Thread: Streetpilot v2.35 app release (960x540 to 1920x1080) for Android 4.2.2+

The path the poster asked for should work on any device with an internal storage area, whether rooted or not, so it shouldn't be necessary to mention KitKat.

Android 4.0 through 4.4.2 by default prohibit apps from writing directly to the MicroSD card. Users running Android 5.0 should not have this limitation. A rooted user can easily fix this by downloading the app "SDCardFix" from the Play Store and running it. The app in question edits the vold.fstab system file to enable write access. Someone with a text editor can do the same without the app. I suspect the poster asking for the internal storage space is either not rooted or did not know about enabling write access to the MicroSD card.

I think that's the purpose for those Android path apks.

Using my Galaxy S4 as an example, the 10GB of internal storage included in the phone can be accessed via /storage/sdcard0/, /storage/emulated/0/, or /storage/emulated/legacy/. Don't ask me why there are three different ways to get to the same place but none of them require root to access, which was my point. The poster likely asked for that particular path because writing to the internal storage is supported by Android, whereas writing to the MicroSD card requires root and a text editor to enable it.
