Turn on root access... And make backup after modifying the database...

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Use directory bind to find that directory, if it is present in directory bind, you can bind it... But i'm not sure if that would work 'cause most hidden files are use by the system... Why do you want to bind a hidden file anyway?

Hi, Thanks for this App i had freed about 5 GB + in my internal memory from Gameloft Games, shadowgun, dead space. I am using a Galaxy Note 10.1 which is still in 4.1.2.

I just have a question, I am not sure if this was already asked, I have a 32 GB sd card in which i have existing mounted folders already, now I am planning to buy a 64 GB card, how can I transfer those binded folders. Would it be just as easy as backup the 32 gb on a PC then copy it to my new 64 GB then put it in my tablet?

Or do I need to unbind first delete the entries (bring back to internal), remove the 32 and put in the 64 and create links again?

Thank you,

Yup its as easy as that. Ive recently done the same on my Note 2 and its that simple and works straight away.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] teddy0209:
Try this, I don't know if it would work.. Make a new directory on EXTSD then place the pictures folder in it and place a .nomedia file...

Then bind the pictures folder inside the new folder you created to your pictures folder on SD...

Suddenly can't run my games already binded

Hi, I'm using my old Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) as media/mobile game device.

It's running stock 4.1.2 ROM and sock kernel, rooted, directory bind 2.0o, and I've some issues.

As a task killer I use easy task killer and Clean Master to delete cache. But it wasn't a problem, the games used to work fine. Just bind 5 games.

When I bind some games, I'd never could see a list of the binded games, but it worked great (as you can see in the screen attached)

A few minutes ago I try to play a game already binded and start to asking me to download the data again. I reboot my device and try to open the previously binded games and the problem is the same.

What kind of problem could it be? How can I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Even I tried to move Whatspp data which is in internal memory but its unable to detect the path. I know the path but if I am searching through Directory Bind it's showing NO files so I ma unable to bind that directory.

How is it possible??

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] psolord:
Just a head's up for anyone interested in directory binding.

I recently upgraded my LG 4X to android 4.1.2 from its stock 4.0.3.

Directory bind was working fine with 4.0.3, but it does not work with 4.1.2. From what I gather, the reason is that the structure of the storage places in 4.1.2 has changed. Previously the sdcard was located at /mnt/sdcard while it now is at /mnt/storage/sdcard/. The same for the externalSD.

So now when I try to select my directories, directory bind says that the directories I have selected are not valid.

So I started searching other solutions.

The first one is Folder mount, as has been mentioned in this thread numerous times. Although I bought the pro version, still it cannot work as I want, because I have moved the whole /Android folder to the external SD, including its /data and /obb folders. Now the silly thing does not allow me to mount the whole base /Android folder and wants me to mount each directory separately, something that is not possible because we are talking hundreds of directories. I sent the author a message regarding this, hoping he can add this as a new feature or something.

The good thing, and this is where the head's up portion of this post comes into play, is that I have found a file manager called lidroid, which has a plugin called super mount, which works for me as directory bind did. The only difference here is that I have to put the externalSD as source since this is where the whole /Android folder is. But it works nevertheless. Market seems to be able to update apps just fine and games seem to be able to read their data off the externalSD just fine.

So there.

If you have any suggestions on the matter, please do share.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] egingell:
Lidroid does exactly the same thing as FolderMount except it doesn't move files for you.

Question regarding FM: Did you uncheck "Destination folder checks" in FM's settings?

Sent from my SGS4.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] psolord:
Actually I did not, but since Lidroid required me to go back and rebind directories after each boot (and I couldn't find a way to buy the paid version which autobinds), I went back to directory bind and checked the "bypass path verification" option and it worked!

So I'm back to directory bind again! :)

Hi there,

just one question, maybe it has been asked before but XDA search is extremely slow and I doubt it could find answer :) just curious, if I use DB to bind obb game files from android/obb to internal storage... is it better to bind each folder INDIVIDUALY or just bind whole OBB folder? I ask since I now have like 20-30 binds, so I was wondering if binding just 1 folder would make it faster etc...

thanx

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] psolord:
I don't know if it's faster, but I have the whole /Android folder (/data and /obb included) binded and things seem to work fine for a long time now. Saved me heaps of trouble as far storage space is concerned.

If your phone uses emulated storage, this app won't work. Try Folder Mount instead.

This looks like an app that might sort a problem out for me. Basically, I want me Samsung S3 Mini to save photos on the external SD card. I can have a tinker around to find out which directory to bind but can I check:

1. Which is the latest version? Is it the last one listed?

2. How do you install it? I copied it to my SD card and rebooted into CWM and used the install ZIP file but all I got was an 'aborted' install

Redundant data in Data As well as Target Directory...

Hello Guys!!

I'm really stuck, to get it done. But I'm unable to do it. I tried with the above mentioned process, the result is the Data Directory as well as the Target Directory both contains same data, none of the file is actually transferred to the Target Directory although it is copied into the Target. Eating up the space from /sdcard/data_directory as well as /external_sd/target_directory.

As the both the directories are bonded, I tried to literally delete the contains of the Data Directory, but it got reflected in the Target one too. So, I can't able to link the folder as the program is intended to be..

Any help??:(:(:(:(

data directory : /sdcard/data_directory/

target directory : /sdcard/ext_storage/target_directory/

I tried with this method it's perfectly working.... but this ext_storage is just a Directory in my case my actual external storage is /external_sd... here's the pain:(:(....

But in my case both have different mounting method/location..

data directory : /sdcard/data_directory/

target directory : /external_sd/target_directory/

this is the reason, of whole s**t... :( :(:(

anyways, any suggestions??? :good:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] egingell:
Linux doesn't care if a directory is not empty or already bound to something, it's going to bind it anyway and create another mount point that's visible via the mount and df commands, so if you're using both apps to bind the same folder pair, you're going to get multiple identical mount points.

* From a UI perspective, target directories' contents become inaccessible and are replaced with the source directories' contents.

Why are you using both apps? You only need one.

This won't work on a Galaxy S4... period. I think it was determined to be because of the way the OS handles mounting with emulated storage.

Additionally, if you're going to use anything, you need to use the right path to the internal SD card - /storage/emulated/0 - /sdcard is merely a convenience symlink.
