I have almost 2 gigs left of memory in my mnt/emmc ...is there anyway I can utilize that space??
Yes, usb cable plugged into your PC, tap to turn on USB Mass storage then use your left-over emmc storage.
Would I just move the files manually when I plug into PC? Ill plug it in and figure it out..thanks!!
I run from a MicroSD install, and use the emmc space on the Nook as such:
Power down, remove SD.
Power up to stock (1.2), plug into pc.
Transfer pictures, documents, etc.. to emmc memory space.
Disconnect from pc, power down.
Insert SD, power up to Android.
Use new (to device) data as needed.
YMMV

The eMMC storage is an additional storage. You can do whatever you want.
And yes, copy/move/drag/paste files/folders, pictures, clips, docs, whatever.
Actually...I figured out that I can move or remove anything in and out of the emmc with Root Explorer. No USB required. Except of course u need to import an external file which I think that's what u thought I meant ....can't believe what a useful tool root explorer is! definitley worth the 4 bucks...

Running off the emmc...I almost ran of micro like u...but that's kinda cool that u can take out ur SD and go back to stock for the day if wanted...I do miss the children's books feature. But I flashed already and I can just buy kids interactive books off the market...they are cheaper than b&n anyways...thanks.

Not sure what's happening. I was trying to move a 1gb file to my Sd card from my laptop. The phone goes berserk. It freezes then wont start up while the file was transferring. Then it restarts and goes to main unlock screen the restarts again. I cant seem to transfer files unless they are below 200mb. Is there something wrong with the SD card?/
Also a few times it starts off as a fast transfer but then 75% done it slows down to a point where it transfers less than 1mb/sec
Is this a persistent issue? If you are bricked, the only advice I can give is get a decent quality sd card reader (preferably bundled with a micro sd to sd card adapter). I can recommend one. Actually I have yet to try editing my sd card directly - just a best guess.
Also you might try different means of transfer. Three examples are a) mounting phone as hard drive on computer and copying (which I presume you are doing already). b) dropbox c) adb push mega.mp4 /sdcard/mega.mp4
Hi community!
I just received my Nook Color with a green dot on the box, which seems to be a new variant with 1.2 but without the new partitions. I was able to install Cm7 emmc without any problems.
It's running fine now but almost every app including Rom Manager warns me that there is no sd card mounted. Also I can't seem to mount USB storage when connected to PC. Is there something wrong with my setup or is an additional micro-sd card mandatory? How am I supposed to use the internal 8GB then? I'm really confused right now... thanks in advance.
Oh, I almost forgot: When I press slightly on the frame of the screen there are some "distortions" visible. Is this something to worry about? Also the screen is slightly brighter around the upper middle of the screen, which seems to be the LCD backlight. Is this OK?
Not all apps require SD, but a lot of them do. They don't know to look for that big internal partition, so you probably will want an SD card at some point.
Do you get a notification in CM7 when you plug the USB cable into your PC? If so, have you tried opening your notifications, following the USB notification to the USB Transfer/Debug screen, and hitting the "Turn on USB Transfer" button?
If you've taken all these steps, and you're using a Windows PC, have you tried watching Device Manager while you plug in the NC to see if the PC is recognizing the NC at all?
It may be generally helpful to know what resources you have on hand (type of PC, storage media, ADB, CWM on eMMC), what steps you took to install CM7 on the NC, and what specifically you are doing and responses you are getting interacting with the NC and your PC.
Thank you, it seems that i've simply missed the fact that cm7 needs an sd card for storage.
This makes USB storages work too. When I*turn on USB storage, there are 2 volumes mounted on my PC, the sd card and one titled "MyNookcolor" with 5GB of space. My question is, how can I*acces these 5GB from my nook?
The minor annoyance with the screen I mentioned seems to be a backlight leakage that is common for LCD's. Just curious if your nook(s) have that too?

Isn't that the last partition on the emmc, the one named /media in stock NC and mounted as /emmc for CM7 on SD?
OK, here's the deal, i got a 32 GB micro sd card ( class 10 ) about 4 months ago now and twice in the last 3 weeks it got corrupted. Some of the files were still available but for the most part, about 80% of all files were unreadable. The first time it happened was after unmounting my card from a mac, the second time i was unmounting from a pc but it was only charging.
I know it might be that the card is dieing or that its a low quality card but does anyone have any specific rules or un-mounting tricks that would reduce the risk of corrupted files on the sd card?
I am always plugging my phone into multiple computers for file access so it has to be something that i can initiate from the phone end.
Do you turn off Disk mode on the phone before you pull the usb cord out? If not, that's generally a good thing to do.

well, which should you do first? turn off disk mode or eject from the computer?
After having that happen with the 16GB SD card in my Nook Color, I pretty much avoid removing it from the device as much as possible. With the Evo, just use disk mode and transfer files that way without ever taking the card out of the Evo. If you ever do remove it be sure the "unmount" it frist from the phone, and eject properly from the computer.
I don't bother with the computer end, for any USB devices. I guess if you did want to do both you'd want to do the computer end first, since disabling disk mode also mounts the sd card on the phone in addition to unmounting it as a disk.
Did you buy it from an authorized retailer?
i bought it from newegg.
well, i"ve noticed that it happened once when i ejected from the pc frist and then frpom the phone.
turn off disk mode...wait till your phone settles and then yank the cord.
My goal is to go on a 2 week vacation without a laptop. The hurdle was to be able to clear out my SLR camera's memory card periodically by putting the pictures on the Tab and uploading them to an online storage location and Facebook.
So, I bought the USB adapter in the hopes that I can plug in an SD card, suck the photos off, and move them along.
Last night I came home with the USB adapter. I dug around my junk drawer for a USB card reader. I plugged an SD card with about 75 photos into the USB reader and then plugged USB reader into the USB adapter.
Immediately a number of things happened. The power light on the card reader lit up. The I/O light on the card reader starts blinking. On the Tab there are two messages in the notification area. One says tap here to safely remove the USB device. The other one says uploading and gives the name of a jpg file.
So far, so good. However, I don't know what to do next.
How do I get the files from the SD card into my Tab? I fire up File Manager HD and can't find the photos or the SD card in any folder. Where are they?
I just want to highlight them all tap on "Move" and paste them into a "vacation photos" folder. How is this done?
I think that I've figured out that the message stating that it was uploading a file was coming from Google Plus' automatic photo upload feature.
But, for the life of me, I can't figure out what to do with the photos. I believe that they might show up in the Gallery but so do all my online Picasa photos so I don't want to sift through thousands of photos to find the ones on the SD card.
Help! My vacation is coming up soon and unless I can figure this out I'll be lugging around a heavy laptop for two weeks just to upload photos.
check folder \sdcard\usbStorage
I think someone said that it wasn't in the usb storage but in external SD or another directory, just check it out with a file manager, and remeber to go up in ypur directory

Bingo! That works. Thanks much.
Hi All,
I've searched the forums and I'm unable to find a resolution to my problem.
I'm having horribly slow transfer speeds from the computer to my Atrix internal SD card. I am transferring about 7GB of music from my 64-bit Win7 PC and status says about 4-hours. Used to only take a few minutes on my Captivate.
I've tried formatting the internal card, re-flashing back to stock, different USB ports on the PC, etc all without any luck.
Any ideas before I completely tear my hair out?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: When the internal SD gets mounted, Windows is slow to find the drive and list its contents. The 2GB external that I have in the phone comes right up.
Wow. No idea. Iwas quite surprised at how fast toshiba emmc is. What speeds are you getting btw? Oh, i do know one thing possibly. Do you transfer files a lot? Flash memory has a limited life, though many of us never see flash die or start to die. But if you do these types large file tansfers, 7gb often, youre using up write cycles much quicker. Also, the folder youre transferring to is about 12 gigs right? Say you have 4 gigs of stuff in their already, and youre trying to put 7 gigs in, more than likely youre transfer speed will be slowed down. You need space to actually to fill stuff up, and the more space, the faster you can fill it up. I wish i could be a little more detailed. I know about this from solid state drives, and the concept is basically the same, but works a little different. I dont know if that is your problem though.

Take the SD card out of the phone and put in the adapter. Try measuring speeds via adapter. Your SC card might be dying.
His internal card.

Just thought I'd throw this out there, when you format an SD card it asks you for the amount of "bits" you want to format it with. I would research which number is best suited for your particular SD card depending on how big it is. Cause the standard number it automatically inserts may not be the best.
edit: ignore post. For some reason when I read it, my eyes saw external SD card instead of internal. Derp and Derp.
Which of the four (well, three) USB modes are you using to do the transfer?
