Basically, it works. Crashes from time to time, but still works. Till it doesn't.
And I don't really know what to do: I need to move my Spotify cache ; link2sd and consorts don't do it.

I'm trying an init.d script, but i'm not so good at it :(


Any ideas ?

I tried this app with my sgs and Spotify, but couldn't get it to work. It did work in other apps, so it might be Spotify binding its directories at every launch or something, I don't really know.

Anyone figure out how to move Bard's Tale with Directory Bind?

So, I have my galaxy tab 2 rooted, with directory bind installed.
I have a decent command of how directory bind works, and have moved a handful of apps successfully.

My question out there to anyone who has done it... how the heck can you move Bard's Tale?

The essential problem with it is that I've found the directory (.inexile etc. etc. etc.) but the two subfolders have neither additional folders, OR files, so directory bind doesn't actually move anything.

Seeing as how huge Bard's Tale is, It doesn't make sense... it's gotta be somewhere?
Or... is it hidden, and if so, how to unhide the files to make them bound?

Anyone know?

Just using [ROOT] FolderMount

Hi .! guys just downloaded [ROOT] FolderMount the best free app ever ... you can move your all files to ext SDcard and even revert it back inner SD .. interface of this app is super easy and it just need rooted note 2

tip: Bind Mount makes Duplicate Files in system .. always and not safe though with media sync ...

cheers

    Hey Frank,I can't find in the market?:confused:

    It's an xda app:

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

    Some notes:
    1) First: Go into settings -> default data path and change it to: /mnt/extSdCard/
    It is currently the old ICS directory of /sdcard/external_sdcard


    2) Simple Instructions:

    First, find a big directory with your data.
    Run DiskUage, select 'Storage Card'. Note the directory pattern, i.e. Android/data/com.ea.deadspace_na

    Menu -> add new entry
    Menu -> data transfer assistant
    Find the directory you used above.
    Hit 'Add'.

    Hit the disk to activate the mount. It should turn green.

    Now rerun DiskUsage.
    A) You should see a new 'disk' which corresponds to the directory you just moved.
    B) Check 'Storage Card'. You probably need to 'Rescan'. You should have more memory now.

    Now try playing the game or whatever you just moved.

    Hey Everyone,

    I recently discovered the wonderful program 'Directory Bind' which basically lets you redirect a directory from /sdcard to somewhere else.
    (i.e. you external memory card!) This is fantastic since some games (Like Bard's Tale) consume a gig of /sdcard space and apps2sd doesn't work.

    I also discovered that 'sd tools', whch allows you to test read/write to a directory allows specifying any directory, so can select a directory in /sdcard and test the internal memory speeds.

    I noticed, for my Lexar Class 10 card (LSDMI32GBSBNAR), I got 10 MB/s write, and 20 MB/s read.
    For my Note 1, the internal memory has only 5.4 MB/s write, but 47 MB/s read (!!!!)

    I am now very curious how the memory speeds of the Note 2 are, and also what the speed of the SD interface of the Note 2 is.
    But it's nice to get confirmation that games/whatever should load considerably faster if you keep them on internal memory.

    By the way, I highly recommend, before doing a nandroid/CM backup, to turn off the binds.
    Since the data is already on your external card, there's not much point in backing it up again.

    Not to mention: if you do a restore you might exceed your internal memory.

    - Frank

    Need not actually, this app is doing the bind only after boot complete, mount -o bind,rw target newpath. In cwm you will not see this bind because it doesn't exists in the recovery fstab...

    Hello there

    Is there any application besides Directory Bind that does the same operations in a more user-friendly way? :)
    Thanks a lot

    This app is the most user friendly. Unless you load your own shell script from init.d...:D
