Hello, I use an stock and not rooted firmware (.133) from Vodafone Germany. yesterday I try to copy pictures, Videos to the SD Card with the build in tool from sony. But I became an error message
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and the copying stopped. Only folder was created.
Then I move all files they exists on SD card to the internal storage and format the SD Card with the option under the settings. now I can't copy the files back to the SD card with any file Explorer.
Has the build in format and copy files to SD card option stopped working since Android 4.4.4 and I must root for this?
Anyone with the same problem?
Sorry for my English :-/

You have to use a system app to write to sd card on KitKat
To get round this you can use the file commander app that comes with the ROM or
Root and apply the sd card fix found in the general section or use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en (Requires root)

I did this with my old xperia Z easily WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader. But with Z1 it's a different story. After the root (easyroot method) I realized that SDfix doesn't work because the system folder is mounted READ ONLY. Now I stucked, even if my Z1 is rooted, sytsem folder is not writable, so totally useles. Trials to mount the system folder r/w manually failed too. Can you tell me how to root properly the Z1 (kitkat 4.4.4) WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader (I don't want to loose the warranty)?
I did not say to unlock the bootloader I said to root, that's different.
I suggest that if your system is not mountable as read/write then you do not have full root.
To root fully follow the link in my signature.

you were right, I've redone the whole root process again, and finally I have full root, SDFix works.
Very important: I had to turn off firewall and virus checking before the procedure (copmany laptop is not ideal for rooting ).
Okay it works after root access

There is probably a guide for this already, but if there is, it is deep, deep down
What we will need:
Some way to connect the SD Card to the PC (using the phone USB with storage mode on is fine)
Minitool partition wizard - http://partitionwizard.com - the home edition is fine for this.
The steps:
Connect the SD card to the computer
Launch minitool

Select your SD Card MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SELECT YOUR HARD DRIVE!
On the left, there will be an option to Resize the drive. Select this and resize as necessary (If you have a 6GB drive, and want a 1GB ext2, resize it to 5GB).
Do the same again for a swap partition.
Check the operations on the left bar, to make sure you are happy with them and click 'Apply'.
Wait for it to complete. DONE! Eject you sdcard, and put it back into your phone. You can now download an app like link2sd to use it, or use swap
NOTE: I am in no way responsible if your data goes missing!
NOTE2: Not all ROM's have swap support. Most (if not all) CM rom's now do, however, you may need the 07swapon script. Please check my post to get that
It's the same thread like this?:

I think you or anyone could make a tutorial about how to build up a system (not a kernel, but just a e.g. cm7, cm9, aokp, aosp), in order to make our developer thread much more colorful. Just an idea...
To build from source it builds both system and kernel...

So how is link2sd and clockwormod recovery backup?
When I have ext2/3/4 secondary partition and create backup, than do files and linked stuff go to sd-ext? After restore will there be working linking during boot? And what happens when the secondary partition is fat32?

When you backup with CWM, as long as the ROM you are using mounts the /sd-ext.
When the backup file is made, the sd-ext file contains all the symlinks, so yes, backups work (I have made it loads of times).
Hello.
Why my internal memory is low (56 mb) but all my aps is linked to SD on a ext4 partition with Link2Sd ?
Where is the problem?
I cleaned and relinked everything and memory still low
Till yasterday my memory was ~110 mb. Maybe Juice defender ultimate is the problem? Is my last installed app.

I encountered this problem once and switched using "INT2EXT4+" instead, you don't have to manually move stuff with that script and I havent noticed any problem with it.
Use titanium backup to backup all your apps if you're not already using it.

ok
how to use INT2EXT4+ ?
I don't have an app like Link2SD.
Try going to data/local with a root explorer and delete .apk files in there. Link2sd sometimes makes a copy when linking apps and they end up in there, just taking up internal space.

The tutorial is in the link. It makes the phone have more "internal" storage (using the space from the SD card) so all you gotto do is to install apps and they will work as they usually do. You have to partition your SD-card, just search "partition SD card xda" on google and ull find a tutorial for that.
Used amarulz script dude it can make our internal memory higher with make our sdext become internal i have 1.5GB for internal but u must deleted other script with similar function to avoid bootloop..

yeah because some ROM already have script sdext u must remove it before using amarulz script..
use rootexplorer go to system>etc>init.d
When you link apps to sd-ext, the data from all those applications still stay on internal memory. Those consumes a lot of space. Better try moving movable applications to sd card.
Even I also faced the same problem on an earlier ROM. Didn't find a solution though.
To install Myth3, i created a ex partition in SD card through Clockwork mod. Now i wanted to flash another rom. My SD card is 8 GB and now if i connect to the system it shows 6.85 GB available. I want to delete the partition created in the SD Card. How to do it?
Thanks in advance
Hi shaneadams!
You could use MiniTool Partition Home Wizard from this link (by eraser0) :

You can use Computer Management section if You run Windows OS.
You can delete partitions there. I always use it.

Hi SzalonyKronicarz!
If the SD partition is ext2/ext3/ext4 Windows OS will not see it.
Though, Windows OS computer management section is useful for FAT/FAT32/NTFS partitions.
Good luck.

I can't agree with You.
It works just fine for deleting partitions.
Windows may not use this type of partitions but can see and delete.
Actually I don't have any english version of Windows but I'd like to show You that I am right:
You can see, that partitons exist.
It says "Zdrowy,nieznana partycja" - english: healthy - unknown partition.
You can also see "Usuń partycję" - english: delete partition.
Both partitions were created under CWM Recovery.

have you tried other file manager?
already try cyanogen file manager, file expert hd, not working.. what file manager can i use? any suggestion?
Are those files on your external SD card? Since KitKat, only system apps have full read/write access to the external storage.
Either use the provided File Commander, or root and modify the SD card permissions with an app like this, then any file manager will work again.

Or use File Commander if it's preinstalled in your rom. It's a system app, therefore has full read and write permissions for external storage.

SD Card Write Fix
Just edit etc/permissions/platform.xml (using root explorer) as shown below...and reboot...
add line:
<group gid="media_rw" />
Now all apps will be able to write to external SD Card... This is a temporary manual fix until we have a working custom recovery)

It's a very simple fix but can't really be done without root. It's not the n4 it's kitkat itself on all phones as far as I'm aware
Root and then unroot
I've been reading that rooting the Note 4 has a negative effect on several built-in apps like SoftCard (a.k.a., ISIS). If I root the Note 4, make this change, and then un-root the Note 4, will this fix stick?
TIA,

If you manage to unroot the Note 4 without flashing the stock rom again then... Yes, it should stick...
In other words... You have to unroot the device and keep the rom in the current "modified" state... Because, remember that if you reflash stock rom in order to unroot... Then you are overwriting the system file that you already modified...
Got it. Thank you!
This worked great on my shiny new rooted note 4. Thank you.

Not really. Some apps like Solid Explorer, Root Explorer, and Titanium backup still giving me grief over this issue. I still have to resort to this fix to get them to work properly.
