The Nexus 4 is not supported - 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.
----- 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.
