Hi. Did my usual +3 hours googling but came empty handed.
Could size-agnostic CM7 SD installer script be modified so that /Data partition is set to 2Gb instead of 1Gb? I know that I can always do the "move to SD" routine but Android keeps bugging me that I`m out of space even when I have 170Mb free on /data. And also moving apps back and forth from internal to SD somehow wrecked my system process. As a result I now have constant rebooting of the launcher as my only Android experience. Uninstalling recent apps did not work. Neither did freeing up space on SD and denying root to all apps that previously asked for it.

If you are willing to start from scratch you can burn the image again to the SD, but don't put any zips in it. Boot and let the script create the new partitions. Then put the card back in the PC and use Mini-Tool Partition Manager to shrink partition 4 (sdcard) and grow partition 3 (data) That program will handle the ext partition (3) as long as there is no data written to it yet. You can get that program free on the internet. Do a Titianium backup of your apps and data and restore later.
Edit: Now after thinking about it, you may be able to doctor your existing card. Partition 4 is fat so you can shrink it with data in it. Take the space off the front. Then I think the program will let you grow partition 3 into the empty space even with data already in it. It is just trying to move it with data does the program balk. Windows does not know how to read ext. Of course if you are running linux, just use gparted to do everything.
Yes, you could do that or you could use a program like easeus partition manager and move the partitions around after the first boot of the card.
Edit (while typing): It looks like you might be talking about an internal installation in which case you don't need to use size agnostic SD installer. Just repartition the internal the way you want it (there are threads for this) then flash your CM7.

Thanks for the idea of repartitioning prior to installing CM7. I`ll also try to repartition SD the way it is now- with data. I was concerned that /data partition is unmountable under Ubuntu when /boot and /system can be read without problems.
Hi again. I`ve managed to srink /sdcard partition under Windows and sort of grow /data partition under Ubuntu LiveCD (gparted froze right after doing its magic).
Boot loop on my Nook stopped as free space on /data increased from 175Mb to 1.2Gb. So I guess I wont be doing a fresh install at the moment.
Question is, exactly how much free space does CM7 need on /data partition? In a real world?
(at ~200Mb it starts bugging me about free space but overall Android stays stable)

Original Nook Color had 1GB for data. B&N upped it to 5GB on the new Nook Colors. I personally would make it 2GB unless you are going to be adding some really big apps.

hi guys new user of HTC HD2 here (previous motorola defy user)
so I got this phone yesterday thru swapping, and this phone is awesome, but I was rather disappointed with the internal memory. Mines got 186mb of application space so I always get memory full prompts. I know there is a mod to increase the size.
I flashed paranoid android this morning and boy is it good looking
I just want to increase my internal memory and Id be happy with it
what's the maximum I can a lot to it?

OK first things first,
Are you familiar with the 'stuff' of the HD2? MAGLDR bootloader, ClockworkMod Recovery(CWM)? sd-ext partitions?
well I'm trying to learn this terms but this is gonna take a while I think,
the Previous owner has installed magdlr 1.13 and clockworkmod and I have flashed paranoid android rom this morning. So I do have a recovery
sd-ext partion not so much
**okay okay, you will need to do a lot of research about your device and using it to its full potential; too much that it can't be explained within one post **
but here is a method I found in xda of performing a sd-ext partition within cwm:
> GO to advance and then partition SD card
> Remember this will wipe the sd card so back everything up if need be
> Choose how much space you want, 1024mb is recommended, on the partition then then choose 0MB for swap
>PLEASE NOTE PARTITIONING WILL WIPE THE SD CARD!
>and hey presto your done
> from here you can install link2sd and your set to go. -note, you will need to read about link2sd before use. just search it
There are many benifits of this using EXT-Partition such as you apps will automatically transfer to your partition meaning you will free space on your internal storage!
apologies if there's any misinformation there, quite tired :$

ah I see, so basically the sd card will be detected as and internal card and I won't face memory full errors whenever uninstalling?
but I can just use link2sd app to transfer apps to sd card manually right?
I was wondering why I only have 186mb of internal memory wherein in GSM arena it says at least 512mb.
what I want to do is a phone modification to increase it, just in case the sd card was corrupted, I still have my apps on the phone memory
thanks for the reply though, if you can add something feel free :victory:

It says 186Mb because when you flash CWM, you also partition your NAND to run Android. Essentially, the storage you get is 512Mb-CWM partition size, although normally it's lower as there are probably things other than this installed to the NAND.
Thank you

Well it depends on the partition size you're currently using. If it's already the minimum for your ROM then no you can't increase the storage by repartitioning the NAND, but if it's any more than the minimum then you can increase this, by reflashing recovery with the correct size. Make a full backup in CWM first though.
so I reflashed 150MB recovery partition and flashed AOKP build by xylograph
now I have 217MB of internal memory
what should I flash so I can have more space?
the less is your recovery partition - more internal memory you get. Minimal recovery partition can be about 100 mb for some light roms I belive. So you can get 50 more mb than you hav now.
You've mentioned 300mb earlier, even if you get your desired 300mb it's gonna get filled up very soon.
I would advise you as was mentioned above to borrow 1gb from your sd card for sd-ext partition. Most of the roms support from the box (without intsalling any additional apps or scripts) sd-ext partition and install apps by default on that partiotion, Paranoid Android does, for instance, actually 80% of the roms do as well...
I don't know if it means anything, but you could look into a US HD2. Its got 1024 mb internal memory! That's double!
ok maybe ill experiment with this sd-ext partition
never had to deal with tgis when I was on defy
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661892
I installed AOKP in NAND & had only a few 100mb's available, I just used Link2SD & moved most apps/ games to SD. SD has no ext. part. yet. will do it latter when i get a 32gig card, now just testing a 4gig SD
Though I'm fairly techy, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to rooting.
Last night, I bought a Sandisk 8g card from Radio Shack. It came with an adaptor and cost about $7. I'm not sure of the class.
I had to follow bits and pieces from various threads because most were either outdated or left out important info.
Anyhow, I popped the adaptor in my HP laptop and wrote the card image to disk. Then I downloaded the latest CM10 nightly from 12/22 and I had to use an older gapps file because the latest one made the keyboard disappear.
So far things are working well except I'm already running out of space.
What am I missing?

Boot into recovery by holding the n button while powering up. Choose recovery from the menu. When the recovery menu comes up choose format SD card. Process should fix remaining space on the SD card so apps can use it. Reboot when done.
I tried what you suggested, but when it boots into recovery, it runs a few commands and then just shuts down.
It never gave me an option to format.
I tried it again and it still didn't work, but this time I looked at the commands closely when it was rebooting in recovery mode and it said something about "your sd card appears to be formatted correctly".
So maybe that's why it didn't ask.
I was going to try to follow some instructions I found online about partitioning using Mini-Tool Partition Wizard but the instructions kind of fell flat because I couldn't understand them well enough to follow them.
I did see the Fat32 partition, which is the 4th partition, and it is 5.8 GB, but 0 used.
There are actually two Fat32 partitions...the other one is the 1st partition, and it is 204 mb, all used. That is where everything is and why my phone thinks I'm out of space but I don't know how to fix it.
Any ideas?

in CWM recovery you did not see/select Advanced at the bottom of the first menu and Partition SD card in the second menu? Usually that fixes the fat32 partition for access.
In the CyanoBoot Universal Bootloader, the menu options are:
Internal eMMC Normal
Internal eMMC Recovery
Internal eMMC Alternate
SD Card Normal
SD Card Recovery
SD Card Alternate
When I select SD Card Recovery it says,
"Loading from SD Recovery"...
Then it goes into some Linux commands
Then it goes black.
The end.
Anyhow, I figured out how to expand the space in the first Fat32 partition using the Mini-Tool software...the only thing that bothers me is that all the instructions keep talking about the last partition but on mine the last partition is the second Fat32 section that has the 5.8Gb of space and you can't adjust it.
But I can adjust the first Fat32 partition and extend it out so that it takes up almost all of the 5.8gb.

You are not on a dual boot SD, you are on a single boot SD. It has the partitions set up so one rom can run there. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and look at section B. You will learn a lot about the card.

Using the Mini-Tool software to expand the first Fat32 partition to use up some of the unused space in the last partition was the answer.
I could have expanded it to take up almost all of the 5.8GB, but I left half of the space intact because I wasn't sure if it was needed for something or not.
I then clicked "Apply" and waited for it to process (reformat?) the sd card.
Then I also went ahead and updated to the next CM10 nightly while I was at it since the sd card was already open on my laptop.
After that I popped it back in to my Nook, booted in recovery mode, it went ahead and installed the newest nightly, and I'm off to the races.
Thanks for your help.

When you burned the SD image, did you use the rev 5 image from my updated installation instructions thread also linked in my signature? You need to because CM10 will display the wrong partition as sdcard (partition one instead of 4) if you use an older image. That may be why you were complaining about running out of space.

The reason I did not respond to this post is I don't understand what you are asking.
It is normal for the system to add a lot of folders to a new SD the first time it is inserted. But they are just empty folders and take no real space. How can there be 5GB files when you only installed a 2GB SD?
And the storage info in CM10 settings is misleading. The names for things are not consistent. The first internal storage is really /data and has nothing to do with your SD space or media space. And there cannot be 47GB of stuff there as /data is only 1GB in size. And the second internal storage is your 5GB internal media space.
And those wipe options in CWM do you no good. The only thing that might help is wipe dalvik when you flash a new ROM.
You do not have a virus, you just have things confused. Explain again what you want.

You just need to describe better what you are seeing. I don't think flashing a bunch of my zips are warranted until we know what is wrong.
Describe in words what the screens say. When you go to CM10 settings, and bring up storage, describe what you see completely.
When you look at your external sdcard with your file manager, what does it tell you?

Well, two things are obvious from those pictures. First, your SD is horribly corrupted. You need to do a full format of the SD in your PC with SDFormatter to fix it.
Second, you have one of the newer Nook Colors and your /data partition is 5GB. That 5GB cannot be used for storing media files. Your internal media file space (emmc) is only 1GB (your picture cuts that part of the screen off).
If you want to have that 5GB /data partition reduced to 1GB so your internal media partition becomes 5GB, then go ahead and flash my 145678 repair zip followed by a reboot and flashing the 5678 format zip. All of your data including saved files, will be lost. Then reinstall CM10.
But flashing those zips will not fix your external SD. You must reformat it with SDFormatter. And it may just be a bad SD where data gets corrupted when it writes. What brand and class is it?

Sorry in advance if it's a big no no to reply in a late thread, but I seem to have the same problem..
I'm running the 20130621 nightly of 10.1 although it did this on the RC5) on my nook color and it seems that it's corrupting my SD card on it's own.
I've tested it out on my 8GB and 1GB SD cards and everything seems to work just fine, until I actually save something or if an app like Apollo tries to cache something to the SD card (album art always shows up half way, like the album art got torn in half) after it saves (sometimes successfully, kinda hit and miss) it will not let me write to it anymore, and I have to pull it out to run chkdsk just for it to do the same thing over (I've done a reformat too from both my computer and the nook itself and that gives the equivalent results of chkdsk, minus the retention of data)
when it goes through it's no write thing, the storage tab says that there's much more data on the card than there is capacity (for example 13GB data written on 8GB card)
What's odd is say, an app caches something it'll say that the app storage is 8GB+ over the capacity or if I save a screenshot it'll say that photos are over capacity.
I also cannot write to the 1GB partition, nor format it if that's not supposed to happen
I also didn't seem to have this problem with my brief use of CM7(.2 I think)
Hi,
I have two Nook Color tablets that are running CM11 on SD. The SanDisk microSDs are 16GB each.
I have a constant problem that the space for Apps runs out. So I can't update apps or download any new. The only thing these NCs are used for are Apps. & web browsing. So I don't need alot of space for other tings like saving videos, music & files.
Is is possible to increase the size for the "volume" where the apps are saved?
Thanks in advance.

You must be running some very large apps because the space is already generous. But yes, you can use partitioning software to change the allocation. But you need to start over fresh. Make the SD and boot once before adding the CM rom zip. Use partitioning software like MiniTool and decrease the size of partition 4 (from the front of the partition), then expand partition 3 to fill the space. That gives you less for media and more for apps. Then install the CM zip and gapps.

Thank you for your information. I have now re-imaged (v1.3-largest-rev8c) the two 16GB SD-Cards with Win32diskimager, that i have for my two Nook Colors, installed "MiniTool Partition Wizard 9.0" & decreased the size of partition 4 [SDCARD(FAT32)] to 8.0GB. "Apply" on that & then start Resize partition 3 (Ext4) . But I can´t resize that one to use the unallocated space. Isen't it possible to resize an Ext4 partition?
Anyhow, My solution was to delete the third partition. Create a new Primary Ext4 partition. I diden't choose any Cluster size (1/2/4KB) more that let it be as "Default". This way I now have a 5.6GB third partition (for apps), instead of the default that had 1.9GB . I hope this helps me with my out of space problems. Installation of latest Nightly is running.
Unfortunately it looks like it diden't was successfull. The Cyanoboot only loops around now. It says "Loading..." then it gets black & after a while it start over again.
I suppose that the third partition wasen't empty. That't why it dosen't work for me.
Is it possible to re init that partition with data like the first run did? Or do we have another suggestion of partitioning program that can expand an existing Ext4 partition, in Windows, on a SD-Card?
I have now tried with "Paragon Partition Manager". Then it was possible to resize. But still the same problem with loop at boot after installing CM11.
Are there any limit of how large the third partition can be?
Hmmm... Now I have redone everything again, without any modifications to the partitions. But still the same problem, Cyanoboot just loops. Do we have a problem with the nightly? cm-11-20150405-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
The reason I told you to start over is an ext4 partition must be empty to be resized. And if you don't start really fresh your data will still be there. And by fresh I mean taking the card back to a full 16Gb and formatting it with a program like SDFormatter. Then you can reimage. And yes, you must not use new nightly on a new SD. You must start with CM11 CM11 or older. See my warning in the SD thread.

Win32diskimager with "v1.3-largest-rev8c"
Boot once so partitions are created
Decrease the size of partition 4 (from the front of the partition), then expand partition 3 to fill the space
Add the CM zip and gapps to SD-Card
Install the CM zip and gapps
Then I have done a new try, based on below steps,
SD Card Formatter V4.0 , Full(OverWrite) Took almost an hour for 16GB
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html
Used "Win32DiskImager 0.9.5" to write "generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8c.img"
SD-Card mounted in NookColor, start it up to create partitions & filesystem.
SD-Card back into PC,
Resize partitions 3 & 4 with "Paragon Partition Manager™ 14 Free"
Insert SD-Card in NookColor & start, to make sure it still boots.
SD-Card back into PC,
Copy...
cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-encore.zip
gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
... to SD-Card
Insert SD-Card back into NookColor & start it up, installation started to run.
After that the installation is finnished & that the NC it powered off. Power it up again & the CM11 will boot!
Success!
After first boot & configuration. I will update to latest Nightly, cm-11-20150405-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
Thank you for all help!

When you install the nightly (or any zip after M11), you will get an error message during install but you can ignore it. It only causes a problem during the FIRST install to the card. That's why you need to begin with M11.
