Installing now...

EDIT: Upon selecting 'Yes' from the move files dialog prompt, I get:

"Unfortunately, Folder Mount has stopped working"
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Move files manually using another root file explorer app, use FolderMount as a mount app only. See if that helps?
[Android Software Development] SKIMMAH:
Doing this allows mounting the folder, but now the game no longer works.

EDIT: This causes another issue. After mounting the folder, I cannot unmount it. Lol. The green pin is unresponsive when selected and does not allow me to move the files back
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Yea, I thought as much. I've never tested mounting /data/data folders so there it goes. I guess the mounting source will remain locked in the sdcard.
[Android Software Development] SKIMMAH:
Well, thanks for looking into it. Now, any idea how I should go about unmounting that folder? Lol. Even deleting the pair doesn't do much.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Make pin gray, reboot, move files back, reboot.

Edit: Or skip step one since you already deleted the folder pair.
[Android Software Development] SKIMMAH:
I figured it out. I had to delete the pair after reboot before FM mounted all folders. However, I did have to reinstall the app.
[Android Software Development] PeFri:
Great app! :)

Appreciate it a lot. But still some questions.

Q1: 'Purchase pro' after phone restart (in offline-mode)? Is online-mode needed to remember purchase?

It remembered all 4 previously defined pairs! But not the purchase.

(Though, all 4 pins went green. Dismount all, mount all works for all 4 folder pairs, but, now, there is a menu option 'Purchase pro' and About reads 'Premium?: No, Version: v.1.4.3'.

Before phone restart in offline-mode it read 'Premium?:Yes. Thank you'.)

Q2: Then I deleted the app from the phone and (after returning to online-mode) reinstalled the app '[ROOT] FolderMount' from the market. Now the 4 previously used folder pairs were gone.

How to remember the folder pairs over delete/reinstall?

How to backup, export/re-import the folder pairs?

P.S.

Regarding Q1, i just noticed that after returning to online-mode and WiFi connection to the internet, the app regained rememberance of purchase.

On the other hand, what if i were on a longer vacation outside reach of internet connection! Couldn't this become a problem?
[Android Software Development] Infinitepudding:
I bought the pro version of the app last week and I have only been able to move a few apps with it. 2 to be exact, even though I have a lot more that I would like to move. I read the FAQ and it said that if apps are only showing up as a few KB each in the analyzer then the files aren't stored where the analyzer can find them. So I looked for them manually through the folder browser and they don't seem to be stored anywhere in any of those folders either. I saw the / path option and it gives a warning about not moving files outside the SD folder. I'm betting that is where my data and obbs are though. Can someone help me learn how to find and move these files? I have looked online but couldn't find any guides and I tried emailing the developer but he hasn't responded.
[Android Software Development] ghst7:
What android version are you using? If MM have you given proper permission to foldermount or your file manager of choice?

OBB files should be in your internal memory in:

/storage/emulated/0/android/obb

Something like that it may vary.

Now for the other data not showing, it may be because they are kept in your root partition, have you looked in:

/data/data

There should be apps files there.

Best of luck.
[Android Software Development] Infinitepudding:
I'm using Kit Kat 4.4.2. Are those folders outside of the SD card folder? I'm still pretty new to Android and I don't want to brick my tablet.

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

Alright, so I had a look in the places you suggested and some of my apps were in emulated obbs but it's still only showing them as around 24k in file size when the app is much bigger. I looked in data/data but none of the ones I want to move are in there either.

anyone experience having the external sdcard not appearing when connected to PC?

I remove/uninstall foldermount and rename the backup (system/bin/sdcard) to original and I can see now the external sdcard on my PC.
[Android Software Development] hulicow:
[MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] Is it possible to mount an obb/data from External SD without copying files from Internal Storage then moving it on External SD? For example like in Obb on SD Xposed Module, The user has 600mb left on data on his/her internal storage, he/she can copy files directly to extSDCard/Android/obb without actually moving it first from Internal. I hope this would also be also available in FolderMount because for example what if I had a game like FF9 that has huge obb size then my internal storage is below 600mb? The only workaround is to backup application or files that consumes data volume before I copy the obb to internal sd and move and mount it via FolderMount. I hope the solution will be likely more seamless.

Hello, if I make a big enough ext4 partition on my ext-sdcard, can I create a link between dalvik-cache folder and some ext-sdcard folder;

S that all that space on mmc isn't wasted anymore, yet the dalvik-cache is created and used normally?
[Android Software Development] Meneldur:
Definitely happening here too. If I link WhatsApp folder to external SD all new media gets lost, all old media is perfectly accessible. Looks like WhatsApp messes things up when saving.
[Android Software Development] Infinitepudding:
I've figured out how to move files in the root directory and I've found my apps in the root data/app folder using a root file browser. However when I browse that folder in foldermount it appears empty and there is nothing to select. How do I get these apk files to show up in foldermount? I'm guessing I may never get an answer as it seems the developer has gone quiet. Wish I had known that before buying pro and only being able to use this for 2 apps.
[Android Software Development] the_brad:
I had this problem, too. Depends on MMs restrictions for user apps to write on ext sd directly and not using documents provider. You need a mod for making this possible again. Try searching around (as I don't have the link right now)
[Android Software Development] Meneldur:
Following [MENTION=817586]the_brad[/MENTION] post, I found what he said and I can confirm WhatsApp issue is solved with that.

You should look for a file called packages.xml into /data/system, then search for WhatsApp section and put this between <perms> tags:

<item name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" granted="true" flags="0" />

You'll see many <item> tags inside <perms>, just add wherever you want inside <perms>.

Profit.

I got a question. I'm using a sd card HC1/UHS-1 32GB. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini with CM13. I'm gaming Asphalt 8. Is the game on my internal storage. It's running good without any lags. But when I put this game via Fouldermount on the sd card it feels sometimes a little bit worse. I know this is sd card is not the fastest. But I think with a good tweak kernel tweak could be lag free. Maybe anyone has a recommendation for me.

How to unpair after uninstalled

I have installed FM, and pair my Whatsapp media, first I think it's working, but I realized I cannot receive any media.such as photo and video.

So I try to unpair the whatsapp media, but I cannot unpair, the green button always automatically on by itself.

So I try to uninstalled FM, and try to copy back the media to internal SD manually, but it can't also for there is a file that made by FM that I cannot erase, a file that link to SD Card.

Now I don't know what to do, my WA media not working.

Hi,

Is there any possibility that the 'Instant Sync' feature will be fixed in a future release?

Doesn't work on my HTC 10. Although Folder Mount does recognise the changes to a given folder and runs 'Instant Sync', the result is always '0 files synced'. Works fine when manually synching though...

Force stop Whatsapp first, not let Whatsapp to run.

At Folder mount, switch the green button to off for unpairing.

Go to File explore app like total commander, ES file Explore or same application and move the Whatsapp folder for External SDCard to Internal SD Card if not being moved.

Run whatsapp again.

[Android Software Development] egingell:
No app can do what you want on a TouchWiz ROM without patching the sdcard binary, so you can get an AOSP ROM without a patched binary and presumably lose some other functions depending on the ROM (shop around, this is not a FolderMount issue) or you can continue using TouchWiz with the binary patched and lose some sdcard functions.

Hello everybody,

after trying to use Foldermount to move my whatsapp folder from the internalSD to the externalSD, the internal memory is not visible anymore. Additionally the externalSD has been moved from the /mnt/ directory to the new /media_rw/ directory. Also there is seemingly no write permission anymore for the externalSD.

I have a rooted Galaxy S5 with Android 5.0. Basically the phone is not usable anymore.Problem: I'm quite the noob with the android filesystem.

Any chance to get my internal and external memory back? Or at least retrieve the data on the internal memory via adb to backup before a new install?

Any ideas are highly appreciated... :)

FolderMount seems to work without issues on my NTFS-formatted Samsung EVO 32GB microSD card in my Moto G LTE (XT1039 - Peregrine) that is running CyanogenMod 14 (I am currently using FolderMount as an Xposed-free Pictures2SD alternative), but sadly, it does not work at all on my exFAT-formatted Toshiba Exercia 128GB microSD card in my LG G3 D855 that is also running CyanogenMod 14.

I'm not entirely sure if formatting the Toshiba card to use the NTFS file system would solve the Foldermount issue, and as I have read a post on here dating all the way back to 2013, the OS implementations of the file systems will most likely interfere with the way Foldermount works, and [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] will understandably struggle to adapt to the changes as a result of this.

As for [MENTION=4857746]naifaharsy[/MENTION] - FAT32 is usually the most compatible file system to use with Foldermount, so stick with that and if you want, experiment with such settings.

Lastly, I will consider formatting my Toshiba card to use the NTFS file system once I have acquired a PC game that I have been waiting to play for quite a while. :p

Foldermout, or any binding mount, does not works in exfat due to exfatRASH permissions that cannot be fused.

Hence I HAVE SAID THAT "OS implementations will most likely interfere with the way FolderMount works" - to elaborate, Android OS implementations/structures will slightly vary from OEM to OEM and from ROM developer to ROM developer - if you search deeper into this thread, you will see that FolderMount doesn't work for some, most precisely on Samsung ROMs, so whilst you may have luck on your OS setup, others will not, and I am one of those who fall into the latter.
