I have a Note 3 with Phronesis Rom N7 v5.2. I've used FolderMount to change the Whatsapp directory and since then I can't access my sd card on my pc (connected with usb). Usually the internal storage and the sd card would show up but now it's only the internal storage.

I would be really thankful if someone could help me.

Hey,

I'm trying out this FolderMount program. Having a problem with WhatsApp. I searched for previous people with this issue, there were several, but no solution that I could see. Sorry if I missed an existing answer.

WhatsApp can read existing media without issue

Pictures taken with device in whatsapp chat are successfully saved to the folder

Pictures attached from gallery are sent sucessfully but do not appear in folder, can still view the file. (guessing by design, since it is saved somewhere else)

Pictures received give me media not found and are blurry

I have tested the redirection and it seems to be working. I can touch a file in terminal and it shows in both locations, also using es file manager to make a new file is successful.

I'm running a Sony Xperia T2 ultra running latest 5.1.1 with the latest 2.9.11 FolderMount

Thanks

Installed used once and Premium'ed top app :)

Small feature request: Can you add the ability to set a default parent directory (say 'FolderMount') to then auto create folders under? For example instead of.....

\WhatsApp\Media as normal when you auto create the destination have say

\FolderMounts\WhatsApp\Media instead when you set a parent directory.

This would then keep all your moved data in a more obvious place, handy for those of use with massive SD Cards trying to keep data organised. :)

Maybe anyone here help me with this.

I just want to link or replace one big folder with additional data content. Around 800mb. Which I downloaded and have on my HTC with cm13

I tried foldermount but this app can't move this folder to real SD card.

I tried use my whole SD card as internal storage. But when i format SD card. System give me my SD card is corrupted. Strange cause I format this SD card in philz recovery without problem. Card work normal.

How can I move this data folder?

I ask because my htc have little internal storage to download apps only 1.5gb

Now I have only 300mb free.

Anyone can help me with this?

Ok There is a file named 0 in my internal storage and when I press + in foldermount it shows me its content instead of the real Internal stuff

I tried to delete the folder but it gets back and the app keeps showing it only

Tis folder is one of the internal storage folders but the app recognize it as the internal storage and I don't know why

Im running a Note 4, Rooted 6.0.1 Stock N910PVPU4DPH4 ROM N910PVPS4DQB3 3.10.40-BeastMode-N910P-r56-RAGE and Folder Mount did Stick it to me the first time but now I've got it running with no issues.

Dont let it fix the errors on first launch. I skipped tjat and then manually went and selected each folders path from root.

Rebooted, backed it up, launched foldermount again and this time let it fix the folders that pissed It off.

Pulled the battery. Spun around in my chair three times. Booted into recovery and reinstalled Chainfire SuperSU, whatevers the latest 2.79 S3. Wiped my cache and rebooted.

SO FAR, SO GOOD. I didn't delete any files or enter any code or do anything too complicated.. :)

Hello out there,

I do have a problem using Foldermount Premium with WhatsApp on my Samsung S4 (i9506, Android 5.0.1, Stock-rom, rooted): Every time I recieve pictures, videos or other mediafiles, the files won't be saved and when pressing on the blurry preview-image (picture #1), WhatsApp will show up with an error message (picture #2). You'll see my FM-settings in picture #3, these worked fine on my former device.

Does anyone have an idea what can be done?

**edit**

As I had problem with Link2SD with this i9506/Stockrom 5.0.1, too, I found App2SD being a fine alternative. This application has a similar function like Foldermount. Still, the same problem occur: All recieved files won't be saved at all. So I guess, that it is not a a problem of Foldermount itself, but of Samsung's Stockrom 5.0.1. I found a thread concerning SELinux Secure on that Android version and an app to change the settings. I tried it out, but that didn't help either. Can anything else be done to make Foldermount work with WhatsApp?

Cheers,

doclouis
[Android Software Development] sonicaaaa:
Hi, I'm having the same exact problem as yours. I have even tried to disable selinux, but without luck. logcat doesn't suggest what's the issue either.
[Android Software Development] doclouis:
I tried out "SELinux ModeChanger v.3.2" to change the status. Still, this didn't work out for my WhatsApp-issue, but gave me "security-messages" every few seconds. So I deinstalled this app.

What's interesting: This issue does occur when using FM with WhatsApp only. All other mounts of apps (i.e. Telegram, eMail-app) or folders (i.e. "downloads" or "DCIM") will work just fine.
[Android Software Development] doclouis:
I found a work around in a German forum. The problem seems to be, that Whatsapp starts, before Foldermount can link the folders. What can be done to let Foldermount do its work first:

1. Go into flightmode

2. Open Foldermount and set up source-/target-folders for Whatsapp, activate mounting by the green pin

3. Open Foldermount's settings and put "starting delay" to 30sec.

4. stay in flightmode while rebooting!

5. after Foldermount announced "all folders bound", you can have a check within the app and then deactivate flightmode.

**important** You must reboot and turn off in flightmode every time from now on. Otherwise the blurry-picture-issue will come up again.

Cheers doclouis

Thanks in advance for your reply.
[Android Software Development] v00d007:
Latest Foldermount v2.9.11 supports and works with MM 6.01. On AOSP roms out of the box, on TW roms after it fixes the 2 system files. Never had any MM rom on which it didn't work on my S5 G900F and Note4 N910F.
[Android Software Development] seunskills:
It didn't work on the rooted stock Samsung MM 6.0.1 ROM for my Note4 N9100.
[Android Software Development] v00d007:
Hmm... so maybe you should ask the developer for support via playstore/email.

[Android Software Development] AndyB588:
Still working! No issues.. I think the key is reinstalling SU from your boot manager after you let foldermount do it's fix.
[Android Software Development] seunskills:
Tried that, it didn't work. I will have to try apps2sd now. I've been using foldermount for years, so sad that I have to move on :crying:.

[Android Software Development] true2you:
Hello everyone. Since i don't want to downgrade as I'm pretty satisfied with my rom (htc 10, official 7.0 rom) i'm really eager to make this work. Finally got xposed to work thanks to the unofficial release. The only thing remaining for me to be happy is to get my large apps on my sd card.

Tried app2sd but it requires constant remounts. Plus foldermount is the best solution so far. I see people reporting that it works flawlessly on their nougat roms.

For me, it does copy the files on the sd, no problem on that end. But it doesn't work. My apps keep redownloading the data on the internal storage when i launch them.

Browsed through the thread but I'm not sure where i stand and if there's any solution.

Im starting to lose hope because as convenient as nougat is, there's no real pleasure using it without those essential tweaks working.

Does anybody have a clue about what i can try to make it work? Thanks a lotnin advance.
[Android Software Development] bluegizmo83:
Ok maybe someone here can help me... I'm using Folder Mount on my Nvidia Shield Tablet. I've been using it for a long time, but I just ran into a weird issue. I'm running the stock Nvidia Android 7.0 OS rooted with Magisk, and I just had an issue where my SD card disappeared and I had to remove the card and reinsert it to get it to show up again. After I did that, now every time I open Folder Mount, it says "Folder Mount has detected that you are running Android Lollipop with SELinux enabled and an unsupported Super User application ....." It never said that before, and it makes no sense as I'm running Nougat! Folder Mount still seems to work correctly though... WTF? Lol

Edit: ok Folder Mount does not work properly. I can not add new pairs. However, all my old pairs (that were created when I was running Android KitKat) are all still working. When I upgrade to Nougat, I restored all my apps through Titanium Backup. Doing so must have placed all the files where they needed to be and all the pairs back in folder Mount, allowing everything to work as it did on KitKat. Weird.

[Android Software Development] v00d007:
No, no really working one.

Nope Sir, not for me on LOS14.1. After linking two folders their content never is the same. Plus this app is overboarded with tons of ads and useless crap in my eyes...
[Android Software Development] Herbie_2005:
Well, I use the foldermount feature and the link2sd feature of "Apps2sd pro" on CM 14.1 (Lineage OS 14.1, Android 7.1.2) on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) and on Htc One M8. It is no problem, if I set SE-Linux state to "permissive".
[Android Software Development] v00d007:
So, then it's maybe the "pro" that makes it work for you Can't understand why the dev doesn't grey out this feature if it doesn't work in non-pro. Still hoping that [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION] will release a Nougat updated version of folder mount.
[Android Software Development] PieceKeepr:
Just getting Apps2sd Pro set up. That app rocks! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
[Android Software Development] RootedLee:
What would be an alternative app when running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow?

EDIT: for all who bricked their Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow by allowing Folder Mount to alter the "two troublesome modules" /system/bin/sdcard and system/bin/vold as it just happened to me, and TWRP file manager not showing any content in /system, I created a TWRP flashable zip to restore these two files (attached to this post). I grabbed them from "6.0.1 J5 2016 all variants EXTREME UX - S8+ UX stable (by HPM8294)" v.9.0 custom ROM, so no guarantee they are stock vanilla MM 6.0.1.

The zip flash worked via TWRP on my J5 w. 6.0.1, so I'm sharing it here because I did not find a flashable zip when searching. Good Luck. Gonna give Apps2SD (Pro) a shot next.
[Android Software Development] knil1234234:
Used this great app last 3 years with Cyanogenmod + Galaxy S4.

Now I moved my family onto Galaxy S7 (3 phones).

After installing a nice custom ROM (Superman-Rom V2.6.0, Android 7.0, Magisk), pairs simply do not function.

This app is essential for my family because we organize mounted folders and share most of them in our private cloud.

Anyone got an idea how to get it working?
[Android Software Development] RootedLee:
use Apps2SD (Pro?) instead

After reading about Apps2SD Pro running fine on Android 7.1.2 and below, I am confirming its Folder Mount function (as bind folders on FAT volume) working perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 DUOS w/ Android 6.0.1 rooted. Nut sure if Apps2SD Free has this folder mount functionality, too, but it's worth a try.
[Android Software Development] knil1234234:
Thanks for this tipp. I really need FoulderMount functionallity and not Apps2SD.

Well, I did a test with Stock-Kernal and SuperSU as rooting app (before Magisk).

This time FolderMount GUI didn't show any errors or strange behaviour.

BUT: It did not mount! So again no success with this ROM @ Android 7.0 :(
[Android Software Development] DodoGTA:
There's a command-line FolderMount Magisk module available in the Downloads section of Magisk Manager
[Android Software Development] knil1234234:
WHAAAT? :eek:

Thank you so much for this!!

I will try and report back.

Really nice community here @ xda :cool:
[Android Software Development] v00d007:
What you're suggesting isn't and can't be an universal solution, as the 2 system files differ from rom to rom. Your zip just makes sense for the rom you've taken the files from. That's btw the reason why FM works not with every MM rom after all...
[Android Software Development] RootedLee:
knil1234234, please read what I wrote: Apps2SD's name is inefficient, they should have labeled it "Apps2SD & Folder Mount" to more appropriately reflects its functionality. As a matter of fact, its Folder Mount feature is FAR more superior to that of madmack's app.

Just install Apps2SD and use its Folder Mount functionality through its fine GUI - no need for a Xposed command line module ..... ;)

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

That's kinda what I figured. Still, anyone who needs to can simply copy their two files into the zip I provided, overwriting the ones in there, and apply via TWRP :)
[Android Software Development] knil1234234:
FolderMount alternative / working with Android 7.0 and Magisk

RootedLee is my personal hero ! :laugh:

I Installed "Apps2SD" and used the mount feature and .... tataaa! ... works perect !

You can even apply a "mount script" that takes care after each boot about mounting.

It's really fire&forget - I love that.

Beside mount, the app got many nice other features. Some of them I will use at a later time.

SOLVED!

Thank you!!! :good:
[Android Software Development] RootedLee:
well without someone else before here in this thread pointing to this app I would not have crossed it either, with that meager app name.

In the meantime I had to learn like many others that Apps2SD's folder mount module has flaws... so instead (for example for WhatsApp), use Xposed XInternalSD.

If you still want to use Apps2SD and also have BusyBox installed, for the mount script method you might have to use 'normal' or 'init.d' because 'su.d / Magisk' broke my BusyBox install.
[Android Software Development] hacker@hack:
I really liked your app and had been using it since a long time. Now i have updated to nougat and currently using magisk and not SuperSU .....so iam getting problems using foldermount. It says that I should have SuperSU to run it but if I use SuperSU I would lose many other apps that require non root phone which is currently not possible till I get xposed framework working for nougat..

Yeah, but some of us don't have 12 hours to spend on typing shell commands and debugging them when they don't work as expected. FolderMount makes it much easier with a GUI, but unfortunately like the poster above mentioned, FM won't work with Magisk, so those who require Magisk for certain modules are SOL at this time. If someone has more knowledge I'd love to read the explanation why FolderMount only works with SuperSU and not other root utilities.

problem with mounting on Huawei P8 lite

Hi

I rooted my Huawei phone and installed the Foldermount app. Then I created a pair of folders to link the WhatsApp folder to the SD card. I activated the pair and the files were moved to the destination path on the SD card. The problem is that the source folder is now empty although the mount is active. I tried the same with a test folder as it is suggested in the FAQs, but it didn't work as well. When I open the source folder of the internal memory in the data explorer, there aren't any files inside. What could be the problem? Thank you in advance for your response!

Tablet won't launch after modifying sdcard and vold

Hi,

I have Samsung Galaxy Tab S (T700) rooted. I installed foldermount and it asked me to let it modify sdcard and vold. I said yes, and now my tablet boots but won't launch. It freezes at the "Samsung" screen.

I can get into adb, but not adb root. I see sdcard.backup and vold.backup, but filesystem is read only and I cannot mount read/write it because I can't su to root. Do you have ANY suggestions?
