So hopefully this will work for you.
1) I downloaded and installed Shadowgun. I DID NOT download game data yet.
2) I set up the directories. At this point both directories are empty.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3)Then check the directory box
4) Select the option to Bind Checked and the box should turn green
5) Launch Shadowgun and download the game data
6) When it is done, if it worked the game data should be on your microSD card
7) You can also verify that your app data has increased, but your Available space has not decreased
8) It is VERY important to backup your database. There is a bug in the bind app that won't keep the folder binds after a reboot. Once you back it up simply restore the database to restore your binds

[Q] Having problems installing TB

Hi, I downloaded Titanium Backup and tried to install it but it keeps saying that there is no storage space and that I should clear some space. But i checked my storage and i still have about 27gb of free space left. I also tried installing and uninstalling other apps and it works fine its just TB that does not work. Anyone have any idea whats going on?
I have attached a couple screenshots so you can see.
Thanks in advance
Cheers,
deocare

What does the "Storage" page in Settings say?
Does it work if you install it directly from the Play app?

it says 25gb of free space and ive tried installing it directly from the playstore as well does not work but every other app works

OK, then the error message does not state the real problem.
Next idea: Install CatLog, then try installing TB again until it fails, then open CatLog and scroll up until you find the real error message. Or instead use adb logcat from a PC if you prefer that.

i got this from the logcat but don't know what it means nor on how to fix the problem

I think you may have too many apps running somehow. Try clearing your cache and davik cache. Have you tried side loading TB? You can download the previous version directly from them. Just remember to enable third party apps installs. If it works, you'll be able to upgrade to the latest version via in app or Google Play.
I don't know how to read the catlog, so no help there.

I've had this problem several times. It usually happens when you've installed it once before. What you need to do is go into /data/app and delete the Titanium Bacukup .odex file. I can't remember the full file name, but it'll have titanium backup in the name.
You should the be able to re-install fine.

I've read something similar when searching for the error message, but I don't understand where such an odex file would come from (usually, odex files exist only for system apps - the user-installed apps have dex files in /data/dalvik-cache instead).
But yes, deleting everything related to TB from /data/app, /data/data and /data/dalvik-cache is the next thing to try - the file names start with com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup (or, in dalvik-cache, with [email protected]@" prefixed). You need a root-enabled file manager for this, I use Ghost Commander.

KitKat issue - Unable to delete stuff on ext SD card

Just got my Sony Xperia Z3. Still messing around to get a feel of the UI.
Was not able to uninstall File Commander as I find the UI badly design. So installed ASTRO File Manager, tried deleting a file from ext SD card. pops up a notice saying that due to KitKat design, 'write' to ext SD card is prohibited.
I uninstalled ASTRO File Manager and installed SOLID Explorer, deletion from ext SD card was not allowed as well.
Tried deleting same file using File Commander and it worked

Probably will try File Expert but expecting the same rejection.

It is a well known issue with KitKat and is brought in on purpose by google.
Basically in an effort to increase security protection to the user only system apps can write to the SDcard. There is a way around it but you need root. Just google "Write to SD card KitKat" for further information and how to revert it.

You believe in Santa Claus, too ?
Google tries to force you into using their cloud services, that's all magic.
But it's correct: You need root to edit the file platform.xml. After doing that, everything is ok again.
But DO NOT ROOT, yet ! You'll lose all DRM keys (making the horribly bad Z3 camera even worse) and X-Reality. And believe me: You really do not want to lose that.

Yes I know, its an old issue and well known how to get around it. And trust me, if I want to unlock my bootloader I will.

The only way around it is to save files in your File Explorer's App folder. With FX Explorer, for example, save your files into Android/data/nextapp.fx/files/
You'll be able to write and delete all you want.
File Commander works across all folders because it's a system apk.

Presumably with root you could just convert your file manager app of choice to a system app with the likes of Titanium and it would then work ok? Or just use one that uses root anyway (like Root Explorer).

Work root you just add one line to platform.xml and then it works just like it did before

Of course, with root you can get around any software restriction. However, in 2 - 3 years it'll be moot (hopefully sooner). It's like when Android dropped the menu key and everyone was pissed. After 2 years no one cares about the lack of a menu key anymore.

[Q] Cant delete files from SD card (jellybean)

I'm cleaning up my phone, PHOTOS only shows photos stored on the phone, it doesn't include photos on the SD card.
So I downloaded the SD card photos via Airdroid FILES and now want to delete them
If I right click on EXTERNAL SD CARD, I'm given the delete option, but if I dive into any subdirectories, all delete options are greyed out whether it's right click on directory or file, or select and click the trash can.
Any ideas? This is a Note 3 running Android 4.3

Would you please attach a screenshot here? Generally, if you right click on EXTERNAL SD CARD, there's no delete option.

Here you go

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

And here you can see no delete option

Has nobody run into this before? I posted the screenshots that were requested. Was kind of expecting a response.

If AirDroid doesn't have the permission to delete files on your external sd card, the delete option will be greyed out. Or would you please give it a try on the phone: AirDroid--->Tools--->Files. Try deleting one photo there just to check if AirDroid has the permission. Thank you in advance

I think you're on to something. Using AirDroid on the phone itself, I attempted to delete a file from the SD card. The delete option was there, it said the delete was successful, but nothing was actually deleted.
What might prevent this from working?

AirDroid does not have the permission to delete files on your SD card

right, we determined that. my question was WHY would it not have permissions? What should I be looking at to fix that problem?

anyone knows how to fix it ?
cant set the external SD path

DESCRIPTION:
Hey Guyz welcome to Link2sd tutorial... After receiving many request for this type of thread, am writing it with screenshots step by step guide with all links
We all know that Link2sd is an app which can extend the apps storage of android smartphone by using 2nd ext4 partition of android's SD Card.
Who can use it ??
Anyone who has root can use this awesome app... support dev for it too
We just need Rooted device and it should be atleast running Android version 2.3-6.0.1
Lets move on it...
PREREQUISITES:
1.) First of all, its assumed that the device is rooted perfectly.
2.) There is SD card available(of good class).
3.) A Laptop or PC
4.) Internet for downloading software
5.) And most importantly, A Brain
PROCEDURE:
Now the Procedure for all devices except Android 6 Marshmallow is same.
So we will move with categorizing android versions as 2.3-5.1.1 and 6.0
COMMON METHOD FOR ALL ANDROID VERSIONS:
First of all, download this software named MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional
and attach the Memory card to Laptop/PC using CARD READER i repeat CARD READER not using phone or any other way.
When you have done that, open installed MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional software,
It will show you the detailed info o all partitions attached with your Laptop/PC.
At the last, there will be your memory card attached and it will be with FAT32 style. like in this pic

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now Right click on this Memory card partition and click delete... like this
now right click on this card and select Create
and then select Create as "Primary"
File system should be "Ext4" and select the memory of memory card you want to donate to Link2sd for linking apps.
i selected 2.0GB for it like this
Now click ok and you will see you partition on minitools partitions tool. like this
Now right click the unallocated space and click create.

click ext4 and then click ok... it will create script and ask for reboot. Now you will be able to link apps to sd card's 2nd Partition.
If you gets the error that unable to create mount script, failed etc see Marshmallow method for its solution
METHOD FOR ANDROID 6 MARSHMALLOW:
On Marshmallow, after doing same above method, in last, while creating script, you will get error that mount script not created blah blah blah!!
Ignore it, no problem, Don't uninstall Link2sd,
Install another app named App2sd:All in one tool from here Play Link for App2sd
Now open this app and give root permissions,
now click the Link apps to SD Card.
It will ask for partitions style, select ext4 and dont tick init.d support, and done it, it will successfully create the script...
Now you wish if you want to use app2sd for linking or Link2sd.
Open link2sd and see storage, it will show u 2nd partition too cause app2sd write script for link2sd too too nice app
Now you are able to Link apps on any device
