Mounting USB Mass Storage devices on the Galaxy Nexus was a given. However, it is more than likely that you have faced difficulties in doing so, despite the fact that the Galaxy Nexus supports the USB On-The-Go feature. Apparently, Google has disabled the automated mounting for mass storage devices for some reason unknown to us right now. So while Google works on this and decides to push out an update or a fix for this issue, XDA-Developer forum member Chainfire has released an app called, StickMount. What does the app do? It automatically mounts and dismounts your USB mass storage devices. Oh and, if you’re not rooted, this app is not for you. More on the app, after the break!
Alright, so once you have StickMount installed on your phone, and you connect a USB mass storage device to it via the USB host / OTG cable, you will see a pop up on the screen asking you if you want to open StickMount. However, if the USB mass storage device is already connected and you install the app after that, you will have to manually launch the app or reconnect the USB mass storage device again.
It is important to note that currently, the app only supports disks formatted as FAT partitions.
