I'm having trouble wiht FM. I've used it on my previous device and bought the Pro version. Now I've changed devices, and I can't get the Pro version again. The option to buy it through Play Store always result in an error saying that there was an error retrieving info from the server, and when I tried the paypal option it seemed to be disabled.

I really got used to loving FM, and it's been tough not being able to use it fully. Is there a workaround?

Im against posting about another developers app in a another developers thread, however alot of us have been having issues mounting folders in Marshmallow. I found the following app to mount folders with no errors. Im hoping the 2 developers can maybe get in touch with one another and FolderMount can officially support Android 6.0.

This method is very difficult for me. Can you make zip for flashing via custom recovery?
[Android Software Development] enkidu70:
Sorry, flashing via recovery really makes no sense! Because as described, you have to check some prerequisites in your root shell.

As I wrote, it is for experienced users only. Sorry. But anyway. It is not really complicated if you have an "adb shell" and do it from your computer.

Btw, could you please omit full quotes? This is very annoying.

How to use this tool? I got a message were I pleased to create a 2nd partition. I don't want to Format or modify my ext SD only linking to internal storage like FM doese. My ext SD has 30 gigs out of 64 so I don't want to format all the stuff you know.
[Android Software Development] ahac85:
Go in to settings and disable auto mount of 2nd partition and turn anything else you won't need like, my setup is

Disable swap at boot,

Disable auto link apps,

Disable hibernate service

Disable automount of 2nd partiton

& Tick Bind Notifications so you can see on boot up if mounts are successful

Is foldermount live or not live?

While using the free version it if I added a file to a folder FM would move it as expected (live) but now I while using the pro version new files added after setting up a folder are not automatically being moved to SD Card (live). How do I fix this?

Hi there,

just installed MM an was shocked that FM doesn't work on MM. I should have read here before installing MM.

I am not good with this script thing that is mentioned here. Also this other app mentioned here has not worked on my installed MM 6.0.1.

So I restored my Nandroid Backup and am back on LP for now.

I would really like to move to MM again, but without working FM I won't do. I really love this program. So not asking etas but ist there any progress regarding functionality on marshmallow? Is there maybe a working beta that I could use?

best regards

Can't find 9GB in Android folder to mount

Hi,

I've been using this software for a few months and it works great: Have a Android 5.1 LG G3 16GB with a 128GB SD card and move all apps to the card using Foldermount.

One issue that's been going on for a while though: There seems to be 9GB in the data partition/Android folder that I can't find to mount.

Even drilling down through all the folders in Foldermount I can only find folders with KB of content. Maybe there's something buried deep with GB of content but I can't find it.

I can't just mount the entire Android folder, and several disk space analyzers I've tried are still seeing the mounted files, making them useless for this.

Foldermount's App Analyzer come up with about 10MB total of apps.

Also tried a cache cleaner but it's still there...

Does anyone know how to find where this 9GB of files are?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] Herbie_2005:
You may go to Twrp recovery and have a close look at the concerning folders and their contents. Remember Foldermount is not active while using Twrp mode. So you can watch those folders as they really are. Maybe you see several contents (folders and files) that have been copied by Foldermount unlink feature which are not visible when operating system runs and Foldermount is active.
[Android Software Development] jamesp111:
Thanks - I don't have TWRP but you did give me the the idea to turn off Foldermount's 'start on boot' option then restart the device, then use the usual storage space analysers to check the contents of each folder

This has shown the used space doesn't seem to be anywhere - more confused now and considering just doing a factory reset.

To be clear I don't think this is necessarily a problem with Foldermount, I just need to free up this space.

I did it with the TCL M3G, it also worked, but after each reboot, I need to execute the Foldermount and make the pin, even I tick the option run on boot in settings.

Both (samsung s5 and TCL M3G) are under lollipop 5.0. When installing on S5, foldermount request to change something in the system after first run, I said yes. on TCL, nothing was requested.

I never had a rom withour bash. Maybe it is located somewhere else! than in /system? Of course I could put a bash and sqlite in the archive. But I do not know if bash from my OnePlus One CM13 is compatible with other devices... So maybe you could search where to get a bash for your rom!? Or where it is located?

Empty source folder

Hi,

Experiencing some problems with Foldermount, on old phone everything worked perfect, on new rooted Android LP, 5.1 with SuperSu. the source folder stays empty after pairing and pin. Paired Sygic/Maps folder from storage/sdcard0 to storage/sdcard1. Files where moved to sdcard1 after creating this pair, it says successful after pinning but no actual mounting when I pin it. Also after reboot it show that pairing was successful but my Sygic doesn't detect any Map and the source folder shows empty folder, understood that when you pair/pin it, it should show the same files like destination folder.

When I use the function ../path for source emulated/0/.. and storage/sdcard1/.. for destination it shows files in the source folder after pinning but after a reboot its impossible to pin it although it says that it was after phone starts. and Foldermount not showing any folder anymore for Source on sdcard0:confused:

Anyone some ideas and is it necessary to have Busybox installed??

No symlinking app works on MM. I gave gone through Link2SD, FolderMount and DirectoryBind with no effect. I guess, we need to wait for the developers to catch up with MM upgrade
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I was finally able to flash one of my devices with an sdcard an MM build (Galaxy S5 CM13.0) and have verified the non-working status. The issues are not simple to resolve without resorting to drastic changes, especially when it comes to writing to the external sdcard using non-root UID. The old trick of modifying platform.xml to allow non-UID apps write access to the removable storage is a thing of the past (thanks Google!).

I am overwhelmed with work but I'll dedicate some time for FM in whatever little time I do have. No ETAs but it'll eventually happen.

Hi! I purchased Foldermount Pro more than a year ago and it has always been working flawlessly, it's been incredibly helpful. But I recently started using a rooted 7 inches generic tablet with android 4.2.2 and a 32GB external sdcard, and Foldermount isn't able to create any folders or move any files into the external sd card. I don't know why this is happening as I don't think I've done anything differently from other times, and other apps like ES file explorer or Root Explorer are able to create folders and move files normally into the SD card. The only message I get from foldermount is "Create folder failed. Permission problem?".

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with Foldermount with a couple of apps. Seems they're too clever for Foldermount's trickery, but hoping to resolve this since I didn't have the problem on my previous mobile. Right now I'm running stock 5.1.1 on an Xperia Z3c, previously I was on CM12.1 on a Z1c.

I have mounted my DCIM and WhatsApp folders.

In Google Camera app when taking a photo and swiping left there is only a single photo with a location of internal sdcard. But then in Quickpic the photo is in the camera folder with all the other camera photos, with a location on the external sdcard.

In WhatsApp when sending a photo to a contact and using the "Gallery" option, there is a 'Camera pictures' folder with a single photo, and then another 'Camera pictures' folder with all the other photos in the Camera folder. It's the same with the 'Whatsapp Images' folder, there are two folders, one with recently received images and another with all past images. On reboot all images appear in a single folder (as they should), same with the Camera pictures.

On first run of Foldermount on my new device I did get the error about not being about to write to the sdcard, I applied the built in fix which it said was successful. The current permissions for sdcard1 is rwxrwx--x.

Foldermount is working, but it's a bit messy for me. Previously it worked so seamlessly I'd love to get it working again.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
[Android Software Development] Rintenfinten:
Don't understand me wrong. I paid for the Pro Version of FM and I really love the app.

However, I get the impression that development for the app has stopped. Reasons:

- last update = 13th of September 2015

- in the meantime MM is out for nearly every device

- FM ist still not compatible with MM (without the help of a script)

[Android Software Development] madmack:
I actually did have a bit of time today and I got most issues worked out:

App now uses DocumentFile APIs to access external sdcard. Basically FM can now write to your external sdcard in MM. A lot of changes to the framework had to be incorporated here. I still have to "clean up" some of the code and make the write-access granting scheme a little more intuitive. Yes, you will have to explicitly grant access to the root directory of the ext_sdcard to FM.

Some commands changed in MM: Tools like "mount" have moved from "toolbox" to "toybox" (Thanks Google!!) so FM correctly adapts to this new change.

Mounting and unmounting works as long as you have SuperSU and not any other root app.

One issue remains. Although the folders are mounted correctly, non-rooted apps aren't able to write into the target. The reason is the newly set permission (umasks) on these external sdcard mount points. It could be an issue that is local to CM-13.0, which is what I'm basing my work on, or the NTFS filesystem which is what my sdcard is formatted to. I need a bit more time to debug these problems and will post a beta APK once these issues are worked out.

As always, no ETA. Just stay tuned.

Hi there

don't get me wrong, just because we paid for an app (am a paid user myself), doesn't mean the developer is obliged to provide updates for the app at regular intervals. It is upto the developer to provide updates or to even fix the bugs.

[Android Software Development] madmack:
OK guys. Here is your first beta for MM. Please test it out thoroughly and report back ! It seems to work fine on my device for now.

Warning: The copy/paste functionality is not thoroughly tested. Please do not use the FM copy/paste operation (from source to target, when offered) on your precious family photos/sensitive data. This warning is only for users running Android M. The rest of you should be ok.

FM will ask you to kindly grant it access to the root path of your external sdcard on first launch. Do that.

SuperSU by Chainfire is a must

If you fulfill these two requirements, everything should work. I also added some minor cosmetic changes to users on Android M. The notification's "moving files" text shouldn't appear as white anymore.

Enjoy and don't forget to report back on your experience.

The cm-13.0 issue you're having is definitely related to the specific build props on your device. Something isn't right in the ramfs most likely or SuperSU isn't installed correctly. I won't be able to debug that one for you unfortunately given that cm13 works fine for me on the sammy s5.
