Strange errors when trying to move apps.

I was using this without issue on the stock Samsung S4 i9505 ROM but since moving to CM10.1 I find that I get strange errors.

For example I can move and mount Gameloft's Modern Combat 4 but EA's Real Racing 3 fails repeatedly when attempting to move files. I've tried to manually copy but get errors which appear permissions related (the terminal says "out of memory" when running cp even though I am su).

The card is a samsung 64GB sdxc running exFAT which is recognised fine from the ROM. Any idea what is happening here?

I've bought the Pro version which was working fine until recently, would appreciate any hints.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Maybe you are indeed out of space in the /storage/sdcard1 directory ? From my experience though, CM's support for exFAT is still buggy so that could very well be the reason as well.
[Android Software Development] belrik:
I have 20GB free so I guess it could be exfat. Would ext4 produce better results?

[Android Software Development] madmack:
Not sure as I haven't tested it myself. I do know that FAT32 works flawlessly if all your files are < 4GB in size.
[Android Software Development] brando56894:
Yea I saw the warning and it was about not being able to copy stuff because it doesn't have write access to that partition, I mounted it r/w and it still gives the unknown error. After a reboot I got the redirection to work so everything works fine now :D
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Write permission and r/w are not the same.

Sent from my SGS4.
[Android Software Development] brando56894:
I know that, but if the app is running with root permissions and the partition is mounted r/w then theoretically it should be able to write to it, or am I missing something?

Bought this app but it is not working with obb folder in the SGS4 Mini.

The path to the sdcard partition is /storage/emulated/legacy/

Then I choose the Android folder then the obb... Am I doing something wrong? Does this is the wrong path to the internal sdcard card partition? In the /mnt there is no sdcard partition...

Please help, I don't want to waste 2€ in this app and it doesn't work :(
[Android Software Development] egingell:
/storage/emulated/0 is the one that work on my not-mini.

EDIT: managed to get it to work, thanks for the help :) keep the good work developer :)
[Android Software Development] mikep2323:
I am having the same problem as you and i think it has to do with the lastest update,i think.I havent had a problem moving files around or deleting them but it seems after i did the last update im having problems.I wrote the develpoper to see if he can send me a older version of it.Ill keep you posted on how i fix it cause i will figure it out.

So i just took my sd card out and tried to delete files and they deleted but as soon as i pull out sd card and put it back in the files come back.Weird never had this happen to me before so not sure if it is the app.Ill keep you posted when i figure out.I might try to reformatt but i have 45 gb worth of game data and dont think i wanna keep moving it around.
[Android Software Development] Magissia:
/storage/emulated/legacy isn't internal ? :)

Did you try to look at /mnt/extSdcard/ :)

Note II CM10.1 FolderMount issues

Hi madmack,

First thanks for the great app.

I bought the Pro license a couple of days ago. But unfortunately the app is not working on my Galaxy Note II.

It is indeed mounting the folders under /data/media/0, but they are not visible under the symlink /sdcard and so the apps cannot access them.

I tried with different 4.2.2 ROMs, I have always the same result - no folder content is visible under /sdcard, despite that it is mounted under /emulated

How do I fix this issue?

Waiting on your reply
[Android Software Development] newarkoz:
It is internal but it couldn't access the obb folder in Android. It wouldn't link the folder to the extSdcard. But in the /storage/emulated/0 it works good. Don't know why but if it works it is good to me ;)

My problem was finding the right folder to internal sdcard not the external.
[Android Software Development] Magissia:
You want to move internal data to another internal place ? I don't see the point.

Good luck comrade.

Google's implementation of emulated storage is buggy at best. The real location is /data/media/0 and is actually EXT4 formatted.

I'll try that,should I reformatt in the computer then?Or should I try to reformat in the tablet.I've been searching forums for hours and can't find a reason on why I can't delete stuff off SD card.I saw a lot of people getting errors but I'm not getting errors all the time.When I try to delete stuff it deletes but when I reboot tablet it comes back.I also can't put anything new on the SD card.I thought it might be permissions but it does it on my computer also.I can move the stuff off so I'll move everything to computer and reformat.
[Android Software Development] belrik:
Yeah, I copied the stuff off and used "sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1"

That solved it for me. I think the vfat-tools are included by default on most desktops.

Just purchased your app today because it is just too awesome to exist. Hatsoff man!! Keep up the great work :)
[Android Software Development] mikep2323:
I've tried 3 different format tools and none are working. I think my SD card went bad somehow. One of the tools said it was write protected, but the switch isn't in the locked position. ANOTHER keeps giving me a error. I guess I'll have to buy another one.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
I had that problem with my old 16GB card - I could read from it and if I remounted r/w via Root explorer, I could write to it for a short time, but Windows refused to fix errors and/or format it since it was registering as r/o. I suspect Swapper thrashed it, though I have no concrete evidence of that.

So if you saw my posts earlier I was having problems with SD card so I went and got another one.I popped it in and tablet doesn't see it.My girl has same tablet but not rooted and custom ROM and I put it in hers and it works fine and sees it.The folder mount app notification pops up and says something.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

Should I uninstall foldermount and put card in and start over?I remember when I put a new one in last time it asked me to format and I did and it worked fine.Its the sandisk 64 GB card.

Files wont move

Hey guys. So I put this on my Huawei u8650 running Cyanogen 7.2 which is a modded Android 2.3.7 and it doesn't want to move the files. I go to the Apps analizer, select an app, create pair, it asks if it wants to create a destination folder automatically and I say Yes. But it doesn't create one. And no matter where I try to put it, it says "Your source directory is not empty. Would you like me to move the files to the destination (and possibly overwrite destination files?)". Doesnt matter if I say yes or no, it tries to move it and it fails. So I try to add a folder with the app and it says "Create folder failed. Permission problem?" no matter where I try to make a folder. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? I put it on my friends S4 that I rooted and it works perfect on that. Thanks
[Android Software Development] brando56894:
Since this app is so awesome, I bought the pay version :) I know it says that the free version has limitations with the android/obb and android/data folders, but I still can't relocate them even with the paid version. Even after a reboot.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Are you manually moving them? Because it's kind of important.

Sent from my SGS4.
[Android Software Development] mikep2323:
I might be wrong with this but might be right.You should try directory bind.I think this app is geared more towards android 4.2.1 and 4.2.2.Your android version is old and I'm pretty sure this app is for newer android.If I were you I would try directory bind.Its the same concept but for older systems.I use to use that before jellybean and it worked great.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Yea, don't choose that. Choose whatever folder FM drops you to and navigate in these subfolders to choose your obb folder. In the S4, your obb folder should be displayed as /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb.

Seems like your version of CM has borked the sdcard permissions. If a regular non-root app (such as Astro file explorer) is unable to create folders and delete them, then FM won't be able to either. If that is the case, I highly suggest changing the ROM.

You need to disable the "destination folder checks" in the settings menu. Then just navigate to the Android/obb subfolder once you click on the "Source" when creating a new pair.
[Android Software Development] PLUG313:

[Android Software Development] Dovidhalevi:
On older phones (only external sdcard), /data (including /data/data) IS internal storage.

FolderMount only moves and binds from internal sdcard to external sdcard?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
correct.

on my device and quite a few out there, we have an internal SD card (8,16,32GB) and an external (usually up to 64GB). Believe it or not, the internal SD can get full quite easy with a few games and offline navigation apps so we use the external bigger (in my case, 64GB card) to free up internal sd space.

in the new versions of android (4.1 +). /data/data and /data/media are in the same partition. Android uses FUSE to merge both of them so they look like one partition. To us, apps that fill /data/data are like apps that fill the itnernal sd card. They use the same storage space.

My app is also apparently useful for Nexus devices given Google's "stubbornness" in giving us a nexus device with the ability to add our external sdcard. FolderMount is useful here because they can mount external flash drives (via USB) and free up the internal sdcard memory.
[Android Software Development] DarkManX4lf:
So if I wanted to create more than a three mounts I would need the paid version?

When I go to the play store for the paid version it say I already have it installed.... I guess I have to un install to buy the full version?
[Android Software Development] sasikumardr:
Hey this 0.2b version solved my issues.. Now its working fine.. Count me in for play store purchase :cool:
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Oui, Si.

The app is not in the play store yet. Once it's there, it'll be "free" but if you'll have an option in the app to go "premium" and unlock the number of pairs and other options.

This is awesome. You were practically the last member that couldn't get FolderMount to work so this is welcoming news. We're ready for the play store release once I figure out how that in-app billing thing in the UI (shouldn't be too long).
[Android Software Development] rotaryheadrx7:
Great app! Been using a mix of methods but this is much simpler and easy. I don't need more pairs or options but will buy the premium when its available. Thanks for stepping up.

Just to let you know guys I'm running Paranoid Android 4.3 Rom on teh LTE version of the Galaxy Note 2 and Fouldermount is still working perfectly.

I half expected the OS update to break compatibility but I was pleasantly surprised. :good:
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Thanks for confirming. It's good to know :) You're rooted with Chainfire's latest SuperSU ?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
v2.0.17 is out.
[Android Software Development] brando56894:
Even though you list that Android 4.3 isn't supported I have it running on my S4 with CM 10.2 and the only thing that doesn't work is when you initially go to Select Folder it says "unknown error". When I try to select my internal SD card (/storage/emulated/0) there is no 0 folder under /storage/emulated, my external sdcard shows up perfectly though. I purchased the pro version because it's an extremely useful app but it kind of sucks that I can't really use it in Android 4.3.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
You could try /data/media/0 instead.

Sent from my SGS4.
[Android Software Development] brando56894:
Yep that worked, thanks!

Edit: well it worked so I could see the directory, but when I try to save the path it says "error: source must be your internal sdcard!" I also tried to bind /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music to /storage/sdcard1/google-music and it allows me to do it, but the pair doesn't show up in my list.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
if that's the only issue and pairing stuff in /data/media works, then that's an easy fix.

are you using SuperSU by Chainfire? Use the latest version and I believe even that issue will be resolved based on what I'm reading.
[Android Software Development] egingell:

[Android Software Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

I bought this app but whatever i try to set up, the list of pairs stays empty. i read that even when the list of pairs is empty the app works. so i gave it a try but nothing gets mounted after reboot. I believe it's not working. Directory checking is off. I'm not trying any difficult, just mounting a folder in the root of my internal SD to external SD. I let Folder Mount choose the destination. My phone is a Galaxy Mega.
[Android Software Development] baileyjr:
Yes the 1.51 update.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I missed something when I released the latest version. Stupid little bug that will get fixed with the next version. Do you have the play store app installed? Try rebooting and then launching FM immediately if you do have the play store app and are connected online. It should be your workaround until the next release is out.

This is most likely why it works just fine for you. I'm receiving some reports of it giving errors when navigating to source but I guess they're not using the latest su by chainfire.
[Android Software Development] strange1712:
Hi, bought your app from PlayStore, but I don't know when, it just stopped working fine.

It won't tell me anything but once I tried to play GTA it wanted to download again its files, so I checked FM and all the "pins" were gray... Clicked on the pin and it worked, my games were detecting data the right way...

BUT, the next day it happened again.

Now, every time I check, the pins are Gray and I have to click the pin if I want to play some of my games.

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

Nobody seems to have this problem (Altough, thread is tooo large to read, but in the last 10 pages nobody seems to be having this issue)

[Android Software Development] madmack:
Seems like a bug with the ROM and/or another app that is actively un-mounting all vold paths after some idle time. Get rid of any task managers/killers/memory optimizers/battery savers and try again. If that fails, try a different ROM. The app is tested with S3 and should work fine.

Damn. Seems like Huawei isn't using the appropriate sdcard mappings in their ROM. Is this an official Huawei ROM or a third party baked ROM ? There is a simple API call in Android that returns whether the sdcard is emulated or not, in your case, it is emulated but the API is returning that it is not.

I have the same problem. Root isnt denied for foldermount (in superuser app). Can someone help? I'm also using an S4 (i9505).
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Nothing much indeed. These "sdcard paths" apps look for anything mounted on your vold path (external sdcard path) and now that you have FM mounting folders to it, they'll show as well.

No idea man. Not sure what TitaniumBackup is doing. I don't have that issue.

No idea why you guys are having problems. FM isn't using any unique or rare method to access ROOT, it's done using an external library that many apps do use and do work fine with root. Can't help you guys because I can't replicate it.

This one issue is a b****. I'm going to try to fix it, keep an eye for the changelog. No ETA as it is low in my priority list atm.

When does the corruption happen exactly? As soon as you mount? Maybe the sdcard's quality is degrading ? :(
