[TOOL] DirectoryBind - move data to external_sd (GameLoft, Shadowgun etc.) ROOT req.

Hi all !
This is my application to bind directories located on external_sd to directories on internal memory (/sdcard/). This way You can transfer large application data directories to external_sd. Could be usefull with ex.: games from Gameloft, other like Shadowgun, applications like CamScanner.

Features:
* Requires ROOT !
* Aimed at specific functionality and features (not idiot-proof)
* You can create any number of Data -> Target directory pairs, mount them manually or choose to mount them on system boot (checkbox does that).
* On/Off switch controls whole mount-on-boot function.
* Diskette icon indicates if mount operation was successful, by taping it You can mount/umount entry.
* Icon changes if application is using mounted entry
* DirectoryBind can tell what application is using this entry (tap at entry in use)
* Long tap on entry (disabled) brings edit/delete window
* App auto umount all entries on USB connected and remount after USB disconnected (for now via BroadcardReceiver UMS_CONNECTED / UMS_DISCONNECTED)
* App shows notification and vibrates if auto umount on USB fails
* If mounting all checked entries (ex. on boot) app is waiting specified time (def. 60 sec) if data directory is not available (happens sometimes at boot)
* Tested sucessfully with Asphalt 6, Shadowgun, DeadSpace, CamScanner
Color statuses:
* GRAY - entry disabled
* RED - mount failed
* BLUE - waiting for data availability
* GREEN - mounted OK
version 0.2.0k
* fixed FC if screen orientation changes during copy/delete
* more extensive logging
version 0.2.0m
* ?? fixed problem with entries marked green on boot, but not mounted (repotred by stone_ship)
* ?? fixed problem with random FC on ICS (reported by Thomas)
version 0.2.0n
* auto create target directory action moved from "bind" action to "add/edit entry" action due to possible problems when data outside "/sdcard"
version 0.2.0o
* added option to control if mount service is run as sticky
*** for now older version kept in case I broke something ***
please do not test data transfer files features on sensitive data they seem to work OK but are not throughly tested
Compiled using API android 2.3.3. Attached as self-signed development apk package. No market link for now.
important info
* Remember ! All entries must be umounted before attempting to use MASS STORAGE MODE. Application will try to do it automatically on USB CONNECT. If it fails and You'll use MASS STORAGE MODE sdcard partition WILL CRASH and reboot will be required to restore normal operations ! Main cause of that is appplication using mounted folder. You have to close that application and retry to umount entry.
* This application requires *root privileges* so it has full control over entire system! Uses root privileges to invoke "mount", "umount", "lsof" and "grep" shell commands via su and it DOES NOT write anything on system partitions.
It DOES NOT apply any permanent changes to the OS, however I cannot guarantee it does not contain BUGS and security issues. I'm not responsible to any damage it can cause. Use it AT YOUT OWN RISK !
application permissions explained
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - application automatically creates target path, copy existing files from target to data
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - application can perform automatic bind on boot
VIBRATE - application creates notification alert with vibrations when cannot umount all locations on USB connect
READ_LOGS - dump own logcat to file
*ROOT* - invoking "mount", "umount", "lsof" and "grep" commands via su
BUGS REPORTING
As every program can contain bugs so this one too. I'm very grateful if someone find and report a bug. No report will go unattended and I'll look into each case. There is just one thing, often report even very detailed is not enough so application has built in logging (logcat) capability - it can be enabled in Preferences.
Logcat can be dumped to file from main app window: menu -> dump logcat to file
So when reporting bug please attach that file to Your post

!!! 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 need to know how many people have this issue, maybe it would be good to make "alternate dbase mgmt" default mechanism.
Sorry for that but I'm still learning and doing by best to make this app as much compatible and usable as possible. This is my first public app for android

Moved to "Themes and Apps" section.

Great Tool - but a bit too restrictive
Hi Slig,
I was just scanning the net for such a tool. Alread startet to write my on mounting script and using tasker to swich it on or off. But your tool is much more comfortable. (As a newbi I haven't got it right to unmount a binded directory - always got an error from script manager, maybe someone can explain this as well .. )
I just have an urgent question: I am using a SGSII (that sounds good) and the cyanogenmod 7. And here starts the problem: This mod is not mounting the external SD Card to /sdcard/external_sd.
So I want to mount /mnt/emmc/ to /sdcard/external_sd and some other things like the Gameloft folders as you did etc.
But I always get error "enter valid source directory" - probably because of your limitation to start every dir with /sdcard - so, can you implement an option for advanced users to turn this off?
Otherwise this tool can not be used by myself - which would be a pitty.
Kind regards and thank for the good job - even if it doesn't work with my configuration.
ret-law

I'll post next version with Your suggestions. There is one more problem I have to correct, sometimes mount on boot fails. Look like external sd card is not ready when app tries to bind. I'm on it now.

looks promising keep up the great job dude

Added version 0.1.3m. I'll add some more configuration options in next releases. Of course it is still in pre-pre-alpha state.

Just what i needed seems to be working perfectly so far. Great app mate, thanks.

Thank you!!!!
Finally I found a good app to move the data of gameloft games, thank you very much, great job!!!!!

Added another update - now appliction indicates by icon in list if entry is in use by some other application (requires busybox).

Another update Added preferences window, now several options are configurable plus some minor fixes and improvements.

This just keeps getting better, thanks slig. Gameloft and copilot moved so far. Gave me 5gb back

+ 1

Hey slig, any chance of an option to edit an entry on long press (along side delete) and an option to set the default paths. I.e I have mine in /sdcard/external_sd/sd-binds so it would save me from typing sd-binds/ each time.
Thanks for your time

OK, I'll add this in next release.

Thanks slig, appreciate it

Hi all !
New version posted. App has grown a little. Any bug reports appreciated
And HAPPY NEW YEAR
Regards !

Thanks again and cheers happy new year too. Just downloaded 0.1.7g
Edit: works great, just renamed my entries and changed default path and created new entry , nice one!

Is there auto recognize
( auto mount and dismount ) while usb mass storage connected or disconected

Added next version. This one introduces directory browser so no more need to manually enter path.

Click to expand...

Yes, but application detects usb cable connect event (not enter mass storage mode) so all dismounts are performed on USB connect. Warning is displayed if application fails (read 1st post for more details).

Directory browser addition is bloody cool slig

[APP][v1.8 (+US)] SGS3 Easy UMS - Mount external microSD card as USB mass storage

This app will make the external (not the internal!) microSD card of your Samsung Galaxy S3 (International, US versions, International LTE) available as USB mass storage device.

Thanks d4fseeker :good:
:angel: If you like the app, please consider donating by buying this app or via PayPal (see link on the left, below username etc.) :good: Some people gave 1 star reviews to the app although I think I'm extremely clear with stating that this is only a donation app - but I can't change that

I can only test it on my own GT-I9300; please report back your success with the information needed in the table above.
If you have a custom kernel, you have to make sure there is one of the three possible lun files available (see Problems section).
Regarding US versions: Starting with 1.4beta, it also works with US versions (see here). This may not be the case for all variants, so please report back with the information needed in the compability table.
Problems? Not working?
Report the exact problem, model/ROM/kernel/etc., the exact error message and the results of the following commands (use Terminal Emulator or something similar):
Code:
mount
ls /sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun0/file
ls /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun_ex/file
ls /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file
mount | sed 's/ on / /g' | grep extSdCard | cut -f 1 -d ' '
Note: Only ONE of the three ls commands must be successful (file exists)
You may need to replace "extSdCard" in the last command with the mount point name of your external sd card (e.g. external_sd or sdcard1 for CM10)
If the last command does fail, there is probably something wrong with your BusyBox installation. You should reinstall it - I recommend this app.
On some Win7 PCs, these steps may be needed:
Now follow these steps:
1. On your Windows 7 computer you will see it will try to install “SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device” as one of the drivers and fail *this is normal*
2. Go into Device Manager on your computer, right click “SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device” and select “Properties”
3. Click on the “Driver” tab and click the “Update Driver” button, a prompt will then come up
4. Select “Browse my computer for driver software”, then select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer” on the next screen
5. Select “USB Mass Storage Device” as the new driver from that list and finish up that install
6. At the end you will see something like this on your computer – Screenshot Here
7. Windows will install final drivers automatically and a new “Disk drive” will show up on your computer, this is your external SD card on your device
Keep in mind that it is not possible to get access to the internal storage as USB mass storage device.

Get the "extSdCard is being accessed by [...]" message? Wait until the app accessing the sd card has finished, stop it yourself or reboot.
Changelog
Code:
1.8
- added support for third lun file, should work with GT-I9305 (Intl LTE version) now
1.7
- fixed recognition failure if "mount" output contained "on" as the second column (e.g. Siyah kernels)
1.6
- fixed code so that it (hopefully!) works with recent CM10 versions again
- made some error messages clearer
- drop of "beta" name doesn't actually mean much by the way, but I think it looks a bit cleaner this way and does not make a difference
1.5beta
- added support for CM10 sd card paths (/mnt/external_sd and /mnt/sdcard1)
1.4beta
- added alternative method for users without s3c-usbgadget (may work on US versions)
v1.3beta
- rewrote the whole logic
- now opens Play Store entry of BusyBox if it is not yet installed
- notifies user if device seems to lack s3c-usbgadget module
- notifies user which apps are accessing the extSdCard
- generally better and more precise error messages
v1.2beta2
- added info about busybox requirement (maybe this will be removed later)
- added link to donation app
v1.2beta
- Automatically tries to unmount extSdCard before starting UMS mode. This will fail if some app is accessing it, so just wait or cancel that app if you know it and try again - possibly several times. This prevents the potential data loss with previous versions.
- It now checks the location of the extSdCard device. This should help with compabilty, e.g. for US versions.
- Added some log output and toasts (2s delay)
- Added link to this thread and version number in app
- It's a beta so please beware, but I think the worst probable thing that can happen is that it does not work (e.g. it does not start UMS if it cannot unmount the extSdCard).
- Dammit, the whole day is already over
v1.1
- Added option for going back to MTP
v1.0
- Initial release

Thanks!

This sounds awesome. Does it increase transfer speeds?

unbelievable!!! It works...is it possible to see also internal storage as well? In explorer I get 2 new devices one is SD card and the second I cant access...

How about your MicroSD card, does it mount that too?

Works perfect, thank you. If this only would be possible for the internal memory, too.

This does basically nothing to your computer, but just do a reboot to undo the changes on your phone.

On of the drives is your external card. That's the only one that can be accessed. Theoretically it should be automatically mounted by windows, somehow this does not seem to work for you... I think you should not need additional drivers, but I'm also not sure what the root of the problem is.

do not know....so because i have both removable drives empty...i will use my DropBox + DropSync, FTP and unmount sdcard put it into card reader and then after copying from PC i will mount it back to phone
PS: i am just sad ,,because it was a great hope for mass storage mode

same for me only 2 empty drives on Win7 64

Wtf what a nice programm for this os,thx for all who made it available for endusers(of rooted devices),thx @all programmers,thx contable

Thanks for the first feedback. The app is still under development. I just thought to release a first version for all.

Really very good work........

Nice app. Good work:good:

Does anybody know where the email attachments are stored on device ?
I don´t remember...
If I know the path I could make visible all downloaded email attachments like on Windows Phone 8 (new office hub feature).
Thx in advance.

Contable,i just dont know the folder,but i think,that windows phonehacker.com is working on their version of notificationcenter,so go and ask them,eventually they know where them are stored

Hi,
It's looks great. If I'll try it. Thanks a lot.
Se ve genial. Sin duda la probaré. muchas gracias

Big thanks for this app, works fine on my HD7.:good:

"\Application Data\Volatile" is the temp folder used for downloaded files, including attachments. If there are any recently opened attachments, they will be in a subfolder called EmailAttachments\Attachments[bunch of numbers]. If files aren't opened for a while, then a new folder is created at \Application Data\VolatileToDelete[1digit] and the EmailAttachments subfolder and subfolders of it are moved here. There may be multiple such VolatileToDelete subfolders of the \Application Data\ folder at any given time.
\Application Data\Volatile" is also a folder to which access is granted via the pseudo-standard app capability FileBrowser (this is how Adobe Reader is able to open downloaded files directly). Of course, with TCB permissions, you can safely ignore the Capability list.
Hope that helps. Great idea.

Thanks for the info. While browsing my device I saw those folders, but they were full of downloaded stuff...
I will add the email attachment client as well as the filebrowser client (for being able to upload and download from any folder and to any folder) hopefully at the next weekend. The code for both clients is allready written, I just have to do some small modifications.

I can't make this app to work for me
it doesn't login to skydrive, no matter how hard I try.
And yes I do have a rooted device
The app simply states: SkyDrive not connected. Login first.
And it shows below a very tiny icon (the cloud from skydrive). Once I click on it, it opens the skydrive app (which shows all my folders on the skydrive service). Then what do I do? I tried with the back button on the phone to get back to you app, which shows exactly the same problem.
If I hit the Start button and then open your app again, same problem.
It simply doesn't login on skydrive.
I tried to search on the app settings if there is a way to connect to skydrive (usually all the apps that uses skydrive should be connected with the service first, using their APIs, so I know exactly what this app is doing with my skydrive account and I can easily revoke the permission).
BTW my device is LG optimus 7 E900 rooted with Hethcliff74 tool, updated to last firmware, OS (tango), etc.
I have no problem running your app, granting root access to it and to skydrive.
I also installed Program Manager (the app I am really interested to, together with your app I want to backup my games, app folders to skydrive), and granted root access to it
EDIT: I found the button to connect to skydrive! I tried tapping everywhere on the black screen on the app and found it on the top right side of the screen. Once I tapped on there, a windows icon with Sign In magically appeared.
BTW my phone theme is white but your app main screen is completely black. Dunno why the link doesn't appear on it

And it shows below a very tiny icon (the cloud from skydrive). Once I click on it, it opens the skydrive app (which shows all my folders on the skydrive service). Then what do I do? I tried with the back button on the phone to get back to you app, which shows exactly the same problem.
If I hit the Start button and then open your app again, same problem.
It simply doesn't login on skydrive.
I tried to search on the app settings if there is a way to connect to skydrive (usually all the apps that uses skydrive should be connected with the service first, using their APIs, so I know exactly what this app is doing with my skydrive account and I can easily revoke the permission).
BTW my device is LG optimus 7 E900 rooted with Hethcliff74 tool, updated to last firmware, OS (tango), etc.
I have no problem running your app, granting root access to it and to skydrive.
I also installed Program Manager (the app I am really interested to, together with your app I want to backup my games, app folders to skydrive), and granted root access to it
EDIT: I found the button to connect to skydrive! I tried tapping everywhere on the black screen on the app and found it on the top right side of the screen. Once I tapped on there, a windows icon with Sign In magically appeared.
BTW my phone theme is white but your app main screen is completely black. Dunno why the link doesn't appear on it

Click to collapse
I have developed the app on my device using black theme.
If necessary I can color the sign in button for you with another color or add a background image...

Thank you for this great app
Are you planning to allow translations?

Mounts2SD started out as a simple sd-ext script which only difference between it an others like it, was that it did not use symlinks to create links between /data and /sd-ext. To day it has grown to be so much more. It now comes packed with an Application for controlling the script, viewing current states and more. The script itself has grown to become a large storage and management script with features that controlls SWAP, ZRAM, mount optimization, storage thresholds, different external and internal MMC configurations, cache and more. The content management is able to move a lot more different content between /data and /sd-ext, including the new internal storage, which on some devices, is placed in /data/media, and it also contains more than one option for storing system content on both /data and /sd-ext.
Mounts2SD is no longer just a script for devices with low storage capabilities. It can be used for a lot of things and is useful on almost any device, even those without external sdcard
● SWAP Support (Needs kernel support)
● ZRAM Support (Needs kernel support)
● Move and Revert content between /data and /sd-ext
● /data/dalvik-cache
● /data/app and /data/app-private
● /data/app-asec (Used by Android 4.1+)
● /data/app-lib (Used by Android 4.2+)
● /data/data and /data/user (Android 4.2+)
● /data/media (Used by some Samsung devices as internal storage)
● Optimizing internal partitions
● Checks/Fixes the sd-ext partition during boot (Needs e2fsck)
● Auto Clean /sd-ext/Lost+Found to avoid having it take up to much disk space
● Disable/Enable Ext4 Journal (Needs tune2fs) on sd-ext
● Let's you use whatever linux file system for sd-ext which is supported by the kernel
● Change Storage Threshold to fix Market issue 'Not enough space'
● Comparing destination partition to folder sizes before moving content
● Change Internal and External Readahead and Scheduler
original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432479
i've tried this script on many androids devices on many releases ,,,, and by my own effort i tried it on galaxy grand after so many failed attempts
steps for our grand ( tested by me )
Requirements :
● rooted device
● busybox
● init.d support
● second partition on your external sdcard
● MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition download from here: http://www.minitool-partitionrecovery.com/download.html
● Mounts2SD download from end of threads
● A lot of concentration and patience
Explanation
●repartition SDcard
do backup for your sdcard and open MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition and delete all Partition on sdcard
Trace Pictures
we want 2 Partition 1 fat32 and 1 ext2 or ext3 or ext4
primary partition must be fat 32
and other partition can be any ext look in picture :
i select 4g.b cuz i install a lot of apps and and we move apps and data and cache and media etc so we need a big partition size
and when we end reparation it must be like this
25 + 4G.b
now restore all your data to sdcard and put sdcard in your grand
sure sure make backup
now install Mounts2SD and open it and trace photos
go to applications setting and instal startup script look photos
after install startup script go to content and setup setting like in photos down :
if you want move media and all content please make xposed installer as a system app if you don't make it as a system app you will get some error
then go to driver and select ext partition
now restart and when system reboot it can take a hour or more to move all to ext partition don't turn off phone
and the result is
over 200 apps on my phone and have free space 3.7g.b
used space 342 mb only
downloads:
now good bye and sorry for bad English

USB-OTG app access in Nougat - solution?

I decided to start a new thread about this since I have been searching high and low in the forum about this particular issue. I copy and paste my post I wrote in the RR thread since I think it is worth to bring it to more public attention.
I also found some comments on this very issue in the Redmi Note 3 Kenzo forum about Nougat/RR 5.8.2 and in other forums (about nVidia Shield) as well. The basic issue is about app access (Kodi for example) to USB-OTG flash drives. It also affect MX Player and FX File Explorer. Here is my earlier post:
There is one thing I would like to point out - perhaps a solution can be found:
App access to external USB flash drives
Nougat and some ROM/kernel combinations seems to act differently than Marshmallow in this regard - it cause some issues with Kodi (as one example) and also some file managers (FX File Explorer). The symptoms are:
1. USB flash drives doesn't show up as 'regular' storage volumes in FX (the app demand the user to 'connect to the drive' and insist on transferring every file in order to view them - videos is a typical example). It happens with Root Explorer as well in some cases.
2. Kodi is unable to access a USB flash drive. It can navigate the file tree down to the /mnt/media_rw but is unable to access the drive itself (i.e. nothing happens when selecting media_rw).
3. StickMount doesn't help either - the USB disk remains inaccessible for Kodi and FX.
Apps such as MiXplorer and Files (the native file manager, not the CM one) is able to manage the USB disk properly.
The ajmsg78 packaged RR 5.8.1 with Nebula v1 seems to operate similar to Marshmallow in this regard - FX File Explorer and Kodi are able to treat a USB disk in the same way as a memory card (browse files, selecting a folder as a Kodi source etc).
It only works on that particular ROM/kernel combo - flashing Nebula v2 or Harfix R2 immediately change the storage access (i.e. FX want to 'connect to storage' and Kodi loose the ability to access the disk).
I think the main issue is the way Nougat handles app access to those disks. There are no problems with accessing the regular microSD card - Kodi and FX are able to handle it perfectly well. It is only when a USB flash drive is connected that the problem arise.
The easiest way of checking it is:
Install FX File Explorer and/or Kodi. Connect a flash drive and see if it shows up in FX and/or become accessible in the Kodi file browser. If FX want to 'connect' to storage instead of simply mounting it or Kodi is unable to browse it - then the issue is present.
There are something in the ajmsg78 packaged RR 5.8.1 by marchetto96 with Helium fixes including Nebula v1 that make it work. Flashing another kernel (Nebula v2 or Harfix) revoke the access. StickMount doesn't help. So there are something special about the Nebula v1/RR 5.8.1 combination (I don't think it is the ROM itself but the kernel - flashing that ROM version with Harfix R2 before setting it up means no USB flash drive access).
It would be interesting if a solution can be found. I have been trying the latest Kodi 18 Leia nightlies without success (can't browse the media_rw). SPMC (the Android fork based on Kodi 16) is also unable to get such access.

Tested in LAOS by Nijel8 on default kernel.
My experience with Kodi is as follows:
After inserting usb_otg drive...
- when I access the usb_otg and in the popup from MiXplorer do not allow it to mount the drive but from notifications select Android system>drive name>Explore> and select the new drive , then enter root explorer and in there I tap the file to be played > select Kodi to play it, it does not work (files are present in /mnt/media_rw/xxxx-xxxx/)
- when I insert usb_otg and in the popup from MiXplorer allow it to mount the drive, it is invisible in /mnt but visible in MiXplorer, furthermore when I tap the file to be played in there and select Kodi, it plays correctly. But the drive and it's content is invisible to the system and other apps. It does not seem that the files are copied to internal storage as opening 3GB movie from usb (mp4 file format) took only 7 seconds.
MiXplorer has a custom driver for USB OTG,

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and Kodi just isn't compatible with new permission system present in Android 7 (or 7.1.1 as the case here).
Also even with the custom driver, usb_otg drive is not visible in Kodi and files must be started in MiXplorer.
If the kernel allows for old-style mounting of external storage then Kodi will work (AFAIK).

This seems comparable with my own results. MiXplorer work perfectly.
I am back on the RR 5.8.1/Nebula v1 combo packaged by ajmsg78 - it seems like that particular kernel is the key for success. Kodi are able to browse the file tree and reach the disk under /usbstorage/xxx-xxxx, which is the issue otherwise.
It feels like this is a major issue for several apps under 7.1.1 and it would be great if it is possible to make newer kernels that allow the older mounting mode, at least until there are clear indications that the new permission model is properly managed.
It is important to notice that Kodi have no issues whatsoever with internal microSD cards. It can navigate them properly - the issue is only when a USB flash drive is being used.
Edit: FX File Explorer is the other app with issues - it can access the drive but insist on transferring files for playback. It just can't play them directly because of its insistence on 'connecting to the drive' like it is a remote volume or something.

Just trying to contribute a little (I'm no developer!). The only way my galaxy t810 (nougat) recognized the USB stick is when I change the USB configuration of tablet to rndis (USB ethernet). Don't know why! But only work for pendrives, still doesn't work for my HD (even with root and with paragon or any other app). Didn't tested with accessories (like a mouse).
Update: stop working...

I've (finally!) got app access to usb-otg using stick-mount, it mounts it at '/storage/emulated/0/usbStorage/sda1' and is accessible to every app I've tried so far (inc Fx), I don't use kodi so I can'check that. I'm using ResurrectionRemix 5.8.5(latest ver) with Elemental kernel.
