With cyanogenmod 6 I seem to get damaged sd card a lot. If my battery dies for instance and I plug it in I get it. Sometimes when I copy music to my phone from pc and after unmounting it I get it. I have to then format it to fix it. Never had this issue with stock. Anyone else experience this?
maybe the reson about app2SD. We move alot of app to SD.
And when we mouth SD card become flashdisk, we will have error about apps running on SD.
Hey all - I'm running CM7.0.3 on emmc on my Nook, and I love it. I've recently purchased an additional Nook Color for my girlfriend. She isn't so tech savvy, so I rooted her device to give her access to the market, etc., but left the stock B&N ROM on the Nook. I bought a 4gig SD card and used the size-agnostic installer from these forums to make a bootable CM7 SD card for her, since I know she wants the Netflix app, among others, that will not run on the stock ROM. If I boot from the SD card in MY Nook, and install gapps and Netflix, will those apps be installed to the CM7 SD card? Or will they be installed to the internal memory of MY device and not work in hers? I'd like to be able to prep the SD card before I give it to her so she can pop it in her Nook and be off and running. Thanks!
For Netflix, as an App it would normally load to your Nook's internal memory. However, you can change a setting in CM7 to load it to the uSD and then it should do so; or you can move it over manually. Not sure about the Gapps stuff though, it might be the same.
So I'm running CM7 off of a micro-sd card on my nook and it's going swimmingly. But, sometimes when an app wants to save something to the SD card (like Dolphin browser's gestures for example) it says that I don't have an SD card inserted. I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that I'm running the OS off the card, but there must be a simple way to fix this, right?
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.
Hello Everyone,
I have Spice Dream Uno Mi-498H upgraded to Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 (NOT rooted); Build number MMB29O. I am using Strontium Nitro 16Gb Class 10 MicroSDHC UHS-1 and it is formatted as Internal Storage after Marshmallow update. Also due to the low internal memory, I have moved all possible apps to thus formatted SD card.
Now the problem is after Marshmallow and movement of apps from internal memory to SD card formatted as Internal Storage, I am experiencing issues in booting this device. Whenever I boot (manually or automatically for no reason sometimes) it takes 1-4 hours to boot . NOT KIDDING. Let me clear myself on that, it boots and shows home screen BUT does not allow me to use ANY app. If I try to open any app, it just freezes. Then I have to remove the battery and restart the device and wait for another 1-4 hours :crying:.
Now as an additional info, I don't see any issue in booting this device if I remove SD card. In such instances, it boots instantly and allow me to use any app installed on the device like Youtube, Google Maps, Google Drive etc..
I am experiencing the above mentioned boot issue (or should I say boot delay?) each time the device is booted / restarted having SD card inserted (remember SD card is formatted as Internal Storage).
Could anyone advise me on this issue I am experiencing? Or do you think it has anything to do with SD card?
Thanks,
Rajesh
