Short answer #1: If you aren't stock then using the word stock is rather misleading.

Short answer #2: Make it using a file manager like ES File Explorer.

Longer answer: Go back a few pages and find the post (#1204 in this thread) where I laid out exactly what I do step by step with instructions as an example for another poster. Although it doesn't match your problem the process and info is valid. Among other things I mention the manual creation of the destination directory with a file manager.

Anyways as long as this issue is resolved that's all I care about :):beer:
[Android Software Development] Stuartofmt:
I got it a bit wrong - I should have said ....

Checking from a terminal ('mount | grep 8:1') , the mount points still exist but changes for /Removable/SD from /dev/block/vold/8:1 (after boot) to /dev/block/vold/8:17 (after sleeping). Note that the mount to /data/media/0/SD ( /dev/block/vold/8:1 ) stays the same.

So it seems like the logical device mapping changes after returning from sleeping.

As I did some further digging - it's apparent (from looking at /etc/vold.fstab) that the SD card (on the dock) for the TF700 is a usb device. Which got me to suspect that when the TF700 sleeps, it may 'loose' the usb connection and reconnect as a different device /dev/block/vold/8:? thereby invalidating the mount bindings.

I have since tried StickMount. It creates a mountpoint at /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 (visible to most applications I use) and so far seems to survive the sleep. I'm surmising that StickMount is seeing (or forcing) a remount of the usb device after sleep (if that's what's happening) and handling that event cleanly.

mount shows /dev/block/sda1 mounted at /data/media/o/usbStorage/sda1

I have also tested this with FolderMount and StickMount both active and can confirm that the FolderMount binding ceases to work whereas the StickMount usb binding gets 'refreshed' when returning from sleep.

So for me at least, on a TF700 with keyboard dock - StickMount seems to be the way to fly .......:D

How come other apps shows kb only?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
If "other apps" refers to apps listed on the Apps Analyzer: My guess would be that the apps in question aren't storing enough data on the SD card to show MB.

If "other apps" refers to apps that are not FolderMount: My guess would be that they aren't doing the math to show MB instead.

need more info and some file from your device. Please follow OP for how to file a bug report.
[Android Software Development] orangerot.:
Just want to say that the toast message which appears on boot still doesn't display the text in the custom language(in my case english) but displays it on the device language(in my case german).

Would be nice if you could fix that^^

Everything else works perfectly on the latest version :) Thanks!

i have followed advise for using Foldermount on my rooted Nexus 7

and still nothing is binding - no green light

my directories are the exact same as yours

again i do think the destination folder is the problem here...

any other folks here have a Nexus 7 with this working

been trying now for over 15 hours with no success.....

is there some video tutorial on foldermount for the Nexus 7

nothing on youtube as far as i can see
[Android Software Development] bsoplinger:
Perhaps it's a ROM issue then. I'm sure I'm not the only person with a Nexus 7 using it successfully. I'm using the franco kernel but stock ROM. I know I've seen others using FolderMount in combination with USB OTG Helper instead of Stickmount.

[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Can I get a link to the version of foldermount that was released just before 2.0.5?

Worked fine for me on the version before the latest one so for the time being id rather use the older one that works for me.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
attached is what you've asked for.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Thanks a lot, i know this version works for sure. Hopefully there is an update at some point that addresses some of the issues i stated like not being able to pin data transferred to sd card. Still looking to see if my issue is Rom related or kernal related problem.

Keep up the great work.
[Android Software Development] ilegales:
at last i seem to be getting somewhere

so i installed USB OTG helper and inside FolderMount it created a completely different location than what stickmount was using

so i linked up to the destination and the stick now turns green

i will check the storage as i proceed with the larger apps to bind

so far so good -

again thanks
[Android Software Development] Stuartofmt:
Some of the apps I use e.g. Quickoffice, boxcryptor do not see the SD card in the kb dock - that was the problem I was having. They only show a top level directory at /sdcard and the microSD in the tablet itself. All happy now
[Android Software Development] bsoplinger:
Word of caution since you're using USB OTG Helper instead of Stickmount, since the external card gets mounted outside of the /sdcard directory some apps won't be able to "see" the card. You'll need to make a link from a directory you create in the sdcard directory to the external card to make them happy in case you're interested in having certain apps use the external card. I posted about that previously in this thread if you need more info about that. Personally I only choose to move/link data from certain apps realizing that I'll always have to have the OTG card mounted to use those apps.

Does someone have a backup of the previous version of foldermount they can share? The new version no longer works on my galaxy s4. The pin doesn't turn green. I tried to look in logcat, but the s4 logcats are so cluttered and busy that it was impossible.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
It won't get fixed if i can't replicate the issue or have the proper logs and mount files. :rolleyes:

some one that has the s4 where the new version don't work need to pm me or be willing to test a few apks for me to get this resolved.
[Android Software Development] jj14:
Just thought I'd share my experience on the Galaxy S4.

I installed foldermount (2.0.5) from the play store today on my S4 (Sprint), and was able to pair/move needforspeed folder from internal storage to external.

The pin did not turn green in foldermount application though - but it did free up the space on my internal storage, and the game works fine.

Running stock ROM, got the "faulty module" message when I first launched foldermount, and I let it fix it.

[MENTION=2687601]Metallice[/MENTION], your post said that the pin didn't turn green - could you try to use that application and see if it works?
[Android Software Development] Metallice:
I can browse to the folder and see it is empty on my internal storage and full on my external sdcard.

Foldermount 2.0.5 was working fine for me as an update. The problem only started from a fresh wipe and a fresh install of foldermount.

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

Tell me exaxtly what you need.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
follow the OP's guidelines for how to file a bug report. I need 2 mount.txt files and an example of your source/destination paths.

Are you using a touchwiz based rom or aosp ? Did FM offer to fix the "faulty module" when you first started it if you're using touchwiz?
[Android Software Development] Metallice:
Touchwiz and yes. And I allowed it to fix the faulty module and rebooted.
[Android Software Development] jj14:
I don't know this for sure, but when you browse to the folder on the internal storage, you shouldn't be seeing it as empty (because it should show you the contents of your linked folder) - at least that's what I see when I browse using ES explorer. Almost sounds like it physically moved the folder over to external storage, but didn't link to the corresponding folder on internal storage.

I'm sure [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] will be able to figure out what caused the problem.

I've never used foldermount before this, so this was a fresh install for my phone.
[Android Software Development] Metallice:
Mount files attached. One after boot (with foldermount set on boot disabled), and one after trying to pin.

Ex.

/storage/emulated/0/Android/obb

/storage/extSdCard/Android/obb

basically anything from internal to external though. I tried a bunch of different folders like .../0/tapatalk_download/ and still nothing.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Thanks. The two are identical.. looks like I definitely messed something up. Please try this attached apk. Let me know if the pins turn green.
[Android Software Development] Metallice:
No luck. Should I get a mount log?

After installing latest version, when looking at partition it shows my internal sd full at 91 prct with all the pinned games showing up in app analyser. But when I do enter each game it says it's already mounted. I'm confused
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
What ROM are you using?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Can you please tell me which ROM exactly? Maybe I can install it in my tmo s4 and see what happens. It'll be the easiest way especially that the change log between v1 and v2 is pretty big.
[Android Software Development] skivnit:
Stock mdk, first firmware. Before latest version my internal sd was showing 4gb free now it's showing 800mb free and I haven't done nything

[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'm downloading an mdk based rom to test. In the mean time, can you try creating a pair where the source is /storage/emulated/0/test and the destination is /storage/extSdCard/test2 and see if that works ?
[Android Software Development] Metallice:
It does not :(
[Android Software Development] madmack:
just tested it with a new touchwiz rom, installed FM and it worked fine. I'm thinking it has something to do with that nasty SELinux stuff they added in some of the CDMA variants.

Try the following apk, see if it works for you. Make sure you completely uninstall then reinstall.

[Android Software Development] YMatrix:
Hello,

I have tested the latest stable v2.0.5 version and I can't seem to get WhatsApp to work with FolderMount.

Previously downloaded media has no problem opening, but if I receive new media and try to download I get the error: "Can't complete the download. Please try again later".

I created a Pin between:

/storage/sdcard0/WhatsApp/Media
to
/storage/extSdCard/WhatsApp/Media

No problems in that process, I accepted the transfer to to external SD, clicked the Pin icon and watched it turn green.

I even did a reboot to make sure it was mounting correctly, and indeed I received the success message upon mount after reboot.

I created the 2 "mount" command results: 1) After reboot when the Pin was green. 2) Disabled Pin and re-enabled it

They are both attached to this post.

I am running this on a Galaxy S Advance running JB (XXLQB) with PureVanilla ROM.

Please advise what can be done.

Thank you!
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Do the following test:

1. create a "test" folder pair. Have /storage/sdcard0/test be your source, and /storage/extSdCard/test2 your destination. Pin them.

2. After the pin turns green, launch Astro file explorer from the play store. Go to /storage/sdcard0/test and try to create a folder in there. Refresh.. Do you see that folder? Do you get any errors?

If the folder is created successfully, I can't help you any further because the issue is specific to whatsapp, if it isn't being created, then we need to have another look at permissions.
[Android Software Development] YMatrix:
Thank you for your quick reply, but sadly after this test I can see that there is nothing to be done.

I created the test Pin you advised, created a new folder under the original location with no errors, disabled the Pin to see that in the original folder I can't see the new folder I created, and under the external folder I see the new folder.

So I am guessing I can't pin WhatsApp :crying:
[Android Software Development] madmack:
you can try force closing whatsapp and relaunching it. apart from that, i'm not sure what whatsapp is doing :rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] YMatrix:
Sadly, that didn't help either :(

Guessing WhatsApp want to bloat our internal memory, wihtout a way out :silly:
[Android Software Development] Metallice:
Still doesnt work... I guess I can wipe wnd try or switch to a different rom. I dont know what the issue is.

edit: fresh wipe of synergy - no luck. Fresh wipe of cleanrom - success on 2.0.7.

Edit2: it seems there is some conflict with the stock kernel in synergy. If I flash a new kernel before booting for the first time foldermount works fine.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
did v1.7 work with the stock synergy rom? I'm not sure if it's something I broke in v2 or if that kernel never really worked with FM.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Version 2 also is no longer working with the Omega Rom for the S4. It must have to do with the fact the ROM is based off of the latest stock firmware from Samsung with the move data to SD card feature.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
try v1.7.6 from post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42769599&postcount=1269. See if that works or not. I don't want to revert things in v2 when v1 doesn't work.

Move to SD isn't the culprit. I know of a few users on move to SD supported ROMs that don't have any problems with FM.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Currently I have 1.7.6 of foldermount installed. I'm just wondering what change that was made in 2.0.5 caused Foldermount to start acting up. I even tried 2.0.6 and 2.0.7 fresh install still no luck.

To find out what change in the update broke Foldermount with Omega 5 Rom would fix the issue of not being able to mount/green pin app data. I know there's a process to report bugs but I feel the process is a little difficult.

If you have a Galaxy S4 and do not mind installing the Omega ROM and KT-SgS4 (ktweaker) kernal; having a look at the issue with Foldermount i would surely donate some more cash for the time. Really would like to see it working again on my setup the updated version seems useful for organizational purposes but I can not use it.

UPDATE: Omega 6 just released going to try on that.
[Android Software Development] b2dj:
When i reboot my phone, all my apps are not mounted. I tried to mount it but it is not doing anything. Only white. Any help? Using 2.0.2
[Android Software Development] madmack:
i'm wondering the same thing :rolleyes: I need to get that rom to see if I can mount data. I already have the kt kernel on the wanam rom and that works just fine.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
just loaded both omega v5 and v6 with KT kernel on my s4 after a full wipe, and the pins turn green
[Android Software Development] madmack:
to those of you that have v2 not working. Can you tell me what happens when you click on the gray pin exactly, do you get a "please wait" message and then the pin stays gray or you don't get that dialog at all? Also, did you try pressing on the bottom left icon to "mount all"? Does this work, show a dialog menu with "please wait" or anything different?

I might need to gain some remote access to one of these phones that refuse to mount. If you're willing to grant me some su access remotely, let me know in pm and I'll help you set it up.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
I may be willing to do it. I had the Omega Rom and the KT Kernal and had no luck mounting/getting the green pin. Just been a little busy ill message you.

---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 AM ----------

I did the same with no luck. Also using a 64gb SD card forgot to mention. Are you using a 64gb SD card?

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

Just says please wait then goes away and no green pin :confused:
[Android Software Development] madmack:
how's your 64gb formatted as? fat32?
[Android Software Development] skivnit:
Hi madmack I'm attaching screenshots of the app to show you how fm is reporting weird stuff. So I got an ex fat formatted 64gb that's where all the games are mounted, yet all games show up in the app analyzer and my internal sd card is showing only few mb left whilst my external sd shows its used a lot of space there's some kind of wrong reporting

All pins are green and visiting app analyzer for each games it says already bound or empty
[Android Software Development] madmack:
not good. the data was not moved from your internal storage. unbind the pairs, go to the source directories, you'll see that they're still populated. Manually delete their contents after unbinding, or you can un bind and go to edit the entry in FM, then click OK, and FM will automatically move the stuff again for you and overwrite any duplicate files.

FM reported is accurate. There is no bug in there.
[Android Software Development] skivnit:
When I go to edit source folder it shows only few kbs folders as they're empty and the data is present on my external card
[Android Software Development] madmack:
hmmm.. why do all problems have to be with the S4 :rolleyes:

I seriously don't know why. I'm using the linux "df" command to give you that partition sizes tab. This utility does not report sizes of subdirectories that are binded anywhere else so this utility is either buggy (and I really am not sure how i'd fix this, specially that I can't replicate the problem locally) or it's seeing data in these folders on the original internal sdcard that you're not. Use a program like ES File Explorer to see whether these internal sdcard directories contain anything in them after unbinding.
[Android Software Development] skivnit:
When unbinding you can see the obb and data folders are almost empty
[Android Software Development] skivnit:
After unbinding and using root explorer

Regarding issues with s4.it was working all fine when you first introduced the app analyzer thing and posted the apk here then after the updates something broke
[Android Software Development] madmack:
can you go to apps analyzer and then refresh? Do this after binding obb MC4 and after unbinding it. Does the reported size change?
[Android Software Development] sasha007:
What is the charge for upgrading to pro ?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
S4 users that have v2 not working. Can you test v2.0 ? I want to narrow down the list of changes. Report if this version works or don't.

How to Pay

Quick question.. How do I switch which Google Account I will use to pay to upgrade to Pro? I tried it and it kept on selecting a specific Google Account on my device (which has no credit card linked to it)..

Another question: I'm using 1.76 (since V2 seems to be not usable on my S4 running Omega v6), upon upgrading to Pro, will it automatically upgrade to v2?
[Android Software Development] cuezaireekaa:
i have a question that i didnt seem to find here while following the thread.

if i know what folder a certain game is gonna be put in, could i make a pin with the correct source info on the internal sd, and create the destination i need it to go to on my ext sd card - would i be able to just start downloading that game from the playstore and when it installs game data(1+gb), would that data go straight to the external destination if its pinned instead of going to internal storage first and me having to send the files manually with the FM app again?

i hope you understand the question. if its not possible, nbd. love this app none the less
[Android Software Development] egingell:
That question has been addresses; nevertheless, yes it will, at least theoretically, work. If it requires a specific user (anything in /data/data, unsure about $sdcard/Android/obb), then it won't, but if you are just going from SD card to SD card, it shouldn't be a problem.

[Android Software Development] madmack:
1. go to play store, change account, redownload the app. it'll be linked with the other gmail account.

2. going premium won't upgrade you automatically to v2. you'll only get upgraded to v2 if you explicitly do it via the play store/offloading.
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
I'm installing it via an APK since if I install via Play Store, it will install V2. Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

Got it.. Uninstalled.. Reinstalled via Play Store using the correct account, uninstalled V2 from Play Store and reinstalled v1.7.6 apk.. Now billing correct Play Store account :)
[Android Software Development] madmack:
So many guys (but not all) are having gray pins with v2 in the S4 but I'm yet to either a) replicate the issue with any ROM on my device or b) have any reliable logs or someone who's willing to try my suggestions and establish frequent communication with me. I guess this issue will stay there for a while longer :rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] skivnit:
Just need to check again to install and let you know
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Another question:

I'm using 1.7.6 now, and just paid Pro for it, now how does FolderMount work alongside the "Move to SD" function in XXUBMF4-based ROMs on the S4?

This is what I do:

1. Install a big app from Play Store and download all the data file for that app

2. Use FM to move/bind to the external SD

3. Use the native "Move to SD" function in Application Manager

All apps so far are working, just want to make sure I'm doing things correctly, or is there a proper sequence on how to do this (i.e. Move to SD first before using FM, etc)

Hope I've explained things properly :)
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Move2SD and FM are independent of each other. The former moves data from /data while the latter moves arbitrary data from your choice of location, normally /sdcard.

Sent from my E4GT.
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Thanks for the prompt reply.

So I guess its safe to use both along side each other?

Is my assumption correct that whatever Move 2 SD cannot move, FM will move to the external SD?
