Nexus 4

I don't see anybody else confirming this in the thread....

However, with this app, I do have USB-OTG working on my Nexus 4, with CM11 and. Obviously I'm having to use a Y cable, as the micro USB port isn't powered on the Nexus 4.

The only thing not working is automatic recognition - I'm having to manually launch the app after inserting a memory stick.

Thanks dev!

For those of you facing automount problems, keep the USB stick drive inserted /plugged into the phone's USB port (mounted or not) and reboot your device. During the end of the reboot, stickmount notification and prompt window will come on asking if you want to use stickmount to mount the USB drive?..tick the option for "always do this action" and press OK. The next time, stickmount will automount your drive on plugging in!

Are there OTG devices that may not work with Stickmount / Nexus 7? I'm unable to get my Nexus to see that there is a 32gb microsd card for storage. Shows that there is 24gb in use when there is nothing on the card.

I tried using the symbolic option and set Root Explorer to /mnt/sda1 but that did not work

3TB NTFS

Hi guys,

I have a 3TB NTFS that has all my media on it. I'm going away for the week so I want to take it with me. I tried to use StickMount on both my Fire TV and my Sprint Note 2. It's not working for both. When I plug in the USB I get that it mounts to /sdcard/usbStorage/sda. Normally I would expect to see sda1 or something similar but I got just sda. I checked the folder and it was empty but I know it contains data. What am I doing wrong? Oh I even added the ntfs-3g to the root of /sdcard and still can't access my data.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

BlueKalel
[Android Apps and Games] ElectronicWar:
Try it first with a simple USB thumb drive which is FAT32 formatted and contains some images or MP3 files.

If this works, try to move forward with the same drive, but format it NTFS and try again.

Also make sure that you always unmount before unplugging or the file system might get corrupted which sometimes prevents re-mounting.

On a side note, sometimes I had to reboot the phone (Nexus 5) to get it work again.

It is not working on my nexus 7 2013. It is only working on my galaxy s3. Funny, since OP specifically stated that this app is made with "nexus" in mind. Sigh. The only apps that work with my nexus 7 are Nexus Media Importer, Total Commander USB stick plugin, USB Nexus USB otg file manager, etc. But I need stickmount solution, where I can read my subtitles as well, because with other apps (NMI, TC USB plugin, Nexus OTG file m.) I have to copy subtitles before I can use them, because I cant locate them since USB stick is not fixed in root folder, where SD card/internal storage is. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[CF] [root] StickMount need help

ok i have nexus 7 2013, i rooted it (root still active). Android build is 4.4.4. I also have [root] StickMount (paid version) when it was first installed i could access my videos music and iso for my emulators like for FPse for android. I have a 1tb Toshiba external hard drive.

now when i try to mount drive wont work. I have tried re-rooting nexus 7, re downloading [root] StickMount (paid version) and installing it. i have also tried 4 other otg cables.

nothing is working to get access to hard drive. only change between when working and stopped working is 1. [root] StickMount (paid version) was updated. 2. I downloaded Tincore Keymapper (I have tried uninstalling it and rebooting nexus 7 without it installed still doesn't work.)

I also have dl the file ntfs-3g-only file and installed it still nothing. My hard drive is formated ntfs.

exFAT on Nexus 5 Android 5.0 Lollipop

I'm using the new factory image of Android 5.0 with the stock kernel and stock recovery. [Rooted with Chainfire Auto root]

I can't use my exFAT formatted USB in any File Managers. I was previously running CM11 and using their File Manager to read the same USB, but even using their file manager now on 5.0 doesn't work.

FAT32 and NTFS seems to still work fine.

It's potentially not a problem with stickmount as if I use Android Terminal Emulator I can navigate to the USB and see the files it contains.

Is there anything else I can try to get it working in other apps?

(I've already put mount.exfat-fuse and ntfs-3g in the base directory of my sdcard)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Do you need to use su under terminal emulator, or does it work without?

It's quite possible some more SELinux policies need patching for exFAT. A logcat with the "audit" lines from during use of the file explorers could be helpful.

Also note that StickMount can only work with SuperSU at this time.

Mounting exFAT fine on Stock - Rooted 5.0. Able to read and copy from without any issue.

However writing is failing. Upon setting SELinux to Permissive via mode changer, was able to write to USB-OTG exFAT.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Hmm, writing works for me as well. Please reboot, do *not* switch SELinux to permissive, mount exFAT drive, write to the drive (and fail), then create a full logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] thatsashok:
As requested here is the full logcat following the same process flow as explained. In addition tried to create folder, tried writing stuff and unmounted.

Hope this helps.

Edit : Earlier in KK I faced the same problem writing to exFAT on Stock Rooted as well as Stock rooted w/ ElementalX Kernel. Having the exfat.fuse files in root of sdcard too.

I got advices from people for using the SELinux mode changer and it worked. So used the same here.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Thanks. Please reboot, make sure you are running as enforcing, and execute this from adb shell or terminal emulator:

su
supolicy --live "allow unlabeled unlabeled filesystem associate"
exit

See if you can write afterwards. If not, produce a logcat again.

I know lots of people go for SELinux mode changer on sign of trouble, but really, it is the devil. It leads to users circumventing security rather than fixing the security issues, which is bad.
[Android Apps and Games] thatsashok:
Whoa..!

Works. Able to write to exFAT now without change in SELinux policy enforcing.

I have some queries

1. Can this be put into Stickmount package so everything is covered install time itself.

2. Please explain what was the happening earlier that prevented write to exFAT and what these commands done to supolicy binary.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Just uploaded v3.23 to the Play store which will execute this command when needed. Your device will update with the new version sometime later today.

What the command did is patch a specific SELinux policy that was preventing you from creating "unlabeled" files on an "unlabeled" filesystem. Unlabeled means that it has no specific SELinux context. The exFAT mount commands do not support security labels so exFAT files and filesystems turn out unlabeled. This issue does not occur with NTFS or FAT drives because those mounts do support proper labeling. Can't explain it any better without a full course in SELinux.

What is odd is that this policy is apparently present on your device, but not on any of mine. Which exact device and firmware are you using?

First of all thanks for the explanation. :good:

Coming to the device part. I have installed factory image on my Nexus 5 - 16 GB manual install.

Additional info (Chronological order)

As for the rooting process I installed TWRP 2.8.1 then went straight ahead to install SuperSU 2.16 stable via flashable zip. Failed and gave missing binary error. Later flashed SuperSU 2.19 via TWRP again and same error of missing binary. Both cases root was broken (via Root Checker).

But after using CF-AutoRoot and in the process it patches something during install and has v2.20 and install was success and I have clear root access and SuperSU binary missing error gone.

After that restored older apps via Titanium backup beta for Lollipop (However to make Titanium backup read my exFAT Meenova OTG used SELinux mode changer to set it to permissive).

Restored apps,updated them and everything is fine. until the moment of our discussion which led to this discovery of odd policy.

Hi, just a short question, is it possible to get Stickmount working with SuperSU 2.20? On my Nexus 9 Stickmount won't mount because it thinks SuperSU is outdated and I should update it.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Race condition between SuperSU and StickMount that can occur the first times you try to use it. Reboot your device, wait 5 minutes, then start StickMount, and grant it access.
[Android Apps and Games] D-m-x:
Worked fine, thanks. Revoked Access for Stickmount, rebooted, waited 5 Minutes, connected my OTG Stick and granted access again.

Should you experience this again, just try closing any applications that might be accessing your external storage (you can start with apps you've explicitly opened for this purpose, like media players). Stickmount Pro will automate this process for you.

Could it be the reader? I'll buy a new one. I have ****ty sprint and thus only had access to a 32gb model, but I'm also kind of a music nerd and really want my 64 microsd card to be used here. Any good reader recommendations that wouldn't be obtrusive?

Hi.

1. Is there any way to tell what the current mounts are (via Stickmount)? (Rather than going into a file browser and looking at /usbStorage/)

2. Are any of the (Pro) features actually activate in the FREE version? (I only ask, as they are shown as CHECKED rather than unchecked. I haven't seen symbolic links for /mnt or /storage, so I'm guessing the answer is 'no').

3. Is there any way to force a specific storage device to appear as sda1 (or whatever I nominate)? I have a 1TB NTFS HDD which I need to appear as sda1, but occasionally appears as sda2 (probably due to unmount issues) and this messes up my entire music library. (I noticed earlier in the thread, a comment/request about placing a file in the root of a storage device and using that to 'force' Stickmount to mount that device to that label.)

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] GrayJack:
Two questions about the app.

1. My device already has mounting points /mnt/UsbDriveA .. /mnt/UsbDriveF. Why StickMount creates additional points and doesn't use already created? Is it possible to make it use exactly existing ones?

2.

- this is a great feature, but is it possible in any way to list apps which blocks unmounting process?

Problems

Problem with Nexus 6, 5.0.1 (and 5.0 from what I remember)

No matter what, always, there is an active mount for "sda". The folder "/sdcard/usbStorage/sda" in ES File Explorer just has a file called "sda" in it and I can't write to the directory. Even when no USB devices are connected, this mount is still there. Selecting umount does nothing, it just stays put. And I have Pro with "kill apps preventing unmount" checked. Why would this be happening?

Also, with exFAT on 5.0 (haven't tried with 5.0.1), "mount as filesystem label" does not work, it still mounts with "sda1". NTFS formatted SD cards in the same reader with the same cable and everything do not have this problem. I've since switched to NTFS, but I wanted to make people aware of this problem as well.

To reply to some of my own queries:

1. @ Chainfire: Would it be possible to provide the user with a (toast) notification as to what devices are mounted without having to open the app and click Mount or Unmount? For example, could you make Stickmount flash a notification when the user taps the notification bar item.

3. The option "(Pro) Mount as partition label" does this, and mounts the device as per its volume label :)

I've had success mounting an 8GB USB + 1TB USB HDD with Stickmount. Make sure to use a decent quality powered USB hub or a self powered HDD. Otherwise, even though the HDD might technically be on, it won't get enough power to operate properly and therefore won't get mounted (not stickmount's fault).
