[Utility] USB Mass Storage Tool Now with OTG Support [Update: 6-13-2011]

UPDATE 6-13-2011 !! HUGE UPDATE.... OTG DRIVES NOW SUPPORTED !! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skidmrk.umswatcherotg
So it's been a long time since i've checked in. This is mostly due to where i was in the development of the new version. I couldn't really work on fixes when i'd rewritten the entire codebase. Well your waiting should be worth the wait. If you have the old version installed from the market you'll have an update waiting. After the update it will tell you there is a new version for Android 3.1 devices. It will take you to the market to download a new app "UMS Watcher OTG" I know this is kinda dumb not currently the android marketplace will not allow for device or os specific version. So i had to make a 2nd app specifically for 3.1 devices. (Since 3.1 is the first build to offically support OTG mode.)(i retained the old version for pre 3.1 devices)
All of the features of the old version should still exist. But now the mounting dialogs are all handled within app. You'll notice this time we actually have a full interface. More than just the simple settings page. UMS mounting should work just fine. Hopefully this will resolve all of the issues people have been having. At least i think it will. If there are still issues i will now be able to work on it since i'm done with the current code.
With the new version installed you'll be greeted with a dialog anytime you plug in a drive via an otg cable. This will then set UMS watcher otg as the default handler for that device. Then any time you plug that device in again it will automatically open the app. This is where you'll really see changes in the app. You will see each of your attached devices enumerated in an expandable list. If you expand any of the drives you'll see the partitions. You can mount and unmount any partition. When mounting you'll be asked the partition type and target mount point. I attempt to auto-detect the partition fs type but i'm not able to differentiate between versions of ext, and between versions of hfs/hfs+. Each partition's settings will be saved. and is keyed to the uuid of the partition. if you format/partition the drive those uuid's change. When finding the mountpoint you can browse the entire file system and even create new directories within app (i can't tell you how much time i spent working out an in app directory browser.) You will also notice partition sizes and disk usage. Note: you won't see disk usage until the partition is mounted (not really an easy way around it). You should be able to have as many simultaneous drives attached, (with as many partitions as you want).
You should know that the fs types are only supported if you're kernel has the modules for them. Tiamat currently has fat/ntfs/ext/hfs/hfs+ modules so all of these should work. The kernel modules will be loaded on demand, so no need to worry about loading them manually.
BIG NOTE:::: HFS+ DOES NOT CURRENTLY WORK.
This appears to be an issue with the kernel module, I'll start working with BRD to get it sorted out.
Checkout the about page to see all of the features.
With this big of a code change there are bound to be bugs. I'll work on them as quickly as posisble, email me or post here when you find any.
This has been a huge amount of work. (lots of learning) The code has gone up in size by almost 2 orders of magnitude. and has been hours and hours of work, so enjoy and if you do a review on the market would be nice. I really didn't anticipate the amount of downloads that i got on V1. >4000 . I also couldn't believe the different types of device, or locales. On that note if anyone wants to help me localize to other languages I'd really appreciate the help. (Google Translate might have to do).
As before any bugs or feature requests can go here or can be emailed to me at apps <at> skidmrk <dot> com . I really hope people like this and use it. (i'd hate to have all the work go out for nothing.)
Thanks to everyone who have helped out so far.

==============================================
UPDATE 5-20-2011 !! TIAMAT UMS KERNEL FOR 3.1 HAS ARRIVED !!
Ok BRD sent me his 3.1 kernel with ums compiled in. I've attached it below.(install via CMR, following the instructions in the tiamat kernel post)
I haven't finished the updates to the app to add ntfs/fat/etc mounting. Things ended up getting a little busy. I should have an update for the app come sunday/monday (going camping for the weekend)
BRD tells me he can't really support the ums stuff any more so i guess i'll take over ums builds (assuming i can figure it all out).
Getting very close to 1000 market downloads. Wow i didn't ever expect that many. I noticed that we have quite a few people with non english locales. Does anyone want to offer translations. I can and will localize (i feel it's important).
Also any requests for the new app version. So far i have a request for unified otg mounting interface. Localization, Kernel Detection and Download. Anything else you'd like to see?
Enjoy the new kernel (and you can thank BRD for it... i didn't really do anything to build it).
Also you don't need to reinstall my app. Once you install the new kernel it will start working again.
=================================================
UPDATE 5-10-2011 !! We're on the market !!
Nothing new yet (waiting on the otg cable) but now you can get the app via the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skidmrk.umswatcher
Please use this market link for downloads. It will be easier to keep your app updated ... i will however continue post the apks here and use this post to work with users (bug and features).
I haven't had a chance to test this on 3.1 because i've not yet updated... not to mention there isn't a kernel yet for 3.1.
As always feedback is much appreciated.
UPDATE 5-9-2011 NEW VERSION (new features)
Yeah for updates.
I finally figured out how to detect when something mounts the usb mass storage, so now the notification changes depending on the state of the usb mass storage. Finally it has the exact same behavior as android normally has.
I implemented the requested feature of automounting the usb mass storage. I'm not sure how many people would want it but it's there now (and kinda cool)
I've actually hooked in to the private api calls that android uses to mount usb storage (same call used in the native mount app). I figure that is a very safe way to do automounting. (and was a pain in the but to figure out)
Also out of necessity there is now an app you can run. This is just a page for managing settings. It doesn't have to be run for this app to work. Currently there is the "automount" setting and the "show notifications" setting. I figure with the automount feature this might serve useful on other devices for just that function, so those people can disable the notifications. I'll post this on the market as soon as i figure out how. (free of course).
As far as other devices go i tested it on my droid 1 and it works fine (for both notifications and automount). Feel free to test it on whatever you like.
Let me know if there are any other feature you want. I thought able customizing the notification (with sound, led, or vibrate) but that didn't make it in this build.
As before let me know what you think. Feedback can only make this better.
----------
For people still on tiamat 1.4.0 that want to use usb mass storage, have i got an app for you. I found it tedious to use the recommended scripter. So I saw this as an opportunity to write my first albeit basic application.
So attached you'll find it "Usb Mass Storage Watcher". The app listens for usb connections and when it detects one it will add the "mount usb" notification just like the standard android interface. Click on it and it will bring up the mount usb app.
The app does not need to be run at startup or ever really. When it is installed it registers itself as a listener for the usb connection events. It gets called by android os when those event happen. So basically it operates exactly like android is supposed to.
Special thanks to:
Kevin(at)TeslaCoil
LouZiffer(at)SDX
for their ShellCommand (su/sh) class.
Let me know what you think. I'd really like feedback.
-D

Just tested it, works great, thanks a lot.
Is it possible to have an option to turn on mass storage automatically when it finds a connection? I assume it could be ejected from Windows like a regular flash drive, so I wouldn't have to interact with the Xoom.

Thank you for this. It works perfecftly. I stuck with kernel 1.3.2 because I didn't want to deal with the whole script thing. I'm now running 1.40

wow that is a nice app....thank you so much

can't open apk -.-
Hi! This is the app I was waiting for (I didn't realy understand the script thing)
Thanks...
Unfortunatly i can't open the apk file... If I try to, I get an Error (just now it in german): "Beim analysieren des Pakets ist ein Problem aufgetreten"
Google Translate : When analyzing the package a problem accured
Have I done anything wrong?
Im rooted, on tiamat 1.4.1 and in options I have checkt hat I can install apks from unknown origine

Did you download directly from your Xoom? If so, try downloading to your computer and copying it over. Either way should work, but it may help.

Thanks! Downloading to Pc and pushing over to xoom worked!
I love this app...

I am having a hard time with this. I installed the file just fine, but when I plug in a usb cable it doesn't do anything on my xoom I the auto play comes up on the computer but it just shows my xoom not the card. I have tiamat 1.4.1 installed. I've tried with USB debugging on as well as off. I have a buddy who's is working perfectly so I know what it should be doing but it's just not. Suggestions?

nevermind I read back through the change log and behold...
Version 1.4.1
Mass Storage has been removed do to stability issues. Your SD Card still works just fine without it!
More updates from Google AOSP.
Please visit Tiamat Xoom Kernel Github Repo for commit history.
so yeah... that's my issue

I've never looked into it but you're talking about mounting an external drive on the xoom (backwards to what my app currently does).
Are you just looking to automount? or do you want an interface like that used for mounting usb mass storage (ie notifications, page to enable/disable).
Technially that would an entirely different app but if i got my hands on an OTG and tested out how it all works i wouldn't mind looking into integrating it. But i just wanted to clarify specifically what you wanted it to do.
-D

For example when you hook up an externel HD via OTG Cable you have to run this command to have it mounted... If your app could automount it that would be a nice addition.
"
Mounting USB disks
use gscript lite to mount disk(s), or you can test this script via adbwireless,...
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /
mkdir /mnt/ntfsdisk
ln -s /mnt/ntfsdisk /ntfsdisk
ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/ntfsdisk

I'd love to see this kind of integration to your app. Don't mind throwing in some kudoes too on the market.

Agreed, the same UI of the mount SD but with the option of mount and unmout USB storage would be cool.

I mentioned this thread yesterday to BRD. I really liked what the 1.4.0 did, but I'm stuck (by choice) to 1.4.1. If he can re-implement the mass storage in the next release with this and what Pyrator mentioned, we will have a very solid update indeed.

1.1 rocks! I love it!

OTG Cable
I'll implement the otg feature if someone can point me in the direction of a cheap otg cable that i can get fast.

[Q] USB Car Audio Fixed in JellyBean?

I know I cannot listen to my music via the USB port on my Honda Civic due to the Mass storage issue unless I root my phone and use an app to enable it for an external SD card. Will JellyBean enable the same functionality that app does or fix the mass storage issue?
The question I'm asking myself if I should wait for Jelly Bean to come out if it fixes the Mass storage issue or should I just go ahead and root my phone now and install the app if Jelly bean does not fix the issue.
Thanks

I have a Honda Accord with a usb audio port working with mass storage. It works perfectly for my family's iphone. I rooted and flashed CM10 (jellybean) and it still doesn't work.. So jellybean won't help you.

Copied from the CM10 Q&A I just posted:
UMS for the external SD is working with CM10, however you will need to take quite a few steps to get it working. I'm running nightly 9/14 currently.
You will need to follow the gscript steps to get it working as the Easy UMS app at the moment does not work (at least for me).
-Download GScript Lite here.
-I've went ahead and modified the script to the correct mount point for CM10. You can download it here.
-Import the scripts in the gscript folder in your internal memory.
-Make sure su is enabled for the script.
-Once the script is done, you will most likely need to switch the drivers for Windows. Go into device manager and you will find Samsung MTP Device or something very similar under portable devices.
-Update drivers and you should have the option to change to Mass Storage Device. You may need to reboot your machine.
-That's it!
I've been struggling with this one for a while and I hope you guys have some success with this one!

[DEV][ROM][JB 4.3][Unofficial] CM10.2.1

CM 10.2
Issue:
No BT call.
Broken audio in VOIP (viber,skype,teamspeak etc). Tinyalsa would fix that, but it breaks calls. ( Read this)
Mic key (voice search) works, you need to enable: settings -> system -> hardware keys -> enable custom actions (check) and app switch set to voice search.
To get home key logn press action: settings -> system -> hardware keys -> enable custom actions (check) and home key (long press) set to Recent app switcher
When you upgrade, phone app may not work, you must remove the shourtcut, and readd. (thanks scotte9999)
Sometimes it stuck boot logo (cm,samsung,roger), or boot loop, try to remove battery and wait 4-5minutes, or flash stock ICS with odin, and try again. (report back if any of those works)
Liblight works very simple, when your lcd birghtness low buttons and keyboard light is on. You can use qwertyled or other liblight,read more.
Slow storage performance in some apps.
Camera doesnt put exif orientation to the jpeg.

gyroscope fix
power off the phone (better remove battery for sure), put on a desk, power on and wait, it shoud calibrate itself.
Fix skype audio
Read this. It will break your call sound, Incoming calls work fine with ring tone on.
Slow io performance
type as root:
echo 0 >/sys/module/sync/parameters/fsync_enabled
You can place in /system/etc/init.d/S99fsync file this code, chmod 775 /system/etc/init.d/S99fsync , Settings will persist, until reinstall the rom.
Its disable fsync, what makes it faster, but you would lost date on crash. Internal sd card was 1.2M/sec, after 6.2M/sec removed in 20131109

No service, insert SIM and reboot

I noticed that the Phone app as well as Local and Navigation apps aren't available. I'm re-downloading the zip and will do a fresh reinstall. Steps I took to upgrade from CM10.1.2:
Using CWM
1) Copy CM10.2 zip to sdcard
2) Backup
3) Wipe data/factory reset
4) Wipe dalvik cache
5) Install CM10.2 from zip
6) Restore data (advanced restore -> restore data)
7) Reboot
All user installed apps were upgraded upon first boot. And they seem to work fine. Even Gmail and Maps works. I can receive calls, and I can make calls from the People app. But when I tap on the Phone app, a message states that the app is not installed. In addition, there is no Local or Navigation app in my app list.

Facelock is absent
Hello.
I'm did clean installation of this ROM and found that Facelock option in screen lock dialog is absent. Is there any way to add it? Can Gapps installation fix this issue?
And is there any way to speed up PicSphere rendering? It takes over 30 minutes for full sphere (64 photos).
Thank You.

Hey bubor, sorry I could not make a reply back "in time" in the other thread, this 2 weeks were crazy for me; I think that the request for logcat from the first build of cm10.2 is now moot. Focal works, wifi works, I have been rocking it with your build (again, dirty flashed 20130828 i live dangeourly but with my backups on the sdcard).
- Feels Barry White smooth.
- Total commander now only sees the internal SDcard by default, I can still access it manually, but it is not "mounting" in the first screen the /mnt/sdcard1 I'm currently trying to google if this is a total commander issue or related to jb 4.3 or cm 10.2. I cant even find a workaround to manually add it, yet. Anyone else using TC and is now missing the external sd in the main screen?
- Made and receive phone calls as usual, used BT for music with my headset, used the in-ear wired too (the original ones). (also I never could figure out what the button on the mic does other than it is context based),
Overall, the things I use and do with it, so far they work great.

Awesome! I thought my glide would be stuck at Android 4.2, thanks for working on this!
I'll be trying this firmware out as soon as possible.

No, I ask because I'm planning a trip to Mexico and I need a SIM phone. I already have the Gravity 2 unlocked, but I've always been fascinated with this phone as well as the Galaxy Relay 4G. The Captivate Glide is turning into the little engine that could so I'm keeping an eye on any progress made on the ROM front for this phone.
Or for another $100 I could get a Galaxy S4 I9505 clone and just buy a bluetooth keyboard, but...kinda don't want to go that route (I'd rather get a REAL I9505). Plus the Glide is fairly cheap, under $200 at NewEgg. Its the discontinued phone that...continues.

[Q] ROM with working USB Mass Storage?

I recently flashed CM-10.1.3-RC2 and still no UMS. I guess it was removed from CM-10.1 earlier this due to bugginess. I wasn't able to tell if the bugs were in the SGS2 hardware, or CM itself. Can someone clarify? Because, if it's in the HW itself, it will most likely never work. I'm not using Windows so MTP/PTP simply do not work. I must boot into TWRP right now to transfer files. Iv'e also tried
Code:
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage
however no luck there either.
Anyone know of a ROM where UMS is working (AOKP, etc)?
Thanks

Last time I used AOKP (a few months ago), it had working USB Mass Storage. If you don't want to switch ROMs, there's an app called Multi Mount SD Card (Sorry, I can't post a link) that can get UMS working for you.

Some of the reviews say that app didn't work for them so I went ahead and flashed aokp_hercules_jb-mr1_milestone-2. No UMS . Perhaps for the same reasons it's no longer in CM I guess. Happy surprise though: PTP *does* seem to be working under Ubuntu 12.04 with this ROM! Hopefully it's stable so I don't have to boot recovery to get the pics off.
EDIT: Nevermind on the PTP. It's actually not working. For some strange reason it's showing some pics that appear to be on the filesystem and not the device :|
EDIT: For anyone interested, found a link that sort-of gets MTP working on Ubuntu 12.04. You have to add some unstable repos and pull down some non-standard 12.04 libraries and edit some udev configurations. There are some limitations like file size, no drag & drop and opening files directly from the MTP mount point. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223401

[ROM][G800F][UNOFFICIAL] AOSPExtended ROM v.5.8 (O) [10.10.18]

Hi all,
I compiled AOSP Extended ROM v. 5.8 (Oreo) and I thought I would share it here as well.
All credit go to the maintainers of the s5mini device tree(s), to AOSPExtended Team and everyone else who contributed.
What does not work (so far):
- Video Recording
- FlipFlap
- Auto-detect APN (I had to manually set it)
- Call forwarding settings menu: Radio (gms/umts) stops working; needs reboot
- Background light for hardware buttons (fixed)
- NFC (Problem with menu/settings) (fixed)

Download Link: AospExtended-v5.8-kminilte-20181111-1820-UNOFFICIAL.zip removed: (this ROM is quite old and missing security and other features. Use a Pie build: e.g. https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=64356&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC)
Note: This ROM should work on all Exynos based variants(G800F/M/Y), however I could only test on G800F.

Hello,
I just checked SD (external) storage and here it is accessible (I can create and delete files&folders). Do use it as internal storage?
you need to give permission for 3rd party apps like amaze (it did not work the first time)

Yes, I tried to use SD card as internal but also as external device.
I also confirm that folders can be created and files can be copied and erased.
But if I want to acces the external card with any APP (likt dict.cc) which needs access to external SD card, it says memory is not accessible.
Just give me a hint, how shall I give permission to 3rd party apps?
Do I set Memory access is in security section in the settings, because this does not work.
Or do I have to access any config file using a terminal?
Thx for your reply, mate.

I'm thinking that dict.cc app is a broken or not fully supporting Oreo. It doesn't even start properly here..( all white or black screen, then, after a long time, a search bar that is not really working ) and 'dict.cc isn't responding' as well as 'GENERIC ERROR' something (at least on first start).
But, eventually I got it to change the directory: (changed Data Storage Location to /storage/3451-1301/). Even though dict.cc said it didn't work...
All the other apps I tried can also access sdcard:
I inserted SD card and started VLC and get this message:
'New external storage detected. Do you want VLC to add device sdcard1 to your medialibrary?'
VLC then can play the music stored on sdcard...
Also, I could access OSMand maps on sdcard I downloaded a long time ago under a different ROM
Anyway, I attached the screenshot with the instructions from Amaze how to grant access (Amaze opens the standard Files (explorer) to that). Maybe it helps...
edit:
Indeed, dict.cc fails to download to sdcard. But OSMand has no problems at all.

Update
Bugfix:
Background light for hw keys fixed (and configurable)
Other hw buttons (home, back, overview) now configurable
Other (probably) important bugfixes

G'day mongo0,
thx for the reply.
Will try it either today or tomorrow again.
Might be to say farewell to dict.cc.
Thx buddy for the great work
Installed last version and you are absolutely right.
Access to external SD card works fine except using dict.cc. dict.cc doesn't recognize SD card, for whatever reason.
everything works fine so far.
Single prob I am facing right now is, network connection via SIM card (as you have already written in the main post).
As said before, great work, buddy.
THX and greetz

Well, thanks for your feedback. It was also interesting for me to do all the rom compiling..
I probably won't update anymore since it looks like rev. 48 is the final one for Oreo, AEX seems to have stopped updating it, and (some of) the bugs are fixed.

hi; how long did it take you to rom installation ?
Because I wait since 1hour and nothing

That's definitely too long; it should only take 5-7 minutes...
Did you make full wipe (Dalvik/ART, Cache, System, Data(, Data on ext_sdcard)) with twrp-3.2.3-0-kminilte?

I found 2 issues:
1.)
Backup in WhatsApp is not working, same like in LineageOS 15.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78126440&postcount=480
2.)
The display is flickering when dimmed
Great work @mongo0 :good:

Hey ScRe13
Thanks for your feedback.
I can confirm 1.), however I don't see any flickering.
There are some graphical glitches with apps based on apache cordova., apparently..
I did an update 2018-11-11 (resynced sources)
I might give a try to fix the storage issue too

I have testet 2018-11-11, but the chat backup in WhatsApp is still not working.
But the rest of you build is great:good: Incredible fast 8.1 on Samsung S5 mini
Hope you'll release frequent new builds with the current security updates.

Hello,i have installed the Magisk-v18.1. i have no Root
