As far as ive seen no, the Triumph running Stock has i believe no File Manager, and if your running a Custom Rom it depends on which, some come with file managers installed already some dont, but for the most part you must download a file manager from google play, in order to access the folders in the phone

'kay i bought a new phone without realising it had not got the android market for downloading apps.
How do i put apps on my phone using an SD card. I cannot put astro file manager to install apps because i have no market.. So how do install the .apk files using a PC and SD card?
,thanks
i dont know how you dont have market, but if you have an internet connection on your phone root it and throw some custom roms on there.
else, look up a tutorial on setting up adb and then do
adb install file.apk
how can you buy an android phone without the market :S
visit theunlockr.com for a tutorial and root your phone. transfer any .apk to your sd card and then just 'open' them. Job done
Ive been trying to mod the stock rom on my MyTouch 3g Slide so that it automatically uses a folder on the sd card as the data folder for apps using the inherent "everything is a file" rule from linux.
I do have SU permissions on the ADB.
My theory is this:
If I replace the folder "data" with a link to the folder on the sd card, then I should be able to have as many apps as I want, I would just need to get a bigger sd card eventually.
Another benefit of this is it will actually be superior to App2SD as ALL apps will not only be able to be on the SD but they will all work properly (so pandora will let me still use the widget)
I am however not that well versed in linux or in modding a folder to be a link and just look like a folder. Anyone want to help?
I also know that, at first, I would need to ADB pull all the files from the required folders and push them back onto the SD folder. I did it once now if only I could get the link working.
edit: I have noticed that certain changes to the filesystem in the stock rom rewrite themselves on reboot. (ex: I tried to change the permissions on the built in shell to root but when I rebooted it changed them back, worked until then though)
edit: another thing I could do is have multiple sd cards with entirely different roms on them and just switch SDs when I want to change roms. But that's a project for another time.
Xperia X10 is still running 1.6.
Apps2SD is a 2.1 minimum so, somebody started to work on exactly what you want.

As I understand, lollipop should bring back the write access to SD card for third party apps.
However, the app "Ftp server" still cannot write to the SD card.
I cannot root the device due to company restrictions.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Bump!
Yeah, no root no acces.

I got this reply from the developer of FTP server pro:
"Basically I would need to use a new set of functions created by google (which are not standard); but I can not do that as I am using a standard implementation of ftp protocol."
So apparently there is a non standard implementation available?

This is exactly mine problem too. I have upgraded to Lollipop in hope to be able to write via FTP Server app to SD card again but it still doesn't work.
Is there another FTP app which can do it?
Also isn't there any other file browser app which can write to SD card (like pre-installed File Commander) ?
Yea, the preinstalled file commander can write to sd. It even have a ftp client.
But I want the other way around.
Have tried a few of the free most popular fpt server apps, but same problem on them all.
Probably/maybe if you make it a system app it'll work. (use Titanium backup for that)
Nvm that's only applicable if you have root, sorry i forgot you can't root...
For those who are interested. FTP server pro has now been updated, and support full access to SD card.

No dice, FTP server pro only writes to it's proprietary folder, not to SD card in general.
It is working on my Z3 at least. You might have to choose custom folder, then point the custom folder to the SDcard. That is how i have it configured.
That does the trick ! Thanks !!
Custom Folder
LG G4 - I set up the custom folder to be home but I'm still seeing the root (/). If I try to delete or transfer files -- no dice.
Non-rooted phone.
I'm on non-rooted too. Directly after selecting the sdcard as custom folder, I had the option to grant write access as described here:

I didn't receive anything about write access or otherwise after the the window opened to let me select the SD Card.
You have set home folder to custom? And then opened the activated browser just below the home folder option? And select external SD card in that option?
If yes and it didn't work, I would suggest reinstalling the app...

Well it helps to follow ALL the instructions... this is important:
"Don't navigate down into any subfolder. You must select the top-level root folder of the SD card. This is important."
This FTP-Server worked for me:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.ftpserver
In the settings you can select your root directory, don't select "ext. SDCard" it will only let you write in the apps own folder on the SDCard. Select personalized home directory than android asks you were your root directory should be, select your SDCard and confirm it, this should do the trick.
(Tested on LG G4 - Android 6.0)
Hope it works for everyone ;D .

Yes, writing to external card seems to work this way.
But deleting from the external card does not work. When trying to delete a file i get the error:
error 450: no permission to delete
Why?
Why hallo there peeps!
I have rooted my Z3 and before that I copied everyting from the internal and SD card to my Macbook through Droid Nas and it worked flawlessy. The problem is to get it back... Is there no easy way to do it??? The infernal horror way of blocking writing to the SD card after Kitkat 4.4 is just pain in the ass :/
I have been searching and trying but havent found any easy way... Sofar the only way Ive found is to copy files to the internal and then copy it manually back to the SD card..
There has got to be a better way than this?
Install xposed and download the module kitkat sd card full access to fix

Have you tried just browsing a network share from File Commander and using that to copy directly to the SD card?
I haven't tried this yet myself, I just use USB to copy stuff as its faster but I think File Commander has better access to storage being the system file manager.
why not use a card reader for the sd card? the issue with kitkat was applications/data writing to the sd card unless the fix was applied, from what you are saying you are having issues copying from the computer to the sd card when its in the phone

Well I know that works but I want to get it working to copy directly to the phone the freedom and access ya know.
I tried last night with File Commander and it worked fine.
Set up a a share of the music folder on my HTPC.
I then used the Local Network function in File Commander with the following settings.
Domain: workgroup
Server: HTPC/Music/
User: (username)
Password: (password)
Server name is just the name of the network device and the name of the shared folder.
I was able to copy over folders of music from the HTPC to my phones SD card directly over wifi. It wasn't particularly fast though but both devices are on wifi.
File Commander could be a bit better at selecting multiple folders at a time though and whiles it's copying, you can't use the app for anything else.

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer I used version 2.6.1 on mines for T-Mobile Z3 and it works flawlessly give that one a shot.
Gutdamnit, I cant get no xposed to work. I tried the latest , 2.6.1 and it says:
"Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor arcittexture (armeabi-v7a).
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "libdvm.so" needed by "/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/app_process"; caused by library "libdvm.so" not found"
What to do?

Download FolderMount. Run it, grant it root access, and then let it patch the system to allow full write access to external storage. After the phone reboots and you've verified it works, you can uninstall FolderMount.
Finally got it working, checked out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 and installed the Alpha release and it worked
So know I got Xposed working and all the mods I want, finally!
Thanks for all the help peeps! :good:
I am trying to access an OTG SD card reader in the terminal so that I can run a script on the card without breaking out my laptop, but I cant seem to find a way to access it. I am able to browse the files on a normal file explorer but any that support running scripts cannot "see" the card reader. If anybody has an idea I would greatly appreciate it!

if you're using a terminal app to run it, it should be in /mnt/ (device name will vary depending on the setup but should be something like USB1 or whatever). Then you should be able to run the script within the terminal application no?

Unfortunately I checked that folder before as well and still had no luck. I went into terminal emulator, granted root access, and then went to that folder. The device still never showed up in the terminal, even though I could browse the files in a normal file explorer.
well in that case, I guess the only option would be to copy the files from the sdcard reader to your device using a file explorer app and then running the script from a device folder that your terminal app recognizes. I find it extremely weird that it's not showing up in /mnt/ though in your terminal emulator. I am not sure why this would happen...
otg works without problem, i use root explorer or fx file explorer.
