internal sdcard to an external sdcard folder.

/system/etc/init.d/70sdcardfixes

#!/system/xbin/bash
mount -o bind /mnt/media_rw/00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000 /data/media/0/sdcard1
mount -o bind /mnt/media_rw/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/Android2/obb /data/media/obb
mount -o bind /mnt/media_rw/00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000/Android2/data /data/media/0/Android/data
mount -o bind /mnt/media_rw/00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000/Android2/DCIM /data/media/0/DCIM
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7OH:
Yes. It WORKS.

Works more slowly, but works.

So i do next steps:

1. Rename TitanuimBackup folder to TitanuimBackup2.

2. Choose in Titanium DocumentProvider and choose clean TitanuimBackup folder.

3. Move files from TitanuimBackup2 to TitanuimBackup.

On MM recently i use xPosed module XInternalSD for granting access to SD (why cyan didnot do it natively?) ,

but after installing Nougat - still waiting for xPosed and need to fix it by self.

solved by apps2sd app

I had the same problem with ADM app specially.

A very simple way for those who are on cm or a rooted marshmallow is using apps2sd app which comes with many other tools. :D

Worked awsome for me.

MortPlayer can't access SD Card

Hi there 65536. Your solution

to ensure players could access the SD card sounds like just what I need to fix my problem (that MortPlayer can't access my SD card). It is just that I have no idea where this code goes.... could you possibly supply a set of blow by blow steps for a total newbie? I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which is not cracked.

Thanks very much,

Thanks for your reply, le_zurdo, and I really appreciate you stepping that out. However, I did not see names, nor steps, in the post I cited that code from. I am sure that is because - as I said - I am new to this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeuszoos:
Nobody's going to do it for every app and every time they install an app though.

There needs to be a fix for the card as a whole, as was done with KitKat and "SDFix". That "one byte" patch obviously doesn't work for MM though, since I already ran it a while before installing MM and I had the problem in MM too.

There was a supposed patch for MM, but it only worked for some apps for me and I ended up going back down to KK.

I don't know if it's the same patch, or "2.0" of the same patch, but the following thread has one:

http://tinyurl.com/ydxzs8eu

It is in the Play Store too, but the most recent ratings are all 5 Star with no comments, so I don't know if I trust them, since the ones with comments say it works with some apps and not with others.

But if it does or doesn't work after someone tries it, could you please let me know here?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
There is no fix needed anymore. All apps use the new api and have full access to the external sdcard. The new method is a very good thing to prevent apps snooping in your private data.

If you still want to bypass this bind mount the external sdcard to a folder of your internal sdcard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeuszoos:
DualJoe,

No disrespdct and thanks for the info, but I don't understand why so many people don't understand what I'm saying.

I'm not talking about apps writing to Android/data on the Ext SD Card. I'm talking about an app writing to any and every location on the Ext SD Card.

For example, create the folder "Music" right off the root on your Ext SD Card and put your MP3's in it.

Now install an ID3 Tag Editor and edit the tag of one of your MP3's.

Now tell it to Save the changes.

Did it work? Or did you get an error?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
Test 'OpenCamera' or 'ES File Explorer Pro'. If they don't work something's wrong with your system.

Edit: If you're on Android 4.x it probably will not work indeed. Use at least Android 6+.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmyshkin:
Thank you! This is the real deal. The first time I tried it (for Kodi) I must have made an error of some sort and it didn't work. That led me down the proverbial rabbit's hole with flashable zips, xposed modules, etc., none of which worked.

Finally in disgust (and many backup restores later) I gave your method one more carefultry. It worked like a charm. An elegant solution to a vexing problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nixnix33:
Just trying to solve a problem with an app (PowerAmp player) not being able to delete mp3 files off the external sd card. This problem is giving me a headache for more than a year now.... Before upgrading to MM (I'm on Oxygen OS 3.1.4) it was okay, but then after OTA it's frustrating not to be able to delete files you don't like. So after I found this thread I thought it is worth a try. Performed a root just for this experiment, lost some data and settings along (not really important), and afterwards did the mentioned tweaks to the packages.xml file.

Well, it does not (so far) work for me: seems that somehow the file packages.xml itself gets corrected every time I do a reboot for the changes to take effect. (I triple checked it, and always there was the line added before the reboot - and after reboot it was missing.

So I did some more experimenting and added the line

<item name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" granted="true" flags="0" />

to both the sections

<package name="com.estrongs.android.pop" (which I believe is the ES file explorer?)

<package name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer" (poweramp?)

... and after reboot both were missing! The funniest part: I am able to delete files on external sd with the ES file explorer, but cannot delete them directly via Poweramp - both apps have the permission to write to sd card:

<item name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" granted="true" flags="0" />

Anybody solved this problem of the dissapearing lines just with tweaking packages.xml?
[OnePlus X General] Fatsodonkey:
First of all you need root and init d support.

Second i will not take responsibility if something happens to you're phone.

I tried screen shift for a long time, but it kept disabling the set at boot and i got sick of it. Now im using 1600x900 with 360dpi with init d script and could not be happier that it works perfectly.

1. Download the file.

2. Open your preferred file manager with root priviliges.

3. Browse to your download folder and search the file.

4. Remove the txt extension from the file by renaming it.

4. Open the file with text editor and change the resolution and dpi to what you want.

5. Copy or cut the file into /etc/init.d

6. Reboot your phone and boom! You have you're desired resolution and dpi set at boot.

Stock 1900x1080 480dpi file attached.

You can change the values with text editor if you wan't different resolution and dpi.

1600x900 360dpi setting file also included.
[OnePlus X General] SpiritBreak3r:
Eh?

adb shell wm density “INSERT_DPI” && adb reboot
[OnePlus X General] Fatsodonkey:
What about the resolution?

I think that that only changes dpi.

I want more performance with lower res.
[OnePlus X General] SpiritBreak3r:
wm size "resolution"
wm size reset
wm density "DPI"
wm density reset
[OnePlus X General] Fatsodonkey:
Does that also work with every boot?

I thought earlier that it just changed the value and after boot it would not stick.

Maybe i should not make guides since im a bit nooby with this. I just thought that it would make life easier for people like me.

I will just add the adb commands to it and call it a day.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetallicMan:
I've had the phone for about a month now, and I've never seen the signal strength indicator display anything other than max. I definitely know that my signal strength is pretty poor at my workplace via my old Nexus 4 and the LTE Discovery app. Does anyone's phone display an accurate signal strength? I'm currently stock on Marshmallow (same issue with Lollipop) with T-Mobile as my carrier, if that matters.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinmcmurtrie:
That sounds like "Demo mode" in System UI Tuner. It makes everything look like it's working perfectly.

It's also possible that you have a very clean signal to a malfunctioning tower. I've seen this in a few places.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetallicMan:
Demo mode is disabled. I've installed a couple of apps that display information about my cellular signal, and they accurately displayed the corresponding indicator based on the signal strength. I'm not sure why my Moto X won't accurately show it. Maybe I just need to find a place that has no service just to make sure. LOL

Looking for a new android for my boyfriend to replace his current awful phone, and finances are a bit tight right now. We're hoping to find a device under $170, it needs to have SD support to hold all his music and photos, GSM unlocked for Cricket Wireless, and we'd like to find one that has flexibility on custom ROMs. He really likes the one I have, the Huawei Ascend Mate 2, which has CM and PAC, and around the $200 range, but we're wondering if the people of XDA have other devices to recommend. :) Like me, he also prefers large-ish screens... no tiny phones. It'd also be great to have one that is eligible for Lollipop. Perhaps I am asking too much. :p

Unfortunately I don't own a Tab 4, but I did figure out the full fix for the Tab 4 layout bug. It was a few incorrect layout_gravity positions in status_bar_expanded xml. Never got the chance to update my thread but yeah, there was an custom apktool someone compiled with the new commits that fix the pull down bug. Let me search around to find it so you can use. Anyway, hopefully some people can provide feedback. Happy holidays

Hi . Why this rom only for T530NU but not for T530 ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Flukester69:
I think making a ROM for this device is awesome. Many thanks and I will give it a go today.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] stangdriver44:
I'm surprised to see you don't own a Tab 4 seeing as you clearly put in A LOT of work to ensure proper compilation of modded apk's!!!

Again thank you for the leg work you put in for this device. I may or may not have mentioned that I don't actually own the device either, my wife does!! She like to be able to tweak the clocks and play with themes as well, so she allows me to work my mods in, slowly....

Your previous fixes for the pulldown worked pretty good overall, I don't mind the only thing that was noticeable (when youe begin to pulldown the pulldown header is visable at the bottom for a quick moment) to me in the brief time playing with the Tab. It didn't hinder the device unusable or really count as a major "bug" in my mind.

I will try the linked apktool and see if that changes anything? Thanks again bud!!

To be honest, I only modded this device for my wife and am unsure of the different devices or even why they have so many devices in the same forum?

All I can be sure of is my girls Tab is the Tab 4 10.1 model number T530NU.

She uses it for school only. Wi-Fi as of now, with no data connection of it's own.

If other ROM's for the T530NU work for other variants, then I'm sure this rom will work as well!!

All I can say is

*MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FOR THE JUST IN CASE

*MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FLASHING FOR WHAT DEVICE

*BE PATIENT UPON INITIAL INSTALL (FIRST BOOT CAN TAKE ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES

If you do decide to give it a try, PLEASE post back your results and/or comments so I can update the OP

Thanks bud!!

I am not really pushing here for major development on this device, but if I have something build that is different that a "Stock" version rom I usually will share.

Of course "Interest, appreciation and thread participation", play HUGE parts on update frequency and future development!!!

Did you end up loading up v1?

As of right now there has been almost 60 downloads and I have yet to get a single response about this build? I will build more, including a fully Inverted, customizable version if interest is here...
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Flukester69:
Actually I have the T530, not the NU one but I would imagine it will still work. I'll give the ROM a go tomorrow and see how I fare and let you know.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Flukester69:
To the OP

Been running your rom on my T530 (not NU) for about 3-4 hours. Funny to be back to a Samsung like ROM having run other ROM's like BlissPop. Your ROM runs very nicely and I don't have any problems. I went for a totally clean wipe, data/cache/dalvik and system. During installation/setup I had Google Maps force close a few times (who cares?). Didn't affect installation of the ROM. ROM took about 10mins or so before I saw anything other than the Samsung logo on first boot which is totally normal. I had some 21 apps update via PlayStore after boot. So far all is good, very nice job on the ROM too.

Such a great tablet and/but ROM community/support for it is pretty low. I'll keep running this as my daily driver and let you know of any issues I run into. Thanks for your support! Any chance of a 5.1.1 update or Marshmellow update? :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] stangdriver44:
Thank you very much for the feedback! If there were more users like you this place would be packed with eager excited devs building and updating. But like you said, low community participation and feedback. No real motivation for people to share work that may already been done.

I'm glad things went smooth for you and that this "Initial" release is working and functional! There are a few mods in OZOP Control that aren't working yet, but they will eventually! It was a lot of work removing all the mods from my current version to build this Initial version.

I usually don't even release a mostly "stock" Themed version because I can't stand the white Backgrounds!

You just might have given me the motivation to build v2 the "Inverted" version...

As far as 5.1.1 and further, I will definately update as "Official" samsung versions are released. I usually only build from stock samsung bases to reduce bugs and problems.

Lile I said, this is my girls device and I haven't followed the update progress, what is the most current build? Do you have a download link? Zip or tar? I can extract and Deodex pretty quickly these days! Lol

Thanks again bud. Enjoy and remember this is just an initial release and some things may not work yet.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Flukester69:
Ya, no it's solid and definitely a daily driver. Games and everything else seems to work without issue. It's kinda nice having a bit of the old Samsung look and controls. I did find those broken controls you mention. No biggie for me. With Google+ happening more these days people have moved on in that direction. You know, no feedback can also be considered a good sign too. People are first to complain, than lay compliments. While it may seem the community has lost interest (here) ROMs like Tipsy, Tesla, Blisspop do also continue in Google+ world. Way I see it, with that route, just allows them to do things by their own rules. I prefer XDA which allows me an opinion without harsh results. Glad you decided to post here. Anyway, you can count on me to test and hope you do release an inverted version. I plan to run this now as my daily driver. Cheers!

Hope you battery life and heating problems were resolved by installing this rom?

Yes, A lot of time has been put into this so far, and a lot more is needed to get it to the point where I would like. I didn't expect much feedback for this device so I'm not holding that against this community or having that weight in on my motivation to update!

Like mentioned in the OP though, this is not my device and I get limited access to it for building mods and themes!

I have had a little time since this release and theming is getting better now. Maybe I can post some small update zips?

I'm not sure why a very small select few are having an issue like you mention. Again, this is my wife's device and I only use it on rare occasions.

I can guarantee you this, IF SHE HAD A WIFI CONNECTION ISSUE, I WOULD KNOW RIGHT AWAY!!!

That being said, a user had reported an issue with Wi-Fi connection and was extremely helpful with posting a fix for it here in this post basically right above your post about the issue.

I personally have not applied the fix because I have no issue.

So if anyone is having an issue connecting to WiFi, please try the above fix and report back if that fixed the issue for you.
