I've just used the directory bind on my samsung galaxy s3. I followed the procedure that've been written in the first page, to move several obb game files to EXT Sdcard. At first, it worked well. But, after rebooting, my game keep asking to download game file, seems like it doesn't recognize that the file have been moved to ext sdcard. I've checked bind on boot too. How to solve this?
[Galaxy S III General] tezukaryoma:
direct bind only support fat32 card?
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Selected bind on boot option? If so Check if you are using any

app that kills apps on boot.

AFAIK its not file system dependent, as long as the card is readable it should work

cool. thanx 4 the answer bala_gamer.
[Galaxy S III General] coolgids:
im not using any apps that kill apps on boot and checked the "bind on boot" already. but after i reboot i can't open the apps (like it doesn't recognize the data). So, I try to open the directory bind, and i found that there are no data. I try restore database again to make the selected folder (that i already selected before reboot) to re-appear.

need some help here
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
check the auto start of apps after boot, that should be the issue. IF your device auto starts apps hen you would get some toast msg from directory bind after rebbot

Hi Bala

You are awsome.

I have a N8000 with 64GB Ext SD. But same issues like SIII

Do you have a separate guide for N8000?

I am running Samsung Germany Stock rom 4.1.2 with CWM Root.

Unable to use Ext SD using http://xdaforums.com/show...5#post35868045

So pl help me with steps for my N8000

Thanks in adv

PS: N8000 My files shows the Storage as below :-

storage/sdcard0

storage/extSdCard

So how do I config the 'data txfer asst' & default paths?

Should it be:-

Change the default data path to

Code:

/storage/extSdCard/

Change the default target path to

Code:

/storage/sdcard0/
[Galaxy S III General] pat357:
Yes, this is correct.

[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
did you tried running the game before and after the bind? if the game runs before binding most probably it should run after the bind too./

After i bind everything it moves them all to the sd card and the space on sd lowers but the space on the phone stays the same,

[Galaxy S III General] clive48:
Same here...I am having N8000. When I bnd, Post bind the Internal SD data remains same but files get txfered to Ext SD also.

Games Run, But If I delete Int SD files then he games dont run.

SO Ext SD is not being detected by games.

I have seen that using Quickoffice Pro, I can open files only from Int SD. Ext SD is not even seen by the QO.

SO I feel that Samsung has made some changes in JB 4.x for N8000 which disables Ext SD view by apps. So we need a SOlution to enable Ext SD first. Then Dir bind will work.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
its been said again and again, once data is moved to external sd only the shortcut of the data resides in internal which shows the size of whole data but actually it wont consume space on internal

[Galaxy S III General] Zamphire:
I'm trying to move my Google Play music to my external SD card using Directory bind. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 running 4.1.1 official release.

I set up Directory bind just like you said in the first post.

Music cache is stored at /data/data/com.google.android.music/ for google play. I created a folder on my external called MusicCache.

I opened directory bind, clicked Add New Entry, entered "/mnt/extSdCard/MusicCache" for data and "/data/data/com.google.anroid.music/" for target (I had to turn on "Bypass path verification" to get it to accept /data/data folders.) And it all worked great. I opened up Google Play, checked internal space and it registers that I have 14gb free (It's a 16GB SD card.) So I download all my music.

Here's where the problems start. When I restarted my phone the bind seems to be lost. Google Play no longer shows the available space of my SD card but rather the internal memory. When I launch Directory Bind it no longer has the bind listed, as if I never did it. When I try to rebind I get a red floppy disk icon instead of the green one showing it works. How do I fix this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] kay9jay:
Data/data is usually moved to a separate sdext partition on sdcard... it functions differently than the android folder. You could google for apps2sd or an sdext script...
[Galaxy S III General] Zamphire:
I googled Apps 2 SD and it says it doesn't support Galaxy S3.

I'm not sure I really understand the rest of your comment. I'm fairly new to all this so forgive me.

Using context clues though it sounds like you're saying that what I did shouldn't work. However it did work. The directory bind worked great until I restarted the phone. That seemed to break it for some reason.
[Galaxy S III General] kay9jay:
It could be due to a couple of reasons. Usually directory bind should relink the 2 directories on boot. But this is different because youre moving data/data. Try looking for a sdext script maybe? Most custom roms have sdext included... but s3 has a lot of room....
[Galaxy S III General] stigdu:
I've tried moving a game called SpiritHD using Directory Bind, but even though I followed everything in the first post, there was no progress bar when I clicked on 'Add' and then when I clicked on 'Bind checked' (which I assume shows you successful transfers of data), it is completely empty, so I don't think it did anything.

I am running it on an S3 9305 with Ripper ROM v7 (jellybean 4.1.2), so wondered if it might be incompatible with my phone.
[Galaxy S III General] deepgrass:
I have the same problem, the bind list is empty after phone restart. When I try to rebind it again, it doesn't work as showing red icon. The game can no longer find the path.

Solution: After reading the main thead, here is what works for me.

1) Make sure "Bind on Boot" , "Alternate dbase mgmt" and "Persistent Service" are all checked.

2) on main menu, click "Bind checked" and you get green disk icon

3) More > Backup database

this should fix the problem.

If you rebind the same folder you need to remove the 0 at the end of the source data path

from

/mnt/extSdCard/DirectoryBind/obb0/

to

/mnt/extSdCard/DirectoryBind/obb/
[Galaxy S III General] botoson:
Hi

I am confused and dont know if it is working or not. I'm using my Nexus 7 tablet.

First do I install a game first? The gam has 1.5gig data.

Second I have installed the directory app. In the first box. Do I select and create a folder in my tablet drive or extanal drive?

Third is the 2nd box a location where I want the data be stored?

Really confused here and hope someone can help me out.

Thanks

[Galaxy S III General] dcdgoth:
for me, it's the rom that doesn't stick directory bind. if anyone who's experiencing 'not sticking' issue after reboot, you can always freeze directory bind with titanium backup and reboot your phone, and unfreeze it after reboot. this works like a charm!
[Galaxy S III General] Note_2:
I moved my data files for gta 3 and under my directorybind folder on the extsd, it has the data. The problem Is that the data is still in it's original location too, so it's still taking up my sd card space. Please help, thanks
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
its just a shortcut in internal sd, if you moved your data successfully to sdcard then you do not need to worry about it

hi every ones,

Any chances that we can have a guide for making it happend on CM 10.1?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
With latest cm10.1? AFAIK all you need to figure out is the new mount paths and set in preference /source. It should work.

[Galaxy S III General] ejo4041:
Is there a way to actually move files from the src to destination? For example: I have a custom camera app, I want to take pictures, transfer them to the SD card, then delete the original files so that the internal memory does not fill up. The directory bind is close to what I am looking for, maybe I just need to write my own mv service.
[Galaxy S III General] ejo4041:
Maybe this is just a problem with the Samsung Galaxy Camera. For some reason there is no /sdcard/external-sd/. There is a /sdcard/extSdCard/, but it is not the actual sd card, still internal memory. Maybe this has something to do with the mounting. Before I had where my pictures were saving as the (data) path and when I wanted them to go as the (target) path. This time I tried the other way around. I was trying /storage/sdcard0/appname as (target) and /storage/extSdCard/appname as (data). I was getting some popup which dissappeared too quickly, which I tracked down in the code to mean that it did not start with "sdcard" even though I turned off the verification stuff. Anyways, still not working on the galaxy camera.
[Galaxy S III General] ejo4041:
Never mind, figured it out for the Samsung Galaxy Camera.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
So does galaxy camera has different directory path?

[Galaxy S III General] epicurean:
Does anyone know the rights paths in CM 10.1 for this app to work? Please share. Thanks very much
[Galaxy S III General] ejo4041:
Yes, it does. The actual SD card is in /storage/extSdCard/. The /sdcard/ is internal memory on the SGC. Unfortunately, you cannot bind to the /storage/extSdCard/, I tried everything.

I ended up using root to cp the file to the /storage/extSdCard/ and then rm the original file, which was in /storage/sdcard0/appname/ (also not the actual sd card). I just hard coded those commands into my app for now.
[Galaxy S III General] dgcruzing:
Hi boys and girls..

Just a little warning..

Don't try this when tired

Or when you are unsure

Or when you haven't backed up your sdcard..

I tried last night and probably didn't do it right, even through I read the directions and I watched a YouTube video.. Tried to bind my Evernote directory to my sdcard. For some reason it copied all of the sdcard into the Evernote directory..on the sdcard... Thus I thought I was looking at a duplicate of everything..

Then as I was tired, I tried to delete all the sub-directories it had made under Evernote .. But I didn't check to see if it had actually moved everything or only copied, which it had.. Thus by deleting all the sub-directories, I deleted everything on the sdcard apart from the Evernote directory.

My bad..

Will be back to give it another go..

As apps2sd or in this case..app binding is a necessary tool to have going on the S3,s.

Just wondered if anyone has any thoughts
[Galaxy S III General] flightofthedunes:
I just flashed carbonrom to my galaxy s3 and now directory bind isn't functioning properly. It worked just fine with the stock rom. However, now the files won't stay bound. When I reboot my phone the auto-binding message pops up. I go into directory bind everything is green, but when I close out of the program and go back into it the save icons are grey and only the check boxes are green. I've tried hitting bind check, and the save icons light up until leave the application and then go back to grey.

The paths are correct since I used titanium backup and restored everything.

I tried creating a new entry, which worked originally. The files were transferred but if I download new files to the internal the data doesn't show up in my external.

I have everything checked properly in preferences; bind on boot, alert on unbind fail, alternate dbase mgmt, and persistent service.

Is this a bug with this particular rom? I can't find anything in the forums concerning this particular issue. Should I try switching to a different rom?
[Galaxy S III General] cjm2576:
So after following these instructions on my Note 2 everything worked perfectly. NFS and Asphalt 7's graphics assets were moved to my SD card and ran fine. At some point during the day tho the configuration of Director Bind got lost and now my bindings are gone. I've since rebooted the phone and the mount points are gone too.

I tried to re-create the bindings but it appears to be failing. The icons turn blue when I select Bind checked.

I looked in the LOGCAT dump and I'm receiving the error:

"Delayed mount NOT READY ..."

Any thoughts?

Edit: Creating a new mount point works fine. It's just recreating the old ones that is failing.
[Galaxy S III General] kartikb:
it seems directory bind isn't working on I9300XXUFMB3, 4.2.1 leaked firmware. tried several times with recreating mount points but a no go. it was working fine when I was 4.1.2 firmware. Has anyone else had a go at this, if so any feedback would be great to get this working again...
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Heard this app is having issues with 4.2.1 roms, may be it's not fixed yet

[Galaxy S III General] DualJoe:
The problem is the new 4.2.x multi-user environment. It abstracts the 'mount' command. It is only valid for the active UID/process (not system-wide). I'm not sure how they will fix it in the future...

Updating applications

Hello everyone! Directory bind has been working flawlessly on my GS3. I have two questions to ask:

1.) I was wondering how will I update an application thru the playstore that has already been binded? Do I need to unbind the app and then update?

2.) How do I uninstall apps that have been binded? Do I also need to unbind then uninstall?

Thank you!

Directory Bind - Copying the files intead of Moving

Hello Everyone,

I am using Samsung Galaxy Grand gt-i9082, and i have setup bind, say from S:/sdcard/CallRecorder/ to T:/storage/extSdCard/CallRecorder/.

its working as when i records a call, i can find the recorded file on extSdCard as well as on sdcard but Directory bind is keeping files in both directories, like it is copying files from S to T. i just want the file in T and get deleted from S.

Help me with this issue please

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III General] pat357:
Although it looks that they are on S and T, they are infact only present (and taking up space) on T.

What is on S are just links (imagine it as advanced shortcuts).

You can try this if you don't befief me : remove a file from T (just put it somewhere else) ; you'll see the file is also gone in S !!

So, to summerize, what you see is normal (both on S and T), but the files take up no space at all (a few bytes) on S.

The files are in reality only present on T.

Do not worry about it : directory bind is doing it's work and saves spaces on S !!
