UPDATE 2:

I tested Stock JB ROM (4.1.1 rooted) with stock kernel (3.0.31) and the issue is not present...

I tested MiNCO v4 (4.1.1 rooted with Franco Kernel) and the issue is not present...

So I think that the problem is AOKP and some other ROM that maybe do something on the USB connection, but not mount the disk.

With Stickmount mount the disk and unmount the disk, but the "something" that the ROM do on USB connection are not "undone" so when you disconnect the USB the system send an Alert.

So, now the question is:

1-can Stickmount unmount disk AND "undone" all the possible "mount" or "something" that some ROM do by itself ?

or

2-can ALL the ROMs do nothing when USB is connected ?

or

3-can other ROM mount the disk when USB is connected (like stickmount) and then make it possible to unmount (with an option in the settings or something in the notification like stickmount) ?
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
To simplify things for you, AOKP automounts the USB regardless of whether the kernel supports it or not. Which is why when you flash franco's you get /mnt/usbdisk because the kernel supports it. However, AOKP for some reason (because it's still early in JB development?) does not have an automount option.

Stickmount is a totally separate app. It mounts/unmount regardless of what the OS is doing. Therefore even if you unmount using Stickmount, the USB is still stuck mounted in AOKP.

So the only "solution" is to use another ROM (i heard CM10 works well with USB) or wait till AOKP fixes this. Or power down your phone when you unplug your USB
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkyRoad:
Can someone please answer my question : Is StickMount suppose to be able to read a USB Flash drive (without power source)?
[Android Apps and Games] efrant:
USB memory stick: yes

USB hard drive: not without power.
[Android Apps and Games] bastardociccio:
Maybe AOKP do "something", but that is not mount usb.

Like you say I have to wait till AOKP fixes this.

P.S.

I tested CM10: the mount/unmount system is present in the ROM (settings/memory).

The usb is mount like /mnt/usbdisk (so in sdcard you can't see the folder)

The problem of notification when usb is disconnected (after unmount from settings) is present!!!

:(

CM10 solve this problem by make possible to clean notification bar by touch the notification (like normal notifications).

Simple solution.

;)

Update:

With The last version of AOKP is possible to clean notification bar like CM10

;)

Got a rooter,unlocked N7 running busybox and SU and with stickmount, when mount my micro sd adapter(one of those tiny adapters) ont my otg cable with a 32gb micro-sdhc stickmount detects something for a few seconds then shutdown.

Weird thing is if i use my ocz flash(32gb also) usb key it works fine, then after that is mounted remove it and i switch over to the previoulsly mentioned microsd it works fine also, that is until reboot the device,then i get the same problem.

Any ideas?

Stickmount doesn't ask for root rights

Unfortunately Stickmount (v1.5 from play store) doesn't request root access on my phone. My phone is a rooted stock GSM Galaxy Nexus with JB 4.1.1 Build Number JRO03C.

The cable (Samsung ET-R205UBEGSTD) and the sticks (one with FTA32 and one with EXT3) can't be wrong because I tried "Nexus Media Importer" from PlayStore and it worked well.

I uninstalled Stickmount and re-installed it several times, but no change. It still does not request root access. I got no SU prompt and the mounting doesn't work either.

I have a few other apps that are requesting and receiving SU access with no issue.

Could you please give some further hints, what can I do to get root rights for Stickmount?
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Go into Superuser (or SuperSU) and remove the entry for Stickmount. It should then request root access again next time it starts up.
[Android Apps and Games] nihil0:
Unfortunately SuperUser hasn't Stickmount in it's list. Never had because I just installed Stickmount today. After installing and starting it it doesn't ask for SU rights... Not once.

EDIT: I just re-flashed the Superuser.zip and now it works. Thank you!

You must make sure that the side that goes into the nexus is a micro usb B form factor.

I can't post a link, but look up: cablestogo.com/resources/usb.asp

Can't get it to work with 3TB drive

Stickmount works fine with my card reader and other hard drives, but it won't work with my Seagate 3TB drive (ST3000DM001-9YN66). I'm using a powered enclosure for the drive.

Stickmount says that it has mounted the drive, but when I check the mount location (sda), it is empty. I used both Solid Explorer and ES File Explorer, neither showed anything in /sdcard/usbStorage/sda. I tried copying some files to sda, they apparently copied successfully. But when I view the drive on my PC (with show system and hidden files and extensions enabled), the files aren't to be found. According to the Windows storage manager a new partition hasn't been created either.

Stickmount can't unmount the drive as well. It says unmounting, but then the drive is still listed as being mounted.

As I said, it works fine with the other drives I tried (1TB and 1.5TB), but not my 3TB drive. I'm not sure if Android just doesn't support 3TB drives, if this is a problem with stickmount, or something else? I'm using the Motley kernel, the drives are formatted NTFS.
[Android Apps and Games] landstander:
I'm seeing very similar behaviour on my Galaxy Nexus, although in my case it's a 4 GB flash drive with a single ext4 partition. The same drive works fine when formatted as fat32, so I'm pretty sure that both the drive and OTG cable are OK.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Any drives over 2TB must be using GPT partition tables, not traditional partition tables. Do we know if Android in general, or your kernel in particular, has support for that?

There have been a fair few people reporting that Stickmount doesn't seem to be mounting EXT4 partitions. No idea why this would be the case, but you're not alone there.
[Android Apps and Games] djeyewater:
Android GPT support

Cheers for the pointer. I checked my other drives (that worked okay), and they are all MBR. So you are probably right that GPT is the problem. According to this post: Android-x86 > GPT support is needed - groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-x86/57nYgvrNP-g , GPT support is available for Android. I will post in the Motley kernel thread to ask for GPT support.

When i plug my stick into the phone it gets mounted on ....../sda. But isn't working.

Then i push the mount again and it get's mounted to sda1, working fine.

Then unmount doesn't work, have to unmount manually with -l switch.
[Android Apps and Games] kennyfool:
I have a problem. I've been trying to get this to work, but can't seem to. I have a 32GB Transcend Micro SD card that I attach to a USB card reader. Now I am able to get StickMount to recognize the card' but when in go into sda1 I dont see all of my files? I see some of them and it says I have a total of 14gb available... anyone experience anything like this?
[Android Apps and Games] 511pf:
Two storage devices?

I'd like to use Stickmount to mount two storage devices at the same time and copy files between them. Does this work?

Details:

I shoot photos and have had cards go bad in the middle of a trip, so I like to back the cards up at night. I'd like to avoid lugging around a laptop. My thinking is that if I can mount two usb storage devices using StickMount, I can mount my camera (with the card in it) and a flash drive using StickMount and then copy photos from one to the other. I'm using a Nexus 7, if it makes a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
AFAIK it should work, so long as either the Nexus 7 can provide enough power or you use a powered hub. If the camera tries to charge over USB it might need a powered hub, but try without first and see how you go. Certainly it can't hurt anything to plug it all in and see.
[Android Apps and Games] :
People always ask me, "Why should I root my perfectly fine galaxy nexus / nexus 7?"

This is the reason I always respond with. This app is absolutely amazing. It works perfectly on both my nexus devices and it has transformed my Android experience on both of them. Thank you for this app chainfire I tell everyone I know about it. When I finish college I will be sure to donate :)
[Android Apps and Games] ProfEngr:
Just wish it was stable on my Kindle ICS. Hit or miss if it'll work or not. Usually not.

Sent from my Thunderbolt using one opposable thumb.
[Android Apps and Games] c_future:
...and did you have success with it? that is exactly the same reason, why I want to by a nexus 7 as well :good:
[Android Apps and Games] 511pf:
Yes it worked, but not the way I described it. I can copy images directly from a USB card reader to a USB Flash drive using the Nexus 7 as the go-between.

The Nexus 7 provides enough power for a small unpowered USB hub and a Flash drive. However, when I plug my camera (Canon Rebel XT) in to the USB hub, Android Gallery opens rather than StickMount mounting the camera as a drive. I think this has to do with the camera being PictBridge enabled. I haven't yet found a way around this.

What I did instead was connected a USB flash card reader. So I have the Nexus -> USB OTG Cable -> Unpowered USB hub and then both the Flash drive and the Flash card reader (with card installed) connected to the hub. This works. The Nexus provides enough power for each of the devices, so none of the external devices have to be powered. I only tried copying about 40 MB of photos, but it worked fine. I'm starting a trip tomorrow, so I'll report back on how this works.

StickMount is *really* finicky and fairly unstable. When I plug in additional devices, I often have to click the Mount option in StickMount for it to work. When I repeatedly mount and unmount, StickMount sometimes only mounts one of the four card slots. Clicking Mount seems to fix this. If the screen turns off with StickMount running, I have to hard reset the device. Once, after unmounting, the device hard booted.

I'm a little nervous about the app's instability screwing up my Flash cards, but we'll see how it goes. If I have problems, I might only connect a single device at a time and do the copy in two steps.

* I bought the USB OTG cable from Monoprice for less than $2.

* The Flash drive is the Kingston DT101G2 (DataTraveler 101 Gen 2) 64 GB. ($40).

* The USB Hub is the HDE USB 2.0 High Speed Mini 4 Port Hub on Amazon ($5).

* The reader is a slim 20-in-1 or something that I don't have access to at the moment.

hello,

I have problems with stickmount.

I can mount the flash drive and move the files, all directories you want.

but some video files do not work, and they are all. avi. not allow me to play and if I look at the details, as they weigh 0mbts appear.

is strange because the same file. avi on pc but if I work in Nexus7 not.

only work some of the files. avi

but another one if not, and have the same extension.

Is there any solution?

by the way, I tried uninstalling the app, delete the data, reformat the pendrive in ntfs and fat32 and does not work.

edit : solved, but not how it works (one hopes)
[Android Apps and Games] timskyline86:
Any ideas as to fix write permissions when mounted?

I can only read, and it wasn't always this way. Even tried forcing it to change thru root explorer and adb. Does this to all mounts. Nothing is locked physically. Been looking and searching but probably missed something from being tired and giving up.

[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
NTFS write support is kernel dependent, but there should be nothing stopping you from writing to FAT32 volumes.
[Android Apps and Games] zz0rr:
good app, thanks

I had a 32gb usb drive that was lighting up, mouse was working on otg cable, but would not mount (the mount point folder was created, but empty). Tried everything, other programs, reformatting to both NTFS and FAT32 in windows (even a full format), but nothing worked.

then I put the stick on my PC, ran "EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition," rebuilt the MBR with windows 2000/XP selected, added a full size NTFS partition, hit apply, put stick on nexus and it loaded right up and mounted! it was read-only with stickmount so I installed paragon ntfs & hfs+ and that got me read/write on stock rooted nexus 7 4.1.1

hope this helps someone- if your drive lights up but the folder is blank and other usb drives work, then you might need an MBR fix and reformat

When I attach usb flash drive it mounts to sdcard/usbStorage/sda1

I un-mount and remove the usb.

I then re-mount the same usb and the directory says sdcard/usbStorage/sda1

HOWEVER.....

When I save an app or play a game my USB flash drive, un-mount and re-mount it goes into sdcard/usbStorage/sdb1

sda1, sdb1, sdc1 ... etc

The only way to stop this is to restart my tablet.

How to access storage (m-sdhc card) in a zte mf112 umts usb stick?

I use StickMount to access regular usb-drive with no problem (Nexus7 with root.)

It is also possible to use the same OTG Kable to connect to internt with a ZTE MF112 UMTS Stick.

I have put an 8 GB Micro-SD Card in the ZTE112 and when connecting am offered the StickMount as an option to access it.

After selecting this there is no entry for the USBStorage where it normally shows up in the android file system.

Any suggestions?

Edit: I have tried the same sdhc 8GB Card attached to the nexus7 via same OTG Cable with a generic card reader and it works fine. I also notice that under win7 the storage does not show up when inserted into the ZTE MF112 - at least with me not installing the connection manager that is included on the stick - which I do not want messing with my pc.

codepage problem

Hello Chainfire!

StickMount works fine on my Iconia Tab A500 (4.0.3), mounts/remounts well.

But instead of Cyrillic characters (Russia), I see only "?????".

What settings should I do to correctly display Russian characters?

(For ex. cyr. "Проверка")

Thx in advance!!
[Android Apps and Games] kronikwisdom:
Spent awhile last night trying to get this app working with NTFS and exfat where I could use just the stock ROM rooted. Ultimately I just went with formatting my USB drives as fat32 instead. No more Issues with my 32gb or 64gb USB drives. Save your time and use fat32, I used the format app from the link below on win 7x64.

http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm

Edit: PS3 only supports fat32 anyway, maybe the same for Xbox but I bricked mine. Just makes things so much easier.
[Android Apps and Games] naturist:
This is the easiest way to mount usb, no kernel flashing nothing. Thanks. Never though this could be so easier.
[Android Apps and Games] likebutta:
I had the same issue. Used 3 different USB sticks, Patriot Supersonic Magnum 64GB, Corsair Voyager 16GB and Corsair Survivor 8GB. None would work as NTFS. It's kind of weird because it detected like it did but it would never see any test files I placed on the drivers and when I tried to create dummy files and folders into it's mount folder, it seemingly created them on internal storage. I was able to view and manipulate them even after removing the USB sticks. So I ended up trying to format to FAT32 like you said and boom, it worked.

Not sure if it's because I am running stock jellybean unlocked/rooted (JRO03C)... maybe I need custom ROM/kernel with proper NTFS support?
[Android Apps and Games] el_charlie:
You need kernel module support to read/write NTFS volumes.

To do so, install NTFS mounter aap from the play store and run it once. It will request root access, allow it. Then you can uninstall that app. All you need is the NTFS-3G binary from that app.

After that, plug your usb thumb drive and enjoy. StickMount will do the rest.

You can thank me later xD.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] likebutta:
Thanks, worked a charm!
[Android Apps and Games] Trynium:
I love this app, very easy to use !

But there is still no writing permission... so I will use USB OTG Helper which can do it !
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
I presume you're talking about for NTFS drives. NTFS writing requires kernel support, anything else which works does so by either adding the kernel module or loading up its own mount and file system code completely independent of the OS. The first would also give the same capability to Stickmount, the second I'd hesitate to trust.

stick mount don't show that it has super user premission

Hello

I had a Gnex with 4.0.2 on it.

i worked with stick mount very well.

but when i update my phone to 4.1.2 and then downgrade to 4.0.4, stickmount doesn't work anymore.

my phone is unlocked and rooted. i have superuser app installed on my phone.

when i open stickmount app, nothing happen. i think it must show me a notification that stickmount granted super user premission.

other programs show me this notification, but stickmount doesn't show me anything and doesn't work.

anyone has idea about my problem?

Thanks a lot.

Hi :)

Since i updated to 4.1.2 Stickmount doesn't write any data to my USB stick. The folder usbStorage/sda exists but it isn't the usb-stick, it is just a folder on the internal storage. It seems that the usb-stick isn't really mounted and the path doesn't work. At 4.1.1 everything worked fine but now there are some problems:(

Hope they are fixed soon?:)

I've just bought a OTG cable for my GNex running CM10.

When I plug it in, I can access the usb stick with root explorer in /storage/usbstick

But when I want to unmount, and safely remove the usb stick, I don't really what to do.

I've installed this app, but when I press unmount, it seems like this usb stick still is mounted when checking in settings / storage. And if I remove the stick, Android still complains about I've removed the stick in a non safe way.
