[HOWTO]Fixing SD Card Permissions on 4.4.x

[kobridge]

I just rooted Note 3 NC4 rom and I'm able to use Titanium Backup again.
But when I tried to backup the system, I got the error message "batch backup interrupted: insufficient storage space" even though there are enough external storage space left. It seems like it's a bug of TB because External SD is blocked to media_rw group. By simply changing the planform.xml file and reboot, TB started working again.

(I create this thread because the original thread is located in S4 section)

1. Using a root-enabled file manager like root explorer, navigate to /system/etc/permissions
2. Edit platform.xml file and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add this group definition: <group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save changes.
5. Reboot
