Hi there!
Iam searching for something like this quite a long time.
I dont want Shortcuts on my homescreen, what iam searching for, is a way to create shortcuts in the folder system like we have a couple in the system root of our devices. (Cant move or copy those existing ones)
Basically i want a shortcut from sdcard to external sdcard because there are some usefull apps with a crappy explorer to search its files. Not working with shortcuts made by windows. Is it even possible?
Thanks for advises...

Create a new folder to /mnt/sdcard
Type this in terminal:
$ su
# mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard/extStorages/SdCard /mnt/sdcard/the-name-of-the-folder-you-created

Thanx a lot!!
This will make everything much easier...
For cm users, the path is: /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/name-of-the-folder-you-created

Oh, forgot to mention that you need to do this on every time the device has rebooted. Or do an init.d script to do it automatically on boot.
Sent from my GT-P6210
Yeah, i noticed that..
And just to be sure: After i bound the path to the folder i created and i delete it, will this path i just bound also be deleted? Or just the folder i created?
Thanx man... greetings from australia!

It will delete all the files but not the folder, just tested out of curiosity and wiped my whole SD...
So unbind it first before trying to delete the folder.
Sent from my GT-P6210
Jesus... xD.
Sounds funny but I feel sorry cause I actually could have tried this by myself.
At least, we are all warned now...
Unbind is just: mount -o unbind ...... ??
Of course, I could delete scripts and reboot, but just to be sure, u know??
I hope u had a backup...
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda app-developers app
You need to unmount the folder you have bound your SD:
umount /path-to-the-bind-folder
I had a bit old backup, and also got many deleted files recovered with Recuva, so not a big problem

Found an app solution what is doing exatly the same: Directory Bind
Probably not in the Play store. Found it in Fireplace Market(another alternative play store for apps you will never find in the play store)
Or just google it! Have fun guys! And thanks again!

Surely not?!
However, If that is the only answer, an explanation would be nice as a factory reset seems a little extreme don't u think?

You probably have to go into either;
- /system/app/; or
- /data/app/directory and delete the odex file that has the same name.
Example: If you cannot install Titanium Back Up. Navigate to /data/app/ and find titanium.odex. Remove it and now you can install titanium.
Hope it help :fingers-crossed:

I already saw that solution elsewhere but doesn't work. I cant install any app apart from some.
This might sound stupidly simple but, are you sure you just aren't low on space from music or movies, etc...?

Do factory Reset and through CWM Recovery Restore your setting and Apps from NAND Backup (if only you created one).. :laugh:
ok guys - just sorted it.
i installed app2sd at some point and i think i was trying to get it to install by default to my sd card. problem is that the old tab 7.7 doesnt support installing to sd. So what was happening it was just giving me a no error message. i used Super manager 3 to default back to the device memory, rebooted and all ok now.
sorry for my stupidity. but shame on the amount of users telling me to do a factory reset - thank god i didnt listen to y'all!!
i have same issue

**** happens
I faced the same problem with my Xperia ZR after playing with Link2SD.
Fixed it with starting the terminal and typing:
Code:
su
pm set-install-location 1
pm get-install-location
Resut is 1[internal], and the apps are now installing.

This worked for samsung gt-p6800! Thanks for the post.
Hello,
This is my first guide. It's not my work but I thought I'd post it here as many people would find it useful. I found it somewhere in the sprint galaxy s3 forums a while back and I keep using it. It has worked on all the roms I have installed so far.
You will need a copy of the Google search apk with universal search. Here's my copy http://db.tt/Chg3ev9i
You will also need the app Root explorer found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_medium=organic&utm_term=root+explorer+apk I don't know if there is a free version or if file explorer with root access will work. I use Root explorer and it works. Anyways for the guide:
1. Open up root explorer and navigate to /system/app
2. Mount as R/W
3. Copy googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk and paste it somewhere safe as a backup.
4. Delete googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk from /system/app
5.paste the Google search apk from my dropbox into this folder /system/app and set the permissions to RW-R--R-- (if you don't know what it looks like, check the permissions on any other apk in this folder and make it look the same)
6. Remount folder as R/O
7.exit Root explorer app
8. Go to your settings>application manager>all and scroll down to Google search (not the one with the pic of a search bar. The one with the big "G" ) tap it and tap clear data (if this is not an option, don't worry about it)
9. Go back to Settings>application manager>all and scroll to googleservicesframework.apk, tap on it and tap clear data.
10. Reboot
11. Enjoy your universal search

You can do that but it will erase when you reboot. To make it stick, you have to do the full method

Solve this by long press menu at home screen to force search than hit the accept button at the prompt. Search widget should now work. Or just go to your apps and run search app and hit accept.

Thank you so much for this. Made me so happy to have uni search back. F'n Apple and their stupid lawsuits over stuff they stole.
Thanks again and as always...
GOBEARS!
Universal search was keeping me on the LF2 base. While I may need a good reason to come off of LF2 at least now I know I have the option.
Thank you, thank you!
I had been trying an apk that was posted for use on my GTab 8.9, but it never worked on the S3. I consider the $4 for Root Explorer a small price to pay to get this functionality back where it belongs. Kudos!:good:

For those of us on jelly bean (AT&T S3), would this process still be beneficial or does Google Now cover it all?

You can easily tell local search is in Google Now, just search for an app you have in your app drawer using it. This was for ICS when Samsung removed local search.

I have already rooted my phone and i have also directory bind but i don't understand how to move nfs to exsdcard ç_ç
Move the data manually to the external sd to the same folder name as it is intended to be in the sdcard.
Then go to directory bind app.
Press menu softkey of ur phone.
Then create new directory.
In the first text area type the directory of the folder where the data is
And in second text field type the directory of the folder wherevit should actually be.
Click on add. (dont select the option to moge the data as u have done that manually.)
Then click on the floppy sign on the extreme left of the newly created directory. This will finally bind the memory.

I have another problem when i start the game and when i'm racing all the texture are black i can see only a little part of car's body can you rehelp me xD?
I never faced that issue...
Maybe your data has some trouble.
You may even try by reinstalling the game.
Note: if you are uninstalling a game and u don't want to remove its linked data then rename that folder just before uninstalling.
After reinstalling put the correct name of the folder..

Here's a better way:
Use an app like "App Backup & Restore" from the Playstore. It will copy the apks to a folder on your SD card. You can then use a File Explorer to send those apks via Bluetooth. :good:
Try finding it in CM file manager.
I hope you find it!

All your app's installed and linked using Link2SD are saved into your second partition you created as fake internal ram. This second partition is either EXT2 or EXT3, Linux format.

Hi all.
Like in topic, I've got GAlaxy Tab 2 with 4.0.3. I didn't make backup before updating him to 4.1.2 and i lost a lot of photos and videos (really important files for me). Now tablet is clean, I didnt make any new images. Is there a chance to get them back? If someone can help me with this
I'll be really happy.
I tried Dr. Fone for Android, but this GT2 has no mass storage mode option and is not visible to this software. There is no problem to root tablet to make this option visible.
Plz tell me what should I install and how to do it.
Thx in advance.
There are chances that your data in internal memory is not deleted....
Try this..
Open root browser..
Go to /storage/sdcard0
You might find your past data there.....
