Absolutely not. The SD card has 16Gb with no more than 1Gb used. In fact it has been just formatted, so it doesn't have anything on it. And my internal memory is about half-full.

Edit:

Tried to manually move files with Root Explorer and it gave me an error saying that there is no space! What the h...? On the same screen I can see that the free space on SD card is 14,35Gb!
[Android Software Development] madmack:
faux sdcard? :p
[Android Software Development] ts_firehawk:
Testing it now. Copying 11GB to it, just to see. Its not any ordinary card, I bought an SanDisk Ultra just because the fame that the brand has on quality. Guess is my tablet that is crazy. I'll try another rom if the card is OK.

I am willing to pay its PKR. 200 Rupees only. But unfortunately PayPal too isn't available in Pakistan :crying:

Do something man. I need this App badly for my Samsung S2 Plus. I had been crazy almost a month to figure the best way to do this.

And my good fate I get a good developer and what I want :D
[Android Software Development] egingell:
I won't buy another "Ultra". I bought a 64gb class 10. Not only was it incredibly slow, every few boots, my phone would say it was damaged and I'd have to reboot a second time. And when I tried to reformat it, it took over an hour to get half done and completely died.

[Android Software Development] siraltus:
Sounds like a defective card, you should get it exchanged. I've been running several Ultra cards and have had zero problems on various devices (phones, tablets, cameras, computers). I have had cards from other brands fail the way you describe, and they were usually bad out of the box or became defective within a day or so of purchasing. Always got them exchanged no problem.

The card doesn't seems to be my problem. Got over 13Gb of data into it (of 14,85Gb total) and no problems, it is running fine. I don't want to get it exchanged, things like this take ages here on Brazil. Also, the card is amazingly fast.

The main problem is my internal memory, too small! But I guess I'll keep my apps in it and I'll use my card for everything else. Lets see if Android reports a problem...
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Sadly, it was past the exchange period.

I have a whole lot of problems getting this to work

As a last resort I formatted SD, ExtSD and factory reset my phone.

Rooted the phone

Installed FM

Installed some games and some games that require additional data

I use "Apps analyse" and pair Carmageddon, Reckles Racing and Spiderman.

I verify the Pair list and click on the pin so if becomes green.

Carmageddon seems to Work, Reckles and Spider man only loads black screen for a while (10-20sec maybe) and then drops to where ever I launched it from.

Reboot - now Carmageddon does not Work either - same as the others. I wait for FM to notify me that all mounts er finished and no errors before launching anything.

Route66 does not Work either - same error.

I have factory reset and formatted like hell like 10 times... what am I doing wrong? I use the defualt paths suggested by the App Analyser, though I have also tried costume paths... no joy.

I also tried to make a debug file using connectBot but I get the error "No such file og directory" when running in "Local" Mount>/extSdCard/Mount.txt

Works with "Mount>/SdCard/Mount.txt" - does it make a difference?

also does not Work when running

Mount>/SdCard/extSdCard/Mount.txt

Mount>/external_SdCard/Mount.txt

etc.

Info

Samsung Note 2 International GT-N7105

100% stock rom rooted

Stock Kernel

Android version 4.1.2

Build number

JZo54K.N7104XXDMB2

FM version 2.09 from Google play - PRO

64GB MicroSD Class 10

Basically it doesn't Work with any of my aps.... :(

EDIT: SdCard is formattet ExFAT byt the phone, don't know what type of exfat or if it matters at all.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
1. If you're gonna post the mount.txt file, you need to follow the instructions to the letter. "Mount>/extSdCard/Mount.txt" is NOT what I typed. These instructions are case sensitive and you need to respect all the spacing I put in there as well.

2. It's really simple to see whether FM is working or not. UNPIN folder pair, is source empty? PIN folder pair, is source populated with destination files? If so, FM is working fine. From FM's perspective, this is what it guarantees to work. I can't debug specific apps.
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
Still error

Ok tested the pin unpin thing. When I unpin it does show 0 byte in the SdCard (original location).

I also typed this exact bit into connectbot but I still get no such file og directory - I am just being incredibly dumb? You can say though :D

mount > /mnt/extSdCard/mount.txt

Sure Im not expecting you to debug on specific app, that would be unreasonable but it doesn't Work with anything I Mount sorry :( have tried everything I could finde just to test.
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
The mount.txt

I tried as I mentioned earlier

mount> /sdcard/Mount.txt

which Works... does this make a difference? I have the file attached here.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
something is so wrong. can you tell me what your source and destination paths are? (please adhere to the letters' case)
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
Source:

/storage/sdcard0/Android/obb/com.stainlessgames.carmageddon

Destination

/storage/extSdCard/Android/obb/com.stainlessgames.carmageddon

Exactly as shown in FM

Thank you for your assistance
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Everything is fine. I forgot you were on 4.1 :)

You said you unpinned and the source was empty, and when you pinned the source was populated. Then there is nothing wrong with FM unless I'm missing something?
[Android Software Development] ts_firehawk:
[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] Guess you were right about my case... The card was behaving too weird, decided to get my money back. Will buy another card and will let you know if everything goes OK. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
Correct yet nothing I mount will start. The only way I can make it work again is to unpin, uninstall and reinstall. :( too bad looks like I'm am stuck with having only 9gb of free space in total :( just curious how other manage to get it to work???

Thanks regardless.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Can't decide on how to input a code for paypal users so wanted to ask for your opinions :)

Would you rather copy/paste a large string (license key) into a text box in FolderMount or would you rather save a text file permanently in the root of your sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/FolderMount_license.txt) ? The former requires the basic skill of being able to copy a string in whatever email app the user uses.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Email said license file to user. Have user save file to disk. Have menu option to import license. Open file manager to have user browse for file. Use cat $file to import license key. Delete said file.

Include the option to manually enter a license key if the user prefers.

[Android Software Development] mightykc:
I have a hypothetical question. The new Google Edition 4.3 Camera only stores photos to internal storage. Would it be possible to use this app to link to External Sd so the camera thinks its saving to internal but its really going to external? :confused:
[Android Software Development] madmack:
that's what this app is for :)
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
The app mount any folders successfully but then the app stop working... Sure the data is no longer taking up space in internal storage, but doesn't it kinda beat the point in moving the data of if stops working? Am I the really only one having this problem? I have read through most pages and found no real solution?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
The app doesn't *do* anything beyond mounting. What else are you expecting it to do?
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
Let me ask you why you mount to you extSdCard of not to save space? Do you do it for the fun of it? My point is that the mount seems to work but nothing NOTHING I have mounted works. Only got Carmageddon to work but then I rebooted... now it just black screens at launch like every thing else I have mounted. I am or just mounting games I also tried my Route 66 etc. - same.

So I am asking; am I really the only guy that can't get this to work? So I wonder what could be wrong as I run pure stock with root. Perhaps this doesn't work with stock? I don't know so I ask. It not like I haven't tried anything myself prior to posting here. Damn I have read almost all 157 pages here just jo get up to date and googled prior to asking. I don't want to waste anyone's time, though I would like this to work. I have paid for this, but that is hardly why I want it to work. I paid for it because this is cool piece of work that deserves recognition and I would like it to work because, I REALLY need it to. My phone keeps popping up with error's due to low space.

Stupid Samsung to only include 16gb internal storage! No more will I purchase a 16gb phone!
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Given that no one else is having similar symptoms and I myself am unable to replicate the issue locally, it is impossible for me to debug this for you unless you ship your phone to me or something.

I can offer you a refund if you'd like.
[Android Software Development] mightykc:
Ok then my question would be how to implement this for the camera. I already have numerous folder pairs for my games which work fine, but for the camera it does not seem to work properly. When I set it up I get the message "Insert an SD card before using the camera"
[Android Software Development] madmack:
The DCIM folder? At least that's how I have that setup on my phone.
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
Thank you.

Did you not find anything out of the ordinary in the mount.txt file i sent you?

Do you have any idea why I can't run the "mount> /extSdCard/mount.txt" command in Connectbot?

Where you able to install say Carmageddon, mount folder and reboot without issue?

Thank you you are very generous but I see no reason for a refund if the problem is on my end/phone. If the app is working for everyone else then I'll donate the 2$ for you work. Perhaps I can get it to work in a later version/new phone. I could flash a custom rom and try but I would like OTA update for my phone and S pen features.

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] Beast84:
Cyanogenmod added support for exFAT sdcards, would the mounting this app does change anything with that? My card is currently fat32 but if I can go back to the original, I want to. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Is that the exact command you used? Because /extSdCard doesn't exist.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
the command needed to be /mnt/sdcard/mount.txt instead. I changed the referenced post in the OP.

Otherwise, everything looks fine in your mount file. I initially had android 4.2 in mind but given that you're on 4.1, it's all good.

don't. Wait til the next release (soonish) which will support CM's native exFAT support.
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
Yes

Yes I used the exact command madmack told me to.. I am a Windows guy so, monkey see monkey do unfortunately.

is the path

/Storage/SdCard/ExtSdCard ???

Kind regards

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Thanks :D

My sdcard it exFAT... does that mean anything? Should the SdCard be formatted exFAT or FAT32?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Beast84:
Sounds good. Glad I asked before I did it
[Android Software Development] egingell:
/storage/extSdCard or /mnt/extSdCard

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

I would use /sdcard/mount.txt. That works for *everybody*.

Or better yet: mount > $EXTERNAL_STORAGE/mount.txt :good:
[Android Software Development] .xxx.:
Whether or not I unmount or mount, the pinned key remains green but unfortunately, it doesn't work. It doesn't mount the files. Any work around?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
src folder name? Avoid stuff like Android, data, obb.. i need to figure a more reliable way to work around these names.
[Android Software Development] .xxx.:
Source and destination given over here..
[Android Software Development] madmack:
lol. sorry I had to laugh at that one. Don't try to do this man. This app is made to link certain folders in your sdcard to your extSdCard. Certainly not the entire sdcard! It'll never work for you I'm afraid because some apps will lock on folders on that path before any 3rd party app will be able to mount it. You should look for other options to do that. There are some "fstab" "swap" fixes floating around xda. One of em might do the job.

I guess I have one more "exception" to handle!
[Android Software Development] .xxx.:
Wow.. Thanks a lot for the reply man.. :P i tried so that i end up freeing a lot of internal sd card space. Guess i was wrong. Hehe.. lets see what i can do for that. Thanks :)

[Android Software Development] sasikumardr:
If you mean the dialog shown in screenshot attached, it stays for at least 5 seconds on initial use(after reboot). The pin color remains same(no green) and I gave you the before mount and after mount log. All subsequent clicks on pin will give you 2 second dialog and pin color remains same.
[Android Software Development] PLUG313:
I can't wait to try out your app when I get an android

and I would definitely buy it!

can anyone explain me why android discarded the moving apps to sd feature though?
[Android Software Development] fogbav:
I really want to move my Android/data and Android/obb ! Why pulling every single subdirectory ?

I don't see any technical restrictions ....
[Android Software Development] kretex:
Maybe you can get it on next paid/full version;)
[Android Software Development] DarkManX4lf:
I'm using the free version and I can't get it to work. I am trying to get Asphalt 7 moved to my sd and play from there. This app moves the data but still leaves the gamedata on the internal sd card. If I delete the internal sd card files and launch Asphalt 7, it will ask me to download the data all over again.

I am using a Sprint Note II with CM10.1.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
most apps that use your sdcard aren't really controlled by "android" but by each apps developers' decision. They have extra data and they hard code the destination to be your internal sd given that it's the one guaranteed to exist across devices.

I'm going to make an "expert mode" option that will allow you to mount whatever. I'm still thinking about it but it'll most likely be a premium feature. :good:

I got some free time today. Hope I can get the settings + mount on boot options going by the end of this weekend.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
It should keep an empty internal sd folder. Then, once you mount that folder by clicking on the PIN (it should turn green), then that empty folder will suddenly be populated by the destination's files.
[Android Software Development] DarkManX4lf:
So if I understand this correctly, once the pin turns green (it does for me) the internal folder will be filled with dummy files?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
That internal sdcard folder will be linked to the destination folder in your extsdcard. Any files you see in it are actually files on your extSdCard and not on your internal card.
[Android Software Development] racer321:
It all works perfectly with v0.1.2b now :)
[Android Software Development] DarkManX4lf:
Ahh gotcha. Thanks!

Odp: [APP][ROOT] FolderMount - Link folders from internal SD to external to free spac

I have tested this app on Wild Blood for now. Had some issues trying to bind a folder containing other folders, but when I tried to do it with the largest one inside, it worked like a charm.

Great job to the OP. Will definitely buy the pro version when it is out.

I have P3100 with CM 10.1 on it.

Wysyłane z mojego GT-P3100 za pomocą Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] madmack:
0.2b is out!

Here it is guys. Biggest feature in that version is the ability to mount all pairs on boot (you can disable that via the settings menu).

I've been working on this feature for a while actually. The reason why it took me a while to complete it is because FolderMount isn't able to remount your external storage (to correct permissions and ownership) if the device is ongoing a media scan which happens on every boot sequence automatically. FolderMount will patiently wait until the media scan is over before attempting to mount all. For Android versions < 4.2 this isn't an issue so the mount process should happen instantly.

Test and let me know ! We're nearing a Play Store release :)
[Android Software Development] siraltus:
Just tested the next version of FolderMount, and can confirm it works perfectly with the native Cyanogen exFAT support. madmack fixed it in a day, now that's customer service!

Hopefully it hits the Play Store soon!
[Android Software Development] mightykc:
I have mine setup like this:

Source: storage/emulated/0/dcim

Target: storage/sdcard1/dcim

And my card is formatted ext4

Not sure why I'm having issues.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Which card is EXT4? No matter, your issue is EXT4. Android doesn't like it when the SD card is EXT4. I formatted my internal SD card on my S2 as EXT4 and now I have to run a hacky script at boot just so I can take pictures at all.
[Android Software Development] Pretzel Kleo:
Hey [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] any advance with the mount/unmount problem?

Also I want to ask you if I have a Touchwiz based ROM and I want to buy a 64Gb Class 10 SdCard formatted as exFAT there will be no problems with FolderMount, right?
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
Yeah I jsut used /sdcard/mount.txt earlier.

Thanks

Right now Im doing full erase, format sd, format extsd to fat32, flash stock rom and kernel Again to see if it will work now.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Try with fat32. That could very well be the problem.

Mount the folder pair first again with FM. Then use Astro File Explorer and navigate to the source. There, try creating one dummy folder, refresh, and then delete it. Did this work or did the folder disappear or did you get some error?

You'd be surprised how many OEMs neglect that variable. LG, I'm looking at you :cool:

I already fixed that issue (I think) in a beta apk. I'm just working out that PayPal integration issue that I'm so lazy to finish and we'll have a play store release.
[Android Software Development] mightykc:
My external is ext4. I previosuly had it as fat32 and I kept getting the extsdcard permissions error. Thats why I switched to ext4

EDIT: Ok I got it to work. Thanks for the help!
[Android Software Development] egingell:
/facepalm

For those cases, you can try this (works on my S2, does not work on my S4 because the "device" for the internal SD card is /dev/fuse which is extremely generic and it's a different path to "by-name" and there's no "by-name" for SD storage):

#!/system/bin/sh
EXTERNAL_STORAGE=`echo $(mount | grep $(realpath /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/UMS)) | cut -d ' ' -f2`;
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE;

Edit: or just use /sdcard since it *should* always be available.
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
Solution found!

FANTASTICK! I thought about formatting the SdCard to FAT32 earlier but then I dismissed it as the phone didn't seem to have a problem with it. I formattet the SD with the phone in the first place so I thought it was ok.

THANKS A BUNCH! I am now one happy dude!

You might want to add this bit of info somewhere. Formatting the SD with the phone to exFAT is a bad idea! :D
[Android Software Development] madmack:
For bug reporting purposes, I think /mnt/sdcard/ will suffice. This path has been there since the early days of cupcake and eclair and all new ROMs still symlink it for compatibility reasons.

Speaking of bug reporting, I think it'll make some of you happy to have a simple "send bug report" button in FM that will do all that hard ConnectBot stuff for ya :p
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Wait, so FAT32 fixed it?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
To be fair, it's not a bad idea. It just doesn't play well with FM.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
v2.0.12 is out.
[Android Software Development] omias:
I buy 2.0.12 !!!!

But there's an issue (in 2.0.9 too)

.... I copied "Sygic" (gps app) and my phone freeze and this:

To "solve" this issue I must delete the sygic folder created for FM into extsdcard, but i must do it with my desktop Pc necessarily.

Then, I must copy "Sygic" folder to a folder created in manual .....e.g. Sygic Gps.

Then.....if I use the "Auto mode" my phone goes crazy !!!!

This version is working with Micro SdCards formated as exFAT?
[Android Software Development] Sanien:
YES

I think so. I formatted the SDcard to FAT32 and now both Carmageddon, Spiderman and Tin Tin is working... but strangely some of the other games still doens't Work (just noticed). But doesn't matter for now, it is Tin Tin and Spiderman that takes up 4gb!

It even works after a reboot LOL I'll try and uninstall the other games and try again. I also just updated FM to v. 2.0.12

EDIT: The games that did not Work, now Works after a reinstall :D

Now I tried to link SdCard/Download ---> ExtSdCard/Download

All it did was moving the files to extSD... no link was created in FM. The download folder in internal storage is now empty. I have tried a few time already but I will keep trying.

NOTE: the download folder on the extSD already existed, I'll try and remove it and see if it Works.

EDIT2: I deleted the destination folder "Download" (which also contained some files) and re-ran the Mount weeeeeeee! WORKS!

Hope it is useful for anyone.

EDIT 3: FORGET everything I wrote!!!!

I just found out that I have been cheated. The SD Card i bought is a fake! It shows 64gb Space but infact it only has 8gb!

Sorry for spamming you thread :(

Migrate form DirectoryBind to FolderMount

Hello,

I am using DirectoryBind, but because it is not updated anymore, I like to switch to FolderMount Pro, because I am using more then 30bindings. Is there any way how to import bindings from DirectoryBind backup csv file, to FolderMount?? It would be realy useful feature. Other way I have to move all data back to SD, delete all bindings from DirectoryBind and then rebind it with FolderMount one by one and its real nigtmare...

Or any other simple way how to convert DirectoryBind backup file directorybind_conf.csv to sqlite format of FolderMount backup file?

Thank you for help.

DirectoryBind directorybind_conf.csv backup file syntax is:

/mnt/extSdCard/DCIM/;/sdcard/DCIM/;1
/mnt/extSdCard/Samsung/;/sdcard/Samsung/;1
/mnt/extSdCard/Pictures/;/sdcard/Pictures/;1

EDIT:

I tried your free version of FolderMount while DirectoryBind is enabled and pairs are binded in it, well in this case I was not able to bind anything in FoulderMount, is this normal? Or should it work even with DirectoryBind enabled?
