To those with problems with their car stereo:

What filesystem are you using? exFAT? If yes, that's probably why it does not work. Try if FAT32 works better (there are tutorials online how to format big microSD cards as FAT32).

This is just speculation though!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] brolee93:
Please it is possible to add this option ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] djdig:
Its not the file system for the car audio, the usb adapter on the aftermarket radio's picks up just fine. I can take my card out of my phone and put it in a sd reader and plug it into my radio and it works perfectly. The drive is being picked up as a cd drive, which doesn't come back removable disk r/w access and the radio (in my case) and the 2 others I tried it on are saying Read Format.

I have tested it on my home theater, radio, etc.... I take the card from the back of the phone and use a sd reader to usb and it works perfectly.

Granted I am sure someone has an exFAT file system but I know I tried from 32 and < and they all worked fine. Something in the command line is making it output to that cd drive, that is why I posted that screenshot of that init.sh log where it echoes back the mass storage as a cd rom, I am really grasping at straws now, would love to see a fix on this.

*edit* And yes, before someone ask I have tried multiple sd card's to see if one of them was bad. But I have two class 10 32gb and one class 10 16gb, and they all work the same way.

Just wait like 60 seconds for it to stop being accessed or you can clear memory and put it in MMS right after, or use the application manager to stop it manually.

Folder structure

Hi,

Been using your app so i can hook my I9300/TF201 up to my car stereo to play my music. Works fine but i was just wondering if there's a way to change the way it sees the folder structure? I have my music in Artist > Album > Songs structure but it only sees the Album folder. For example, say band ACDC, it will come up with Black Ice, Razors Edge etc instead of ACDC. Basically only sees the last folder in the structure.

EG: Only folder seen in bold

Music\ACDC\Black Ice\Rock 'N Roll Train.mp3

Now I know its not a problem with the app itself but is there someway I can not let it bypass the artist folder? The iPod/iPhone does it properly which I had before getting this. Glad I made the switch but this is 1 of the issues I have at the moment. Maybe somehow tricking it into thinking its an iPod?

Thanks for this awesome app and for the future reply :good:

T-Mobile SGH-T999 with rooted stock ICS and version 1.7 of the app worked perfectly with both my computer and car stereo.

Updated via Odin to rooted stock Jellybean. App started throwing errors so I updated to 1.8. Now the app appears to run correctly and works fine on my computer, but the car still cannot detect the card and play music. After reading some earlier replies to this thread with the same problem I checked my SD card and it was already formatted as FAT32, so that isn't the issue.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] link1227:
So no way to get it read as mass storage instead of CD Drive?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mmaxmtbc:
first your app ROCKS man finally a real solution for ICS

and want to tell that i have tested it on mu {galaxy s duos} and it's working like charm . so please in the next release rename it to something generic not for S3 only and if you could adjust resolution to fit all devices

here are my device info and steps to make it work

SAMSUNG GALAXY S DUOS GT-S7562

android 4.0.4 stock firmware kernel 3.0.8

superSu Version 0.98

BusyBOX v1.20.2

**Samsung USB driver installed on windows 7 64x

to make it work

1: Root your Device

2: Set USB connection Mode to normal MTP mode

3:run { SGS3 Easy UMS } and Select UMS MODE

4:connect your USB cable AND Done enjoy fast usb data transfer :good::good:

5: After you complete Run { SGS3 Easy UMS } and Select (MOUNT CARD) to remount your sd card
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] psycho_asylum:
I've been able to mount my SD card as UMS once since installing the app. It mounted fine on the computer, I managed to copy about 2GB of data and then it stopped, the transfer just looked like it was stuck. I hit cancel and it sat there for a good 5 minutes and finally disappeared. The mounted device on my machine also disappeared. I unplugged and plugged back in my phone and nothing. I tried remounting the SD card from the app, it said it failed but mounted anyway, I then tried UMS again and ever since it has told me that my card is in use by either [0] or [com.process.media] or [com.process.noisefield]. I'm pretty sure that last one in the Bubble Live wallpaper, how does that make any sense?

I've rebooted my phone several times, it now tells me that the sdcard is in use by Lookout. I tried again and now it says [0] again.

edit: Verizon SGS3 running CM10 nightly from 11/25. The 28 nightly has a broken AOSP keyboard apparently. I have a 64GB microSDXC formatted FAT32 since CM10 doesn't support exFAT.

edit2: New processes accessing sdcard1

edit3: I killed mediaserver using adb and was able to mount my sd card on my PC again. It let me transfer 1 file and stopped working. I should mention the card works fine on the phone when copying files back and forth and on my PC when using a card reader.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] :
On your next version you should put in a script to auto kill apps using the sd card since it's annoying sometimes...

That way I don't have to go through several extra steps just to enable mass storage. You know?

Why not implement internal sd card too...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Smask:
Yep, that's something I've experienced on my HTC Desire. Yanking the cable too soon after remounting the SDcard on the phone might screw up the partition/partition table.

1. Select safe removal of the drive on the computer.

2. Wait a couple of seconds so the computer can flush the file cache.

3. Mount the SDcard in Android.

4. Wait a couple of seconds so the phone has control over the card again.

5. Disconnect the cable
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pat357:
Thanks !

I can't make make this app v1.8 to work on my "stock" FW SG3. (yes, it's rooted and yes, it has busybox (Chainfire install)

After a lot of searching and testing, I used the info from this post and now it's working great using a "start" and a "stop" script.

So, there must be something different between the app and those 2 scripts.

When I used v1.8 of the app, I see an error on the screen, but it's gone before I could fully read it.

It goes like "... unable to unmount ExtSDCard........ permission denied to create /sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun0/file...."

Is it because I used the Chainfire installer for Busybox ? Is the "Stericson (Stephan)" installer more complete and/or newer ?

I noticed I need to to type "busybox grep" instead of just "grep" ..... somehow I think this *is* my problem with this app.

Before every command, I need to put "busybox command" ... is this normal ?

Also, are any of you using "Directory Bind" to create more space on the internal SD (talking about SG3 international - I9300XXDLIH) ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] projekt1:
Works like a charm (v1.8) on computer from my Note 2 (i317-ATT). Rooted, no busybox though. I just hit the UMS button, plugged it in to my W7 laptop and voila, the auto-run popped up.

Tried to use it on my car stereo but no go there..

Awesome job OP!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Blammo79:
I have been using the 1.7 version of this app on my SGS3 VZW. It has works great to let me connect my phone to my Mac (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)! I recently updated to CleanRom 5.0 and can no longer use this UMS program. I have tried 1.8, and it seems to start on the phone, but when I try to connect it to my Mac, it shows up as an error, not being able to read the attached disk. Does anyone have any solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I've got a Sprint SPH-L710 on a completely stock and freshly installed (with BusyBox) LJ7 ROM and a 32GB SD card formatted as FAT32. SGS3 Easy UMS seems to be having some difficulties in my case.

I ran the app and clicked UMS Mode, and indeed after a moment it'll say "Successfully Started UMS Mode", but when I connect it to my Mac I get a popup message on my Mac saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Disk Utility shows an Optical Drive that is a 10.84gb "SAMSUNG File-Stor Gadget Media". On a PC I don't even get that much.

Sorry for my ignorance but I read few pages back and I didn't see anything about mounting the internal SD card. I tried with v1.8 (FoxHound v1.5 ROM - LK4 and Yank555 kernel) but I see only the extSDCard mounted.

Is it possible to mount also the internal SD card it or not?

Thank you and sorry if this question has been already answered.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] darkcurrent:
this doesn't work with my att s3.

it shows up as a CD rom drive and I can't write anything to it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Smask:
Short answer: No.

Longer answer: When the computer mounts the drive as an external disk, it takes total control over the partitions on the said drive. The internal "SDcard" resides together with the system partitions and the only way would be to emulate the controller hardware or to use two separate memory chips and controllers, which we don't have.

And remember: Don't rush the unmounting (PC) + remounting (Phone) before removing the USB-cable.

Worked for me before on stock ICS and now after switching to the JB stock. Maybe it is the firmware you are using.

Now I have a new problem. Every time I hook up using MTD instead I can open folders and then open files, but they open as read only. I have to copy them to my PC and do my edits and then copy them back to my phone. I have tried formats and even reinstalling JB.

I believe a previous poster may be on to something about the cd rom stuff. I can see in device manager where my phone is mounted as a cd rom, but there is also a USB Mass Storage Device listed under USB devices. Every time I uninstall the cd rom and scan for hardware it finds the cdrom again.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RoryB:
I edited the init.qcom.usb.sh file to not set the cdrom, but it still comes up. I see a usb mass storage device, but the driver is from microsoft. I tried to add samsung driver, but it is not showing up in my PC. I installed what I believe is all the samsung drivers. I wonder if this is something they are using to push us to the cloud for file transfer.

I had tried going back to ICS, but I think it still gave me the cdrom.

Windows 7 - Could Not Mount Card: [1]

My Windows 7 Device manager doesn't list the Android as MTP Device. It shows up as SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface

Then I get a message: Unable to to find software on your PC that can recognize your device. Service Pack 3. Windows Media Player, version 1.1 or higher, or Samsung USB Driver for Windows XP, or Android file transfer for Mac OS must be installed (see www.microsoft.com or www.android.com/file transfer)

I'm not sure if that message is coming from SGS3 Easy UMS or from Android itself. I think its Android MTP when I sit on the Start MTP Message in SGS3 Easy UMS after it fails to mount the external card in USB Mode. I'm running the rooted VZW Galaxy Note 2. I allowed SGS3 Easy UMS install to install the Stephen BusyBox.

Should I uninstall the ADB Interface software on Windows 7 or is there some other step I should take?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] cpxazn:
I was also experiencing the CD drive issue as some have stated in this thread on the Galaxy S3 (AT&T)

After flashing to stock firmware ICS, I am able to mount as a removable device.

I noticed that MTP breaks when you install the USB drivers directly from the Samsung exe file.

I uninstalled both Kies and the Samsung USB drivers, then installed Kies only.

Now I am able to mount as UMS, and switch back to MTP with no issues.

Note that I am using USB debugging mode.

These are my steps.

1. Mount as UMS.

2. Eject from your PC at the bottom right tray when you are done using it.

3. Hit Mount Card, and you may get a "Could not mount card" message

4. Even though you get the error message, you will get a popup "MTP application will restart to prepare SD card. Countinue?". Hit OK.

5. Hit MTP and it should work.

Would this app be appropriate to have a car stereo USB connector pick up music on an SD card in a Samsung GS3 4G?

I've successfully rooted, installed BusyBox and this app v1.8, but after going to UMS (only lets me after I stop android.media processes), when pressing "Mount card" it just says "Could not mount card [1]". Unsure what to do from here.

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RoachForLife:
Ok i realized I can just import the apk and open it and bingo its installed lol. But the buttons within the app do nothing. This is because Im running CM10 I believe. In the first post it mentions about editing the lines with Terminal Emulator. I am familiar with accessing the app but not how I modify the specific piece of code for this app. Could anyone help me out. Thanks!

When pressing UMS Mode I get:

1. SGS3 Easy UMS has been granted Superuser permissions

2. SGS3 Easy UMS has been granted Superuser permissions

3. extSdCard/external_sd/sdcard1 not mounted

4. Could not get path of external sd card (extSdCard/external_sd/sdcard1) Maybe its unmounted?

Giving an update of my experiments so far on the ATT SGS3

I went back to ICS:

When pressing UMS Mode I get:

1. SGS3 Easy UMS has been granted Superuser permissions

2. SGS3 Easy UMS has been granted Superuser permissions

3. UMS has been set or what ever is says

It mounted as an external drive and when I opened a file it does not say "read only"

I went to JB again:

When pressing UMS Mode I get:

1. SGS3 Easy UMS has been granted Superuser permissions

2. SGS3 Easy UMS has been granted Superuser permissions This one does not occur.

3. UMS has been set or what ever is says

Again, the phone mounts as a CDrom

I wonder if Easy UMS not getting or requesting SU the second time is a useful clue.

I'll have to try to read the code steps to see if I can figure it out.

Anyone figure out a way to stop doubletwist from reading/indexing music files on the sd card to free up the sd card to mount? That seems to be an unresolved and pretty popular problem considering how popular doubletwist is.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RoryB:
Okay, so far I found out folder /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun_ex/ does not exist in my phone. The actual folder in my ATT SGS3 is /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/

I ran the app and then used terminal to put this line of code in

echo "/dev/block/vold/179:97" > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file

It installed the USB Mass Storage driver, but still set it up as a CDrom. So the new code in JB still blocks UMS for me by creating the CDrom instead of an external drive.

The interesting thing is the file above is the same one referenced here

I opened it up and it only had /dev/block/vold/179:97 in it so I do not know how I ended up with a CDrom again since I overwrote that file before connecting to my PC and it has stayed what I changed it to be. I also noticed the file init.qcom.usb.sh references the file /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun0/file and my phone only has /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file

Also, /system/etc/cdrom_install.iso does not exist in my phone. I am beginning to think the file init.qcom.usb.sh is not the culprit.

I may try CM, AOSP or AOKP firmware when I get a chance to see if that makes it work again.

Okay, installed CM10 stable and this works fine. So it is not JB it is just something about the Samsung/AT&T version that breaks it.

You see both cards, but do you see them as drives with letters or cards in the phone?

I use Sync Toy from Microsoft to mimic the Active Sync process of years gone by. It only sees locations with drive letters as a pint it can sync.

The problem when it gets mounted as a CD is I cannot copy to it.

Also, sometimes I use file explorer on my PC to open a file and make changes. It opens read only and cannot save back over it. This happens mounted as UMS or not.
