Documents app crashes when selecting sd card root for 3rd party write permissions. topic

HTC ONE (M8) Troubleshooting
I recently updated my HTC one M8 (India) to 5.0.1 Lollipop (Stock HTC).
3rd party file managers require me to select SD card root directory for write access. Accordingly it takes me to the documents app. Then when I slide from the left it shows Internal storage and a blank title showing the SD card. When I select the SD card, the app (documents) crashes. And I am unable to select the root directory, and therefore I cannot use 3rd party file managers. Please Help!

[Q] Annoying SMS alert when using 3rd party SMS app. Lenovo A806 miui V2 topic

let me start by saying the lenvo A806 is a great phone and is a serious bit of kit for the price tag (£150 posted from UK, £120 from china). However i didnt like the default sms app so i changed it to chomp sms im sure some of you use it. All is well except when i sent a text i get the following annoying alert and i cant figure out how to block/disable it. This happens on any 3rd party sms app.

I am reasonably clued in with this sort of stuff and have rooted and installed custom roms on other phones :cowboy: (nexus4, galaxy s 1+2). Any ideas guys?

Thanks! :confused:

[Q] installing 3rd party application not working on Cyanogenmod 12 topic

Hey guys i just flashed in Cyanogenmod 12 lollipop 5.0.2 this morning and i tried installing a 3rd party application adilko permium, which i successfully installed before when i was running 4.4.2 kitkat and when my phone was not rooted. when i click on the APK it opens up the installer and lets me click on the install button, then the bar will move for a bit and an x mark will appear and it will say "X App not installed". It also happened to another 3rd party app i was trying to install and yes i do have unknown sources checked. Please, some help will be very appreciated.

[Q] what 3rd party lockscreen still alows the express me panel to show? topic

i don't like the stock lockscreen because it is very limited as far as customization is concerned. I like a picture and a clock and notifications off to the side or where ever i want to place them. The problem is that I cant move the time/clock around so that I see the full wall paper i am using for the lockscreen or a if I do like a 3rd party lockscreen, when i activate it the lockscreen does not allow the express me panel to show on the edge when the screen is locked.

So my question is does anyone use a 3rd party locscreen that is very customizable, replaces the stock lockscreen, has pin or gesture unlocking and does not, as a redundant measure, have the stock lockscreen runing underneath it. Right now i am using Next lockscreen and it lays ontop of the stock. It has no pin or gesture to unlock it to go straight to my home screen. Therefore, i have to swipe out of it, then the stock is underneath with the pin authorization. A double move. But this is the only way my expreess me panel stays active. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
