You would need to stop the bind. I believe just clicking the green disc icon will do that. Once you do that you will see an empty folder in the original folder location. Delete that. Then move the new folder to the original folder location.

Initial Entry Saving

Great tool that's very easy to use! Before this, I was making my own script files with the mount -o bind command and then using SManager to run them at boot time. This utility makes everything so much quicker and easier. Thank you!!! :cool:

The only small bug I found was on initial use. DirectoryBind wouldn't save my entries. I would reboot, get back into DirectoryBind, and there would be a blank screen with no entries. I found however if I selected the option to back up the database and then restore the database, then all entries showed up from that point forward.

Thanks again for a great utility!!

Similar problem, this helped for me too.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mosheg91:
Awsome thanks !! very useful !!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bsoplinger:
Same here for me almost exactly. Much nicer than mount --bind commands and Script Manager indeed. Had the same issue with the settings not sticking initially also. You may want to try the alternate database setting if you find that they occasionally get forgotten again.

Are you setting the target & source addresses correctly?

There is an anomaly, IMHO, in the addressing rules:

The source address should have 'mnt/' added, so it looks like this:

S:mnt/sdcard2/Navigon/, for example, if using the Navigon GPS app.

The target address should look like this, without the 'mnt/':

T:/sdcard/Navigon/

I think this is not clear in the first post of this thread.

Also, the Source & Target names should be around the other way, to my mind, but anyway it works just fine as I have described. Its a matter of semantics.

Problem

Question:

how to uninstall the program? and scripts which she does ...

The situation is installed, but if you move to the sd-card is not working correctly. Was adopted by the attempt to unmount the image, then removed the program "Directory Bind", removed the program is not working correctly on the sd-card, but when re-installing on the internal memory of the program is installed again on the sd-card. Scripts should not go along with the program "Directory Bind" how to remove the script?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] micoxda:
I believe the binding is done correctly, i.e the files are transfered from the sdcard folder to the external sd. And yes i'm using "mnt" in the source address. It's just that when i press the diskette icon it turns red instead of green

I would like to report my findings on my first attempt.

I have a navigation program (Navionics) that currently has 88000 (88 thousand) small files totaling some 500MB.

DirectoryBind has linked them all to /mnt/external_sd/ and the program runs without issues and survives a hard reset.

This has saved 500MB from /sdcard - thank you.

Your app is a real life saver for me and works perfectly.

Now on to the next program. :fingers-crossed:

Am finding it really hard to get this great app working....could someone plz explain in detaila how to make.....shadowgun for example....on the s3 ?

Everytime i have to download the data coz it gets deleted !!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pushwall:
I've got ShadowGun working on my Droid Bionic. The directory structures on the S3 probably aren't exactly the same as the Droid Bionic, but maybe this will help you out.

First, I started Directory Bind and tapped on the menu option to Add new entry which then showed the directory path selection screen. In the white area below "Enter source (data) path", I held my finger on the screen to use the directory browser. Up at the top of the screen it showed the path for my external SD card: /sdcard-ext

I then scrolled down and tapped on a directory I had created earlier called 1data which is the location where I wanted all the data copied from internal memory stored. The path at the top of the screen now showed:

/sdcard-ext/1data

I then tapped on the New button to create a new subdirectory to hold my ShadowGun files and called it shadowgun. The path at the top of the screen now showed this for the path:

/sdcard-ext/1data/shadowgun

I then tapped on the Select button at the bottom of the screen. This returned me to the Directory Bind directory path selection screen. I next held my finger on the white box below "Enter mount (target) path" to get into the directory browser again. This time I tapped my finger on the directories until I had the full path name for the internal ShadowGun data files:

/sdcard/Android/data/com.madfingergames.shadowgun

I then tapped on the Select button returning me to the Directory Bind directory selection path screen. I then selected the box next to "Transfer files from target to data", and then tapped on Add. Directory Bind then showed it was copying the files and then deleting them from internal memory. It then returned to the main Directory Bind screen, and I tapped the grey icon to the left of the new entry just created. The icon turned green and I was done.

Hope this helps and you get it going!

Someone please help, this is urgent.

Im using S3, im putting the folder that i want to be transferd to the SD Card, and than i put the folder that the source should go into, and than when I click on "Transfer files" it say "Data directory is not empty" or somthing like that.

Can someone please make a video guide for this?

EDIT: never mind, got it to work, I was trying to transfer the app and not the app data, now its working.

Fix?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lowsum:
Same Here. When this get fixed, Im heading to purchase a 32g high-speed micro-sd...awesome for tablet user!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pushwall:
A workaround (after your binding entries are created and show on the screen) is to get into the Menu, tap on More, and select Backup Database. After it is backed up, go back into the Menu, tap on More, and select Restore Database. Now your binding entries should stick and not get deleted. This problem happened to me too the first time I tried to create my binding entries.

I have an odd one. I've been using it on my tablets with great success. Now I wanted to use it on my phone to move app data from internal memory, /data, to the SDHC card, /sdcard, and it doesn't work. The browser shows no folders in /data making it impossible to gather the specific app data.

Has anyone successfully used it for this purpose?

Can anyone explain why i keep getting mount fail for games such as gta3 and nova 3 ? BTW im using s3 , Ninphetamine kernal , checkrom v2 .
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] r3ddawn:
So I tried this on my Galaxy S3, was able to bind the data folder for ShadowGun, rebooted, checked, was working, then played the game to verify. All good, but then I opened up my file manager, and verified the data had been moved from the internal memory over to my external SD card, and notice the following:

1. The origninal size of the data folder for Shadowgun was over 800Mb to begin with, after doing the bind, it went to 540Mb in size

2. The data is the same size on the external SD card, and the data is still in the internal card as well, I thought it would delete all files from the internal memory, or no?

3. So basically, it shed 300+Mb of internal memory, where it went I don't know, but I basically have a mirror of data on internal/external card, is that how this program works? Can I delete the data from the internal memory or ??

thanks..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pushwall:
Don't know about why there's a difference between original size and new size. FWIW my ShadowGun data folder on my Droid Bionic shows 477MB as the size. As long as the game works, I think you'll be fine. You can always delete and redownload the data if you want to make sure.

When you have the binding entry turned on, it appears as if the data is in both the external and internal data folder,..but the data is only in the external folder. Tap the icon to the left of the binding entry for ShadowGun so that it unbinds the entry (turns the icon from green to grey). Then hopefully your file manager will now show there is no data appearing in the internal data folder. Turn the binding back on and the the internal data folder will appear populated again. The bind command used by DirectoryBind acts as a system pointer so that the internal data folder appears to have the data that is actually in your external data folder. Make sense?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] r3ddawn:
Thanks for the reply... You made perfect sense.. So I think I figured out what was wrong. I did as you stated, but the data was still in my internal memory.. So I looked into the preferences and noticed an entry with Alternate DB mngt or something like that. Took the check off, deleted the data/game, and re-downloaded everything, did the bind, ran the game. Got out of the game, un-bind as you suggested, and that worked, as the internal memory folder showed no data, while the SDcard still had it... Now it's working like a charm... Thanks for the help and the developer of the app!!

i had question. the folder is mounted , cause i see it on my files .

but in directory bind application. suddenly its just disappear are,u sure,its no a bug
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
Hi :) Thanks for posting !

Maybe there is a bug, please post some more details. I uderstand that disappear = turns green->gray or entry disappeared completly from the list ? What are data and target paths ? If it's possible please post steps to reproduce. Also You could enable logging and post content of log file after problem occurence. If there is a bug I'll surely track it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cloud596:
yep the entry it just disappear completely from aplications, i enable debug log but i thought there wasn't any suspicious yet.

edit : today after i rebooted my sgs2 , auto bind failed because there is no path entry , so i create new entry again, o u know why.

but this application still great, now i dont need to worry by installing massive game
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
Two more things

1. Are You using some kind of task killer ?

2. Application saves database on exit from main activity (on back button press), are You exiting application with back button ?

It look like application is killed multiple times and does not have a chance to save database. If You are using task killer please tell me which one and if possible exclude this application.

Regards

Slig
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cloud596:
1. no I'm using zdbox and

set this application as exclude from auto kill

by memory management.

2. sometimes i use back button, do you think it will close application.

thanx anyway
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
I've uploaded small update.

All logs go to logcat now (if logging enabled), log file select option removed.

Added EXPERIMENTAL option "alternate dbase mgmt" - database is saved as soon as there are any changes (normally on main window exit). No need to enable this option if there are no issues with disappering entries.

@cloud596 - please check it that option helps

If anyone has similar issues with database saving as cloud596 please report with logcat attached (tag: DirectoryBind).

Hi all !

New version published. Added functionality to move existing data to external_sd.

Problems, bug reports and feature requests are welcome.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elmo180:
Hi,

great idea for app. Auto moving files to external_sd doesn't work in my case. No matter that i create new directory by your app or by Files Explorer it says that directory is not empty :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
Hi ! :)

Thans for info. I assume it says "Data directory not empty" ?

To clear things out I'll explain here how this feature works:

For example:

1. You have /sdcard/gameloft folder that contains game data folders

2. In application You choose "New Entry"

3. In Data field type /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft or start directory browser, create and select this directory (/sdcard/external_sd/gameloft)

4. In Target field type /sdcard/gameloft or start directory browser and select /sdcard/gameloft

5. Check Transfer data checkbox and click ADD ENTRY

all content from /sdcard/gameloft/ will be transferred to newly created /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft/ after that new entry in application will be created (transfer will be from target to data)

after that operation data directory will contain files and target will be empty

"Data" is mount data folder and "Target" is mount target folder.

So before operation "Target" should contain program files and Data should be empty.

Please check if You are correct with this steps and report. If it still fail we'll have to figure out what is wrong.

Regards !

By the way, have some queries on "mounting" after the mobile reboot.

Enable or tick the Alternate dbase mgmt
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
Yes, try to enable "Alternate dbase mgmt" in Preferences and report back. It would be great if You could post logcat dump on "DirectoryBind" tag. This is very strange issue I don't fully understand. It does not happen in my case so I need more info on this.

It would be wonderful If You could make log dump with and without "alternate dbase mgmt" ticked. You have to enable logging in program prefs. Logs from opening app, adding new entry (no need to transfer files) and closing main app window are enough. I really need those logs to pinpoint the problem. Look at first post about dumping logcat.

EDIT:

Added option to dump logcat to file - You can use it to easily dump logs and post them here when reporting a bug.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mobilio:
Thanks for the fast response.

Have updated to 2.0c and using the "alternate dbase mgmt", it's now ok :)

Hi to all

I have a Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with a stock Samsung ICS ROM (4.0.3 - baseband N7000XXLPT) and Speedmod kernel (3.0.15 - k3-6).

A simple question to which I can't find the answer in this thread. Apologies if I've missed something.

I want to move apps & games (which don't have additional data downloads or data directories) to the external sdcard. Is this possible using this app? If so, can someone please enlighten me? :o

Also, can someone please explain why app details appear to be in 2 places on my phone:-

/mnt/asec (where there is a directory for each app which contains the apk and a 'lib' sub-directory), and

/mnt/secure/asec (which contains a .asec file for each of the above apps).

Many thanks to anyone else who can help.
