[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leventccc:
Hi, I bricked my n7 so badly. Here is what I did.

I accidentally flashed nakasig factory image on my wifi n7 from google factory images. It gave me a lots of errors.

I already had screen jamming issues when battery is < 5. Now my userdata partition is broken. I can't erase or format using recovery/fastboot. It always gives me errors. When I stay too much at recovery or bootloader it starts jamming. I can flash roms but it doesn't boots because of not working userdata partition and after waiting a while at boot animation. I can't turn my n7 on by just holding it for 2-3 seconds. I almost hold for 30-40 seconds everytime(Unless I choose reboot to recovery or reboot to bootloader from recovery or fastboot). Before people start saying flash the wifi factory image, yes I tried, even the 4.1.2 factory image. System partition gives me this error

sending 'system' (446268 KB)...
FAILED (status read failed (Unknown error)
finished. total time: 1.169s

I also found I can erase userdata partition after erasing system boot and cache it says ok but looks like its not working.

I can flash custom roms using sideloading but they don't boot.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tricky103:
Yeah it is unlocked but does havea bit of bloat on the stock ROM. That is easily fixed by flashing 4.1.2 .

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bonzai6:
As a recent convert from ios I am used to a rather simple method of backing things up. If i needed to restore my phone, replace the hardware, or upgrade to a new device I could just back up my current device and restore my information to the new one. That included apps and their individual data such as game saves. On android I haven't seen anything similar or as simple. I know thats because of the differences in the os from manufacturer to manufacturer. From what ive gathered Kies is crap. I have heard of Titanium Backup before but I don't know much about it. Does anyone recommend a backup and restore app/software that can help me manage my data/settings/game saves when i try new roms or have to reset my phone. Right now I need to reflash my phone because I'm having some problems, but I really don't want to have to reinstall all of my stuff again and go through all of my settings again. Not to mention I havent found a good way to backup my game saves.

The other question I have is if someone recommends a backup app and i install CM10 agian will I be able to restore all of my apps to cm10 becuase its 4.1 instead of 4.0. Does it affect the way the data is stored or how it is backed up?

thanks in advance for any responses.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyutah22:
If going from stock to a stock rom you can use clockwork mod recovery or twrp to make a nandroid and do advanced restore data only. If going from stock to AOSP or CM10 then you should use titanium to backup all apps and data and then use it to restore apps and data but not system apps or settings.

[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
Am I the only one who prefers hardware buttons? I see on-screen buttons as a waste of screen space. I mean, I suppose you could make a phone slightly shorter (or the screen longer for non-DNA phones) but I think they use that extra space to pack in more hardware / a bigger battery. If for example the DNA has software keys and the phone was that much shorter (so the screen was just below the bottom of the phone) not only would the phone have to be thicker, but imagine how uncomfortable it would be to hold the phone one handed and reach those keys.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Soft keys provide much more utility because they can be modified and changed on the fly.

Not so for hardware keys. The JB keyboard is a perfect example. The 'back' soft key on the Gnex changes to a downward arrow to hide the keyboard when in use. If it stayed as a back softkey, it would give an impression that it leaves the app or goes to a previous screen. When the keys aren't needed, such as in a video, they can be hidden.

Soft keys are the future, IMO.
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
Hmm well most companies, even big name corporations, do make mistakes quite often. The graphics designer and the inspector of the ad must take the fault, not Verizon itself.

[HTC Droid DNA] TickleMeHomo69:
Well IF HTC ever decides to go all software keys, I'm just going to use GMD Gesture app to assign home back search and menu as gestures and remove software keys because I don't want to loose screen real-estate.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I would worry more about legacy menus chewing up your screen real estate.
[HTC Droid DNA] leoingle:
couldnt agree with you more.
[HTC Droid DNA] flaring afro:
Back has always done this. I don't think that's confusing. And you can still customize hardware touch buttons, besides adding more of course. You can still make them do things with double taps and holding them. There always will be some sort of chin too for grip while held landscape, so they might as well be there to give you more screen space.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Back has always done what? Turned into a completely different icon to convey its intentions? I don't think so....unless on Nexus devices and JB.

You may be able to change hard key functions, but you cannot clarify their function by changing the icon/image. That is the problem.

Hard key function changes may be fine for us geeks, but the general public needs visual cues as well. They aren't going to understand that the button with a house on it does anything but go home. I'd wager a lot of them don't know about long presses either but that is a whole different can of worms again solvable by soft keys,

You could have soft keys change to a DIFFERENT image on long press, so to convey its function as well. Good luck doing that on capacitive keys.
[HTC Droid DNA] flaring afro:
I understand your point for other things but imo that example isn't confusing. I brought up the keyboard to type, now I want to undo that so I hit back. The screen keys don't help much in that sense either. Holding home for google now is a nice feature but isn't obvious unless someone reads the guide etc. Unfortunately smartphones are probably always going to be harder to learn than a PC due to their size and input restrictions. Though Windows 8 may prove me wrong lol

In My Case.

l success for binding android/data/com.xxxx.xxx

But when im binding android/obb/com.xxx.xxx

Its still asking donlod file..

How to fix it?
[Galaxy Note II General] tipsek:
I would advise that first when you install a game that has obb file, run it first and let it download data. Then go play it a few minutes.

Then exit the game, best reboot phone. Then go perform binding of the folder inside obb. Then reboot AGAIN.

Then go try game. This method has worked for me, for the following games requiring obb files:

Six Guns

Great Big War Game

Total War Battles

Also make sure your settings are EXACTLY like mine on beginning of post 1.

Could you write which game is causing you trouble? Maybe I can test it out to see if it works for me.
[Galaxy Note II General] uchox:
I was trying that too.

Game example NBA 2k13,iron fist,sonic 4,sonic cd,the avenger,

Almost game that data in android/obb cannot run well.

For Binding succes with the green disket,but when the game run,still asking donlot data.

Then i delete binding(transfer file back) it run smothly without donloding data.
[Galaxy Note II General] serpa4:
Thank you for the guide. I had tried everything I could to get this to work with no success. With your guide, worked first try.
[Galaxy Note II General] tipsek:
@uchox: sorry I don't have those games so I can't test. But it's weird, for me every game I tried works. I would recommend maybe unbinding everything, uninstalling directory bind, installing latest version from thread and going fresh. Follow my guide to the letter, it really should work. If it doesn't, it must be game specific, as for me every game even which use obb worked.

@serpa4: No problem. I had same issues, made the mistake of binding entire /obb and /Android subfolders. It broke my games and had me in all sorts of trouble. So with a little experimenting I found the solutions described in post 1 best to use. So I also wrote a guide, so that people new to this don't have to go through "testing phase" just follow my guide and done.:D
[Galaxy Note II General] ruffryder281:
On my Note 2 should i start target path as /sdcard/ even tho on my note 2 it starts with /sdcard0??
[Galaxy Note II General] tipsek:
@ruffryder281: if you open up a file manager like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer and navigate to root/mnt/ what folders do you see? Except asec, obb and those starting with Usb...

Do you see sdcard and extSdCard? Or sdcard0 and extSdCard? or all 3?

If you have sdcard and extSdCard set those.

If you have sdcard0 and extSdCard set those.

If you have all 3 check whats inside sdcard/ and what inside sdcard0/ and use the one that open internal SD.
[Galaxy Note II General] marvelspires:
friend could help me? will start at the part where the transfer of the file the notice that there is the directory you want to create, I put YES, but he asks again, and is in the loop, I'm putting it back to YES and ask the same thing again, checked the mnt paths in the names are right. Will I need to create the directory on my sdcardext manually.
[Galaxy Note II General] tipsek:
@marvelspires: Well this is weird, I never had that problem. For me it always asks to create folder I say yes and that's that. You could try creating a folder.. Are you using the latest version of DirectoryBind? Did you set everything as I said in the settings? Paths are set as described? (triple check). Have you managed to bind anything, or does this happen with everything, or better said, have you tried to bind only one specific thing, or did you try multiple?
[Galaxy Note II General] Ouzo:
Thanks tipsek. I've just moved my first three games successfully and now I'm about to try my sat nav maps :)

Can we continue to use Titanium backup normally, or do we have to unbind first? (I don't use Titanium to backup a game's data files, just the app itself). Sorry if that's a dumb question but I thought I better plan ahead.

Sorry, I just found the answer to my question here:

@tatschke89: Could you be more specific? What doesn't work? Give some details like what phone you have, ROM, are you rooted, which app/game (or everything) doesn't work and what exactly you mean by that. For me, it works for every game/app I tried and I have been using it for over a month now.

[Galaxy Note II General] KyleDevlin12:
God why did they ever remove the option to send stuff to the memory card *_____*
[Galaxy Note II General] spidermoon:
Works for AmazonPlayer too, but after all binding and moving are done, you don't see albums in device, even after reboot. You must use use "download" from cloud tab, it's very quick, AmazonPlayer won't download the entire album, but just update something, and you can now see the album in the device tab.
[Galaxy Note II General] vladeco:
I ended up binding the entire /sdcard/Android directory to /exSdCard/Android after a factory reset (clean slate - there was no data on that folder). Although the OP states it causes issues it never did for me. Probably the incompatibilities are created when moving the files from one card folder to the other: I suspect permissions / ownerships are set incorrectly / not carried over? I don't know, but at least for me it's not causing any issues whatsoever. My card is a SanDisk 64GB class 10 formatted as ExFat (in Mac OS X as it wouldn't read if I formatted it on the device).
[Galaxy Note II General] tipsek:
Well, I remember when moving entire Android/data and Android/obb folders that I had trouble with a few games that used Android/obb folder. They gave me errors and wanted to download their files again. Once I binded each seperately those issues were gone, that's why I recommended binding each directory seperately. If it works for you to bind entire Android directory without problems that's great. Also you started fresh maybe that's key here. I do wonder, have you tried installing for example one game that uses Android/data and Android/obb folders to store their extra files AFTER you binded the entire Android/ folder? What happens, do the files automatically download to externalSD and links are created on internal, or do the files download on internal and stay there, or do they move to externalSD?
[Galaxy Note II General] vladeco:
I have installed many games that download to the Android/Data and Android/obb AFTER I binded the directory. There's a few games from gameloft (Tintin, Gangstar Rio), a few from EA (NFS Most Wanted, The Sims Free play) and a few others (Dead Trigger, Hamlet).

They all automatically downloaded to the external SD card as if it was the internal SD. My internal SD has only 3.4GB used and it's all pictures / videos.

[Galaxy Note II General] PqRambo:
Works 100% - However I have the following questions:

Hello!

First of all I would like to thank the topic.

I have the Samsung Galaxy 2 GT-N7100 Note 16GB - version 4.1.2 N7100XXDLK7 (N7100XXDLL7) STOCK ROM rooted.

I used this guide and now I can have the internal memory with 6.5 GB free.

Until now I had no problem with Note 2.

Works 100%

However I have the following questions:

1 - Can I continue to make updates to the ROM if they leave?

2 - I have to do unrooted first to make the update?

3 - Will I lose the settings of Directory Bind?

4 - I have to re-install the Games and Apps moved by Directory Bind to the ext SD Card?

Basically my doubt is if I lose all the work I had to stay with the internal memory free, and I have to repeat the whole process, and download all the games and apps again.

Again thanks for the topic, it works 100% and is very well done.

[Galaxy Note II General] tipsek:
@lossovidiu: It should work, just be sure toset your target and data paths according to your device.

@Mk.Xal: You got it to work on 4.2.1 or on 4.1.2? I ask because there have been problems on 4.2.1 so I wonder if it was a typo or you actually got it to work on 4.2.1.

@PqRambo: Sorry I don't know the answers so instead of guessing them for you I think it's better if you ask in the original guide thread for SIII or thread of the app itself. Link to both threads is in the OP.
[Galaxy Note II General] Mk.Xal:
Work fine on 4.2.1 mate.

I have about 15 games binded to external SD and Google Music Cache too.

There are some games that seem to be invisible, and you can't find them in data or obb. Has anyone been able to figure that out in this post. I've been using bind for awhile on 4.1.2 and have asked in the original post, with a few others and I don't believe anyone has ever figured it out. I use /storage/extSdCard/ instead of mnt/extSdCard and had always worked for me on my T-Mobile Note 2.

Could you bind the entire directory and just unbind (reverse bind) the directories of games/apps that fail? I have something like 240 apps so it would take me forever to do them all, plus some of them are only a few mb in size and hardly worth it individually.

HI, I can confirm it works on Note 2 (Indian Rom). However, after binding, the "Device Status" under Settings>About Device> Status shows "modified". This disables Online Firmware Update checking.

How can one install this app and yet have Normal device status so that online firmware updates dont get disabled.
