2.0 works on the Galaxy S4 Omega 6 ROM KT Kernal :) hopefully that's a start to finding out the problem.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

I tried to Move data with the data to SD in the settings of the ROM it only moved a few megabytes for Modern Combat 4.

Foldermount allows us to restore almost all space lost upon app install and can move a gygabite or 2 and up depending on app size. Such a great solution hope for a fix.
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Really? The v2.0 from the Play Store works? I'm on I9505 Omega v6.0 using Adam Kernel but cant make it work for me that's why I used the 1.7.6 :(
[Android Software Development] skivnit:
OK weird thing when a folder is paired, i want to edit the pair it shows as folder contains data, when I unbind it shows the folder as empty. What gives
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Yes 2.0 Foldermount installed and working. Green pin.
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Cool. I'll try the other kernel and report back
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Report back if it works with KT Kernal when you install it as its working for me. I'm going to Move my Modern Combat 4 data to confirm its recognizing app data and not trying to redownload.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
awesome. now try 2.0.1 - 2.0.5 and tell me which one exactly breaks the green pin.

v2.0.1

v2.0.2

v2.0.3

v2.0.4

v2.0.5
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Lol k one sec.

Not downloading correctly for me right now.

Are those actual download links?
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Well well.. play store just updated my copy to 2.0.5 and works!

I9505/Omega v6/KT-SGS4 kernel

But my heart skipped a beat after flashing the new kernel, all apps I moved with FM werent showing up for a few seconds until I remembered FM has a delay in mounting (maybe selecting the delay can be added a sa new feature?) :)
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Ok one last issue..

My folders on my homescreen keep on losing the apps inside them, if that app was mounted in FM, any ideas? The apps reappear in the drawer though once FM has mounted the folders
[Android Software Development] egingell:
That should only happen if the apps were moved using the built-in Apps2SD feature. FM doesn't do anything with the app itself.

Sent from my E4GT.
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Oh my bad.. I'll start moving them back then report in :)
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Nice! Apps are no longer disappearing in folders upon reboot :)
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
2.0.4 is mounting/green pin for app data. Got an error message tho when mounting on 2.0.4 thought I would include screenshots.

UPDATE

2.0.5 is finally working on Omega ROM KT Kernal. Green Pins all across the board. Going to restart the phone in a few minutes to verify it works after reboot.

It seems installing 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4, then 2.0.5 allows 2.0.5 to finally work. the BIG QUESTION is why updating to each one individually did it finally work?
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Can anyone else try going from 1.7.6 straight to 2.0.5? Thats what happened to me when PlayStore automatically updated FM and it works for me (i9505/Omega v6/KT Kernel)
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
FFS I reboot the phone and now none of my transfered files will mount/green pin again. I've been trying multiple variations and in the end get left with the same outcome. I'm feeling very discouraged and haven't used my device the way I'd like to for a few days now. I'm about to just install 2.0 and wait for a major update for Foldermount and compatability with the Galaxy S4.

Becoming more trouble then its worth lately :thumbdown: :confused:
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Wow thats weird.. Ive been rebooting several times now and FolderMount just keeps on working for me though..
[Android Software Development] bsoplinger:
I had the same error when the Play Store updated me to 2.0.3 or 2.0.5, can't remember for sure but think it was 2.0.5, on my Asus Transformer TF101 running TeamEOS ROM (Android 4.2.x).

Folders from app data or obb worked fine but my "cheater" link from /sdcard/MicroSD to /storage/sdcard1 failed. (The purpose of this link was to allow apps which insisted on only writing to /sdcard [which on my tablet is internal memory] be able to write to the microSD card.) I could only get it to work by making a folder on the card called MicroSD *and* changing the source folder from the pseudo /sdcard path to the actual /storage/emulated/0/MicroSD path. I have no idea why I had to change the source when FolderMount was complaining about the destination but that worked. It kept working in the latest version.

without someone pointing at the exact version that broke FM for the device or me being able to replicate the issue, I don't see this getting fixed. When the issue is happening on your device and a few others only, then one of you guys will need to reliably pinpoint the culprit version.

The way I'd test it is this way:

install v2.0 - Everything is working fine.

Unpin some folders (all?) from v2.0. Install v2.0.1. Pin them all again. Does it work?

Unpin some folders (all?) from v2.0.1. Install v2.0.2. Pin them all again. Does it work?

etc.

That way, you make sure that you're pinning folders using the new version number and not simply upgrading the version while the folders are still pinned without a reboot or repinning as this means that the new FM is simply only reporting the mount points which existed prior to updating the version number anyway.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
I took some extra time to figure it out.

2.0.3 WORKING Rebooting, green pin, restores setings, mounting and unmounting all working 2.0.3

2.0.4 NOT WORKING what so ever. Will not mount, unmount, green pin.

2.0.4 Broke Foldermount that is for sure. I have been testing many variations for like 3 days.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Perfect. Thank you :) Now let's see what crazy idea I implemented between these two versions that broke what was working.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Logic errors are a *****.
[Android Software Development] sasha007:
So isn't Foldermount working with S4 9500 anymore ? :eek:
[Android Software Development] egingell:
No. It works fine on the S4. It's whatever kernel/ROM they've been debugging for the past week that it doesn't play well with.
[Android Software Development] sasha007:
So it works fine with the stock (touchwiz) ROM on 9500 right ? :eek:

Also , what is the charge for upgrading to Folder mount Pro ? :confused:
[Android Software Development] egingell:
...

You can check the cost from the menu.
[Android Software Development] sasha007:
So it works fine with the stock (touchwiz) ROM on 9500 right ? :confused:
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Yes it will work
[Android Software Development] madmack:
This one bug makes no sense at all to me. I've been looking at the code today and I changed nothing in the code between versions 2.0.3-2.0.4 that gets executed when you click on the PINs. I mean, NOTHING. You're pretty sure that 2.0.3 worked and 2.0.4 didn't right? I'm only asking because I need this narrowed down as much as possible. The changes I made between these two versions are related to the file explorer and some added handling of cases where the sdcard gets mounted/unmounted manually by the user from the android settings menu. I doubt these are affecting you. Besides, the "unmounting all" notification should appear in the status bar if this is indeed what is happening but I doubt it because no one mentioned the top status bar notification error.

It's gonna get ugly for you testers out there. Unfortunately there isn't a solid point in code where I can just pinpoint and say "this is it". I'm reverting two changes that I made and I will submit the apks here to test. I know it's a pain to ask you to test more APKs but if you guys want this fixed, then I'm afraid we have no way around it.

Please test these two APKs this one APK.. I mean, thoroughly ! Unpin, Pin, Reboot, whatever you need to do to make sure whether it's broken or functional. Let me know the outcome. I might throw more APKs out if this doesn't work.
[Android Software Development] jenellej:
Bro how do I disable autoupdate from within the app? 2.0.5 is fully working for me and it may bork out if an update is released in the Playstore :)

For now I temporarily disabled all updates within the Playstore
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
I had the Unmounting All notification twice last night when testing 2.0-2.0.5

The unmounting error was on 2.0.4 and then on 2.0.5 right after I installed it. Fully unmounted my SD card Idk why Foldermount would force an unmount of my SD card

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

WOHOOOOOOO LMFAO YES THIS UPDATE ACTUALLY IS WORKING.

I can mount,unmount, green pin, mount all. Restarted the phone and its still working. I Updated from 2.0.3 to 2.0.8 I'm going to check if a fresh install works also.

Omega 6 ROM and KT Kernal

Keep up the great work and thanks a lot for your time in working on this issue. I'm willing to do more testing.

What change did you make in 2.0.8 to get it working again?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
You serious? In the broken 2.0.4 and 2.0.5, was your extSdCard unmounted after attempting to pin your folders with FM? If you navigate to /storage/extSdCard with Astro or ES File Explorer, do you see anything in there?
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Yes I am 100% on it. I stated when it first started that it was unmounting my SD card when I would check with ES File Explorer. It was not until yesterday when you asked me to test 2.0-2.0.5 when I actually got the unmounting notification which got me thinking the unmounting caused by FolderMount when trying to get green pin may be related.

Sounds like we've finally gotten somewhere with this problem and working around it. Let me know if this info helps and as I said I'm willing to do more testing.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I screwed up. I found the problem. How ? I rebooted my omega 6 rom today and guess what? pins don't turn green. Some users definitely got their debuggerd script overwritten. I'm going to attempt to fix this screw up with the next release and make sure that debuggerd script is backed up safely. f(&#(&#$ logic errors and race conditions.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Sounds great :)

Sounds like its been a headache on both sides. I haven't played any games, used my phone regularly sense this started I've reflashed Roms and kernals probably 25 times very time consuming. Glad the S4 is so quick or it would have been a MUCH slower process.

Thanks again for all your help much appreciated for sure.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
v2.0.9 is in OP. Changelog in website and OP. This should take care of that pins stay gray for all S4 users.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Everything working as it should.

i have XZL on 4.2.2 rooted and busybox installed, but when i pin the folder my XZL getting blank and nothing happen until i turn it on.

any suggestion ?
[Android Software Development] munmun:
I just want to ask a noob question that if I mount my titanium backup folder from sd to external sd card using this app then where will the backup of my nxt or future apps will go??

Will they go in sd card where we see a image or fake titanium folder or in the ex-sd card where all the files are actually moved??

Can I mount my whole android folder from sd to ex-sd? Will it be safe?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
a&b) The destination folder.

c&d) Yes.

note) You do know that you can change TiB's backup location in its settings, right?

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

I have no idea what you just said - "getting blank and nothing happen until i turn it on" - what does that even mean?
[Android Software Development] kickthefreak:
same with me, i dont know what to do, now i cant play my game :crying:
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Oy.

^ This part makes sense.

^ This part is baffling. What is blank? Nothing is happening where? Until you turn what on?

^ Suggestion: Read the OP and follow the directions on how to submit a problem.
[Android Software Development] kickthefreak:
yes i have read email from Ali and send him the logcat.

thanks
[Android Software Development] siraltus:
Just installed 2.0.9, the 100-second delay for automount on boot is gone! Mounts all pairs within 10 seconds of the phone completing boot. It also mounts everything 2-3 times faster than before. Thank you! :victory:
[Android Software Development] e154037:
My experience with FolderMount is not so great as many reported:

It never work on my ASUS TF101 in JB4.2.2 (EOS4). I tried two versions (v1.7.2 and v2.0.5) without a success. I tried to make a link with source= /storage/emulated/0/testd and destination=/storage/sdcard1/tested, FolderMount allow me to define and activate the link, and the link is visible in my file explorer but the files and folders inside cannot be accessed unless I turn on the "Root" setting in the explorer. And in the notification area, I see the following message from FolderMount:

Error.extSdCard permission

Problem fixing external sdcard ownership/permission
[Android Software Development] madmack:
sounds like exactly just that.. a permission issue that FM isn't able to correct. You can attach the mount output of your device for me to verify that for you if you want. Follow instructions on how to file a bug report in the OP.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
No, FolderMount is created to address low memory on internal storage and not on /data/data.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Delete all the pairs, download v t2 a few pages back and try again.
[Android Software Development] RivaultUser:
why dont you put it in the play store? so we can get updates?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
it's not ready yet. I don't wanna put a half finished job out there. It'll be soon though; Probably when I get that on boot option going.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Get v0.1.2b from the OP and see if your problems are gone.

My initial suspicion was on the money. Somehow, CM10.1 is not using fuse to merge your internal sdcard with the /data partition. For you, your device looks like you got two external sdcards installed. if you go to /data/media/0 you'll see that this folder is empty.

In any case, that version should hopefully take care of these cases. As long as your sdcard mount link contains the words "sdcard0", then FolderMount will figure out the rest.
[Android Software Development] Joecascio2000:
Why this? I did this on v0.1.1b and it worked perfectly.
[Android Software Development] moliverac8:
It's normal to could only have three mounts?

[Android Software Development] madmack:
It actually didn't work for a few others. I got I believe three reporting failed "obb" bindings here on the thread.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Si. Limitation of the free app. Premium (unlimited pairs) should be out soon on the Play Store. :good:
[Android Software Development] moliverac8:
I can purchase it cause I don't have Google wallet, can you upload to androidpit?

Enviado desde mi GT-P3110 usando Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] madmack:
hmm.. I'll look into my options. I need to research for reliable alternatives.
[Android Software Development] Joecascio2000:
Maybe it didn't work because all of the files weren't moved over already? I was using a script before to mount bind the two folders so all my /obb/ data was already moved over. Maybe that's why it worked for me? Can you please look into the matter a little more? I would really like the option to mount the whole /obb folder.

Also, maybe just add a warning that says mounting the whole obb folder is not recommend, and may not work, but still allow it.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'll look into it .
[Android Software Development] sasikumardr:
I have deleted pair. Upgraded app to new version. added new pair (subdirectory of obb). Still no luck :(

[Android Software Development] madmack:
Are you getting the "processing" dialog? How long does it take (approximately) before it goes out?

Verify this coz it's not clear to me: you're clicking on the pin, dialog appears, disappears and you're left with a gray pin? Did you try clicking on the pin again?
[Android Software Development] butler0607:
After having NFL Pro crash on me after its data file was mounted on the USB, I tried it with a different Gameloft game.

Still got the same problem; the app just crashes when the mount is active.

Original mount.text files are 2 pages back. Any ideas of how to fix these issues?
[Android Software Development] racer321:
New version

The newest version of the app does not seem to work with obb folders on my nexus 7, the mounting does not happen and the pin stays green when pressed. When I install the older version it works fine :) When I open destination on the new version of your app it does not go straight to my OTG. I suspect this is because AOKP Roms mount the OTG on /storage/usbdisk/

Thanks for your work :)
[Android Software Development] butler0607:
Which version have you had success with? I haven't got any to work yet so would be good to know what should work with the nexus 7 set up :)
[Android Software Development] madmack:
my bad. get v0.1.2b again from the OP and test please. The old one had a minor typo :|
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Judging by the previous mount files, you're not mounting the correct folders. Please put in your OTG usb disk, delete all pairs, and then create the new pairs again. FolderMount should lock your destination folder to your mounted stick and the mounting should now work. If you've downloaded the latest from the OP, redownload it again coz it had a minor bug where obb folders weren't getting mounted correctly.
[Android Software Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
Quick question. Using FolderMount 2.09 Paid version with my Sprint S4. I have 8 games set up. After reboot it takes 40 seconds to mount. Makes no difference in time if I have the destination folder checks checked or unchecked. Is this normal for you other S4 users? Thanks

I've already find a way to make FM work on my tablet in JB4.2.2(EOS4). After I removed directory link for " /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /Removable/MicroSD", FM works ok. I've alreay bought the pro version. Thank you for your FM, please keep on the good work.

In my case, it seems that there were conflict between directory link made in FM and outside FM, which make FM fail when it try to change ownership and permission. Is this understanding correct?.
[Android Software Development] bsoplinger:
I didn't think it was possible to make bindings like that in Android 4.2+ except via the debuggerd trick. Where did that link come from? And how did you remove it?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
[Android Software Development] e154037:
I did the link 'Removable/MicroSD' myself. It is established at boot through Tasker. To remove it, I just remove the shell command from coresponding task.
[Android Software Development] bsoplinger:
Do you mean link as in "ln" or binding as in "mount --bind" when you mention Tasker running a script?

[Android Software Development] e154037:
I meam mount, not symlink.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
I think he means "mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /Removable/MicroSD". Not "mount -o bind /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /Removable/MicroSD", since you can't bind a device to a folder, only a folder to a folder or a file to a file.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Guys, will be super busy again (and have limited Internet access) until July 7th. I should be a lot freer then. Just a heads up :)

40s is normal. FM makes sure the external SD is accessible (and remountable, if necessary) before binding all pairs.

obb directories should work fine. All others aren't supported atm. It's planned though.

You should still be getting that permission error messages unless removing your custom link allowed FM to remount the vold device with the correct permissions . I'm happy to know that FM was able to correctly determine the path of your extSdCard even though you're confusing it with your custom bind of the mmc block device.
[Android Software Development] pyler:
if there is no folder pairs, there shouldnt be any notification ("Mounting all folders") after device boot.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
It also says that it failed. Which means that it failed to do nothing - which, I guess, is a good thing. :p
[Android Software Development] enkryptik:
I'm sorry if this has been covered. I am reading through posts now but I just bought this because the free version worked nice. Well I've been buying humble bundles and went to try this and found out that some of the APK files are GIGANTIC!. Is there a way to bind data\app or anything? Aquaria is 515MB apk file in that directory and Broken Sword Director's Cut is a 540.87MB apk.

I'm not too familiar with FolderMount except for the basics but now I need to find solutions for the above.
[Android Software Development] maxver0:
Any solution to this? Also Nova 3 doesn't work. It says I need more space. MC4 and NFS is working fine.
[Android Software Development] bsoplinger:
You want link2SD for that. Basically you'll create a second partition on the external card and link2SD will move the app to that partition and create a link to the moved app back to its original location. Similar to what FolderMount does with directories. The thread here at XDA has instructions for everything including making that second partition. I've used the combo on two different Android devices quite successfully. I have a 4Gb partition on a 64Gb microSDXC card in my HTC Evo View 4G (same as HTC Flyer) letting me have 900+ apps along with 10Gb of music and book files and another 10 of comics and lots of videos and so on with plenty of storage still available.

Simple rule: FolderMount for data, link2SD for apk files.

Newbie question

Been trying to read through the posts and haven't found this yet...New GS4 on Verizon, stock rom with root access. Downloaded foldermount and ran the app. Get the message

FolderMount had detected a faulty module in your Samsung Galaxy phone. FolderMount will NOT work properly with it. Would you like me to attempt to repair that fault?

(You must reboot your device after i am done to complete the repair)

Is this normal and should i accept or cancel?
[Android Software Development] Pretzel Kleo:
What should I do for update an app that is already mounted in my extSdCard by FolderMount:confused:
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Well sense all your game data is linked to Foldermount i'd assume it would store game Data right on the extSD card. Foldermount basicly tricks the phone to recognize the data being stored on the external SD card instead of the internal SD card.

I think the developer thought of that when designing Foldermount. I do updates all the time. Just MAKE SURE Foldermount has green pin/mounted the game data or app data before updating. If I'm wrong about this someone correct me.
[Android Software Development] Pretzel Kleo:
So you're saying that the data will be updated withouth problems even if it is linked with FolderMount in the extSdCard?
[Android Software Development] BradleyR2010:
exactly, ive updated ShadowGun yesterday without issues :)
