This app really is driving me crazy.

In cm 10 on i9000, paths are different in comparison to previous androids.

To source path I wrote: /storage/sdcard0/android/data

To target path I wrote: /storage/sdcard1/android/data

I ticked the option below and it says: Data directory is not empty.

Of course it is empty ! I double checked. Then I unticked this option and it says "Enter valid target directory". Before this I had created a folder /android/data at my external sd card. Any ideas ? ?

Would you be able to add an option to set /system to rw on boot so directories can be moved to system? Or does this already occur?

Better Terminology Requested...

Not to beat a dead horse or anything. BUT really... The SOURCE is where you are going to put it and the TARGET is where it comes from???

I'm not really having problems with it, yet if I chose /mnt/sdcard/ as opposed to /sdcard/ the bind works but the programs using it puke all over themselves. They are the same data storage space. I can't see why it can't work with a System Symbolic link.

I only use DirectoryBind for two apps that insist upon saving to /sdcard/...for everything else I use Link2Sd.

Cheers,

BuBu

Shame. I would have at least liked to have thanked him. He last replied on page 13. Given that we're now on page 61, it's understandable that he may have been scared off. If only he'd provided the source. Dude, if you're listening...?

The app works great on my ZTE Blade running CM10. I only have one problem, which is that I'm using this for my music directory and the music app hangs onto the file even when paused in the background, preventing the umount from working. I had to kill the mediaserver process before it would work. It would be handy if the app could kill the process automatically by checking fuser/lsof.

Data folder empty on galaxy s3 verizon?

I'm trying to use directory bind but not getting anywhere, fast! I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3, its brand new, only had it a few hours so far. When I browse for the target location I need to get into /data to get to the installed apps in the data sub folder but it doesn't show any folders. I am definitely rooted as "Root Explorer" shows files in that location. When i go to the same folder in Astro file manager it also shows nothing - a completely empty directory.

I verified root as I have the SU app and when I open Directory Bind it says I have root access as well. When I opened it for the first time, the SU app pops up asking if I want to grant Directory Bind root access. I also tried changing the database mode, but no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do to make the subfolders of the data folder show up? I'm running DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mr_tris:
As far as I'm aware you can't Bind files in the data/data folder.

I would love someone to prove me wrong and show me how as all the Dead Trigger files are in there and it's the only game I can't move.

Access & Remember

Hi!

I downloaded this app, and I think this is the greatest app I've ever found on this forum!

Sadly, I have 2 problems with this app, and I hope you can help me with them.

My first problem is that if I install and open DirectoryBind, bind some directories, and then connect my phone to my PC, I can't access the inernal memory. Only the external memory (SD card) is accessable. I have to reboot my phone to make the internal memory accessable again.

My second problem is that DirectoryBind doesn't remember the bindings after reboot. No matter if I check the "Bind on boot" option, the app erases all my bindings everytime I reboot.

These 2 problems are really annoying, since I have to reboot everytime I make a new bind, to make my internal memory accessable again, but if I reboot I have to make all my bindings again.

Any solution?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] danarama:
The solutions to both these problems are in post 1 of this thread. Please re-read
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Mario1968:
From OP

If the last fix don't work for you, can you try to save the bindings, then restore, then try if the bindings survive after a reboot.

Hope this helps

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] djase:

thx anyway
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] advancedbasic:
I set up everything as per a few guide posts throughout this thread on my Sprint Galaxy S3 and it doesn't work.

The folder is listed as bound, it successfully will bind folders on boot, and it doesn't forget settings.

What's not working is the actual folder binding (Google Music). I set it up to store files destined for /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/ at /mnt/extSdCard/MusicCache/ yet when I go to select offline files in Google Music I'm presented with the space free on my internal SD card. Any idea why?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mkdr:
Does this app also work for Nexus 7 and moving apps to an USB OTG mounted storage device like USB sticks or card readers?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] danarama:
Yes, because it's bound. The purpose of this is to trick whichever app that the data is where it is supposed to be. In actuality its somewhere else but the apps don't know that

Don't see why it wouldn't work if the drive always is assigned the same mount point. Not tested this though
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ruarz:
it works for me, I have to use alternate mgmt though.

the only problem i have is the default directory for apps is only 1.10 gb so i can't download apps which take up more than this, even though i want to transfer them straight out of this directory.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pushwall:
Have you tried binding the entire obb directory where all the obb folders are located? That's the way mine is set up and it works. I'm sure you've tried it but thought I'd mention it anyway.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] djase:
nope same issue
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Gadhou:
What version are you using? I don't have problems with obb files like tdkr. Use version 0.2.0o then use the data transfer assistant when adding a bind. Hope it helps.

Edit: i also have deadspace bound and everything works ok. If you had an error before, trying putting it back to the priginal directory before running the sata transfer assistant.

corrupt data afyer update of moved game

Hello, I was able to use the program without any problem for the Dead Trigger game, but after doing an update the game doesn't start anymore and seems it's no longer in the list of installed programs, moreover I can,t move the content at the original position with Directorybind since I always get the following error: target directory is not empty.

What can I do? thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Gadhou:
Then its either you're doing something wrong, the files you are moving are already corrupted. For very large files, it may take several minutes to move the files. I suggest start fresh. Redownload the app, open directorybind>press menu> add new entry>>menu button>data transfer assistant>go to the folder you want to move (i.e. /sdcard/android/obb/asphalt7)>select button>add. You dont need to chamge anything. But before doing all this, make sure you tried to run the application at least once.

Try deleting whatever files there is on the dead trigger folder, then move the files back in directory bind, then try to update it. W/c is weird since i also had an update on dead trigger but my game was not affected.

A doubt..suppose i am going to change roms.... maybe even change to a jellybean rom, should i transfer my external sd data for directory bind back to my internal before i flash.... and do the directory bind again after flash?... or i dont have to do it and after restoring my backup after flash, it would normally work??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Magissia:
Hello

I'm using the 2.0o version, and when i try to mount something from /Removable/MicroSD i get the error "invalid path"

I'm using a TF101 on stock .24 and guevor kernel.

When force mounting invalid path, and moving game's data to /Removable/MicroSD/Data/ instaed of mnt/sdcard/android/data/ , the game act like i just installed it and redownload everything. (tested with nfs hot pursuit and SoulCraft)

I used directory bind file moving.

Regards

Edit : Problem sort of resolved itself for the "where are files" part, but still need a fix for the "invalid path" while there's nothing more valid than the path i used.

Since you need root to use this app, anyway, i think the program should not default to /sdcard/ but to /

Also, adding a delay per mount can be nice for devices that may mount external storage slowly, we don't need some of the mounts ready at boot anyway, we are not suposed to boot the device just to play directly.

Edit 2:

Seems the app is unable to mount folder with spaces in the folder's name

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] danarama:
Plug in your usb, create a new entry in the app, delete everything in the source field. Long press the empty source field to bring up the root directories and browse to the location on the usb drive.

I don't know your device so couldn't tell you the exact location. /mnt is the best place to start. On the s3 its /mnt/UsbDriveA

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] naguz:
Has any commented/contacted the dev about the fact that the instructions/info on the setup screen are completely wrong?

In the "Enter source (data) path" You shall NOT enter the source/data app. You are supposed to enter where you WANT the data to be stored, and optionally (if you check the checkbox) where to MOVE the data. Ie. the destination and definitely not the source. Basically, it asks for he very same path as the seond filed does.

While the description for the second field is not wrong, the combination of the instructions are "not clear" to put it mildly

Renaming the fields to

"Where do you want to store the data?" and "Were is the data currently?"/"Where is the app storing the data now?" wold both be correct and also quite intuitive. Just as suggestion if the dev reads this.

Also a checkbx for "automatically create a subolder with he same name as source folder wold elliminate he need for creating and typing in the name of a new subfolder for every game, and simply allow me too choose the current data path, and have /externalsdcard/gamedata/ set as the target for every entry.

@rootSU: Would SDcard even show in he battery stats when the system thinks it's reading data from internal memory? How would it know/measure the battery drain, and what app did you use to determinene this?

Love this app on my Huawei Mediapad. NOVA3 alone takes 1.6GB of space...

I have problems on my Galaxy S3 I've tried transferring a few large games to my ext_sdcard, and they do transfer; but the original data on the internal phone memory isn't﻿ deleted after the files are transferred to ext_sdcard.Then, after I delete it from the internal phone memory after the files have transferred to the ext_sdcard and try to play the game, the game is still asking to download all the data again. I really don't get why this is the case.Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] _Sofos_:
Keep in mind that even if you go through internal memory into your folder your explorer will see the files that are in your external sdcard.

Ex. I have 7gb free in my Internal sdcard, if i go with root explorer at mnt/sdcard/test/ and check up top it shows 3gb free(that's my ext_sdcard free space) . That's because test folder is binded.

So.. i believe you've just deleted the data from your external sdcard..

Sygic can be installed onto external SD card anyway. I did it. All you have to do is copy the Sygc folders from internal to external SD card, uninstall Sygic, remove all Sygic folders from the internal SD card, reboot the phone, reinstall Sygic from the Android market. There's an extended procedure for this on the Sygic support webstite.

I just read the XDA news article about this app. The article says that symlinking between fat32 and ext3/4 is impossible, therefor you can use this DirectoryBind app.

I do not understand this, I have tried symlinking my Google Play Music cache directory from internal to external sdcard on my SGS3, and it works perfectly.

Whats going on here? Is my device magical?

Or did I misunderstand something?

I think this is not a symlink, is a mount directory. Its "the same" method that you can do in windows mounting a HDD pointing to a folder

You got me wrong there, I am not using DirectoryBind. My question was more general.

I actually did make a symlink using ln -s /external-sdcard-folder /data-partition-folder and it does work.

Actually I didnt type it by hand, but I used Root Explorer to create the link.

(You can long-press a folder on the external sd-card in Root Explorer and tap "Link folder" or something like that. I dont know the exact command in english. Then you can browse to your internal sd-card or data partition and insert the link there.)

It's basically the same as if you use Terminal Emulator and "ln -s".

For me it works, even though the external card is FAT and the data partition is EXT...

And yes, it does stick with a reboot.
