[Q] Fix internal storage permissions? - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I don’t know whether problem is actually with the permissions so I’ll just post the details below.
My phone is rooted and I have TWRP.
I had a lot of apps on my phone and it was getting slow. So I decided to factory reset it. I went to the settings and factory reset the phone. While rebooting, the TWRP screen flashed and the phone reboot. But some of the folders in the internal storage were deleted. The Camera and WhatsApp images folders were still there. The Downloads and Bluetooth folders were deleted. I use Quick Pic gallery app. I could see the Camera and WhatsApp images via Quick Pic. But when I navigated to that particular folder using a file manager, the folders were empty. Even when I connected the phone to my PC using a data cable, the camera folder was empty. I know the files are there because I could see the size of the internal storage. When I open Quick Pic, I get a message “not an error (code 0): could not open database in read/write mode“. I can’t copy any files to the internal storage also. When I tried to copy a song to the ringtones folder in internal storage, the copy failed with the message, “Open Failed: EACCESS (Permission denied)”.
So I did some research and thought that the problem was with the internal storage permission. So I went to TWRP and clicked on “Fix Permissions”. The phone got stuck at the moto boot animation. So I downloaded the stock ROM and flashed it. The phone boots now but the old problem is still there. Apps keeps force closing. Whenever I take a pic, I get a message saying the gallery app has stopped. Instagram and Smart Voice Recorder keeps force closing as soon as I open them.
I don’t know what to do. Please help me. If there’s any other info that I need to provide, please let me know.
Thanks a lot!

[Q] Oops!

Please help. I have a few questions.
I have recently installed Titanium Backup on my Captivate and i accidentally converted the system messaging app (SMS/MMS) to a user app. It was not backed up. It no longer appears as an app in titanium backup. Can not find it anywhere. The messaging icon has disappeared from my home screen. I opened my contacts and selected a person to send a text and hit "send message" button and got an error message saying " the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. I had to force close. I then performed a Factory Data Reset in hopes that my phone would return to the "out of the box" state. No luck.
My phone is rooted of course. Froyo 2.2
Through some investigating i learned that my phone can be booted into recovery mode, which i did. No luck. No update.zip file exist. What do i do? Thanks in advance for your help.
If i unroot the device and then do a data factory reset will that work?
If you have a 2.2 rom in your computer you can look for the .apk and just run it from the phone.
Get a file explorer that has root access (root explorer for example) You will have to mount system r/w which if you're using root explorer is a button on the top right.
navigate to /data/app and see if mms.apk is there. If so long press it select move, navigate to /system/app and paste it in then reboot.

Wrong path to SD Card

Hello,
Something goes wrong at my ROM. I installed an app to fix the writepermission. It works, all things fine. But then I played with some apps to customize my ROM and suddenly an freeze and then an reboot. After this my es Explorer tells me "path not found". The sdcard symlink goes to /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/. The other path to access the sdcard are /sdcard1/ /storage/sdcard1/
This works but not the symlink. I can also access the sdcard with Apps like Google+, picture Album or other. Only the Explorer won't work.
I try to change the /system/etc/permission/platform.xml but won't work. (I copied the stock file from the rom zip)
Can anyone help me to fix this? I don't want reflash the rom. I'm at Holiday and no wifi to update all the apps again. [emoji33]
Thanks

Start your phone without sdcard, then put it back. See if this works. Try uninstalling the apps that messed your phone.
Nothing works. I make an Backup of my Apps and data and make an reinstall. Problem solved.

Can't delete photos on XT1096 with MOFO

Guys, I have a MOFO "rooted" device, trying to delete photos. Using the Gallery or Photo app the pictures are being deleted (at least that's what the app is saying). In Photos I go to Trash, empty it, and all pics are gone. I have Moto X connected to PC via USB - the DCIM/Camera folder is empty. However Storage tells me that I'm still using 2.5G for photos. Once I reboot all the pictures are there again, like I never even deleted them. When I try to delete them using a file manager I get an error message that it can't be deleted (which makes sense because of permissions).
So how do I delete photos w/o flashing the image again? I tried wiping cache but of course that didn't help either.

problem with folder sdcard and consequently app that write on memory

i have this maxi problem
the terminal is note4 with alliancerom lollipop and twrp.
the owner says he touched the app permissions in settings but now i have allow all.
I have tried using a root browser to write a file in folder sdcard but it is unsuccessful (failed operation). I would like to bakup chat in whatsapp it up by writing in databases folder does not work. probably there.
I did various tests, with the recovery file manager i can write on memory, I tried reinstalling rom (no wipe to keep the data) but I have not been successful. I think it is a system app that haven't write permissions but maybe I'm wrong.
does anyone have any idea?
thank you

EMUI Gallery App issue

Hello All,
Since long time i facing some issue related to Gallery App. Below is the description.
On Memory Card there is path /Memory Card/Xender/images/abc.jpg. In Gallery it's showing correct path, in 'Other' section of Gallery there is folder named 'images' and in that abc.jpg is showing.
I move /Memory Card/Xender/images/abc.jpg to new location /Memory Card/Pictures/My/abc.jpg and deleted the folder /Memory Card/Xender and all it's content.
Now, when i open Gallery in 'Other' section i can still see folder named 'images' (which was in /Xender/ and i have already deleted it) and in that abc.jpg is still showing. However when i check properties/details of abc.jpg in Gallery it shows me correct path which is /Memory Card/Pictures/My/abc.jpg.
Though folder has been deleted and image file has been moved to different location, why Gallery is showing that folder and image in that folder.
To resolve this i have to clear data of Gallery App and due to which all highlights and discover gets deleted. Which is really sad..
Can someone please help me to resolve this issue or provide the workaround without losing any data.
Reboot dosen't help, also tried to clear Cache of Gallery App.
