No folders "writable" according to titanium backup - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just gained s-off after rooting, have gigs of space everywhere, super user this, super su that, busy box(why all these apps anyway?)... All other apps can write wherever, now that I'm rooted. Anywhere is settings it looks for folders to save backups says folder isn't writable. I have no custom rom yet as I've not backed anything up. Googled this but apparently I'm the only person in the world with this doozy. Any ideas?

Navigate to /system/etc/permissions
Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Add this <group gid="media_rw" />
Save the changes and reboot.
DONE
Use RootExplorer to do that. Or other app like RootExplorer.

Thanks. Interestingly, that entry was already there. This is what happened next with es explorer:
then with root explorer:
Hmm... Thanks a lot tho for replying. We're getting close. I can feel it

Do you have root? Busybox installed ? If not flash SuperSU update and busybox. Both are flashable zip's. Just look for SuperSU update.zip and Busybox.zip

Yes I've root. I'll try again, but I will note that I had those but since they didn't help with TB I just uninstalled them, and remember, that code already is there. So I don't know what there is to try next.

When you want to delete files with es you need to set root permissions in the app itself.
Tools - set root on - also tap it once to enable the R/W rights
Looks like this :

Titanium backup won't write anywhere, not on phone either. If this is ext sd specific, should it apply here?

Yes, thank you a lot. And others who contributed. And sorry for my "noob rage" lol. HTC should have this info and post it. Even if they aren't responsible for it they should take some.

New Transparent Google Market 2.3.6

Here's a nice version of the Google Market, based on the latest Market version 2.3.6. It has a blue theme with a translucent background, so you can see your homescreen wallpaper through the Market App.
Just over-write your vending.apk with this one. It's either in /system/app or data/test/froyo/system/app depending on how you installed Market in the first place.

Yeah, some parts didn't come out correctly. I pulled it from a custom CM7 rom, and the text background doesn't show on my phone, but on Archos the text color is inverted. Strange, but still better than the stock version.
maybe I am doing this wrong or missed at step but it didn't work for me. I downloaded opened with Astro file Manager tried to upgrade and it failed installation. I am nonrooted running stock Archos 70IT software.

You need root access to do this. You might be able to copy the apk to the data/app directory, or data/test/froyo/app, if you don't have root with R/W access.
seems pretty~ but any other color?
Probably somewhere, but all I have is blue.
Yikes... I can't seem to get this to work. I am rooted and tired using Astro but it won't let me replace it. Oh well! It sure does look pretty.

You will need to use Root Explorer or ADB to replace it. Astro doesn't use root permissions, so even if you are rooted, Astro is not.

Hah, no problem. I used to forget all the time and try to use ES File Explorer.

Sorry, for gappinstaller it should be in /data/test/froyo/system/app
Yea,i placed the vending.apk in the wrong directory and it crashed the market,now i cant get it working again,it keeps crashing.I even formatted and reinstalled everything and still no go.

Um, you did a full reformat, and you think it still has something to do with it? There's no way. All you had to do was delete the apk that you put in the wrong place, besides, there's only a couple places you could put it that it would even be recognized.
Sorry for the trouble, but it's unrelated to my apk.
nice!
no more boring market!
OMG ! Thanks dude !
It worked ! OMG !
THANKS !
Hitted the "Thanks" button btw
I tried it, but when you open the detail page of an app, some fields are white. So I like the normal market more, but it's a nice idea.

How to define the path of an external card

Hello
I installed an application that gives me the option to install its database on a path of my choice.
So I would like to install it on the external memory but I can not set the path to the external memory.
Knowing that the default path is / sdcard / My application. This makes the database to be installed in the internal memory.
I tried /storage/extSDCard/ but I get the message 'no such directory'.
My phone is S4 mini Duos i9192
thank you
Please help me

Ok, how about create a folder and point to there? Example create a folder called "Myfile" than use /storage/extSDCard/Myfile/ <-- give it a shot. If it still not working, them it most likely the app itself or Kernel/rom related issue.

I need someone who has galaxy s4 mini and try himself on his phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tool.offline.translation.dictionary&hl=fr
In fact the application is small and looks like 'google translate'. I can move the application to the sd card without difficulty.
the problem is that once the application is installed, I have to download language packages which are a bit big.
By default, the application installs these packages in the internal memory. But it gives me the option to change the path to another directory.
What I seek is to define a path that will allow the application to install these packages in the external sd card.
thanks

if you are on the most recent version of the app, it may not install over it, i would either uninstall it or if you are not rooted try to find a lower version and install over that. kind of like a downgrade. it works for me but the playstore wants to update it. just dont let it

After much messing around with my phone, I finally decided to go into system/app and delete the original vvm file, and then go into app manager and turn it off, and uninstall it. I then copied this file over to my sd card, pushed it to sys/app and then rewrote the permissions, rebooted, and FINALLY HAVE THE DARK THEMED VVM!!! Now, whether it stays like that or not, that is to be determined!! But thanks for all the help guys!!:victory:

Yeah...that's why I mentioned trying an older, more stable version of ES. BETA can do weird things. (The link you provided brings me to 3.2.5.5...where is 4.0.1?) I'm on 3.2.5.5 and all is well...maybe try 3.2.5.4?
Good luck. Sorry I couldn't help.
