About SDRemount

SDRemount attempts to restore write access to an SD card for apps that do not use Android’s newer storage framework. It works by remounting the card and is intended for older apps that otherwise cannot write to external storage. The app runs on devices with an SD card slot and requires root access to perform the remount operation. The method depends on how a device’s manufacturer handles SD-card mounting, so results can vary between devices. The supplied description reports successful testing on some Android versions and unsuccessful testing on others, and notes uncertainty about behavior under newer storage restrictions. It is a small experimental project rather than a broadly validated storage tool. SDRemount is intended for advanced users with rooted devices who need legacy apps to write to an SD card. Its author warns that safety cannot be guaranteed and recommends trying it first with an unimportant card if compatibility is uncertain. Although the intended change is reversible, the app may simply fail to enable write access on an incompatible device.
