A quick look here provides the answer:

!!! IF YOU HAVE ISSUE WITH ENTRIES DISAPPEARING AFTER REBOOT !!!

1. In preferences check "alternate dbase mgmt" and try again

2. Report in this thread with informations

- does "alternate dbase mgmt" help ?

- are you using any taskkiller

- what ROM are you using

I used it differently . . .

I'm still using the internal sd card for apps. I need to link a folder in the "sdcard" folder, to the external so i can could use the storage through that link. The program wouldn't let me access /storage/extSdCard/ so instead, I created a folder "ext" in the /sdcard/ext/ so that I can use the 32 gb stoarge of the card. The camera still saves pics to: /storage/extSdcard/ still w/ no problem. Thanks for helping w/ the program :)

Untill we can get Ext4 External SD cards working Directory bind should work well.

It used to work seemlessly on my SGS3(9300). However, I am unsure if it would work on my SGS4(9500). Should I try it? Has anyone had any luck with it?
[Galaxy S III General] ahac85:
sorry im not sure if i can phrase this exactly right, what i want is all my data that gets on the internal sd to be moved to external sd, i dnt wish to pick and choose certain folders, i just want everything to go on external sd, is this possible?? and also does this work on exfat cards or will i have to format??
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
In this case you're losing 11 GB of storage. Hadn't you may aswell use mattadj's internal 2 external sd card swapping script?
[Galaxy S III General] ahac85:
Thanks, but I'm wanting 2 know if I can do this with directory bind, I'm currently using that script. But I want to know if I can do with the app aswell

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
It holds no benefit. In fact neither the script or the app will work in 4.2 so I wouldn't bother switching if I were you. I never tried to do it personally so not sure if it will or not.
[Galaxy S III General] Ishan Sardar:
I've got a question..suppose I've linked some games from sdcard/data/obb to extSdCard/DirectoryBind/Obb (which i think is the default settings). When I do the linking directorybind then copy my files to externalsd card. Now when I need to move the games I select the obb folder and all the games in it gets moved/linked to external card....what if I want to put more games in it later on? wouldn't directorybind also starts to copy the existing games too? cuz I'm gonna have to select the obb folder again isn't it? I can't just select the folder of game data files from obb cuz then it wudn't work wud it?
[Galaxy S III General] Glebun:
after you bind it, all data that goes into data/obb is actually going to the external sd

N7105 problems

I have Note2 lte version. Rooted, running IllusionRom 4.2.2.

It doesn't matter if i bind files from obb or data, the apps won't work. The phone does not understand the bindings. Directory bind shows that everything should be fine, the disk logo is green, bind is checked. The files are moved to extSD, paths are identical..but none of the apps launch, they start to download the missing files immediately after launch.

Any ideas?

I've used this software with my SGS2 and everything worked flawlessly.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Google changed how 3rd party apps mount. You cannot use directory bind in 4.2

Look up foldermount
[Galaxy S III General] VelliKulho:
Thanks for fast reply. Somehow suspected something like that. Happy though since i was going mad changing the bindings back and forth. Thanks.

..And the foldermount works like charm!

[Galaxy S III General] Petesky:
If you mean Sygic then foldermount works well for me on 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III General] 80000037:
What version of sygic did u use?

Version 13 already moveable to ext.sd without any app/settings.

Just install the app and download the base files and maps that u need. After finished, move "Sygic" folder from internal SD to external SD using any file manager. When u run the app, it will automatically find the "Sygic" folder in external SD.

An other way to use Directory Bin on android 4.1.2

Hello All,

This is an other way to use Directory Bin on Android 4.1.2

1.Root your phone

2.install Directory Bin

3.open Directory Bin Application

4.select configuration and change the défault (Target and Source) like this :

S:/storage/extSdCard/

T:/sdcard/

its works fine in my tablet's Galaxy SM T210 7.0 (4.1.2) :good:

Good Luk every body ! :cowboy:

I take you my no good experience.

I downloaded 0.2.0o version.

I had only about free 500Mb in internal sd of my device in signature and i had/have Camscanner, Aura and Aptoide directories. I followed the guide but now i still have Camscanner and Aptoide files both in internal and external sd even if i think that i lost something.

Now for Aura navigator i have only a file both in internal and external sd.

When i try to download a map's Aura Sygic about 450Mb size the program pop up me that i need 930 Mb and i have only 850Mb free.

Probably because does Aura need to install something else?

However despite the item results as in attached pic i still have same files in Camscanner and Aptoide apps both in internal and external sd.

How can i use rightly?

Games not playing

Hi Folks,

Need help.

I have installed Directory Bind and have binded files from internal memory obb to external SD card. I have done this for two of the games. Getting green color icon upon checking for Bind. Files are moved to external SD card correctly but the games are not playing.

For one of the games it asked me to download data from internet. After connecting to internet it doesn’t seem to download data but checked for the required files and says ‘game starting’ but game does not start.

I am running Cyanogenmod 4.4.4 in my Galaxy S3 I9300.

Please let me know what can be done to correct this.
[Galaxy S III General] LEARNTOEARN:
This is a very old thread i know and the author may not respond. But what's the point when the space on storage is also taken meanwhile in the SD card. This is supposed to move the data to SD card not to keep it on both storage and SD card. Any explanation here or am I just not understanding it? I followed everything. And also, I am on Samsung Galaxy SII GT1900

Obb folder not working for me. Using ICS LH1
[Galaxy S III General] FallenOut:
i use a software called guiformat found from the net

its free

i use it to format my 64gb to fat32

but if u want to fix the card without formating it

u can move out the games you have binded to the memory card to your pc

once the games files is gone

the phone will detect back the card

for now

64gb card needs to be used with fat32 system

its working for me

just make sure there are no spaces between the files

example

asphalt 7 is wrong

asphalt7 is correct

no spaces in the file/ directory name

Hi can i delete the transfered files'from'previous location, for example i justntransfered from data android to external sd card, and i wamt to know if i cam now delete the files that were copied from data android. Thank you

QUOTE=bala_gamer;31620183]We all know about this tool

"directory bind"

This tool is much required for s3 as we dont have the option to move an app to sd card. Making this guide for people who are having trouble configuring/using "directory bind" on s3.

Steps:

1. Install directory bind.

2. goto app preferences

Change the default data path to

/mnt/extSdCard/

Change the default target path to

/sdcard/

3. Select "add new entry" and press the menu key , you will get an option called "data transfer assistant" . Select it.

4. Now select the source "data" folder to be moved.

5. Once the files are transferred to the new location select "bind checked" option in the app menu.

6. job done.

Below is the pictorial example of moving "Asphalt 7 " sd card data to external sd :)

the source directory for this game is located in "mnt/sdcard/android/obb"

the above directory is binded to "mnt/extSdCard/Directorybind/obb"

tips:

* select "bind on boot" in preference to keep the binding after reboot

* you can backup your current binding settings , by default the file is stored in "/sdcard" as csv file.

* uncheck "handles usb connection" in preference if you dont want to disturb your binding when connecting/disconnecting usb.[/QUOTE]
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
^^

no need to delete.. thh selected folder data will be moved automatically to the new location.

edit your post... you have quoted the full op ;)

Binding Problems on S3 i9300

Hi, i wondered if you can help with a problem I have. My main aim is to bind my torrents download data folder to my external sd.

Wohoo ! Nice Tool ... just tried it with my Nexus 7 - and what can i say - now i can install nearly all big games on the Nexus ... no more memory limit on obb directory - it is now going directly to usbstick with stickmount .... 8)

I also tried to bind to a CIFS Share in home WLAN - but i didn't get write permission ... 8( ...

CIFS Mananger - CIFS Share goes to /mnt/cifs/obb which is directed to my PC share ... but Google Play only get's read access.

Games are working fine - but new games can not copy files to cifs mount ...8(

So first step finished - obb redirected to USBSTICK on Nexus 7 - freeing up 7 GB for now ...8)

Good to see yet again another useful thread from you.

Can you tell me specifically what is causing 64GB card error, which prevents the S 3 to mount it. What's quickiest way to fix it, without reformatting it?

It appears to happen from time to time, especially after S 3 is rebooted.

Thanks, it's been very frustrating to have my 64GB card not able to mount, quite often.
[Galaxy S III General] FallenOut:
the thing that is causin problems to the 64gb is the filesystem exfat

the quickest way to fix

move the files tat are binded by directory bind to ur pc

move not copy

i hav as of now moved more than 20 games to my memory card

Hello, I have a problem.

I moved before everything to external SD correctly, but now when I want to install new game, at first its installing to internal memory it writes me that I have not enough free space, but my internal memory is over 9GB free.

I previously moved approximate those 9GB to external SD, but my phone is thinking that the internal memory is full despite showing the free space.

I think its caused with Directory Bind...?

Any ideas about that issue? Would be very appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Try un binding before starting the installation, thus you can know whether it's caused by directory bind

[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:

[Galaxy S III General] WhoDunnit:
Another problem... Although this is a great tool, there is one annoying bug for my setup. (Using Galaxy S3, DirectoryBind 0.2.0o with alternate dbase mgmt) I find that after using DirectoryBind for a number of games installed originally in --say-- /sdcard/Android/data/com.blabla.bla and DirectoryBound to /mnt/extSdcard/DirectoryBind/com.blabla.bla that if I then install a new game, then I find that in all directories bound by DirectoryBind there are extra directories Android/data created (for example /sdcard/Android/data/com.blabla.bla/Android/data now exists).

What's more, I find that com.ea.game.realracing2 is installed into one of those nested Android/data dirs.

Anyone experienced this and solved it?
