Good afternoon,
Over the last few days I've been trying to fix my SD Card writing capability on my rooted HTC One XL, running Paranoid OTA, ROM Version 4.6 Beta 5 (20141022) with Google apps version:mini 4.4.4 (20141011). I've looked around in the forums (including the "similar threads" list suggested to me before writing this thread) and all the solutions I've encountered use some kind of app (e.g FolderMount). Unfortunately, any app I've tried encounters an error when moving apps to SD cards. FolderMount, for instance, says that there is an "unknown error" when moving an application folder and stalls at 0%. Other apps display similar error messages.
I've also done my homework by reading up on the well-known article "KitKat and SD cards — what's fixed, what's broken and what's misunderstood" (unfortunately I can't post outside links because this is my 1st post, but you can Google the title if you need to) which explains why Google proceeded to make these changes with regard to the access of the SD Card from apps.
Finally, I've checked out a manual solution from Droid Views entitled "Fix Write Capability to External SD Card on KitKat Manually [Root]" (again, sorry for not being able to post a direct link). This solution suggests that I edit /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to include the line <group gid="media_rw"/>. Unfortunately, when I opened that particular xml file, I noticed that it already has that line added.
Currently, all new apps are sent to my phone's internal storage by default, and I can't move them to the SD Card no matter what I've tried (as explained previously). The only good news is that my photos and videos actually do go to the SD Card, so it's not like the card is completely invisible to the OS. The problem limits itself to apps, and it's a real problem because my internal storage is very limited in space, and after a while apps can't update, and naturally extreme fragmentation occurs, hampering my device's performance.
I was wondering if there was a solution for my phone / OS setting. Thank you.
