I've been running CM7 from my 16GB SD card for a few weeks now, and it's great to be able to get to my music from CM, but is it possible to make the B&N OS music player get to the CM7 SD card partition so I can read books while listening to music? I currently haven't rooted the stock OS, but wouldn't mind having to do so.
If you are willing to root have you considered an internal install of CM7? The process isn't very much different and you can restore to stock at any time. That would allow you to free the entire SD card up for music and other files.
If not you can move your files off the "SD" card that CM7 sees when booted into the card and put your music files or any other files on the internal memory so that those files are accessible to both the internal OS and the bootable SD card OS.

Follow the link in my sig for modding any rom... use the edits I show for your B&N 1.4.2... especially the one for vold.fstab
No need to root if you don't want.

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.
Sorry, but another basic question which I've searched for the answer but can't find an answer that makes sense to me.
I have an x8 running on Gingerdx v010. Runs great.
I have just been given a 8gb Micro SD Card, Class 10.
What's the best way to go about swapping the stock sd card with this new one - do i just copy and paste all off the old sd card onto my desktop, and then copy all that back to the new sd card?
Or do I need to partition the card in any special way?
I'm a beginner at this, so please don't get too technical!
I'd like to put some music on the new card, and I reckon i've got a few GB of albums etc to put on it. also, will probably try to put as much as possible on it to make sure there's plenty of available RAM in the internal memory.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
This is a really useful site - glad I found it.

bump... anyone?
Backup copy/move all the files in old sdcard to PC. Insert your new sdcard and boot, enter CWM>advanced option>partition sdcard>select 512mb>then zero swap. reboot. Then copy/move ur files to new sdcard You can also partition using windows You just need partition if you are installing many apps like me
Partitioning is not required, just copy data over from old card to new card.
Installed CM7.2 MiRaGe along with Go Launcher EX onto the eMMC recently and have a few questions.
Why do some apps require a SD card inorder to function even though the app itself installed on the internal storage (evernote, nook for android, etc)? If you open those apps, it will give an error saying it requires a SD card, I had to insert one and reboot inorder to use the app. looks like some directories were created on the sd card afterward so I assume some apps require to cache to it? I plan on having multiple cards so I can store movies on them. will I be able to hotswap the sd cards (meaning not having to power off or reboot)?
When I installed CM7.2, I just followed the directions within the thread. Should I have changed the partitions at all on the internal storage? any other tweaks do people usually make?

If you don't want to use an SD card there is a setting in CM7 just for that purpose. Many apps will not run without one. Go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, apps, and select use internal storage. It swaps emmc and sdcard. It fools apps into using your emmc media partition as 'sdcard'. And your real SD shows up as 'emmc' so you can hot swap and get your movies.
Hi
OK, so this is my question: I just installed LineageOS 15.0 on my XT1685 . And when I was using the stock ROM (N), I used my SD card to store pictures, videos, etc. After installing O, this option seemed to have disappeared for some reason. First, I couldn't get to choose save location from the stock camera app that came with the Gapps ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797336 ). Then I tried installing Open Camera, but then I got this issue with not being able to write to the SD card (see attachment).
At this point my SD card was formatted as "portable". And I just could NOT get Oreo to understand that I wanted to use it as a default for storing pictures and video. After a while I gave up, and re-formatted as "internal". Which basicly means that now the phone's storage and the external storage are kinda "integrated" in a way.. the SD has become a part of a greater whole..
Which leads me to my actual question...:
Why is it that I could not get it to work as it did on Nougat - as portable, basicly..
And also; how to get around this?
Just to be clear, this is a general Android question (I think), NOT a question specific to the Lineage ROM (which is awesome btw, imo!)
Thanks,

I have AOSP Extend Oreo on my g5+. I put open camera on my phone and was able to store pics on the SD card. However, it stopped working and won't store pics at all. I installed the native moto camera app, but it won't let me store pics to the SD card. I'm hoping someone can provide some assistance.
I am on stock Oreo and I currently use my SD as portable. Formatting the sd as Internal eventually led to 3 different corrupted sd cards after some time, so, if your problem is not software-related, try to stick to formatting the card as portable storage.
I only know a part of the problem, which is happening to me too: a while after restarting the phone, I open my SD card in any file manager (I have Total Commander) and it doesn't show any file but both the file manager and the system shows the Sd card's occupied and free spaces, and I've had to dismount and remount the SD card in order to be able to get to any file or folder of it, but several minutes later the files become impossible to access again.
