Hey guys!
The internal capacity of Funbook is 4GB. It’s divided into two parts of 2 GB each. This creates problem especially for Gamers as many good games Such as Asphalt, Modern Combat, are huge in size. Some also over a GB.
DirectoryBind
DirectoryBind is a tool which mounts a directory on external SD card as another directory (usually on internal SD). Its created by a user from XDA Developers.
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 the application is using the 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 the data directory is not available (happens sometimes at boot)
* Tested successfully with Asphalt 6, Shadowgun, DeadSpace, CamScanner
Sounds difficult? It isn’t much!
Let us see how to make it work!
How to use DirectoryBind:
1. Download the app from here and install it.
2. Open the app. Go to Options and Select ‘Add new entry’
3. You’ll see something like this:
4. You must have installed the game installer already. (i.e. The small 2 -3 MB game which then downloads the whole data). press and hold on ‘Text Field’ under ‘Source Data’. You’ll se something like this:
Then browse to your /mnt/extsd (i.e. MicroSD card) and create a empty folder by using the ‘New’ Button. Name it anything you like, but make sure that there are no spaces in its name.
5. Now press and hold on ‘Text field’ under ‘Enter Target Path’. You’ll see a screen similar to above. Then Browse to the data folder of game. The location of this folder is different for different games. Search on google for your game directory. :)
6. Check the ‘Transfer Files from Target to Data’ check box.
7. Then Tap add.
8. You’ll see a screen like this :
9. After the Data is moved, You’ll see this screen:
The icons which is green in the above screenshot will be Gray. Tap that icon once. Then it should Change to green as shown in above picture. If the icon turns Red, it indicates that mounting has failed. This happens because an application is accessing one of the two folders or there is “Space” Between the name of one of the folders. Check if the game is running and force Stop it from settings and/or remove the space from folder names. Then the icon should turn green.
Green icon indicates that the mount is sccessful and you can start using your game/app.

NOT WORKING ON FUNBOOK.
unable to create empty folder for source path.
when created manually using computer and browsed to it, it was accepted.
navigated to game data in target path and checked transfer data.
copy dialogue appears for split second then dissappears.
data is not copied.
last screen does not appear.
it even removed the gamedata on SD…backup gamedata on PC before attempting to use directoy bind.
EPIC FAILURE
I wish it worked… Please test on your funbooks and report if it works!
Thanx
Its working perfectly fine on my funbook, buddy. I have Played Asphalt 6 and MC2 with it without any problems.
Why are you unable to create a empty folder @facebook-704133059:disqus source path ?
Which game were you using?
Have you installed superuser on funbook?
Are you using stock ROM or Another ROM?
Answer this questions and I’ll surely help you! :)
i m using another rom from iveiw n i m too having the same prob plss help me with it….and also tell me whnever i plugin any data card like tata photon + or others it says damaged sd card wat should i do plss solve my problem
Are you unable to use DirectoryBind? Please explain your problem a bit. We’ll surely help you. :)
And for the dongles, I dont have any dongle so for that matter I cant help you out. BUt, I’ll tell shashwat to help you.
I am using another ROM from Iview.
i am not on stock ROM…this ROM from iview that i am using has unlocked market superuser installed and rooted fine..everything works xcept directory bind. I had tried it again also but with no luck.The problem is same as described. I may have to change ROM to stock or experiment with other ROMs , but its too much of a work since i have installed so many apps and customized my ROM…i’ll have to do it allover again! plz. lemme know on which ROM is it working so that next tym when i reinstall OS i can try directory bind.
The app is actually ROM Independent and works on almost all android devices. I have tried it on Stock ROM as well as Clean ICS. You must be doing some step wrong.
Also, Go to settings and enable “alternate dbase Management” and then check if it works. You must also provide SU permissions to DirectoryBind.
where can i find alternate data base management thr is nthhng such in setting and directory bind is nt wrking i tried every way
