Anyone here using Stickmount for fixed installation in a car?

I'm finding that every time power is cut to the devices and then restored, my Nexus 7 wants to re-scan the hard drive and therefore I have to wait a few minutes before the same MP3's are found again so I can play them.

There must be a better way of doing this so the Nexus 7 remembers the drive and what's installed on it? I don't mind doing a manual rescan if files change but I wish it would remember everything in the meantime.

2013 Nexus 7

6.01 PureNexus ROM

ElementalX kernel with Timur's USB-OTG patch added

PowerAmp Pro

StickMount Pro

500GB 7200RPM SATA drive

5V powered USB Hub

I wonder what I experience is unique to me or the same as everyone. When a OTG pendrive is inserted, it auto mounts it. To unmount, I have to go look for the APP and open it and then navigate now to unmount. There is a notification. Can't I just go to the navigation and click on it so that it can bring me to StickMount to unmount it ?
[Android Apps and Games] tailslol:
yep same thing here on shield tv full android marshmallow.

but it does not bother me much.
[Android Apps and Games] incognitonk:
Why wont these notifications go away?

https://i.imgur.com/Ui06rSC.png

I've even uninstalled the app. They're still there.

The second is is from when I installed the app a second time hoping it to go away. But it didnt.

EDIT: Multiple reboots fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] incognitonk:
I restarted my device twice before posting that question. Then did a third one right a while after the post. That fixed it. Forgot to edit the post. :P

System crash

I used this with Sony xperia Z and KitKat 4.4.4 system. When I press mount the system crashes and then reboot itself. The same thing happened with the Pro version. I suspected the mount path, but I don't know how to change it. Any help? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] corkiejp:
I thought the xperia phones already had OTG support built in?

My Z1 certainly has it. (Never rooted and locked bootloader).

So why are you using stickmount with it?
[Android Apps and Games] Soufiene:
I use it to mount NTFS usb storage. The built in OTG support the FAT32 only. Thanks for your reply.
[Android Apps and Games] corkiejp:
Thanks for reminding me of that feature of stickmount.

Need to download Win AU ISO on my android tonight.

So Installed stickmount on Redmi Note 3 Pro and It can use NTFS formatted stick.
[Android Apps and Games] jun_ng_1208:
Anyone here is able to use the Stickmount app together with phh's superuser?

I had to use phh's superuser in order to use Magisk...flash back to official SuperSU 2.76 and it works w/o issue...

I'm using Nexus 6p :)
[Android Apps and Games] jdegreef:
Works perfectly on a MXQ Pro TV box.

It even mount my external HD :)
[Android Apps and Games] rgraville:
Just ran into the same problem. Switched from SuperSU to phh and stickmount no longer is working. frusterating because I use the USB OTG thumb drive as my storage location for Titanium Backup.

Did you find a solution/configuration that would allow stickmount to work with phh?
[Android Apps and Games] Vishnuisgod:
too short plz delete
[Android Apps and Games] jun_ng_1208:
I didn't found any solution...finally remained in phh's superuser & use Solid Explorer with built in otg support...

Uninstalled StickMount...
[Android Apps and Games] OnlinerUserBD:
In previous rom, (CM13 based Beanstalk 6.25+revival kernel) my alI of usb devices mounted & detected by their desired apps automatically, including usb mic and recorder.

So, is it possible to mount USB mic (like Zoom H1) and it's sdcard trough this app,

Because, I was unable to do this with StickMount in my nexus 4 with Chroma (AOSP based ROM) + Quanta Kernel v20,

In other side, I've successfully mounted USB storage devices like pendrive and mouse and keyboards.

disable USB-Device not supported notification

Would it be possible to add a function to disable the annoying system notification about the device not being supported and format it the right way (but in reality it works fine due to great Stickmouint)?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Ch3vr0n:
Actually the device is supported, but the filesystem isn't when you use NTFS. But I agree it's damn annoying
[Android Apps and Games] MDA_fan:
Hello StickMount Developer,

i use the StickMount Pro with my Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android 4.4.1 and Android 5.0 on booth Systems it mount my NTFS Storage form a External Harddisk via OTG.

Currently i update to Android 6.0.1 (Android Marshmallow) and i only can open the Files over a Root Explorer for Example FileExplorer.

The Harddisk Mount unter my Diskname "My Passport CS 2 TB" The Filepath is /sdcard/usbStorage/My Passport CS 2 TB.

With the old Android it Mount as Volume on my Explorer an it was able to open in the Stock Explorer from Samsung and all Apps for Example Adobe PDF or other Office Apps without Root Explorer.

I have download the NTFS-Zip Package and save into the SDcard-Folder

On your Feature-List it`s possible to mount as:

(Pro) Mount as partition label

Instead of using the block device name (sda1, sda2, sdb1, etc) for the partition, use the partition label as mount name. If the label is not available, fall back to the partition uuid (unique id). Only if that is not available either, use the block device name as mount.

This helps to keep your files in the same and easily identifiable place!

(Pro) Create symbolic links

Create symbolic links in /mnt and /storage to the actual mounts in /sdcard/usbStorage/, handy with some file managers and some apps that auto-detect storage locations.

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

For Example see the Attachment who display a FAT32 USB Stick with Mount as Volume.

Hl sir my problem otg not supported solutiin
[Android Apps and Games] MrKiasu:
The current version of Stickmount doesn't work on on the Pixel/Pixel XL. I've tried it out with a 7.1.1 AOSP ROM on a Nexus 7 and it works great, so at first glance it isn't a general Nougat problem.

The behaviour I observe is that it creates more than a dozen 'sddX' mount points as well as mounting something that looks like a FAT filesystem, which contains what appears to be radio firmware files. Despite all this, it does not actually ever mount the usb storage device that I plugged in and it reports the mount subsystem as busy. At a guess, it's probably getting tripped up mounting some of these 'sddX' filesystems and never gets to the external device.

I assume this is related to the slot A/B system, so there are a bunch of partitions present, and maybe its actually mounting inactive slot partitions because they have usable filesystems on them.

It ends up being a real mess because you can't unmount reliably, and if you're not careful, could end up messing up some of these filesystems.
[Android Apps and Games] Akhilesh S V:

help, this app doesn't work on my Nexus 5 running 7.1.1 Custom ROM based on CM. whenever I stick my usb, the toast notification said that my usb has been mounted to sdcard/usbstorage/... but whrn I checked with Root Explorer, the folder is there but it's empty. in fact my USB mounted to mnt/media_rw, jut like the normal mounting without StickMount. any idea to make this work? [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] sutobe:
The file downloads won't work for me, anyone has an actual link? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MrKiasu:
I decided to spend a few minutes investigating, and the basic problem is that all the internal flash devices appear as /dev/block/sd* (because they're using UFS instead of emmc?) while on previous Nexus devices (and I guess most other devices), they are mmcblk* nodes. So, the logic in stickmount assumes that sd* devices are external storage and fair game for mounting.

I then did a little binary hack (that requires unpacking apk, converting dex to jar, hexediting class file, then rebuilding apk) to replace the find call (cd /dev/block && ls | cat) with a call out to a script which I wrote to only show /dev/block/sdg* (Plugging in an external usb drive shows up as sdg for me).

And now it works great. w00t. I imagine this will be a trivial fix for chainfire when he gets a chance to look at stickmount again.
[Android Apps and Games] mikeprius:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

Sorry if this is a prior repeat but when I use stickmount and supersu there are not any issues but on cm based roms they have their own packed root manager and stickmount doesn't work. I use stickmount all the time for otg but I avoid cm roms BC of this issue. Is there a way to have it Al detect not using supersu? Thanks.

When truing to download through the program?
[Android Apps and Games] 4930:
I get an error when trying to open Stickmount as it mentions that files have to be downloaded and when I press on "Ok" it gives fatal error mentioning there is no connection when there is. I am on a 200Mbps wifi connection and 4g as well, none seem to work, I have cleaned cache too. Currently running a Nexus 6 with Pure nexus on 7.1.1., I even bought the Pro version thinking it would go away. Please let me know how to achieve a correct update
[Android Apps and Games] waseemakhtar:
Same case here. Stickmiunt cannot download files.
[Android Apps and Games] jdegreef:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

And here too.

I don't know where these updates come from but the server is maybe down...

I solved the problem by restoring a Titanium backup.

Edit : Stickmount doesn't work on my device Moto G4+ XT1642 Stock 6.0.1 Supersu 2.79sr2 (tested with different sticks with and without cable).

Android recognize and mount the stick but not Stickmount. Maybe this is a conflict between Android mounting and Stickmount.

Here's a logcat. It's long because I don't know what part would be relevant.
[Android Apps and Games] de.er:
Hi mate, did you find a solution for this?
[Android Apps and Games] jun_ng_1208:
Hi mate, I didn't try to solve it but I decided just use another explorer with USB otg support instead..
[Android Apps and Games] de.er:
yeah... that's what I'm doing at the moment, but was hoping there was a way to mount a usb drive. I'm using a syncing app to sync a number of folders to a stick and the app only works with mounted drives. StickMount was doing the job brilliantly, but doesn't seem to work on magisk.... :(
[Android Apps and Games] sasiskas:
I have the same problem. any way to fix?

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

can you share that backup please?
[Android Apps and Games] jdegreef:
I will never share a backup on a public thread.

And I greatly expect that [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] takes the time to have a look at this thread.

I've bought the pro version of stickmount and currently I cannot use it on my new Moto G4 plus.

I would expect a bit of support. But I also understand that he's very busy with Supersu.
[Android Apps and Games] sasiskas:
that's fine, I understand your concerns. Anyway, it works fine for me even without the downloaded addons.
[Android Apps and Games] jdegreef:
And still no news from Chainfire...
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I uploaded a version that should fix the download issue. It pulls these files from XDA, but XDA changed the URLs.

As for 7.x support, that'll have to wait some more. Most sticks work for me natively (without StickMount) though ?
[Android Apps and Games] jdegreef:
Thanks, the new version download the updates successfully.

My Moto G4+ is on stock 6.0.1. And yes, my sticks work natively. I just wanted to point out that stickmount doen't work on this device.
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] thanks for the new version...

After I updated it and opened, I got a message "it is reccomended to use supersu v1.93...., or other super user app..." (or something like that :) ), but I have SuperSU v2.79SR3.

It is not a bug.

But I think, it will be good to update that message :)

EDIT: I got this message on my Nexus 7 2013, but not on my Nexus 5X. I don't know why :)
[Android Apps and Games] jdegreef:
Hum, I didn't get that message after removing previous version and installing the new one from Play Store to test the updates download on 2 different devices (Moto G 4G and Moto G4+).
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Force stop the app and re-open it.
[Android Apps and Games] schaggo:
Would you mind sharing the commands needed to get rid of the mess?

It seems I have this mess now and see no way to get it solved/unmounted/cleaned. Stickmount cleanup command doesn't work either (anymore).
[Android Apps and Games] MrKiasu:
The easiest way is to boot into twrp and then delete the usbStorage directory from there. Then you know nothing is mounted.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

I don't think there's a specific issue with 7.x. The big issue is Pixel specific (for now) - that the internal flash shows up as sdX devices, which breaks the assumption that all sdX devices are fair game for stickmount.

[Android Apps and Games] SithBoxer:
Couldn't get StickMount to properly mount a Samsung BAR USB3 128GB flash drive/NTFS on a Samsung Galaxy S5, running latest Samsung Stock ROM (Marshmallow 6.0.1). Even tried sticking NTFS3G in xbin. No dice.

It says it mounts to '/sdcard/usbStorage/sda1' without any errors, but the usbStorage folder is completely empty (even from Root Explorer). This drive mounts and works fine on my Samsung SmartTV (Tizen), my Asus router (Linux), and my multiple Windows PCs so I am pretty certain there is either something up with the Samsung ROM or StickMount itself.

[Android Apps and Games] Raffke:
I found this app to revive my old Xperia phone as a portable music player, needing to attach a portable harddisk containing my music.

But it did not work from scratch (which didn't any of the others apps)...

1. The problem is, I'd need to load the kernel module "usb-storage.ko" first. Obviously USB OTG Helper seemed the only app that supports this, but it did not finish mounting with error code 5.

2. Doing some research, I found that StickMount also already tries to load "fuse.ko" and "ntfs.ko", but without specifying the full path, so it did not succeed for me.

3. Further I had some issues unmounting the sd card. If I do so after or just before mounting an external OTG device, it leaves the OTG mounted and unable to mount again. Or it mounts the same device as sdb1 on second approach. Apart from this I found, that sometimes the mount path differs: it shows "/sdcard/usbStorage/..." in notification, which volumes have been mounted for example, although the actual mount is in "/mnt/sdcard/usbStorage/...".

So I'd prefer to have a configurable mount point. I did some manual tests and found no issues, mounting it directly to "/mnt/usbStorage/...", maybe we could get this as a choice?

4. Last but not least a request for enhancement: after reading several advices to pay attention with NTFS implementations and possible data loss, I'd prefer to mount my devices read-only for most use cases! Would it be possible to add an option to mount devices read-only?

Apart from this comments, I'm really happy having found this tiny (!) helper that seems to work without problems after loading some kernel modules manually - so it'd be perfect it the app did this itself! :)

Hi,

I have a tablet Galaxy Tab 1 (P7510) running on Nougat rooted with supersu 2.79. I finally managed to make stickmount work on it, I see the notification in status bar and the toast message saying that it is correctly mounted on /sdcard/usbstorage/sda1

When I go to that folder, it is empty, but thanks to Es Explorer, if I go to /mnt/ , there I can see my FAT32 pen drive mounted correctly and see all my expected files, so I am happy.

But the problem is that I cannot open any of those files, when I try, android prompts me to choose a player, I choose one but it ends with an error popup saying that it failed to open. This happens on all media files.

What is strange is that on my other tablet which works perfectly, I can see the pen drive mounted correctly not only with stickmount but I also a second drive appears in the built in explorer. This is not the case on my Galaxy tablet.

any idea?

[Android Apps and Games] shamarshall:
I honestly CANNOT remember. That was 5 years, and 2 devices ago. I DO remember that i was having trouble with my OTG cables. one worked better than the other, so maybe start there. Wish i could be more help.
[Android Apps and Games] spainter:
On android 6.0 and newer make sure you eject the drive from android before mounting it with StickMount. That also means you can't select use StickMount by default. Android on my devices mounts it by default and if you try to also use StickMount it seems to confuse android.

On my older devices 4.2+ that has OTG support I have had to edit the buildprop to allow 3rd party apps to access r/w on the otg and sd cards.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] Currently StickMount does not function with Magisk SU. If I use SuperSU, Android Pay stops working. So I am faced with a StickMount vs Android Pay choice. If it is possible/reasonable, could you modify StickMount to work with Magisk SU.

I have a bug to report in StickMount v3.50 on Android O Developer Preview 4.

When I insert the removable media, everything appears to work correctly (Toast notification, Regular Notification with UNMOUNT and OPTIONS buttons), but when I navigate to

/storage/emulated/0/usbStorage

the partition label shows up as a 0 byte file instead of a directory. I used Solid Explorer and the default Android Files app. There are 3 symlinks in

/mnt

all 0 byte files. The only place I can access the removable media data is at

/data/media/0/usbStorage

, but I can't open any files from that directory with any app other than Solid Explorer. Unmounting appears to work correctly (Toast Notification, Regular Notification disappears, and all the mounts and symlinks disappear)

Device: Nexus 6P

Android: v8.0.0 Developer Preview 4 (OPP4.170623.014)

Kernel: ElementalX v5.01

SuperSU: v2.82 (Unfortunately, I can't try with v2.82-SR1 as my Nexus 6P bogs down and then becomes unresponsive shortly after boot with that version on DP4)

StickMount: v3.50
[Android Apps and Games] tim.malone:
Same here, except on Android o final release on my Pixel C. Stickmount worked great on nougat, but on Oreo I just get a zero byte file in /mnt. Oddly enough, if I use my SD card reader, and have the card set to read only, I get a folder in mnt, but it contains no files. Tried with the latest beta of SuperSU sr3 and even with magisk. With both of them, stickmount asks for root and is granted it, but the mount doesn't show up correctly.

I would love to get this working.
[Android Apps and Games] rederikus:
I use a Nexus 7 2013 running Timur's Kernel and Marshmallow in my car. I have the paid version of Stickmount and a 256GB Samsung 850 SSD formatted NTFS as my OTG drive with all my music. I'm using ntfs-3g as required by Chainfire on the Play Store. It all works very well except that Android sees the NTFS drive as and unsupported drive before Stickmount can correctly mount it - duh. The result is that I need to clear the "Unsupported USB Drive" message (if offers to format my drive each time too -- nice) each time I start the car before I can play music. Once the message is cleared, it is perfect. I use Music Folder Full as my music player since Android takes forever to to scan the SSD. Music Folder just looks at directories. Much faster.

So my question is, does anyone know how to disable Marshmallow's auto-USB mount? Or, is there another fix? Maybe Chainfire can fix this in Stickmount. I know that's a big ask., but...

Finally I did let Android try to format my drive a couple of times but it fell over and only corrupted the drive so I just put it back in Windows 10 and formatted and recopied my music.

I really do need a fix if there is one. Thanks for your help.
