Renaming files and folders on Android 14 [Phone 2]

Judge

Hello,

Happy New Year Everyone !

I have just upgraded from an Oppo Find X2 Pro; Android 13 to a Nothing Phone 2 512G Android 14. I did the updates as soon as I received the phone.

However, under Android 14 it’s impossible for me to modify/delete/rename a folder or file in internal/Android/data, it’s the first time I’ve encountered this, and for my use case it’s quite disturbing, I need to recover quite a lot of data from my old phone to the new one.

A lot of online tutorials show the possibility of doing this via computer, but I can’t rename/delete a folder via USB either.

Is there an update planned or a workaround?

Android 14 has some restrictions when accessing data on Android folder, especially “data” & “OBB” folders. Have you tried using third-party file manager? Try “Solid Explorer.”

Alternatively, if you would like the experience of editing /internal storage/Android/data to be more akin to Finder (Mac) or iFile, I would recommend MIXplorer from the XDA forums.
