[root] StickMount
- this is an issue with the device, not with StickMount !
!!! REQUIRES ROOT !!!
Various Nexus and "stock Android" devices do not automatically "mount" mass storage devices (such as USB sticks). StickMount has been made to solve this problem, and give you access to the files on your USB connected storage from all your apps.
StickMount is known to work on many devices, but is built *only
* with *Nexus
* devices in mind.
Once StickMount is installed and you connect a USB stick with a "USB host / OTG cable", the device will show you a popup if you want to open StickMount. It is advised to tell the device that you want to do this by default.
If you have just installed StickMount and you already had a USB stick connected, you must manually launch the program, or disconnect/reconnect the USB stick for StickMount to start working.
Mass storage devices are mounted to "/sdcard/usbStorage/xxxx/".
----
- (Pro) Kill apps preventing unmount -----
Sometimes an app has a file in use located on the USB device, and won't let go of it. This can prevent StickMount from unmounting the USB device. It will seem like the device stays connected (this is harmless). StickMount Pro provides an option that attempts to kill (terminate) all the apps that are preventing the unmount from succeeding.
----
- (Pro) Media scan -----
StickMount Pro supports triggering the media scanner on each (un)mount action. This will automatically make the files on your USB device available in apps like Gallery and Music. Please note that the media scanner is not a visible process on all Android devices
- it might actually work silently in the background without any visual cues. It may take a minute for your files to show up, so don't panic if they don't show immediately.
Even if you have this option enabled, you can prevent folders from being scanned by placing an empty file called ".nomedia" in that folder. If you put it in the root of the USB device, the entire device will not be scanned.
----
- (Pro) Mount as partition label -----
Instead of using the block device name for the partition, use the partition label as mount name, falling back to uuid or block device name if the label is unavailable.
----
- (Pro) Create symbolic links -----
Create symbolic links in /mnt and /storage to the actual mounts in /sdcard/usbStorage/
----
- Filesystem support -----
The filesystems supported depends on your device firmware. On most devices, at least vfat/fat/fat32 and ext2/3/4 are supported. On the latest Android versions, ntfs is also supported in read-only mode. Some devices also support exfat out the box, but most do not.
StickMount can utilize the "ntfs-3g" and "mount.exfat-fuse" binaries to add support for ntfs (untested) and exfat, but these are not included. If you place the "ntfs-3g" or "mount.exfat-fuse" files in the root of your internal storage ( /sdcard ), StickMount will automatically use them.
You can find the needed files here:ntfs-3g: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1145436&stc=1&d=1340293802mount.exfat-fuse: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=806200&d=1323109372

- Troubleshooting -----
For some users, the app appears not to work, while in fact it is the device itself or the cable not working. One OTG cable is not the other OTG cable. If you have a USB stick with a light on it, it should light up when you connect it to the Galaxy Nexus using your OTG cable. If it does not, either your cable or your Nexus is faulty. 99 out of 100 times it is going to be your cable. That the cable works fine with another device does not mean anything! Cables known to work on a one devices may not work on another device.
SD card unmounting: If your SD card unmounts when unmounting a USB device, you have a bug in your kernel. This is *not
* a bug in StickMount !

Man, this remounts the internal storage in a different path (/storage/emulated/0/usbStorage/sda13 as well as /storage/emulated/0), and that messes up all the apps that rely on the media cache, like the music player and Google Photos. Now GPhotos wants to reupload 10K photos because it thinks they are new...
Garbage! doesnt work ( on an S7 at least!) I installed it but all it does is say its stopped working! Cant understand why this supposed high end phone wont allow me to simply plug in a flash drive & transfer photos back & for? Ill look for an app that works :(
This one can mount USB devices *directly* to the Android filesystem (/mnt/media_rw/... for more recent versions). For crying out loud - 99% of all those others "OTG solutions" make the USB devices only accessible to themselves! Its a shame that Chainfire retired. They should have made him the chief Android developer, instead of those boozos @ Google!
sorry this is my last and only suggestion...I am uninstalling it as it is no use to me as I send many feedback for my problem but of no use ... everytime I tried to use it stops working and feels like something stupid of me to send feed back ...
Won't open. All I get is the message "StickMount keeps stopping".
It stops working and doesn't say why but also there no place that shows my USB file
keeps closing. won't even acknowledge i have flash drive attached.
Didn't work kept failing every time I inserted a usb stick.
Kept telling me unsupported and never worked past home screen. Uninstalled
I tried mounting a usb multiple times , this app refused to mount the device
Waste of time download. Immediately says it is out of date version and to download a new one !!
the best for connecting hard drives to android machine
Total rubbish, does not run on Samsung tablet
It never worked and kept closing down.
tried it on two phones didnt work
Does not work have reinstalled several times. JUNK
do not install this. it doesn't work at all. Why is this even in Google Store?
Great! now i can use 2 TB HDD on phone
crashes the moment I tried to mount it.
It keeps getting stopped
Waste app not working
It's very useful
Worst application for all
This is a very feak app
Work as it has to
Does not work for me.
This only works on the newest firmware. I was running on version 4, which is a 2013 version, for tablet, but when I upgraded to version 7, which is Nauget, this worked perfectly. All you need is a major system upgrade.
