To quickly unmount USBs?

[Happychris]

Are there any widgets that will unmount a USB device? I am aware of the 2012 effort www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?1000-UnMount-Widget&highlight=unmount+USB
But that seems to have died. It's this so, Petrus?

I am Using StickMount to mount mine but,to unmount, that requires one to find it's icon on a crowded screen find'unmount'in the displayed menu. A slightly simple solution would be nice.

Have you tried from the terminal with umount? (root is necessary)

1. Download/open a terminal from your device
2. Type:

su
umount /location/of/mount

If this works, you could also create a script and use something like SManager + Widgets to add a widget to your desktop for easier access.

It's a good thing we have USB On the Go right. Really simplifies things

Using the terminal lines above, you can add those lines to an sh file and use SManager + SMWidgets to create a single-click widget on your home screen. See here for more details. The instructions should be more or less the same but please make sure to read the first post in full as you will need to follow the original steps at the bottom for SManager/SMWidget instructions.

If you are also having issues trying to dismount your drive using the terminal (device/resource is busy), and your drive is NTFS, please take a look here (near the bottom) for more information on how to fix it. This fix should also stop the need for 3rd-party applications to mount your drive for you, as well as stop the extra long media scan upon boot.
