I'm quoting myself as I have to post an update regarding my findings - as it turns out, once I have formatted my Toshiba Exceria 128GB microSD card to NTFS, FolderMount STILL DOES NOT work with it at all on my LG G3 with CyanogenMod 14 EXPERIMENTAL release by [MENTION=4574857]finnq[/MENTION] and this means that fixes need to be made at the OS build itself, and it has not got to do with the file systems that the microSD cards use in this case.

Why after move data to sd card,in the internal..data is still there,read on the root explorer,or file manager?i mean like double files..and after i delete manual,one of them,file of both is gone :(anyone can explain?

Sory for my english
[Android Software Development] treysis:
[MENTION=4857746]naifaharsy[/MENTION]

Easy. The thing is, what you see with explorer on internal memory is actually just a virtual copy of the external folder. This is the important concept of FolderMount. It makes it look like it is the normal folder. But in the background you're accessing the folder on extSdCard. So it is not taking up space on the internal card. You can also confirm this by creating a file inside your folder. It will automatically appear in the other one as well.
[Android Software Development] naifaharsy:
in the setting,my internal also read double ,but app like a sd maid my internal is decrease??thats weird dude..

[Android Software Development] treysis:
Sorry, I don't understand your reply. Please give yourself more time when writing a reply. What do you mean by "my internal is decrease"? Do you say, the explorer app shows you that the space on the internal memory is decreasing? If yes, this shouldn't be the case. Especially if files appear in both folders.

[Android Software Development] ghst7:
[MENTION=7789099]Kronos1111[/MENTION]

OBB can be moved, if it's not showing up it's because either it doesn't exist or it was deleted, this does happen sometimes due some error while transferring files, now if you have the correct path created and linked with foldermount just redownload the files missing to fix the problem.

Best of luck.

external card is not shown on S7

Oh man...

I spent a whole day for searching through the web, why my damn external sdcard is not shown anymore till i figured out,

that its coming from FD, Jesus!

I uninstalled FD, but it seems that this bug/issue still exits.

How can i revert the kept changes after uninstall made by FD, so that my external sdcard is shown again on my windows PC?

Thank you.

Okay so, I have a Galaxy J7 with Android 6.0.1.

When I initially ran Foldermount, it asked me to delete system/bin/sdcard and sytem/bin/vold.

[Android Software Development] MrFr1day:
So ... I'm guessing from the lack of replies that it's actually not possible to re-encrypt after the patch?

If so, you should clarify this instead of ignoring/misleading us.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
You're asking how to enable AOSP encryption. That's not a question about Folder Mount. You should consult the AOSP documentation.

Sent from: LG G4 MM 6.0 / SGS5 MM 6.0.1
[Android Software Development] MrFr1day:
And that is why it's misleading. There is no point in saying "you'll have AOSP encryption" (as if we can just normally enable it from the settings menu) if we have to implement it ourselves.

What it should say in the changelog is Samsung's encryption is removed/disabled, and if we want to encrypt, we have to implement AOSP encryption. (assuming it's possible).
[Android Software Development] cridtohs:
in2ext only mounts sd-ext to /data. Foldermount mounts internal /sdcard to external /sdcard, very different. Also int2ext uses 100meg internal data for every 500 megs of ext data. Very different programs. There is also the extend function wehre you can extend the sdcard to the external data, but that is slow and prone to failures and problems as well. Foldermount is really the only solution and all the other apps dont really work.

Hello,

foldermount worked fine with the known issues on a Samsung Note IV(Android 6.01). Since I did the latest 6.01 firmware update FM is not usable any more. Without the patch it doesn;t work.

I'm back on Exodus ROM on my LG G3 D855. Internal SD Card is located on /storage/emulated/0, but FM shows a blank list. Using SuperSU 2.78 and FM 2.9.11. Tried clearing data, reinstalling, nothing. There's another mount point on /mnt/runtime/default/emulated/0 that shows internal data but FM refuses to activate the pair.

Any tips?
[Android Software Development] Meneldur:
Regarding my issue, despite not seeing anything on the folder list I could create successfully a folder, which was visible from file explorer. However, the folder list on FM was still empty. I tried setting SELinux to "permissive" but didn't work either.

SM-T819 with the newest (November) fw - bootloop after patching the two files. After manually replacing the patched versions of sdcard and volp with their backups, it works, but I am unable to mount the card (it says it is corrupted). After reflashing stock system + rerooting, everything is back to normal. That is weird, what other changes besides replacing sdcard and volp files does FolderMount do? I expected that reinstating the two backups should be enough...

Anyway, it worked for the previous versions. Other Samsung phones/tablets seem to have the same problem with the newest (November) firmwares, any plans to update the patch? Thank you!

Different strange issues with FM on SM-N930F with Hydra

I first tried FM on my note 7 with Hydra 1.3.5 and Supersu. Patched the 2 files in system/bin/ all worked great, except the whatsapp folder. Whatsapp never worked for me, not in note 3, not on note 4, so I didn't care about. All other needed folders perfectly worked. I installed an update of hydra to version 1.4 and had to patch the sdcard and the vold file again. After patching I had a bootloop. Fixed it back to original files and system booted again, but FM didn't work. So I decided to get back to 1.3.5. Accidentally I installed the superuser instead of supersu and the auto binding of FM is not working anymore. I tried something strange... Tapped the switches manually again and again! And I wondered that this worked!! In some cases after 2 or 7 tries, I other cases after 100 tries. Switching back is exactly the same. If the switch is in on position, the folder is really physically mounted. If I change back to supersu FM mounts immediately.

Why does it work with superuser in that strange way??? Has anybody an idea?

The TWRP recovery works.

Can you tell me where i can find the back up and where i have to move it please ?

Response : You have to replace /system/bin/sdcard and /system/bin/vold

by /system/bin/sdcard.backup and /system/bin/vold.backup but it won't fix your phone....

I am going to have to factory reset it !!!

How do I get "Pro" version working?

The free, three folder, version works just fine.

I wanted more. Purchased the "Pro" version (an in-app transaction, not a separate item in the play store) and got ... nothing. Took my money happily and function remains limited to three folders.

emails sent periodically over the last month to the developer email as given in the play store have gotten ... zero response. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

I like the app, but the service sucks.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Yeah. It's not clear, and a poor choice, but after you mount them for the first time ... when you reboot the device they default to "not mounted". You have to go into the app, remount them, and then ... I think they stay mounted over subsequent resets, but they might now. I don't actually use the "Comix" app very often. (It has high volume data and only wants to store things on the internal storage!)

Here's the thing. You posted that as if it were comparable to what Folder Mount does--it is not. And, while it's a viable option for some, it won't work for most. People who are looking at this app are looking because they can't or don't want to download files that will be moved later, they want them to just go to their desired destination and be done in one step.

Trying to run paid Foldermount on a rooted Moto G4 with not much success.

Foldermount creates my Whatsapp folder on the SD card but then Whatsapp cannot see the media anymore, folders are pinned and green. Creating a test folder has the same effect and files created in the internal folder are not copied over to the SD folder. I am using a 128 gig card but have tried a 64 gig card (which worked fine with Foldermount on my Xperia Z) with the same effects.

Can only guess it's maybe the root method (flashing SuperSu via TWRP) but nothing to be found in the Moto G4 forum.

Aside from the fact that it doesn't do the same thing and requires a second partition which may or may not be ideal. The whole point of this app is to redirect incoming files, not move apps.

I borked my N4 and have found that I need some support, please. :/

Ok, so I installed this on a MM ROM on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Dtux v7.1) after reading the change logs indicative of MM and Samsung devices being supported.

During install, I got the warning about a couple of concerning files and let the installer 'fix' them.

After reboot, it started the launcher after rebuilding the cache(?) and getting the OS booted, then it rebooted. It continued to reboot after the launcher starts. I was able to use TWRP file manager to mount system and to restore /system/bin/sdcard and /system/bin/vold to the pre-install (.backup) versions.

I rebooted and uninstalled FolderMount prior to it trying to mount and was able to halt the boot looping.

I am left with a unmountable extSD. Is there a means to edit some scripts to get that resolved (to undo what the FM installer did)? Please advise. TIA.

I use it with bind folders or german: Ordner einhängen.

Runs on rooted Note 4 with latest Samsung firmware, with the issue that, if you want to see the external card with PC (win 10) you have to unbind, afterwards you bind the folders again.
