Recently many users have been having issues with their internal sdcard not being writable, either due to flashing AOSP and then touchwiz or other reasons. This little guide will help you fix this issue.
Notes-
1. Read all the steps before attempting this
2. I have used this method to successfully fix my sdcard and make it usable
Prerequisites-
1. You will need root
2. You will need terminal emulator on your phone
3. You will need some reading skills and glasses if your eyes are weak..
Steps-
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type "su"
Your screen should look like this
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press enter
3. Now type this command, "restorecon -v -R /data/media"
Your screen should look like this now
su
restorecon -v -R /data/media
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press enter
4. Now you can use your internal sdcard without any issues

Exactly I have typed the command.
And superuser permission granted?
Android - flash, root a enjoy
Possibly the op should consider editing to advise that this solution, like others requires root.

Yeah if you typed the command exactly then terminal probably wasn't granted root.
This has worked for every user that I have recommended to.

There is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work as long as you have root access.

Worked like a charm. Thanks man. Swiftkey had language pack problem but this solved that also.
Many many many THANKS ...
I was getting crazy because of this problem..
You saved me from a big headache
BTW..
I can confirm you that i flashed an AOSP rom (carbon) on my Note 3 ..
After that i have flashed the x-note, and no write permissions for the sdcard (very strange.. no permissions only for the 3rd part explorers..TW file explorer worked instead..)
Is that possible to know the reason of this problem?

I flashed an Aosp rom, then a touchwiz one, and had this problem with installed apps : system apps did not have any problems writing to the internal sdcard.

Close Terminal Emulator then open it and type "su" then hit enter. Terminal needs root permissions before running the command in my previous post. Many commands that are input into Terminal need su granted first.

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.

Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto

you need root to enable it.

HI. I don’t know why, but Samsung did not add multi user support on our beloved note5.
If u want to try it here is the guide to set it up.
I tested and confirm 100% working. This is applicable for all variants.
1. Open up root explorer
2. Navigate to /system
3. Paste in the following line at the bottom of your build.prop

Make sure there is no space. Delete the 177th empty command. Make sure the #Multi Users thing is the next in line. Save and reboot

Did you find a way around this? Freezing IMS Service 1.0 with Titanium backup is the only that have worked for me.
I'm having trouble with this as well, this a guide (that i cannot link as a new user) claims that it should be doable without rooting if you edit it via adb like this:
adb pull /system/build.prop
Edit build.prop with Notepad++ and add:
#Multi Users
fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1
adb push /system/build.prop
adb shell
cd system
chmod 644 build.prop

I've followed all the steps but I still can't find multi user support on my galaxy s7...
Is it root only nowadays?
Thankful for any and all answers,
Jens
