I have problems using StickMount.

The USB devices are recognised, but when I unmount them I can't use the internal memory (16GB) of Galaxy Nexus and I have to reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] user_error:
Sorry for probably skipping right past the answer somewhere...

I'm just burned out on searching and reading through irrelevant search results.

We can mount fat and NTFS, but what about EXT2/3/4?

I would love to be able to mount ext4 as I have issues NTFS (it being all inferior and such)...

I run linux exclusively so no external ext4 support on a device running on ext4 internally is kind of a shocker..

Am I just doing it wrong

, or do we just not have ext4 support for external drives yet?
[Android Apps and Games] ProfEngr:
Looks as if it's a combination of the Anker power bank (portable usb charger) & the connectland 4-port hub. I have a wall-wart powered Cyberpower hub that works just great (using usb host controller). Stickmount still hangs up most of the time. I'll drop off the radar here unless the OP feels a need to troubleshoot.

Edit: and this time around it just magically worked. Mounted the 16GB flash drive AND the 1TB exFAT-formatted HDD (sata-usb adapter). Go figure. USB Host Controller won't mount exFAT/NTFS drives yet.

Edit2: Spoke too soon. I got 4 mount points. sda, sda1, sdb, sdb1.

sda= no clue
sda1= 16GB flash
sdb= no clue
sdb1= 1TB ext hdd. or so I thought.

files transferred to sdb1 ended up on the local storage. Had to delete /sdb1 before the app would show all unmounted. Guess I'm trying to do too much with the little Kindle. FAT32 (in win98se) is limited to 127GB partition anyway. I'll look into other methods of usb storage. Figured it was worth a try.

Thanks again for the work on the APP. Plan to keep it in my kit.
[Android Apps and Games] King_Stannis:
I have a Kindle Fire and I did manage to get Stickmount working for a few times, but it won't mount the same 16GB stick that it did previously. Does this app need superuser permission? I gave it the first time and it worked, so I checked SuperSU when it wasn't working and stickmount was not listed in the SuperSU app. I even bought the SuperSU paid version in case I missed something. But even after uninstalling and reinstalling the stickmount app it isn't asking superuser permission and is not recognizing the port.

Again, the hardware has been recognized in the past, so it is not a cable problem. I have watched a movie on my 16gb card when it was recognized and working.

Do any of you have any idea what is going on with Stickmount, SuperSU, etc for the Kindle Fire?

I'm just trying this on my Nexus after flashing to JB. Although it mounts my devices without issue (tried a 16Gb stick and my DSLR) the folder (.../sda1) always shows as "Empty" in ES File Explorer.

Anyone else found this..?
[Android Apps and Games] derrzredeem:
i think you need to use a file manager that have root capability i.e root explorer, not sure about ES File explorer.

it shows empty in astro either.

ES has root support in settings.

not working with 4.1 JB

Im running 4.1 on my GNex and I am able to see the contents of my flash drive/external sd using shady file manager (Im not too pleased that I cant do this from Linda File Manager, which is my preferred app) but even when i can see the file i cant open it, or even copy it on to the internal sd and when i select properties, it says that the file is 0mb and the 'readable' and 'writeable' fields are both false. This is pretty upsetting, and i have included a frowny face in this post to illustrate my frustration :(
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
StickMount has been updated to v1.5. See if that fixes your JB problems.

Great Thanks for honorable highness dev Chainfire...

[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Hi Chainfire thanks for the update.

I lost the ability to read NTFS on JB though. It detects and mounts the drive but appears empty. Worked fine on ICS. No problems with FAT32 sticks.

Not a kernel issue because USB Mass Storage Watcher managed to mount and read/write. Hope the feedback is useful!

Probably a noob here,

How can I read from NTFS drives?? I'm on stock Jelly Bean rooted and FAT32 works fine, but I want to get rid of the 4GB limitation.

The only solution is another kernel?? Is there a way to load the required modules without flashing another kernel???

If (and only IF) the only solution is another Kernel, which one?? I want one that is closest to stock. I don't do any OC or stuff like that.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

[Android Apps and Games] stoobie-doo:
I just discovered this app and am having the same issue. I've already tried wiping superuser data. Does this only work on the Nexus, or should it also work on the Galaxy S III (AT&T)?

EDIT: Stickmount requested su with a different flash drive. Behavior is still odd; I have a 64GB flash drive that Stickmount recognizes and appears to be navigable to, but the phone reports as a damaged SD card, others are working as expected. Not really sure what is going on.
[Android Apps and Games] ChrisRaabe:
Hi Gals and Guys,

StickMount doesn't allow access to NTFS media for me after upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (bigxie_maguro_OTA_JRO03C-signed). FAT formatted thumb drive works as before. With rooted ICS 4.0.4 (yakju IMM76I) all was fine.

Anybody has an idea to solve this problem?

Edit: 07/26 12:55 PM

I've found a solution: after copying ntfs-3g (STABLE Version 2011.1.15 (January 23, 2011) compiled by farazite http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/128...ndroid-tablet/page__view__findpost__p__132794) to /system/xbin set the permission to 755 rebooted to be sure...

Can StickMount work with a usb device with 2 partitions

Hi Chainfire,

First off, loving your work :)

I just got one of these natty little usb devices: http://www.noosyapple.com/cp/html/?69.html

Basically it's a standard 4gb usb stick, which also has a microsd card slot (which I have filled with a 32gb card), which also has the smaller usb-b connection, allowing me to plug it into my SGS2 phone and my Nexus 7 tablet as an OTG device.

The deive works 100% fine with a pc (running Windows 7), i.e. both the 4gb partition and and the 32gb microsd card are accessible in Windows but when I connect the device to both my phone and the tablet (both running CM10 Jellybean custom roms), only the onboard 4gb partition is visible and show up BUT I do get more than one partition listed as it connects in the StickMount app's toast notification, i.e.

Active mounts:

/sdcard/usbStorage/sdb1

/sdcard/usbStorage/sda1

/sdcard/usbStorage/sda

Any ideas please ??

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Looking at that, it almost seems to be mounting one, then mounting the other to the same location (thus replacing the first mount). I suggest you make a logcat of it, though.
[Android Apps and Games] CharlesW123:
Will get a logcat done when I get chance, cheers.

Weirdly enough, on the Nexus 7 with Stickmount disabled the usb stick mounts and only the 32gb partition is available, so I'm kinda ok with that but would be nice to get both partitions showing up :)

UPDATE 27/07 - It's working now, must be the custom rom I was on not working well with stick mount, using v6 of the modaco custom rom and it's now showing both partitions fine in Android too. So false alarm with regards to StickMount :)

Dear Chainfire, Please Made this StickMount

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Dear Chainfire, Please Made this StickMount WITH OUT ROOT for Nexus 4.0.4
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
This app, in order to work, needs to run the 'mount' command. The 'mount' command needs elevated privileges, so no user app will ever be able to do this without root.

I'm not sure if it could be made to work without root if installed as a system app, but if you can get this installed as a system app you either already have root, or can get it the same way, so even if it can be made to work without root as a system app, there would be very little point.
[Android Apps and Games] FranzVz:
I put some albums on a USB drive.

Mounted fine.

However when running a music app it shows all MP3 files twice. Could this be because it's symlink with mnt/usbdrive, and also in sdcard/usbdrive/sda1?

How can I make it so it only displays them once?

I verified with ES File Explorer, and only one instance of those MP3's appear on the USB Drive.

Hi folks. I'm running a rooted Nexus 7. When I connected an 8GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro, it mounts (as /sdcard/usbStorage/sda/), but I don't see any files. But when I mount a sd card reader with a 2GB sd from my camera, that works just fine and I can see all of the pictures on it. Any ideas? Is it just that some flash drives will not work?
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
It's highly likely that the 8GB stick is formatted with NTFS while the 2 GB sd card is formatted with FAT32. (this is all presumptions of course)

The app works great with FAT32 but is known to have problems with NTFS.
[Android Apps and Games] morfinx:
I checked, the 8GB is FAT32. I reformatted just in case. Still no go.
[Android Apps and Games] morfinx:
Just tried a Kingston Datatraveler 16GB and that works fine too. Looks like it's just the Cruzer Micro 8GB that has issues.
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Sometimes it just comes down to luck. Try out the app that someone linked a page or two ago. I think its called USB Mass Storage Watcher. Works for all types of sticks but buggy as hell. But I like to keep the app on the phone as a secondary backup for cases like this.
[Android Apps and Games] iarejohnsmith:
On our Nexus 7 using a Kingston 32GB mass storage yielded mixed results I think. The folder showed more folders named "sda" and "sda1" in it, which definitely should not be there. However, just as I was despairing I looked into "sda1" and found my files! So I guess it still works, it's just the files are misplaced. This is on FAT32 format by the way (I tried exFAT first, showed "sda" and "sda1" with no files inside, so does not work). Have you guys found a cure for the "sda" problem? I'm sorry if I'm asking something stupid since I didn't read through all the pages.

Also, another stupid question, is there any chance this will become available to other devices? Like my Motorola Atrix 2;) ? Or does this app only work with phones that can already supply power to the attached devices?

Good work Chainfire! Thanks very much!
[Android Apps and Games] dilldoe:
you get those folders because you haven't properly unmounted the drive b4 removing it. so it still thinks a drive is connected and creates a new mount (folder) the next time you plug it in.

a quick reboot will remove those folders.

also, this happens if the device goes to sleep while mounted. mines went to sleep during file transfer and wouldn't turn back on. had to reboot it to work

stickmount supports kindle fire JB rom, but...

There was similar question several pages ago, but still no answer. The problem is to mount multilanguage usb flash drive, for instance, with english and cyrilic files and folders. Default settings produce qustion marks in place of names different from english - something like "???? ???". I know there is ability to force utf-8 and write codepage manually. Results are the same with uft-8 option selected and manually entered 1251 cyrilic codepage. All other files and folders on /sdcard partition have no issues with names. Is there any way to configure mount options somewhere in a dedicated file? Does anybody have experince in mounting multilanguage sticks with this app?

problem with NEXUS & JellyBean

I have two problems with Galaxy Nexus with JellyBean:

1. when stickmount mount the directory /sdcard/usbStorage == /storage/sdcard0/usbStorage/sda1 i see every media duplicated. I think this problem is present because JellyBean mount the directory /mnt/usbdisk by itself !!!

2. when stickmount unmount the directory /sdcard/usbStorage (and it works well because I receive the message Active mount: NONE and the directory /sdcard/usbStorage disappear from FileManager) the directory /mnt/usbdisk is stilll mounted and when I disconnect the USB I receive a error message from JellyBean that I have disconnected the USB without unmount

So I think that StickMount needs an UPDATE to work with this configuration (Galaxy Nexus + Jelly Bean).

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Which ROM are you using? I don't see this behaviour on ARHD 6, which is a JB ROM. Are you sure your ROM doesn't have Stickmount-like functionality built into it already?
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
I'm having the problem (no.2) as well but i'm not sure this app can solve it. After all the OS automounts the USB and there's nothing the app can do to prevent that. Someone who used CM10 showed me that he has the option to unmount USB under Settings>Storage. What ROM are you using? (I'm on AOKP JB1 and nightlies prior to that with this bug)
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
This definitely sounds like those ROMs have USB mounting built into them. If that's the case, you shouldn't need Stickmount, it's for those of us using ROMs which don't have that functionality built in.
[Android Apps and Games] bastardociccio:
I use AOKP JB b1 that doesn't have a "buil in" mount.

I re-check the problem and I notice this:

1.with ONLY AOKP (three wipe, install AOKP b1 and gapps) it doesn't have the first problem (duplicated folders).

I don't see /mnt/usbdisk mounted... but is present the second problem with unmount

(stickmount unmount the USB but when I disconnect the USB I receive a notification that I have removed the USB and this notification can't be removed from notification bar)

2.After I install "Franco Kernel" I have the duplicated folders. Maybe is the Franco Kernel that mount the USB in /mnt/usbdisk So now I use ONLY AOKP with his kernel (3.0.36-tuna-faux123-jb-019)

So now I think the problem is the kernel.

Which Kernel are you use with ARHD 6 ?

I tested also with stock kernel 3.0.31 but the same issue is present
