How can I properly uninstall the game from phone which is binded through Directory Bind?

First I must to disable entry in Directory Bind and then normally uninstall game?

Can you write me process in steps?
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:

Anyone having problems of the directory bind stopping just install the latest version that is oo I think, that one is more stable and directory bind won't stop all the time.
[Galaxy S III General] djwilliams100:
A simple restart will remove all the files from the original folder after you have used directory bind
[Galaxy S III General] roycejp:
Folders get copied, but don't appear in the list

Hello,

I just tried DirectoryBind on my SGS3 (intl).

My folders moved fine from sdcard to extsdcard, but the folder pairs did not appear in the list (list was empty).

So I tried 'Add' without checking 'transfer files from target to data' , using the correct path names for both, but it says 'enter valid directory!'

my 'Data' : /mnt/extSdCard/Android

my 'target' : /mnt/sdcard/Android

What went wrong ?
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
Read the first page again your data path is wrong

1. Install directory bind.

2. goto app preferences

Change the default data path to

/mnt/extSdCard/

Change the default target path to

/sdcard/
[Galaxy S III General] roycejp:
Yes, in the meantime, I had tried with exactly the same paths as described.

First time, the result was the same.

Tried again, and folders got copied to extSdCard (into DirectoryBind folder) but original folders were still there.

This time the folder pair did appear, ticked & green.

So I restarted, and upon reboot the folder pair had disappeared.

Also, I noticed that the extSDcard folders size was smaller that SDcard original.

Thanks.

Remove mnt from the target
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
Try doing the data path and target without the word android and then go into preferences and tick on bind after boot.

The best thing to do while here is read everything until you understand it until it's clear in your head and don't rush and follow instructions as they are written.

That way you're less likely to damage your phone

Oh and do what djWilliams said, didn't spot that
[Galaxy S III General] ryanoption:
After binding my camera folder when I take a picture it still creates a file on the internal SD card. I know this was asked before and the answer was you did not have to delete these files. But my internal memory still shows that there is space being used on internal SD. Is that normal? Would deleting the files defeat the purpose of"binding"?Would it also delete the blinded folders and files as well?
[Galaxy S III General] ryanoption:
Also not keeping the bind settings on reboot. Reboot is clearing the SD card file folder for camera clearing up space and yes I have the option checked to bind on boot but reboot still breaks the bind.

I have a sprint gs3 and I'm trying to bind asphalt 7.

My data is /mnt/external_sd/DirectoryBind/obb/

My target is /sdcard/Android/obb/

Its not working am I doing something wrong? Running paranoid android
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
Yes you should follow the instructions on the first page, your target and data paths are wrong
[Galaxy S III General] im.nick.hello:
I checked there is no /extSdCard/ on my device. Only /external_sd/
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
The extsdcard is your external sd card, it will only work if you put in the correct data and target paths.

Believe me it will work, the instructions aren't wrong.

Follow the instructions :D
[Galaxy S III General] im.nick.hello:
Ok I must be doing something wrong then.

http://imgur.com/a/pVrNA

Here are some screenshots.

The first one is of my data and target paths set for asphalt 7.

Second one shows this error I get. When I press 'create' it pops right back up.

Third is inside the /mnt/ directory on root explorer.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
Follow these screenshots from first page.

How do you take screenshots?
[Galaxy S III General] im.nick.hello:
I have followed the screenshots and continue to receive that error. Look in my /mnt/ directory there is no extSdCard
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
That's because your data and target paths are both wrong and not the same as in the instructions or the screenshots.

Sorry can't help you if you keep doing them wrong and don't follow instructions.

[Galaxy S III General] markamps:
Thanks for this post. Very helpful. And I really love how it save me a lot of precious space on my internal memory.

Just wanna ask a question. I'm a flash addict. Every time there's a new build released for our phone, I flash it right away. What will happen to my binded apps after flashing a new rom (with full wipe)? What kind of backup should I make so I can easily restore my binded apps and avoid repeating the whole process. Thanks in advence. :)
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
Go into preferences, tick bind on boot, untick handle usb connection, tick alternate dbs management and tick persistent service.

Before wiping your memory do a nandroid backup that way when you get everything back directory bind will just bind everything up again.

Just make sure you don't erase your external memory card :)
[Galaxy S III General] yelkhayat:
Hello !! sorry for interfering, but i got a new galaxy note II and i want to move some apps to external sd card so i downloaded directory bind.apk and added it to the sdcard folder through my laptop, and i was trying to install it using Astro file manager, however, while installation, it gave me "not enough space" although i have around 6GB free, do you think this is because the device is still not rooted ?!

[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:

but i can find the external card. the only thing i cant do is move the apk completely for the external sd. i got always the apk duplicated in both memories

galaxy note 2 phone

the problem is, after transfering the aplication to the memory card, the aplication continues to appear on the bar of the internal memory and on the internal applications, but teh free internal memory is altered, as if teh aplication is not on the internal memory. My doubt is if the internal memory bar will become all full, will the phone accept installing more applications, due to the fact that the available memory says that it still contains some free space. i am adding the images taken from my phone before and after moving the game (shadow gun) with directory bind to the SD card, my phone is Galaxy Note II (jelly bean).
[Galaxy S III General] coolnand:
I have a doubt . Does this bind binds all the application data? Or we can individually add app??

You have to bind checked after

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Maybe you deleted some data from your sd card?

Check extended sd card files to see if it is still there under directory bind using your file manager.

Double check in preferences if you have ticked bind on boot and persistent service
[Galaxy S III General] HolySafari:
I checked my external sd and the files were still there and also I have those two options ticked off

Maybe it is just this one time I hope so cause I don't want to lose more saving

If this happens again I will report it here

Thanks again for the fast reply

[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
Try unpressing the green part of your game in directory bind and then press and hold on your game, then press delete then tick transfer files back.

After this then bind the game back again.

Does your game still work?

Did you update your game but stop it in the process? If yes then the game would unbind thinking you have deleted the game and you would have to download the game again and delete your file from your extended sd card then rebind it back from your sd card.
[Galaxy S III General] ryanzeus31:
Tweak GL data location

For GameLoft Game, U don't need directory bind, because GameLoft Game will detect automatically where your game data located,

even U put it on USB flashdrive (I have tested it for NOVA 3 and Wild Blood),

Just put your data first (where ever U want) and then install the APK file, run the game and it will detect the data automatically...

Some gameloft game need to tweak the preferences file manually, step:

1. Make sure your game not run in background and then open root explorer (u must be root)

2. located to /data/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftXXHM/shared_prefs/xxxxx.xml

(XX = game ID, xxxxx.xml = preferences file)

3. open a xml file with text editor, find xml file that contain a line like this

<string name="SDFolder">/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftWBHM/files</string>

4. then change the path to your data path.

5. save and run the game.
[Galaxy S III General] RedKingCrab:
Doesn't work

How is it that the target folder is de sdcard and not the extsdcard?

When I insert this, thans the app say's: Folder is not empty.

When I change the target folder into extsdcard (and the source the sdcard) it moves the selected app.

I do not see the movement of the app in the binding menu (even with alternative management checked on).

I'm sorry, but it doesn't work for me.

Running on CF root with samsung stock firmware (JB 4.1.1)
[Galaxy S III General] leeznon:
How do I go back?

When I enter the app again, the previously made entries don't show up in the "directory bind" (the screen in the last picture from the OP).
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
You have to remember to tick persistent service in preferences and bind on boot.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

You've confused me, it works if you follow the screen shots from first page.

After binding files will still say they are in sd but if you check your extended sd directory bind folder files are in there

You've confused me, it works if you follow the screen shots from first page.

I'm sorry to say, but it doesn't work. I cannot get it running on my samnsung s3 (JB 4.1.1)

I tried several applications. Directory Bind (DB) does move the files, but they don't show up in the (first) menu (this menu loads at run of DB). The maker of DB warned that this could happen. Therefore he made a "alternative management" option (first page of thread on the bottom of his post). When I tick this option, it also doesn't work.

I cannot see the action DB did when I moved the files from one location to another.

At appears not to bind the apps, because when I run the they five me an error.
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
It works for me, btw I installed the 0.2.o0 version ;)

You must be doing it wrong :)
[Galaxy S III General] RedKingCrab:
I installed that one to.

It's probably because I'm running on stock firmware.

You're running a CFW?

BTW, i've unrooted my phone again.

Couldn't install manual apk's anymore either....
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
You need to be rooted for it to work, jellybean stock cwm and supersu

[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:

[Galaxy S III General] RedKingCrab:
And how did you define the sourcepath and the targetpath?

In my opinion these two are mixed up with each other (target should be source and vise versa)

Binding disappears after reboot

have an s3 i9300 with omega rom v32 and siyahkernel...

followed all the instructions to the T, but am facing a prob.

upon binding a folder, it moves the data to the external sd and this is reflected in the memory status, the app or game also works without any issue. so, this part works without a hitch. the prob. is that, the binding disappears upon restarting the mobile. tried this with different files, but the result is the same.

NB: yes, i have the bind on boot option ticked.
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
This was a bug using the earlier versions try using latest version which is 0o

Also tick alternate db management
[Galaxy S III General] Flame Red:
Thank you. That fixed the reboot issue of not keeping the binds :)

One thing I did notice. When I create a new bind using the transfer transfer assistant, I MUST check "Transfer files from target to data"

I click add - and it provides a pop up to create the directory, click create, then click add button, then it will say directory is empty,

then I uncheck it and click add again and it creates the bind.

If I do not check then uncheck this "Transfer files from target to data" box, it does not seem to create the directory on the external SD, and the bind fails (shows red) when activated.

Thank you for this wonderful aid :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
I didn't make this :D

Just thought I'd help a bit, thats all

If I want to try people's roms I make a backup of just all user apps using tutanium backup then when on the new rom restore data then press bind and all apps are binded back up again :)

Titanium is another wonderful aid

I'm trying to use this as ext2internalsd isnt viable due to the gallery blanking out on JB when the mod is in force.

Im trying to bind Bard's Tale and it is saying there are no files present and to create which I do, and it doesn't bind. All target paths are exactly what they should be. I can bind the whole data folder and that works but I dont want to do that.

Also after a short while I get persistent messages that Directory Bind has stopped working which freezes my phone for a few seconds.

Anyone know what to do?
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
Download the newest version which is o0

You have to change the path for the whole of the data for each game or else they won't work.

Bard's tale has the option of sd internal or extended sd if you choose the 3 gig version.
[Galaxy S III General] Kobrax:
Thanks

Yes I got Bards Tale working by just installing to ext sd card,

trying to do the Gameloft "Eternal legacy" now..

I can bind ok now, but the bind doesnt stick, even if I dont reboot.

I bind check, the green save button shows up, I have backed up the bind, selected bind on boot but I still get the message bind has stopped working

using 0.2.0k.. thought the top one was the newest.. yep makes sense now.
[Galaxy S III General] Kobrax:
OK stopped getting the force close but data bind just dies bit stick

Upon exiting directory bind it disappears so when i go back in it is blank??

Hmm update now it is keeping the bind and have checked solid explorer and it is definitely on the ext SD card.

If the save button is greyed out when you open directory bind after successfully binding, is that OK? If I click the save button it goes red but the game starts fine and the data is stored on ext SD card

As all now seems to be OK.
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
You have to check bind on boot or it won't be there also in preferences make sure persistent service and alternate dbase management is ticked and handle usb connection isn't ticked

A thanks would be nice :D
[Galaxy S III General] ElAguila:
This is a great guide. I followed it but I am having an issue and I am not sure how to fix it. I am trying to move Asphalt 7. I select the folders and check transfer data. Then I press menu and select the data transfer assistant.It copies the files over for me. After it is done I press the back key to get to the main menu. Eventhough the data transfer was successful, there is nothing listed for me to check so that I can bind it. How do I get it to show up in the list? I am rooted and have granted su permissions to the app.
[Galaxy S III General] Kobrax:
Yeh I had check bind on boot ticked, USB unticked, the other two were not ticked though.

Strange though, van move dead space across and it stays listed and green

Eternal legacy by Gameloft though USA's listed but is grey when i try to check bund it goes red

Trying it again, unbinded/unticked it. Can't delete the bind from the list though

Tried delete but does nothing

How do you delete an entry from the list?
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
Go to where your game is in directory bind then press to unbind the game on the left then press and hold the file of the game until delete comes up then press delete and either send file back to location or just delete it from your extended sd.

Really not sure what you did wrong but you're definitely getting there

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Tick persistent service and bind on boot, this was just explained the person above you.
[Galaxy S III General] Kobrax:
Yeh that's what i did but just won't delete.

Saying that unchecked it and just did it again works fine. now i have one unchecked at top of list duplicated below,followed by a long list of others all is good.

Binding folders globally

Hi - I recently picked up my I9305, rooted it and then found this app - great looking app thank you :D I have some questions please..

Is it wise to bind the following folders globally instead of per app: DCIM, movies, video? :confused: are there any drawbacks to this? (the reason I ask is that I use multiple cameras and some of them do not have the option to change the storage folder).

Also, in the testing I've done I notice files are not moved from the phone storage, they're just copied to the DirectoryBind mirrored folder. I followed the OP instructions to the book.. :confused: could you point me in the right direction? (I have selected bind on boot and deselcetd handle usb connection)..
[Galaxy S III General] Madala_ZA:
Thanks - so if I bind DCIM, MUSIC, MOVIES, VIDEO would I be able to copy music, movies, photos etc. directly into the appropriate folder on the SD card and have it show up in the app (without changing the app's storage settings)? :confused:

Also, my other question: is it ok to bind the above-mentioned folders globally instead of per app? (see my reasoning in previous post).
[Galaxy S III General] XenomorphXx121:
After you put an extended sd in your phone it gives option of whether you want to put photos in either sd when you tske a picture

Videos can be watched from the extended you don't need to bind them just move them

Directory bind I just use for apps msinly games
