[Q] mounting as external drive in all apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

here's the problem.... in my stock rom otg works
just fine.... mounts automatically and all apps shows
external drive option....
but in one of my fav. custom rom it doesn't
mounts.... I've to manually mount it with a mounting
app (usb host diagnostic) to root>mnt>usbotg.....
then, I can enter it from root>mnt>usbotg with x-
plore... but it doesn't show up in any app as
external storage drive, as if it hasn't recognized by
Android at all.
But in stock rom its working just fine..... Its not a
problem with otg as i can access it and read and
write files in it..... I think its just a problem about
mounting.... any solution to make usb otg visible to
all apps as external storage drive?

un-mounting USB storage?

I've got the RR ROM (root) and was looking for a clean way to unmount USB storage device?
ie mounted via OTG cable
I only see an unmount option for SD card.

[Q] no usb storage nor external sd after installation of rr

I've installed the newest RR rom today and everything worked like a charm but suddenly I realized that my usb storage and external sd aren't mounting correctly. When I try to download something in the browser my phone says you need a usb storage to download stuff. And when I open the gallery it says no external storage available and it closes. When I go to settings > storage and click Mount USB-Storage it starts to mount and then suddenly it disappears. Also it doesn't work to connect my usb storage to my pc.
I tried nearly everything even in recovery mode my phone can't mount the storage or sd card but funny fact: I can access my storage via recovery mode > install zip from sd card > choose zip from internal sdcard and boom everything is there.
WTF is going on!
Does anyone know what is going on and even better how could I solve it?
Thanks and regards Lukas.

How to mount an external USB stick in OmniROM?

How do I mount an external USB stick? I thought it was under /mnt/usbdisk0, but it's apparently not. I can access this folder and create folders in it fine, but it's still there, and I can manipulate files on it even after I unplug the drive. Also, accessing this directory does not power on the USB light. How do I access external USB drives in OmniROM? The drive is formatted in FAT32, so it should be accessible from any device.

Slowdown/Freeze when copying to OTG device

When I am copying a huge file from my internal / extSD memory to a OTG usb stick, I am somewhat unable to use my phone during the copying process. It appears as if my phone has slowed down a lot or frozen.
Same happens when copying from my laptop to internal or extSD memory via MTP.
Any ideas how to fix this?
When I connect to USB OTG of my phone with a pendrive it says drive error everytime... what might be the problem ???

[SHARING][APP][ROOT] USB MASS STORAGE Enabler

This app is for mounting your External SD (Memory Card) in Mass Storage in your rooted phone..
It does not mount internal storage, and it will not work if your device doesn't have External Memory Card Support..
(And this app automatically sets the SE Linux Enforcement to 'Permissive')
Note:
This will work only if there is FUSE driver built-in in your kernel..
This won't work if SD Card (Memory Card) is used as Internal Storage from Marshmallow 6.0, since it's formatted as an EXT4 partition and encrypted.
Steps to Enable UMS:
1. Connect phone to Computer or TV or DVD or whatever.
2. Open the 'UMS Universal' app and press 'Enable UMS' and give it root access.
