OK, I've done it many days ago, even sent an email to the developer stating the problem and asking for a solution to my problem. Still without any response from the developer.

I'll try to explain as best as possible, normally I use apps like Zedge, Tumblr, 4chan is down a fair amount of images for these apps, I own a Galaxy S4 4G, you should already know the storage problems ... My problem is simply that the application stopped assembling folders either when I download images, or when I move games to the external memory. Simply the application stopped working. I've tried reinstalling, clearing cache, sent reports to the developer and there was no position on his part. Maybe even so I was a bit harsh in the comment above. But I paid for the app, I want at least minimal support.

Sorry for English.

Hi i have a question,

i'm on android 4.4.4 and the only thing i don't get is, i mounted Android/data and Android/obb to my external sdcard which works flawless, but why is the space used on my external sdcard also counted onto my internal sdcard, this makes no sense for me, cause i pushed them to the external sdcard to get rid of the space problems on the internal card, but when it also counts on the internal sd card the program is kinda useless for me.

is there some wrong with what i did ?

The first screenshot shows that the Zedge folder is mounted

This is the Zedge folder in the internal memory, here shows that the folder is empty

Here I saved a random image of the Zedge app.

Here is the Zedge folder in the internal memory with the saved file.

Internal memory

External memory

Zedge print

Here shows that the folder is mounted. But why the files are not being saved in the external memory? Even with enabled pair? This is my problem. Before the application worked perfectly when I was directing downloads to external memory.

Anyway, my problem is that the application is not doing the pairs (but within the application it indicates (green pin), so the data were to be saved in the external memory, are saved in the internal memory, in theory, the app became useless.

I do not want a refund, this is the only application that runs Google Play (or worked that way)

And also already tried a factory reset. Unsuccessfully.

Is it still not possible to get it to work with whatsapp??

I read the thread and lots of people report problems while trying to move whatsapp media to the SD card. I just wanted to know: Anyone got it to work with kitkat??? Is anyone managing to access new and old media files on whatsapp after having created a foldermount's pair to move them to the SD card?

I tried everything possible and never got it to work. I am running stock kitkat 4.4. on a galaxy s4. Creating a pair with foldermount will work for any previous media files that already exists on my whatsapp chats. But any new media that arrives won't get recorded on foldersmount's destination path and will lead to this whatsapp error: "sorry, this media file doesn't exist on your SD card"

Other issue I have related to whatsapp is that I can't unmount foldersmount whatsapp pair (I am having this right now after trying to link whatsapp video folder...)

Hi,

I'm currently using a Xiaomi Redmi 1S and just downloaded Foldermount from Play Store (I've been using the paid version for quite some time on other phones).

I've created folder pairs for camera, whatsapp and Fifa 14, and all work fine, but if I reboot the phone, the folder pairs will remain created, but won't be active (white pin) instead of active (green pin), and every time I reboot my phone (which is a lot of time now that I'm still setting it up) I have to manually activate all the folder pairs.

Shouldn't it be done automatically on every reboot? I've tried setting a delay of up to 1 minute in the Foldermount settings page, but still no joy. Maybe it's not 100% compatible with miui?

Or maybe Foldermount uses init.d scripts for this? I enabled init.d on the phone (using init.d toggler from Play Store) just after installing and configuring Foldermount.

[Android Software Development] WastedJoker:
Hi,

Just bought the full version of this app.

Quick question: Are there any folders that Android saves to /sdcard/ that shouldn't be linked to external_SD (such as the Android or data folders)?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
check out the FAQ. If you aren't receiving any notification after a reboot like "foldermount failed", then the most likely cause is another root app or xposed module that is interfering with the on boot operations of foldermount. I have the galaxy s5, no buggy xposed modules, and my device mounts all pairs successfully after every single reboot.

Avoid folders that are used by apps as soon as you boot up as they might start before foldermount is done mounting and not find their data.
[Android Software Development] jman0:
I'm not using xposed, so that can't be the problem. I'll have to take a look at the apps that autostart with the phone.
[Android Software Development] jman0:
I've just solved the problem on my phone. It lies on the way miui handles apps which start themselves during phone bootup. I've had to open miui security center, and allow the execution of Foldermount during system startup. That way, now I get all green pins after the phone restarts. The problem was on the miui side of the equation.

Thanks for the help.

request: sorting in source folder list

Love this app and am using it (paied for) for some time!

I've got two requests:

1 (most important)

when selecting a source folder, could you make it possible to sort the list not only alphabetically, but also by folder size? That way we know which folders are most appropriate to swap to external SD card.

2 (less important, but nice to have)

Second request: I have all destination folders in \ExtSdCard\Folermount. Could you make a default entry, so that when using the automatically creation of folders they all will be in that folder?

eg: when swapping Google Earth, FM should create this folder:

\ExtSdCard\Foldermount\Google Earth

3 (is it possible?)

Could Foldermount start sooner when the phone is resetted?

Because it starts so late, it is not possible to swap all allplications that I would like to.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
The first two are feasible, the third one is not. The mounting happens after the media scanner completes, so the time the app actually loads is irrelevant. It's also not possible change the order in which apps load.

Solved my issue by uninstalling the module Xinternal. ;)

Would be great when the first two were included in the next build :D

Maybe someone will find a possibility to change the order of starting applications on boot. Maybe by using the init proces (/system/core/init) Interesting reading is this: http://www.kpbird.com/2012/11/in-depth-android-boot-sequence-process.html

Thanks. One Drive only lets me backup internal storage files. I want to backup files on external SD.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
In that case, use this app like normal. Otherwise, you'll be putting files on the internal sdcard which doesn't seem to be what you want. Just make an empty folder on the internal and use it as the source and tell One Drive the internal path (the empty folder you made - One Drive will see it as non-empty when the pin is green). That is the kind of thing this app was specifically made for.

please walk me through this. I want to make a folder from my externalSD card (/storage/externalSDcard/torrent) show up as a folder on internal storage.

[Android Software Development] egingell:
The steps required to make folder pairs are listed in the OP. It's the same regardless of whether you're moving files from internal to external or not - source = internal folder (arbitrary), destination = external folder (your torrent folder).

Hello madmack/egingell please,

My Note2(with 4.4.4 LiquidSmooth ROM) is upgraded to FM Licence version.I want to mount datas of the following apps - AirCall Accept,Chrome,Greenify,Helium,Nova Launcher,Papyrus,ROM Toolbox,Total Recall,True Caller,VLC & YouTube.But the source folders FM showing either in in SdCard/0 donot contain the datas/obb of these apps.Their actual sources are in either /root/data/data or in/root/data/app.How can I select these sources in FM for mounting?Further by mounting these apps will it adversely affect the proper functioning of these apps anf the phone itself?Sorry for this question if it is silly/baseless.However may I expect your valuable advice?

Waiting with thanks....

Don't. FolderMount was never meant to mount anything in /root/data so I cannot support or help you there. Try other apps like Link2SD.

Thank you madmack.Will Titanium Backup also do this function of Link2SD?I already have Ti B'up licence version.
[Android Software Development] apeine:
Foldermount worked ok, but not now

Hello folks,

I talked to FM dev before, but he haven't seen this situation before, but maybe a group effort can help!

I have a Hisense Sero 7pro to run some games, with 32 Gb card (25 Gb for media and moving games, 7 Gb for Link2Sd), and as expected, some of them take a whole lot of main memory. Then I learned about foldermount, tested it and bought it. I was delighted, as my main memory allowed to add several large games.

But last month a batman game was launched, but with a gigantic size of 1.6 Gb, I had to delete some games to make enough space. After erasing several of them (thing is, I erased from config first and then umounted and removed from foldermount), I managed to install the batman game. It was awful (I hate "energy games", where you have to pay or wait to play more) game, so I removed it (config first then umounted and erased from foldermount).

Now several games that were recognized by foldermount before are not recognized anymore (show up as 0 bytes to move, namely Shadowlands, John Dever Lone Wolf, among others, but were recognized before. God of blades, Shadowgun and couple of others were recognized)! None of them was mounted and linked2sd at the same time. Has anyone seen this happening?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
The apps analyzer is quite simple; it only scans /sdcard/Android subfolders for game data. If the game doesn't have anything in there, FolderMount shows 0B.

You're always free to move folders individually without relying on apps analyzer. I personally rarely use it since I mainly use FolderMount for music, photos and navigation maps. None of which show up in apps analyzer.
[Android Software Development] apeine:
Oh kay.

Help a dummish app data mover. Where do I get to find game data? \data\app? \data\data?
[Android Software Development] apeine:
I spent a while yesterday browsing the entire memory. Found no traces of large files (besides shadowgun obb files), but I found apks in /data/app, including the large games I commented on (Lonewolf, Shadowlands and some others large-ish apps). As none of them are used during boot, is it possible to move the apk with foldermount?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
No. Use Link2SD.

Sent from: SGS2 - JB 4.1.2 GB27 / SGS4 - JB 4.2.2 MF9
[Android Software Development] apeine:
That's a bummer. I guess only paid version do that! Otherwise I can only move library and data.

Bad part is that foldermount is quite useless as of now, as there is no large data to be moved at all.

Or start all over again, backing up and reinstalling rom, so maybe I can get the usage I need.

Weekend is coming. I'll see what I can do.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Uh. Link2SD free moves the APK (the thing you asked about), DEX (dalvik-cache), and libs. You pay to also move data out of the app's /data/data folder.

cannot choose destination

hi.

this app does not work for me. the issue is that it doesnt let me choose the correct destination folder.

i am trying to link

/mnt/sdcard/WhatsApp

to

/mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD/WhatsApp

because that is where the lg e400 mounts the external sd in its file system.

foldermount only lets me choose between

/data/sdext2

/mnt/extsecure/extasec

which are wrong. i dont know what the second is, and the first is the second partition where link2sd puts its stuff.

i hate that i cant just manually enter a destination path. is there some config file?

help!

I recently bought a Samusng S4 Mini DUOS (I9192). I updated to 4.4.2 via ODIN (Indian Version) rooted it and everything worked well. Then I did a Nandroid Backup and flashed another custom ROM (CARBON by F4K) which ran well. After a few days I again restored back to Default by restoring my nandroid backup. I then found that my Whatsapp is not allowing me to download. Another app (KOLKATA SUB) is force closing. Howver, both these apps worked well when I used the default ROM initially afetr updating through ODIN. I tried many things nothing worked. Then I came across this FOLDER MOUNT app and installed it hoping that I can do something. I ran this app and it advised to patch system/bin/sdcard. I patched and voila everything started to work. Whatsapp started saving and my KOLKATA SUB app also worked flawless.

I was so happy that I bough the pro version of this app. But actually I am not using the app but it seemed to have patched that particular folder and everythin g seems to be working now.

Now if anybody can explain what was the problem and how it was rectified by FOLDER MOUNT.

I have a problem with app analyzer. It suggests me create pair for folder that is inside of already mounted folder.

For example:

I created pair with source /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb and destination /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb.

And when i start app analyzer it suggest to create pair with source /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/com.barkingmouse.losttoys and destination /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb/com.barkingmouse.losttoys.
[Android Software Development] PeterTheMaster:
nice, the program is so good, it fools itself! ;)
[Android Software Development] madmack:
yea, that's normal. When auto creating the destination, FM simply just recreates the original path in the internal sdcard but in the external one.

solution: never mount individual apps to /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb in the first place.
[Android Software Development] PeterTheMaster:
no, i think his problem is not, that the destination folder is inside another destination folder, the problem is that the analyzer still thinks that there is stuff to link even though it's already linked (by its parent folder).
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Regardless of what he meant, it's not a problem - it's a quirk at best - and nothing can be done about it.

Sent from: SGS2 - JB 4.1.2 GB27 / SGS4 - JB 4.2.2 MF9

why not? the app knows which paths it has linked, so it should be able to ignore or zero them in the analyzer.

Hi [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] , thanks for the great app. It's become an indispensable Android tool for me. I have a few bug reports though (your site is down ATM so just thought that I'd make a post here instead of emailing):

The app doesn't appear to escape spaces and special characters correctly upon unmounting. I have set up a pair from "/sdcard/XCOM - Enemy Unknown" to the external sdcard which does work but I cannot unmount it (consequently I can't remove it without clearing FolderMount's data).

I believe this issue might be due to the phone's listing of mount points with spaces in the path as octals (\40). Can you please have a look?.

Secondly, there is an issue with uninstalling an app whilst its obb is pinned which renders the mount point invalid. It appears that because Android deletes the obb directory upon the app's removal, the mount point becomes inaccessible from userspace thus any further attempts at unmounting or using the mount point in general fail.

This is not necessarily FolderMount's fault but it would be nice if there is a way to catch the app's removal event to unmount said obb directory before the app is removed. Better yet, perhaps the app can try forced/lazy unmounting if normal unmounting failed?.
[Android Software Development] PieceKeepr:
I've read some but not all of this thread so I apologize if this has been asked and answered already.

I've been using the app for a while but over this past weekend my phone started freezing shortly after it booted. After much tinkering I finally figured out that Foldermount was causing the issue but only when set to "auto" in the delay setting. I didn't try 30 seconds but set to 1 minute everything works fine.

I didn't get a rom update or anything other than typical play store app updates so I have no idea why it suddenly became an issue. Also , I'm only moving app data and nothing system related other than the internal download folder to the SD card.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?
