I don't want to sound stupid but wouldn't this script work if we just made it run on boot? Is adb impossible to interface with locally? Couldn't we simply get an app with root granted to run this script on boot or perhaps through init.d or another method?

Yes you can..but on empty folder..i can't move if not empty

Btw slig?why don't you.make this app playstore available?well...lot of people need this app surely...or is it because you kept all previous app :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zmore:
Yes, there are multiple methods, not all of which are working. Now that CM10.1 has fixed bind mount propagation between app processes (again), the local adb workaround app isn't necessary, though it still might be useful on other ROMS.

For whatever reason, mounts from system and user initscripts aren't working, so I'm using the SManager app to run my mount script on onboot. (The app doesn't have the best user interface)

Being a cmdline-loving linux user, I'd prefer using initscripts, though, such that the mount is setup earlier, because sometimes Play Music runs before the app sets up the bind, which results in everything in the external dir getting wiped out when you open the music app the first time after bootup. My workaround has just been to ALWAYS REMEMBER to ForceQuit Play Music once after every bootup before I use it.

Doesn't work anymore after 3 apps

Hi,

i just blinded 3 apps (games) with this utility and they worked fine.... but after these 3, it never works again...

Now, if i use it, it blinds the folder, but it creates a copy, so I have the source and the target files 2 times (internal and external memory, repeated).

In first 3 times i used the program deteled files from original target, and they are only on source.

But now, files are in 2 folders: original (internal memory) and microsd.

If i just try to delete the original folders from internal memory, then both disappear: target and source, and I have to copy again the files to my tablet from my pc (or download them again directly from tablet).

It's strange, because as I said it worked 3 times, and after then never work correctly again.

I just tried to reinstall the app again, but same happens.

How about you add a sleep 5 then force close Play Music in your mount script? Just a suggestion because I have no idea which Linux commands are included in a typical busybox install.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 911-Future_Maker:
Don't worry bro, I have exactly the same issue on different ROMs. Sometimes the source files are deleted, sometimet not. XD The most interesting thing is that now we have x 2 same data folders, existing in different directories:internal and external sd, keeping the same files, but actually the phone shows more free space available on intetnal sd after bind. So ignore that the files are not deleted, in fact the app do it's job. If you delete the files you'll need to download game data again.

This happens with large single obb files in most of cases. Multiple data files are always deleted in my experience. I believe it's a kind of bug, sadly the developer retired.

Hah. I don't know why I didn't try that sooner, so thanks. busybox is very complete, but rather than using pkill, killall, or doing an old 'kill $(ps|grep music|awk blahhblah)', I've found that it's simpler and more correct to just call on android's own ActivityManager ("am") to kill it.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 911-Future_Maker:
You can't download game data directly to an external sd, but with DirectoryBind you can move the files from your internal sd to the external sd card. Choose the game which data you want to move, now in DB for "target" navigate to that folder, press ok. After that for "source"choose the path in your external sd where you want to place moved data. It's recommended that you have the same names for both folders, but not necessary. You have to do that for every game data you want to move. Good luck dude and report any issues.

Thnx for the reply. Dang I was hoping it would allow me to do that. The game I want to download is over 1gb in size. It just fails due to lack of storage. I guess I could delete some stuff but that's going to be a hassle. Damn you lg! What good is a smartphone with so little garbage memory?!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kt-Froggy:
Really? Sorry, I am not a gamer, so it may work differently for games, but judging from my experience with other software, it may be possible... For example, I am using NavFree GPS navigation. After binding its data directory to a location on extSdCard, ALL my map downloads from that moment on are physically going to an external SD (easily verified by unbinding and checking). So, if you know the specific directory the app is trying to download its data to, you can bind it in advance (may need to actually create it first), and it should enable the app to download the data straight to that location. Am I wrong on this?

Sv: [TOOL] DirectoryBind - move data to external_sd (GameLoft, Shadowgun etc.) ROOT r

I still feel the terminology is whack. Why mess with established concepts? It would be so much easier if it was like this:

Source path = the path to the dir/files you want to move.

Target path = the path to where you want your dir/files to be.

I got a question. I asked it in a memory swap topic but nobody answered me for days.

What you think is best, swapping internal and external storage or using Directory Bind? I can't analyze the pros and cons enough to get a conclusion. My tablet is swapped and my phone uses Directory Bind and I can't decide.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 911-Future_Maker:
Lol man, this cannot be real: you tried both variants, but still can't decide. XD

I'm not swapped, but imagine you have big enough external sd, for example 32GB so swapping the memories is much better than using some app and manualy to do all the job.

btw, I'm also in searching for good working script for swapping mount points, the one for GS3 not worked for me in the past on other ROM. So if you find a working one PM me mate. :]
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Munemasa:
Yeah! I just can't decide. Me tablet is a little slow, I don't know if it's its problem or the swap problem.

It may be variable depending your ROM, in most of cases you DO NOT need to change that setting in DB.

When you open the app, the target and source paths are already filled up and the right directories.

Just long press on it and select the folder you want to move.

i was just wondering why my directory bind app does not have "persistent service" option in the settings..and what release is the newest o, m n, or k?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] egingell:
We can only assume, and by "we" I mean "I", that the versioning is alphabetical ascending just like Android versions. We haven't exactly had much interaction with the OP/dev.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 911-Future_Maker:
Newest is o. Don't know why your persistent service option is missing, but the best thing is to reinstall the app.

Indeed, if he still supported DB may be with new updates we would by able to mount something in data/data path. =]
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tipsy13:
I was just thinking the same thing but it's common practice to put the newest version at the top of the list. I bet a lot of people thought the same thing. Maybe that's why i don't have the persistent service on my Directory Bind.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 911-Future_Maker:
Quite sounds like a very likely probability - I'll guess that many folks just downloaded the first file in the list expecting it'll be the newest. ^^
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] egingell:
I have the "o" version and I do have the Persistent Service option.

Edit: I've seen file lists that were sorted ascending, descending, and "no particular order." The latter is just dumb, but some devs do it. It's usually when the dev uses a "no leading zeros" format (e.g. 1.11 > 1.2), Blizzard uses this format :/, which confuses auto-sorting.

Didnt have time to do the logcat dump right now. What I think is happening is that you need to sleep for 10-15 seconds after your recieve the boot message to let android do all of its sd mounting stuff.

Bindings not displayed at home screen

I've been experimenting with using this for Spotify with mixed results. My most recent attempt was to download my entire collection which is around 8GB. Using Directory Bind it appears to move a large amount of data. However there seems to be a file limit of a little more than 2000 files and only 2GB was transferred.

In addition, I have never been successful in getting the bindings to show up at the home screen. My assumption is that after you add a binding it should be displayed with a check box so you can select it and use the "Bind checked" option.

Anyone else with similar issues? Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blueeagle69:
Weird mate.

I have only used it for moving large data files for games. And so far entries appear in the list of bound directories ready to be mounted.

Will have to try it on other things too.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] swiftyjpow:
I was able to get the entry to show up in the list of bound directories at the home screen. I did this by uninstalling Spotify, deleting all directories and reinstalling Spotify. I then created a new directory binding WITHOUT moving data. This allowed the binding to be created properly.

However, when I then synced some of my playlists none of the data is placed on the external sd card in the data folder!

So DirectoryBind is not creating any kind of a hard link that will redirect incoming data to the new location at all.

Is the developer active in this forum at all. I wonder be very interested in working on getting this operational for cloud apps.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blueeagle69:
I know what you mean.

I believe I had the same issue with a game.

Will try this again when I get the chance.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blueeagle69:
Yep you're right.

I downloaded some of a games data files then cancelled it.

I then moved the data files using Directory Bind.

Reloaded the game to continue the download, and it carried on writing the files to the internal SD. Even though the entry was mounted.

Games runs fine (sd card class 10, 32Go).

Small question, this app only run the "bind" command on startup, right ?
