You are giving us a lot to test!

Thanks for another brilliant ROM!

Is it CM based restricitions, or some setting, that is impossibe to add new folder into /sdcard0/Android/data for example with ES Explorer?
Even using root, it's impossible to add anything there.
Also apps can't add anything there and giving errors?

Enter this command in terminal

SU
busybox chown -R 2800:2800 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

Ok, I can try, but whats the reason making custom build, which have built in root support, but is more tight than default build and after all this custom build development users must still use cli commands?

I didn't get what you mean, but your problem usually happens when you format your internal sd before flashing AOSP ROM

I did :
-Reboot to Cyanogen Recovery
-Full wipe and factory reset
-Flash Rom
-Flash Gapps
-Reboot

What I did wrong?

 

[ksuuk]

More, using Apex Launcher, dektop folders are fully white, so no icons are visible.

Edit: ignore, I had sdcard0 problems.

 

[stirlitz99]

The "Performance" is empty in the settings? Is this supposed to be like this?

 

[Styxie]

the kernel auditor missing idk why but u can download from play store if u want

 

[draganz]

This ROM cannot write sdcard0 folders. Tried Aria.A79 method. But not solved.

Hi
did u try with another file explorer ? for exp root browser?

Hi
did u try with another file explorer ? for exp root browser?

yes, but not working.

I tried another CM12.1 ROMs. They have same problem.

I also tried these codes:

su
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown 2800:2800 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown -R 2800:2800 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

but not helped.

So I copied my all files to computer and format Internal Storage. It solved my write(RW) issue problem. Also Gallery memory error was gone. But I didn't try on this ROM. I hope it will work this ROM too.

The problem is that system cannot write on existing folders (Earlier Stock 4.3 firmware created folders). Ex: Camera photo not saving, So I renamed "DCIM" to "DCIM2" then it working(it means system will automatically create new "DCIM" folder./ Also I faced Screenshot error like "can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organisation". So I renamed "Pictures" "Pictures2" and it will create new folder and working. So formatting internal storage is working all the apps without sdcard0 write error

Hope you all are understand me. Sorry for bad English.

You need to type 1023 instead of 2800 in these Terminal codes.

When you plan some new build this ROM? Carbon ROM was the best ROM for me with Android 4 so I hope that with Andoid 5 it will be the same.
