Heads up, the 4 3 update for the GS4 removes the ability to write to the sdcard

It was a change Google brought in with Honeycomb, only system apps can write to the SD card. This is just the first stock phone to come out that has an sdcard slot. Which is a pitty as I just bought a 64GB card.

 

Sdcards are classed as media and apps need the WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE permission, but this permission is only applicatable to system apps?

 

It worked in 4.2.2 because it still had a Samsung hack in place. So now its MORE stock.

Lucas Nichols that was a separate issue. The TW GS4 got an update to install apps to the sdcard (which won't come to the GPed because Sammy is basically porting a Gingerbread app for that to work).

 

This is literally unable to save emulator ROM states because your ROMs are on the sdcard. Unable to copy your DCIM folder for archiving because you filled up the internal storage. You can't even create a new folder in a filemanager. And I've had some quirks deleting files with mtp.
