problem with folder sdcard and consequently app that write on memory - Galaxy Note 4 General

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

[Q] Medscape app uninstall and cleanup

I tried posting this in the app and themes forum but had no luck, I have an issue with the Medscape app. I wasn't able to update the library so I uninstalled the app and manually deleted the library files from me Medscape folder, later I learned that the update problem was because of the adblock app. I solved that and tried to reinstall Medscape, so far so good. When I try to re install the library files, the app tells me theres no update available (???) and it shows the current files as if they are installed, but the folder is still deleted and when I try to look up something in the database, nothing comes up.
Is there a way to wipe completely the Medscape db registry so I can do clean install?
Thanks a lot

I had the exact same problem and I wasn't able to solve it... Only a factory reset did it...
I'm not root but if you are root go to /data folder and delete medscape info from that. I think it might work.
The problem is that you deleted the Mescape folder from your SD card but it contains a database file (maybe the index of articles) so anything you search returns nothing!
The solution would be to delete that old account information and data, and I think it resides in the /data folder but I can't confirm that because I'm not root.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. Nothing related to medscape on the /data folder. I'll keep looking or I'll clean install when I flash Gingerbread

Having similar Medscape problem, this time I cannot delete Medscape pics/icons in my Gallery. Practically FC's whenever I try to open.
These are .PNG files - is there a trick to delete these?
===
UPDATE: I discovered that I could delete one of the PNG pics in the Gallery folder but not delete a second one - the Gallery app would freeze. It actually required a power ON/OFF to "reset" the gallery folder (whose ("number of files") did show that the pic was indeed deleted) and permit me to delete another image. For some reason, as I was fiddling with the FILES app, a Medscape folder popped up (it hadn't appeared before) and it had hundreds of low-kb files in it, including the PNGs. Luckily I was able to delete this Medscape folder without a hitch... other than the 2 minutes it took to actually delete. And wouldn't you know it: my Epic is running faster than ever. What is in that Medscape app I wonder...

My issue is another,
I m using SG2 rooted, i removed my ad blocker and re install Medscape.
So i finaly managed to start instaling the resaurces .... the resaurces started from 1 of 24 ...and downloading ...
Is it logical to keep downloading ...after the 24 ... has been downloaded already?
for example 34 of 24 ...and keep going??
Hi!
I've a problem when trying to update my Medscape app. When I try to get ref updates, it suddently appears: "Not able to complete download at this time"
I've read this post , where they speak about ad blocking apps causing this problem, however I'm using cyanogenmod CM11 M12, without any apps of this kind, more over, I searched for Hosts file, and when I open it, there's only this line: "127.0.0.1 localhost". I don't know what else to do, I've tried unistalling the app, cleaning all data before so, In deed, I've also tried to do a clean install of CM11 M12, with no luck.
Wish you could help me!

[Fixed] Screwed up motorola.blur.providers.contacts

Tried to view one of my contacts and got a FC on Contacts Storage (motorola.blur.providers.contacts). Do not know whether this has ever worked. Have had this Bionic for a couple days and froze a bunch of Motorola ****. The list isn't very long and I can provide that if necessary, but I'm just assuming this is what has caused my Contacts issue.
On to the actual issue, I uninstalled Contacts Storage (using Titanium Backup) and was going to reinstall it from the backup, but TB just hangs.
Tried all three different "App Processing modes" in TB and it hangs on restore regardless of this setting.
Extracted the apk out of Titanium Backup folder and tried to run it manually and it won't go (using ES File Explorer, mounted System as R/W).
Tried moving it to /system/app/ and running it (still mounted R/W) and it fails.
Will restoring ONLY "System" fix my problem and not delete all my other data that I've been busy setting up? Is there even a way to restore only System, using that FXZ?
If I can just chill and not worry about it until they come out with Clockworkmod Recovery, how do I make a flashable zip with just Contacts Storage in it?
Edit: Tried installing with adb and it fails with Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]. I see other apps in the /system/app folder have .odex files with them. Am I just missing this one for the contacts (did it get removed by TB?)?
Edit: Got the .odex file from here and it still fails trying to install via Root Explorer.
Edit: Installation via adb with NO switches fails with Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]
Installation via adb with /l switch to Forward Lock it fails with Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
That Forward Lock one was a little past my point of not knowing what the hell I'm doing, so I will just chill and wait for a response. Thanks!
Edit: FXZ'd back to stock, installed CWM Recovery, backed up, restored Data only from the damaged instance via CWM Recovery, wiped cache. Everything is great and I didn't lose any data! Just had to get a fresh /system/ in there...

...is the file browser which fc? or which app?
If the app that you are changing the permissions is running, It's normal that It fc, so you can go to settings > apps and force close manually it before change their permissions, It should work
If you want to change permissions of apps as systemui, statusbar, phone, contacts, framework-res etc IT'S NORMAL THAT THEY FC BEACAUSE THEY ARE RUNNING CONSTANTLY, you'll need to do it via cwm

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
Greets Lars
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.

[Q] Fix internal storage permissions?

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!
