I was trying to access my /obb and /data folders in my Samsung Galaxy M33 5G, but because of restrictions in Android 14, I was not allowed to do so, somehow I found out this. I checked that whenever you update your Google Play system update, your Files app gets updated, I uninstalled the update and I got it in the apps screen, and I could finally access these restricted folders without any 3rd-party applications or something. [Video demonstration on Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AG-Dn9olqawLht2HVjuTlp39EA4pvSUV/view?usp=sharing) . I found many solutions on YouTube, but each of them involved 3rd party apps. Is it a bug that I can access them?

I want to move a game's obb (1GB) to an SD card. Copied the obb file to SD card, and symbolic link by: su ln -sf /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb/com.game /sdcard/Android/obb/com.game but failed with "function not implemented". I googled it, and got "some filesystem doesn't support symbolic link". So I tried to use mount by command: su mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb/com.game /sdcard/Android/obb/com.game but I found only root can see the files in the folder. Then I do: cd /system/bin/ chmod 4777 ./toolbox #make anyone can use mount(in toolbox) su u0_aXXX #the game's uid mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb/com.game /sdcard/Android/obb/com.game ls -l /sdcard/Android/obb/com.game $ -rwxrwx--- u0_aXXX sdcard_r com.game.obb But when I cat /sdcard/Android/obb/com.game/com.game.obb $ cat: /sdcard/…ame.obb permission denied I'm using Android 5, any solution? --- (I posted this question on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42738392/android-mount-obb-to-external-sd-card-failed) before, then I found here may be a better place to post this question.)

I'm trying to move the OBB files of some of my games to my SD card to free some internal storage space. I looked for solutions and found the Obb on SD Xposed module, which says that "just enable module, reboot and move obb's to SD card (to same folder: Android/obb) - that's that." My device is already rooted and has the Xposed Framework installed. So I just downloaded and enabled the module and rebooted. I'm looking to move Plants vs Zombies 2's OBB file which is around 600 MB, to the SD card. I've updated the game in Google Play Store and then started it to verify that it is fully updated and doesn't need to download anything. I then moved the com.ea.game.pvz2_row directory (which contains the OBB file) in /storage/sdcard0/Android/obb/ to /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb/ using Amaze File Manager in root explorer mode. I rebooted the device and then I ran Plants vs Zombies 2 but upon starting, it started downloading resources of around ~600 MB (which is probably the directory I moved). **How do I make Plants vs Zombies 2 recognize the moved OBB file in the SD card?** Details: - Device: Lenovo A3300-HV - Android version: KitKat 4.4.2 - The device is rooted. SU management app is SuperSU. - I already did the 'KitKat SD Card' fix and I have other apps that write to the SD card without any issues. - The /storage/sdcard0/ directory despite its name, is actually internal storage. This device has only one physical SD card and it is at /storage/sdcard1/. - Obb on SD details: - 'Data On SD' is unchecked - Play Store Hooks is unchecked (I also tried checking but it doesn't seem to affect the issue) - Detect SD on Android 5/6 is grayed-out and can't be toggled (says 'No path found') - Internal Path says "Detected: /storage/emulated/0".

I'm deploying a mobile game through the Unreal Engine platform (Quick Launch) to my Xiaomi through a USB cable. When it's installed, the game runs automatically but it's immediately closed. After a bit of research, I found out that there are no .obb files inside the Android/obb folder for this game. If I place the .obb manually into this folder, the game begins to work as expected. What could be the reason that the .obb is not copied during deployment? Actually, it was working well until recently. I cannot imagine what happened...
