Hi. I'm having problem with StickMount lately. I'm currently using rooted N7 (5.0.1). Some times my tablet can't detect the OTG flash drive, but some times it can. What causes this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] anoneemooz:
Stickmount hasn't worked for me yet.

I was initially using it with a microsd (Samsung 64gb pro, exFAT) inserted into a card reader which is then inserted to a USB otg cable.

I tried Stickmount first, and I placed the necessary files for exFAT in my /sdcard/ directory. Still not working no matter how many times I plug and unplug the OTG cable. The device would detect it just fine an Stickmount would run etc. but then nothing happens. Going to the Stickmount app, tapping on "Mount" shows that there are no devices present ("None"). I've restarted multiple times, with or without the OTG cable inserted first etc. and still a no go. Checking Solid Explorer, the USB directory never appears in my /sdcard/ or anywhere else.

I then tried ES Explorer, which detected the presence of the USB just fine, but just doesn't work with exFAT. I decided to format the SD card to FAT32 and ES Explorer now can read off it (but not write). Stickmount still gives me the same issue.

Device: Nexus 10

ROM: CM12 12/30 nightly

Nexus 6 here. I find that stick mount runs fine but it is very slow. Using an USB HDD self powered TWRP can write a 2 GB backup directly in about 5 min but stick mount takes about 12 min to copy the backup to the HDD.

mount folder changing

I have a 256gb flash drive( only mention this because my smaller drives do not do this) attached to my nexus 7 with an otg cable. 20 min into playing music from my drive stick mount decides to change the folder name of the drive from sda to sdb or sdc . this kills my playback ability until I do a full rescan, which with my sized library takes an hour. Is there anything I can do to prevent this folder change from occurring. Would pro make this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] LillieBennett:
I am reluctant to go pro when unsatisfied. Usually the pro apps just give extra functionality or remove ads, "works better" is not an option because it would turn people away so my guess is going pro will not help. I think chain needs to allocate some time to modernize this app.

Star N9599T (MT6589T chipset)

I really don't know what's affected what but....

I've had ntfs-3g for a while now & I've been using

ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbotg

which works but is tedious, so I installed Stickmount.

Stickmount didn't seem to work but I did find that the device is being auto-mounted on

/data/media/0/usbStorage/sda1/

So I ran

mount -o remount,rw
ln -s /data/media/0/usbStorage/sda1/ /storage/sda1
mount -o remount,ro /

& the device is appearing & disappearing as expected, though I am using

umount /data/media/0/usbStorage/sda1/

as I am bothered about losing my media archive.

I have no idea whether /data/media/0/usbStorage/sda1/ has always been there or if Stickmount has made it happen, but I am pleased that I now have a slightly tidier solution.

OK, so for the most part this is working great for me on my Nexus 6 running CleanRom. However, when copying images over to the USB drive, my PC recognizes some of them, but others say they're corrupt. However, my phone reads the copied files on the USB drive perfectly. Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Solid Explorer cannot see the entire USB storage, only the free space available on the sdcard. Would buying pro allow a non sdcard mount that would let the file browser see the whole stick?

problems with supersu / CyanogenMod 11

Hi everyone,

I have the following problem / question:

With my rooted Nexus7 (deb) with supersu and stickmount I could mount simultaneously more than one USB-stick / SDcard by attaching a little USB-hub to the OTG cable. (This is very useful for saving photos from SDcard to USB-stick without filling available space on the tablet.)

Now I have CyanogenMod 11 on my nexus and this doesn't work anymore. CM11 has inbuilt USB-mount capability - but it only mounts one drive at a time. To my knowledge CM 11 is using superuser instead of supersu. May be this is the cause of the problem? :confused:

When I try to use stickmount it complains about not finding a recent version of supersu. Trying to mount manually (by clicking on "mount" within stickmount) I get an "mountservice is busy - please wait" error most of the time.

Is there a way of getting stickmount to work with the CM11-inbuilt superuser?

Is it safe trying to exchange CM11-inbuilt superuser against supersu? I read this should be possible, but users also have reported serious problems after doing this exchange.

Thanks a lot for any help / advise and regards

I love this app. I was using something flakey at first and before that I was shelling out and mounting manually …

The main thing I use the sticks for is nandroids (cuz there's no SD in nexuses). If I want to extract things from nandroids, I end up having to shell out and …

mount -o bind /sdcard/usbStorage/blah/TWRP /sdcard/TWRP

… or titanium (et al) can't find the nandroid. It would be nice if those apps knew to look for usb sticks, or could at least ask; but failing that, is there any chance of some kind of automatic mountbind options or triggers? I could maybe do something in tasker I suppose … maybe I just need tasker plugins or triggers?

SM pretends there are active mounts - Hardware is removed.

Hello,

I am using SM 3.26 on N5 with LP 5.0.1, Stock, Routed.

Had a USB HDD (FAT32) with integrated Flash Card readers attached. No cards were inserted in the readers.

These mounted to:

/sdcard/usbStorage/"drivename"

/sdcard/usbStorage/sdb

/sdcard/usbStorage/sdc

/sdcard/usbStorage/sdd

I could copy files from and to FAT32 HDD - Fine so far.

Then the phone hangs (I think due to a problem of Total Commander Beta Version) and I had to force a reboot.

The USB Drive was not attached during reboot.

Now SM always pretends that these mounts are still active and I can't unmount them nor delete the mount points:

/sdcard/usbStorage/sdb

/sdcard/usbStorage/sdc

/sdcard/usbStorage/sdd

BTW: On a N10 with LP5.0.2 mounting / un-mounting worked perfectly.

Try this from a terminal emulator or adb shell, after making sure you do not have any USB mounts attached:

su
rm -f /data/media/0/usbStorage/*
exit

You sure this isn't an issue with the file explorer you are using?
[Android Apps and Games] markusb68:

rm: /data/media/0/usbStorage/sdc: is a directory
rm: /data/media/0/usbStorage/sdd: is a directory

But still the same.

Removing all seperately worked:

Stickmount mounting folder with no USB device attached

Hello, I have a problem with Stickmount, a couple of days ago it started mounting a folder on every startup without having a USB drive attached to my phone or tablet. Apparently it mounts a folder with some data of Nokia's HERE maps, however the folder is always empty. I had the same thing happen with my Nexus 5, it has stopped ever since I uninstalled HERE maps. I usually can't unmount unless i delete the folder first. Once I delete it i can, however after every restart the folder appers again.

Tried deleting stickmounts app data but nothing changed.

Do you have any ideas how to prevent this? Thanks in advance! Screenshots of what's happening are attached

[Android Apps and Games] PanzerGeist:
As per OP, ext2 should be supported...

While stickmount will mount my ext2 formatted drive (16GB total size) and allow me to read it, it does not allow me to write to it.

Is this expected behavior?

Phone is a T-Mobile Galaxy S4 running a vanilla GPE ROM.

Drive is a HP v220w formatted ext2.

OTG cable is some random from Amazon, and works fine to mount R/W fat32 formatted drives.

My USB flash drive won't unmount and when I pull it out of phone there's a folder on my SD that I can't delete now

Tried StickMount (Pro!) on a rooted Amazon FireTV with play store installed.

What works:

Mount at boot time

create symbolic links

what doesn't work:

autoMount

mount by partition label

untested:

kill apps preventing unmount

I checked and the device sends the android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED broadcast.

So if there was any script or intent i could launch to trigger the mount action of stickmount then i could fix the automount issue with a little helper service.

EDIT: In case another firetv user is looking for a solution: I have built a small helper app that starts stickmount everytime you plugin a usb device. Should also work for other devices.

[Android Apps and Games] RobinD42:
Is there a standard way on Lollipop to turn off external storage automounting that may be built-in to the ROM or kernel, so I can use ONLY Stickmount? My device will automount storage devices formatted with simple FAT, but not other partition types. So I use Stickmount for those, but if I also use it for the FAT devices then they end up being mounted twice.
[Android Apps and Games] alvareo:
For what it's worth, workarounds like Nexus Media Importer, Total Commander + Paragon NTFS plugin and ES File Explorer work fine. But other apps that also mount it normally on the system, like USB OTG Helper, and the Paragon standalone app, don't work.

If your kernel supports USB OTG and you also use StickMount, you have to also unmount in Settings/Storage or you will get that message.

Ok, I'm not sure if anybody see this problem..

I'm using Stickmount Pro v3.26 on OnePlus One with official CM 11.0-XNPH05Q ( latest )

The thing is I don't remember when but StickMount is always on notification and says "/sdcard/usbStorage/Android" is mounted... You know there is no SD slot on this device and of course I don't use my phone generally with a USB device attached. I think it shows a system mount as its' own. It's good when it actually mounts a disk but it's absurd that it doesn't leave the notification center even when I remove the disk.

Please help.

you will be able to delete the files from there, not from anywhere else.

Filesystem support

The filesystems supported depends on your device firmware. On most devices, at least vfat/fat/fat32 and ext2/3/4 are supported. On the latest Android versions, ntfs is also supported in read-only mode. Some devices also support exfat out the box, but most do not.

StickMount can utilize the ntfs-3g and mount.exfat-fuse binaries to add support for ntfs (untested) and exfat, but these are not included. If you place the ntfs-3g or mount.exfat-fuse files in the root of your internal storage ( /sdcard ), StickMount will automatically use them.

You can find the needed files here:

ntfs-3g

mount.exfat-fuse

Leagoo Lead 3

Hi,

Can you help with me with something regarding Stickmount (free) v3.26 please?

In the past, I've used it successfully with my 7-inch Tablet PC, an Odys Fusion2in1 running 4.1.1 JellyBean (rooted) and Super SU v2.46. My USB stick (NTFS formatted), connected via a USB-to-micro-USB OTG adapter works fine, and I can read and write files no problem.

However, if I plug exactly the same stick/OTG adapter into my recently purchased Leagoo Lead 3 phone running 4.4.2 KitKat (also rooted), Kernel version 3.4.67, build number Leagoo_lead3_UI_v0.26.5_S0313, also with Stickmount v3.26 and Super SU v2.46, the pop-up says "none mounted". Even when I tap the mount button, nothing happens, and I cannot see the drive or its files anywhere in ES File Explorer.

Would I need to upgrade to Stickmount Pro and/or Super SU Pro to achieve success or is there a workaround using the free versions?

Any advice you can give me would be gratefully received. Thanx.

EDIT: According to your OP #1, I also added the two zip files mentioned to the root of internal storage (/sdcard1 in my case), but still no success. (The tablet works without these files, but I've added them anyway.)
[Android Apps and Games] jazzruby:
You need to EXTRACT the ZIP files to Internal Storage (/sdcard); wasn't clear if you did or not

Open/Run StickMount and it should pickup/load the 2 binaries
