Data Apps - General Topics

Hello, I have a question. I have the Samsung galaxy ace root and the root explorer I can see the files but the problem is that I have a problem with the sd card.
Explaining the root problem is that I open explorer and I get the root folder and there I give app data and then and there I get all the apps installed on the internal card and cell phone so I give the app and I can give install message so that if I give to see all your arxibos will I see, because I want to do the same thing but in the applications installed on the sd card is all that installed him stan to see how the d internal memory but the memory externally. Not if I explain here is better:
when I get into /data/app

and when I'm in /mnt/sdcard
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/204/24011522.jpg/
The purpose of this is that in / mnt / sdcard no data / app so I can not give the application to see as before in / data / app so you can see the configuration files of the game
Even in the pc let me.
PS: the big problem is that the file is read-only and even changing the permissions and putting it all clicked not even let me delete or modify files in that folder or glue or anything.
Let's see if anyone can answer me. thanks

[Q] Free space problem

Hi!
I've got a problem with my HTC Desire.
Today I've found a new upgrade for my phone. I've downloaded it but when it tries to install the upgrade, it say that there isn't enough space in the memory's phone.
So I moved all the apps on the SD, but is still not enough.
How can I free some memory? I could delete the cache of the older upgrade or something else?
Or there's an app to check which app is still on the phone but I could move them on the SD?
Please, help me!
Do you have pictures and videos? If so, check if they are on the SD card and not on your internal memory. Cleaning your cache helps, and try deleting your text messages threads.
on a Samsung Galaxy S.

I've already moved all my photo on the SD card and I removed all the useless text messages... but how can I clean my cache?
I was looking for some app, but I found only apps that requires root, and I don't want to root my phone.
Thank you!
I can't believe I have to make an hard reset to install an upgrade!!
It's crazy!

Q2:what is the best NAND rom for HTC HD2?

Not enough free space
I have a Samsung Captivate. I do not have Root Explorer. My phone has been rooted. I have Super Manager. I wanted to change a parameter in the settings.db file. I was able to do that on my desktop. I want to swap this new file with the old Settings.db file. The dbdata directory does not show up on my desktop. So I have tried to cut and paste the changed file which resides in the sdcard folder. So I need to go from that folder to where the orig Settings.db file resided. When I get to the point of pasting I get an error saying that I don't have enough free space. This file is only 57KB and I have roughly 12 GB of free space on SD card. 3.7GB internally. Any ideas how to correct the error.
Note: I don't have "Root Explorer" because I do not want to give Google Checkout access to my bank.

unable to write files to external sd card

I have owned a number of tablets but this is the first time I'm unable to write files to my ext. SD card. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks

I have the same issue when using any 3rd party file manager, but doing such through the built in one works. I suspect I just need to back up and format the card through the computer, try that and see how it works.
I ran into the same issue, but reformatting the external SD have no effect. Whether the system is grabbing hold of the extSD and locking out other apps is as yet unknown. Currently I am attempting to figure out how to root the unit so I can gain access with a better FileMngr than the stock one. Still waiting for the download during the reset to finish, so don't know if it will work.
FYI - My device is rooted and I am using ES File Manager and it still does not work.

Have you format your sd card? I've got same problem, but now it's ok with ES File manager

Are you sure? Try this:
Reboot the tablet.
Before you do anything else, start ES File manager, and immediately navigate to /mnt/sdcard/extStorages/SdCard.
Menu->New->Folder (leave the default and hit 'OK')
Did it create the folder or show an error message?
(This has become a puzzle for me. Sometimes I can read/write with ES, sometimes I can't. It's damn annoying...)

I can't post a link to the original post on another forum that worked for me so I will quote it:
Simple solution for external sdcard write access on Android 3.2...if you're rooted
I've found a simple solution for gaining write access to the external sdcard (/mnt/sdcard2) on Android 3.2. The sdcard is mounted r/w, but the owning group is media_rw which is linked to the WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE permission. Unfortunately, this permission was not required for access to the external sdcard prior to 3.2 so most file management utilities do not request it when they run...meaning they only have read access to the card.
The simple solution, if you're rooted, is as follows:
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w.
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart your tablet.
After this change, any apps that request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission (which includes almost anything that access either of the sdcards) will gain group membership in both sdcard_rw AND media_rw, giving them r/w access to both sdcard filesystems.
Interesting that it requires root to fix. You would think that even the Samsung file manager would be able to handle it, but it doesn't.

@thaloneus:
Thanks for finding and posting that procedure. Was having that excact problem and after making the edit to permissions I am now able to write to the external sd card. ES file explorer now allows writing to the external sd as well as Titanium Backup.
Interesting note: Titanium was backing up to the internal sd. Once the external became available to write to I was able to create a backup folder there and ran another batch of backups.

From what Ive found you need superuser access to the external sdcard to write to it. I've always been able to access the external sdcard with Titanium Backup as the location of the backup was the first thing I changed in its settings when I installed it. Root Explorer can write to it too. The only programs that can't are the ones without superuser access, ES File Explorer is one I have that I can't get its root explorer working, its not requesting superuser access, so it can't write to the sdcard.
Not sure if this has anything to do with the sdcard mounting to a pc as an MTP device instead of MSC or not but really irritated by that protocol. Not sure if this (MTP) is native to Honeycomb or if Samsung wanted the external storage accessed in this way.
Thank so much.

If you're still having trouble with apps not writing to the external sd, you might want to edit that .xml file thaloneus had mentioned.
Once I did that I had full access to write to that card from any app. Took me all of like five minutes to edit and test it out.
I'm having some trouble with this procedure. Like everyone else, I couldn't write to my external SD card using ES Explorer or what not, although the stock Samsung My Files explorer could (and strangely, if I use a Samba mount I could write to it from my Win7 PC).
Anyway I've rooted everything, and was about to edit platform.xml, but I can't save it. I don't have the ability to write to the system folder.
I think I've done the Mount rw thing, ES File Explorer's option to do it was disabled, but on File Expert it was available. For good measure, I also used the app "mount /system (rw /ro)" but even with all these tools, I still can't write to the system directory.
I'm at my wits end, any ideas?

What are you using to edit the .xml file? It may not have root explorer functions.
I used the Root Browser from ROM Toolbox to make and save the edit.
Worked for me with Root Explorer. I have tried most of the free file managers, and Root Explorer is worth every penny to me. It is the only app I have paid for.

i used the free Astro File Manager to navigate to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. When I tapped on the platform.xml file I was given a choice of text editors to open it with. When I finished I was offered the option to save the file.

Reading your question is confusing, maybe rephrase?
ok I clarify things. this is me in the sd card I have installed the game avatar fight because I'll get in / mnt / ASEC / game directory then I get the apk I give and I get to install, view or cancel I give to see me go all configuration files of the game because I just want to modify the game files. Well that all fine but I get the file for editing and I find that it is read-only root cn explorer try to change the permissions to write, read and execute but nothing will not let me tells me that the sd card does not support changing the permits. So my question is:
Can you tell me any way you could modify the configuration files or at least delete and paste new ones, ie to stop reading, writing and execution Aguna no way to force it to be writing?
Thank you.

[MOD][SWAP internal SD with external SD][SM-G355HN]

First why:
When I got this phone I was disappointed with fact that primary storage isn't switchable and free user data space is approximately 2.2 GB. Which means that all application data goes to internal storage so it is impossible to use apps like Need for Speed, Navigation app, ShowBox and others. I believe you all find that annoying.
After I saw @Dhruvit Pokharna topic I started to poke a little bit over XDA and I noticed that this was done before ( back in 2012 ) and with various Samsung phones. So I decided to change and adapt script for our phone. Original script was created by @mattiadj from whom I still waiting for permission to change script and to publish it. But I'am going to do it anyway.
What the script do:
It swipe internal sd (/storage/sdcard0) with external micro sd (/storage/extSdCard) and viceversa.
"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.

Tutotial is simple. Step by step.
I don't see reason why you can't use this if your Phone has same spec as mine .
Check with root explorer following :
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/extSdCard
/dev/block/vold/179:129
If this is it you're good to go..
And for your existing game data just copy it after at proper place
Here is whole script:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:129 /storage/sdcard0
sleep 30
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard
chmod 777 /mnt/extSdCard
sleep 10
chown 1023:1023 /storage/extSdCard
chown 1000:1000 /storage/sdcard0

Install applications from play store goes to default internal memory without problem.
When you have downloaded apk from some other site only way for now is to copy it to /data/app than change permission and owner and install it from there. I still didn't figured it out why is that only way for download and backuped apks.
Regarding data app I think you mean what was asked in second post. If you used link2sd or some similar app after swaping just check are data and obb are stored under folder /Android in your external SD so that you could use your saved apps resources.

Hi!
File Commander shows the swap (a lot of memory as device memory) and a little amount (the internal, as sd card memory), but when I get into app administration it only shows the small amount of memory as the avaible for applications, I've tried downloading some apps after the process just to see if that amount was static but it keeps going down with every app, so I guess it isn't working, or only games and apps which use large amounts of memory are saved at the external storage?
Edit: I can't neither nstall apps directl from the storage, just from the play store.
Thanks! :good:

Well, i already did it, ty Revert works very good
But i wanted to know what i can make wrong. I mean i did everything as it wrote in title. But maybe such fail was already corrected by some user.
And also free space was the same for card and phone memory. i mean if free memory on phone is 200mb, then on sd card its also 200mb.

If you looking in settings storage you will see that. It's the way it is because I couldn't swap whole data partition. I only swap extSdCard with legacy sdcard0 or internal memory. Swapping mmcblk0p22 with mmcblk1p1 wouldn't work because p22 is fst ext4 and p1 is vfat.

"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.

[Completed] Need Help Regarding sdcard0 in Android

So its a long story guys.
I am Iman. And i have a samsung galaxy star pro ( i know its old, but i just need the solution, not advices to buy a new phone)
Yesterday i rooted my samsung galaxy star pro, with pc kingoroot pc software. And it was sucessfully rooted. Today I installed, link2sd, RoesoftRamExpander and FOLDERMOUNT in my phone.
Ok so when i was using folder mount when i opened the app it gave an error type of thing that a faculty error has came and it will have to do something to the sdcard (internal storage sd card) and it also said that i will create a backup as well.
I just clicked ok, and then using folder mount, i didnt found it effective because all the data was in KB's so i uninstalled folder mount. Now when i opened gallery it said that data is low than 100 mb delete some files. I rushed to settings>storage and saw the Phone memory was 4 Gb/4GB full. (my phone even doesnt supports apps2sd so i cant change default storage to ext sd card)
ok so now i opened es file explorer and the sd card was empty. I opened up /device and searched a file called sdcard.backup and it was there, which means that i have the backup. Now how can i restore it please??????????????? I really need to restore it. if theres an app to do it than tell me , i have also gone in foldermount settings but found nothing there. I can install apps, because the apps go to device/system>data
