Thanks for your prompt answer. Yes, I got your point and agree with you if there is no other way to do that, but...

What I was thinking, is not to include another button but in the same buy/check license button to create a routine inside "check license", example: if "license file" is not found in internal sd then check it into external sd. Simple as that. 3 more lines in the code to implement that. I think this is pretty much straight forward instead to add a new button/option in the settings menu.

Or you could still, clean your menu and implement a new routine that would assume that if the license is not registered into the cache, independently of the user to click to check or buy, the app would look into sd (internal or external) for the license if present. In this way, you would keep your settings menu much more clean and minimal and would add a new nice feature with no pain. Optimized.. Don't you?

By the way, hey, this is just an idea.. okay? :) I don't wanna bother you in any way, mainly why I really like and appreciate your work ;) Otherwise I wouldn't be a collaborator.

All the best! ;)

Any change to get a working version of Foldermount with "[AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R5 - Feel the Experience of Nexus" ROM? Now it isn't working neither with "Alucard-Kernel-SGS4" nor with "KT-SGS4".

Sorry if I maybe repeat the same question.

Thanks.:good:
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I appreciate all your suggestions. Don't get me wrong :) After all, it's a feedback and suggestion thread more than anything. I like your idea of "silently searching" the external sdcard. However, figuring out the exact path of the external sdcard is an expensive call and I try to minimize it as much as possible. Figuring out the internal sdcard path is quick and is supported natively by Android's APIs so that call is much cheaper. Currently, FolderMount displays a "validate key" button when it finds the license key. So any delay in figuring out the path will incur a delay in showing that button and this is something that I want to avoid. I can support your suggestion in Android KK only as new APIs offer faster solutions to figuring out the exact extSdCard path but that wouldn't work for you given that you're moving back and forth between pre-KK and KK roms.

FolderMount doesn't support unofficial KK kernels. If you got an issue with an official kernel, let me know.

Not working with Note 3 KitKat 4.4.2

Using on official firmware , able to install and patch successfully. after reboot it wont auto or manually mount.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
sh*t hit the fan indeed. On the Note 3, SELinux cannot be turned off. I'm testing some other "hacks" to see if I can work around this issue. Figuring out what sepolicy sammy put in when the entire policy is closed source is a pain in the a$$.

Email me. I might have a test apk for you sometime soon.

Any isue about mounting internal sd? When connect to pc the internalsd doesn't show up, only the externalsd :confused:

Edit:

Unbind all binding file resolve the problem. Don't know why...:rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Does it show duplication? I don't know. I haven't tested it. I honestly barely use mass storage when connecting to pc (I use pull/push). Perhaps someone can test it and let me know what they're expecting and what the current behavior is.

Probably because the internal sd was "in use" so it couldn't un mount/remount to usb.
[Android Software Development] ctrlaltdel:
One more issue with this app is it cant map hidden directories (those start with a dot), can this be included in the next release pls...
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I've been trying hard to avoid forcing people to have busybox installed, but I guess I'm giving up and busybox will be a requirement to give you guys goodies like folder size, hidden folders, etc. I'll make it a hard requirement just like root. No busybox or root? No foldermount. :cowboy: That'll make my life so much easier.
[Android Software Development] peter7769:
hi, will foldermount allow me to navigate to the root folder to move apps from there, i can't seem to get it to work?

Pete
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Not possible with the current version. I want this app to be a mount solution for internal sd -> some eMMC.. no more, no less. I can add additional features such as the ability to select any source but you'll just get no support from me to mount these other directories.
[Android Software Development] peter7769:
ok, thanks for getting back to me so promptly, bit gutted though was hoping to move quite a few apps like that, never mind, i'm sure something will turn up.

[Android Software Development] NCRoadster:
Bought the Pro. Thanks for the great app!

I wasn't able to mount the whole android folder though. Is that normal?
[Android Software Development] PLUG313:
can anyone tell me how much the pro is? ahah

just so I'm ready to buy when I get my S4 <3
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Yea, I highly advise against it. I allowed this only for expert users so I don't support it. My guess: the content of Android folders (obb and data) are mount points themselves, that's why the green pin is probably not showing up for you. You'd have to do some manual adb shell investigation to figure the rest out.

$1.99 my friend.
[Android Software Development] PLUG313:
that's a very accessible price :)

why not put it up for purchase on Google Play though?
[Android Software Development] mynamesteve:
Thanks for this, was the last piece in the 4 2 upgrade.

Working perfect so far on the note 2 with CM10.1, Play store games section here I come :)

One thing I have noticed is it seems to not play nice with a folder with a space in name, no biggy just thought I'd mention it.

Purchased pro and rated in the play store, keep up the good work!
[Android Software Development] NCRoadster:
I apologize if this has been covered before, but I cannot seem to get my folder pairs to mount on boot.

Here are a couple screenshots of my setup. Left one is what I see on boot. I have to make the pins green manually after every reboot.

Did I setup something incorrectly? Thank you.
[Android Software Development] Febby:
It is aviable through google play but just as an in app purchase, or did you mean as a seperate app?
[Android Software Development] PLUG313:
yeah I meant the pro version as a separate,

but maybe it's easier as an in app purchase?
[Android Software Development] Joecascio2000:
If anyone is curious I got the whole android folder to mount properly. Not sure how really.

Before I set up the folder pair, I used Solid Explorer to move the two folders inside the Android folder to a new folder called Androidswap on my external sd card. Once it was completed, about 30 mins later, I created the folder pair (you can see the screenshots below).

I then made sure it worked properly using Solid Explorer I clicked on the android folder on the internal sd card. The path stayed the same but the used space and available space at the bottom match that of my external sd card.

Once I made sure it worked I rebooted. Waited for it to settle. I can tell when the mount works because my timeline widget won't load the pictures until it is able to read them from the external sd card after the mount takes affect. Finally, I played some games (Real Racing 3, Asphalt 7, Modern Combat 4) and they all worked and didn't ask to re download the data.

NOTE: This worked for me. I seem to be a rare case. It could be due to how LG has their sd cards incorporated in the stock ROM, which I am using. It could also be that I used Solid Explorer to move that data. I don't really know. All I know is that it is not advised to mount the whole Android folder. I don't think you will get much support from the dev, in this case.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Yea, reported earlier. I actually fixed this bug but I'm waiting for more major changes before releasing an update. I'm working on busybox integration and giving you guys sizes of folders in the file explorer :cool:

I'd rather have to maintain one apk file than have two free/pro variants. it's also cleaner that way :)
[Android Software Development] egingell:
A license key app, see Titanium Backup, would solve that.

Well, I think in-app billing is cool the way it is now. TitaniumBackup has been around before this in-app billing business was introduced. That's why they have three different ways of activating your "pro key".

Not at the moment. Sorry man :`(

[Android Software Development] chemcup:
After installed and used FolderMount on Samsung P600 the cpu run 100% continually at full speed and the tablet is not responding when the sd card in the tablet but when removing the sd card everything is normal . Uninstalling the FolderMount doesn’t help still the cpu run at full speed when the sd-card is in. how to fix it?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
What process is holding your cpu up to 100%?
[Android Software Development] chemcup:
Unfortunately, I could not find out. I Froze the media storage and the indexing service but did not help. At the end, flashed the firmware again. it seems the fix that FolderMount do in first run cause this problem.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
weird. I can't fix it because I'm not seeing the issue locally and without knowing which process it hanging exactly, then there isn't much I can do.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Madmack I had a really important question. Its kind of complicated so I am going to try and give as much detail and clarity to what it is FolderMount is having trouble doing for me. I am attaching pictures.

I am using a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Dual booting "Stock Samsung Rom" and "4.4.2 CM 11 Rom"

I installed "Asphalt 8" and transfered data to my external SD card using FolderMount on the "Stock Samsung Rom".

Also transfered" FolderMount Backup File" to external SD card

Now when I restore the "FolderMount Backup" in the "4.4.2 CM Rom" I get a message in "Foldermount" asking if I want to make corrections to folder paths. Makes sense because of the difference in external SD card recognition with roms.

But if you look at the other picture my "Android" folder on my SD card shows. Android_secure: Permissions denied when trying to set a destination in "FolderMount"

So when I go to install "Asphalt 8" on the "CM Rom" the data transfered to "External SD card does not get recognized proper and in turn I am forced to download all app data again even tho it is on the" external SD card" transfered over with "FolderMount" using the stock "Samsung Rom"

There has to be a workaround that I'm sure you can find and I would gladly donate towards.

Hope to hear back and thanks for your time.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Picture 2
[Android Software Development] madmack:
From the screenshot, it's the .android_secure folder that's giving a "permission denied" which is normal as it is mounted as a tmpfs. Android folder shows that it's clickable just fine unless I'm missing something.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
I noticed that to lower down in the picture you can see the file shows again as unsecured. Even still the detection is not right.

I'm trying to re-set destinations manually but I have been at it for a few hours and I feel something could be Fine tuned with FolderMount to fix this issue in the future.

The compatability and space I could save if I could link the folders in each rom separate would be amazing and a great addition to FolderMount I'm sure you and many would agree.

I'll keep looking into it but is there anything you could do on your end possibly? I have a feeling that Android_secure file is messing up FolderMount linking the folders.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'm just really not entirely sure what the issue is exactly. That path you're looking at, not sure where it resides exactly, has an Android folder and .android_secure folder. You are not supposed to link or touch the .android_secure folder. The Android folder looks normal to me and is linkable. Seems to me that FM is working fine?:confused:
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
They are both the same folder tho. It only shows up as two separate files in FolderMount. In ES file Explorer I see just the Android folder as there is only the one folder

I'm restarting the process from scratch again manually I'll report back soon.

I know this is a bit complicated.

---------- Post added at 03:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 AM ----------

FolderMount created the Folder as secured I'm guessing because the folder was created transferring data to SD Card with FolderMount.

Why does FolderMount create it as a secured file?

If I'm wrong correct me.

This is why now I'm thinking it's a FolderMount issue.

There must be a way to make this work.

All I want to do is install the app on both roms and share the app data on my external SD card so either Rom can use it when needed. Don't get why there is such a restriction on a file.

Is there anything you can do with FolderMount to make this possible and it compatible?

I have done test folder test, didn't work, everything was fine yesterday i flashed the new negalite rom on my sprint galaxy s4 full wipe, just re installed everything from play store didn't use backups. Now foldermount will move folders still but i cant get the green pin or games to work after i have moved files. showing android 4.3, based on stock mk2. I have uninstalled multi times, have deleted the files off my sd, re installed games then tried, tried to manual and use app analyzer, i have premium, cant remember if it asked to fix anything of first start up it showed all my old paths when i re installed from play store so don't know if there was a backup i need to delete or not. Any and all help is appreciated.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Like I said earlier, .android_secure is NOT Android. They're two different folders and FM surely did not create it. Link to Android, forget about .android_secure. FM isn't written to work with this path.

Most likely a custom kernel issue. I would flash stock MK2 via Odin, and if that does not work, let me know.

[Android Software Development] madmack:
Send a bug report via the app's settings menu and I'll see what can be done :)

The real issue with this tablet is the Intel based x86 architecture in it. If you have a way to revert to stock (using Odin) in case of a bootloop, then I might be able to provide few apks for you to test and let me know whether it works.

[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
I realized today what you meant.

Android and Android_secure are different files I apologize. Which as you said meant I needed to transfer the app data, obb to a different location to be seen in both roms.

I have narrowed down that issue. FolderMount is not detecting OBB data accurate at all on CM Kit Kat Rom that I am using.

I will give a link to the CM Rom that FolderMount is having issues with.

Link to CM Kit Kat Rom FolderMount is not detecting OBB on:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557573

[ROM][SM-T31x][JB/KK][4.3.1/4.4.2] CyanogenMod unofficial builds

The automatic app analyzer does not detect OBB at all and manualy looking for the OBB files of apps I see there is data saved but folder is empty.

The app analyzer is the issue. Manualy and auto.

Sending bug report.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'm not supporting any KK unofficial kernels at the moment. Can't fix every dev's bugs. If CM gets official status and the bug is still there, let me know and I'll fix it upstream like I did for a few CM devices out there.

FWIW, I see a 100% CPU spike when FolderMount is removing content from the Gallery. But for me it only lasts about 20-30 seconds. Someone with tons and tons of photos may experience this for a much longer time (but not know what's going on if they miss the notification about what FolderMount is doing).
[Android Software Development] madmack:
So, had some extra time this evening. Decided to load up the latest GE stock ROM on my S4 (ML4), rooted and all and sure enough, FM isn't working !!!! The issue? The SELINUX policies on the TW variants (which FM is applying here) aren't compatible with AOSP policies. I fixed it to treat the GE ROM as if it is another AOSP ROM (which it really sort of is.. sort of) and it worked. Please try the attached apk and let me know if it works with your favorite GE ROM. Just make sure you use a stock kernel. Can't be supporting all variants out there. Let me know what happens. It works for me here but it's always good to hear confirmation.

Attached is the apk that fixes the Tab 3 as well. FM will ask you to patch, click yes, reboot and voila. Magic.
[Android Software Development] MattyDip:
On my phone nothing changed. I tried also to reboot but it doesn't see the obb folder but I'm on Alucard kernel and I don't know how to test a stock kernel on Jamals rom which comes with a custom kernel.

[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
I tried new version still no luck.

I keep hearing you say you don't support unofficial Kernals with FolderMount.

So would you say the Kernal is the reason for not seeing OBB in FolderMount?

or is it because of the lack versatility of FolderMount with other Kernals?

You say you won't support unofficial Kernals well then what step next should those individuals take?

Should we request the creator of the Kernal to look into a fix?

Some direction would be great, instead of just I don't support other Kernals. Maybe an example or explanation on what could be changed in those Kernals not working to fix the issue. Would be the decent thing to do as we are all trying to work with you.

Me and you worked together on an issue with FolderMount on the S4 and got it working together. Seems like support has gone down.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'm not dropping "unofficial kk kernel" support out of thin air. If you've read the last few pages of this thread, you'd see that I've actually explicitly mentioned the reason why most these KK kernels don't work. Eventually, I had to drop support. Here is the precise last post regarding this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49217976&postcount=2541

Once official ROMs are out (either CM or officially by Samsung/Acer/LG etc), then these issues will be ironed out as most devs will actually be using a solid base instead of the messy current state that we have here where half their ramfs is JB and the other is KK based.

Yet another post for unofficial buggy KK kernels. sigh. Besides, what support has gone down ? FM keeps adding to the list of supported devices practically with every release. You're obviously very free to try the other alternatives in the play store if you don't like it.
[Android Software Development] Safar_Ibrahim:
With the new release of KK 4.4.2 on Note 3 , official Rom of course, FM was fixed within 24hr. Tested myself as beta tester.

[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
I never asked for you to fix it. I asked for a direction on what can be done considering you don't want to do it. Now I know the Kernal needs to be adjusted based on your link to work.

And the comment about using an alternative in the Play Store tells me a lot, sigh and this and that. Bottom line is I was trying to figure out why it isn't working.

This is what's wrong with the community people ***** when others need help. If we didn't all work together there would be no XDA community or development people need to lighten up as it can be time consuming to read every single post in a community and one might miss something were only human. Repeat question will arise accept it.
