Trying to copy over a file from my Linux machine onto my Galaxy Nexus using ADB. The file is in the platform-tools directory as well to make it easier. I am trying to execute "adb push gapps-ics-12172011.zip sdcard", but it keeps saying failed to copy 'gapps-ics-12172011.zip' to 'sdcard': Is a directory. Can someone help me out?
Code:
adb push gapps-ics-12172011.zip /sdcard
The way you had it did not specify a location, but a filename.
Thanks, I'll try this when I get home.

Still did not work. Found the problem though, the sdcard was under /mnt, so I did /mnt/sdcard and it worked
glad it's working, but remember not to forget the / at the end if you are pushing files to a directory
/sdcard is just a symlink.
Stop directing people to a symlink, which may or not be available.
Folks, equivalent dir to /sdcard is /data/media.

I am not about to start telling people to adb push to /data/media, when /sdcard works fine and is universal, symlink or not. If the symlink is missing, that is kind of their fault, not mine, and they have bigger fish to fry than adb push.
As mentioned above the issue was the lack of trailing /. This command should work:
adb push gapps-ics-12172011.zip /sdcard/
Hi
I'm trying to use a symlink from the internal SD card to the external one so I can use WikiDroyd on a larger disk. I have done this before to map google music to my extSDcard and it works great, using this command
ln -s /storage/extSdCard/googleMusic/ /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
but when I try
ln -s /storage/extSdCard/WikiDroyd/ /storage/emulated/0/WikiDroyd
I get Function not implemented. I'm guessing it's because /storage/emulated/0 doesn't support symlinks, is this because of it's disk format? Does anyone know how to find out it's format? Can I reformat it?
Note: I am using omega rom

Is /storage/emulated/0 the default directory for the app? If so, it may be failing due to trying to replace an existing directory with a symlink (particularly if that pre-existing directory is in use at the time).
If the app's directory setting can be altered, why not try putting the symlink elsewhere? Even if the app doesn't let you set a custom directory, creating your symlink elsewhere would, if successful, narrow down the likely causes of the error (unfortunately, if the app's directory setting is hard coded out otherwise unchangeable, then it would also prove that what you want to do is not possible, at least not through this approach)

Are you sure that ln -s will work on non ext partitions? I don't think this won't work on FAT32/NTFS partitions.

That's a good point, I thought that certain configurations might work (like placing the link on an ext partition that points to a file on a fat 32 partition, since Linux can read both and Windows would never see the Linux-style link, for example) but I'll double check...

Just a thought, you might also try busybox ln -s and see if that works.
I now regret not buying the 32gb nexus 7, but i have seen that you can "bind" game data on the tablet and run it on a USB drive. I have used Directory Bind, GsScript, Foldermount etc. but none of them have worked for me. A few of the games i play take up 1-2 gb of storage space that i don't want to waste, so i would like to know if there is a way to mount these game folders to my USB drive. My OS is 4.4.2.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thankyou
I can't seem to get Folder-mount to work. Has anyone been able to do this on their Nexus?

are you using a USB OTG cable?
if you are try to get it to mount using apps on the market.
of you can get it to mount, and can read / write to it you could, in theory could move you game data to the usb, then create a sym link to it.
for example:
game data stored at /sdcard/thegame
your external for example is mounted at /storage/usbotg
mkdir /storage/usbotg/thegame
mv /sdcard/thegame /storage/usbotg/
ln -s /storage/usbotg/thegame /sdcard/thegame
You should backup game data first. I have not tried this myself

After getting the files from /sdcard/thegame and copying or moving them to /storage/usbotg/thegame
type
Code:
mv /sdcard/thegame /sdcard/thegame.bak
that is making a backup right now of your files in case stuff breaks.
then type
Code:
ln -s /storage/usbotg/thegame /sdcard/thegame
Then it should link.
Launch game and if all settings are present it worked. as long as /storage/usbotg/thegame has all your files.

Hi guys, today i am here to tell you a method only tested on a galaxy y, but i hope it will work for all. this is a method to change the download location for play store.
WARNING!!!
1. WARRANTY IS NOW VOID.
2. NOT MY PROBLEM IF SOME APP FAIL.
3. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE THIS.
This is a simple code but it needs root for sure. now the necessities are as follows:
1. A complete nandroid backup
2. Root Permissions
3. Any terminal emulator. e.g https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hecticman.jsterm
4. You need to know the default download location and the mount point of sd card( if that is where you want the new download location )
Now let's start.
Just know this that mnt/sdcard will have to be replaced by your sdcard mount point and data/app will have to be replaced by the default download location. i underlined them for easy understanding.
NOT MY PROBLEM IF THIS FAILS AND YOUR PLAY STORE CRASHES. JUST DO A NANDROID RESTORE.
THERE WILL ALREADY BE A $ AT START SO U DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT.
$ su
# mkdir /mnt/sdcard/playstore
# cp -r /data/app/* /mnt/sdcard/playstore
# rm -rf /data/app
# ln -s /mnt/sdcard/playstore /data/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
what the code does:
1. Grant super user permissions
2. Make a directory in sdcard named playstore.
3. Copy all items (recursively) from data/app to sdcard/playstore
4.Symlink the new location to fake the original.
Hitting Thanks can help.
and once again PLEASE BACKUP BEFORE THIS AND RESTORE IF NOT SUCCESSFUL.
This is based on the code used by link2sd.
Could you please double check your code fragments?
For me it looks, like you create a directory "playstore", but then copy to a directory "playstore-temp", which will most like not exist at that moment.
The ln you're using can't realy work as long as the /data/app directory is still in place... so you would first need to delete /rename it.
Just my 2¢
thanks dude

looks like i was drunk making so much mistakes . corrected it.
It's not so simple if you use Link2SD. If you link some apps to sdext partition, some files in /data/app are symlinks which cannont be copied to /mnt/sdcard/playstore as it's FAT32. You have to try to symlink /app/data to folder on sdext partition. Create a folder /data/sdext2/playstore, copy /data/app/* there, delete /data/app and symlink /data/sdext2/playstore as /data/app. Sdext partition uses linux filesystem and all symlinks should work properly. I haven't tested it yet, but will do in a minute.
EDIT:
It doesn't work with Link2SD. Phone hangs on boot. It's probably cause Link2SD app must be directly in internal memory (so in real /data/app, not symlinked). I'll try to symlink /data/data or /data/dalvik-cache to save some internal memory but I doubt it'll work.
It's my first relevant post in here so please be benevolent and friendly to me .
Hello everyone,
After long hours of roaming around on the internet, Moto forums, PowerAMP forums (you wouldn't believe how many people posted this problem in there), huge exchange of emails and debugs to the Nexus Media Importer dev, and checking out many many topics here on XDA, I finally came across the only way to use an USB-OTG pendrive as a music library, and having Android detect it (through the Media Service) and build the music library for other media apps to use.
tl dr; Problem: You wanted loads of music without wasting precious internal memory. You tried using an USB pen but no mp3 apps were able to find the files, nor stickmount, nor whatever.
This is so far the only way to do this on android Marshmallow.
Believe me, I've tried almost everything one can do, including using the Nexus Media Importer, Stickmount, OTG Helper, etc (spoiler alert, none of these worked).
Why is this happening, you ask? Well, Google changed things on Android 6.x.x so much regarding filesystems and USB support that full read/write on USB OTG with other apps no longer works, although I've never tested on previous versions of Android. But I finally managed to find a way to do it, and here I intend to share it with you guys.
Requirements - Rooted phone and permissive SELinux (what is that and how do I do it? don't worry, it's easy and I'll explain a bit later)
1st step - Verify that your phone is capable of using USB-OTG. If it is not, check on play store for other apps that supposedly can enable USB Host support on your phone, although I've never tried them because I never needed, so I can't say anything. My phone is a Moto X 2014 and it comes with OTG support embedded.
2nd step - Format your pendrive as NTFS. This is very important because...
If you use your pendrive as Fat32, Android will mount it to a folder in /data/media_rw/blablabla with GID and UID 1023 (media_rw), which most apps don't have permissions to access, thus they won't be able to find your pendrive and build a music library. Why? Well, glad you asked...
...Since Fat32 doesn't support the linux permissions system, Android mounts the pendrive with the FUSE fs wrapper, which cloaks a permission system hard-coded into some file in the Android system that I wasn't able to tell how could I modify it in order to set the pen permissions as 777 root root.
You can do so by plugging your pen on a Windows PC and right clicking -> Format. Remember to backup your data, otherwise you will lose everything. Your pen will still be able to be used on Windows pcs and Macs. You could also use other fileformats...
... like EXT4 or f2fs or exFAT or whatever, but do it at your own risk. I have no idea if those would work, despite them being able to use the linux permission system.
3rd step - Install the wonderful app Paragon HFS and NTFS mounter from appstore or whatever. They say it isn't compatible with marshmallow but it is, the only issue is that it can't mount a pendrive automatically but it's very easy to do it manually. In the settings menu, you can set SELinux as permissive. Since I'm not an android dev, only an ambicious amateur, I can't really explain what it does or what happens when you do that. So far, neither me or my phone died because of that, so.
Oh by the way, whenever you insert the pen , Android will say it's corrupted and ask you to format it. DO NOT DO IT! That happens because Android doesn't natively support NTFS (hence using an external app to solve that). Oh, and since we're talking about that, there is a way for Android to natively support NTFS...
..., just search it up on XDA. Beware that it's outdated and it won't work on Marshmallow either, unless you edit the copymodulecrc script, but that goes beyond my knowledge. For now, stick to the plan.
4th step - You need to choose the folder which you want to mount the pen to, which will be a folder in the root Android folder (I chose /pen so that I wouldn't forget)
You are now probably thinking, "That's insane! You need to edit init.rc in order to do that!" Well, you're kinda right, but there is a workaround for that. Why do I do this? Well...
... if you mount the pen in another random folder such as /storage/emulated/0/pen it won't work because all the folders underlying that one have certain permission issues that don't let other media apps be able to search for music files.
So here I'll show you two ways of accomplishing this.
4.1 Editing init.rc - This is very complex and NOT RECOMMENDED unless you're very comfortable with messing with boot files. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS if you aren't sure of what you're doing, don't tell me I didn't warn you.
So in order to do this, well, I won't explain it to you. Search it up on the internet, it's very complex and too big for me to post here. But in the end what you want to do is edit the init.rc file, adding two lines:
"mkdir /pen" and "chmod 777 /pen".
4.2 Creating a script that runs on boot - This is the one method I recommend since it's harmless, but you have to install yet another app, that allows you to run scripts at boot. I used script manager. Then create a script that mounts the / folder as rw, creates the folder /pen, chmods it to 777. I used the following:
#!/system/bin/sh
su -c mount -o rw,remount /proc /
su -c mkdir /pen
su -c chmod 777 /pen
I tried other mount -o commands with rootfs instead of /proc but they didn't work. I don't know the difference but I hope it's harmless. Anyways, let's move on.
Run the script to see if it works, and to create the folder. Use a rooted file explorer to verify if the folder was created.
5th step - Reboot your phone if you had to set SELinux as permissive, and type on the Terminal "su -c getenforce" to confirm that your SELinux is permissive.
VERY IMPORTANT - On the Paragon app, open settings and disable FS access rights, otherwise it's the same as mounting a Fat32 pendrive - not what we want.
On the Paragon app, choose the folder we created before as the folder to mount the pen to, and mount the pendrive. If you followed all the previous steps correctly, the app won't have any issues mounting the pen.
6th step - Find a way to enforce Android building a media library with the new files in the USB OTG pendrive. There are many ways to do this and I recomment the one I used, but I will tell you other ways.
I used the app jetAudio which is a media player that can also forceably build a media library. On jetAudio settings menu, press "Rebuild media library" and point to the /pen folder. It will start reading all the files and Android now detects your pendrive as a media library.
Another way would be to use an app called FolderMount, and creat a symlink from the /pen to another folder in your emulated SD storage (you know, the only folder you have access to if you're not rooted), and wait for some time until hopefully Android detects your new music. If you don't want to use FolderMount, do a symlink with another method (like the ln command)
EDIT - Another cool way I found elsewhere on StackExchange is to run this command (through a script or whatever):
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED -n com.android.providers.media/.MediaScannerReceiver (-d file:///pen)
which forces Android to run a media scan. The part on parenthesis is optional, you can use it to choose the folder in which Android runs the media scan.
Hurray! Congrats for reaching this part of the post. If you did everything correctly, all media apps will finally be able to find the files. I posted some screenies to orientate you.
Feel free to ask anything and I will try to answer or explain. Remember that I'm no Android dev so my knowledge is limited. Feel free to thank me, if you want too.

Why so compilcated? USB-OTG is supported on the fly by Android 6.0 / Marshmallow, but unfortunately most of the N7-kernels have a bug which lead to reboot on unmounting the OTG-Device. Nevertheless the next version of Android 6 AOSP on Grouper should have it fixed this issue ...

It's not as straight-forward as you're saying.
Most media player apps that weren't updated to support Android 6's native USB OTG support will not be able to read a pen's contents. This topic that I made is aimed to circumvent the issue by mounting the pen in a different way. That bug you mentioned is not something I want to solve, and even if a new kernel solved the issue that I'm talking about, most manufacturers wouldn't update their devices...
Ok, you may be right with apps which are not yet updated to support Marshmallow, I didn't check that.

Oh, and maybe now that I think of it, this could solve the problem, since mounting/unmounting is done with the Paragon app instead of Android. Give it a shot

Using native otg function, you can only copy files between phone and otg dive. To open a file e.g. To install apk from otg, you have to first copy it to phone's storage. On many media player, video can only be played sequentially (seek bar doesn't work).

Hey, is there any way for you to determine the path of your root folder? Maybe using ES File Explorer. For some phones, the root folder isn't pointed to /.
EDIT - If you can't do that, try replacing the first of those commands with the following:
su -c mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
I'm also getting the same issue as kashinath, won't let me create pen. I've also tried pointing the mounter to a directory in /storage/emulated/0/pen but it seems to just crash and restart the app.
EDIT:
Okay so I've solved the problem completely differently. The otg storage is found in /mnt/media_rw, so I used the app "FolderMount [ROOT]" to point the folder "pen" (in the internal storage) to the /mnt/media_rw/*random string* folder. I then used the app "media.Re.Scan:" to force the media scanner to scan that folder as it didn't seem to want to do it. Now all apps seem to be working.
What tipped me off about this was this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/marshmallow-usb-otg-mounting-media-t3230588
It seems you have to turn the folder mount on/off every time you plug/unplug the USB drive otherwise it won't play the files.
Thanks for the detailed instructions nonetheless.

Yeah forget mounting anything in the /storage/emulated/0...
According to the post you linked in your comment, "6.0 mounts to /mnt/media_rw/ but I can't seem to get any media players to see it. I tried creating a symbolic link in /storage/emulated, but I get an error with root explorer about symbolic links not being supported" which is exactly what happened to me
If you don't like the folder mount alternative you can always do a bind command (but i'm not sure how it works), search it up and see if you get any results.
Is your pen in Fat32 though?
There is a workaround for the pen thing... If you use Total Commander and want to edit any files in /, it asks you to run a command that mounts the / folder. Try to see what command it is and replicate it into the script, then the rest might work.
Thank you so much !! It worked on my XT1033 falcon dual sim - MM6.0 identity crisis 1.3a . I can finally restore all my nandroid backups.
Just to correct shouldn't the last command in the script be
su -c chmod 777 /pen
instead of
su -c chmod /pen 777

For my phone the Root folder's path is "/" so I'll put 2 arrows where the path to root is in the command:
" su -c mount -o rw,remount /proc --> / <-- "
So imagine your root path is /root
The command would look like this: " su -c mount -o rw,remount /proc /root " (without "" of course)
If you still can't find the path to your root folder, try searching on the internet "root folder for xxxxx phone"
Hope it helps

Turns out my phone's root folder is also / , and I'm still getting the same error (mount: '/' not in /proc/mounts)
Maybe its because I have Nougat :/
EDIT: So I think I managed to kinda work around that, I change the command to " su -c mount -o rw,remount / " and it ended up making the pen folder and no errors came out. So I then proceeded to open Paragon, disabled FS access rights, ensured that SELinux was permissive (it is) and change the mount point to the /pen folder, I finally proceeded to manually mount the thing BUT even tough that in my notifications says that I mounted it, on the app it still says that my Flash Drive is still not mounted (even tough it detects it and know that it is an NTFS file system). Basically whenever I try to mount my Flash Drive it wont work even tough the app detects it.

Ooooh. Remember the topic is called "Full USB OTG on Media Players in Marshmallow"
I can't help you then, sorry. The only thing I can tell you is to open the /proc/mounts file as text on the top there should be a command that tells android to mount the root folder as rootfs I believe.
Maybe that could help.

Basically whenever I try to mount my Flash Drive it wont work even tough the app detects it.

Try to open the /pen folder, try to see in the properties of /pen if the permissions are set to 777.

It is set as 0777, so yes (if the 0 is not supposed to be there)

Hmm... If you can open the folder fine and maybe create a file in there or something then I can't help you any further. The paragon app doesn't let you do much regarding troubleshooting.
Try using the methods that other people did like using Foldermount or something like that.
