Hey guy,

My girlfriends samsung galaxy s4 value edition (I9515) has a very small internal storage but she cant do any app on the 64 GB external sd card. So i want to simulate the external sd card as internal storage. Is this possible on lollipop`?

Greetings,

[How to] Enable write permissions to external sd!

We had this same problem on the G3,

solution is simple use root explorer and edit system/etc/permissions/platform.xml with the built-in editor.

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" > <---Look for this
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" /> <---Add this
</permission>

save and restart, apps will no longer require permission to write to the external sd card, or delete files from the external sd card(music players, ect.)

Internal DAC Quality, and the use of an External USB DAC

Maybe this is a dumb question...but I've been looking at getting an external DAC for some time now. But I've got some questions, specific to the moto x pure.

1.) Does anyone have anything to say about the quality of the Moto X P's internal DAC? I'm getting a 128GB microSD so I can listen to my FLAC collection in my car, (New car, got the 9 speaker high quality system :3 )

2.) Does an external DAC charge the phone since it is USB? Reason I am asking is I DO NOT WANT one that charges the phone all the time. I like to keep my batteries strong by not charging them but when I need to.

3.) I know Android 5.0 added USB Audio...but does anyone know if the Moto X P supports USB Audio? If so... is there anything I need to do setting wise for it to work? Or will the phone "detect" the DAC?

4.) On a side note...are their any music players that any of you would say is better/the best for using FLAC?

Thanks guys.

After I grab a DAC and get it all hooked up I will post a mini review of the experience as well for anyone else who wants to max out their moto. :D

[How To] Enable Write to External SD Card

This app was written by Jrummy and states that it's for Kit Kat (he should probably update it as it still works). I've used it on every device I've owned since Kit Kat without a single issue. Just run the app and uninstall it when you're done (or don't but it's pointless after you've ran it). It's making a very simple (and reversible) change.

Root is required!

Video out/ External Video for s6

Trying to find different ways to broadcast my phones screen or emulate a desktop environment with my galaxy s6 where the output is to an external monitor.

I know MHL is a bust for the s6, it doesn't support it. Beyond that, all I can find are wireless solutions. Chromecast, Miracast and Samsung's proprietary garbage. But are there any others?

My question is, are there any obscure apps, or hardware gadgets that might work with Android that I could do this with. I've got an OTG and a USB hub, I've seen USB to HDMI outs, why don't these work with Android? No Software? Pure hardware incompatibility?

I hunted around these forums a little before posting this, but didn't find anything related, so I apologize in advance if there's some central thread discussing this for the S6.

Thanks for reading

Storing photos on external sdcard by default

Is there a method to store photos/videos on the external sdcard by default? I've got a rooted i9295 running a recent Cyanogenmod nightly.
Possibly there is there a camera application that allows setting the default storage location for photos. Something I'm missing here? TIA.

Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 10400mAh Portable External Battery Fast Charger

I have had and used this on my Droid Turbo, worked great thought I would have no problem using it with my Pure Edition.

Now that I have the Moto X Pure I plug it in and it shuts off about 10 seconds after. anyone else have this problem?

External Microphone Volume

I own the Klipsch R6M headphones and the built in microphone is very low. Nobody can hear me unless I yell or press the microphone hole up to my lips. This does not occur in any other Android device I plug it into. I figured I'd grab AlsaMixer and boost the external microphone input but I am unable to figure out which option is the right one. Does anyone know? Either that or does anyone know how I would go about boosting the external microphone input volume another way? I'm desperate here. Thank you in advance for the help.

What Is a Good, Protective S6 External Battery Case?

Hey guys,

I was looking at the Mophie Juice Pack for Samsung Galaxy S6 but it retails for at least .99 plus shipping and handling on Amazon. I've seen other cases that claim to supply the same amount (or more) battery life than the Mophie one, but they're... suspiciously cheap, some are .99 and some are even .99. So there are two things that I'm looking for in my external battery case:

1. At least 3,000 mAh
2. Protection from dropping the phone and it landing screen-side. I don't case about how easy the case scratches or whatever.

I find the best way to figure these out are just to ask people which battery case they use or have seen used. So I'll do it, which battery cases have you guys used, and what was their quality like? Did they protect your phone?

seeking suggestions on adding external hardware buttons to execute macro/scripts

I'm a noobie looking for suggestions on how to add external hardware buttons that can control any functions on a Kocaso Mid9200 tablet running Android 4.2.2. The basic goal is to push an external hardware button and play a favorite radio station in one app, or another hardware button to stop playing that app, and switch to another app and play specific favorites within that app. I'm open to writing macros/scripts that might invoke the desired function then linking a specific external hardware button to each different script. The tablet is rooted. The tablet is cheap and does not have either Bluetooth or NFC (so external NFC buttons like the Pressy or Dimple are not an option), it only has a USB port.

I've placed an order for a PCSensor Key Fere external programmable USB keyboard and plan to build macros keystrokes into that device to start the process. I've also started to look at using the External Keyboard Helper app to tie a keystroke to invoke an app. But I could use help in figuring out how to write a script/macro that could navigate within an app and select, for example, one of several favorite radio stations in the radio player app, and start/stop that station in the player. Ultimately I'd like to push one button on the external keypad, and have it invoke the desired player app, navigate within the app to select a specific station, and start that station playing.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Dash Micro External Storage

Hey guys, I just got this delivered today and so far it looks like a great option to no internal SD card.
I just pulled my 64 GB card out of my Note 4 and inserted into this. Plugged it in and the Note 5 see's it as Local Storage. It isn't too big and plugs in with no problems with my also new Neo Hybrid Carbon case.

External SD Card not showing

Hi,

I'm trying to rename some files on my SD Card using ES File Explorer on my M9+. When the new window pop-up to give write permission access to SD Card, it was not shown even I selected the option to Show SD card. Instead, It only detects my Internal Storage.

This is the same process I'm doing in my M8 previously and working fine as expected.

Please help. My device is not rooted.

Tutorial for getting Nokia Here/Drive maps onto the external SD card on a Lumia 532

Hi guys,

I bought a Lumia 532 for navigation purposes for my parents,
as they have absolutely no clue about smartphones and this
should be the easiest handset to work with. Also, I am totally
new to this operating system, because I am using Android and
iOS.

Now I am searching for a complete tutorial on how to get
the Nokia Here maps saved on the external SD card. It seems,
the old method with Lumia Storage Check Beta is not working
or existing anymore. :(

I found bits of information here and some there, but there is
just no single complete tutorial going from step 1 to x. :\

Thanks a lot in advance.
