I was playing around with 2.6.1b last night. Some pins turned green. It seems like it thinks the binds were successful in as much as they were, except only it could see them. After mounting, I went back in to edit one that was already mounted from FM's point of view and I could see the same folders on both, but Root Explorer showed no files or folders in the "Source" folder.

In Folder Mount:

1) Long click existing green-pinned pair.

2) Click pencil icon.

3) Click Source.

4) Make a folder using the folder+ icon. I usually use "moo" because there's less chance that one named as such already exists.

5) Back out and click Destination.

6) See moo folder and other folders that are already there.

Using Root Explorer:

1) Open Source folder.

2) No moo folder here or anything else in my case.

3) Open Destination.

4) See moo folder and the rest of the stuff you would expect.

It seems that Chainfire's mount namespace trick isn't working for your particular setup for some reason. Is this with a complete stock ROM (including the kernel?). No changes to selinux policies?

I had this same issue, but I think I got it working finally (Galaxy Note 3 w/o unlocked BL, forced to run Safestrap).

Instead of /data/media, try Source path of /datamedia/media (obb path is /datamedia/media/obb)

Now create and set the destination folder (i.e. /storage/extSdCard/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftL3HM for Let's Golf! 3). FolderMount is then able to move source file(s) and perform pinning without a hitch.

(Note: After successfully setting Source folder path to /datamedia/media/obb I had clicked 'Yes' to allow FolderMount to auto-create the destination folder which yielded a toast error notification: "Error: source must be in your internal sdcard" -- you can ignore this, or when creating future pairings press 'No' to avoid this error toast). I hope this works for you and others, as well!

Open up a terminal window and type "ps | grep daemonsu". Any entries? I think your root method isn't running the SU daemon that SuperSU kinda requires with Android > 4.1
[Android Software Development] Mike B.:
I love FolderMount and it has never let me down, but if it were possible I'd like to see an option to disable the toast listing of all pairs unless something failed. Currently, all successful pairings are shown and any failure appears at the bottom of that potentially large toast. My assumption is that everything will always mount (it usually does!) and I'd be happy to only see a toast if something goes wrong.

Alternatively, the toast could be disabled altogether and a proper notification triggered in case there was a problem. Until someone finds a way to conveniently adjust the global toast display duration, spotting a possible FAIL: mention in a long list that briefly flashes is tough for my ancient eyes. I refuse to believe that all FolderMount users are eagle-eyed youngsters! ;)

Broken S3 4.3

I installed the latest version on my S3 4.3 and it told me something like a module is broken, can i fix it. I agreed and now many things don't work, notably the play store. What change did it make and how do I undo it.

Thanks, Ben
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Nothing.

My "root method" is flashing a rooted ROM which came with SuperSU.

If there's a problem, it's with SuperSU.

[Android Software Development] madmack:
Only reason why I haven't implemented that yet is because I like the menu nice, clean and minimal. You make very valid points though, after all, why show that all succeeded ? I'll think about a solution. Maybe give up and put that option in the settings menu after all.

Overwrite /system/bin/sdcard with /system/bin/sdcard.backup, reboot, profit.

That's definitely the problem. At least I know what is causing it which is a step forward. You can try flashing one of SuperSU's cwm flashable zips which will most likely fix this issue. Not sure why your ROM chef decided to ignore the supersu daemon. Now I know what to look for before implementing such a feature in the next version. Awesome beta testing by the way :good: Better to realize that now than later when it hits the play store.

Edit: just released 2.6.2b in the OP. It should be able to figure out whether the supersu daemon is running properly or not before using the new optimized mount commands. Hopefully this works for all now.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
I "flashed" that zip. The init.d script executes without error, but daemonsu doesn't stay running. If I manually execute the script after boot, daemonsu stays running, but Folder Mount 2.6.1b still doesn't do anything.

Incidentally, su and daemonsu are the exact same file.

Not sure what's going on. It sounds like a SuperSU problem to me. In any case, v2.6.2b should still be using the same old debuggerd trick for your device. :good:

[Android Software Development] madmack:
If you're into building kernels (they mostly have their sources readily available via a link in the OP), then apply the recommended steps outlined in the OP, flash, and profit. You can also just flash a stock GE kernel (which isn't such a horrible idea IMO) and profit.
[Android Software Development] Shocky2:
Well that's great advice if your using a real i9505G but i'm not so that's not an option.
[Android Software Development] danarama:
Have you requested your favourite kernel dev make the changes? They wont do it if no one asks

hi,

i am running the premium version of foldermount version v2.6.3

just upgraded my Note 3 SM-N900 to kitkat 4.4.2 INU

N900XXUDNA6_N900ODDDNA3_INU

after starting foldermount it asked to fix the device and then rebooted.

after which the internal sdcard vanished as well as the external sdcard

i had to delete /system/bin/sdcard and rename sdcard.backup to get back the sdcards.

of course foldermount will not work the default /system/bin/sdcard.

pls suggest fix

shaju
[Android Software Development] madmack:
run the patch again? sometimes, for reasons that I cannot yet determine given that I haven't been able to replicate, the patch results in a 0 byte /system/bin/sdcard. Maybe your /system partition is full or something and if so, delete something in /system/app/ that you don't use and then try patching again.

The patch does work with the Note 3 4.4.2 KK. It has been confirmed by multiple users.
[Android Software Development] M3wThr33:
I'm getting the same issue on a stock rooted Sprint Galaxy S4 running 4.4 NAE. I'll try triggering that again.

Edit:

Well, that helped. (Although out of an abundance of caution I renamed /sdcard to /sdcard.evil)

I re-patched, it said something went wrong, to contact you, but I rebooted and... it seems ok?
[Android Software Development] shajvarg:
thanks

the second time it worked.!!!!

strange. i had noticed that even the first time there was a 17k sdcard file in /system/bin dir.

so dunno what changed the second time.

the only difference was that i shut off mount at boot and rebooted it once manually before applying patch.

shaju

btw wanted to know why mount -o bind /extdir /intdir works in a shell but is not seen outside of it.

was trying to look for solutions.

download busybox installer, open the app and have it installed the binaries. Then download connectBot and connect locally. Once inside the terminal type

busybox md5sum /system/bin/sdcard and post the output here.

Make sure FolderMount already patched your system and your sdcards are invisible like you said before attempting any of that.

Boot on failed attempt to mount

Hi,

I have an Xperia ZQ (C6503) with android 4.3 (10.4.1.B.0.101).

Bellow I provide detailed steps of what I do and when the app fails for me:

1. Hit Apps Analyzer;

2. select the app I want;

3. Hit Create pair. The app shows the correct, real path (storage/removable/sdcard1/Android/obb/[name of the app])

4. The app transfers the data correctly;

5. In the List of Pairs I see a grayed pin, then I tap it, assuming it will mount it;

Here is where the system reboots, and if I have the Execute on initialization option, it bootloops.

This is the first app of this kind I try, can anyone help me make this work?

Thanks

P.S. I would like to also note that I have used the "search forum" and haven't found a solution before, so no flaming ok?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Don't mean to flame but sometimes all you need to do is read the OP. Specifically the part about the FAQ.

This app won't cause a bootloop. Worst case is that you will have no access to your SD card.

[Android Software Development] DrJ76:
Hello everyone. I have been using folder mount for some time since I bought my wonderfull Archos Gamepad 2. It is working fine for most of the games, but I have a problem that makes others not to work. the problem is that the linked folders are not writeable. I mean, if I create a folder named test in the internal storage and I link it with a test folder in the SD, if I navigate to the test folder, the app will take me to test folder in the SD card, but if I try to create a new folder there, I get an error that it is not possible to create it.

Of course, if I try to write something anywhere else in the SD, not linked folders, it is working ok, so the problem is that with folder mount I am not able to write there. So some games, like max payne, are not able to work, because they need to save things in their data folder, that is linkd with folder mount and are readonly....

Has anyone the same problem?. I thought it was a problem of compatibility with gamepad2, but it seems that some people with the same device are able to write in linked folders, so I don´t understand what is happening.... maybe is some kind of incompatibility with my SD card or what?....

If I was able to write in FM folders, I would link the whole DATA folder from internal storage to SD card, so I will not have to worry enymore to move games or create individual links, everything will go to SD automatically.

Best regards.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'm still waiting for an Archos device owner to test the permission patch that I've created that will fix this problem. If you're willing to test an apk that has a very slight risk of causing bootloops (you should be able to revert back using some recovery or flashing option in case you have a bootloop), then let me know via the contact developer link in the play store and I'll send you the patch.
[Android Software Development] DrJ76:
I think you are the one I was talking with about my archos problem, and you already sent me the beta version to test, but I didn´t have the guts to try it, sorry.... Anyway, do you think that it is possible that other guy with the same archos and firmware version , and same version of the app folder mount, can write in linked folders?.

Someone in dingoonity can write in these folders, I don´t know why I can´t, grrr...

Best regards.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'm not sure why you keep mentioning your issue here and in the email if you know very well what the problem is. As I told you before: your device will NEVER be able to write into linked sources without my proposed patch. Very simple. If you're not gonna test the apk, the app can't magically just work one day.
[Android Software Development] DrJ76:
I know, but the doubts came to me when I heard that it is working for one person with the same device as me, thats why I ask again. I don´t want to seem ungrateful, I thank you all the support you gave me by mail. But please understand me, I have more than 50 gaes installed, apps, and so on, I have too much to lose if the test go wrong....

By the way you talk, you mean that it is impossible that the app could work for someone with the same device as me, don´t you?....Are you completly sure that it shouldn´t work in any archos gamepad 2, aren´t you?.

Best regards, thank you in advice, and soprry for the inconvenience I caused you.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
It that person is using the same exact firmware and device, then FolderMount shouldn't work for him/her either. I really can't think of any other alternative than what was suggested earlier.
[Android Software Development] danfozzy:
hey guys

ive been using folder mount for a while now, never had an issue. but now ive got major snags.

ive just upgraded to kitkat 4.4.2. once i installed folder mount it told me that it needed to alter the permissions as it said it could access my sdcard then reboot. so i let it do it.

after a restart it then told me it needed to patch a faulty file, so i let it do this. i then restarted as it suggested.

now i dont have access to /sdcard and the links to the external sdcard are messed up. i plug my phone in and i cant access either sdcard from windows. im stuck. i cant even access the playstore as that just FCs

i dont really wanna wipe it again and ill lose my root and my knox will trip. Is there anything else i can do?

edit: im lucky that moble odin pro can still access my external sd, im about to wipe and go again to see if this is a problem

im using the note 3 9005, latest foldermount on the playstore.
[Android Software Development] Dr.69:
I am not a dev and defenetily not an expert. But there is some basic information from the FAQ:

Second, from what I know Samsung messed up some things in KitKat regarding apps permissions to write to an external SD card, so again from the FAQ:

And when you have such a problem it is mandatory to write what rom and kernel you are using.

Good luck:good:
[Android Software Development] madmack:
just to add the following work around : restore /system/bin/sdcard by deleting it and overwriting it with /system/bin/sdcard.backup and then uninstall and reinstall FolderMount. Reboot, when you start FolderMount again it should ask you to patch. Click yes and reboot and you should be all set.

I've recently discovered a bug where if you've upgraded your ROM and not factory reset (or uninstalled and reinstalled FolderMount), then the sdcard module that gets overwritten is one from Android 4.3 which won't work. A simply uninstall and reinstall of FolderMount should take care of it for now until I release the next official version.
[Android Software Development] danfozzy:
i send the bug report generated by FM via the app, ive wiped and reflashed using MOP injecting root and MOP, so i managed to get back to stock with root, status official and knox 0x0. i tried folder mount again, same 2 patches it asked for previously. this time it worked fine! im back up and running :)

that bug you found is prob what i just experienced as i did restore FM from my titainum backup, which was made from stock 4.3. hindsight i should have done a fresh install of FM as ive changed versions of android

I have 64gb sd exfat
[Android Software Development] madmack:
and what paths are the two sdcards ?
[Android Software Development] chemcup:
/mnt/media_rw/exSdCard

/storage/exSdCard
[Android Software Development] madmack:
/storage/extSdCard is the correct one. My patch did not create these two, they always existed even on stock TW Kitkat system firmwares. Any correct KitKat implementation has these two paths.
[Android Software Development] chemcup:
Why it appears in total commander and fx explorer after the FolderMount correction ?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
maybe that question belongs to total commander's dev given that I didn't write that app.
[Android Software Development] chemcup:
Ok I tried different file manager all them shows two exscared and two usb (when usb is connected) after foldermount? And after restore the sdcard backup in the bin file everything back to normal.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I am not creating two sdcards. Fact is, /storage/extSdCard and /mnt/media_rw/extSdCard are the two paths that exist for fuse emulated external sdcards on any AOSP KK ROM and this is what Samsung is following as well. You sideload "sdcard.backup" and navigate manually to /storage/extSdCard and /mnt/media_rw/extSdCard and you'll see that they both still exist. Why does some app you download from the play store report two for AOSP based emulation and not samsung's proprietary one when both show the exact same paths, is beyond the scope of my support.
[Android Software Development] chemcup:
Yes they both still exist that’s correct, but the second one does not appears when there is no FolderMount!

I am on stock Samsung rom.

Anyway thanks I will stop using FolderMount that's it for now!
[Android Software Development] egingell:
You're going to stop using an app because you think it's making a path - that is present no matter what - visible in a file explorer?

Edit: Even if it is making that path, it's not exactly detrimental or game breaking.
