StickMount Update Fixes Android 4.2 Compatibility Issues, Adds Pro Version

StickMount is a root app made by the famous Chainfire that allows you to mount storage over USB. While Nexus devices lack microSD cards, you can add storage by using a USB OTG cable and adding storage with USB media.You plug a USB drive into the OTG cable, plug the cable into your device, and use StickMount to mount and use it. It’s a simple, if not a little bulky, way to add storage to a device.

The app was rendered useless after the Android 4.2 update due to some security changes in 4.2, but Chainfire updated it today and it’s fully working. He also introduced a pro version that includes a feature to kill apps preventing unmounting and to trigger a media scan after mounting or unmounting. But it really supports development of this app and many more that Chainfire makes, so it’s worth the $2.49 price tag. Hit the source links to get it!

 Haloruler64 i was actually HOPING that he'd release a paid version, this dude does so much for the community (and he's also really nice to boot!)

Love StickMount. But (1) why doesn't Android do this by default and (2) why doesn't Android let you do this without rooting?

 johnny99 Because Google has decreed that external storage is verboten.

 johnny99 I couldn't tell you why. Security? What Spoke Word said about Google not liking external storage? No clue, But at least we have free ways!
