>>
Didn't lolipop defuck the cards from kitkat?
>>
>>52244897
Enterprise Earth is better but I wish Aaron would play in one last song with Dan, I miss the combination of Dan's voice and how Aaron could play the drums also since 4.4.2 and above A SDCards formatted in FAT32 have issues, EXT4 is completely compatible though

Not completely

Blame NSA(they did selinux).

Fuck up them how?

Please explain for someone that has never heard about this. I've got an SD card in my Z5 and it works fine.
>>
>>52245225
Each manufacture can change the permissions for a system. Developers of Android in the XDA community can do it also, it doesn't affect most devices but it usually affects early Lollipop devices and low end phones due to the lack of knowledge or manufactor not caring.
>>
>>52245259
I still don't understand. Do they lock down the SD cards and make the phone run a check each time it's accessed?
>>
>>52245298
No, if the phone does not take ownership of the file then it will refuse to do anything but read it from what I understand, it's suppose to be a security measure set in place, it can keep third party applications from misusing permissions to steal data but at the cost of limiting the user

But it is claimed the in 6.0 the sdcard is considered part of the device giving full write permission

My SD card works just fine...LG V10
>>
>>52244897
Awwh shit, I had just gotten done backing up all my shit to the cloud so I could upgrade from kit kat.
What else is wrong with lollipop? I thought they had fixed it since they're already working on 6.0

t-that's what they said about lolipop...
>>
>>52245948
I'm aware But it doesn't affect me if it is fixed since my microSD is ext4

i jumped from 2.3.6 to 5.1.1 and didn't even notice any difference with regards to how the sd card is handled

did 4.x do something different? i never used it

>How are you liking it so far?
it's nice, specifically i'm using CM12.1 nightlies on a GS4 Intl (i9505)
>Any problems?
none at all

i didn't use the stock rom at all, i got the phone second hand maybe half a year ago, and installed CM immediately, so i couldn't tell you if the stock rom had any oddities/problems

>>52246222
The developer may have incorporated the fix since it is custom
>>
>>52246439
what was the problem?

i've heard people have had trouble with sd's but nobody says what
>>
>>52246457
>>52245398
That post links to the issue and reasons for it, it's due to the sd card format that is used commonly is FAT32 which doesn't support permissions, 4.4 and above won't write to sd card unless it owns one the folder or file on the sdcard
