OK to the Dev: I'm using directory bind on my SGS3 and it works perfectly except for one thing I have discovered.

The binding process at boot interferes with the browser selecting the default storage if set to internal memory. Because it's unmounted by Directory bind right when the browser is setting this.

I have used System Tuner app to prevent the Browser loading at boot which fixes the problem!

Could an option be added to enable this in the app itself?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] danarama:
What do you mean? What directories do you bind?

I dont use teh stock browser but I could test perhaps. Not sure what you mean about the browser resetting to memory card though.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rlorange:
It's an issue with JB LIB... I now know it doesn't depend on Directory Bind...

If you have a micro SD card active and choose internal storage as default in advanced settings then every time you reboot it changes to the memory card...

Preventing browser from loading at startup with System Tuner app semms to fix it...

Turns out it may have nothing to do with Directory Bind

My Samsung Galaxy 5 S WIFI says "Package corrupeted" when installs. I tried many download sourced and versions
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] khan1989:
Works Brillantly!! Common mistake i keep making is that I fail to type extSdCard correctly as it is case sensitive. So keep getting blue or red. Does disapear sometimes, and on reboot so have to backup and restore constantly. Hopefully we get a more stable one soon.

Using this on a Galaxy S3 DLI8. App in question here is tomtom (yes i side-loaded it, as its not available on GS3 yet)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] carabaothai:
WHat do you write in Diectory Bind for TOmTOM ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blueeagle69:
This has been posted previously. But if you long press on the source or target fields, you can select folder structure, without typing.

And if you make sure Alternate dbase management is ticked. The disappearing entries shouldn't happen.

Ensure Persistent Service is ticked too.

Search is your friend:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bond@007:
Very great app !!! ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Thomas.:
So far it's alright, no FC :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lambstone:
Will this work with say... galaxy tab p1000?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
It should, try and tell us :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Thomas.:
Do you plan to publish your application on Android Market?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tolis626:
Hey slig.While DB has been working as expected in the last few days,there was a problem with binds disappearing after a while.Not completely though,games played ok.I had to backup my databases and press restore.Only then would the binds show up again.

Also,I had a problem with the sdcard not unmounting properly when connected to the PC,but I'm not sure it was DB's fault.Needed a reboot to sort it out though.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stone_ship:
Yeah slig!

I just tried out version "n" and happy to report that Bind on boot is working now! Tested with both Gameloft and Google Music files. USB connection is also working as expected. I should have included more info about my system in my previous post:

SGH-i777 (AT&T SGS2 variant)

2.3.4 UCKH7-based firmware

using "alt dbase mgmt"
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
What You saying is consistent - if binds disappear they are not umounted on usb connect. I need dumped logs from Your phone to pinpoint the problem. Are you using alternate dbase mgmt ? For now I just know that application is loosing it's database (probably after being killed by OS) and cannot reload it for some reason... logs would be VERY helpful to improve application.

Yes I have such plan, but as You see at first I have to resolve some issues so people who are expecting high quality from apps on market don't get pissed :)

Ps. Dear all :) That f***en option "alternate dbase mgmt" must be removed and issue with database save/reload resolved for good. It would be extremly useful if somebody who have to use alternate dbase mgmt post his (as much extensive as possible) dumped logs without this option, because for now I'm unable to reproduce this and still know nothing about this problem. This option is just a dirty patch. The more logs the better.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tolis626:
Well,this IS a high quality app. ;)

You could make it a little prettier though and you could also build it with ICS SDK,but anyway,it's really good already. :)

So,after installing the newest version,binds don't disappear whether I use alternate dbase mgmt or not,even after reboot.Problem is it doesn't actually..."bind" the folders on boot.The entries are there,but not active or something.It *could* have to do with needing a larger delay for the data folder(I'll try with 90secs and see how it goes).I'll provide logs if needed.

Oh,and it mounts and unmounts at USB connection alright now. ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
Yes, it's another subject that has to be addressed. I have plans to talk to my artist friend to make some nice icons.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Thomas.:
Why app need root rights when nothing does? When I played game, was showed to me about rights 3 times.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
App is running sticky service that is restarted everytime it is killed (usually, android app lifecycle has some mysteries for me :) ), it used to store current status of entries and to handle events like USB connect/disconnect. If OS or taskkiller kills this application it restarts some time after and reads current status of entries (by invoking mount command - check if they are mounted - this requires root privileges). It's because freshly stared app does now know if entries are mounted or not. You can see details about that in log dump. If You are using taskkiller or resource hungry app what you saying - may happen. I could put a persistent notification with icon on status bar - probably then application would not be killed, but it can be annoying. Also I suppose You can disable this message in Superuser app.

Without this mechanism there were severe problems especially with USB connect umount - because restarted app was not aware that entries were mounted, also statuses in list were inaccurate.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dark_Lord0122:
this app is amazing! i didn't know how to use it in the first 30 seconds but its really easy!!

hope you release it as paid in the market sometime soon.

can someone share the location of ShadowGun and Ridtide GP please?

thanks in advance.

I disabled "handle usb connection", on ICS is probably don't needed, but I still get messages about rights...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lambstone:
I've tested it on P1000 galaxy tab and it does not work :( does not bind.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
Disabling USB connection will not disable this function as application check for mounted entries always on start, otherwise entries list would not be accurate. If it's so annoying I'll look how to prevent killing application.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] evil_moses:
Hi,

I'm using alternative db mgmt. Do you still need logs?

P.S. +1 for paid market app. You've something that signifantly improves our beloved SGS2, why shouldn't you be compensated for it?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
If only it was that simple. Going commercial ensures the noise to signal ratio is overloaded by users who have unbelievable demands. :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] slig:
Yes, If you can - give me logs without this option enabled. I need to figure out why some people need this option while others don't.

I feel compensated by community :) There is so much great stuff here. Mobile programming is my hobby if I start to earn money it will became boring job. So it will be on market but as free application, just give me some time to figure out all issues and improve interface.

Here I also need logs dump to check what's wrong. I'm willing to try to adapt application but need that informations.

I've posted version "o". There is option "Persistent service", please UNCHECK it (as it's checked by default) and test if message still appears. After unchecking this option killed application should stay dead until it's needed again (usb event or starting from launcher). Also please report if unchecking does not cause any issues, maybe this should be default setting.

Good job ;) . 1 more question. Can u tell me Backstab's system path ? It's crushing after backup fail and idk how to redownload.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sjpn:
Has anyone tried setting up two directories to point to the same external card target directory? Will that mess things up? I want external storage for photos i sync via eye-fi. My external card is 64gb, so it would be ideal for holding lots of images, maybe even raw format. By default eye-fi saves to internal but with this app, i can make it save on external.

But i also want my pogoplug app to sync these images when I'm at home on my wifi. By default, it scans and sync s whatever is in the DCIM folder. I want to make a sub first in dcim that points to the external folder that eye-fi is writing to. Did i totally confused you guys yet?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] carabaothai:

Great tool !!!!

i managed to bind the obb directory to external usb stick on my Nexus 7 - giving me a huge free space on internal memory ...8)

but :

USB stick is very slow (ok - it's an old one) - and i can't play and charge at the same time - so my next try was to bind the obb dir to a CIFS Share with cifs manager. It works - but it only gives me read permission - so no new install is possible.

Can anyone help me here ... it would be more than great to use WLAN-N speed binding the obb dir with cifs to my PC in my home network, giving the nexus 7 unlimited storage for games - AND CHARGING at the same time.

Maybe also "sharing" the obb dir on Cifs on multible devices is possible (obb files ar read only ?) ....

Can someone try to bind a directory to cifs share and getting r/w permission ?

Please help ! Thank you !!!

fifa 12 apk

Is there any way for me to move the fifa 12 game files(1.5 gb) , not the apk, to my external sd? i manually moved it to my external sd using my laptop after which didn't work out and also moved it using this directorybind apk. both didn't work out as the fifa 12 app kept asking me to download the entire game files again. help would be really appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] danarama:
Screenshot of your settings for that bind would help us check its right.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mattyyey:
locations to use....

So obviously on the SGS3 its not /sdcard/externalsd/ (default) and when i tried to use /storage/sdcard0 and storage/sdcard1 it just failed. However quickly reminding myself of the data structure using adb shell - on the SGS3 you can use /sdcard/ and /extSdCard/ and it works! I've just done my first bind for GTA3! o thank god! I've got a class 6 I used to use for a form of data2sd so i know its fast enough... the game plays just fine! When I get back from work, I'll me moving all my games over (batman/ashfault/ maxy in pain and mass effect XD ) yay! I only had like 1gb left after installing so many big 3d games... not I'll have LOADS.

anyways on the SGS3 use

/extSdCard/ ----external sd card

/sdcard/ -----Internal Memory pretending to be a sdcard. :angel: :p

suggest you install storage analyzer from the market. With this app, you can visually see which directories have data.

Even better, it shows the binds you've made as well.

Great app, but cannot save binds?

Works great on Sony Xperia Tipo with ICS. However, it refuses to keep savings like after reboot. At the moment I do backup and then restore after phone is restarted. Since there's a boot option in the software, I'd think storing the binds would be part of the app...

Τry this

Make a folder called tomtom in /sdcard.Then go to /sdcard/external_sd and make a folder tomtom.

Then go to directorybind and add a new bind as follow

at source /sdcard/external_sd/tomtom/

at target /sdcard/tomtom/

open the program and let it to download all the necessary.

If you allready download in /sdcard move tomtom folder in /sdcard/external_sd make an empty folder tomtom in /sdcard and then make the bind

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] programatix:
Here's a thought:

- before transferring the data, make sure you are familiar with the original directory tree.

- make the transfer

- bind the folder

- check the directory tree and make sure that it is the same. This part is crucial.

Regarding loading speed, sd micro card is usually slower than the internal flash, so you need to live with it or change to a faster sd micro card.

As asked before, to block "root access granted " msg during game, upgrade SuperSU to SuperSU PRO (paid version from play store). Then you will have option to disable that notification for this and any root app.

Problems on Acer Iconia 500 Jelly Bean

Used DirectoryBind for a few months on my Acer Iconia 500 tablet. At that time it was running ICS based on CyanogenMod. It's a from from TegraOwners. Worked great at the time and really helped me out since the tablet only has 5.5gb of usable storage.

I stopped using DB when I did a full wipe when I upgraded to TegraOwners CM10 based Jelly Bean rom.

That rom is now getting stable enough I don't foresee going back to ICS.

However I tried to install DB on it today and start using it for large game directories. I got my first directory swap all set up and it transferred the files but then it didn't show up in the DB list. I readded it and click the icon to try to make it work, the icon would only turn red.

Then I imported my previous DB list and all of them would only turn red. They all worked fine in ICS.

Am I missing a step or does anyone have a suggestion of what I should try?

Thanks in advance!
