I have a pretty general question if someone is willing to answer:

Anyway, I have a nexus 7 that I put in tablet mode. Directory bind works great except ever since I put it in tablet mode the button to go into the app settings or to create a new link doesn't exist (the button used to be at the bottom of the screen but now my status bar resides there... ).

Anyone know of a work around?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] danarama:
yep, this certainly shows its working:

cache -> /mnt/extSdCard/GoogleMusicCache/cache

That is odd as it shouldnt be possible. Root explorer even tells me its not possible.

I assume if you brows to teh extsdcard location, the cache is there?

Anyway, sorry everyone for OT
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tomcat84:
Yes its all there.

Play Music even shows the correct amount of space on the external sd-card, its a 32 gig card:

I have problem with Directory Bind.

I moved some games from Gameloft and Glu to externalSD card, completely with additional data, everything worked fine, but maybe after restart (?) all games want to download additional data again and I dont know why.

Where I can made mistake?

Would be very appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

"Data directory is NOT empty !"

what am I doing wrong?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Tenou:
Paverico, on your external sd card you MUST create a folder with the same name as the original folder of the game. Then in the first box you select the folder on your external SD and in the second box you select the original folder. Then i will copy the data and work 100%.

Like in my atachment.

I have now used DirectoryBind to transfer some game data to the external sd card. It basically works very well, but sometimes while playing, right in the middle of the game, a root notification pop up appears saying that DirectoryBind was granted root privileges.

Is this intended? It's not a big deal, but the game often stutters and lags for 1-2 seconds when this happens. That can be quite annoying... What is DirectoryBind doing in the background?

Using SuperSU you can choose to disable selected toast notifications.

So just install SuperSU and disable toast notifications for this app.

Hey guys. after i bind the application. But the data is still in /SDcard . should i delete it? It has successfully bind it to /mnt/extSDcard but the files in SDcard is still there. can i delete it? :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pushwall:
Do this first,....Tap to the left of the entry to unbind it, and then check and see if the data is still in /SDcard.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mr_tris:
The files you see in the original folder are ghost images of the copied files and hold no memory weight. Just leave them there as they are required by the app to complete the process of fooling Android into thinking that everything is still as where it should be.

Thanks for this I am going to attempt to bind /mnt/sdcard/Adroid/data to /removable/microsd/data on my TF101. Not sure If it will work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DaveBG:
I have the same problem. It says data not empty. Sure it is not, i have selected transfer files and it does not work? Can i disable check for empty and just transfer all files?

Edit:

I have disabled path checks and also am sure both dirs have the same name. I also selected them from folder manager to be sure there is no typo. Still does not work...

Edit2:

I moved manually all the files and sub folders and it worked but then i LOST ALL DATA! When i opened the app it just recreated all files as of new install and then they were transferred to the external card and replaced the old ones with all the data!

Edit3:

I have now forced the app with large data to download all the data from the net (about 240MB). My internal card is full. External is populated too though. Strange thing is that when i opened the DirectoryBind app the link is missing yet the data is in sync...

Edit4:

I wanted to recreate the missing link. It again stated that Data dir is not empty... I deleted everything from the External card in order to move the data from the internal again manually and create the link as this workaround worked before but when i went to the place on internal SD the data is missing there too... At least my internal SD has 240MB free again :) I think i will quit testing for now.

But the guy might be Rooted with 'Stick mount' running and an OTG cable connected in line with a massive Flash Drive.

I would test it out myself if I didn't need to unlock my Bootloader and then reinstall everything after.

Amazon MP3 duplicates

Hi

This is indeed a incredible app.

I've yet to use it to BIND files and folders for large game installs.

I sought to use it to place my Amazon MP3 files on my External SD.

Unfortunately the Amazon MP3 app cache is on the Internal SD and you cannot define otherwise.

The BIND app successfully migrated the Amazon MP3 folder to the external SD but now I find every album I have in the cache has duplicate tracks.

I guess the Amazon MP3 app just sees audio files and puts them in its library.

So it sees them both here:

/sdcard/amazonmp3/

and here:

/mnt/extSdCard/amazonmp3/

Shame :(

Thanks muchly

Hi, this seems to be the right solution for Navfree not being able to store maps on external_sd. I modified the xml-file to let Navfree store the stuff elsewhere, made it readonly, but still it was overwritten with the default.

Apps2sd, link2sd didn't solve it, but Directory Bind did it. Moved all files from /sdcard/data/com.navfree.android.OSM.ALL/files to /sdcard/external_sd/navfree/files and I finally was able to download and install the German map (of 800MB, where it used to say I needed 2100MB free space).

After you hit 'add new entry' there is an 'assistant' in the menu options.

Use that and you don't have to type ANYTHING. It works beautifully and you don't have to worry about

any mixed case mixups or typos or anything.

This program is awesome and a must have. Time to donate!

Hello, I have a problem.

I moved before everything to external SD correctly, but now when I want to install new game, at first its installing to internal memory it writes me that I have not enough free space, but my internal memory is over 9GB free.

I previously moved approximate those 9GB to external SD, but my phone is thinking that the internal memory is full despite showing the free space.

I think its caused with Directory Bind...?

Any ideas about that issue? Would be very appreciated.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ChodTheWacko:
Directory bind works via a mount.

What a mount does is it takes a directory on one disk, and covers it with a pointer pointing somewhere else. (i.e. you external memory).

What I assume your problem is, is that you still have the files in the original internal memory directory, hogging disk space.

If so, the correct solution is to use directory bind to unset/remove the mount. Then I'd suggest pulling out your SD card ( to be safe!)

then delete all the files that you moved (removing the SD card keeps you from accidentally removing them from your sd card).

Then turn on the redirects again and you should be good to go.

- Frank

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

This is actually a legit question.

Like what happens if you plug in your usb cable to copy files onto your card?

I think that does a dismount of the card? (which is effectively the same problem).

Also, if you have a high speed card, it is probably faster to pull the card out, stick it in a high speed USB card reader if you want to copy movies or other large files onto it.

I can't try it yet. (I can't access my sdcard without removing the battery). - I can tuesday though.

Hi

Cant get it working in my note 2.

Source (data) path /storage/extSdCard/DirectoryBinding/kk1 -> microSD 32 GB (ext3)

target /storage/sdcard0/kk1 -> interal Disk

Transfer files selected.

Then it copies correctly the files but at the end it says "Enter valid target directory". The directories names are set using the "data transfer assistant". In fact the program transfer the data between the directories. What is wrong here?

Thanks for reply.

I tried to unbind and delete all folders that I moved to external SD with directory bind, despite that the folders have 0kB.

I deleted all folders in internal memory but nothing changed.

Phone still showing over 9GB of internal memory free, but I cant install 8MB game.

Interesting is, that two programs, together over 5MB of size I can install correctly.

I tried to install the game with SD card pulled out, but I still cant install the game.

I think maybe its caused by some virus...?

Any ideas?

Im just hopeless :crying:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ChodTheWacko:
If it shows that much free, then it's a different problem.

You can check to see if the directory is correctly unbound by running a program called 'DiskUsage'.

If stuff is bound it'll show up as its own drive.

I would suggest getting rid of the boundness and totally delete the directory. If it's sitting there "empty" then

that could mean a variety of things. Best to have a clean slate.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] edd080:
Just a quick question if I may? I know this might have been mentioned in past threads, however I can't seem to get the hang of it,

I have an update for the Six Guns game from play store, I managed to transfer the game successfully before this update.

Before I install the update do I have to transfer the data back to its original location (that is from the external micro sd card to Sd Card) or do I just have to make sure that the binding is active and update the game? What is the proper way to avoid any corruption?

Thanks for the help...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] psolord:
Dunno if this helps, but I tried directory bind on my Cube U30GT tablet (JB), and I moved the whole Android\data and Android\obb folders to the external SD.

In my astonishment I found out that my apps working and I was happy as a clam, since I now had 8GBs more space on my internal SD.

The troubles begun when I tried to do some market updates/installation. They were stuck at downloading. So I thought maybe it had something to do with directory bind. I disabled the bind, it gave me an error of not being able to unbind everything and in my surprise I saw that the whole bind directory had disappeared. No file manager was showing it. The data was still there though, since the directory showed up perfectly fine when the sd card was mounted on windows.

I am guessing I did something wrong. The app will be really golden, if I learn how to use it. Kudos to the author.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AinsCrowbar:
Hey Guys. Just wondering if there was a way to get this app working with exFAT SD cards. As I've read in this thread, they're not compatible with this app. However my S3 is running low on internal space, so I need an app like this one. Obviously fat32 and this app is the fix, but I sometimes use my phone's MHL feature to play large movie files (4gb+) on my TV. Any ways around this problem?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] edd080:
Well not exactly my problem, however in your situation if you are noticing that binds are disappearing you must tick the alternate dbase mgmt option in the preferences menu and see how it solves your problem.

What i actually would like to know is what one must do when there is a game update from play store since the data is not residing in the internal sd anymore.

I hope someone can shed some light....

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blueeagle69:
In my experience you have to move the data files back for the game you are updating. Once updated, then do the bind again.

A right pain.

Anyone know any different?

:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ChodTheWacko:
I really don't think it will matter.

The updater will just go to /sdcard/what/ever/it/wants/to

and update the files that are in there.

It shouldn't t really notice or care that it was silently rerouted to /external/card/blah/de/blah.

It will be a problem if it decides to delete and recreate that directory though. The mount will cause intereference.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blueeagle69:
Most modern games support the new Google Expansion File System.

These games normally have their data files directory in sdcard/Android/obb/

If this is the case then you must create a obb folder on your external card.

Mine is mnt/ExtSdCard/Game-Data/obb/gamedatafolder/

Does this app permanently change file permissions ownership? My internal card is sdcard_rw and external is media_rw... I seem to remember it being the other way round.

Incidently after boot the default storage for browser reverts to memory card after changing to internal seems related to directory bind as if you select device and reboot and open browser before directory bind kicks in it shows device but quickly reverts to memory card.

I'm trying to work out if its a XXLIB bug or side effect from this app.

It works great by the way!!
