Hey guys,
I have a G1, a 2gb sd and a 256mb sd, thing is, the only one that will flash roms successfully is the 256mb card and all my apps are on the 2gb one. If i try to remove and remount the 2gb one the apps dont show up and if i reboot the phone will hang on the android screen. i have tried reformatting my 2gb card, but no luck there. any suggestions?
Make sure your card is a decent class card, class 6 is the best for the hardware. Google is your friend.
You might possibly need to buy a new card, possibly a different brand. Good luck.
you can get the sdcard i have for 20 dollars off newegg.com, check my signature for the card info
Just bought a 16GB Micro SD Card, it is not recognised by HD (saying not installed, my old 8GB card is working fine), but the card is working very well in the other phone (LG) and my digital camera.
Any professor could help? Thanks
Just a wild guess that it's an SD-HC card. Certain types of cards will be recognised after some registry tweaks.
*Which ROM are you using? - These tweaks may or may not already be applied
*Does your computer recognise the card? - Could be a faulty card
*Have you run the Card Format utility from within the phone? - All cards need to be formatted first
As always remember to search the forum. And PLEASE do not double-post. You will be lucky if anyone replies to either this thread or the same thread in the accessories forum.
Thank you.
I bought the 2nd class 6 16GB card which is working well. The 1st one is going to be used in my digital camera.
Hello, I new to the Nook Color. I just ordered a couple for the kids for X-Mas. I'm no stranger to rooting etc. As I understand it CM7 will be running off the Micro SD card correct? Does it matter what type of card I use? Does anything get saved to the NC internal memory such as downloads etc? My big question is, Does the Micro SD card's class have any effect on performance? Would getting a class 10 vs class 2 make a difference? Thanks.
The higher the class the faster the performance it will be if ur running the rom from the sd card which you plan to do.
I am running from internal memory but all my stuff is saved on the memory card naturally, I don't have to guide it there it just does it.

Will it perform better from internal memory than class 10 micro sd? If so is there a guide to do this and would it still require an external card for other stuff? I plan on using CM7 stable and the guides I've seen are for booting from external.
Check this post it might help you decide on what sd card to use and wether to run from internal memory or external: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18430544

Thanks... I must have missed this in my search(es).
It has been extensively discussed here. The class is less important than getting a Sandisk card. Class 2 or 4 are fine. They will perform about as well as internal memory. Any others brand, even those with a higher class will suffer more FC's and not perform as well. My class 6 PNY WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A CLASS 4 Sandisk.
I don't know the thread, but it is well documented and should be able to find via search.
My recommendation would be to run CM7 off the internal eMMC and use a blank SD card for backup and storage. In that case it doesn't really matter what card you use but since they are all fairly cheap these days I would get an 8GB card class 6 or higher. One for each Nook. Also get a 3rd card that you will use as a bootable card for the installation. Keep that card handy in case you ever need to reinstall CM7 or if you need to restore to stock for a warranty claim. I kept mine and keep a copy of my currently nightly (201) as well as a full stock ROM (1.3). I already had to make use of it once when I needed to have my Nook replaced under warranty.
Thanks everyone for helping me get pointed in the right direction. I plan on installing CM7 to internal memory and have everything I need to get started.
I don't know if you care, but I would do a first run on the Nook Color and register the device with B&N prior to wiping it and installing CM7 in case you run into warranty issues (such as replacing the USB cord) which you will need to have registered for.
Otherwise +1 on the Sandisk micro SD cards, class # across manufacturers varies wildly. My Sandisk class 4 16GB card outperforms both my class 6 PNY and Transcend 8GB cards in small writes/reads. I had random force closes on the Transcend when I first installed CM7 before I switched to the Sandisk.
EMMC > SD install if you like to tinker with your installs --- the agnostic sd card image here has a barebones recovery and you will not be able, afaik, to manually wipe partitions etc if you so desire or flash non-signed roms and themes (please correct me if I'm wrong, which I very well may be).
I used to dual boot (stock EMMC, CM7 SD card) but as things have progressed this year there's no reason for me to stick to even nootered stock --- the performance difference between stock and CM7.x is massive, and the big bugs have been fixed (SOD, battery drain). Even if you like the default reader app, there's great generic ereaders out there (and now with Overdrive app from Google Market, the ability to borrow DRMed epubs like you could with the native Nook reader client).
Just one note I would add to the above. When deciding between an internal install and dual boot, note that some have reported issues with the latch for the sd card breaking with frequent removals of the sd cards. This latch repair requires factory return. I, personally, would recommend internal install with an sd card for storage. This will prevent frequent removal of the sd card and will extend the life of the card latch.
Just my two cents.....

You don't have to remove the sd card to boot stock.. just power up while holding the N button and you will be given a choice of which system to boot.. this is true if using the Size Agnostic procedure documented here on XDA.

The point is well-taken because every time you update your rom, you'll have to take out the card, BUT you have to do that even with the internal memory (emmc) install. But as the previous post indicated, you don't need to take out the card just to boot to stock. I would strongly recommend that you not install the rom to the emmc until after your warranty expires. That way, if you have any problem with the NC, you can simply take out the card, and you're back to stock, i.e. none of the "restore to stock" stuff you'd need to do if you put CM7 on the emmc.
I just used Clockworkmod 16 gig to root my nook color. Now that its done I want my 32 gig class 4 card back to stock to utilize its full capacity. How do I unpartition the card. I used win32diskimg to write to the card. My windows 7 will only acknowledge that there is ~14 gigs on the card.
Please help I am a noob but I can follow directions. I'm actually also wanting to do this so I can bring my nook back to stock and then dual boot the color encase something goes wrong I can get it looked at at B&N.
Thank you all for the help. I search the forums and couldn't find a fix.

i couldn't find the program on Sandisk .com. I did find a free one when I hunted for SD formatter.
w w w.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Just not sure if it will work on Micro SD cards
go into menu... device settings... unmount sd card... format sd card
Thanks
It worked great
Okay.
So I searched and searched, and did not see anything with similar phrasing, though, I'd assumed this had been asked before.
I have my Nook Color, running CM7 off an 8GB card.
I purchased a 32GB Card and dumped everything on it and proceeded to put it into the Nook, and try and load it up.
Guess what, it didn't work.
Is there any reason why this didn't work? Does it have to be on a 8GB card only because that's what CM7 was made to work off of?
If not, could anyone provide me with information in regards to getting the Nook to boot off a larger card?
THANKS!

The problem is that you cannot just copy stuff from one card to another using ordinary tools and expect it to boot. There are methods that allow you to clone from one to another, but it must be done with imaging software.
Get win32diskimager free from the web. Start that and choose the drive that has your SD in it and in the image box pick a location on your hard drive and give it a name to save the image to. Then click 'read'. It will read the card and create an 8GB image file where you told it to. When it has finished, eject the 8GB card and insert the 32Gb card. Select write and it will burn a clone of the 8Gb card to your 32GB card. Then get the free Mini-Tool Partition Manager software and expand partition 4 to fill the rest of the drive. You are done.
