Sup, guys!
I'm running stock with the latest franco Kernel (r48) and trying to use a USB OTG flashdisk to play music with Poweramp.
Usually when I plug in the USB, Stickmount recognizes it and mounts an emulated partition on my sdcard.
It happens to work for a few seconds to a few hours, I really can't tell when it will work but usually after a few tries it stays stable for a while, so isn't that bad.
Today I tried to copy some pictures from my phone to the USB and I couldn't copy a single file.
Anyone else have trouble doing this?
Thanks!

Try a kernel with otg automount

Yes I always had issues with stickmount. I had to forceclose or reboot. I agree that Rom or kernel with automount is the way forward

Yes! You need an OTG cable, such as the Motorola Camera Connection Kit. There are others available for less money, but you have to make sure it's really OTG, because it has a different pin configuration.
In addition, you may need to use one of two free apps to help mount the drive--USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG, or Drive Mount.
I've found that it may help to reboot with the drive plugged in (at least the first time).
With this set-up you can use a thumb drive or a large HDD.
My Xoom is fine but my friend bought one and he cant otg with 3.2 unless he roots, right? ... The toshiba does otg out of the box. This was his major buying point. Anyone know why xoom m doesnt yet others will? And yes, he has otg cable.

I tried both of them n failed in both
The drive mount requires busybody. But after installed it, the drive mount apps keep DC.. couldn't use at all
And for the USB mass watcher, when i launch it it asked me to download the latest version, but the latest version isn't compatible with 3.2
What should i do now =(

Sure it is compatible with 3.2. I use it.
Also it's busybox.

I'm not certain if an unrooted Xoom can really access OTG/usb host mode. People say that, but I have been rooted from the start, so I never tested it out.
But i can't even download it from market @@
I jhave it now butkeep fc . Argh
Yeah, I have been rooted since day one as well, so I was unsure of the stock 3.2...

Are you sure you have an OTG cable?
Also, what are you trying to connect? Some people have had issues with thumb drives but not with an HDD.
thumb drive.. yup i m sure its a otg

Does it dim or does it crash? If it dims and you can't do anything, try turning the Xoom (like from landscape to portrait), with auto-rotate enable, and if a dialog box opens, choose an action.
If it is crashing, can you try an HDD like a Passport?
not dim nor crash. The device just suddenly go black n have to boot up
Hi guys! Just got a new USB OTG cable and also got stickmount PRO, and i connected my flash drive to my phone and stickmount detected it and i clicked mount and after i was done i clicked unmount and the flash drive got unmounted and so did my sdcard partition and it wouldn't be mounted unless i reboot my device, i've heard of this problem before but never found a solution. Also i'm running the latest version of slimkat and franco kernel, If there's a rom and, or kernel that supports OTG could you point it out for me please cuz i don't want to use stickmount because of this problem. I also tried usb OTG helper and the app crashes when i mount. Please help me and i'm sorry for asking a noob question.
Chaos kernel supports otg. I haven't tried it though.
Chaos is a CAF kernel so you'd have to use an old version on slim.
I use elementalx on slim which also automounts otg via the storage menu.
I still use stickmount too though because elementalx hasn't exported external storage in the correct way yet so can't use foldermount. If you simply want to browse though, elementalx is fine.
I've never had this problem with stickmount. I've never used franco though

LOL I didn't see that. also i flashed elementalx and i'm still getting the same problem:crying:, i unmount and then a popup shows saying that youtube crashed and when i go to es file explorer it's the same problem. Is there another kernel which isn't CAF that natively supports usb otg?
You're unmounting via storage menu and not using stickmount?
No.point looking at kernels. This isn't a kernel problem. This is a you problem. By you, I.don't mean you yourself. Rather, I mean there is a problem with your config. Usbotg works fine with latest slim and elementalx without issue. Must be an app or something.

Thanks for telling me bout elementalx unmounting and mounting via storage menu works now, but the problem is still there with stickmount, it seems like it's stickmount's problem. You also mentioned that elementalx had a problem with external storage does that mean that i can't use apps like GLtoSD so that i can put my game data in my flash drive?
I only use stickmount because of a setting that's missing that prevents foldermount mounting folders from /sdcard to USB. You don't need to use it simply to browse.
No idea why stickmount causes this problem for you. Works fine for me.
No idea what gltosd is. You'll have to test it yourself

GL to SD does the same thing as foldermount except it's a more user-friendly interface made for games
Probably wont work then without stickmount

Just found out that the main problem was my explorer (after i unmount with stickmount es file explorer tells me sdcard not found but other explorers show it normally) it wasn't the kernel's problem nor stickmount's. Godammit i feel so stupid *facepalm*. Anyways thanks for helping me, also elementalx is amazing, really good battery life and performance.
Yep good kernel

Hi there,
I had tried few different kernel and non of them givies me the OTG mount through stickmount. The StickMount just said it was mounted at /storage/usbStorage/sda1, but when use the file manager to check, the folder wasn't appeared. I'm sure the USB thumbdrive works and the cable as well as in TWRP, I could mount it and even make backup there too.
Anyone could shine some good advice for me?
Current setup:
ROM: Cataclyms
Kernel: n3oHammer_AOSP_V20_cpuquiet
Other testing setup:
ROM: OMNI nightly
Kernel: n3oHammer_AOSP_V20_cpuquiet and some other kernels too.
Thanks.
Ah.. in fact it works as it mounted on the sdcard/usbStorage instead. I searched in wrong folder instead. Thanks for your time.
Stickmount doesnt need any particular kernel
Its NOT mounted in /storage/usbStorage. Its /sdcard/usbStorage

I've been getting this error whenever I try to copy anything onto a flash drive:
"EACCES (Permission denied)"
It used to work just fine before, so I don't know why it isn't working now.
The flash drive is EXFAT formatted. Phone is rooted, running ElementalX with EXFAT support ticked and Stickmount Pro. Reading any file still works.
Any ideas as to what happened?

What location are you browsing to to get to the flash drive? Is it the latest elemental?

I believe so, as long as the kernel does as well. I know I've been able to write to this drive before, just haven't done so in a while.
no idea.

Anyone any ideas? I am having the same problem, exact same scenario using rooted stock on nexus 5. :crying:
My solution to NEXUS 5 can write to OTG USB pendrive
Ok, that's that I did, and it worked ( 4 or moure hours testing various things)
I used a Corsair Voyager GO 64 gb with NTFS filesystem.
My Nexus 5 is rooted.
I installed Chainfire "StickMount". So we can mount out USB pendrive to /sdcard/ubsStorage/sda1 No need to be PRO app.
I installed Paragon "paragon NTFS&HFS". Open it, and will ask to fix SELinux policies to Permisive. So Root Explorer can see now /Data/Media/ClockWorkmod/backup
I installed Jrummy Apps inc. "Root Explorer". I will copy, for example /Data/Media/ClockWorkmod/backup to /sdcard/ubsStorage/sda1 whithout any problems.
Don't forget to unmount USB drive before disconnecting it, go to StickMount and choose unmount
ES FILE EXPLORER WILL SAY "No space" "Error" or similar
Worked for me!
I'm happy with my investigation. I used Root Explorer in the past, and now it's useful again.
Sorry about my english, not perfect.
ENJOY!
Hi all,
I want to do a full bakcup of my SD, apps, music, documents, pictures, everthing. I've tried using the MTP method but it crash while loading the list of files to copy or during the copy operation. Are there other way, maybe even faster than MTP, to do a whole backup of my SD? Thanks
I'm on Windows 7 x64, Mahdi ROM, TWRP 2.8.0.1 (MTP on recovery never worked for me if you ever wondered)
I use foldersync. Backs up to my NAS over WiFi as I sleep. Not fast but doesn't need to be.
There is nothing fast over cable.

What about something more "reliable" over cable instead of MTP (i mean the drag&drop method)?

MTP = no mass storage
no mass storage = no alternative
As per previous suggestion, try folder sync
