install app to otg - Nexus 9 Themes and Apps

Install app to otg 1st you will need root 2nd you will need 2 apps foldermount and stickmount once you have those open stickmount and mount the otg then open foldermount hit app analyzer on the left side then choose ur app you want to install to otg hit create pair then go to destination and the path should look like this /storage/emulated/0/usbStorage/sd1 and there you have it

thanks for the tip. i was hoping to do this with CIFS when a compatible kernel comes out. i just hate having only one port for charge and OTG. if they find a way to charge and use OTG then i'll kick myself for paying $170 for a wifi hd!

So for example, If I wanted to install Asphalt to my meenova card reader with a 16gb microsd . In would be able to just plug in the card reader whenever I want to play the game?

yep, should be just as easy as that. there'll be a pretty big hit in file transfer/load times vs the internal storage, but you get tons of extra space!

[Q] MicroSD doesn't show up when connected to PC?

Thanks guys, I hope someone knows how to fix this.
When I connect my Asus EEE Pad Transformer to my PC(Windows 7) via the USB cable, I can see on the PC a new device named "Computer\Transformer TF101\Device Storage" which is my built-in 16 GB, but there is no device for the Micro SD card - it is actually visible in the EEE Pad (at /Removable/MicroSD) and works pretty normally within the Pad.
How do I transfer my files to the MicroSD from the PC then?
I don't want to take out the card and use a card reader, btw.

Just for curiosity... you don't see any folder named similar to "sdcard" inside the visible 16gb directory?

It happened once or twice that I found a folder named 'MicroSD' in the 16gb directory - it is indeed the MicroSD card, but now it is gone and I have no idea why.

More than connecting transformer to PC by the usb cable, I usually use some app like "Websharing" or "WiFi File Explorer PRO". Sadly there's no way to upload data to the microSD card using one of these apps either
Until now, I've been removing microSD card and putting it in my USB all in one media card reader!
well what you can do is simply copy it to internal and then use the HC filemanager to copy it to your microSD, that's what I do.

A good workaround, but quite frankly, these are the sorts of little inexcusable things that companies need to check for before they push out products. Hopefully Asus fixes this very soon in an OTA soon. There's absolutely no reason why the MicroSD shouldn't show up as a separate drive when you connect the device to your computer. (Even my Nook classic does that!)

Well you can always get a Xoom (which doesn't have microSD support at all).
Pretty sure they figured rather a functioning microSD card slot that can't be accessed by USB than no microSD card slot at all.
I'm sure it'll be fixed in an update.

Asus seems to have put together a fantastic device, so I have no desire to choose a Xoom over it. My issue is with the increasingly prevalent over-reliance on OTAs to fix simple things that should have included from the start. (And that comment by no means applies exclusively to Asus.)
True, but when you buy a honeycomb device at this stage you pretty much are always buying on potential, since honeycomb is really new and even google admitted it was rushed to market. With that come the inevitable gripes and snags.
I haven't had any issues accessing the micro sd from my computer. If you have the MTP drivers loaded from asus's website should just show up at the bottom as a "music player" that you click on and shows device.
In the device is all the folders on the internal sd card. One of the folders is MicroSD which is your micro sd card.
I've dumped about 30 gb of stuff on my micro sd without any problems.

Quick question, when the "sdcard" folder is inside the visible built-in storage directory, what is the total capacity that your OS shows? It's the built-in storage + SD Card? like 16gb + 32gb = 48gb? or how?
Sd Card
Mine shows up in file manager no problem -
/removable/microsd/
It shows up on my computer -
/device storage/micro sd

When you hover over the device in my computer, it only shows availablity of the internal storage, and right clicking and hitting properties on the microsd folder does show how much space is taken up on the card, but haven't seen a way to show totaly capacity and how much is left in windows.
Easiest way is just check storage under the settings on the tablet.
just so you guys know, I noticed your PC wont see the microSD card folder if you dont pop it in/out after every time you reboot the tablet.
Pretty sure this is a restriction with Honeycomb. The design was intended for internal storage (hence the dynamic internal flash storage). External is just for media.
Seems the fix needs to come from Android devs and applied to the framework. Would not hold my breath for that, since if you keep up with the Android dev forums, they were not fans of adding external storage in the first place. The OEMs (except Motorola) did their own workarounds just to get stuff working as is. Seems a minor miracle that Asus were able to get the keyboard and its storage functions working.
Guys thank you all for the replies and discussions.
I replaced my MicroSD card today and was surprised to see the new card appeared as 'Computer\Transformer TF101\Device Staroage\MicroSD' in my PC!
Now seems it has something to do with the card itself - no idea what it is though. Both cards worked pretty fine within the Pad btw.

[Q] How do I mount my sdcard as a drive via USB?

I have a TF101 running Prime 1.1, and a sdcard inserted in it.
I wanted to mount it as a drive via USB to my laptop through a usb cable (like I do on my phone), but I can't find an option for it on Honeycomb to do so. Anyone know how to do this?
Having the same issue. Running Ubuntu 10.04. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

it's already mounted, on device storage there's a folder called microSD, if that doesn't work just pop the microSD card out and pop it back in while plugged in.

To be honest i do not think there is any way to do that yet
Honeycomb does not offer an easy way to include removable storage (which is why the xoom doesnt support sd cards yet officially)
Asus bypassed the Honeycomb issue and mounted the SD card to a directory (Removable Storage)
Since the built in storage is seen as the sdcard by honeycomb that is what is seen by computers
When the next version of honeycomb comes out, they should address this issue

When your Transformer is attached to a Windows PC, the SD card is mounted as a subdirectory under device storage.

Android switched from the USB storage class to MTP from Honeycomb. In order to access MTP storage from non-Windows machines you'll need an MTP driver.
For Mac use Android Filetransfer. For Linux use MTPFS.
Details for both can be found here:
http://droidweb.com/2011/05/moving-files-onto-android-3-0-devices/
MTP sucks, you have to use Windows' default copy and paste and it doesn't give you full acess to all the files (only ones Honeycomb wants you to see), horrible system.

Agreed. I also dislike the inconsistency between actual files and those displayed via MTP. Fortunately most readers of this forum know how to use ADB push/pull or the file explorer to move internal files to a removable USB storage device.
Watch out
I've got 3 USB 2.5" HDs. All are NTFS formatted and SATA internally with external eSATA connectors so to me similar cases. All work fine on my PCs. On the TF 2 work and these 2 have a similar case but the 3rd is not picked.

I use X-Plore file manager with external drives because you can see two directories or drives at the same time.
Total Commander also works well for an external drive

pPossible solutions to the limited space on internal card...

Seems like the only downfall of this phone is the lack of an external SD card slot. Is any one oiy there working on an app similar to link to SD but utilizing a micro USB.card reader like the Meenova? What about a script that would swap the internal memory with the externally mounted micro SD reader? Anybody?
How about connecting our brain by spinal cord lol.... Yes there are some otg device which can help you as a external storage and no need of swap internal memory since moto G is best working at this moment

There are apps to link apps to external sd (both apk and data) via otg. You can do it manually via busybox+mount -bind or all automatic via some apps that are in this forum (I swear they are in moto-g/general, so give it a try). If I see the link again I will come back and link it to you, but I remember at least two apps available in the play store to do it.
you can try folder mount or directory bind for moving big data games to usb otg
I wouldn't see a problem with mounting your external sd card wherever you want in the filesystem.
However I would suggest to just mount the external sd card to /sdcard
Filling the 8gb with apps seems pretty impossible to me. Data stored by the app is stored in /sdcard, so that's where you actually would need more space.

Multiple CWM backups are always annoying, no matter if you have sd card or not.
This thread on the other hand makes no sense, there are apps that do the job out there, but if you can't mange your space, then probably you ain't for Nexus-like device.

Expanding storage

Right now I'm playing with expanding the storage for stuff not necessarily related to apps. While I can get the majority of my media through streaming (via a media server), there are some things that I need more space for.
I have a USB hub connected via a USB OTG cable as I also plan to use my Logitech F710 (maybe multiple if it works). I have confirmed my USB flash drives work fine. Note that I'm referring to USB flash drives, not USB card readers (they work a bit differently).
exFAT: so far, no go (some Android devices support this, apparently not the NPlayer)
FAT32: works great, but the larger the drive, the less storage efficiency (I'm working with a 64gb drive), and it has a hard limit on storage size (128gb) and file size (2gb)
NTFS: read only
EXT2: does not work
So it looks like if you are using a large storage device, and if it works, ext2 will be the best option. For you Windows users, this can bring complications due to lack of native support. There's ext2fsd but you can't format a drive with it, only read/write.
If EXT2 works as I've seen with my past usage with Android, this gives you the option to get some pretty large storage expansion with decent efficiency. FAT32 has some pretty harsh limitations. With 512gb USB flash drives in existence, if you want to go large, FAT32 may not be an option.
Edit: updated state of ext2
I suspect these may be problems with the app being used. To extend beyond this, it appears I may need root. The end result is if you want a volume larger than 128gb, you're going to be read-only. If you want read/write on a large volume (larger than, say, 32gb) you're going to have poor storage efficiency.
So now we wait for the hacking to get better storage support!

Thanks for testing the formats. Once we have root, we'll be able to have the NP recognize the external storage everywhere with StickMount and, with something like the Xposed module "OBB on SD" (or any number of other methods of mounting android space to external) you'll be able to install a ton of games/etc to the external drive where you have unlimited space. The 8gb limit in the NP still sucks, but once we have root that'll be largely mitigated if not moot for most users.

Ordered last week should in my hands on the first week of December. I have a 2T drive that would great if that works. I will hold on to my FireTv which it has been rooted using the 2T drive.
Keep in mind that if you have a bus powered hard drive, it will likely require a powered USB hub to work. I doubt the OTG port will provide enough power, but I could be wrong. I have a USB 3 drive I could test later.
Yes, if you have a NTFS formatted drive, you can put stuff on it with your computer and read it with the NP. As long as reading that something doesn't try to modify something there, it should work fine.
Note to self: Use a linux machine to format ext2. Seems these windows programs are really really slow at it.
So I'm thinking I need to re-assess the above results as I suspect ES File Explorer is to blame for things expected to work, but not working. It will not work with EXT2 and requests to use either FAT32 or NTFS.
I'll have to do more digging.
Edit: Tested several file managers and was unable to get any further. To get EXT2 I suspect it needs to be mountable somewhere in /, which is what I believe stickmount takes care of for us (I could be wrong). But this requires root.
I'm assuming that scenario would work just fine, however I can't test it to be certain.
Drewg over in the kodi forums posted a manual way of correctly mounting usb storage into the / filesystem. Here's a bit of that and a link:
Code:
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
mkdir /mnt/obb/mnt
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/obb/mnt
You could, of course, choose what dir you mount the storage in, its the mknod that is key. This also assumes your usb storage is being recognized as sda1 already.

I'll have to see if I can do this with ext2. vfat has the same limitations as fat32 as that is the spec it implements.
Rooted & Installed Stickmount.. still unable to access USB files
Before I was rooted, I tried exFAT, NTFS, and FAT32.. but the USB would show in ES File explorer but won't open. Now I've rooted and installed Stickmount. When I connect the USB, it mounts it ("/sdcard/UsbStorage/sda"). But I'm still not able to access it. Any suggestions or solutions if you guys have rooted your device?
EDIT: I tried again using a 32GB USB Drive (exFAT) and StickMount mounted and I was able to access its contents using ES File Explorer and it also showed up in MX Player. I was able to play HD movies through it with no problem. Working perfectly. (I had to sideload stickmount, as it can't be installed through web play store).
I'm planning to experiment with this today. I just need to get the stickmount apk transferred over as the play store lists it as incompatible. Ext2 might work best for this method as I'm not sure the stock kernel has exfat nor ntfs support and I'm biased against using fat32.
It appears root, stickmount + foldermount 2.7 works fine and lets you move games to OTG-USB. I moved MC4 easily enough and it worked although it couldnt create the mc4 directory on the stick so it stuck it directly in an obb dir I created, so you might want to create your directories first.
But MC4 definitely appears to be working. Im going to try bards tale next.
Edit Bards Tale doesnt seem to work and I attempted to move MC4 into a cleaner directory and I cant get it to work again, so I am going to download its data and try again...

Thanks for your updates. I am away on business but am very interested in this aspect of the NP. Hopefully you can get it working and others can help troubleshoot. There are a few different apps that enable this functionality once rooted, but I'm sure all of them have some teething issues under the new Lollipop. Good luck.

I kept it simple and used a 32gig flash drive fat32
I can confirm stickmount works with fat32. I'm working out how to get ext2 or ext4 working. ext2 would be preferred for a flash drive but I've not had luck yet. I plan to try ext4, but given the fact ext2 didn't work, I don't have high hopes. I think It's an issue with permissions and I might have to futz with that to make it work.
Good to know stickmount is working well. Have either of you attempted foldermount, obb on sd, etc and had success yet? Thanks for the updates.

Thanks for your updates. I am away on business but am very interested in this aspect of the NP. Hopefully you can get it working and others can help troubleshoot. There are a few different apps that enable this functionality once rooted, but I'm sure all of them have some teething issues under the new Lollipop. Good luck.

I might switch to another app tomorrow, but I sent the foldermount author an email describing the problem. I feel pretty confident it is simply teething issues as it did work for a small amount of time.

I had some issues with stickmount. It works, but I wouldn't say "well". At one point it kept freezing and getting into a bad state but since reinstalling it I haven't had any further trouble. Caveat emptor.
