Thanks 4 yr advice.

No, I wasn't aware that I had to unzip them and just put their contents into /sdcard. (I'm so used to apps using Zip files - I once had the opposite problem of trying to do updates within CWM using the unzipped versions, and couldn't understand why it never worked!!)

So I did that, and followed to the letter the rest of your instructions, even to the extent of also uninstalling and reinstalling as well..........but still no dice, either automatically when inserting the USB drive (no pop-up happens), or by tapping on 'Mount' (pop-up says Active Mounts: None).

So my hunch is this particular kernel (jenkins@80-9 #1 SMP PREEMPT 13 Mar 2015) is at fault somehow, but I'm not knowledgeable or experienced enough to know how to solve that.

Is there any way of confirming that Stickmount has definitely picked up and loaded the new binaries? (Strange that JB on my tablet doesn't need them.)

My mind also goes back to what Chainfire said in his OP that "one OTG cable is not the same as another - just because it works on one device doesn't mean it'll work in another". But I did rather assume it would work in KK if it worked in JB; if it was the other way round, only working on the higher Android version, that would be sort of understandable.

Oh well, back to the drawing board......
[Android Apps and Games] jazzruby:
StickMount copies the binaries to it's 'data' folder and works from there, you can check there:

/data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount

Also, you can enable 'Full content' Logging in SuperSU Pro and then check StickMount logs to get an idea of how it all works.

-JR-
[Android Apps and Games] roses2at:
Yep, those files are in /data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount with today's date, as well as in /data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount/files, the latter also having the Zip files I had previously put on the int SD card. (Could I delete them?)

Well, I don't have Super SU Pro, and although I'm a great admirer of Chainfire's work and commitment, I'm not currently in a position to buy any apps at the moment.

But I did find the Enable Pro button which gives me Super SU Pseudo Pro so I can get the option to do Full Content logging where I can see all the granting of SU rights to Stickmount in reverse chronological order.

Sorry to be a dimbo, but where can I see the Stickmount logs please?

BTW, my OTG adapter is a fixed/rigid thing about 3cm long (with no cable) that I got on eBay for 69p including postage - but it came from China and took about 10 days to get here. I was very happy when it worked straightaway on my tablet. All the OTG cables in my local computer stores in England are about a fiver (sometimes more!!) and are all of the flippy-floppity type with about 5cm of cable which I hate cos they're so uncomfortable to use with a tablet or phone (danger of them flopping into the screen and cracking or breaking it too).
[Android Apps and Games] jazzruby:
IIRC on first run of StickMount (w/internet access) if offers to download the zipped binaries then extracts them, if you chose that option would explain the ZIP pkg or it may have copied it from /sdcard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but deleting the ZIPs is ok; it's the binaries that are needed.

In SuperSU the 'LOGS' tab just tap/press any item to see the log.

-JR-
[Android Apps and Games] roses2at:
[

Yes, you're right, it does download 2 things (but doesn't specify what) but now in hindsight I realise it must be those exact files.

I can only presume that in Chainfire's first post of this thread in December 2014 regarding an earlier version of Stickmount, he was recommending that the user downloads these for himself. Since then, he's obviously released a new version which negates that instruction as that downloading and installing is now automatic (assuming - as you say - internet access is enabled).

OK, I did already investigate the logs in Super SU by tapping and holding each entry, and I get something like:

toolbox mount -o rw,remount / /

toolbox mount -o ro,remount / /

exit

and various other ones, but none of these logs give me any indication of why my stick is not being recognised.

EDIT: I just did exactly the same procedure on my tablet, and the log gave a page and a half of code, two thirds of which is in green type, starting with "toolbox mount -o rw,remount / /", but the last half page was in red, which I think is related to the fact that it couldn't find any ex-FAT on the drive (it's only NTFS formatted).
[Android Apps and Games] roses2at:
I managed to copy the 6 log entries for Stickmount from Super SU when I last plugged my USB stick into my Leagoo Lead 3 phone into a single text file (see attachment) and I think and hope they're in the correct chronological order.

But as already stated, I'm not at all sure what they're telling me so I hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanx.

EDIT: Also just noticed that plugging a USB mouse into the phone via this adapter does not give me an on-screen cursor as expected (although it does do so on my tablet PC), so I really am beginning to suspect there is a serious prob somewhere, either with the adapter or something about the 4.4.2 kernel of the Lead 3.
[Android Apps and Games] roses2at:
So, it looks like I'm in the market for a new OTG cable or adapter.

Can someone out there recommend one for me (as cheap as possible) available in the UK from eBay, Amazon or suchlike that they KNOW FOR SURE (i.e. they own one and use it regularly) works with Stickmount on a phone running 4.4.2 KitKat - even better if their phone is one of the Leagoo models (e.g. Lead 1, Lead 2, Lead 3, etc) like mine.

Cheers...

Is anyone using the OEM i9100 (sgs2) OTG cable, can anyone confirm it will work, I have this OTG cable but I have no way to test it, as my gnex is stock rom 4.0.1 and non rooted.

will the official 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 (non rooted) support USB OTG.

thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] taylorzhang:
It's working, but only for a few of my flash drive.

My 2g 4g 8g usb 2.0 flash drives with fat32 works perfectly.

However, the kingston datatraveller 32g usb 3.0 with either NTFS or fat32 doesn't light up.

My two hard drives with ntfs can be lit up but one doesn't show on my nexus, the other has empty directory while it's actually full of hd videos.

Tried my sdxc cards with usb adapter, they can be found and mount by phone but show empty directory.

Stock 4.0.2, rooted.

What do I need to do to let my GN read ntfs?
[Android Apps and Games] Janzomaster:
The kernel needs to support ntfs.

Francos kernel does, I can use ntfs-sticks running AOKP and Francos Kernel.

I've never had a problem accessing any of my sticks. Though writing on it does not work (haven't tried long though).

[Android Apps and Games] mrkmrk:
While this works great for mounting my flash drive, when I tap the notification to unmount, it.doesn't seem to do anything. It gives a toast notification explaining where the current mount is, and that mount is still accessible.

What's significantly worse is that when I remove the flash drive, I.get a persistent and non-dismissable notification

titled "Removed USB storage" with the subtext "USB storage removed. Insert new media." The only way to dismiss this notification seems to be to reboot the phone.

Anyone know the technical reason why this should be so?

[Android Apps and Games] jazzruby:
Not sure if this will help or is related to your issue but looking at your device on DeviceSpecifications shows USB (Charging, Mass storage)

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/f1eb2e34 (scroll down to USB)

In contrast the listing for Nexus 5 shows USB (Charging, Mass storage AND Host)

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/3dfd2923

See if USB Host Diagnostics (also by Chainfire) sheds any light

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.usbhostdiagnostics

Also, does this device have USB Fast Charging/Enabled as this may possibly disable mounting.

HTH,

-JR-
[Android Apps and Games] roses2at:
Well, I can definitely see that Host is missing, although whether that's just an oversight from whoever wrote these webpages (because the phone was too new and/or he didn't have a real example on hand to try out) or if the MTK6582 does indeed not have this facility

However, I found something on the web about another phone (called the INew v3 http://www.gizbeat.com/2899/mt6582-inew-v3-otg-not-working/) from another Chinese manufacturer, also with a MTK6582, that released onto the market about 1,000 of its phones without OTG host facility, but then later corrected the fault and all subsequent devices were OK.

As you can see from post #1182, I had already tried another diagnostics app, but I did just now reinstall Chainfire's one again. All that happens is that it asks me to insert a USB device, count to 10, nothing happens, so I press the back button, and submit the results to CF (Unique code: 692725).

Cannot find anything anywhere in the settings for fast charging enable/disable. Any other Lead 3 owners reading this?
[Android Apps and Games] Oli28:
Hello Chainfire,

I recently used your mounting app a lot and it works great. thanks. Even when I add a Multi-Card Reader it discovers all of the card slots and adds them. What's rather strange is that when I add The CardReader it mounts a so called "Android" Mount which contains a "data" folder and in it a "com.adobe.lrmobile" (lightroom) folder with no files in it. Lightroom is an app that i have installed but i dont know why it mounts that Android thingy. When i then unmount all things and unplug the SD Card Reader all the mounts unmount itselve, just the "Android" mount remains mounted. There is no way to unmount that, and the notification stays for days if i dont forceclose your app.

Can you tell me what information you'll need to fix that issue? Thanks a lot!

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

Is it true that Stickmount doesn't support secondary users? I assume this is because the mount point used (/sdcard/usbStorage) ends up symlinking to a different/variable location based on the active user? Is there any way around this? I'm a secondary user on my wife's tablet, and while Stickmount works fine for her, it force closes for me immediately upon opening (I don't even get a SuperSU prompt). Of course, she has no need for the program at all, so I'm kind of in a bind if I want to use a USB device.

Any assistance you can offer is greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] xpboyd:
Bug loading read-only file system

First off, thanks for a great app! StickMount seems to be the only app I've found that can properly handle extended/logical partitions.

I just want to know if you might have any ideas about why StickMount fails to load a read-only partition.

Is it perhaps trying to load it as read-write and failing at that point?

The partition is a FAT16 logical partition encapsulated by an extended partition of the same size (60MB).

I've tried simulating this device by formatting a USB stick in the same manner and I can successfully mount the USB stick with StickMount.

The only difference is that the USB stick allows write permissions, while the other device's mass storage doesn't.

Thanks,

Chris
[Android Apps and Games] The-Awesome:
This could be cause by the fact that by default SuperSU only allows the main user to have root. So the secondary user (you) doesn't have root which force closes the app. I think this is the root of your problem (ahaha).

If you check the settings in SuperSU in your wife's account you should be able to grant root permissions to all users. If it is already granted then this isn't the problem. (But the bug could be in either app)

Hope that helps
[Android Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Of course this is already granted. The issue I'm referring to is specific to this app.

Constantly mounting HD

I have a problem connecting a hard drive to my Nexus 7 using a (mains powered) SATA - USB adapter. On my PC the drive / adapter work fine. On my tablet the drive spins up, clicks, then spins up, clicks, then spins up, clicks, etc.

It's not mounted in terms of being accessible, but the stickmount toast notification pops up to say the drive is available to mount each time.

The drive is formatted NTFS, I've tried with and without the ntfs-3g driver file in /sdcard/ but the same thing.

This is with SuperSU 2.46 and Android 5.1.1. SELinux is set to permissive.

My memory card reader can be mounted without issues, and I used to be able to mount the hard drive (using a different SATA - USB adapter that is now broken, and on android 4). I've also tried other SATA - USB adapters and they all work okay. It is just this one particular adapter doesn't seem to like Android or USB OTG. Other drives on the same adapter have the same behaviour, so it's not a drive issue.

Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem / a solution could be?
