Still a Problem with new Beta Version 2.9.4b

I still I have the problem, that after installing FM I can't see my sd card on the computer.

With the internal file exolorer I can see it and work with it..

After deinstall FM, there is still the problem, I can't see the sd card.

Then I do a factory reset, I still can't see the sd card on PC.

After installing The stock ROM 6.01 with ODIN I can see sd card with all data again. No data lost

For me it is important, to access the sd card from the PC, like it worked with FM on 5.1.1.

I am sure madmack will find a solution. Thanks

Aparently the new version works in Galaxy Note 4 International (version F) whit Alexndr based stock ROM v3.5 (Android 6.0.1)

I updated from v2.9.3b

Tested whit complete Zen Pinball game and works perfectly.

Sorry for my english

Galaxy Note 4 Sprint (SM-N910P N910PVPS4DPD1 Android 6.0.1 stock) worked and mounting perfectly.

But have one surprise.

After FM patching system files some apps have no install.

Before FM system patch:

After FM system patch:

After reflash via Odin stock ROM to revert FM system patch - apps can install again.

Tested v2.9.3b and v2.9.4b - same problem.

Here links to apks to test:

I use the F version too but with normal Samsung ROM.

Can you access your SD Card from PC????
[Android Software Development] Katu Beltza:
Yes, but I use Debian Testing Linux whit KDE Desktop, using Dolphin File Manager. I don't know about Windows file explorer.

Normally I use KDE Connect app for everything between PC and smatrphone.
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
Thanks, but I don't believe it's a windows problem
[Android Software Development] madmack:
awesome feedback guys. Here is v2.9.5b which fixes the persistence of the external storage access rights. I think we are finally close to a play store release.

Edit: nvm. Seems it's still there. Will look into it later.

Hi [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION],

I'm still unable to get it working on Resurrection Remix 5.6.9 (Android 6.0.1) on Sprint Galaxy Note 4. The SuperSU log displays the following error

mount: no such tool found

I also tried installing Busybox using JRummy's app from the Play Store, but the error persists.

Please let me know if there's any other logs I could get that may help!

EDIT: Added screenshots of SuperSU logs.
[Android Software Development] tchibeck:
It seemes to have desappeared ^^

Anyway, when you say "it's closed to a play store release", do you include our s7 and s7 Edge family ?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
I'm sure he deleted it. And "Play Store release" means exactly what it sounds like, but it doesn't matter because he retracted.

[Android Software Development] tchibeck:
Sorry to insist, but i've been advised so many time by developpers, that s7 family was such a mess that they'd see that later... or never.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
That's probably your answer then.

[Android Software Development] ddogishere:
Would this work in a rooted lg g5 and would have to format my internal storage?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I did retract; fixed it only to unfix it right before release somehow. It's what happens when you're in a rush :| In any case, here is v2.9.7b which fixes the SAF-losing-settings bug after reboot. It should persist now.

Yes this is close to play store release. Not sure why someone mentions the S7 support? These beta releases are tested as working on my S7 edge for a couple of weeks now. Yes, including the exFAT support ! Only major issue that I simply can't work around without major reverse engineering is that if you have encryption enabled, you'll need to factory reset your device after my patch. Look at the bright side, TWRP will see your /data partition !
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Are you serious? Samsung can't be consistent even with their own devices ! Is this ROM based on anything official? Can you please flash that official ROM and see whether you get that "mount not found" error message as well? Installing or uninstall busybox won't help here. Download v2.9.7b above. It should fix it.
[Android Software Development] tchibeck:
As soon as I get enough energy, I'll re-root my S7 Edge and try :)

More problems than before

The FM 2.9.4 looked pretty good working for me on the phone, the issue was not to see sd card from Computer.

With the new 2.9.7 I have, after renwing the Stock ROM 6.01 for N910F, my sd card working witz the PC.

But I can't install FM again, there is the old fault again,

Sorry there was a fault, contact your developer.

I have a second Note 4 I will try with total plain Chainfire SU rooted Stock ROM
[Android Software Development] Chaleman:
Hi guys.. happy to report that 2.9.4b is working on my S7. Now i will flash 2.9.7b... I'm on Superman rom 1.6.5 and nothing was lost when installing and rebooting! Thanks [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION]

Edit: Also working on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 with Android 6.0.1
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Perfect guys ! looks like we have a play store release :) thanks for all the feedback.

I haven't changed anything regarding spaces in names. From my experience, it works in some roms and doesn't in others. Always been the case.
[Android Software Development] Danilo-Sanchez:
[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] I've bought Foldermount and I'm using it for a long time with Lollipop. One of the things that prevented me from upgrading to M was that Foldermount wasn't compatible with it.

Now that you've said that it will be updated in play store, I want to know what are the requirements to use Foldermount in Marshmallow. Probably I'll use CM13. Do I need to install SuperSU or can I use the CM's built in root?
[Android Software Development] ahac85:
It mounts fine but doesnt show as mounted in the app, and because it shown in the app as unmounted you cant unmount the folders
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I haven't tested FM with default root application. It actually shouldn't work without turning off SELinux. Something that is not legal in the play store so I won't so that. FM will probably pop-up a message letting you know that you need SUPERSU. Nothing else is a requirement afaik.
[Android Software Development] Danilo-Sanchez:
So, with SuperSU I don't need to turn off SELinux?
[Android Software Development] BradleyR2010:
Did anyone test the beta on an NVidia Shield Tablet?, I havent upgraded to M because of this
[Android Software Development] Meneldur:
I will need to keep on waiting, then. I don't want to lose SELinux protection. [emoji17]

It is working flawlessly for me until now... no problems that I've been able to find on my S7 or my Tab S2, both running 6.0.1...

[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
Thanks, on my both Note 4 n910f with Stock ROM 6.01 rooted with SU 2.74 it is not working.

When the patch will be done, there is a fault on Installation, recommending I should contact the developer.

I#m nosy what the play store version will do
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Or use SuperSU. SELinux remains enforced with it.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Any bootloop after rebooting?
[Android Software Development] dejson:
Just info. It is working excellent on Moto G 2104 6.0.1. Turbo ROM
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
No, no bootloops. It's looking fine, It shows up: All binded, no errors, but doesn;t work.

Opening FM it tells there are two files which must be corrected, if I want to Try after yes there is the error with the recommendation to inform the developer.

I made newest Stockrom 6.01 with Smartswitch rescue Program (Serial and Type needed) to have a plain Device. After that rooting wizh SuperSU Pro 2.74. Developer mode with USB debuggung, allow unknown apps, busybox Pro and TWRM over ODin. Then I install FM 2.9.7b. with the above written issue

In the moment I have tried with first 2.9.4 . After 2.9.4. I can't see sdcard on PC anymore. So after that 2.9.7 over it . Same problem, then written first. No sd card to see on PC. latest Firmware with ODIn, rooted again.

sd card can be accessed from PC again, without the binded folders. But the transferes don't work. shown as binded with no error reported. Opening FM the Patch with the two files can't be done.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong

P:S. It's easy to check for me with plain device, because the second Note 4 is not used in the moment only for tests
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I don't think you're doing anything wrong per se. What's happening is that FM wasn't able to overwrite these files in your /system partition. Either they're being used and their corresponding service couldn't be stopped or your /system is simply not writable due to a problem in your particular setup. I might have to create a TWRP flashable file just for these instances. At least give users an option to patch using TWRP.
[Android Software Development] mobydick1950:
That would be very nice a script for terminal emulator or a TWRP File

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Meneldur:
I have no SuperSU since it had problems with CM13. I didn't do any research in the matter lately. Is it fully functional again?

[Android Software Development] KITT1995:
Installed FM 2.9.7b but it doesn't seems to work on my lg g5.

At first run it doesn't appear the popup of two files that needs correction. It directly prompts me to select the root of sd card.

If I try to bind a folder, the switch goes on, but it doesn't seems to do anything (tried with es file explorer and stock file manager).

How can I solve?
[Android Software Development] PieceKeepr:
This may seem like a dumb question but how do you know it's not doing anything? If it worked you should see your files in both folders, if it didn't you'll only see them in one.
[Android Software Development] KITT1995:
That's exactly what I did with file managers. Files appears only in one folder like there is no bind
[Android Software Development] madmack:
The patch offered by FM is only for Samsung devices so you shouldn't need it. FM works fine with AOSP based devices such as nexus, HTC 10, and all CM13 devices.

Send me a bug report from the app. I wanna have a closer look.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Looks like it's mounted/binded. Make sure "namespace separation" is disabled in SuperSU/Settings.

Sent from: SGS5 - LP 5.1.1 / SGS4 - LP 5.0.1
[Android Software Development] KITT1995:
Tried with namespace separation disabled but doesn't work
[Android Software Development] madmack:
It won't work indeed. His issue is the fuse modules being used.

The only way for me to fix this is by remotely accessing your device to see how exactly is LG implementing this and if there is a way to disable it. We can try to make that happen if you want. send me a pm if so.

[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] hi I've installed this app on my moto e2 3g running CM13 and its rooted. I have tried the folder mount and i am getting errors in sequential order as in tge screenshots. Please help me how to use ut. The last error i got is *"please contact the developer"* so I'm writing it here. Please help me use the app. My internal storage is running out of space. I'm badly in need of this app......

[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] Yeah i tried using supersu but when it updated the SU binary through twrp by itself and rebooted, there was a boot loop, then i had to flash the ROM again. So I'm not going to use SuperSU again. But why do i need SuperSU when i have CyanogenMod providing root access to the app? Please suggest alternative method......thank you and awaiting your reply....

EDIT: I have installed the beta version and i have granted root access and explict root acces to sd card. But when i turned on the switch in list of pairs, its getting turned off by itself......pls help me solve problem....

I tried 2.9.7b on my Oneplus One using CM13. I started with a clean install of FM! I do not have an external SD! But I am stuck in this dialog:

The only thing I can do is to select internal sd but after this, dialog opens again. I am stuck in this dialog!

Can you help me?

Tnx,

[Android Software Development] sai srinivas kop:
I would likebto request [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] one thing. Most people who need folder mount will be the people who use custom ROMs because they dont have ability to save things to sd card. But in stock ROM company probably give option to save things on sd card. But problem is that on custom ROMs SuperSU cannot be used, especially CyanogenMod because its not supported and phone gets struck in bootloop if try to use SuperSU.......

So my request is to make the app work without SuperSU. Root permission will be given by custom ROM settings like in CM but please try to make app work without SuperSU......
[Android Software Development] madmack:
out of the question and technically impossible. Besides, I used SuperSU with CM13 and so did many others without a problem. You'll need to research a little on how to do it. It can be done.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
That's a bug with FM. At the moment, FM won't allow you to use it in M ROMs without an sdcard. May I ask how you're intending to use FM? I might provide an override for that functionality so you can bypass that dialog.
[Android Software Development] trogggy:
Firstly... last beta is working great for me on a wileyfox swift (CM13Temasek) and my wife's Moto E 2015 (CM13) - which is great, storage problems gone again!

I have a feature request - no idea whether it's possible and / or straightforward, so I'll just stick it here for consideration.

If I unpin a pair in foldermount it works fine, but on a re-start the pair is pinned again. Would it be possible to have pairs stored but not pinned?

Usage case example: I have kodi on various devices; I have a profile I use at home (mysql), another for the car (picking up music and video from a raspberry pi over wifi - music for the stereo, vids for kids), another standalone (local library). If the 'pair state' (ie enabled or not) was persistent between restarts I could set up a pair for each profile and just enable the required one. As opposed to deleting the existing pair and making a new one each time I want to switch.

Not essential, no urgency, just an idea etc...
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Do you mean selectively (ie some pairs pin while others don't) or none pin on boot? The latter is already an option in FM's settings.

Sent from: SGS5 - LP 5.1.1 / SGS4 - LP 5.0.1
[Android Software Development] trogggy:
Selectively - so I can have pairs set up ready but only enabled when needed (ie when I want to use different data). Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Basically that FM remembers what was pinned last time, and restores only those pins.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
I don't know if [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] is willing, but it's certainly doable.

[Android Software Development] enkidu70:
The reason is quite simple: e.g. I use it for having all my pictures in one place so that I easily can sync it with my dropbox.

/sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots -> /sdcard/dropbix/images/Screenshots

/sdcard/DCIM/Camera -> /sdcard/dropbox/images/Camera

...

So I have one main directory where all photos dirs are mounted to.

Please enable mount from anywhere to anywhere. Maybe by setting something like an advanced user flag in settings (and pro only :) )

Tnx in advance,

You should have no problem doing that right now with FM as it is. Just hit the menu, then "/ path" whenever you're selecting a folder. That will drop you into the root directory.

[Android Software Development] hurray:
Version 2.97b works at my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (on a 6.01 ROM, debloated, deknoxed and deodexed).

But the modified vold and other files seems to have an impact on some previously installed apps: after the next reboot they are no more usable and shown gray in the app-list with "0,00 Byte". Also a new install is not possible and Titanium Backup can't restore them either.

One of the apps are "Antutu Tester". I don't know what is different but it must have be to do with the modified files in a way as it was the last change i have done. The gray apps do not use mounted folders or are modified in any other way. I would look in a logfile to see the perhaps some entries but I don't know how.

Are the new vold and other modifications for FolderMount changes some rights in the filesystem?

Is it maybe possible to implement a button "unmade changes" to go back to the original implementation? I see some files with an ending .backup in /system (vold.backup and sdcard.backup) but i am unsure if this are all modifications which is made from FolderMount.

Btw: Very good work, thanks very much for FolderMount! Google makes with Android 6 the usage of external memory very complicated. With Android 5.11 I am even able to mount folders from /data/data to the external sdcard and to move big data out. :D

EDIT: I have looked around a little bit further: in /system/bin there are also files modified e.g. dex2oat, dex2oat.orig.gz, patchoat and patchoat.orig.zip.

Maybe the grayed apps have a dependency to these files?

Folder mount CM 12.1 SuperSu ..

I have to use supersu to use Folder mount, with cm 12.1 which has root built in, even though

it transfers the app i still don"t see it in my external sd card ?

could you please confirm if it works in CM 12.1 Android 5.1.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
new version. v2.9.8b which mainly migrates to the new permission model in Android M.

Changelog

New Android M permission model. Dangerous permissions are prompted when FM needs them.

Don't have an sdcard? FM won't bother you to grant it access to the root path of that non-existent external sdcard on boot.

When I get a chance, I'll push that update to the play store if no one raises a flag here.
[Android Software Development] enkidu70:
Done! :D
[Android Software Development] hurray:
I have it! It has something todo with a folder I didn't see if the sdcard is mounted in the tablet. :D

If I put the external sdcard in a reader to my laptop I see a folder named ".android_secure". And every app that have a file with the ending ".asec" (e.g. "com.antutu.tester-1.asec") did not work anymore if I have FolderMount installed.

I have no idea why the files are there, but the connection is obvious. :)

EDIT: I just see the new version 2.9.8. I will try it and give feedback.

EDIT2: FolderMount 2.9.8 works but I don't see the external sdcard anymore if I connect the tablet via usb-cable with MTP.

So my new route is:

- flash my rom (/system) again to get a clean status without FolderMount

- move all apps with status "External storage used" back to internal storage

- make a backup :D

- install FolderMount again and see if it works

I will give feedback but today its too late to make all steps.

I can't install the vold&sdcard-patch with V2.9.9 either on my Galaxy TabS2.

Latest working version is V2.9.4b. Afterwards not anymore. I tested all Versions from 2.93 to 2.99 (all from a clean level of course) :D

If I install V2.9.4b I can update to V2.9.9 from the PlayStore (but I have no idea if this is the correct way to go). Some test-bindings are okay and usable afterwards.

Here are my latest findings:

If I have installed FolderMount I am not able to use the feature "move to sdcard" from Android anymore. This is the root-cause for some apps disappearing if FM is installed. It seems that there is a "default installation setting" in some apps so that they want automaticaly install them to the external sdcard if they detect it and so the installation fails. If the apps are already installed and I install FM on top I can't use them anymore. This is the behaviour I found yesterday and are able to reproduce today.
[Android Software Development] Katu Beltza:
The app has updated to 2.9.9 and for now it seems that works correctly in my Note 4 SM-910f whit Alexndr rom v3.6 (Whit Xposed, init.d and rooted stock kernel).
