Thread: Problem with speedcams and userdata

Hi everybody,

On phones - tablets with Android 4.4+ we have the common issue that apps are not allowed to write on SD card, so if we want to load many maps on iGO we have to load the maps on the SD if there is not enough space in the Internal Storage.
This works if we enter the following lines on the sys.txt:

Code:

Speedcams and userdata do not work though since iGO has to convert the specific files and write on the SD, but this is not allowed by Android.
Any tricks to overcome this?

Thanks.

No tricks.
Only custom ROM's, rooting and redirecting, etc...

Thanks for the reply Boki.
I know that, the problem is that new devices cannot be rooted for obvious reasons.
Thanks again.

You can put the speedcam and userdata folders in internal memory

Done that already but it doesn't work though i entered on the sys.txt the correct paths.
Perhaps i miss something.
Please upload your sys.txt to compare.

You don't say exactly what it is that doesn't work... Do you mean the entire programme or just the speed cameras etc?

In any case I think perhaps your sys.txt line should read android_secondary_root_path="/storage/external_SD/Addons/iGO/"

I have "content" folder in SDCard root containing folders: building, car, dem, histspeed, map, poi, and scheme
I have "iGO/content" in device root containing folders: global config, lang, skin, speedcam, userdata and voice

In sys.txt
[folders]
has_secondary_root=1
android_secondary_root_path="/storage/6FB4-9A2C" (this must point to the location of your "content" folder)

This works fine for me and lets me share the SDCard content between different iGO versions on the phone.

Good luck with your efforts I hope you will be successful
