So I've read about a patch that allows for mounting of internal storage as RW.
Its a bit annoying to have to plug in my xoom to the pc just to save something to external sd. Root explorer FC's on open and Total Commander can't always mount RW
What to do? What to do?
root
es file explorer
ssh
ftp
...
Use your favorite method to edit the permissions in /data/etc/platform.xml to look like this:
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<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>

Hi i have a problem, How to set permission to the external card, because i cant browse the pictures, documents, another example: I take a picture and save automatically to extSD (cant open new photos). When I set permission 777 (root explorer) the selected item , everything works fine - I can browse the pictures.
I swapped internal memory with external by: extsd2internalsd2_mattiadj_and_infx_6
My platform.xml file:
<permission name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

need help....
Your problem is the me more you swap you did. Normally you would not have a problem as the gallery would pick up both internal and external. To be honest that memory swap is wasted and pointless on most devices.

Yes, the best thing for you to do would be to remove the swap.
I've seen this fix proposed on a forum, but it seems my Tab 7 running SlimKat 7.0 stable already has this entry in the platform.xml file.
Edit the file at:
system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
to add <group gid="media_rw" /> in the following location like so:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
It looks like there may be another entry to edit...
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Can anyone assist?
Hi friends, I want to use my microsd card, however I don't like the fact that it will be encrypted and won't work with other devices
I like how it operated back in kickkat. there were mods/app to mount it as /Storage/ExternalSD or something
I did some googling and found out supposedly you could regain this function by running xposed.
I installed xposed and tried XinternalSD module and HandleExternalStorage but still can't seem to have microsd behave same as it did....
I am just curious if anyone has MicroSd working without employing Adopted Storage; that is free from any permission limitation.
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

tried this entry in system/etc/permission/platform.xml but failed to make any difference
Suffering the same problem.....
How to patch my extsdcard in j7 .. can you help me guys...
If you are rooted, navigate to system/etc/permisisons/platform.xml and add "<group gid="media_rw" />" in WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE section. Please see below:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
