I tried a few combinations, some may be irellevant, but i was not sure about the sd module interaction with my other magisk modules (Riru, edxposed, magisk hide, systemless hosts).

In conclusion sd module did never allow me to make or receive calls, no matter which version and which options I selected.

There were two cases where uninstalling sd module did not directly resolve the problem. Both (marked in red) where connected to uninstalling or installing another module in the same run. Not sure if this is possible or a reboot after each uninstall is recommended. After reinstalling e.g. Magisk hide it did work again.

Is this a problem with my magisk? Which version is recommended? I am using newest: Magisk 23.0 and App 23.0.

Yes you have to reboot then test again after each module install/uninstall.

You can try an older magisk version, It may also be a module you use thats not compatible with my module.

If you can uninstall or disable all modules then test only mines to check.

I get it to work with v5.0 on Android 11 (LineageOs 18.1) with Magisk 22.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S5.
@Ziona thank you for your awesome work!!

do you mind sharing your install process? i have tried to get this to work with LOS 18.1 on my pixel 3 and have had no luck. i might just disable all my other modules and give it one more try before i just give up.

Hello, I have an issue with this module on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro. Installation through Magisk appears to work but every time I reboot after installation the phone just shuts down after about a minute or enters bootloop. It doesn't seem to matter what installation options I use, even when I choose no to everything the problem continues. My phone has Android 10 (MIUI V12.0.5.0). Magisk version is 23.0 and there are no other modules installed. I have tried both v4.4 and v5.0. I would appreciate any help with this.

When you install via magisk manager, upload the <modules name> magisk debug log - located within your internal storage root or download folder, depending on installer. Something non compatible with your device is happening on install.

Hey, just writing to say that I used this on my old Infinix HOT 4. For some reason they did not bother to allow exFAT support even though it was running android 7. This module worked and created a new directory, "external_sd". Everything works fine although the only gripe I have with this is that it doesn't come up as an external sd card in the default android file explorer.

doesn't come up as an external sd card in the default android file explorer.
You might need to enable Global Namespace for Root Processes in Magisk options and/or force switch SELinux to Permissive using this module. The built-in script for enabling Permissive doesn't work with every ROM out there, I had to do the two above steps to get V5.0 working on two phones running A9 and A10, respectively.

Pixel 4 XL running Android 11 here. Magisk 23. I tried to install 4.4 and 5.0. In both instances only SM Links install works. The boot image install fails, I think stating unpack error. I can provide the logs.

When I mount a USB flashdrive (NTFS) with an OTG adapter. I don't see any smlinks. I disabled Riru and other modules but nothing changed. Android pops up a USB fix notification and asks me to format the drive. I cancel that. I'm a bit new to this but I'm trying to figure out a way to add exFAT or NTFS support so I can use my external flash drive beyond the boundaries of 4GB FAT limit.

Module needs to update more for 11+. maybe a next version release soon. But try this mean time using a terminal app or file manager like mixplorer.apk with it's execute tab an run the code below post the output.

Code:
busybox blkid >/data/media/0/device.log;
getprop >>/data/media/0/device.log;

look for device.log file in the root of your internal storage to upload here.

Here is the file. Also I decided to install Kirisakura kernel using EXKM as I thought I need a custom kernel to make it work. Still I can't mount my ex fat usbotg 😔

I typed busybox and it says busybox is not installed. Not sure why.
I tried "pkg install busybox" but it cannot find it in repo. Any recommendation on how to install it? I thought the module will do that.

You can try these files to manually mount USB or SDCARD to retrieve anything on them but to have android automatically mount a USB/SDCARD your vold & sdcard binary files would most likely need to support ntfs or exfat (like lineage os uses) even with custom kernel. Are you on stock/modified or full custom ROM.

Flash in TWRP.
Connect a USB.
Boot the DEVICE.

Once booted check root for /external_usb folder and content.
if missing/empty type in terminal or execute command.

Code:
usbmount

I did flash them using TWRP but when I execute the command I'm getting an error message that it can't be found.
My Pixel 4 XL phone is running a stock rom that came from Google. Google does not include exFAT driver support in their AOSP. So I'm locked out unless I compile exFAT support driver into the kernel. I don't know how to do that.
I tried flashing VOLD-POSIX and it didn't work. I changed the file to API 30 so it skips the check. It installed successfully but I still can't get the usbotg to mount. I know how to type commands but I can't seem to figure out what command to type to mount the volume.
I tried:
mount.exfat /dev/block/sdg1 /sdcard/external

But I get an empty directory. I'm fine even mounting exFAT or NTFS. I just need to skip that 4 GB limit.

look in /system/xbin/ for usbmount , ntfs-3g, mount exfat binaries . also was /external_usb in root / folder ?
you can't mount in /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0/ but only /data/media/0/ may work for mounting in internal storage .

Termux can induce problems within it's shell environment. try using mixplorer.apk a great xda approved an found app or similar.

    External sdcard rw permission enabler plus extras
    robot-4809182_1280.jpg


    The latest magisk modules v4.4 & ( v5.0 located page #7 ) is for Android 6 to 11 . Providing External Sdcard write access permissions, It can add quick access links in root directory to your external sdcard. Works on single or multiple partition sdcard filesystem's.

    Adds ntfs support to most devices from Android 6 to 10 , an including exfat support from Android 6 to 8. Supports usbotg for Android 6 up on compatible devices.

    All sdcard & otg mounting an symlinks methods are technically unique an first of their kind here. No one else cared enough to put in the time needed to add this back to android after removed from Marshmallow an above . So it takes great effort to find universal techniques for most/all devices.
    So devices configurations will vary.

    READ BELOW LOOK FOR LATEST UPDATES.
    Some Info


    Dual linkage from the system storage and media_rw directories.
    Links are made to root dir & mnt dir.

    Link 1 in root - external_sd
    Link 2 in mnt - sdcard1


    Both links utilize external read & write permission for access by apps requested.

    Example
    Titanium backup can use both these points for storage access for backups to sdcards.

    NOT FOR USE WITH ADOPTABLE STORAGE SDCARD SETUP

    INSTALL

    Flash zip in recovery an reboot.
    Magisk module users v4.1 an above flash in magisk.

    If using v4.2 up uninstall module before updating versions or if re-flashing module again when option for ntfs & exfat support are chosen.

    If using v4.4 , uninstall an install is supported in both magisk manager and recovery.


    Note

    init.d support or magisk is needed
    First zip uses init.d support.
    Second zip v4 an higher uses magisk support.

    Some apps may need you to grant them access to external storage, others may ask to direct them to the path which can easily be found rite in root folder and also mnt folder - ( this is found in root folder. )

    Locations example
    Path in root directory are :
    /external_sd
    /mnt/sdcard1
    /usbotg
    /mnt/usbotg


    Some devices may only support one location for their external sdcard in /storage because their is no /mnt/media_rw folder. Module will detect the correct available location to create dual symlinks.

    Volume Deamon info:
    What is vold (Volume Daemon) that most Android OS support , why this module uses a custom type when selected (vold posix) option on install ;
    http://strayinsights.blogspot.com/2018/05/android-external-storage-support-volume.html?m=1


    ####### UPDATED #######

    LATEST UPDATE , V4.4 - FOR MAGISK USER

    # AUTO INSTALL #

    -External Sdcard access
    -Permissive on install
    -Sepolicy patches on install

    Some changes below;

    :Note for custom vold only (vold posix option when using boot patch):

    Best success for using custom vold will be achieved in recovery mode install .
    For devices that supports vold an sdcard binaries only, this is auto checked when vold posix is selected .

    # Change log: v4.4

    .added support for recovery install an uninstall of module.

    .added custom vold safety protection auto uninstall on failure to fully boot.

    added full driver support from Android 6 to 10 , for both the 32 & 64 bit variety.

    .added additional upgrades to sdcard an usbotg mount & symlinks methods .

    .added additional configurations for write access to devices on Android 11 OS.

    .added options to choose internel or external app install location for supporting devices.

    .added usbotg symlinks an direct folder support in root dir.

    .added some other big systematic changes to setup.

    .added full uninstall module an boot image patch by re flashing module if installed.


    LATEST UPDATE , V4.3 - FOR MAGISK USER

    # AUTO INSTALL #

    -Permissive on install
    -Sepolicy patches on install

    NOTE:
    Use Boot Patch if module didn't work for you with SD link option.
    Warning make or have a backup of your ROM to flash if you use custom vold option.


    What does vold do? It's the core mount management for most Android devices that mounts internal , external & usb/otg storage devices. Custom vold adds the custom binaries that most non custom rom lacks for mounting ntfs sdcards an otg storage devices. Do to the nature of how it works for full reasons unknown when changing vold binary its a 10℅ chance the device may decide not to full boot an need to be dirty flash to restore start up. So still try with caution .

    # Many upgrades some added changes are below #

    # Change log: v4.3
    .added newer sdcard an usbotg mount & symlinks methods .

    .added additional configurations for write access to devices that dont have even basic setups.

    .added back options to choose busybox on install only if wanted.

    .added some other systematic changes.

    Ok get back to you later today,i may make that for u or just roll it out next release, the way it is now great but i made to additional methods to detect external sd sources , seem like no one else wanted the challenge after Marshmallow changed the whole game on how to find an use sdcard resources. The new install added a nice touch too lol , (YouTube) hit that like button to subscribe haha

    I agree no one after marshmallow really worked on anything to get Extsd card support working for apps. There is one but you need to use edxposed xinternalsd also. I think this is great Im using on my S6 tablet on android pie. I wish you would add android Q support but its great to see you doing this project. Thanks

    Thx, am bout to release v4.2 newest for magisk. I left out Q because am not sure how it works yet i dnt have a Android 10 device to test on yet.
    If someone willing to test i may remove the install limit to allow its installing for Q.
    This new release added more methods of sdcard detection, sdcard an app permissions , force install apps to internal or external Sdcard only, added ntfs, ext4, exfat, vfat sdcard & usbotg support.
    Boot.img patch for external Sdcard. Magisk patch for Pie .
    Sepolicy rules for vold & posix, also custom binaries an more. Theirs optional choices on installation

    I have a 64bit S7 edge and 64bit S6 tablet with Snapdragon 855 so qcom. I also have a old blu mtk device on android 6 but the phone is just a dust collector. I also have a nexus 6 , Moto g4, and galaxy s2 tablet.

    Ok i hav qcom 64bit Oreo & pie drivers for ntfs an exfat support already. Checking cause my new module will pack some goodies for external Sdcard support. It mainly supports Mtk marshmallow an nougat 32 / 64bit . Am allowing Android 10 install also.
    Does any of your devices support exfat an ntfs?
