How to Resolve: Open From / Recent Items Menu Empty - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Greets. Working with a shiny new G930F. Flashed Chainfire Root via Odin. Tweaked a bunch using Package Disabler. Nothing out of the ordinary here. I've run into a problem where none of the file managers I've tried (which have root permissions) will allow me to select the root of the external SD card for read/write permissions. I've tried ES File Explorer, Fx, Amaze, and a few others. Every time I try to modify the external sd card, I get a dialog (different in each app) explaining that I have to select the root of the sd card to continue, which I would happily do, except the following dialog has an 'Open From' menu, which is empty. Assuming that the 'Show SD Card' option hadn't been selected, I went ahead and checked. Sure enough, the dialog already had the "Show SD Card" option selected (now presented with a "Hide..." option).
I've checked every permission I can find but I'm not able to select the external SD Card root with any of these apps. The only app that will work, curiously enough, is the My Files app that ships with the phone. I'm at a loss, hoping one of you folks can help out with this one. Screenshots below for reference...

Is the Movies section on this? I installed the new Market a few days ago and it doesn't have the Movies section included...
Just installed this... Haven't rebooted yet, but so far it seems to run very slowly... Getting 'not responding' messages nearly every time I touch the screen. Hopefully it'll sort itself out soon, because I sort of like the idea of book and movie downloads.
Edit: Just gave it a minute, it's running faster now, but I don't see a movies section on this one either... Bummer.
Edit: It seems that movies section doesn't show if you have a rooted device - see the outpouring of rage here.
Nope not true.. I'm rooted and the movie sections shows up and works fine.
Locked & Loaded
I downloaded it, installed, and can't get on. It has a instant force close. Any ideas?
Wipe data in app manger. Then boot into recovery and wipe cache and davlik-cache and try it again.

5. Check home tab again your should now have a v drive
If the drive is not there, go to edit drives tab and then go back to home tab, (home tab may not have refreshed)
6. You can see your drive in your file explorers now under your sdcard, the insides of a freshly made drive look like this
7. You can fill the drive with your data

Additional : You can also unmount the drive to hide the data stored in it and then remount it to access.

the only way to recover these files is if you haven't deleted those files from the gallery itself. Also, some people don't transfer the media files when switching the phones. So make sure to back up the media files when making the switch and you won't lose them!

Can I rename a Sdcard?

Hi guys,
I am pretty new in devices with expandable storage. I recently added one to my Z3 and I'd like to know if I can rename its name. I tried use Rename on Root Explorer, but it failed.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know there's no way to change the "folder name" of the sd-card within android.
It's not like this is the name of the sd card like in windows etc. as android generates a path
to a mount point of said sd card and the name is generated from the sd card serial number / UUID (at least since marshmallow).
Changing this mount point could lead to a bad outcome as all links to the mount point wouldn't work
anymore and apps would literally "serach" in the wrong place for the sd card.
