Is it possible to directory bind android app folders with . (Dots) between the words in the name? for example creator.appname.core as whenever this is attempted it fails due to the dots.

Is this doable or is it a lost cause?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kt-Froggy:
Even though I am not using this app now, it used to work perfectly fine for me with dots in folder names. Two examples are NavFree (Android/data/com.navfree.android.OSM.ALL/) and DropBox (Android/data/com.dropbox.android/).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] traumatism:
Hmmm. Every time I tried this it didn't work. it wouldnt find the folder. Will give it another attempt later just to be safe.

I already watch the vid and follow what the vid said but I the entries is empty again after I successfully transfer the files to ext card and re-open the directory bind.

right now im going to format my phone,Wipe data, Wipe Cache, wipe dalvik cache and test it again if the prob is still the same don't know what to do...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pedrocarlosdos:
you are wrong yes you can use a 64 card or 32 just watch my video on youtube I'm using a 64gb card on my video the problem is that you don't know how to use watch my video is 45 minutes long for the purpose newbies understanding all the app has a built in assistent that does all the binding for you but first you have to go to the settings and tell the app where you want the targeted data to go also you have to list your external 64gb card path just watch my video on youtube i explain all very well

I think you are not using the right directory bind you have to use DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk here is the direct link download: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=862197&d=1326918270

just click on the link and it will automatically download the DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk and install, because the others ones are not working I had the same problem as you every time I did the entries, then it's empty again after I successfully transfer the files to ext card and re-open the directory bind.

I solve it by just going through all of them which did not work then I downloaded DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk and gone to "preferences"/ and tick all the boxes except Enable logcat output and Bypass path verification... make sure those two are not selected please.

you have to do all the above first to get this to work you have to have the same apk as me (the above link) also you have to go to preferences and tick the boxes before end

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

you have you must go to preferences and you must tick ALTERNATE DBASE MGMT and also tick PERSISTENT SERVICE and of course also tick

BIND ON BOOT / HANDLE USB CONNECTION / ALERT ON UNBIND FAIL and also I forgot!!?? lol YOU must give DIRECTORY BIND a permanent super user permission you must do that as well

Entries disappearing - alt dbase mgmt fixes it

Phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII (SGS-T989 "Hercules")

Running 4.04 ICS, custom ROM "Jedi Knight v6", using SuperSu for root mgmt

Using task monitor Watchdog https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zomut.watchdog (not really a task killer) plus Auto Memeor Manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lim.android.automemman (also not a task killer; used to tweak Android "out of memory" system settings - currently set for very little change from ICS stock)

DirectoryBind version 'o'

I had the "entries disappearing" issue, found your suggestion to enable alternate dbase mgmt; did that, rebooted phone, entries still there (yay!).

I don't know if it makes sense to enable this by default (the SII is pretty obsolete these days), but I would suggest you add a comment about enabling it for this issue in the top post of this thread.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mickeyzkun:
my feedback didn't post. problem already solve by doing reformat my phone,Wipe data, Wipe Cache, wipe dalvik cache then install the latest DB because if I wont do that it wont totally delete the backup datebase that cause the bug.

sorry to say this but im not a newbie that doesn't know anything... of course I know what to download... if your going to download the old one then what's the use of uploading the latest one... and one more thing, after I rooted my phone I set the default access to grant.

again thanks for the help and thanks again if you make that vid to help other like me. I don't want to use the backup database anymore, don't want to end up bug again.

Use Folder Mount instead!

Well... A while ago I had these problems above. Now after hesitating a log time I updated to Resurrection Remix 4.0.6 Mod, Android 4.2.2. And (as expected) again DirectoryBind did not work! But since a while an alternative app is available:

My solution was to switch to Folder Mount because it works under 4.2.2 and has not so many bugs like DirectoryBind. Unfortunately DB development seems not to be continued... Also FM is available on Google Play...

Error msg installation Directory Bind

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble installing Directory Bind.

I installed Aptoide in order to install it, but when I want to install the app I get this error message:

You don't have enough space on hyour SDCard.

Please free up some space and try again.

I have a brand new 32Gig Sd card which is still totally empty, so it's impossible there is no more space (in storage settings available space is 28gig).

Could someone please help me with this issue otherwise I'll have to throw this phone in the River! :mad:

I have some issues with installing Gameloft games.

I have downloaded Asphalt 8 (apk + obb). My internal memory is only 1,84gb.

So I install the apk and put the obb files on my exsdcard. When I start the game it shows me the Gameloft icon and then it stops working.

I tried to bind the obb files but it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] teddy0209:
That's because the ext card is not fast enough... Binding 7 is works on my class 6 card, and 8 doesn't work, i have to put it on internal to be able to play... Don't know if class 10 card will work on asphalt8...

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] king200:
Sygic uses the most logical approach. You don't need to use any directory bind. Just move the /sygic folder from /sdcard/ to ExtSdCard. The app searches and will find the folder.

If your internal card is very low in space, download a minimum mapset at the first use and the rest of maps when you move the folder.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thephatmaster:
Hi there,

I have installed this on my rooted Galaxy Y as an alternative to Foldermount and Link2sd which don't work.

For some reason the app is not reading my root directory after the first level. So it will get /data but /data/data (where the files I want to link live) will be empty / 0 files.

Do I need to change some permissions? (Directory Bind has been given superuser permission)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] teddy0209:
This app is some what identical to foldermount but different from link2sd... Link2sd is for apps, directory bind is for moving data to external and mounting them to internal, it won't work in the root directory...

will it work on CM 10.2 based ROM?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thephatmaster:
Oh ok,

I thought the use of DB was for moving large data folders to external storage, and creating a symlink in the internal storage (in my case /data/data)

The issue is that it doesn't read the directory /data/data (foldermount does) Why would it read /data and not /data/data?

The setup on my phone is that the "internal" memory is not mounted as an sd card (e.g. at /data/Sd-card)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ajay1919:
No it's not true

If I move AURA I.e. sygic folder to extsd then it immediately make new AURA folder in sd & starts dwlding new data

Plz sm1 confirm how it will work

Thank you for helping me :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] king200:
If you are using an older version of Sygic Navigator, the folder is named Aura. In the newer versions, it is Sygic. I am using version 13.1. It worked in the 12.x versions too. The information on how to do it with current version http://help.sygic.com/entries/22159328-Android-How-do-I-move-Sygic-GPS-Navigation-to-my-SD-card-

I would make a new entry and it seemed like it worked but it was still keeping the information on my internal drive and whenever a file was added it would just copy it to the external drive as well so I had the same files on both drives. I figured out I could just move the target folder to the external card and just make a shortcut of the file in the external drive and copy that shortcut to the place where the file originally belonged. I learn that from this thread [HOW TO] Save all Google Play Music to External SD Card

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] watchman.see:
I have one very important question ever since I started using Directory Bind a week ago. Is this a known fact that when you are browsing the directory using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), you will see the internal storage showing files in the same folders that have already been moved to the external SDcard ? I am merely looking to confirm whether they are not merely the original folders and files that I forgot to delete AFTER I moved and "directory-bound" them to the SDcard.

Check handle usb connection in preferences, and leave root access on... But it is safer to check and manually unbind all before connecting to pc... Duplicate files on the internal should be just empty folders...

OUTSTANDING! And it "delivers"!

I can't thank XDA senior member "slig" ENOUGH for DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk. Thank you thank you thank you! And then a zillion more. When I was running AirDroid on my unrooted stock Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, there was always an "external_sd" link in my internal SDCARD that made it easy to navigate to both my internal and external SD card. AirDroid was a GREAT way to keep my smaller internal SDCARD clean by easily moving large files to my external SDCARD using my PC's web browser.

But THEN, I finally got brave and rooted this puppy. I always seem to give in eventually. It's such a great phone, but I wanted to move up to JellyBean from IceCreamSandwich because I didn't see any sign that T-Mobile was planning on doing it for me. So I bit the big one and TWRPed it with CM-10. SO great to get rid of all that T-Mobile bloatware! (But isn't that one of the biggest reasons that we all do it anyway?)

History lesson now behind us, we come to the crux. There was NO-LONGER a link to my external SDCARD on my internal one. Bottom line: AirDroid was useless for how I'd been using it. And come to discover, there were LOTS of applications that fell prey to the dilemma. I searched for Linux solutions and Google Play solutions and nothing seemed to get me where I needed to go.

I finally combined JUST the right search criteria into my web search and found this link to my FAVORITE Internet site, xda-developers. How could I resist? I couldn't! So I read through this and told myself, "Self, you need to give this guy a shot. It's JUST what you're looking for." And it was.

I want to point out, though, that the syntax has to be right in the pairing. The source needs to read "/external_sd/" and the target needs to read "/sdcard/external_sd/". The screenshots in the banner post on the thread have it the other way around which provides you a link to your internal card from your external card. I needed a link to my external card from my internal card. You, of course, do NOT want to have the "Transfer files from target to data." box check-marked. That would be catastrophic. All you want is a link, not to move all your external SDCARD data onto your internal SDCARD. OUCH! (Or is that "move" the other-way-around? Either way, it would be catastrophic for THIS purpose.)

Anyway, I felt that with everything that I've read elsewhere regarding folks trying to do the same as what I wanted (to no great avail that I could discover), I wanted to add my two-cents-worth into this thread so-as-to make it REAL clear how to accomplish what I needed with this AWESOMELY OUTSTANDING AND INCREDIBLE product.

GREAT WORK, "slig"! You really set the bar high on this one!

THANKS!

Errors on rooted LG Motion 4g

I have tried this app on my rooted lg motion 4g with ics 4.0.4 but when i browse to the data/data directory nothing is visible as if the Drive is not rooted when the app says its rooted and i can access this directory with both root explorer and File Manager, it also has supersu permissions. I cant recall exactly but i do remember a similar app before with this problem and the developer made some changes to fix it. Without access to this directory i cant move cache and other files over so its quite important.

I have installed all 4 posted versions with the same result.

Screenshots attached.

Any ideas????

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] teddy0209:
You're trying to move data from root directory, this app wasn't meant for that... This app is to move application data which are mainly on internal sdcard or sdcard/android/obb or data into your external card... Those large game/app files are mostly located there...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pedro1977:
Thanks for the info I wasnt aware of that, isnt there any possibility of opening up that directory? It would enable those wanting to move specific apps over like chrome to take advantage of increases in the performance etc of the latest sd cards (UHS1). There is an app called cacheapps2sd that moves all cache over for every app from data/data which is a little more general but important as it saved me 1gb. Im after something similar to this with the increased flexibility that your app offers, any ideas? Your app has saved me significant amounts of space and improved the performance of the phone, but I feel it could go a little further o)

Unfortuntely the LG Motion 4g has an sd card emulator so its not possible to move anything to external SD card via the OS. (sdcard\external_sd)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] teddy0209:
Try other apps 'cause development of this app has stopped a long time ago... Don't know if the developer is still around here on xda... Try link to sd if you're trying to move apps...
