Thanks for the quick bug reporting. Here is a quick response: V2.8.1 is out in the play store and OP and should take care of that problem for all KK devices.
[Android Software Development] lucasho2312:
My phone was bricked. I have a similar message like above but it mentioned sdcardfs instead. I went ahead and patched it and phone is stuck in bootloop. Is there an undo patch ? I'm on 5.1.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I need to know the exact message you got so that I can know what you patched. FM does different patches to different devices under different versions of the OS. Being on 5.1 tells me little unfortunately. Please let me know what device you are using as well.
[Android Software Development] lucasho2312:
I'm trying to recall the message. Because my phone is already in bootloop, I can't go back and check it. What I do remember is it mentioned incompatible filesystem sdcardfs. And something about "to revert, just delete blah blah blah". My phone is Huawei Ascend Mate 2, which I believe is unpopular. Everything is fine until the next reboot.
[Android Software Development] nibb-1:
That was fast, Many Thanks and of course Many Thanks for making this great app :)
[Android Software Development] madmack:
If you are able to access recovery on your device. All you have to do is figure out a way to delete /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh and reboot. It shouldn't be so hard if you have TWRP or CWM or the likes.

I have a samsung s4 on lollipop. Installing folder mount, I remember it had to install two patches... I deleted the ds card patch... What might be the other patch?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

Found it. I did a modified date search.

Platform.xml under system/etc/permissions

I suggest the developer create a list of modifications done to the system.
[Android Software Development] Shanghai.Knight:
Well, I don't recommend doing what I just did, deleting the modified files and replacing them with the original .backup files.

My system became unusable after a reboot. No access to sd card and no access to internet. Unrecoverable. 1 hour of trying to replace these files with originals, and back and forth, rebooting each time... Nothing worked. Factory wiped phone and am starting over...
[Android Software Development] egingell:
My guess is that you didn't fix (chmod) the files' permissions.

Sent from: SGS2 - JB 4.1.2 GB27 / SGS4 - JB 4.2.2 MF9
[Android Software Development] madmack:
my thoughts exactly. You need to make sure you get the correct permissions before rebooting.
[Android Software Development] Shanghai.Knight:
Of course I set the permissions. Ha ha... um... ah.... yeah. I didn't set the permissions.

Looking at these files on two different android devices, I get different permissions on those files...

One android devices has

RWXRWXRWX for SDCard

RW-R--R-- for Platform

The other has

RWXR-XR-X for SDCARD

RW-R--R-- for Platform

I assume the second set is correct? Not sure why my second ROM has W also for SDCARD, although that one is Lollipop...

How this app works?
[Android Software Development] Bartekreaper:
Maybe you cant read 1st post or FAQ ? >>>

FolderMount is an Android app that links (aka binds, mounts) folders in the internal sdcard of your phone to the external sdcard. It is the only folder binding application that works on all Android versions from Gingerbread (2.3) to the latest Lollipop (5.0).

Most games, offline navigation and camera apps in Android don't offer to store their data in the external sdcard in the settings, therefore starving the internal sdcard storage of free memory. Users usually have no alternative but to uninstall some of these apps/games to free some space just to allow others to run. FolderMount is an app for root users that allow users to alleviate the problem by linking folders to the external (removable) storage space which is usually much larger and can accommodate multiple games and apps' data simultaneously.

[Android Software Development] MJiindal:
Hello can someone please help me link WhatsApp Messenger. Thanks
[Android Software Development] gladson1976:
I just link the WhatsApp folder in internal memory to the WhatsApp folder that I created in sd card. Thats it
[Android Software Development] MJiindal:
Mate I am still unable to understand how to achieve this. When I try to select the main WhatsApp folder from internal memory, instead of getting selected it shows me its subfolders/directories so unable to pair. Can you please guide on this. Thanks
[Android Software Development] gladson1976:
When you are inside the WhatsApp folder, click on the tick mark on the right top corner to select the WhatsApp folder.
[Android Software Development] MJiindal:
That did the trick. Thank you so very much. One more thing I did like to know - I unknowingly played with the slider twice while mounting process was in progress.. Hope that isn't of any problem.
[Android Software Development] gladson1976:
That shouldn't be a problem

The notification of Folder mount is barely visible. Is this a known bug? Can't even read the "Moving files" without ramping up the brightness. :/
[Android Software Development] jwds1978:
I've been using FolderMount for some time now and haven't ever really had any issue with it.

However, recently, I've noticed that it's no longer removing duplicates from the gallery. The removing content from gallery notification now displays and disappears after only a matter of seconds; duplicates still in the gallery.

This notification, when it was properly removing duplicates, would be visible for a few minutes while it did its thing. Has something changed in recent versions that could be causing this?

Hi,

really a nice app, but i have a problem with whatsapp with my wife xperia L, i have mounted /"emulatedSD"/WhatsApp/Media on /"RealSD"/Media, i have moved manually all folders/files to the new location (with ES File Explorer) and WhatsApp find all old Media without problems, but if my wife receives a new file, like a video or a photo, WhatsApp download it but then don't write it on Media folder, so when she try to see it, WhatsApp tell her that the file isn't in her sd card.

On foldermount the PIN is green, and don't give any error.

Any idea?

On Xperia L (taoshan) there is the latest nightly of CM12 (the partition table is altered to lower the emulated sd card size)
[Android Software Development] madmack:
try mounting the Whatsapp folder and not the Media subfolder. I had this issue once and it seems whatsapp somehow doesn't like its data to be across different partitions so just have it all be in the external sd instead.

Having some issues as of late with all games that I linked to my external SD. If I get an update for a game that is mounted the update procedure hangs trying to download the files and I'm forced to restart the phone. I have to unlink, delete the content for that game that was moved to external SD card, download update, relink and move the new contents again. I think it used to update without issues before directly to the external SD.

Hi, s very good app! But have a problem with verification of premium after purchase. I bought the app in September 2014 and worked fine.

Play Store: Data and Cache cleared

App : uninstall and reinstall

if I want to buy them again is the error in the Play Store: 1003: purchase signature verification failed

Sorry my englisch :(
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Just make sure that you download the app from the play store and that you don't have any third party software that interferes with the app's connection to the play store.

if all else fails, you might want to factory reset just to erase all these interfering apps and download FolderMount before you do any other app and see if Premium status is active.
[Android Software Development] Thopi1:
Thanks alot!

That was the mistake. Premium status is displayed again, :), and works perfectly.

FolderMount to store Zinio magazines on external SD?

Has anyone succeeded in using FolderMount Pro (with root, of course) to store Zinio magazines on external SD?

I've tried, and I see some folders being created on the external SD card that I /think/ are made by FolderMount, but it seems that at the same time Zinio keeps using the on-board storage too so it's basically of no help to me :(

I have a chinese tablet (Teclast P98 3G) with only 16GB onboard storage (which again stupidly is divided into internal/external storage) but it has a micro SD slot where I have a 64GB Samsung card.

I have tried to please my wife by converting my printed magazine subscriptions into digital ones, but I hate that I have to delete magazines in order to free up space.

Zinio apparently refuses to accept external SD as a possible storage (like Spotify does without any problems) but I had a slight hope that FolderMount could fix this for me...
[Android Software Development] M7mdA7md7sein:
Could you fix it ? I am stuck in the same problem with the pro version + Lollipop rom !!

Thanks :))
[Android Software Development] Ban Dan:
Many Thanks for FolderMount!

Works great, and the extra "Move files" and "Apps analyzer" make it really convenient.

Would be helpful if the Move would keep the original file dates.

Sometimes, at least temporarily, a Copy might be better than a Move.

Could you please also add analyzing of /data/data/ where much data is internally kept?

Actually on my older Samsung Ⓨ s5360 (Android 2.3.6) the /mnt/sdcard (/Android/data) is on the external SD card and doesn't need analysis, and /data/data/ is the place to search.

Maybe looking at the (relative?) sizes of partitions can help guess which is internal?

After confirming with the user, the App can save the paths to be analyzed for the future.

Thank you again!

Folder Mount fails on echoe rom v10 (5.1.1)

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

Foldermount fails on echoe v10

I. did an update from kitkat 4.4.4 to echoe rom (lollipop 5.1.1) today. All went smooth. Unfortunately folder mount doesn't successfully pair the directories anymore. Moving the data to external sd works. The pairs show up as green. But the actual mount did not take place. Source directory is empty (target directory has all data but is not mounted over source). Anyone a clue?

Oh its a Galaxy Note 4 (N910F).

All hints are appreciated.

Greetings

Peter
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Sorry guys for the late response. It's busy for me nowadays.

No idea. Best way is to send a force close report once you get that crash dialog. I'll have a look when I get sometime to see where exactly is the apps' analyzer crashing.

Most likely a kernel filesystem implementation error. Can't say without having the device/setup with me or a proper bug report. In any case, I am not really supporting custom kernels anymore as they really tend to require a lot of work from my part to fit foldermount for their personal, unreported and often unconventional implementations.
[Android Software Development] Neoistheone2000:

I am unable to use my phone !

If you flashed the firmware and it's still does it (or doesn't do it), then the problem was not the patch. The patch is put in the /system which you restored when you flashed the firmware.

[Android Software Development] AlAneed:
Having the same issue with all 5.1.1 ROMs based on Samsung on my Note 4 N910C. I managed to show target directory on the source using Myfiles but other apps can't recognize it (e.g. WhatsApp).

What I did is I chose another source directory rather than the default one.

Source for WhatsApp folder : /mnt/shell/emulated/0/WhatsApp The default directory /storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp

The destination directory keep it the default.

Again, WhatsApp still can't recognize the folder but "My Files" app recoginzes the folder.

Anyone figured a way out?
[Android Software Development] JudasD:
I am also having this same issue on stock 5.1.1 Samsung Note 4. Foldermount will mount /data/media/"folder". I confirmed that the mounts are happening but the apps appear to not work with that path. Most apps appear to use /mnt/shell/emulated/0/"folder" instead.

[Android Software Development] rawintellect:
As others have noted it simply does not work for 5.1.1. I'm also running a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and when I upgraded to 5.1.1 and reinstalled foldermount it did NOT ask to patch my system/bin/sdcard file. I suspect this is the issue because as others have noted I too can mount the folders in /storage/emulated/0/obb and it seems to work. It even asks me to move the files which I do! Then when I try to play the game it asks to redownload the files. I looked and made sure the folder was mounted and when I manually went to look at the folder nothing was there in the source directory. there IS data in the target directory and I CAN move it back and the game will work just fine. But the mount point just does NOT seem to be working even though it says it's mounted.

I did the test procedure in FAQ: I only got to step 4. Nothing I created in /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/Test was carried over to /storage/extSdCard/Android/obb/Test2
[Android Software Development] madmack:
The fact that it did not ask you for a patch is the issue. I'm working on it now. Flashing my Note 4 with 5.1.1 as we speak.

You can try to manually create a folder pair and navigate to that /data folder as source but FolderMount isn't created to move data in that partition. There is a big disclaimer once you attempt that. Please read it.

I've just installed your app (I'm planning on buy it as soon as possible) but I'm having an issue with WhatsApp.

I've moved the folder to the external SD but it seems that FolderMount actually copied the folder to the external app instead of moving it.

I'm running LP 5.1.1 on a Sony Xperia Z3 with a 128gb external SD.

I can provide all the information needed to solve this.

Thanks in advance mate ?
