Use the method called "directory bind"
Please read the instruction carefully.

Hope this is helpful.

Donlyone I appreciate u. I actually have directory bind on my phone but I don't quite understand how to use it. Am scared of getting the phone corrupted again cos it got corrupted once while trying one application like that. Can u please explain the use to me in simple terms. Thanks

Okay lets start. DIRECTORY BIND

First you have to understand that this solution does not actually move your apps to SD, rather, it moves your APP OR GAME DATA TO SD hence, freeing your phone memory. These data are really huge for some apps or hd games, sometimes in excess of 1gig.

So essentially its like showing your hens a new spot to lay eggs.

First things first, you need to know where this DATA to be moved is located in your phone.

Usually but not always, it is stored in your INTERNAL SD » ANDROID » DATA

you'll see alot of folders in the SD.
Now scroll to ANDROID and open it.
On opening it you'll see another folder named DATA, open it and you'll see data folders for some apps. Now those the kind of data we are going to be moving.

I am finding it difficult to upload pics to aid you.

Are you still with me?

My oga am fully with you. Please fire on

Go to the link below and download Directory bind version 0.2.0o, thats the version I'm working with.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

Install and open it, it will ask permission for root access, grant the permission.

In order for directory bind to work you have to creat the same "data path" for apps on SD that is, Android » data
on the external SD (memory card).

I am saying you have to create a folder on your memory card which you will name Android. Open it and create another folder called data.

The good news is: The Directory bind app you just istalled can help you do just that.

On opening the Directory bind app you will see the screen uploaded above.

Now press your menu key to reveal 'app menu'

Note: Your device menu is a soft key located at the left lower end of your phone ie. left of your home key (home key is the only physical button on the front of a galaxy note phone)

Thanks I dey gbadun dis tutorial. Pls can u send me ur phone number so we can do a real time chat on WhatsApp? I also need to call you. Expecting

I can send it to your email, I don't want to put my number online.

Just post your email.

Now back to the matter at hand.

On pressing your menu button you'll see a pop-up, on it click on "add new entry"

When you click "add new entry" you get a screen with four items as below

»The first item (/sdcard/external_sd/) is the PATH to your memory card.

»The second(/sdcard/) is the PATH to your phone memory.

»The third (transfer files from target to data) ensures your app data is transfered from from phone memory to memory card.

»The fourth (add) adds the new entry.

Sorry no item no 7, guess they have to work on that

Before I continue, I need to advice you as a fellow ROOTED ANDROID PHONE user, you have to get your self TITANIUM BACKUP. With it, you could back-up your important apps and games. That way, if you make mistake with an app, you can always restore it. Also copy your APP DATA to a computer. It is good to be cautious.

Ok my number is 08030937612

Back to the topic at hand.

Before you move data you have to know the name of the app data folder to be moved because you'll create the EXACT folder on your memory card.

So go to / sdcard / Android/ data / to copy the name of the folder to be moved.

Now on the 'add new entry menu' click and hold the first item (/sdcard/external_sd/) for more than one second.
It will open your memory card (external_sd).

Notice the three soft keys at lower bottom of the screen. They are:
1) NEW: to creat a new folder
2) SELECT: to select a folder
3) UP: To leave a sub-folder to the main folder.

Click on NEW to creat a folder, a pop-up is displayed asking you to name your new folder, call it:
Android

On naming the folder it is immediately opened, click UP to go back to external sd.
You'll notice your new folder 'Android', now open Android and create another folder in it by clicking on NEW. Call the new sub-folder:
data

Please mind the spelling of the folder names, it matters

Open the new sub-folder "data" and create the folders (eg. com.opera.browser) for the app data to be moved.

Remember, the folders must bear the same name as the one to be moved from phone memory.

If you done this you have successfully created the data path for your memory card

Should I continue?

Thanks. I have got the number and added it to my phonebook. I am going for the titanium backup rightaway. In the meantime pls continue. I want to have a substantial measure of instructional materials on ground here then I can begin the practice so I can ask questions if I get stuck.

The first question Sir; can I effectively use the "My file" folder on my phone to assess my sd and external memory card? Or is it better assessed using applications like "Root explorer, AS file explorer" and the likes?

Yes you can use your file browser to do anything you want, the only difference is that root explorer and other file browsers like it can access parts of your file system that need special (root) permission. Some can even function like winrar.
Use them with care

Back to the topic.

Having created the data PATH on your memory card, now, click on the second item (/sdcard/) on the 'add new entry' screen, hold it for more than one second to open your internal sd.

Navigate to the folder 'Android' and open it.
You'll see a folder named 'data', open it to reveal the folders for app date.

Now click on the one you want to move (I mean the one you created an identical folder for on your memory card). Now click SELECT (remember its one of the soft keys on the lower part of the screen).

It should take you back to the 'add new entry' screen. Now TICK 'transfer files to target data'. (Note that 'TRANFER FILES TO TARGET DATA should only be done once. If you have reason to repeat the process, for instance, after reboot, don't tick this option again).

Now click the fourth item, that is, ADD.

On clicking 'Add', you should get this creen

Now press your device menu key to reveal app options.

Click on 'BIND CHECKED' to complete the process. You'll see the files transfering, don't interupt it.

If you have done it well, after files transfer you should get this screen (note the change in the icon colour)

Here is an advice from the site:

Note: Games will run slower of your SD card
Every time you reboot your phone the
process of binding will have to be repeated
otherwise the game will ask to download
data
I suggest unbinding directories when not in
use as this will help save battery

On a final note, let me ask you, have you downloaded hd games which has alot of data?

If not, Your phone memory may be getting full because your music and videos are on it.
Move all music and videos to your memory card.

Also check your Download and Bluetooth folders and move any file you can afford to move to the memory card.

Directory bind should be a last resort.

Don't forget to back-up your important apps using Titanium back up.

Hmmmm! What an elaborate and well articulated explanations! I so much appreciate u my oga. However, following the orders specified by u before the last one u gqve, I created "Android" then, "data" on my memory card and when I finished the process this is what I got with the green icon beside coming on: S: /sd card/external sd/Android/ and T: /sd card/Android/
I guess there is a problem here becos the target data is not included unlike in ur own illustration. ...

However when I opened the data folder on my memory card it contains exactly all the data files contained in my sd card. I want to ask: after successfully completing the transfer, should the sd card still bear the same data file that was supposedly transfered to the memory card or it should be empty of it? If it should not contain it again, what do I do in this case that both cintain all my data files? Should i manually delete the files from the sd card?

Finally to your question sir, yes I recently downloaded fifa 12 by EA sports. It is about 1.6GB and like I said the data file after doing the directory bind stuff both appears on external sd and internal sd. What do I do? In case I want to undo what I have done, uninstall and re-install the directory bind once again to follow ur steps to the letter how do I go about it without causing harm to my fone and also prevent data loss?

Do not uninstall directory bind

Do not manually delete any data

Do not call me Oga

Do not call me sir.

If the diskette icon turned green you must have done it well. The data may appear to still be in the phone memory, however if you delete it, you'll lose both (ie on sd and external sd). When I tried it, the data on sd was removed on reboot leaving only the one on external sd.

To restore your data to default,

press device menu,

press UNBIND ALL
notice the green colour disappear from the diskette icon.

Now press the diskette icon for more than one second,
The next screen gives you an option to delete.

Press delete, you'll see a pop-up giving you an option to either
1) transfer data to original folder
OR
2) delete data

Choose the option to transfer it back and save.

Thanks a bunch
