Hello,

I have a strange issue. StickMount works for me without any problems until yesterday. When I connect my OTG USB Flash drive it was mounted and when I pull the notification bar down an hit Unmount and pull the USB out, the notification in notification bar disappeared. But now, when I connect my OTG USB Flash drive it's mounted correctly (I think), but when I hit the Unmount in notification bar toast says "Active mounts etc etc". Notification in notification bar stays there even when I pull USB out. And also when I reboot the phone, StickMount mounts (who knows what) and I have it in the notification bar. The only way to get rid of the notification is to force stop the app. I've cleared the data and made a fresh install from Play Store too, but the issue is still there.

In /storage/emulated/0/usbStorage/ is *empty* folder Movies which I have on OTG USB flash drive. When USB is Unmounted this folder shouldn't be visible, because it's on the flash drive.

Nexus 5.

Google Play Music: StickMount std vs. Pro

Hi,

before purchasing the Pro version, I'd like to be sure Google Play Music recognizes my local music (on an external USB OTG device).

I'm not subscribed to Google Play Music All Access, this means I

only

have local music files. With Google Play Music & StickMount standard version the music is

not

detected.﻿

With Pro version: yes?

Thanks.

EDIT: Nexus 5 with Corsair Voyager GO 64GB directly attached, no cable between.
[Android Apps and Games] iker_turon:
Ok, perfect, i have tried 3.01 everything is fine.

Thank you Chainfire!
[Android Apps and Games] GROGG88:
This appears to have resolved the force close issue. Any word on storage space visibility?
[Android Apps and Games] rawdealer:
I don't know what to do or what is wrong, but I hqve the same issue on 3.01 (PRO) too. Only that there's now two active mounts :eek:

Storage space visibility

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

I'm uncertain why, but my question about storage space visibility continues to go unanswered? The problem used to apply only to my Nexus 7 (2013), but with the update to v3.01 it now affects my Nexus 5 as well. File explorers (all that I've tried) only show internal storage space.

This issue has been sited by myself in posts #877 and #888, and by others in posts #905 and #908. This poses an issue when trying to copy files to the storage device if the available internal storage space is low.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Maybe it's because (a) you haven't explained the problem in enough detail and (b) I simply don't have an answer.

I'm not even sure *where* you're looking at internal storage size and availability, or how the File Managers detect this. Most likely most of them have it hardcoded to check the available space in /sdcard (system call), which will show you the space available on (gasp) the sdcard. The USB drives are mounted as a subdir in the /sdcard, and those apps probably still check /sdcard and not /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 (for which the system call would indeed return the real available space on the USB drive). It's mounted in /sdcard so all apps can get at the files ...

That is, probably. I don't know which file managers you are using, and I don't have the source, and it's really all up to how those apps are coded. There's nothing I can do about this from my end. Perhaps if you use the /mnt and /storage shortcuts to get at the USB drives correct size will be reported, but that completely depends on the app's code as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I don't have the answer to this at this time. Repeating this question over and over in this thread, by email, and on Google Plus will certainly not help getting it resolved.

It *should*, but I can't guarantee it *does*.

Free version works fine for me but Pro still doesn't mount at all.

Nexus 7 2013 LTE. Could you please have a look at this?
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Turn off all 4 things under "Options" and see if it mounts then. If it does, find out which option causes the mount to fail.
[Android Apps and Games] GROGG88:
Thank you for the response. I typically use Root Explorer, but the same applies with ES File Explorer, Astro File Manager, Root Browser, and Solid Explorer.

If I use the path that is created it shows phone/tablet storage space on the top left:

However, I've found that if I disable 'Mount as partition label' and enable 'Create symbolic links' that I am able to use '/mnt/sda1' as a path for an external sdcard and the storage space is displayed correctly:
[Android Apps and Games] littleromeo:
After updating to the latest version, the app downloaded a couple of files. Are they ntfs and exfat binaries?

If yes can I remove the ones already copied from my internal storage now?
[Android Apps and Games] paaaulo:
It doesn't make any difference. After unchecking all 4 Options it still doesn't work.

I have uninstalled Pro, it works flawless without Pro.

Hello

I bought a Minix Neo X7 mini, the app seems to work but my system already mounted my drives before.

I wanted to be able to control the paths my 3 usb drives get mounted to. Now if I start my system the drives get mounted in the order they start up and thats very random, whichever drive starts first becomes the label USBDISK0 and so on.

Because I indexed the files, mostly movies and music, in a database (xbmc) the paths dont match sometimes and I have to replug all my devices in the order I want them to...

Is there a way to control that with this app?

thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] ulao2:
I have the latest version unlocked but have one issue I cant solve. I use my tablet as my car stereo, if I turn off my ignition and turn it back on ( effectively unplugging the usb and plugging it back in ) My HD mount that was on sda gets froze and then stickmount mounts to sda1. So the software that was reading on sda, can no longer find the files. Is there any way to force a drive to always mount to the same mount point or mount even if it thinks its busy.
[Android Apps and Games] Kusie:
Same issue here since a few days on Nexus 5 (4.4.2 + root + Franco Kernel) and Nexus 7 (2012, Android 4.2.2, Stock kernel), unmounting is not possible, neither through pressing the "unmount" button in Status bar or unplugging the OTG adapter. As soon as I press "unmount" it "re-mounts" immediately.

Using free version of Stickmount.

Besides that I constantly have the problem on my Nexus 7 when watching videos from a USB Stick that the mount is lost as soon as the screen runs off. But It could also be related to ES Datei Explorer since I browse and start video files with this tool. So I start ES file explorer, click the video file, MX Player comes up to play the file just fine. When I turn the screen off with the power button and turn on again and try to continue playing the video, it says "cannot play video file". Going back to ES I still see the files but in fact they are no logner recognised and I have to unplug and replug the OTG to start palying the video file again...

CU,

Kusie
[Android Apps and Games] ulao2:
Ok just a follow up here. in Android is there a /edit/fstab file so that whenever a device with a label is inserted it will be mounted to a folder? Maybe I can edit the fstab and force to another folder?

ok found this

Android has no /etc/fstab

You don't need /etc/fstab to mount an partition. But there is IIRC no mount command either.dev_mount should work (root required). All startup system mounting is done with the/etc/vold.fstab helper script.

or maybe the mount --bind would help?
[Android Apps and Games] Prfndhatrdofman:
Third with this issue it seems. Stickmount also won't "Unmount" and will also randomly mount a drive that isn't even plugged in. Very odd indeed.

Can Stickmount "possibly" work on a 2.3.4 rooted phone?

i cant unmount as well, nexus 5 stock kernel 4.4.2
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
I've got this half working on a drive split formatted with 1 ntfs partition followed by an encrypted TrueCrypt partition, which I think is the problem.

It keeps cycling with 'usb storage removed' then mounts and unmounts both within seconds.

Logcat catches:

mountservice (496) failed to read response to volume shared /storage/emulated/0 ums

Is there a way to have it not attempt to mount/read a seemingly unformatted/raw partition, or just the first one it sees?
[Android Apps and Games] tmagritte:
I have the pro version. For the most part it works fine.

One thing I'd like to get working that I've been unable to is read/write support for exFAT and NTFS file systems, especially exFAT. I downloaded the files linked to in the app description. It wasn't clear if I'm supposed to put the .zip file for the extracted files in the sdcard so I put both in the root of the sdcard. However, this didn't work. I can read from exFAT partitions but when attempting to write anything to them I get a permissions error. I can also read from exFAT without those files on the sdcard, so it's not clear they are being used at all.

Can anyone provide more details on how to get this to work or a link to an appropriate thread that does so.

Another question I have is with regard to free space. Apps that don't check for available space before copying/saving files work fine. But those that do see the available sdcard space rather than that of the attached media, and therefore refuse to copy due to lack of available space.

An example is Solid Explorer. I've used this on my Galaxy Note 10.1 with both stock ROM and Cyanogenmod 11 (without stickmount) and otg media shows up as a USB drive in the list of available devices. On my Nexus 5 using stickmount, it does not show up as a separate device but only within the sdcard subfolder. Is there any way for stickmount to make the mounted media look like a separate device? I've enabled all the options for creating shortcuts/links but these don't seem to help. Is there an example of a file explorer app that sees the media as an independent device with stickmount as is?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] scirio:
Sorry if answered elsewhere but I haven't seen anything conclusive:

Is it required to unmount before pulling my drive? I use the 2leef Access microsd card reader with stickmount. It'd be nice If I could just yank it when my files are done copying/moving.
[Android Apps and Games] wave walker:
Not impressed

I'm having the very same problem with my Nexus 5 (won't unmount/shows mounts that aren't even connected). I've emailed chainfire TWICE, and got no response. What's up with that?

Using version 3.0.1 (with Pro, but Pro version is v. 1.10...is this relevant?).
[Android Apps and Games] ulao2:
yup, I have mentioned this a few times now. Auto unmount or the paid feature "force unmount" ) in not working right. Seem to hang on the the previous device.

i.e.

plug in deivce, mounts to sda

un plug device, then plug it back in

sda is in use ( even though its not ) so it mounts to sda1.

With situations like a fixed in a car, this makes the app un-useble.
[Android Apps and Games] Sacob:
i've installed this app and i don't know what i've done but now my system can't acess the internal sdcard. i've already uninstalled the app but that didn't change a thing..

how can i fix it?

EDIT: i think that's mount point issue because i can access my data through a file explorer through the path /storage/emulated/legacy but i don't think that's the original one. also, a lot of app FC since they can't read my sdcard

Xperia T - No mount available but listed using df command

Xperia T running cyanagenmod 11 (20140424 nightly build) with Kitkat 4.4.2

No usb storage is detected by stickmount when connected however using terminal app dmesg confirms usb detected.

Running df command in terminal there is a mount to the connected usb at /data/media/0/usbStorage/E41D-3F04.

I can manually move the files to the internal storage using terminal commands. Has anyone had a similar experience and worked out how to get the usb to be detected as part of the storage with the ability to use the files with their associated apps?

I am using stickmount 3.01 pro on my Nexus 5 device. When I connect my usb stick, stickmount appears and mounts the stick but immediately un-mounts the stick... This happens continuously until I remove the stick. Any idea how to fix this problem ?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I want to uninstall the files that were downloaded when the app first ran. What is the best way of doing that?
[Android Apps and Games] Kusie:
It seems Chainfire is either no more interested in bugfixing/developing this tool or ignoring this thread/problem on purpose...

Either way, I´m glad I didn´t buy the full version :-/

Too bad, since I really need a reliable UTB OTG mounting, especially with a Nexus device that does not have a SD slot. Does anybody know of a suitable, reliable alternative tool?
[Android Apps and Games] efan3719:
I'd say next best thing is Nexus Media Importer. It doesn't mount it to be seen by other apps but it has a file viewer and media player so it gets the job done.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzruby:
The files are downloaded/copied to the StickMount data folder:

/data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount

The easiest way is to clear the app's cache/data:

Settings > Apps > StickMount

[Android Apps and Games] MIKM.xda:
You should unmount it first. It's just like at windows/linux desktops. Ejecting before unmount or "safe remove..." could lead to filesystem inconsistency.

Did you press "unmount" button before pulling off your drive? Btw, there is no "Auto unmount".

I got similar problems with Superuser App by ClockworkMod team. I think its pretty essential to switch on SuperSU not just recommend! After sucessfull working SuperSU its possible to deactivate "Superuser Access" in Superuser's settings. Thats the way i did because Superuser is hardly integrated in Paranoid ROMs.

I'm using latest Paranoid Android 4.3 Beta 2 (Stock before), Franco Kernel Test48 (currently, but Linaro and Stock works, too), SuperSU Pro and Stickmount Pro. Everything works, so far. Unmounting, read/write/delete on exFAT and NTFS, Harddisks, ... It's all good.:)

Hi. I've been having issues with Corsair's Voyage. No matter what I've tried the drive shows up as other taking up 28gb no matter the format. Anyone know what might be the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] daijizai:
First, thanks for a great set of applications. I have purchased the paid versions several of the applications you have on the market, and enjoy their use daily. That said, I do have a small request for your consideration.

The version of blkid included in AOSP does not enumerate UUID and partition labels for exfat file systems. This makes it difficult for media tracking as the mount point falls back to the device node. Mizuu, for instance, cannot track multiple microSD cards connected via and their contents properly because of this.

I would like to request that you consider including a statically linked current blkid binary in Stickmount (or Stickmount Pro) like you do for mount.exfat-fuse and ntfs-3g to resolve this and allow Stickmount to use partition labels more consistently.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] andy_d0:
Actually it doesn't matter what I connect to it - it looks like there is always something taking up 28gb of space. I've tried reforrmatting to different formats with no luck. Anyone know what might be going on?

CIFS mount development

Great application. Because there is no CIFS mount/manager application that works on Android 4.2 + I will suggest you develope an application to do that. This will be welcome and I will appreciate. Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzruby:
This is a good idea/suggestion but in the meantime if you need to mount a share, see my post HERE

-JR-
[Android Apps and Games] emil_b:
Is this working on any Rom with CIFS support? On my LG G2 with custom kernel with cifs support mounting a cifs share on terminal window is visible only to that terminal window and nowhere else. Researching, I've found this happen because of new behaviour of Dalvik with multiuser support on Android >= 4.2. The only way that was able to mount them and to by visible was to run the script as a debuggerd replacement (Also read hear in the forum) using "start debuggerd".

Thanks.

On the Nexus 5, I'd like to be able to charge wirelessly while I have a stick mounted, but it seems wireless charging is deactivated when there is an active mount.

[Android Apps and Games] noheton:
Stickmount NTFS and EXTFAT read/write support on Nexus 5 (SELinux issue)

I just wanted to tell you my experiance to getting NTFS and EXTFAT read & write support working on my Nexus 5 on stock ROM (o.c. rooted).

It turns out the SELinux features were messing with with the process.

By using the SELinux Mode Changer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux) and setting to permissive mode the NTFS and EXFAT support started working instantly in Root Browser and ES File Manager.

Perhaps in the next Stickmount version a fix for this issue could be integrated e.g. an additional checkbox that sets the setting and resets to permissive the setting on reboot as it is overwritten. I like to not "overload" my phone with helper apps - and now I have to use two to get USB OTG support for NTFS and EXTFAT.

Thanks for your consideration.

noheton
[Android Apps and Games] les02jen17:
I've tried what you've suggested above, but still won't work with my Nexus 5. Using stock ROM, rooted with the latest SuperSU, the plugins on the OP I have extracted and pasted on the root of the emulated sdcard, tried all the file managers I could think of. It gets mounted, but I cannot see my files--just shows an empty directory (EFI and sda2). I'm using a Segate Backup Plus Slim Portable external HDD (2TB). I have also tried re-formatting the file system from exfat to ntfs with same results. :(
[Android Apps and Games] noheton:
Hmm my problem was a bit different. I could see the files on USB Sticks (different brands) and my usb harddrive (Western Digital Passport Slim 1TB) but i could not write to the filesystems. Have you installed / downloaded the additional filesystems plugins?

Stickmount asks you about them the first time you start ... Maybe reinstall Stickmount 3.01 and be sure to download them.
[Android Apps and Games] charesa39:
Wow. That seems rather simple. I'm gonna give it a shot. I installed the add-ons from Stickmount when I first opened it. I can see my files on my exFAT formatted micro SD card, and I can read/copy files onto my device, but I could never write/copy to the card. This will make this app perfect for me. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] les02jen17:
I'm so confused right now. My brother's external portable drive, which is a 1TB WD MyPassport works smoothly, file system is NTFS and I used the NTFS plugin. But when I use my own Seagate Backup plus Slim 2TB it doesn't work! When I plug it in, only sda2 and EFI appears under usbstorage and it does not contain anything. What's wrong? I've tried formatting the drive and deleting the partition and adding it again... still not working. :(
[Android Apps and Games] charesa39:
Not sure, but the only thing I can think of is the way each of the different manufacturers implement their backup software on the drives. I think the WD drive can easily be formatted to erase the software partition. I remember reading that the Seagate Backup Plus drive makes it so you have to actually open it up and modify the hardware to completely get rid of it. This is what made me go with the Expansion Drive without any backup software.
