I can't get many large games to work. Dead space, gta, shadowgun don't but dungeon defenders and machinarium do. On 4.1.2 S3.

Also app really needs a persistent notification. CPU lag and usage is large every time sticky works. Though developer talked about that a long time ago, not much hope now I suppose

Edit: never mind I found the issue. The data I manually copied and typed the directory to link didn't work. Using the folder select to recreate the mounts then works. The green icon showed before but the mount never worked properly.

ExtSd2InternalSd

Has anyone seen this app... looks like the business :D it's called ExtSd2InternalSd

It's basically a script that will make the S3 see the extSD as internal SD and make it use the real internal SD only for apps...

For people that may be googling or just happen to care, I'd just like to confirm that Directory bind works fine with LG 4X, firmware 10f.

It crashed at first launch, not sure why, but works fine after that.

I think I saw some lag here and there, when the system was accessing the external SD. I don't recall seeing anything like that on my Cube U30GT tablet though.

The phone is very new though, so I will post back with further info after I have used it for some time.

All I can see is that bar this app, I would be seriously f$#$%%^:angel:

Having problems after upgrading my Wanamlite ICS rom to JB, i forgot to unbind the directories and installed the new rom, restored all my apps and games via TB, all other games are working except the big ones like of GL and others, tried binding again but no use, any idea about this ? the game always says to download the data.

What is the source data path and mount target path for the galaxy note 2? I know its different from the s3. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] danarama:
Just check in /mnt using any root enabled file manager

The target will probably be /sdcard or /sdcard0. In fact you can browse there using this app

This... THANK YOU SO MUCH... i was so confused deleting stuff to see the other folder getting deleted. dur...

Works great on Stock Rooted T-Mo Note 2

Quick question, how does this affect Titanium backup? After doing the bind, do I just use TB as usual or is there a new method that I need to employ. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Subiegsr:
Says I'm out of space but I'm clearly not. Even when I delete some apps. Anyone have a fix for that?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MohJee:
Hi...

You and many people here seem to be confused about two things which don't relate to each other. Titanium backup backs up apps and their app data. It doesn't back up app directories. Directory binds doesn't touch apps or their data, it only touches directories. So these two apps wouldn't conflict with each other because they work in different levels.

Think of it this way: an app installed in your phone has three parts

1) the app itself (.apk)

2) your data related to that app (eg: your saved progress in a game/your settings in an app)

3) directory files (the additional files needed by some apps to run properly. Many apps store their directories in /android/data, some store it in android/obb, and many just store it outside the android folder)

Titanium deals with 1 and 2

Directory bind deal with 3

So, in short, you use titanium backup as usual without having to unmount things in Directory bind first.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pat357:
Works marvelous on my SG3 GT-I9300.

Good that you added the option to enter an "absolute pad" in the data directory like /mnt/extSdCard/ , because I cannot access my external SD as a sub-directory from my internal SD card.

Just one question :

I suppose it's not wise to use the tool for moving my own ROM backup-data from the internal SD to the external SD ?

Is the binding already active when I boot in CWM recovery ? I think not, but don't know for sure.

Thx again for the great tool !

How do you delete duplicate entries in DB

I am using DB and recently I rebooted my phone and when I wanted to restore the backup, I had to unbind all, but 4 entries would not unbind (picture attached). DB said unable to unbind. It seems they are duplicate.

I would like to delete these extra duplicate entries from DB from my ext_SD, if I delete these duplicates from ext_SD, would they automatically be deleted from DB. There is not provision in DB to delete the entries. How should I do it. Thanks for your help.

DirectoryBind Corrupted my MicroSD?

Hello,

When the app worked I actually got Spider-Man (a 2 GB app) to run on my Samsung Stellar (which has less than 2 GB available with the system ROM). Things were pretty good, until yesterday when the phone started to remove and attempted to remount the SD card (which drained my battery from 80 to 6% in a couple of short hours). Eventually the card was corrupted and I reformatted the microSD card. Everything looked fine after that and I reinstalled Spider-Man on the SD card. About a few hours ago, the card seemed to self destruct as I can only reformat 30.6 MB and FAT32 is not an option in the Allocation system menu (using Windows). Worse still I can't format anything; this card is dead.

Can anyone help?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] programatix:
Why would you want to bind DCIM folder? It causes duplicates in gallery apps, video apps and etc. Just configure your camera app to use external sd.

This is one example of misuse of the app which cause unnecessary problem.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Cybernerd:
Well I was hoping to free up some space on my ever limited internal storage. I figured DCIM takes a lot of space so following this logic I thought why not move it. I already tried just moving the .thumbnails folder but same problem occurs. Now I guess it's impossible. Thanks anyways.

Hi, I am with Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562, Android 4.0.4. ICS, Rooted. It looks like this is the only option for me to transfer apps (games in particular) to the ext SD Card on my phone. I have some problems though.

Firstly when I run the program it constantly asks for rooting permission and sometime freezes.

Secondly I tried to transfer some games - GTA III and Eternal Warriors 2 to my ext SD Card following the instructions here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889550. The diskette was green the files were copied to my ext SD card, but only copied and the original directories were left in my internal SD Card, so when I deleted the original files and started the game, it automatically downloaded them again to the internal sd card. DirectoryBind was running in background and was showing that everything is correct. It happened both on ewarriors2 and GTA III.

Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong or if this program is not compatible for my device and is there a program that will help me move my game files to the ext SD card. I read a lot of threats but couldn't find one so far that will work on my phone - neither one of those -> App 2 SD; GL to SD(root); Advanced SD Card Manager... no luck :crying:

Thank you in advance,

Cheers! :cool:

Hi,

it seems DB isn't working on my N7100 running Omega v7.2 (Android 4.1.2) :(

I tried multiple times to change the path for Gameloft's UNO from target-path

/sdcard/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.GloftUNOG/

to source-path

/storage/extSdCard/Gameloft/Uno/

but without success.

I let DB move the files also, but everytime I start UNO I've been asked to download the "missing files" again.

Any ideas what I may have done wrong?

I tried to move a couple of games and it works, but when I moved Rockstar games -> Max Payne, GTA III, when I open the games I still get the message that additional data should be downloaded to proceed.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] eMadman:
I'm using Directory Bind on my S3 (CM10) for Rdio in order to offload about 20gb of music from my phone to the SD card. (/sdcard/Android/data/com.rdio.android)

Rdio syncs data onto the phone with their own proprietary music format so it's not as simple as an mp3 player.

The directory bind works initially - uninstall the app and reinstall to create a clean folder, bind it to the SD and move all contents and begin synchronizing music. I have access to my music for as long as i don't reboot my phone or as long as rdio doesn't crash. Once I load it again, it tries using the data on internal memory or simply doesn't find the bound directory.

Directory Bind is set up with the Alternate DB function because there were other issues with rebooting with that disabled. Within Directory Bind, everything still looks okay - the mapping has the green save button next to it. Within my file browser, the /sdcard/Android/data directory for Rdio is correctly showing me all my music there as well.

Regardless, the app no longer detects the directory binding at all - no matter what route I try.

Hi, the DB was running perfectly on my S5762 Duos but after some time it started losing data or not binding properly. So I had to delete it and reinstalled it. I also deleted the DB directory from my extSD.

Cube U30GT

I had a similar problem on my Cube U30GT Tablet I found that it was installing them to my internal SD card, so changed the path to

mnt/external_sd/

So far moved 11 games, one would not move the move screen came up and then faded , one other did every thing correct moved the files and generated the Blind link, game worked ok but never got the Green disk, turned off most of the tasks and ran it again all OK.

What are the Tick on the right meant for on the other side of the disk icon.?

There is also problem with Roms, far to many to chose from the last one did not work with DB..

DirectoryBind goes through the motion of - - - - -

Hi all. further to my post yesterday, I found strange phenomena. After using DB to transfer Copilot, as usual it went through all the motion and all that, but there was no sign of Copilot on my extSD. However when used SD Maid I found the Directory there and Copilot. But when I went back again after few minutes to SD Maid, it is gone. Further more before transferring Copilot I downloaded its data, and checked it in its directory, all the files where there, and on my 2nd attempt when I tried to transfer it again, DB told me the directory is EMPTY. I have downloaded the data of Copilot couple of times, and checked it, it was there and but vanished. Strange thing is all this process is eating away the free space on my internal SD. I have checked both internal and external SD, in case DB is writing these files some where else. But no I could not find any.:crying:

What is happening. Is it some virus. I have Avest runing.

Hey guys, may be this might be a gud news for all of us ( especially for those who use lucky patcher)

I just want to make sure this is how the app was supposed to work... Every time I bind the apps they show under my internal storage. Yet if I unbind it it went show under internal. If that's how its supposed to work than the idea to save space would be for me to band it when need it?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yoelb00:
Thx great app good job
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] boodies:
The os just thinks that the internal has the files when in fact it doesn't. Just check the space of the internal before and after bind and you'll see the difference.

1. it is showing same disk size as original disk size.. so that the internal sd card is showing full of disk and can not download the large files.

2. whenever i delete the folder in internal sd card it automatically deletes the folder in external sd card also.

Is there any way to work around...?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] codington:
Once you bind a directory and move the files to your external sdcard, they are no longer on internal memory, although your device thinks they are there because of the symbolic link. Just check device memory with the tools of your choice. I prefer Storage Analyzer - it shows the symbolic links clearly.

Once you unbind, the program/game your running will want to download again.

So of the (3) different options available right now which works best or is the most user friendly?

Directory Bind

Lucky Patcher

StickMount

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Accorat:
Nope, doesn't work with 4.2+ even though Stickmount is fully fixed now. Doesn't matter if you use Directory Bind or Lucky Patcher.

Doesn't seem like we can expect a solution anytime soon, either.. The best "workaround" right would be a hybrid 4.1.2/4.2+ custom ROM without the multi user feature, I guess. Maybe someone will come up with that, at least!

I tried several times, but it still has some problems:

1)

When I bind CloudAgent, the folder does get moved, but when starting Gallery, folder 'sdcard/CloudAgent' just gets recreated again, so this one does not get any binding ore CloudAgent is working at another level.

DirectoryBind doesn't remember what it's binding.

After a restart all bindings are gone. DB just shows an empty window without any bindings.

Root is correct, the line is green.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zamana:
Android 4.2.1 Hell!

Yes, StickyMount is working, but it only mounts the external sdcard/pendrive through OTG cable.

DirectoryBind is the one who do the magic of symlinking the internal app's directory to the external one, on the sdcard/pendrive.

But it seems that under 4.2.1, the system are checking that the directory (or its content) is a symlink, and then it refuses to work.

I'm considering to downgrade to 4.1.2...
