So the app can detect the thumbdrive but cannot mount it?

If so, in a terminal emulator as SU can you type the following command and tell me exactly what error message it's providing

/data/data/au.dach.ntfsmount/files/ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/external_usb
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
I've added a new version on the front page, it's very much beta and it's something I've been working on since the moment I uploaded 1.2. The GUI is still a bit rough and I'm not going to guarantee it will be working perfectly but the majority of the included functionality should work.

Feature set

NTFS MicroSD mounting

Multi Filesystem mounting

Upcoming features

Mount connected devices on boot (particularly NTFS MicroSD)

Trigger media scan on mounted drives via context menu

The problems I had with the previous version of the app have disappeared, great job!

How long does your drive take?...

when I first connected a 250gb fat32 to my a500 it took a while for the blinking to cease then I could find it in file expert and in settings/storage... I went out and bought a WD my passport 1tb drive (with much excitement) and plugged it in... didn't work (ntfs) I realized it was ntfs then I formated it with Verbatims fat32 formatter application... plugged into my a500 and waited for the flashing to end... 75 seconds later... it works.

...to my question, How long does it take everyone to get the settings/storage to display the size of your USB/External drive?

Just wondering...

hi, i installed Tiamat Rom v1.0 plus LaunchPad v1.2.2, when using NTFS mount v1.3, it causes FC. Now I can't open NTFS mount.
[Acer Iconia A500] Frank67:
Hi,

tried it on my Flytouch 3/Superpad II ( i know its for a A500) but get a

Parsing error while opening the apk file on my device... on every version of

NTFSMount ...

any ideas ?
[Acer Iconia A500] usman3206:
Excellent!!! Works like charm, no issues at all.

Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
This app is compiled under the honeycomb SDK and uses honeycomb specific library calls. In the case that Flytouch 3 is honeycomb then I'm not terribly sure, can give a logcat of the crash?
[Acer Iconia A500] brandenk0:
Same here, only exception would be that I'm running the Tiamat Kernal v1.4.4. Would this have to do with us having the Tiamat Rom installed? Anyone have any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
Any chance of a logcat?

I could only guess and say it's potentially caused by Tiamat Rom, but until I have a look at a logcat I honestly have no idea.
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
I've uploaded the lastest version to market.

The market version includes automounting on boot as well as media scanning. Media scanning causes honeycomb to look through the mounted drive for media which can be visible from Music and Gallery.

https://market.android.com/details?id=au.dach.drivemount

As above there could be some problems with the Tiamat Rom and I'll look into it as I get further information.
[Acer Iconia A500] shark147:
Hi Sir.

Thanks for your greats job,

but the last version on market, after i run APP, i see FC, i have only rooted and busybox installed

The NTFS Mount v1.2 work fine...

it's possible fix last version?
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
Can you ensure that it is allowed under Superuser. I can reproduce the force closes by disabling su access.
[Acer Iconia A500] shark147:
Yes Sir,

I have allowed Drive Mount v1.1 on Superuser....

My Superuser is v2.3.6.1

My Iconia is: ACER_A500_139.05_COM_GEN1 (ITA)
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
Thanks for the LogCat, a new version is up which fixes fc on loading as well as a partition info parsing error.

Edit:

This crash is actually quite frustrating, I think it's the path of a command I'm using. I've removed the full path so hopefully that should work.
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
Can you try the current market version and give me the LogCat?

It truly is unbelievably frustrating when I can't find out why an app I designed is not working.
[Acer Iconia A500] ptulluri:
while coping large files ( 2gb or more) the tab gets stuck had to restart. is their something i am doing wrong.
[Acer Iconia A500] shark147:
Hi hellcat82,

can you tell me how to found the LogCat?

Don't worry i think you resolve this, it's only question of time...

@EDIT: I have try now the last version Drive Mount v1.2.2, and now work fine, no FC!!! thanks for your support... :)
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
Glad it is working, it must have been the absolute paths I was using.
[Acer Iconia A500] ClydeB1:
The latest version of Drive Mount now no longer FC's on the Xoom with Tiamat rom, so there is progress (thanks :D) but however it does not pick up any attached drives. NTFS Mount 1.2 running on the BRD Honeycomb 3.1 rom had no issues picking up and mounting my drive but now it doesn't even show up as an available drive.

EDIT: To test it, I've just restored my Nandroid backup, connected the hdd to my otg cable and viola, drive is picked up, mount it and all files can be seen, so I guess that confirms that there's nothing wrong with the app, but rather the treatment of usb host in the new Tiamat rom..
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
So not even NTFS mount 1.2 works on Tiamat rom?

Can you try the following command "ls /dev/block" and tell me what you get?
[Acer Iconia A500] cat2115:
Hi, I was wondering why Drive Mount create 2 sda1 folder? the 1st sda1 was empty and the 2nd sda1 folder actually contain all files in my NTFS HDD?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Where are these located? There can't be 2 folders is the same name in the same folder. If you talking about /sda1 vs /mnt/sda1 one should be a symlink that points to the other.
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
Turn off symbolic linking in settings, although it shouldn't be empty it should redirect you to /mnt/sda1.

I just tested it and Symbolic linking seems to work fine for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] cat2115:
I did not enable Symbolic link. I just install Drive Mount and did not touch any setting. When Drive Mount see my HDD and i go to /mnt i saw two sda1.

/mnt/sda1 this is empty

/mnt/sda1 this is my HDD files

even if i delete the empty sda1 out, and then come back to root explorer, i still see that empty sda1 folder

i even try to uninstall drive mount, then reboot xoom, then reinstall Drive mount from market. Still the same result.

But then maybe it's my HDD because i had to press the refresh few time for Drive mount to see my HDD. Then when i click on Mount All, it said mount successful but i do not see my HDD in the mounted section, it's still in the unmount. I had to go to setting and do a force stop, and clear cache. then it works but there's 2 sda1. that's one case.

2nd case, reboot, check in root explorer if there's sda1 folder. confirm no sda1 folder, then connect HDD, Drive mount find and mount my HDD right way w/out doing the above, i still see 2 sda1.

thx for the reply.
[Acer Iconia A500] cat2115:
Ok i know why it's creating 2 sda1. What's happen was if i did not unmount and unplug the otg cable. then later plug the otg cable do a mount, it will give me 2 sda1 folder.
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
That's interesting, it should have given you folders with different names like sda1 and sdb1. I'll look at adding automatic un-mount for 3.1 devices in the next update.
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
didnt work for me, downloaded and installed, plugged in device, toook agggges to find my thumb drive. selected it when it eventually found it > mount > said mounting successful but stayed in "unmounted devices" list > then could not find folders with all my files.

running PRIME android 3.1

[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
Make sure you don't have any stale CIFS mounts because this will cause the app to hang.

When you mount your thumbdrive can you type "mount" in the terminal emulator and see if you find the thumbdrive, also try df and see what comes up.
[Acer Iconia A500] xxnosgothxx:

[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
hi..

i dont understand my hdd can connect and be mounted, but whenever i start copying files (movie files of 700mb) , it will be stopped .. unmounted ...

then again i go to to drive mount, again i mounted and again same thing happened

and the folder which unmounted automatically will still be there, this happen to me 5 times...

so now i have sda1 ,sdb1 till sde1 in my /mnt/ folders

how can i delete this ??

and why my hard disk begin to unmount on it own ?

and if i use my hard disk to open movie files on them... it will just stop spinning, then i unplugged and replugged it... it will not spin, i have to wait hours so that my hard disk can mounted again (that also only for few minutes)

why is this happening to me ? i dont understand ..

UPDATE : nevermind, its just cable problem, i use the original and hhd connected for long, at least it last 700mb file copying :D

but still 1 problem, the sda1, sdb1,sdc1, etc til sde1 in my /mnt still there, how to delete this? using root explore its not possible :(
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
They will be removed on reboot. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
haha.. u r right..

[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Is it possible to symlink the sda, sdb etc with their proper label into usb_storage?

Then we'd have mnt\sda that would correspond to usb_storage\media for example.

I request this feature because if you have many partitions it's hard to tell which is which and the /mnt folder can get very crowded.

Thanks for this great app!
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
I would probably avoid usb_storage because you can also mount sdcards. However I could mount or create a symlink to /external_storage/<label>. If the partition doesn't have a label I could default to the device name.

I'll put it on the todo list :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Isn't usb_storage for USB sticks?
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
Yes but drive mount can also mount sdcards
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
I get the point. Anyway all I want is toget rid of those pesky partitions filling up the /mnt. Any folder that will hold them is ok by me but if it can also be on the /sdcard to avoid /mnt completely it's perfect.

Also I have a bug. My 4-partition hdd shows 5 partitions. 4ntfs and one lba that can't be mounted. I don't deny that that hdd has a rich formating and partitioning hstory but it may be a bug.

Hi,

I am seriously considering get the Acer Iconia A500. I wanted to make sure that, with this apk fix after rooting, the USB connection will support self-powered USB hard drives (that is, portable hard drives with no power connection). I searched through this forum and it seems there are some differing opinions, though I think some of the feedback was coming from owners of the Xoom? Anyways, any help is appreciated. If this does work, I can then use a player like RockPlayer or MoboPlayer to watch movies from my hard drive? Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] DigitalMD:
Some USB self powered drives will work fine. Some will not. Just depends on how much power the drive requires. This is also the case on many laptops and why some drives come with a Y connector so you can attach two USB ports to provide power

1. Do you have an OP thread here on XDA dedicated to this app?

Is anyone else experiencing the following two issues with the physical kb:

1) Start to compose a text or email for example

2) Slide open the physical keyboard and want to use a "symbol" character

3) So -- press FN then Spacebar

Result - no window pops open with the symbol characters like it should

Strangely enough - with no texting or email app open -- just from the home screen for example -- sliding open the physical keyboard and pressing FN then spacebar -- the window with the special characters does pop open

Second question -- anyone else noticing that after a single press of FN or caps-on keys, their lights (at top of physical kb) each remain on after having then pressed an alpha key?

Thanks --

Yea, I could go through each and every post of every thread, bt instead of taking several days to do that, figure I will take the shortcut and get with you guys first.

I will be getting my Thunderbolt by Tuesday, and want to jump right into customizing (a little bit, no unlocking!), and downloading and installing the apps I need!

So my question to everyone, (coming from an Imagio), what apps do you recommend? What widgets? And what about different clocks and other things?

I notice there are some with text clocks and calendars, I would really like that. Is that something easy to install?

And what about modding so that I can throw alot of stuff on the SD card instead of stacking up my phones memory? Any suggestions there?

Same question regarding performance, there are several apps that run in the background, and I hear that they are not able to be shut off (except for what the XDA wiz kids have come up with) in order to save battery life. Is that correct? If so, can I shut them down or remove them?

What about skype, does it come with it installed or not?

Thats all I got for now, I am sure there will be more! So any advice and suggestions would be great.

You guys really helped make my Imagio last this long, looking forward to working with you guys on a brand new phone.

Install everything in your internal memory. It's MUCH faster than the SD Card. For media (MP3s, videos, etc.) you don't have much of an option unless you unlock it - those go on your SD Card. And even if you unlocked it, I'd still recommend you put them there. :-)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
Uninstall as much of the pre-installed software as you can that you won't use. That said, you'll be stuck with most of the bloat. However, it's not really a problem - it's pretty smooth and performs pretty well, stock.

Lastly, BEWARE of anybody who tells you to install a tool like Advanced Task Killer. This tool will NOT speed up your phone - it will just slow you down a bit (probably not enough for you to notice) but it will drain your battery even faster than normal. The battery life on this phone is bad enough - you don't need to make it worse!
