[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION]: As promised, I said I'd report back if I figured a way around this problem, so I decided to test again and did the following:

1.- Decompiled the kernel for my KK ROM I'm testing with, and changed the service command for the SDCARD0 to look as so:

service fuse_sdcard0 /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 /storage/sdcard0
class late_start
disabled

2.- Recompiled the kernel, flashed it.

Now, this might not happen to everybody, but all the files/folders in my internal memory (Sdcard0) belonged to user/group "2800:2800", with the sdcard0 folder belonging to "root:2800", which I imagine happened because I flashed the ROM, and THEN, after having booted up once, flashed the modded kernel. In any case, I did the following:

3.- busybox chown -R media_rw:media_rw /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

And basically that solved the issue with foldermount. Mounting works, creating files works, taking pictures, etc. Of course, I will continue testing to see if any issues present themselves, and will recommend this to the ROM dev, and ask why they are using user/group 2800.

I have mounted the DCIM folder from internal storage to the external SD card. When I connect the phone via USB to computer and choose mass storage, only the external SD card is available on computer and the phone looses the internal storage, then I need to reboot the phone.

So should I always stop the foldermount first or is there an option that it works without pressing the green pin?

Hi Im using It but after installing I got the message that there were some errors to repair

After repair now I got 2x my extsdcard

One is \storrage\extsdcard original and the new one is \mnt\media_rw\extsdcard

Is this normal And how can I reverse it
[Android Software Development] madmack:
These two locations for your internal data always existed and my patch didn't introduce them. All KK ROMs have these two similar locations. Store your stuff in the /storage one and not the other.

So I have been using FM since day one, everything was well until I tried to use it on my s5. I download a file, it shows up on my ext SD card as that's where it pairs. I reboot to recovery to flash the file, I can't find it in neither internal or ext SD card download folder. What am I doing wrong?
[Android Software Development] tweakertje:
Im sorry but it did introduce it

I have restored the original file platform.xml and the extra mount was gone

When opening fm the message about permissions where there and after the fix and reboot the extsdcard was 2 times in total commander again

I bought this app and it solved my problem with my storage space. However, everytime i disconnect my phone from pc, my internal storage dissapear. I have to manually unpin all the pairs first before connect it to the pc in order to fix this. It's a bit annoying that i have to do that all the time. Is there any better solution to this?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Then the bug is with your file browser. Either contact them or change the file browser as it will most likely also fail for all AOSP KK ROMs that have read/write access to the external storage location.

try this apk. It should hopefully solve the tasker un-mount issues you were having. I made some fixes to the way FM detects OTG devices in KK ROMs. You should be able to just link /storage/usbdisk instead of /mnt/media_rw/usbdisk now.

Let me know if it works :fingers-crossed:

[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION]

First, thanks for this awesome program, works great on my Note 3 with 4.4.2! Got Pro version since my S4 :)

A noob question that always bothered me: What would happen in the following scenario: I have 2.9GB free on my internal memory, I have 11.4GB of mounted files on my external SD. If somehow the app crashes at the startup and is not accessible anymore (which never happened so far), the previously mounted files are safe on their place? Lets say I have lost my root access and the app can't operate anymore, do the mounted files stay where they are?

I always had that nightmare in my head where the files are tried to be moved back to the internal SD (while not having enough space), causing data loss and weird bugs
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Your files are actually physically located in the external sdcard. Always. Even if you accidentally remove FolderMount or lose root access and reboot, your files are and will be in the destination(s).

A personal advise though: If these files are so important, you might want to invest and back these folders up periodically somewhere off the device. That way you at least can have these precious pictures/videos/documents/backups if your sdcard breaks or if your device is lost/stolen. I know this the hard way :(
[Android Software Development] Pumå:
Nightmare is gone, that sounds perfect :) Nothing to worry about for me now.

The files aren't that important, I just moved some GBs of obb located game files, I periodically do data backups with Titanium.

My fear had been bugs if some of my scenarios ocurred, but I think they will never happen if you use the program right. And as the files will stay where they are, even after atomic war and worst diseases, there isnt anything to worry. I had used it on my S4 too, not any issue. Thanks for your time and keep on with your great work, you made many people happy with FolderMount! :)

Soundcloud failure

Hi, Just found you're app and have been copying a couple of test folders across (Plants vs Zombies 2 and Lifecap).

All have worked great so far but I've had an issue with soundcloud. Foldermount tries to copy the data and I get the notification showing progress, which is very slow, the amount it's trying to copy is only 460mb (it took 40mins to get to 7%). It gets to about 7% and then errors on the notification with a failure message which just says "unknown error SoundCloud data".

The folder that I'm trying to copy is the "Android > Data > com.soundcloud.android" directory.

Any ideas what could be the issue?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
It's choking. Try moving them yourself either with Root Explorer or ES Explorer (or whatever file explorer) or ADB.

Sent from: SGS2 - JB 4.1.2 GB27 / SGS4 - JB 4.2.2 MF9
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Did you click on fix permission? Apps probably aren't able to write into the pinned sources, hence the permission error message.

Send me a bug report from the app's setting menu if you want me to continue debugging this issue on your memo pad.

this:

it could also mean that your sdcard itself is erroring out, no free space, or you simply have a bad controller. Try another app and if it was able to move the file, then use that app to move the files before pinning.
[Android Software Development] Rochey13:
Thanks for the replies

Thanks for the replies.

I tried using FileExplorer to copy the data over and that also choked. There was about 20,000 files around 1.5kb probably too much to handle.

So I decided to delete SoundCloud and re-install it, With the folder size small I created the Folder mount pair and am now using SoundCloud from the SD card!

Thanks again guys!

0 byte folder error

Hey man! Great app...

Been facing a slight issue with your app as of recently. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) and recently updated my rom to kitkat on temasek V93.1. The sdcard drivers were apparently updated with the kernel and although the app works fine with 4.3 stock firmware but if I use CM11 I get 0 byte folders in sdcard/Android/data folders which I try to mount. Also when they appear in Android/data the folders are usually empty although the app shows green shaded pins. Don't understand what the issue but if you could look into it... I'd be delighted. I fixed the permissions and the default error that appears claiming your device has a faulty whatever I don't exactly remember.

btw I'm using the donate version and frankly speaking for the amount of money you're charging I would say not even a 100$ would justify the use that this app brings with it haha
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Sounds like a custom kernel issue. Have a look at the site that is referenced in the OP.

Feel free to donate $100 ;) I certainly wouldn't mind it.

[Android Software Development] ironhead65:
Ok, I took a look through this thread...did not catch what I needed in the Search.

The Need:

Map TitaniumBackup through NFS to my fileserver.

My situation:

I use TitaniumBackup

I have a file server that runs NFS (network File System)/SAMBA/ETC.

With all the new Security "stuff" I have been limited to being able to map a NFS link to my phone, have NOT been able to map CIFS (Samba).

Using shell commands, I have been able to map my NFS to /mnt/nfs/TitaniumBackup

TitaniumBackup will not allow me to set it;s write folder as /mnt/nfs/TitaniumBackup

Using Shell commands and other commands I can map folders using BIND, using this program, or others.

WITHOUT the NFS share mapped, I have been able to map:

/mnt/nfs/TitaniumBackup (Source) /mnt/shell/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup (Destination)

Then, if I copy a file into the "Destination" it shows up in the "Source" Folder. Opening TitaniumBackup, it now writes it's backup to /mnt/nfs/TitaniumBackup.

Now, I clear everything, reboot (just to make sure).

I then MAP the NFS folder. /mnt/nfs/TitaniumBackup now points to my server folder.

I've tested copying files to/from my server, as well as dropping files into the server folder and seeing that they show up in:

/mnt/nfs/TitaniumBackup

Then, because TitaniumBackup will not allow me to connect to anything that is not in the SDCARD (maybe I'm doing something wrong??), I try to map that NFS to the SDCARD (command line or using FolderMount)

/mnt/nfs/TitaniumBackup (Source) /mnt/shell/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup (Destination)

This does not work.

Can anyone determine what I am doing wrong, or have any suggestions?

--Ironhead
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Try turning around the source and destination. In FolderMount, they're really the source and destination of where the files are being "moved", hence the confusion with the source and destination that you use when binding in linux.
[Android Software Development] dragonzzz:
Is there any way to unmount the folders in 2.6.8? Cause this is not working with WhatsApp.... :(
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Make sure your destination does not have any spaces in the path. Usually this is the culprit for not being able to unmount.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
And if the folder or any of its contents are in use, it won't unmount. IOW, force stop WhatsApp, then try again.

Is there a good file manager app that pairs with FM and effectively hides {Source}?

EDIT: After a reboot, the BETA option to hide the folders works just perfectly. What a simple yet awesome app! Maybe you can get one (or many) of the File Manager apps to incorporate your code? Upgrading now!

Perhaps like many other uses, I'm looking to clean up my "internal" SDCard on my HTC One. Since symbolic links don't seem to work, FM looks like a good solution. I'm testing things out, but so far it seems to do a good job of redirecting apps that save files (such as pictures in Tumblr or MP3 in AmazonMP3) into the locations I'd rather have them. (i.e. /Media/Pics or /Media/Audio). I was curious, however, if there was an app or file manager that could hide the original {source} folders w/o breaking FM.

I've seen a few replies, but I'm not sure if they were just device specific. Since I'm essentially redirecting folders on the same volume, I'm hoping it won't have the issues that others seem to have jumping from internal to external storage. The end result is for things like gallery apps to not show duplicates. There are some Apps, such as QuickPic or Rocket Player allow me to exclude the source directory from scans, but others (such as the on-board HTC camera/gallery/music app) end up showing duplicates.

I tried using ES File Explorer, but that didn't seem to work (at least for HTC Gallery). I bought Root Explorer with some free Amazon Coins. That was a huge mistake, seems like a very basic app compared to ES and FX. Hopefully I helped keep someone out of their parents' basement.

Anyway, I'm sure that this problem or a minor variation is a huge ongoing issue, but I thought I'd give your app a try to see if it helps resolve it and directs people here that are also looking for a substitute to symbolic links.

Thanks!

My problem is my phone storage is 1.27 gb and i have a 8 gb sd card... i want to play MC4 ... the obb file doesn't fit on phone storage and so i cant play when i take it to sd the game turns on but shut off before title screen... I want to use folder mount but how will i use it? The obb file doesn't fit on phone storage... is there any solution pleasd help.. and what should i give in default write dish in setting phone storage or sd card?

ps: the phone is NOT Xperia ray
[Android Software Development] chairsz:
if you have other big apps already installed on phone, link those to the external card to free up phone space, then install the mc4 game and obb file and then link that too to the external card with foldermount.

in case you dont know, when you set up your external card make a folder called android and in that android folder make 2 more folders 1 called data and the other called obb and simply copy from internal data to external dat and likewise for the obb

[Android Software Development] lambstone:
So... I've got a question. I'm using foldermount and it mounts perfectly.

I've read the FAQ

Will this affect me in any way? For instance, I 'foldermounted' 6gb worth of stuff and now have 6gb free space in reality however, Android reports as no free space and so does apps like Solid Explorer. Does this mean I can't copy over any stuff?
[Android Software Development] chairsz:
Are the. Pins greeen? Thats your first indicator if you mounted it with foldermount right your storage should. Be updated immediately after you exit settings and reopen it and check internal storage it should have risen

When I notice my storage didn't change or got low it was usually when I unmounted usb storage or I didn't click the pins once I linked the files
[Android Software Development] lambstone:
Yes. I did say everything works. Just that the reported storage changes.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
It is highly dependent on the app. If they check for "free" space, then it might stop them from writing. If they don't, it'll just work. Even if they do check, you can always unpin all folders and the internal storage should suddenly free up allowing these apps to do whatever they wanted to do.

Why not try and report ?
[Android Software Development] spirithandler:
Just want to stop by and say thanks for this app it works wonders on my s3 the pro version is well worth the money.
