Hmm when I have that box checked, it copied the files and then it said something to the effect of deleting after that. I see where it does look like it only did a copy/paste rather than cut/paste. The folder and files still show up on the internal sd but I never messed with them because settings showed that there was more room in my internal and less on the external so it worked. NFS as an example again, it's still on the internal sd and details shows that it's still 1.9GB but as you can see I have 17GB of apps installed with 8 left.

That's how directory bind works.

While the entries are mounted they will appear to be on the internal sd but they are not. That's how it works.

Disable the entries and they will disappear from the internal sd. You will be left with a empty folder.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] meganox:
Works for me on 4.2.1 - CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly 2012-12-31 on Galaxy SII

The paths must be set to /extSdCard for data (not /storage/sdcard1) and /sdcard for target (not /storage/sdcard0). I guess this is because /storage itself only contains bind mounts and the app needs the original mount point.

Entries seem to survive app close and reboot without Alt DB Mgmt enabled but I haven't tested with entries made with Alt DB Mgmt disabled.

The CSV DB backup works just fine, have not tried a restore.

The app I tested with is Rdio.

Those are the paths I give directorybind on my TF101 aswell, although the binds turn green they do not work as the app, either redownloads the data again, or simply closes..

Not working on LG Optimus L9 P760

Hi,

General Info: LG Optimus L9 P760, rooted, firmware V10e, Android 4.0.4, no ROMs

because App2SD and Link2SD don't work on my P760 afaik, I tried DirectoryBind.

Works fine, but the entrys are deleted after restarting.

Alternate dbase management does not help :(

Notice: On the P760, the external SD-Card is mounted inside the internal SD-Card.

Path to internal:

mnt/sdcard

Path to external:

mnt/sdcard/external_sd

Hope there will be a fix in a future revision as i really like that app.

First time user of Directory Bind.

Everything is working as intended. However re opening Directory bind shows no binds. Am i doing something silly or how do i bring up old setup binds?

Testing now.

i've been using this for a few months now and i love it. i love that i have GTAIII installed and moved to the SD card WHERE IT SHOULD BE! i am right now moving all the files for NFS:MW.

i have a motorola photon q that was unlocked and rooted. i had entries dissapearing until i did the alternate database. what is the "normal" way the database is maintained?

finally, one big issue i've had: if the "source" directory (the one with all the big files in it) has a space in its name, i can't get it to mount to a file on my SD card. any way to fix this?

Hi. I am trying to make this work on my phone but I think I'm the only one who cant get it right.

When I use these paths:

Data = /sdcard/external_sd and

Target = /sdcard/

Its just copying the folder to the Data but it is still in the Phone Storage because /sdcard is in the phone storage. So when I check the free space on the phone and ext, its doesn't change. I can run the game but it didnt really move the folder to the extSD.

So I tried to use /storage/extsdcard (as this is the path of my extSD) and used the same target as above. It transferred the files from phone to extSD as shown in the free spaces between the two but I cant bind it. The bind icon is red instead of green.

Its really confusing me because when I look at the folders using file manager from phone or even explorer in PC, both phone and SD are located inside the storage folder. Its like:

/storage/sdcard0 - for the phone storage and

/storage/extSdCard - for my external SD card

What do you think I'm doing wrong? Thanks for the help in advance.

I think this has to do with the new mountpoints in Android 4.2 I remember many an app that touches storage having to be updated.

I know stickmount for Nexus 7 had to be updated because of it. If we knew what changes were made to that maybe it might help us understand whats wrong with directory bind.

Does not work with Pipo Smart S1, its caused my tablet to have major problems and it looks like I'm prolly going to have to re-flash rom. Avoid for S1.

Also just a point of suggestion to the developer :

On the setup of directories part, you have Source & Target, at the moment they appear to be worded backwards, I would suggest that the Source should be the Original data directory ie SD

The Target should be where you want it to go ie the ExtSD

Its on tmo note2. I actually did that too and I tried it again but it's not binding as shown in the image attached.

It cant be a misspelling as I didnt type the path but browsed it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sky1193:
Looks like you used that data transfer assistant. I didn't use it, seemed too confusing to me. The source and data files need to be the same just different beginning directories. So make an Android folder on the external sd card then a data folder in that just like it is on the internal. The below pic is an example of my working bind for mass effect. The external needs to basically have /Android/data/(folder for what's being binded here) so it looks like it does in internal. This video helped me understand it better. It's done on Note I but same concept just different locations for things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8PyqCOpERA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Angry Black Man:
the gentleman who said he mounted the Android folder and posted the picture effectively did this. look at his screenshot for the way he did it.

my guess is that the directory is no longer binded. check the entry. is it there at all? if not, use the "alternate database" method.

jinda, rory is correct. this application cannot handle paths with spaces in the name.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jinda628:
Thanks bro but actually different folder names worked. My problem was the space on the folder name. Thanks to Rory:)

Thanks bro, you saved me Hehe! Thanks to the OP for this apps too.

My first bind had the same end folder name and the 2nd one has different paths and both worked when I removed the space between "binded apps".

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] raduque:
I apologize for pointing this out, and I know people are going to call me names for it, but using the term "binded apps" is making my brain hurt. It should be "bound apps".

That way if something downloads internally to downloads it actually goes to the sdcard or if something downloads to the sd card downloads it is actually is still in the same spot.

Hi

I instal latest directry Bind in to note 2 LTE (N7105) but in preferences tab there is no PERSISTENT SERVICE option.need help please.:(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] amirfoox:
Thanks, but not only doesn't it work (it doesn't move any data), it is also just the standard Android directory, not the actual /data/app folder, which is not available in Directory Bind for some reason. Which is really weird, since this app demands root access.

If Root Explorer can 'see' this read-only directory, why not Directory Bind?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] programatix:
It requires root access to execute mount and umount. It is not practical to moves /data/app to other location and bind it because the OS would be accessing this path way before binding happen. So what do you think would occur if this happens?

Does anyone has problems to bind Asphalt 6 and Real Racing 2?

So it indicates as bounded, but it's not actually.:eek:
