Increasing /data partition space? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way of increasing the /data partition of the NC for more apps to be installed? Running CM7 nightly 139.
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk

If you are running CM7 on the eMMC, the easiest thing is to just use an SD card. You need one anyway to be using ROM Manager.

Move to SD in CM6 Froyo

I am running cm6 with the data and cache mod. I don't need apps2sd anymore but I was curious as to how to get move to SD working in Froyo?
I have 40+ apps installed and few work when moved to SD. Once rebooted most of my shortcuts are gone and programs aren't in the app drawer.
What to do?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Without the Apps2SD hack only some apps can be moved to SD and those are whichever apps are created with that ability. There is an app called "app2sd" (go figure) that will show you exactly which can be moved so you don't have to waste your time looking 1 by 1
That app wont install successfully.

with 8/29 it happens to me but i let it sit and about 1 minute later they load
hope its fixed
I'm not interested in doing this anymore. I flashed the custom mtd partition files and now have 349mb of space for apps on internal storage. I currently have 220mb free with over 50 apps installed.

Batterylife and Pure Grid Calender do not play well with Froyo App2sd, I have tried to have them on sd and internal memory, both bug out on reboot and require reinstall.

What mtd partitions did you set up?
In terminal type
su
df -h
That will show your partition settings and you'll see what you system is taking up. Redo the mtd text to a few mb's over your system's.
If you still aren't sure check the thread on the mtd mod for more info.

Partition SD Card

I cant find the option in ClockworkMod Recovery to partition my sd card
Install Rom Manager, it does partition automatically using recovery.

Actually, no - that wasn't the least bit helpful. Like the OP, I've been struggling with this topic for a while and I've searched extensively, both on this forum and elsewhere, and have found no good description of how to go about partitioning my SD card and setting it up correctly. I understand that very often people don't bother to search at all and ask questions that have been asked and answered hundreds of times before, and that such laziness is quite frustrating to people like yourself who are particularly knowledgeable and experienced - but in this one instance, I think you may have been a bit too quick to dismiss the OP's question.

You can boot from a live CD such as Ubuntu and then mount the microSD. From there, the partitions may be extended to meet your needs. The live CD will see the ext2, ext3, swap, etc. linux partitions as well as the FAT32 ones.

Yes, when you go into recovery mount system (it will say unmount when it's mounted, you probably already knew that) and then install from zip card and you should be set.
Will this work on GummyJAR 2.5 or will it bring forth the end of my phone? jk about the end of the world but in all serious-ness will it?

Well, I just installed it, and my phone hasn't caught on fire yet... Speedtest is a little better than my normal speeds sitting at my desk, but nothing amazing. But my speeds here at work fluctuate SO wildly anyways, it's just weird.
This mainly just keeps your phone from being throttled at peek hours or after you have reached 5gigs

No they aren't supported by the CM team yet. They are still in pre beta phase.

I read in another post that this version of CWM only supports the sd-ext so those of you that like romracers recovery can just keep that.
CWM does support ext4 though and it has for the last couple of point releases I think.

Yeah, 5.0.0.1, is available from the website directly.
Will flash tonight and have a nose

Well it defaults to the ext-sd, if you have one. Otherwise, I guess it defaults to the internal. The install .zip. and backup/restore features are all automated now, in terms of you not being able to select internal or external; i.e. if you have a ext-sd installed, and you simply select backup in CWM, then the process starts automatically, without giving the option to select where you would like to store the backup. I didn't care for it, and went back to RomRacer's; more options + colors.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Yeah. I'm having trouble with it too. Will not perform a backup at all. Asking to ensure I have v4.4.0.0 or higher installed. We'll yeah, I've got 5.0 installed!
Going back to romracers as well.

You need ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher, not CWM. Go to the market and update your ROM Manager

I use this method. Partition your sd card through recovery (backup everything on it first) convert to ext3 and install this app.

just like darktremor but easier and can be used on any and every rom
