Fixing sdcard and other permissions.
After downloading the ND7_deknox_deodex.zip, arn following the install instructions, I finally had success after switching to Philz recovery.
Two problems I still had were external sdcard permissions and some internal database access permissions in apps like Quickpic and Evernote.
I resolved the external sdcard permissions issue with the external mount fix from the N7105XXUFND3 Port thread. To fix Quickpic and Evernote database access issues, I used an app called FolderMount from the app store that replaces the sdcard module in /system/bin.
Now everything seems to be working so far.
I am not sure why no one else is seeing the database permissions issue I was with third party apps but at least I found a workaround.
Thanks to everyone involved in making this available!
