Title: How do I back up settings to my sd card?
Post by: amoskowitz on July 31, 2014, 03:24:01 am

so i just had to do a hard reset on my Galaxy S3 because of the fun that kitkat is putting us through and I tried to save my AquaMail settings b4 I did this and well i kept getting the error from my external sdcard

"This folder does not allow the creation of new files. Please pick another one"

I know for a fact that this is not the case and i had to reenter all the settings manually just wondering igf there is a work around.

Yes, this is KitKat's problem. Save settings to /storage/emulated/0/youraquamailsettings (internal sd card)

You can save settings by using your DROPBOX account.
Nice feature. Thank you Kostya ...8)

Dropbox is not for me, Google Drive FTW.

I rooted my Note 3 for this stupid reason.

Is rooting enough by itself?

Don't you also have to mess with some "policy" XML file somewhere, to tweak how permissions are granted?

I prefer Xposed modules. Xml editing is not needed.
