Is there a documented process to take CM7 installed on an SD card, then reinstall the nook with that CM7 > onto the internal memory?

This is how I would do it.
1. Back up applications using Titanium.
2. Back up ADW Launcher settings and database
3. Mount the USB storage on a PC, copy Titanium folder and the two ADW files, plus any other app folders
4. Do a clean internal install of CM7 and gapps
5. Copy the backed up files onto a clean single partition SD
6. Set up basic CM7, wifi and gapps
7. Restore apps from Titanium. I would resist restoring system settings
8. Restore ADW Launcher files to get screens back how they were before.
I'm not a huge fan of ADW... Can something like Launcher PRO be used? Just curious - that's what I use on my Epic 4G

You can use a variety of Launchers. I mentioned ADW in the backup restore sequence as that is the default. If another Launcher has been set up on the SD card then one would have to substitute its backup and restore to get the layout back to where it was.
Thanks for that.
I got everything installed and working... now just working on getting SIP calls done... >GV-Callback + built in SIP<... I got it to answer a call but could not hear myself...

My Vibrants USB connector is screwy and im going to ask for a replacement. Once I get my replacement, how I do transfer my info?
Contacts and Calendar will automatically get transfered from Google.
With Titanium Backup - do I just copy that folder over from one internal SD to the other and then proceed to reinstall apps?
What about other app data, etc.. Should I just copy over folders from one to other? Would that work?

All of the above should work just fine.

I'll just echo shrivel and say you should be fine doing that however you will probably need to download the actual apps as the all's don't save with Titanium. Basically when you go to the market and download an app the apk is saved and installed on your phone what titanium will do is save all the data once you make a change to your phone say installing a Rom it wipes the data and uninstalls all of your apps. But it does not delete the apk so when you use titanium to restore it looks for that apk to reinstall it with the same data and setting. If you completely wipe your phone or copy the backup file to a new phone titanium will be looking for the apk to reinstall but its not there.
I know that was kind of long and if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

I'm doing this right now and cant seem to get it to work.
I have titanium and a friend backed everything up to my ext. sd card.
How do I get titanium to pull it off of the sd card? Or if I transfer it to the internal card in a folder (which is what its in) how do I get titanium to see the folder?
I can see the folder with astro on the internal card, but titanium doesn't see it?
What am I doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

your backup folder containing all the backups should be named TitaniumBackup and placed on the root of your internal sdcard. or you can specify the name of your backup folder in the preferences menu in titaniumbackup.
also, titianium backs up your app+data for you, so you don't need to re-download it from the market. if you want to backup other stuff like call log, text messages, home screen icons, phone contacts etc, use 'mybackup pro'
I feel like an idiot, How do I get to the root?
Do I have to use a computer to do it? or can I transfer the files there from the sd card or the internal memory?
Please be patient me

In astro if you press the home button it should take you to the root of the internal sd. Top should say that you are in directory /sdcard. Just move the TitaniumBackup folder to there and it should work.
EDIT: The home button in astro BTW, at the top under the notification bar, not the android home button on the bottom of the phone.
titanium backup folder is there and all the files are in it.
When I open up the app titanium back up, go to back up/ restore and then hit menu, batch, I don't see the files that are in that folder only whats on the phone as it came from tmobile (none of my apps and files)
What am I doing wrong or failing to do?
If your going back to the same kernel/ROM you can do a nandroid backup of your system files as well.
It seems that when i Install titanium backup the default location is the internal storage.
I had a N1 and i used titanium backup to the SD card. When i look in the Atrix it's looking at the internal location.
I would copy/paste but I can't seem to mount the internal storage of the phone? Do I have to use that godawful slow motorola phone portal?
Same thing with Launcher Pro. I'm trying to backup my N1 settings and it's just not happening.
It's been a while but try /mnt/sdcard
Edit; should have said to go into the preferences under Backup folder name and enter that.
External storage would be
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd
That's how they look on my Captivate.

This is what has worked for me

I have a small, albeit stupid question to ask. I stored mine to the internal. In the case of factory reset or phone break, how do we restore it?
Should I let it update BusyBox?
I have tried /sdcard-ext/TitaniumBackup
0 apps loaded.
I had to make the folder first on the external card >new folder > TitaniumBackup. then i set the path to /sdcard-ext/TitaniumBackup and it worked. I would take a screen shot if this phone were capable.
finally got it working...
had to uninstall and reinstall TIBU
also the patch that worked for me..
/mnt/sdcard-ext/TitaniumBackup
Just got CM7 and none of my apps and accounts transferred. My Titanium backup is showing on my SD Card in the file manager, but how do I move it from my SD Card to my phone so i can use it?

Make sure busybox is installed. Click have problems on the bottom of titanium and it will do it for you. Make sure install from outside sources is checked in the system settings under applications.
In titanium his the menu button to the right of home on the bottom of your phone. Hit batch. Scroll down and select restore apps. Select which ones you want to restore.
Profit.

My titanium only shows on my SD Card. I tried to restore my recovery to take it back to stock and now it won't go past the MYTouch screen..any help? Is it because I need another version of Clockwork?
And now i reflashed CM7 and I get stuck on that load screen. Someone please help!
Sorry guys, I really suck, and I am a complete noob. Obviously I can't run my recovery because of the version of clockwork I have. Fixed my cm7 using a previous thread...I just had to go into recovery and and advanced and wipe my danvlik cache..So now back to the root of the issue. On my cm7 I dont have the market or any of my apps. i have them all saved to my titanium backup, but the app for that is not on my phone, it just shows on my sd card through my file manager. So what do I do to use titanium?

Download the gapps from the cyanogen website and install. You will get the market back. With titanium, when you start hit the problems button then "yes do it" option, it will download the busybox and all you backups will show.
What is the best way to move from a SD based CM7 to a emmc CM7 and not loose any apps or data? I've been running off the SD card for several weeks and am ready to move to the flash based setup but don't want to loose any data or apps. I may also want to be able to dual boot into the Nook 1.2. Currently running CM7 41, OC Kernel 04/04/11, and dualboot menu all off the SD card.
Thanks,
jmak
+1. Little help?
Thanks!
titanium backup your apps/data, then install fresh copy on emmc, then restore all
I thought about doing the reverse, emmc to sd but that thought went away after a few minutes

How do you use titanium backup to do the restore since the backup is stored on the original SD card that was used to boot CM7? Do you have to copy the backup files to another card to do the restore?

yes,
-do the backup,
-copy the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder to your computer (via adb/cifs-wifi/dropbox/ESFileExplorer/whatever)
-install your prefered ROM
-copy to sdcard/TitaniumBackup from your computer's copy
-batch restore (i'd buy titanium pro if you have many apps, if not, it will ask to confirm restoring one by one)
Flashed MikG last night from a stock EVO. All went well. Used Titanium to restore some of my programs but others that were on the SD card I don't want any longer and I'm sure there's data on that SD card that is now not used and just taking up space. My question: Is there a way to safely clean unwanted stuff off an SDcard?
Maybe a better option would be to install a new, blank SDcard, let the ROM configure it and then use Titanium backup to reinstall only the programs that I want?
go to the folder named titanium and erase the files for the apps you dont want anymore, also look on the root of the sd card for folders created by this apps, they are usually named like the apps

So unlike an OS you can just delete the apps folder on the SDcard?
I just got a new SDCard. If I installed that blank card I take it the ROM would configure it ok or do I need to copy anything over from the old SDcard first? I'd like to start off with a clean SDcard and then reinstall my apps.
i do it all the time never had any problems, just make sure you don't do that to any off the sprint bloat folders, you leave those alone and sprint apps you just freeze not uninstall you never know when you might need them, plus if you freeze them and your phone starts acting weird you can always defrost them, but if you uninstall them and it acts up you got trouble.
