Root SD bind with boot buddy script

[KA24DERACER]

hey all, so as far as Im aware, there are only two ways to keep app data on the external SD card. Directory Bind, which I have heard stinks, and using a remount script with boot buddy.

My question: how would I use boot buddy to JUST remount my app data folders to my external SD card. I dont really want to mount my whole internal SD card, just the large app data storages. Can anyone tell me how to do this or write me a script for it (perhaps a general script which I could just fill in the folders I want to transfer).

Thanks for any help

I wrote up a small script that you can use, named rebind_dirs.sh. Just put that in your Boot Buddy directory. It basically performs the same function as the app "directory bind", but it will bind the directories much earlier in the startup process.

You will also need to tell it which directories you want to bind. Create an empty file on your sdcard named rebind_dirs.txt.
(/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/rebind_dirs.txt)

In that file put the directory names you want to bind, for example:

Download
DCIM

This script will not move or overwrite any files. It will simply mirror directories within internal storage to your sdcard.
(/mnt/sdcard/DCIM -> /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/DCIM)

Cheers

Thank you Sepero, that is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I just dont like all the errors and things associated with remounting the WHOLE SD card, I just want to be able to mount the app data. Appreciate the help
