I re-install but this time used /storage/external_SD/Android/data/... and making sure that the files are copy over correctly since MTP is notorious for being the crappiest transfer protocol under KitKat. It now works as expected. In the future it will be much faster and safer to use USB reader than MTP. So add another device that 2.37 works for:
LG Exceed 2
800x480
KitKat
External SD
