I installed 2.9.4b, applied the patch then updated the app to 2.9.9 now it's working perfect ?
[Android Software Development] PeterLustig61:
Tada... that did the trick. Installed 2.9.4b first. Started, the changes were applied successfully, rebooted, deinstalled 2.9.4b, installed 2.9.9 from playstore. Works like a charm now.
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
I cannot understand, but it works with one issue: The external sd Card, cannot be seen and accessed on a window PC

can someone, who did this workaround, confirm???

[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION]

Is this reproducable for you?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Don't know. Don't use windows :rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
My question was not because of windows, I solve this with MyPhoneExplorer per WLan,

2.9.9 the patch doesnt work on a plain system

to install 2.9.4 the patch works and I can upgrade to 2.9.9 and it still works.

There must be an difference in the two patch versions!!

I understand: 2.9.4 gets Write permission to ext sdcard and 2.9.9 not!

2.9.4 works and 2.9.9 not.

Maybe that could help you finding a version working directly on Note 4 N910F
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I diffed the two versions and the part where the Samsung patch is applied is literally unchanged. Very tough to debug that one without it actually happening to me.
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION]

Thanks, I apppreciate your work and your readiness to solve our problems on the Note 4.

But there must be a bigger difference between the two versiosns.

I always start with plain system ( Newest StockRom 6..01 rooted with SU pro 2.74)

1. version 2.9.4 the patch is done, --> no error message, on the phone everything is working as it should. Bug: the ext sdcard cannot be directly accesed from PC (win 10).

2. Now I flash 2.9.9 over the installed version, I ignore the the message, that something had to be done on the phone. everything is like verion 2.9.4 only the versionNr is 2.9.9

if try to do the patch, the known error message: Something wrong, contact developer.

When I deinstall the version completly, the bug with ext sdcard will stay until I reflash StockRom again,

means the deinstallation doesnt't deinstall the patch complete.

3. 2.9.9 installed on a plain system

The patch can not be done. I can bind folders, it looks like binded, but it doesn't work

After restart the message that everything is binded witout faults, but nothing works.

The ext sdcard can always be accessed from PC.

So I live with the workaround 2.9.4 and then over it 2.9.9 (bug with access to the ext sdcard)

I access the ext sdcard with MyPhoneExplorerClient on the phone and MyPhoneExplorer on PC per WirelessLAN

I would prefer working with FM only, but I it works in this way.

Maybe madmack will do a TRWP installable and it works as it should
[Android Software Development] madmack:
If you patch with 2.9.4 and it's successful, 2.9.9 shouldn't even prompt you.
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
but it does and I ignore, because it doesn't work
[Android Software Development] madmack:
does it say two modules need to be patched? Can you send a bug report from 2.9.9?
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
yes two modulesView attachment 3780204

after abort it doesn't come any more till I reboot

CORRECTION:

Now plain rooted StockRom. 2.9.4 only patch no binds Then installed 2.9.9 no question for patching. Binding pairs everything worked like it should without access from PC on sdcard
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'm not able to replicate this. I have a patched system, 2.9.9 running, and no dialog to ask me to patch on launch.
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
The way it is 2.9.4 patch works.

2.9.9 doesn't

I can't explain, but thats the truth. The problem is on both my Note 4.

I use one Note 4 only for experimenting.

The truth is, 2.9.9 changes nothing installed after 2.9.4

Installing 2.9.9 on a plain rooted system, the patch can't be installed.

[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION]

Maybe this tells you more

Thanks
[Android Software Development] madmack:
pretty useful indeed. thanks for these. The issue seems to be toybox's mount command. If is segfaulting while toolbox's isn't. I'm quite sure that it is the culprit actually.

How old is this ROM? Can you see if the latest samfirmware ROMs for your device have the same issue? I think these problems are temporary until samsung figures out their move from the deprecated toolbox to toybox which google did when they moved to Android M.
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
The StockRom is brandnew in the DBT version. It is really the newest on market. I tried several 6.01 Stock ROMS, all time the same problem.

It is the newest in samfirmware section

The only difference I noticed is 2.9.4 --> mount toolbox and 2.9.9 mount toybox

By the way, I use for all tests always the same ROM for 2.9.4 an for 2.9.9. that's why I think there must be differences between the two versions.

but you already mentioned
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Thank you. Your logs were actually quite useful indeed ! Try the attached apk, it should hopefully resolve the issue.

FM will now see whether the toybox tool will segfault or not on sammy M roms, if it does, it'll switch to toolbox.

Works with Note 4 Android 6.01

Hello,

thank you very much for updating! :) Version 2.0.10b works with my Note 4 with rooted MM 6.01. I had the same issue that ended with "ask the developer". Now I'm able to work with this very usefull app like under Lollipop.
[Android Software Development] hurray:
Thank you very much! the new version "FolderMount-v2.9.10b.apk" works pretty good on my Samsung Galaxy TabS2 under Android 6.01. :)

Now it installs correct the vold- and sdcard-patch and I am able to mount a few folders from the external sdcard.

I see only one issue: If I connect now the tablet to my notebook I only see the internal sdcard via MTP and not the external anymore.

Is there something I can provide to look further to this?
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
Thanks for the update

[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION]

I tested the version 2.9.10b now very carefully. I found one issue: There's no binding possible if there is a space between the foldername.

e.g. foldername SPB Wallet doesn't work

foldername SPB_Wallet works

That is for me a "mini minor" problem.

Thanks to madmack for his work and his understanding and accepting our problems and tests.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

That issue is provided with the version 2.9.4b

To solve this I flashed the ROM again and rooted new. That worked without dataloss, but I can access to the extsd from PC(notebook) again.

CORRECTION:

This worked on installing on a a plein system. After a few restarts, the ext sdcard cannot be accessed by PC or notebook. I don't know, when and why it happened.

I also have this issue with 2.9.10b. It works correctly with mounting folders. But on my PC I just see the internal SD, not my external one (Note 4, 910F).
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
That's true. Hopefully this issue will be solved.

Meanwhile I use MyPhoneexplorer on my PC and MyPhoneExplorerClient on my Note 4. ( both free apps)

With this tools I can access my ext sdcard from PC like with windows Explorer.

You can do it with USB cable, Wlan or Bluetooth.

I think with this workaround you can live

[Android Software Development] Sillik:
Hello,

I have a Galaxy Note 4 and the app from the play store wasn't working after upgrading to Marshmallow. The patching at the start of the app was causing an error.

I tried the v2.9.10b from this thread and the patching/changing of /system/bin/sdcard and /system/bin/vold worked, but after a reboot, all my app which were moved to SD (from Android settings) are now missing. I tried restoring the backup version of both files and changed the permission as they should, but in this cas I get a message saying that SD is corrupt and should be formated.

So I'm back on FolderMount version of the files, because I can still access the SD even if some apps are missing.

But is there a way to get those apps back? I also tried to move an app that is still there to SD, and it tells me that there is not enough space. So clearly the access to the SD is not as it should for Android.

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] Sillik:
So, does anyone know how to properly restore the backed up versions of /system/bin/sdcard and /system/bin/vold ?

Does reflashing the rom set those back to stock?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Yes... or delete the new ones, rename the old ones back to their original names (they're in the same directory), and give them proper permissions (see other folks in that directory for the proper permissions).

Sent from: SGS5 - MM 6.0.1 / SGS4 - LP 5.0.1
[Android Software Development] Sillik:
I tried that but after a restart it told me my SD was corrupted and needed to be formatted. So I put back the files from FM and my SD is there again.

But I can't move apps to SD so I want to go back to stock...

I guess I'll just make a backup of the SD and format it then.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Sillik:
I confirm I also have the issue on Note 4 910F.

I also cannot move apps storage to SD from the apps settings, and all apps which were moved before disappeared.

Anyone know how to make it work for CM13?

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Just had a quick read through, I'm guessing the reason it doesn't work is because I'm using PrivacyGuard root?

Ok, just installed SuperSU and set it as root manager. Let's see if this fixes it :)

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Indeed. Fixed by switching to SuperSU :) Thanks
[Android Software Development] Sillik:
OK, I ended up re-flashing the complete rom because trying to manually mess with the backup files didn't work and in the end my phone didn't even booted anymore.

So I'm not going to apply that patch/fixing from FolderMount anymore, as it caused many issues on my phone.

BUT, I still can create pairs, and it works, without applying that fixing! I just hit cancel in the popup when starting the app then use it as normal and it works!

So I don't know why that patching/fixing is necessary...
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
I don't believe, that it works correctly.

Sure there is no error message and it looks that all pairs are binded.

But in reality it doesn't work, because system cannot write on binded directory on the external sdcard.

You definitly need the patch.

If it really works, let me please know, how you proofed it

Thanks
[Android Software Development] madmack:
It just looks like it works. Folders are reported as bound but they really are not. The culprit is the custom Samsung fuse module which has to be replaced.

You should be able to revert the two patched files without an issue. I would try that to solve your issues with some of the apps that are on the sd prior to applying the patch. You probably have the permissions and/or ownership on these two files wrong after reverting back and therefore couldn't boot up. I do know that FM doesn't touch the /system partition in Sammy devices except for these two files.

I just released v2.9.11 to the play store. Change log in the OP. Nothing new here, same as 2.9.10b.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Are we going to forever have to choose between moving apps to the sdcard and using this app?

Perhaps a warning to Marshmallow users should be added to the effect of: "After applying the patch, you will no longer be able to move apps to the sdcard nor will any currently moved apps be accessible. You should move any apps off the sdcard prior to applying the patch."

Sent from: SGS5 - MM 6.0.1 / SGS4 - LP 5.0.1
[Android Software Development] Sillik:
You are right it is not working now.

But for some reason it did work previously with Hearthstone.

For the restoring of the backup, I did change the permissions as they should, but I didn't check ownership of the file. An option to do it from within the app would be highly appreciated!

About this impossibility to move apps to SD, (that and not seeing the SD from computers), do you have plans to try to overcome these issues in the future?

Because it is a big drawback in my opinion.

Thanks anyway.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I am afraid it's impossible and would be a real waste of my time to try and reverse engineer what Samsung did. Samsung decided to do their own proprietary close-sourced implementation to move to sd and for the MTP protocol which is the USB connection to your computer. It'll always be either FM or Samsung's binaries.
[Android Software Development] Sillik:
OK, thanks for the clear answer.

[Android Software Development] Styrke:
After I let FM repair the files, I can no longer access the apps which are in the external sdcard. Also when I try to move/export some app from internal to external it says Not enough storage space. The only way to fix this is reinstalling my ROM.

My device is Note4 n910c on erobot v5 (6.0.1)
[Android Software Development] egingell:
This is old news. If you want to use this app, you're going to have to sacrifice the moving of apps to the sdcard. Restore the /system/vold and /system/sdcard backups, reboot, and move those apps back to the internal storage, then let FM do its thing.

Hi guys, I purchased this app to use on my dual boot Chuwi Hi8 Pro (Android 5.1 & Windows 10) but I can't get it to work. I've used the app previously so know how it works but when I try to set up a folder mount all I get is a message saying 'Create Folder Failed Permission Problem'. I've rooted my tablet and have TWRP 3 installed and I've also manually edited the platform.xml file in the Permissions folder but cannot get it to work. Any ideas guys? It never asked me to fix SD card access or anything and I've tried the SD Card fix app on Google Play.

I can create directories on the SD card fine using ES File Explorer and Root Explorer

for all of you that have problems with the app I suggest you should contact the developer. I did so when I had problems with my Archos gamepad 2 tablet and he soon made me a patch for my device.

it'll automatically transfer the new files. Once the pin is green, the folders are "bound" until you either take out your sdcard, reboot, or unpin them.
