Stickmount is not working in Android 4.2 at this time , probably due to the virtual directory structure for multiple users. Let's hope Chainfire fixes it quickly. There are multiple reports at xda and I can verify that mine shows an empty usb drive. Stickmount shows the usb drive as mounted, but does not read and contents, so if you need Stickmount, I suggest waiting for a fix before installing 4.2.

Does NEXUS MEDIA IMPORTER work under JB 4.2.?
The 7-day version might suffice as an interim measure.

Yes it works. I have the full version. Not sure if that makes any difference.

Their photo app viewer works, so that will tel you that the full version works according to the developer and I can verify that you can see the other content on the OTG drive, but the app only opens picture files. I will wait a few days to see what developes with Stickmount.

I tested photos, docs and video and it worked fine.

Not at all happy with 4.2. Grey bar appears on the left side of the screen on startup. Disappears, but not a good harbinger.
Tiny Cam app now forcing me to sign in to Amazon Apps on every startup to run it, I'm assuming due to multiuser authentication issues. That SUCKS! And it's a paid app.
Still checking other issues, but this is NOT ready for prime time...

The grey bar on the left side of the screen is where you can add widgets to the lockscreen, swipe the screen to the right and you'll see a +, tap it to choose a widget.

From Chainfire's Twitter: "Re: StickMount and friends, Android 4.2 has per-process mount separation ... this complicates things. "
After reading Chainfire's tweet, I am encouraged that we will see "Stickmount" working again with 4.2.

Thanks. That was helpful.

Just for those who are displeased with the "grey bar", there's an app on GP that removes the lock screen widgets. Its called Lockscreen Policy (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordpress.chislonchow.deviceadminkeyguard)

Any news with Stick mount? I read somewhere that the developer is really pissed about people giving bad reviews at the store because the of the 4.2 incompatibility at the moment. IMO,he should be pissed.. justifiably so. I think he even threatened not updating because of it. That would really suck. Great app.

Incidents like this are what pushes devs to stop their work, or start releasing lite versions with limited capability with a paid version for those dedicated supporters. I think everyone here should take the time to thank the dev and write a positive review.

I agree.

I think Chainfire may be a bit preoccupied with "superuser" at this time, as it was completely broken in 4.2. Although I will have to agree that positive support and patience will see "Stickmount" fixed in 4.2.

An update to stickmount just issued, and fixing the 4.2 issue is listed.
I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.

Still not working...
EDIT: Okay so it is working...

Bought the pro version key. Show ya luv.

If you don't buy the Pro version, then please do not complain if your free version fails. Nexus Media Importer is available for $2.99 US and you cannot save to your USB drive, but it works without root and removes users from complaining about Stickmount, who fail to support development. With my rooted Nexus 7, I will pay the $2.49 US and enjoy the USB connectivity that is not native to our device. It is understandable that some users cannot afford to monetarily support the developer, but their supporting voice is of value as well. My support to Chainfire.

I did not realize that I need stickmount badly after the 4.2 update
So I buy the pro to show support to Chainfire

Pro key here too, worth the money to support the Chainfire in his awesome work for the community.

- (Pro) Kill processes that are preventing unmounting
- (Pro) Trigger media scanner on (un)mount

Anyone still having problems with Stickmount?
Just reinstalled it after rooting, but no files are displayed.
I know they're on the USB stick as Nexus File Importer sees them fine.

Have you updated today CBers...
I've had problems with it before todays update, haven't tried since updating. If your still having problems after updating try unmounting the drive and remounting, if that doesn't work unmount detach, reattach and remount...
-
I did.
Even uninstalled & reinstalled but still the same.
It's in es file explorer and root explorer that I don't see anything.
Am I looking in the wrong place?
/sdcard/usbstorage/sd1 is the path that Stickmount displays.
With NMI the files are visible in the app.

Yeah that's the right file path, I'll test it in a little while unless somebody else can before me...
-
No problems here, just tested it and look...

All I can suggest is to keep unmounting and retrying....as it was working okay and Nexus Media Importer is working it can't be your OTG cable so it must be a software glitch??

OK, looks like my USB drive was NTFS, as when I formatted it to FAT32, it worked fine.
Thought NTFS worked with StickMount, NMI does.
EDIT: Just found the following of the description of the app on GP:
----- 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.
You can find the needed files here:
