I have a problem with this app, I don't know if someone have the same issue. I have Xperia Z update to 4.2.2 Europe Central firmware.

Anyway when I have mount (game is in obb folder) and everything looks good, when I press "pin" button, my device reboot and pin remain gray.

EDIT: This issue seems to be root process on my phone, got fixed! Thank you kingvortex for helping me out.

I will buy your app to support you ^_^
[Android Software Development] Ashganka:
Well done ;) great app, works like charm on 4.2.2 leak S3
[Android Software Development] palmdoc:
No, I notice it happens days later. It's a brand new sd card. Thing is, it doesn't happen if FM is not running. I shall try again with fat32 as it was quite ok with it compared to exfat until one crash.
[Android Software Development] strange1712:
Ok, I thought it could be clean master memory cleaner, but it seems I need to check deeper...
[Android Software Development] siraltus:
Hey madmack,

Just dropping by to let you know you were right about the FUSE exFAT driver corrupting data on exFAT volumes in CyanogenMod.

Look at the last 9 commits here: https://code.google.com/p/exfat/source/list

This problem also affected making backups in TWRP recovery, can't wait till both CM and TWRP merge these.

Rock on!
[Android Software Development] madmack:
holy cow ! nice. Hopefully this stabilized the FUSE module somewhat. Thanks for sharing.
[Android Software Development] dschense:
I am on pa 3.94 android 4.3 and get some problems creating new mounts.. Can't choose folders from internal SD card..

Kaaaaaaaaaaaatsching
[Android Software Development] madmack:
root using SuperSU (flash via recovery v1.51) or wait for the next release :) (should be sometime later today hopefully)
[Android Software Development] siraltus:
Yeah, it was reaaaaaaaaaally bad... in TWRP, I kept getting filesystem corruption after every backup. bigbiff is merging these into TWRP now. Hopefully CyanogenMod merges them soon, too, I left them a message about this in the t0ltetmo nightlies thread. I actually went back to a 32GB FAT32 card because of it for now.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
v2.0.18 is out

Brings a few bug fixes mainly. Hopefully this should do for v4.3 devices being rooted with either SuperSU or Kaush's SuperUser apps. I was looking at google's changes in 4.3 and it's scary: we might not be able to retain these binding capabilities for too long. We're actually pretty lucky the debuggerd trick still works here due to the SELinux context permissions they gave it by default. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Software Development] siraltus:
Are you on the stock Samsung ROM or on a custom ROM? How big is the card?

I had this exact thing happening, too even long after I stopped using FolderMount. I saw people report this problem on both stock and custom ROMs, and sadly, it was always an exFAT-formatted card. It just seems exFAT is broken for some unknown reason in certain conditions (usually when there is a large amount of data already on the card). The problem goes away if you format the card and start fresh but after a week of regular use, it would start corrupting itself again.

I ended up reformatting my card to FAT32 and giving up on exFAT for now.
[Android Software Development] palmdoc:
I am in stock Rom. The problem seems to be exfat. It goes away if I stick to fat32, but even then, I have to be careful about rebooting. Seems safer to power of, then power on again or manually unmount the card first.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
if you get the option, please send the crash report so I can have a look :)

Hi [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] ! I have a problem with FM... I can't update a game! It is mounted with FM, it runs well, the pin is green obviously but I just can't update the game (via Play Store).

What I have to do before for Update it and keep the data in the external sdcard and not in the internal sdcard?

[Android Software Development] madmack:
any error messages at all?
[Android Software Development] Pretzel Kleo:
Nope... it just keep saying "Downloading" in the Play Store and nothing happens...
[Android Software Development] paulove:
Are your SD card full? I had that happen when there was no room on the card for the update.
[Android Software Development] Pretzel Kleo:
So I have to free up 2 Gigabytes for the update? It should overwrite the files otherwise imagine...

Enviado desde Samsung Galaxy S3 con Omega Rom & Boeffla Kernel usando Tapatalk 4.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Like any other updater on any other operating system, the Play Store downloads what it needs to a temporary location on the SD card prior to updating. I have never seen it done any other way. As far as I know, the /sdcard/Download folder is what it uses, you could try pairing that one to the external.
[Android Software Development] paulove:
I actually had space on internal sd but not on external, so I had to unpin the bind update the game, delete external data, and then move new data to external. I got so sick of having no space on external sd so I bought a 64gb card. :)
[Android Software Development] Savoury.Monkey:
Hey, i've recently bought your app (well, the premium key). Everything has been working fine running 4.2.2 Google Edition on my Galaxy S4.

Now that 4.3 Google Edition is out, i was about to try it. Foldermount LOOKS like it is working, but it doesn't. It copies the files to SD, appears to be mounting the folder (pin is green) but the game doesn't work and in Settings/Memories the Appdata isn't recognized.

Can you fix it? :good:
[Android Software Development] madmack:
it worked for me when i was testing 4.3

You need to see if the folders/files that are pinned show up in the source using a non-root app like Astro file explorer. If they do, then from FM perspective, everything is working fine.
[Android Software Development] daddyspud:
[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] is there any chance that u will allow u be able to allows user to go all the way to system as on cm10.1 roms the path is mnt/extsdcard/ but u cant access this path unless u type it ur self and even then it some times dont work if any of this maked sense to u

sent from my bad ass s4
[Android Software Development] Savoury.Monkey:
Ok, i tried it a couple of times now. With all imaginary possible ways of using the app.

Without any success. It looks like it's mounting a folder but it doesn't. On the internal SD everything is empty after FM copied the files to ExtSD and "mounted" the folder.

Hopefully you can look into this. Maybe it's just an issue with the Rom.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
you can already choose whatever path you want. In the file explorer, click menu > "/ path". Then navigate away.

Possible. I can load that ROM and test it given that I own a tmo s4, but I'm just not having time to do this nowadays. I'll look into it if I do. I added it to the "todo" list.
[Android Software Development] Sammath:
Would be nice if it would be fixed :) can't live w/o foldermount so im back to 4.2.2 from 4.3.

Good to see you ditched the note2 for an s4 mack :)
[Android Software Development] madmack:
yea good riddance. lol

currently own an optimus g pro as well and I'm helping port cm to it. I'll never buy an exynos chip based phone again.
[Android Software Development] Sammath:
Haha, yeah i hear ya :) im crossing my fingers that the note3 will be a snapdragon 800!
[Android Software Development] MustWarnothers:
Hey Mack, I purchased the pro version of your app since it is a really great tool. I've had very limited success in getting Foldermount to work with Google Play music. I linked the source folder which is /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/files/music to it's location on my external sd (which is mounted as /sdcard1, whereas internal SD is /sdcard0).

If I download music it properly puts it on the external SD card, and it will play it just fine. If I reboot it works temporarily, and then Google Music no longer sees the files or something. I checked and both locations show the files that Google Music is downloading (just numbered MP3's), but it just doesn't seem to stick.

Has anyone had any success with this? Do I just need to get the directory symlinked another way in order to fix this problem.

I cannot believe that Google still has this problem/lack of feature with Google Music.

**Nevermind, I see this was answered earlier and it's due to Music starting before Foldermount actually mounts the directories. Google is still inept though.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
I couldn't agree more. lol
[Android Software Development] brando56894:
Yea, I've had limited success with Play Music also, sometimes stuff gets corrupted and my downloaded music disappears from both directories :-/

Mack, is there any way to get Folder Mount to start before Play Music?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
That would require some sort of voodoo magics.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Not really. You can perhaps setup something with Tasker to run a script that "kills" the music app so that it can respawn after a reboot by a few minutes.
[Android Software Development] brando56894:
Boo, I know it's possible to do in "normal" Linux, didn't know if the same applied for Android.
[Android Software Development] targetbsp:
Hi,

I bought the premium version but it still won't let me use the premium feature I quoted above? It continues to say 'source folder is the entire obb folder! please choose subdirectories of obb instead'

It knows I have premium because 'destination folder checks' is no longer greyed out.

Using version 2.0.18 on Android 4.3
[Android Software Development] madmack:
All you need to do is uncheck that option.
[Android Software Development] targetbsp:
Oops! :D Thank you. :)
[Android Software Development] Athar Mansoor:
Hello Dev,

Just a question out of the blue. The only reason I have rooted my device is to use the FolderMount application.

I have used CF-Autoroot to root the Device. I noticed that the app works well without the SuperSU app. Would I still be required to install the SuperSU app to have FolderMount?

Sorry for the noob question, Appreciate a response on this.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
You no longer need SuperSU specifically for FolderMount to work. SuperSU was required in earlier versions of FM only and only if you were using Android 4.3. Now, any root will do with any android ROM.
[Android Software Development] Safar_Ibrahim:
Upgraded to Sony Xperia Z Ultra and got it rooted on 4.2.2

When i mount the folder, it become 0 and cant be read / write.

Busybox installed in /system/xbin
[Android Software Development] eawert:
I have pinned a couple of folders at my Xperia Z, 4.2.2 After booting the phone, FM starts mounting the folders and after a couple of seconds my phone reboots spontaneously (again and again).

What am I doing wrong?
[Android Software Development] Safar_Ibrahim:
I think this have something to do with root you did, try search in Xperia Z forum for fix.

I think the file name called - remountrebootfix-windows
[Android Software Development] rob151515:
Does this app work with 4.3? It says that its mounted OK but when I browse to the folder on my sdcard - /storage/emulated/0/Media its empty even though there are files in /storage/extSdCard/Media?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Not on the GE 4.3 ROMs. I'll need to debug that and I haven't had time. Use any AOSP based 4.3 (built from source) and it'll work.
[Android Software Development] paulove:
Hi madmack.

What is the easiest way to get back the internal folders after internal sd card wipe?
[Android Software Development] rob151515:

[Android Software Development] paulove:
Hi madmack

I have a Note 2 running slimbean 4.3 and I get the: Error: extsdcard permission. Problem fixing external sdcard ownership/permissions.

I did install connectBot but got only error message no such file or location when running command you need.

It all works after unmount/mount.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
no shortcut to that one unfortunately. You'll need to recreate all the internal sdcards manually using any file explorer for example.

delay issue. is that with a 64GB sdcard? I'll be adding an option to customize the delay on boot time so that'll definitely help your case.
[Android Software Development] Safar_Ibrahim:
Im having very similar issue with this on 4.2.2 - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Paid user here, please help!
[Android Software Development] Rasmux:
No issues so far here, only stopped by to says Thanks a lot man, i have so many games on my phone that it wouldn't be possible to have without your app and of course a 64gb card, thanks :)
[Android Software Development] madmack:
The issue you quoted cannot possibly be the same case as your Xperia phone. Follow the guidelines in the OP for a proper bug report and I'll have a look at it but you certainly don't have the 4.3 issues, because well, you're not using Android 4.3. Other xperia z users aren't having any issues except for the reboot problem which can be remedied by some root patches that r specific to your device. So the issue is most probably local to your device but I'll have a look at your logs if you submit them and see if anything is different for whatever reason.
[Android Software Development] Safar_Ibrahim:
Could that be Xperia Z and Xperia Z Ultra works different ?
[Android Software Development] paulove:
It is a 64GB card, so there is nothing I have done wrong.

I found that creating the folders on desktop was the easiest way of doing it.

Thanx, you are awesome!
[Android Software Development] Safar_Ibrahim:
The left one is mounted and the right one is the original location
[Android Software Development] Olioaglio:
Also looks like the delay mount issue to me. Have you tried to unmount and manually remount after a few seconds?

Olioaglio
[Android Software Development] Safar_Ibrahim:
Yes. Just tried that too. Didn't work. The mounted directory become not readable or writable.

---- edited

manage to get the file, due to file type not recognize, its not showing in PC. i have to email it to myself.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
your problem: exFAT. Reformat your /storage/sdcard1 to FAT32 and you should be all set.

rant: every friggin' company decides to implement their own exFAT module. We have sony making "texfat" now. Can't wait til exFAT is GPLed properly and standardized.
[Android Software Development] Safar_Ibrahim:
I cant reformat to FAT32, i have MKV movies with 8gb, is there any way you can make patch like you for Samsung S4 ?

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

Just tested with FAT32, it works. Hopefully patch will be release like S4 to support exFAT
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'm sorry but no patch will be released my friend. I never touch the exFAT driver in any device. The S4 has an exFAT module that works, yours doesn't. That is why I don't support these things that aren't standard and uniform. The patch I have for the S4 is for the fuse module, not exFAT. I never fix exFAT, not my job. I'm afraid you're stuck if you want to keep your 8gb mkvs.

Finally had time to work on FM and v2.1.0 is fresh out of the oven.

With the new delay feature mounting of my 64mb card now works flawless (set delay to 1min). Thanks for the update!

Olioaglio
[Android Software Development] paulove:
I still get the error, even on 5min.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
This doesn't fix problems that are not related to delay at boot. If previously you still got errors when you manually remounted after 1 or 2 minutes, then you'll still get them now.
[Android Software Development] paulove:
Manual remount works.

Edit

I set it to 5min and it finished mounting and error after 1:30 min.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Wow, that's not ok. Is this a custom ROM on the N7100?
[Android Software Development] paulove:
I use slimbean android 4.3.
[Android Software Development] Olioaglio:
Shouldn't it normally start mounting after 5 minutes then? It seems to ignore the set delay?! Odd. For me it works good now. Using temasek 4.3 v19 atm.

pls wen i mount any folder on xperia z d app stops working...... any solution????
[Android Software Development] Sammath:
Nice, i see you fixed ge 4.3 issues hurray!

Thanks for the continued updates.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
That ROM is definitely having an issue where an API call that I make is not registering or returning the correct value. That delay value that you set should not be ignored. It would be interesting to see if any other 4.3 ROM is doing that (a stock rom preferably). I'm not sure I should really be supporting these buggy roms. There are some workarounds to that issue, but they involve IO calls (read: costly) and I like my apps to be .. not so hacky.

FolderMount doesn't do anything until long after the phone is usable. Either you don't know what a bootloop really is or something else is wrong. Either way, you're going to need to provide [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] with more information. As long as ADB connects, which it can during a bootloop, you can get a logcat.

Hi madmack,

chenxiaolong is talking about his own "custom" patches he uses in his unofficial CM10.2 build.

you can find the tread to his own unofficial build here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2383143

Those mention patches you can find here --> https://github.com/chenxiaolong/hudson/tree/hightouchsensitivity/roms/cm-10.2

But as i already said. This foldermount error is also present in official CM 10.2 builds after 26.08 (which don't use those patches above).

So this bug cannot be related to those patches.

Maybe those post are useful for you to hunt things down:
