Hmm OK I want to transfer dead space data to external SD-card. I press menu, add new entry. The data for the game is in /sdcard/android/data/com.ea.deadspace_row/

Under "enter source (data) path" I directed it to /sdcard/android/data/com.ea.deadspace_row/

under "enter mount (target) path" I choose /sdcard/external_sd/

I choose "transfer files from target to data" but all I get is "data directory is not empty"

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] danarama:
Thats because you did the exact opposite of what I said. Have another read of my post, in particular the lines that end with "to" and "from" ;)

That solution is not your solution. You don't have to have the same name. I don't. Its just you got your to and from backwards - whichvis easily done as the descriptions in the app don't make sense

Well that was quite annoying. I bind all the games to my external SD-card, after reboot all binding is gone (?) I have auto-bind checked on reboot.

directorybind 0.2.0o is not working

Hey guys,

Can anyone help me on how to transfer the apps I transferred via Link2SD(default directory = /mnt/asec/) to "/sdcard/" directory.

Please help me on this
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] boodies:
Hi guys,

I just had a question for those who already went through the process. I'm about to install a new rom. [without data wipe] How will that affect directory bind? Would all I have to do is just restore the databse? I'm guessin so since the actual files will still be on my external micro sd card. Thanks a lot!

edit: And I just wanted to add that the current description in your app as to the target and source is very confusing for many. A simple wording change might help a lot of people with the initial confusion.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dr.ketan:
Simply flashing rom without wiping shouldn't affect directory bind.

If you want to wipe then this simple steps will work

1 copy all folder which you have bind (empty) from internal sd card

2 . back up director bind (I am using titanium)

3 wipe / wipe and flash rom

4.restore all folder you have copied to internal sd card(empty)

5.restore directory bind

Done

ok, does anyone got this app to work on Nexus 7? i want to move NFS Most Wanted to my FAT32 USB drive mounted with Stickmount.

did the entry, moved the data automatically, green save icon, set on boot......

...but everytime i run NFS it wants to redownload again.

what gives?

thanks in advance,
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] programatix:
Unless you have your usb stick inserted and have stickmount run before directory bind, then of course you'll need to re download as it failed to mount.

After that,the potential of this app is extreeme!very great works OP,hope you will continue supporting this with updates\fix!

FYI on nexus7 i also tried THIS..but i don't know why,i had problems and game data aren't downloaded directly on external microsd..but on tab's storage,instead with directory bind,the problem is that the games try re-download resources after dir-bind move them in external_sd (in my case a 32gb microSD inserted in usb pen adaptor,but i tried also wityh a 1 TB hard drive formatted in ntfs)

Working fine on stock with games like Asphalt 7 and Shadowgun.. but any other gameloft doesn't work with this link done, even if Android does the soft link correctly (you can check navigation through it).

Maybe some games have a protection against this? For example checking if it's a soft link, checking the size of the soft link folder, to check if the user has downloaded the needed data?

It could be awesome if this could be fixed so it works with all the games, more than being a simply softlink that can be detected :(

I'm using CM10 on a Galaxy S Blaze. Directory Bind autobinds fine when re-mounting after USB disconnect, but unmounting on USB connect takes really long, and if I leave the Directory Bind window open, it gives me a "not responding" error message. I can click "Wait" and it will unmount,

I tried dumping logcat, but the file comes out empty.

Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Tried searching the thread, couldn't find anything. I used to do the script method to store Google music in external SD, but Directory Bind seems a safer option because you can unbind anytime.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] silkshadow:
Quick question. So I used this awesome tool and its working so far. I have a 64GB card coming in a few days. Do I have to undo the binds before switching cards? Or can I just copy all the files to the new card and stick it in and everything will be fine? I'm on a n7100 and using exfat on the card.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dr.ketan:
If new card will have all folders you have bind then it should work, no need to do anything.

First copy all the folder (which you have bind) to new card, then switch off device and swap cards, it should work fine

some problem

Thanks for a simple to use app but it has some strange problem: the actual mountain path by the Android OS on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 is /storage/ (/storage/sdcard0/ for the internal memory and /storage/extSdCard/ for the micro sdcard) - Directory Bind says that path is not correct when using /storage/sdcard0, but it's working with the symlink /sdcard/... what's broken there ?

Make a manual backup of your database, (just to make sure it has one) then enable "Alternative dbase mgnt" in the settings.

Make sure you hit home and not back. This keeps it running.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sky1193:
Sorry for bad handwriting. Basically go up until you get to / then refer to first image for the target any files in there will be a good target. Then go all the way up and hit storage then refer to second image. The defaults should look like my 3rd image but have that box checked. Done on Note II but should work for all Samsung family having this issue. Then follow the method of doing the binding using these sources and it should work as it did for me. Basically don't use /storage/sdcard0 it won't work but going right to /sdcard does.

How to erase the orphened entries in Directory Binding ?

Hi folks

I have been successfully using Directory Binding on my S7562 Duos and I am very happy with it. The above question perhaps might have been asked and answered before, but I could not find and reference to it.

I want is to delete item 1,2 and 3. I tried "long pressing the entries/delete/Delete directories & data files". It deleted the Directories etc ok but they are still visible on the main DB Applet. I am attaching screen shot to easily identify my problem, for some one to help me in to this. Thanks.

I am having the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I've renamed the paths so that I can get the icon in Directory Bind to turn green, but when I go into the corresponding app, it asks to download all of the data again.

Anyone got a solution for this? I sincerely hope so, I love 4.2.1 with CM 10.1, it is super-smooth! However, if I cannot find a fix, I am going to have to restore my nandroid backup to CM 10.0 as I have many apps that I need the external sd card space.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zmore:
*subscribed*, since I'm curious to see if bind mounting will work again with 4.2's new multi-user paradigm, since none of the methods I used to use for Google Music on external work anymore: init.d scripts, SManager script onboot, or Directory Bind (the more popular way)

Have to go without my dozens of gigs of pinned music (on 64GB ext) until a dev figures out a workaround, else, I have to manually do the mount -o bind /src /dst from an adb shell after every bootup... which gets old fast.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] NightwingWV:
That's one of the minor problems I'm still wrestling with too. I have about 15 apps installed on the internal SD card, but only 5 of those show up in the /sdcard/Android/data/ folder. Once I figured out how to do the binding, I was able to move those 5 apps and free up over 300MB of space.

However, the other 10 apps (Angry Birds Star Wars is one of them) are nowhere to be found, even though they are listed as being on the SD card in the App Manager.

Does anyone have any ideas where those "invisible apps" might be stored at? :confused::confused:

Other than that, the Directory Bind is an AWESOME app :good:, and thanks to all the help from the folks on this great forum I was able to get it to work without getting any more gray hair. :highfive:

The only "glitch" I still encounter is, that after I reboot the tablet the binds don't automatically turn back on (yes, "Bind on Boot" IS checked, and "Alternate dbase mgmt" and "Persistent Service" are also checked). I have to go into the Directory Bind app first after reboot and click "Bind Selected" to restore the binds, BUT that's a small price to pay for being able to actually make use of the external SD card. I can definitely live with this little bit of inconvenience!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zmore:
No - the only way I have been getting it to work in 4.2 (CM10.1) is by manually setting up the bind mount in an adb root shell from my computer after each bootup. Doesn't stick from any app, including the Terminal app, so, adb + computer is the only way I've found. Perhaps a workaround app using adb locally could be used here...

An ATT SGS3 running CM10.1.

$ adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
shell@android:/ # cd /sdcard
shell@android:/sdcard # cat bindmount_GoogleMusicCache.sh
mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/GoogleMusicCache/ /data/data/com.google.android.music/
touch /sdcard/itworked
shell@android:/sdcard # sh bindmount_GoogleMusicCache.sh
shell@android:/sdcard # mount|grep music
/dev/block/vold/179:97 /data/data/com.google.android.music vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
shell@android:/sdcard # exit

And as you can see by the progress bar at the bottom of my attached Google Music screenshot, I'm using ~60% of a 64GB external sd, with 19GB free, so, it's working... crudely.

Just needing some clarification

I think I'm may be misunderstanding what the app is asking, so I think I need some clarification or guidance. I'm on Samsung Galaxy Note II (sprint). I have a Scandisk Ulta 64GB class 10 SDXC card.

I tried it out and worked fine, but I didn't realize it wasn't putting the information my SD card, but just the phone. I tried the USB connect to without unbinding to see if the app would do it. Unfortunately, it lost the game data; I found it on the phone's storage.

I've tried setting up the phone to default to the SDXC. But it doesn't seem to keep. I've tried to just manual one game, but it doesn't look right, so I haven't tired it.

I did some screen captures:

I assume target path should be the SDXC card

I assume this is where program is originally installed

This has it going to the same place. The external card is /storage/SdCard/ Thus, I assume the path should be /storage/SdCard/DirectoryBind/ea.games.nfs13_na/

When I use the data transfer assistant, it puts me at /storage, rather than /sdcard/external_sdcard This happen also when I changed the data directory to /storage/sdcard0/

I may just have what the data and target backwards. I did a search, even specifically to the phone, but didn't find anything to answer my question. The closest was Post 1234, which indicates my understanding is reversed.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sky1193:
I never used the transfer assistant, just seemed confusing to me. If I'm reading it right, it looks like you're doing it right but the target should just be /sdcard and the data folder needs to be the same, just on external sd. The target is where the data should be found on the internal stage. The data is where you are putting it, the external sd. So the target should be for example /sdcard/Android/data/(folder name here) then make a folder on the sd card that matches that so that it would read /storage/extSDCard/Android/data/(folder name here). Included is an example of my bind for ME: Infiltrator.

Sorry for double post forgot to upload this one and it wouldn't let me edit and include it. This is for NFS, I went as far as the files folder but only th the general folder for the app is needed.

HELP !

I have a working directory bind but just cant get the Backup Database to work have set up the database config and checked all spellings.

Just comes up fail.

Can any one help with this..?

Config is set to mnt/external_sd/backups

I need to get this working so that I can Flash a new ROM..

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lovekeiiy:
yes, my thinking was backwards. I was thinking from an installation standpoint. Target being where to move the files, and data being where they are currently located.

The when I go to add a application, say a game, everything seems to go ok. I assumed all the files for the application would have been moved the mirco SD card and off the phone's storage. When I checked with ES File Explorer, I found the application on the mirco SD card, but also on the phone storage. It made a copy of the micro SD card. I did check the box that said to moves to the data destination, which I assume meant to do a cut and paste, sort of move. I also notice my phone's storage space did not increase either, which also confirms DB just copied it as well.

I tried moving the app from the phone storage. When I wen to DB, I got a red icon. I did not mess with the files that DB moved to the SD card.

I did a search and look like others had the same or similar issue, but did not found a solution; a lot of me toos. I do have alt management and persistent services checked on in preferences.

Thanks in advance.
