In my opinion, Folder Mount is the better choice anyway. It's actually being maintained and works from ICS clear up to KitKat.

Excellent, as I'm an KitKat.

Question is: Can it be used the other way round: To redirect the app call for a no longer existing SD-Card to internal memory ?

They're just arbitrary folders. You can put them in any order you want.

unable to mount whole Card

"They're just arbitrary folders. You can put them in any order you want."

There's just one tiny problem: When I choose "/storage/sdcard0" as source, it says: "Quellverzeichnis ist das gesamte SD-Karte Verzeichnis! Bitte wählen Sie stattdessen Unterverzeichnisse von SD-Karte", which means more or less: "Source is the whole SD-Card. Please choose a folder from the SD-Card instead". But that would exactly what I would like to do - to remount the whole external SD-Card to internal memory...

Does this work with FIFA14?

Hi,

First of all thanks for the app. Finally a solution to this mem limitation on Android.

However for me the app is not working with FIFA14. See the attached screenshot.

I wanted to move the game's obb data to my external sd and free up some internal device memory. So the app created the binds and moved the data over. But whenever I start the game FIFA14 starts downloading the obb data again. Why doesn't it access the data from my sd card? See attached screenshot.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have a Motorola Atrix HD with CM10.1.3 official ROM. Has anyone got this to work with FIFA14 or any other ea game?

TIA!

UPDATE: I found out why the game is redownloading the data.. because with the bind on the Target folder in my internal memory is empty. This folder should show the file with bind on and then hide it when bind is off. But it is always empty. How to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LeighR:
Yeah, that's a sucky limitation of this app. Tries to get you to buy the premium version to allow you to mount OBB folder etc. I bought it and it still didn't work, so don't bother
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] King6010CH:
I might have misunderstand the function of this tool... but shouldn't this transfer the files from the Target folder to the Data folder?

Shouldn't this result in more free space on my intern storage?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] insomniacno1:
Hi, I really like your effort to make this work, and its a great idea. Unfortunately I have some trouble with it on my tablet.

I can't unbind anything, absolutely nothing happens.

Also sometimes the app freeze when trying to bind, and the directory are not bound anyway - last time it were the Mozilla Firefox folder.

Now I have several things bound, but can't unbind and the list is empty.

EDIT: I juzt noticed that Directory bind asks for superuser priv. several times durring a session, even when the app is closed and your doing something else. Why is that? SupersSUhas already granted it rights the fkrst time I used it.

Please advice on these things since I'm stuck having this app running untill, the issues are fixed - I can't uninstall since its not possible to unbind any of the directories that I already bound(list is empty).

Thank you in advance and hope of quick reply:)

With kind regards

internal storage space permanently occupied

.... I tried to use this app .. I chose the source and data and after continuing it crashed and now my 2GB internal storage seems to be unusable .. The folder I tried to copy got stuck and isn't getting deleted ... And there's nothing inside the folder anymore but that much space is occupied as miscellaneous as shown by storage in settings .. What to do ... How to recover that ... I tried every possible method formatted internalsd from twrp reinstalled ROM .. But nothing worked . I'm current only CM 11 on redmi 1S . But nothing worked .. Please help .... :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Acid0057:
Not sure how to fix that @[K] As far as I know directory bind wasn't updated for kitkat and beyond. Might work if you backup what data you can and format internal SD, system, cache, preload and data. Format to their default file systems and reinstall your Rom. You will LOSE ALL DATA doing this but it might get the internal SD working again.

If you have clockwork recovery you can connect it to your PC via USB mass storage.

You might also need to setup the partition tables again. Sounds like the file system on the phone is really borked.

And if Folder Mount won't work because of the sdcard, then neither will this - they do the exact same thing. The only difference is that Folder Mount uses the debuggerd trick/exploit.

NOTE: If there is a space in the folder name, then DirectoryBind will not work. Solution is to use quotation mark, e.g.:

/sdcard/viber/media/"Viber Videos"/

DirectoryBind doesn't give any error and it works. I have binded several folders now. Only thing is it's not permanent. Every restart, all bindings gone! My question is why?

I kind of prefer DirectoryBind, because it has smaller footprint.

Interacting application, the problem is that you did not add menu buttons and it depends on the phone's touch, it's a shame that it does not work on the blu. I will continue looking for another solution to my problem.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nephatiu:
Hey thebrazen,

Did you try holding the back button? That should normally be the menu-"button" replacement for devices that have an app-switch button instead of the menu (like Samsung OnePlus, etc...).

Actually discovered this function not so very long ago, and apparently not many people actually know about it either,... Although nobody I know knew about it and when looking for solutions, many websites tell you there isn't any,... :)

No idea if this will work on every single device that has the app-switcher instead of the menu-button, but up 'til now every one of my devices could do it. ;)

Anyway, be so kind to let me know if it works for you, that way I can verify my theory. ;)

I have an LG Stylo 2 Plus and I can't figure out how to get this software to actually write stuff to my SD card.

I tried the default settings, but that just wrote to the emulated internal SD card.

I've tried changing it to point to my real external SD card (currently /storage/4229-19F9/), but everything I do just has it saying "Data directory not exist, create now?" with an endless loop whenever I hit "Create".

I've tried reformating my card (currently fat32), but no change.

I've created subdirectories on my SD card and tried to have it go there (thinking it might be an issue with the root folder) and that failed to do anything either.

Is there some magic method I am missing?

Dear Sir;

I tried to use your application on my tablet: Lenovo Tab 3 8 Plus (model TB-8703X). OS - Marshmallow 6.0.1. MicroSD card - Samsung 64GB, class 10.

I wanna move data of some applications to SD card and get more internal memory.

I have some questions:

1. Will the function mount-on-boot work if I have no file called init.d?

2. Something wrong with terms "Source(data)" and Target. The prompt under the first claims "directory containing application data". The prompt under the second claims "directory where data should be".

The application told cannot access the data directory. See the picture 1.

I used the APK-Inspector and it shows:

Source Dir: /data/app/com.arf.weatherstation-1/base.apk

Data Dir: /data/user/0/com.arf.weatherstation

I used the last as Source(Data) path. The Root activated but app don't see the dir.

I looked through root_dir and found I may use the path /sdcard/data/com.arf.weatherstation

See the picture 2.

I got the message: Data directory is not empty!? If it is empty how it will contain application data!?

Yours,

torres1948.

Source is where the files are going to be, aka ur external/removable card.

Target is where the files are originally should be.

Your external card is emmc, so you are most probably using a AOSP/CM9 based rom. Looks like you got the source and target reversed.

It might be better if you tap add new entry and then tap menu button. yuo will see Data Transfer assistant pop up. I discovered this feature randomly when i was creating my 2nd Binded link. Apparently, this assistant will help you to create a folder in external_sd automatically. Try this and report back if you got problems.

In regards to deleting the files, no offense but I'm amazed how often this gets asked... the files are not still on your internal SD, the phone is just fooled into thinking they are there, which is why it works. If you delete the files from your internal SD, you are actually deleting them from where you moved them to, so you no longer have the files.

For the sake of instructions, lets assume that i have a directory in /sdcard/ActualAppFiles that i would like to Bind.

Fire up Directory Bind, press menu and press Add New Entry

Press Menu and press Data transfer assistant

Scroll and locate ActualAppFiles and tap once to enter directory

Tap Select

Notice that under Enter source (data) path, a destination directory has been specified.

Check Transfer files from target to data and tap Add

Tap Create

Notice the disk icon of the link is now grey.

Tap menu, tap Preferences and check Alternate dbase mgmt and Persistent service.

Tap menu again and tap Bind checked

Now the link you want to Bind has a green disk icon. Okay, good to go.

Awesome guide mate this should be added to the first post but which version of the apk are u using as the latest one doesnt have an option of persistant service and even if i select bind at boot am losing the binds after a reboot oplease help cheers

Edit : The persistant service option is only available in the first version of the apk

Edit Again: Even after checking persistanat service I am losing the bindings after a reboot hence I have found a workaround make all the bindings as mentioned in the above guide and once all is transferred and working fine go ahead and press menu and select backup after reboot everytime u reboot first go to directory bind and restore config thats it and it works awesome

Now only if someone can fix this small issue this app would be a miracle for gamers
