Enable Third Party External SDcard Read and Write Access in Kitkat (v4.4+) and Lollipop (v5.0+)

In recent upgrades of Android versions like Kitkat and Lollipop, Google has strictly blocked all the third party access in external sdcard. Although they did this for a very good reason but it later it became a problem for many users because it causes great inconvenience.

So, in this small tutorial I want to share a very basic method of solving this problem.

If you have xposed framework installed, then use this method but if you don't have xposed framwork installed then this tutorial might help.

Requirements!

Instructions!
  • First of root your phone.
  • Install a custom recovery.
  • Then flash a particular xposed framework via recovery depending on your phone's requirements.
  • Boot your phone (May take time).
  • Now, install xposed installer app.
  • Install the module and activate it.
  • Reboot.

Note!
  • Choose correct zip of xposed framework.
  • After framework installation, your phone may take 30 minutes to boot completely. Don't panic it will boot for sure but if do something during booting process, it may soft brick your phone.
  • Don't forget to make a nandroid backup before installation.
  • Works only in Kitkat and Lollipop versions of Android, Jellybean and lower versions have sdcard access by default and Marshmallow, Nougat uses a very different API which makes this method unusable in these versions

If you have any queries, do a comment and I will try to help. :)
