It seems like a huge security hole to me. Why Does Reading the SD Card Not Require Permission Like the title says why are apps allowed to read the contents of files on the SD card without asking permission? Apps have to ask to read SMS, Calendar, and everything else. once I assigned a label, it was remedied.Īnd the dropsync developer is updating the app to support these permissions very soon. I had formatted as NTFS but not assigned a volume label and had this issue.
PSA: If you encounter a problem where an app asks for write permissions for the sd card, but selecting it in the documents menu that pops up causes it to crash, format the drive as NTFS and assign a volume label. OFF TOPIC but, what is the starkissed kernel? I searched the shield tablet forum for that keyword and this was the only mention it found. Would root allow me to completely resolve the issue, though? As I mentioned, the developer's write-up specifically covers fixing the issue on KitKat, not Lollipop. I do have microscopic hairline fractures on the corners, but I'm not petty enough to submit for a warranty exchange for cosmetic blemishes that don't affect performance, and I don't foresee other warranty-worthy issues. I'm not necessarily worried about the warranty aspect. But with the Shield, it's not like I'm removing carrier bloat, tethering behind the carrier's back, etc. With my phones and older tablets, there is functionality that I could only gain through root. Regarding root, I simply haven't had a need to with the Shield. Because good old days of not needing root. I probably formatted my SD card a couple times too.īecause warranty. Perhaps I'll try it again this evening.Īny reason why not to root? DS works fine for me on 2.1 and starkissed kernel However, I did quick format and I see now that your post says to format it twice. I actually did try formatting as NTFS (after seeing your post) and it was unsuccessful. I recently posted an article somewhere in this forum about how I reformatted my SD card and got apps to write to it and everything was peachy keen.ĭisclaimer: I really hope this works for you but given my Thanks it's only been called functional by one other person besides me. That much being said, it is ENTIRELY possible that if you are not able to write to your SD card, it is because the SD card is not properly formatted.
Unfortunately the only apps I've seen accessing the file system properly are the ones that have the special lollipop hack that it looks like was begrudgingly added at the last second. Lollipop penetration is so low that I can't find information on it anywhere else, hence why I'm hoping someone with a Shield has figured it out. Does anybody use it and have advice? I might be willing to root it if it solves the problem entirely. Consequently, Dropsync has become completely useless for me. I tried to create the necessary directory via ES File Explorer, but it couldn't create it.
