Problem: Unable to get apps to use data from external SD card. They seem only to be able to see the external SD card folder resident on the internal SD card (the 0 card). Dont get me wrong both 'my files' and 'astaro' see both cards but the apps do not seem to be able to see outside the resident card and have another further issue of attempting to import everything where I just want them to know where to get files.
Soln: I am thinking that by plain vanilla rooting, I will have access to either apps or simply by admin rights to do either of two things as follows:
(1) Be able to point apps on the internal card to data on the external SD card (be it books, music, or videos etc), OR
(2) Be able to move apps to the external SD card.
Looking for any wisdom on the above, not guesses mind you but practical advice from experience and/or working knowledge.
As well I am on Rogers and believe the following link is the the best one for what I am attempting to do. My assumption is that simply providing myself Admin (or superuser) rights to access the files within the firmware, and not changing any ROM bits (no additional steps), no tripping of counters, that this does not void warranty.
