Hi, so I've been searching with no solution. I'm on a CM13/Android 6.01 rom, SuperSU rooted and using Xposed. ExternalSD is a 128GB Samsung EVO+ and is setup as "portable storage" (Exfat). I am having SD card write access problems since the upgrade to Marshmallow. Titanium can't write to my external SD and then all my non-root apps can't get SD card permission, the most glaring is F-stop's option to allow SD card access in it settings (this is supposed to call the native picker so you can grant access to the SD card) crashes on press. Yet Solid explorer, Apps2SD and all my other root apps besides Titanium seem to have SD card access fine.
So what I am looking for is links/info links on any of the following:
1) Any Xposed/root app that bypasses the SD card restrictions for all apps. Recognized dev Defim is the only one I could fine that is still being maintained but it seems that it doesn't work on Marshmallow.
2) Instructions on how do I manually give external SD card write access to each app individually in CM13.
3) Reaching here but: What binary is used when the picker is called to give external SD card access to an app? I run Xprivacy but to be clear, I have disabled Xprivacy (unchecked the module in Xposed and rebooted) and still had the same problem, but I would like to observe the binary and see what permissions it is using to at least start to troubleshoot this.
4) Any other threads with other options for fixing Android external SD card permissions issues on Marshmallow?
Thanks for any link assist!

Might you have some other links I could try? Not for lack of trying, this forum has some great helpful users, but that didn't work. Last reply there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65578227&postcount=15479.

Yes, kitkat has a "strange" access rights management. No write access for user installed apps for the external sd card.
You can read about it here: Fix Your SDCard Issue On KitKat.
If your device is rooted, you can "fix" it like described here: [APP][4.4][ROOT] SDFix: Modify device permissions to allow apps to write to MicroSD.
As long as your device is not rooted, it's a little bit more complex. You have to use a system app ... maybe the stock file explorer will work.
If this doesn't work either, check that the sd card is not "locked" accidentcially.
Can you unmount and remount the sd card in Settings > Storage > ... ?
Hey all,
Does the Z3 support installing every app fully to the SD card? I ask because 16gb seems a bit limiting if you can't fully use the SD card.
I just came here to ask the same question. In Kitkat 4.4.4 (and maybe other versions?) the 'Move to SD' is disabled/not there and it is up to the phone manufacturer to enable/add it. There is no option in settings on the Z3 to move app data to your SD card. It is very easy to enable apps to be able to use the SD card, either manually or using an app such as SDFix (but you will need to be rooted).
Here are some questions I would like answered if anyone knows:
There are folders on the SD card for most apps in /Android/data/ for example, 'com.microsoft.skydrive'. That same folder is also in the same place (/Android/data/) on the phones memory and contains data for the app. Can that just be moved with a file explorer to the SD card? If so are there any other steps to take?
Is there an app to automate moving data or a way to add the button in settings, apps?
Cheers
Wait till 5 ! It's was disabled is kk
You can use FolderMount to transfer game data to external storage (sdcard)
I use it and it is really essential to me
installed 4 big games
All of a sudden now since I put in a new SD card into my tablet I can't seem to grant write permission to apps, or more I can't see the card in the window to give permission to grant it. When it takes me to the window to grant permission all it has on the left is recent and internal storage, going into the menu on the right it's already set to show SD card, selecting hide SD card hide internal storage, so basically it's acting like the internal storage is the SD card and there is no SD card. my tablet is not rooted and is running the latest software update available.
rooting the tablet will allow you to fix it easily. the exSD problem has been around for awhile.
one of the easiest ways to do it is to install a free app that does it for you. (then uninstall if you have no plans to use it)
TWRP manager and Foldermount come to mind, they will both fix the SD issue autoamagically when you first run them.
you can not fix this issue, to my knowledge, without root permissions.
At this point don't want to go thru everything for rooting till after they push out Marshmallow to the tablet. What I don't get though is why it's a not working correctly now, giving apps write permission worked totally fine before when I had my old 32gb SD card in there, it just won't let me grant permission to the new 64gb card.
I bought a new phone Tesla Smartphone 6.1 (is the same as Ulefone Paris) and i just dont see "Move to SD card" option in Settings>Apps. Even in Storage i set my default write disk to SD card, but even when i install a new app it goes to internal memory. Is there a way i can move apps (such as 9gag, Ashpalt 8, etc..) to sd card? Without beeing rooted. And by the way is using Android 5.1. Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
I believe that moving apps to the microsd card is a root feature that you can use from xposed modules or from apps on the play store. So you must root your phone in order to move apps to the sd card.

Hello. I had a Note 4 (with Android 5.1.1) and my SD card worked well. In my S7, this card is read-only, which is quite annoying for Titanium Backup. I tested with 2 others cards, formatted by the S7 in exFat, and the issue is still there. Am i the only one ? Is there any software solution like SD Fix for Android 4 ?
Thanks.

Cant modify any files in sd storage nor sd card in my S7.
Help please.

From my understanding, The app being used should be updated by the developer to be able to use the android feature to ask for permission to access SD card for editing, deleting. Incase the app has not been uodated by the developer it will fail to access the sd card for writing. Once a new app is installed and run, it shall ask for permission to access, which should be granted. Atleast this is what has happened with me, but the apps which are not updated since few months back are not able to access the sd card.
