SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD

This does what it says it does, it every time I reboot my tablet since installing this, it forgets the wallpaper and I have it set it again. This didn't happen before I installed and ran this. If the devs have a fix I'll give 5 stars.

This fixed the problem that was plaguing my SD card in my Note 2 after I flashed back to a stock ROM. I was unable to store anything on my SD card, and apps couldn't read anything on it. I installed this app to fix it, and at first it didn't work (stuck on orange screen for >5 minutes) because my root access through SuperSU broke. After I re-installed SuperSU and got that working properly, I ran this program once again and 5 seconds later I had a working SD card. I don't know what I would have done without this app. Also I am on 4.4.2.

I just bought a new phone running 4.4.2 Kitkat, and i was disappointed that i could no longer have full access to data stored on my SDcard. So i found a way to root my phone, then i downloaded your app, viola i now have full access to my SDcard. Amazing app, i recommend this. Five stars.

My android phone have a problem and i research into it."You need to buy a new sdcard for your phone." But i found this application. And i used this app quickly and easily ^_^ And tadaaa! Now i can delete files for my sdcard so fast without saying "No permission to delete". Now im gonna share this app.

To Modify the permissions as "WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE" added a string as a "media rw" accomplished. The already access to write the MicroSD Cards. In the Event has a unable to write MicroSD cards use mean another apps to resolve this problem. SUCCESS☆☆☆☆☆

The negative reviews of this app are pure BS, the product of clueless users, many of whom obviously can't read. It's for KitKat...not Lollipop, not Marshmallow or any other Android version, for a very specific problem involving add-in MicroSD card access on KitKat. If you're running KitKat and your device is rooted PROPERLY (I recommend SuperSU), then this app will work.

I had jelly bean on my phone and roehsoft ram expander worked correctly. Then I upgraded to kitkat 4.4.2, and now the ram expander can't find the swap file once it has been created. I thought that this Aap could help me out by correcting read and write SD permission but it does nothing....

Tried 1 YouTube solution & almost bricked Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet running Lollipop 5.1.1 . Factory reset got me back to start point. Used SDFIX even though not sure if work on Lollipop 5.1.1 It worked great & now all my apps can pull files off ext sd card, edit them and save back to ext sd card. Thank you!

Google for some reason thought it was a good idea to get rid of write permissions to external SD cards. I installed Titanium Backup to my internal card and backed up all my files then copied over to my external SD. Time came for me to update my backups...no go, would just get "batch backup inttrupted: insufficient free space" error. Googled up on this error, saw this app mentioned, downloaded, ran it...i can now backup apps to my external SD...YAY! Thanks NextApp, Inc!!!

You must have your phone rooted before using this or it will do nothing. It worked perfectly on my L720T running stock(for the time) 4.4 android. Make sure you reboot after it completes.

I took a look at the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file before and after to see how you'd do it. I guess theres no harm in leaving the backup XML sitting there because people who are able to run your app probably aren't taking OTA's that'd fail if they messed around in /system, eh? The fix for my issues was a combination of doing the "adb shell -> su -> restorecon -vR /data/media/0" process and then running your app. Now I can write to internal storage and external storage again, and can finally enjoy Lollipop!

I was going to copy & paste permissions from 4.3 but I downloaded FX manager which led me to this beautiful app which saved me the time of editing the permissions. I have an AT&T S5 so you know all of the additional issues associated when it comes to rooting & etc. Thanks again for such an easy to use app that works flawlessly!

Verizon note 3 4.4.2 works. Glad to have devs work out the kinks the carrier, google and Samsung throw at operating our smartphone in a way we consumers deam smart. My 32 gig internal memory is at it's limit so obvioualy I want to be able to write to SD card.

Thank you for making this. It is absolutely retarded for Google to do this. I hope to hell people learn about this and get mad and force Google to reverse this ridiculous attempt to control what we can do with our devices.

Xperia Z1 kk 444. Rooted of course. Trying to use file manager such as file commander to copy multiple pictures when testing this app. It run smoothly .. Then it stop. Need to cancel a part of the operation. Some pictures copied. I can watched 'em via standard gallery. Then a minutes later they are all gone..the files automatically deleted :( What happened?

The first time I had an issue that didn't allow Titanium to backup to my SD card I manually edited system files to fix it. After doing a factory reset and re-rooting the issue came back. This time I used SDFix. It works fast and gets the job done. Thanks to the Dev's

I used this on my LG G Pad 8.3 GPE and it worked fine. Then out've the blue I cannot write to my SD card I don't know if Google did something new to stop this app fix from working but I'm really bummed now. I'm gonna have to investigate this...

I use this and es file explorer's downloader to FINALLY download from Chrome to my external sd card. My brand new phone was already running out of space! Thanks for an awesome app

I'm 70. You wonderful people who take the trouble to help folk like me. Our generation perseveres alone. Eventually we ask for help by Googling. Out there someone directs me to this app. It's hard for me understand that so many just want to help. Samsung Note 2. Kit Kat 4.4.2 & TitaniumBackup

Just what I needed. Hadnt realised google had blocked the write feature until i tried to edit some music tag info via poweramp (music is stored on my ext sd). Recently got a samsung s5 and upgraded to lollipop 5.0. This app worked perfectly to fix the problem. Now i can do things the way i want to without ridiculous restrictions. Great fix.

I was wondering why Titanium Backup was saying insufficient space for my 32gb sdcard. I realized that it was because KitKat 4.4.2 patched all 3rd-party applications writing to my sdcard. That included Titanium Backup. I just installed this app, pressed a couple of buttons, rebooted my phone, and bingo-bango (lol) TB was able to backup to my sdcard.

I am still surprised when I have to recommend this app to people who don't yet understand about kitkat permissions. Glad that we still have a choice between Google's imposed security measures, and functionality of all of our file managers, extraction tools, etc. Thank you so much.

I m using Xperia z... Before installing this apps there is no option to change the path of storage in sd card for some apps like xender, apps backup and restore but after installing this apps it works... Yuppie very nice thanks developer... Thank you so much :-)

I can't upload files 9n any third party app, only stock... I want to upload profile picture with 9gag app or dolphin, doesn't work, only with stock internet.apk , but es file manager works nice, I rooted the phone for this. Will give 5 stars when you solve the upload glinch.

Thanks heaps!! Worked like a charm. Have been unable to use Google Photos to delete pictures on the SD Card, and this fixed it up :D Galaxy S3 i9305 - 4.4.4

This app fixed the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy A3 (SM-A300Y) running Lollip 5.0.2. If other Lollipop users find this useful the developer/s should consider promoting it for Lollipop as well.

This is hands down the best mod app in the play store. Fixed my storage issue with kitkat & now I have freed up about 3g of internal storage so far. I was very close to running low. Very VERY impressed. Thanks to the developer(s)!

Aside from rooting, trying to make SD access on kitkat was a pain. Doing this took less than 4 seconds on my S5 Active. Thank you guys so much!

I had jelly bean on my phone and roehsoft ram expander worked correctly. Then I upgraded to kitkat 4.4.2, and now the ram expander can't find the swap file once it has been created. I thought that this Aap could help me out by correcting read and write SD permission but it does nothing....

when I take pictures/ videos (default save to sd) and go to view them the files are all corrupted if I save to internal storage they're fine. how can I fix this or undo what this app did?

I have a note 3 and it works. I was getting annoyed because my new 128gb SD card wouldn't work, this made it work..awesome app! Wish I could delete from SD card. Would make this a 5 star app.

This worked on my Galaxy K zoom! Really sad Google have gone Apple and started to restrict us! Google please do not treat us like Isheep! We want freedom!

For days I am fighting with kitkat and the SD-problem, thinking I am to stupid already. Then I found your app and within seconds my problem was solved. A big THANKS for the app!

What you want from a device is freedom and Google always makes way for us. This app does what Google mockingly restricted. That's all right Google, we know you want us to bear responsibility of our acts. We love you google.

Fixed the write permission on the SD card for TiBu. SO beyond happy and it's FREE! My phone was freaking out every morning because it was out of space. Manually transferring files to SD on a daily basis was getting annoying.

This is a great app. The only people who give it a bad rating are idiots who haven't read the description and don't know what it means to have root access

this App really saved my Ass. worked like magic. but i've got an issue here which is to revert back to the default setting cause am been denied of installing an OTA Update. help please?

Ive been fighting w titanium ever since upgrading my phone u would think theyd incorporate this fix. Thank u so much!!

Worked just fine on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Light (SGH-T399N/MetroPCS) running KitKat 4.4.2. There are so many claims out there that just being rooted takes care of this issue with KitKat and Lollipop, but that's not true. Granting root privileges to user apps does NOT allow them to write/change the contents of the external SD card, a good example being Titanium Backup. Yes, if you have enough Android knowledge, you can make this change manually, but I have quite a bit and did not know how to accomplish this. SDFix does the job in less than 5 minutes! Thanx NextApp!

Finally found this after searching for a way to delete videos from my microSD in VLC once I had watched them without needing a root filesystem browser to delete the files.
