SUCCESS! The 64GB Question - How to move apps to SD card or flash drive?

[bjs229]

I get stick mount to work and nexus media worked for streaming without root. I am using my sticks in a conventional manner though. I am not manipulating the partitions.

Here's a screen capture of my Directory Bind app screen, showing what it looks like.  T=target, the (now virtual) location where the app is looking for its data.  S=source, the actual location where the app data files are stored on my flash drive.

it took me awhile but following the birdmans efforts i have managed to get directory bind up and running 

  moved my backups to a 32gig flash drive.

Cool, Commodore128.  Now if I could only get it to work with Android 4.2.  I had to revert to 4.1.2, since Directory Bind and apps are stymied by 4.2's emulated directory structure.

In 4.2, I could get Directory Bind to bind the true source directory path (/mnt/shell/emulated/0/usbStorage/sdb1/xxx) to the fused/symlinked/emulated target directory path (/sdcard/xxx) on second mount (sdb1, NOT sda1), but apps didn't see their data.  I think it would work in 4.2 if Directory Bind would accept the true target directory path, but since Directory Bind is no longer supported by its developer, that isn't likely to happen.

I hear there's a hacker warez called Lucky Patcher that supports directory binding.  Until I check it out, I'm sticking with 4.1.2 and Directory Bind.

i'll have a look for lucky patcher--should also have mentioned runng AOKP milestone build 1--4.1.2


   pity directory bind will no longer be supported.

        that's life i suppose ??

Word is Lucky Patcher doesn't work with 4.2, either. The Directory Bind developer is an anomaly. It's his only product, & he never intended to support it.

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow (49.6 mpg over 38k miles in  Scion xB)
