hi guys, with all the problems kitkat is giving to us with the sd-cards, I thought that at least music will be playable through it.
I just put some music on my sd-card, and went for a run, the HTC music app recognized the music but when i pressed play no music came out
I tried music from my internal memory and it worked perfectly...
is this a known thing? can it be fixed? and last question, I did researched about it and could not find anything but I read some articles that suggest that android L will support sd-card, is it true?
BTW, I'm on rooted and S-OFF device using latest ARHD if it matters.
cheers
I have no problem playing musics from external sdcard.
All my music files are on external sdcard (Don't have much anyway)

Why don't you post in that ROM thread, maybe someone has idea why it doesn't work for you.
BTW I'm on a rooted device with stock ROM and external sdcard writeable fixed.

what do you mean by writeable fixed?

Means that the sdcard can be writeable. As you mentioned above, google stop the sdcard write access on KitKat, so you need to fix that on your own.
Anyway, what I know most custom ROM has this fix included in the ROM. So ARHD may have that fix included. So ... it's best to ask in the ROM thread as your problem may not related to sdcard read/write problem.
Must be a Rom issue as I copied over a load of music to my sd card the other day and the stock music player played it no problem. I'm stock unrooted by the way.

Those errors are likely caused by a hardware error (bad internal memory chip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039504
Hey rickyiswhite, I've experienced the same problem with my htc hd2. I am not hundred percent sure how and why this happened, but I managed to get my phone back to life. Here are two methods which I think might help you.
1. You might be missing 'initrid' and 'zImage' files in your sd card. You need these two files to flash new rom from your sd card otherwise the phone cant 'recognize' your sd card. You can find these two files from any rom you have downloaded, just copy and paste them into your sd card's root folder.
2. If this is not the case, I would recommend you to format your sd card (fat 32, i tried once to format my sd card to ntfs, and kind of destroyed it), and clear everything inside your phone using 'task29', which means you will lose everything stored inside your phone and sd card. Then you can uninstall and reinstall the HSPL (this might not be necessary, but I did that, just to make sure everything is cleared). Afterwards you just have to flash the radio and the magldr back. What's left now is to copy your rom into your sd card, remember to copy the 'initrd' and 'zImage' as well, and flash the rom, done!
However, I can't guarantee this would work because you know, different devices, so you have to take your own risk and responsibility to do this. FYI, you can also flash a new rom through computer, using the DFT.exe inside the rom. But currently most of the roms are flashed through magldr or clk, so it would take you some time to find the rom that can be flashed directly via computer.
Anyway, good luck to you, and hope these tips might help
Is there a way to get ROM MANGER to default to the Internal "SD" card for backups? It always goes to my external card.
I know I can manually launch clockworkmod and select "internal SD" but I would rather do it from within the O/S so I can name the files.
you can always rename the files however you like with any file editor to rename them
and you can move the zip files around to either Internal SD or External SD
personally i like them on the External SD better to safe space on my Internal SD
I do that but like the convenience of doing it from the O/S. I thought I preferred the external as well until yesterday. The reason I want to do that is because when I tried doing a restore from the external it kept crashing. Seems my 32GIG card is flaky (as these cards can be) and I couldn't restore. I know it's the card because it restored fine from the internal SD. The internal ram, not being a "card" is much more reliable and now I am too skittish to use the external MicroSd for backups.
PM Koush or sent him an email for a feature request on his CWR
to let user pick where the backup are kept
I think I'm missing something!?
It looks like it's included already?

Well I'll be a son of a b .......... I tried MENU everywhere except from the main screen! Dohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Thanks for making me look foolish, I deserved it! But I don't feel that bad since Allgamer didn't recall either,
not exactly, i was thinking more in the area of Letting you select a Folder you like.
i do know of the internal vs. external option
that's why i said i like it to be on the external by default a few messages above
ideally we should be able to pick a folder to keep all that stuff, i'll like to point it to a folder called "ROMs" for example in the root of /sdcard/
instead of the default
(titanium backup just recently added that feature, well more like they improved it)
Hi guys this is my first post in xda developers but i've always solved my troubles with your help. But now i really need to expose my problem, cause actually i can't find a solution even if there are many posts about it.
I changed my clockworkmod from 6.0.1.0 to 6.0.4.5 to flash a 4.4 android version rom on my galaxy w.
everything went okay, i guess but i had some issues with photo gallery (kinda everything duplicated, so i had a bunch of ''useless-double-files'').
One day later I decided to go back to my 4.0 rom and here the mess begins. I tried a restore from cwm but i couldn't because there was an error about restoring /data (but there's still the recovery date in that list) so I re-flash the 6.0.1.0 cwm and the 4.0 android rom, but when i turn off my phone all my pictures was GONE.
I plug my device to my computer and it says that the available space is almost full, like when the mess wasn't happen, but when i browse the pictures i can't find them. :crying:
I tried this and everything goes til this:

(even if my .raw is only 8mb???? )
edit: i looked up in partitions of my phone here and i re-did all this but downloading mmcblk0 instaed of mmcblk0p12 that was only 8mb. this is goin over 1,80 gb. is this the correct partition?
how can I turn .raw file in files?
Please help me guys, i literally waste my all day.
(Sorry for my bad english tho)
(sorry for double posting) i've got news..
i finally got my .raw / .vhd files. they are
mmcblk0p28 (that is my mnt/sdcard stuff 1,7 gb like my internal storage phone is. it's 100% full but i didn't find much.. only small pictures)
mmcblk0p17 (that is /data and i find not much pictures in this)
then i tried mmcblk0 that was the largest file (the whole phone i guess?) but when I attach it as a vhd in disk management it comes already partitioned and allocated. what does it mean??
should i give up? i will never get my pictures back? :crying:
Root is needed. Since many people have been complaining that you cannot install apps to the SD card I found a solution.
It is an app called gltosd. I have been using that on the stock ROM too.
Now the tutorial:
Install the app. Next go to your internal memory and copy the data of the game to /sdcard1/obb which is the folder gl stores app data inside. Now after moving that reboot your device and run the game in the app, after pressing the chain button on the top.
If you have a Gameloft game then store the data to
/sdcard1/games
Data folders (previously in /internal/android/data) are moved to:
/sdcard1/data
Again if you didn't see obb goes:
/sdcard1/obb
Here you go that is it. If you still have issues running apps reboot.
If I solved your issue please just thank me.

It works. But still cant install games from Google Play. For me the best was storage swap, so... finger crossed that anybody find out working method on lollipop.
So as to move apps to SD card and to edit System apps you can also use Link2SD application. (Root needed)
Well, bro, nice app, but there's one more great available, Folder Mount... #JustSaying
Thanks bro, it worked !!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

It's a lot easier bro, you just have to create a folder with same name as it is on internal storage, place the folder at appropriate location, as per need and just have to link them, sdcard folder will be mounted at boot and you can launch the app directly, so efficient.
Here's a example for you

Actually this does not move apps 2 sd crad, you may want to change the title of this thread
And for the same purpose, I suggest using folder mount because it is far better :good:
You could mount any apk data with folder mount.

Anyone know an easy way to grant universal write access to the external SD card on Marshmallow? I was using the Play store app SDFix which worked for both KK and Lollipop, but the app doesn't work on Marshmallow

I haven't found an application for that. Unless an application asks for media rw access, not much can be done with MM. For example, the Samsung browser can download to internal sdcard or micro sdcard. Some apps just write to internal sdcard.
What I did notice using freeza's ROM, the permissions are relaxed for apps that do write to extSdCard. I was able to get media rw access for titanium backup where stock would limit to data rw only. On stock ROM, titanium wouldn't show the micro sdcard if navigating via /mnt/media_rw path to use the titanium backup feature that protects a backup from overwrite.

Have you tested this with MM?
This was how it was done in LP but from what I have read it doesnt work on MM.
Can you confirm?
Well being i replied on Pe2 I would think yes.works fine for me. Your mileage may vary.
