Force Stop Whatsapp if you can't unmount the folder.

[Android Software Development] daniello8:
Amazing .. IMO FolderMount should notice new files in the source folder and move them to target by itself. madmack .. can you confirm that this can happen .. or even better .. please fix if this is the case. It really s*cks if you want to show pictures to someone but can't access the higher resolutions :(

BTW .. I'm simply using the Playstore version.
[Android Software Development] tchibeck:
Hi there,

I just would like FolderMount to be able (one day or onather), to work properly with Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge (or s7).

S7 Edge does NOT like a SDXC Card to be formatted in FAT32.

When such a card is formatted in FAT32, the card is no more detected by Windows or Ubuntu, when s7 is plugged USB, because the normal way of working, for those cards, is to be exFAT.

When i bought FolderMount for my previous Note 3 (rooted) with 128 Go SDXC Card formatted in exFAT, it worked perfectly. Same with my Tablet Galaxy Pro 8.4 rooted, SDXC 128 Go.

It's not normal to ask s7 &s7 Edge owners to adapt their phone to make a BETA release.... not work but brick the phone.

Of course, it has to be rooted.

But nothing else.

Of course i understand it could take time to make a stable version of FolderMount for s7 (Edge or not) and i'll be able to be patient.

But it's unfair to ask people to make their SDXC Card beeing formatted FAT32.

This phone doesn't work well with SDXC Card re-formatted in FAT32.

I'll be able to wait the time it'll take.

I'm able to re-pay for a special stable version for s7 Edge.

BUT, please, ... do make a version compatible Samsung s7 (Edge).

Considering the huges amount of s7 sold in only one month, people are going to have a strong expectation of such a version from you madmack
[Android Software Development] the_brad:
Yes, needs to be fixed, but please make it optional (maybe default activated). This is the only way to trick my album app...

Btw, moving files is optional, too. You are asked to, but not forced. [emoji6]

Aren't you negating what FM is acutally meant for? Did you check the gallery cleanup checkbox?

Somehow... yes. But that is the only workaround, that worked for me. Yes, I tried the gallery cleanup option, can't trick sonys app.

[Android Software Development] PieceKeepr:
When FolderMount loads I get a message that my Mega download folder fails to load. If I use Root Explorer to check the folders I can tell that it did successfully mount. Any idea what would cause this?

I've tried deleting the FolderMount data and restoring the pairs from a FolderMount backup but it didn't change anything. I'm using v2.9.2b.

EDIT: [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION], I got all the folders working but one. It seems that FolderMount v2.9.2b has an issue with multi-word folder names. I have a Sony app for my camera and it insists on calling the folder PlayMemories Mobile. If I take the "mobile" off the pair mounts fine but then the app creates a new folder with the original name so that doesn't work.

Also, while trying to get this sorted out I noticed a couple of things that others have mentioned before. It won't automatically create a destination folder and it is either moving files at a frozen snail's pace or not at all.

Just FYI, and thanks for the work!

I have mounted /storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Media to /storage/sdcard1/WhatsApp/Media. Is this correct?[/QUOTE]

[quote name="Gmobilize" post=66144776]having the same problem on the same phone, i am on marshmallow, on lollipop things were easy.

Somewhere (I don't remember where) it was mentioned that if you want to mount whatsapp, you should mount the whole Whatsapp/ directory, not only the /Media/ one.

Here is the solution for all your worries in Mashmelow.. Working fine for me. Had problems in xperia z2 with whatsapp.. Not any more.. Use "/path " option on top right

Use /mnt... Path.. See attached will work for any app hopefully..

I installed this and I'm using phh's Superuser (a fork of koush's Superuser) for Marshmallow (CM13) and it works. I don't have SuperSU on this phone. So I'm not sure why the dev said it requires SuperSU.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
If it works, you don't need to worry about it. Though, he has stated exactly why in a previous post.

Well... It did work, but after a reboot, it forced me install SuperSU and refused to work. [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] is it possible to add an exception for phh's Superuser?
[Android Software Development] tchibeck:
Would appreciate to know if the developer intent to make it work on Samsung s7 family, without asking formatting a 200Gb SDXC card in FAT32, and install a beta version that bricks the phone or if he definitely don't work to port it to s7 and s7 Edge?

I'm not complaining... Just would like to be kept informed.

To know wether I wait patiently or I resell my useless phone?

[Android Software Development] daniello8:
I wonder what will happen to this app in the future. All links in op to devasque.com are outdated and madmack is quite quiet. Will FM have continued support? Will 6.x be officially supported? Will the app be improved to be reliable with e.g. Whatsapp? What's the plan?

I would really appreciate some short feedback of this .. not asking for ETAs and stuff.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Maybe he is busy working on a fix
[Android Software Development] daniello8:
That would also be a good information. But as I had written .. I am not asking for ETAs .. it just seems to me that madmacks priorities may have shifted, which is perfectly fine but should somehow be communicated. May people rely on FM (including me) ;)
[Android Software Development] AlAneed:
I applied the fix for faulty module v2.9.2b on my N910C Note 4, 6.0.1 and I got a bootloop. BTW, my microsd is in exFat format.

You better not to try it cuz you may have to format the internal storage.

Waiting for the fixed version. Thanks,
[Android Software Development] AlAneed:
I have a habit where I always switch off the wifi and 3g before restart. In case media files are downloaded I disable FolderMount and go to the internal storage, cut the files in the media folder then paste it in the similar folder in the external storage. After that I enable foldermount and everything should be OK.
[Android Software Development] pritamdutt:
I use samsung device. When i install foldermount and open it, it says to patch something. Everything works as needed but after reboot, the apps installed on external sd card seems to show up very late in system. I think its due to that patch. cause before patch, its fine. I need this app very much but due to this problem, i am not able to use it.
[Android Software Development] fipsy:
As I mentioned earlier in this thread foldermount doesn't patch anything on my Galaxy S3 with CM11. Obviously CM11 already has everything on-board that foldermount needs. And it works like a charm since I formatted the external sdcard with ext4. exFAT is absolute rubbish on android! Since it works with ext4 there are also no more errors when copying large amounts of data from or to the external sdcard or when playing full HD videos from the external sdcard to chromecast. I strongly advise against formatting sdcards with exFAT on android. The andoid exFAT drivers seem to be quite buggy.
[Android Software Development] zzztidurvirus:
not exFAT? How to format to FAT32 on a 64gb or even 128gb card? Windows keep telling to reformat back to exFAT everytime I finish using Minitool Partition. Or do I really need to do 32gb of FAT32 + 32gb of Ext4 for Link2SD just for the sake of Folder Mount? This combo does make Folder Mount work.

Hi , I have a question folder mount 2.9.2b is working with G900F MM 6.0.1 ? Because I get a bootloop
[Android Software Development] tchibeck:
This 2.9.2b release had almost bricked my phone. (SM-G935F)

I had to reflash a fresh stock rom. And now i wait a real stable version, before re-root and try again.

Thanks mate
[Android Software Development] fluffi444:
I switched my brain on and made a script solution for me for init.d (only for init.d). Root while booting need.

This works on 5.1.1 - Dont know if 6.0.1 can handle this commands (for Airplanemode)

Make init.d scrit of this and put empty file MOUNTED to external SD Card (were the files are saved) into folder.

In my script its WhatsApp folder moved to external SD card.

Sorry - no support for init.d (and how to get it work) here. Please google.

Whats does this do?

It activats Airplanemode as soon system is almost booted - I took process com.android.systemui as trigger.

Then its checks original folder location (here WhatsApp on internal SD) untill MOUNTED shows up.

Then Airplanemode is deactived and Wifi/3G is on again.

#!/system/bin/sh -x
# check systemui start
while true
do
pgrep com.android.systemui && break
sleep 1
done

# airplane mode ON
settings put global airplane_mode_on 1
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state true

# check mounting
while true
do
[ -f /storage/emulated/legacy/WhatsApp/MOUNTED ] && break
sleep 5
done

# airplane mode OFF
settings put global airplane_mode_on 0
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez state false
echo "MOUNTED done at $(date)" > /data/mounted.log
#

Fell free to correct this or give me hints to optimize... ;)
[Android Software Development] PVL_93_RU:
Really would like to know this as well but I guess the support should be added soon. There's not a lot of devices with SD cards and Marshmallow firmware (pretty much a few Galaxy devices, LG G4 and G5, a few Xperia devices and that's it), and Lollipop update also took some time to come out.

If you have the urge to free up some storage/manage it I'd suggest using Adoptable Storage for now, that's what I did for my Xperia since I can't move app caches to SD card yet via FM
[Android Software Development] daniello8:
Thanks! IMO adoptable storage isn't what it should be yet since you still have to shift apps manually. As soon as Android simulates a linear memory space over internal and external memory and gives me some means to access that memory from Windows (surely there are ways) I'm in.
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
Have no heard anything from the developer. He could be busy or hard at work on a fix.

Possibly he gave up and abandoned the project. Hope not.
[Android Software Development] tchibeck:
Please don't forget the S7 family, (S7 Edge), on which, (and probably on all Samsung with SD beeing updated to Marshamallow, the SD Card is not mounted in /mnt repertory but in /storage/XXXX-XXXX, where "Xs" are hexadecimal erratic figures supposed to be the name of the card :(

Have read some pages ahead that [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] had a server crash. So he could be in a huge work to restore.

On my 6.0 Sony Xperia Z5 with foldermount 2.9.2b everything works fine

I used mnt first but then foldermount couldn't write on external sd. Then I took storage/8099-0B02 and moved all files to SD with foldermount.

Guys.. My first choice is FolderMount.. but since I have an S7 I cannot get it to work properly..... has anyone gotten folder mounts to work with apps2sd (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd) on Marshmallow? on an S7?

I hope no one gets upset of me posting this in here... I only do it because I can't get FM to work yet....

[Android Software Development] tchibeck:
App2SD almost bricked my S7 Edge exactly like Foldmount did.

Forcing me to reflsah a fresh stock rom, and re-root, and.... again and again.

So i've decided not to root anymore.

No more CF-Auto-root, nor TWRP and SU, till one of those two Apps that i've bought will be stable on s7 Edge.

[Android Software Development] Rougz:
Hello guys !

I'm trying to link an application (Hearthstone) on my SD card because some I don't have enough space on my internal storage to download all the datas.

In order to do so I downloaded FolderMount and tried to create a pair between the file /data/data/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone and the folder I created on my SD Card.

However, when I try to create the link , I got an unknown error and when I try to fill automatically the destination, it tells me "Error : Source must be your internal SD card". And when i'm in SDcard0, FolderMount did not display any folder but they are here !

I don't know what to do anymore ! I created a pair already maybe two month ago but I had to reboot my phone and now it's not working anymore !

Can you guys help me ?

Thank you : )
[Android Software Development] egingell:
This has been covered many times. Disable folder checks and, since the source is in protected space, you must move the existing files yourself using a root file manager.

[Android Software Development] Rougz:
Thank you for your answer and sorry for the newbie question ! I kinda start to root my phone and stuff and those 325 pages of thread were too much !

Also, I have another question. You say that I have to deplace directly my file to the internal SD card myself with a file manager (such as FileExplorer or RootBrower?).

However, when I tap on the Source in FM I have the path Storage/sdcard0 so I should be at the right place but there are no files. It's all empty, even if I clearly see with FileExplorer that there are files at this spot.

Maybe you have a little advice for that too :)

Thanks !
[Android Software Development] egingell:
You have to actually select "path /" from the menu before you can navigate outside the internal SD card in FM. And you won't see any files in FM's directory picker. Only directories show up in there.

I can't help you debug your file managers.

[Android Software Development] Rougz:
Thanks again for your answer !

Yeah I was speaking about directories and not files, I used the wrong term. And even when I go on /path and that I look at /storage/sdcard0 it shows me an empty folder but I just pasted the directory folder of my app from the /data/data

I put you a screenshot so you can get the idea :

This screen is displayed after I created a new pair, tapped on Source, then on /Path and found my SdCard0 Folder in Storage

Hi!

For me beta is working fantastic with LG G2 mini CM13 official with native su.

Thanks for the most precious app in my phone!

Edit: Seems that I was mistaken, the app works and mount the folder but all apps say that can't access the data... For example I moved the Minecraft game folder to SD and mounted and the game detect the saves but say that they are corrupted. Other apps when I move the folder and mounted say that can't access the folder... :/

I installed Chainfire su to test but is the same!

Edit2: Did more tests and one thing that happened is that I mount a folder and start download data to the folder and when its finnished I go to the folder and both folders are empty...

Thanks
[Android Software Development] HappyRoms:
This would be a great app if it worked right. The app doesn't recognize that I've purchased premium unless I delete my other google account from my phone. Contacted the dev multiple times over the month with no reply, tried the bug report option too, and commented on google play store for help but the developer never replied. Really a shame such a great idea and great app would be developed by a slacker. I even made a request for a refund and was ignored. Can't work the app, can't get help, can't get a refund.

You're the one bringing attitude, maybe you're trolling or just want to fight but I don't care. If I can help others save money and make a positive difference then that's what I want to do.

that's great yours is working, but mine isn't, and I have tried to contact the dev for support after paying for premium and got nothing. but I have an attitude for stating there is no consumer security in this purchase?

Any ideas?

Hello,

First, thanks for the great app, helps a lot!

Well, I know FolderMount doesn't support moving data for apps using the data/data folder but maybe you can give me some ideas?

I was able to move successfully data for apps using that folder (mainly square enix games, like heavenstrike rivals) using chmod on the data folders (used 777),

the apps then worked perfectly until some point (I dunno if it was until them were updated).

After that I couldn't get the apps to work anymore (crash when opening the app with link on, app wanna download data with link off), also trying to move data back makes all the files become only one invalid file.

I verified that the permission 777 on the data folder had been lost too.

Any thoughts on how to get this to work?

Thanks!
