[Q] CM9/CM7 Out of space, but computer showing 27GB available

Hello all,
I have CM9 nightly installed on a 32GB microSD and I have just run into a weird problem. I still have 27GB left open BUT when I try to download magazines and install apps, it's saying I'm out of room or running out of room. Anyone have any idea why that might be?
Is it possible it's installing things to the EMMC? If so, how do I change that?
Sorry if this a n00b question. Thanks in advance for your help.

Android has 3 major areas where stuff is stored. The system partition holds all the OS stuff plus has an area for system apps. The data partition is were downloaded apps get stored normally. The media or sdcard area is normally used for music, videos, pictures and also where some apps store any working data.
The system and data areas are of relatively fixed sizes even though they are all on the actual SD card. For your 32GB SD card it is probably "460M system, 975M data, rest is FAT for sdcard" from veryGreen post.
So your error message is being triggered probably because the 975M data partition is full. Typically this enough to hold about 150 - 200 apps depending on their size, but some games can take quite a lot.
You can check memory usage by going into settings and looking under apps.
What can you do about it? On an SD card install the simplest way is to use ANdroids capability to move apps from the standard data partition to the sdcard partition. Not all apps can be moved but many can and this will then free up space in your data partition.
Get the Apps2Sd app to help you manage this process.

I haven't run from a sdcard in quitevawhile, buy it sounds like the card didn't get repartitioned after making it into a bootable. After you burn an image to a card, you need to use an application like Easus, a disk partitioning tool (free for home use for windows, I believe) t repartition the card and make use if the remaining space.

I think the partitioning must have worked otherwise it wouldn't function at all.
You could change data partition size to give more space to the data partition if you are careful. I've done that on emmc prior to install. I've never tried it on an SD card after install and it's possible it might muck something else up. However, the basic point is that apps and related content go into data by default. The big part of the SD card left over from the initial install is intended for media.
Compare it to a phone. The data partition in the internal phone memory is fixed and can run out of space if lots of apps are installed. If you plug an SD expansion card into a phone it allows you to store lots music, video, etc but unless you move apps to the SD card then your original data space is unchanged. That's why app users can complain if a memory hungry app can't be moved to SD.

Maybe you can teach me something here. I am not sure I understand.
When I formatted an 8 gig card to run cm7.1, I was able to use it to boot but had the rest of memory unavailable for use. It wasn't until I redid the process and then reformatted the partitions to have the remaining space available. Only then was I able to use the remaining 6 gigabyte or whatever. I had the four partitions in both instances, and the card worked, it just wasn't available because all the space was allocated to the wrong partition. Which I rectified with Easus, I'm pretty sure.
What I guess I am saying, isbthat there are some tools that could be used, although I maybe wrong. It just seems counter-intuitive that the OP should have to use App2SD and otherworkarounds when theybhave 32 gigs to play with. I think Easus lets you define those partitions anyway you like, with the 29 gigs or so that is left once you allocate the system stuff.
Like I sad, I maybe just don't understand this very well, it is something I did when I was first learning about rooting, before I figured there was no real reason not to go internal.

The various partitions have different purposes. It's not that they are unavailable for use. You want each area to have sufficient room for what you want but not necessarily too big because that then is wasted and is subtracting from the other areas.
First there is the boot partition containing the boot images. This can be small.
Next you have the system partition (~500MB) which can be fairly small because the OS does not take a lot of room and the system apps are relatively fixed in size and you don't need to add extra to that.
Next you have the data partition where downloaded apps and some of their associated data lives. You want this to be fairly big to accommodate a decent number of apps but it doesn't need to be huge. Apps vary in size from 100s of Kbytes up to say 20MB or more. So a 1GB data partition can typically hold about 200 apps.
On an SD card that then leaves the rest of space for a sdcard partition where media can be stored like video, pictures and music plus some apps will also require some working space on there.
So on an SD card install the main balance is between data and sdcard. If you were to make the data partition larger to accommodate more downloaded apps then you reduce the amount of space for music, video etc. But you do want enough space to hold a decent number of apps. The standard verygreen SD card installer sets the balance at ~1GB data and the rest sdcard for media. Now if you never wanted to put much media files on the SD card and you want to be able to download thousands of apps then that would be an argument for setting the balance the other way.
Now if you install to the internal memory the same scenario applies but you have an additional partition confusingly called emmc. Your boot, system and data areas are on the internal memory. The left over internal area is the emmc partition and the sd card is now normally set up to be a single sdcard partition.
Both the emmc and the sd card are typically used to hold media files.
The size of the data and emmc partition in the internal memory can be varied before you do the install by some partitoning zip tools and there is a thread dedicated to that.
By default as supplied new Nooks have a 5GB internal data partition and a 1GB emmc. Many people think that is not a great choice as it is really difficult to run out of app space with 5GB and it means there is only 1GB internal space for media and the unused data space is wasted. By repartitoning to say 2GB data and 4GB emmc then you get plenty of space for apps and release space for more media.
You are right that using something like Apps2Sd would seem unnecessary when you have lots of free space. It is effectively a work-around to let you use some of the sdcard as extra data area if you run out of the data area that has been allocated. Actually on an SD card install there is not much of a downside in that moving an app from data to sdcard as it is still all on the same SD card. For an internal memory install it is nice to have a big enough data partiton to make moving apps to the SD card unnecessary.

[Q] Apps to EMMC?

So searching thru the threads here it seems that the only way to utilize the EMMC memory on the Nook Color is to repartition the NC so that it all looks like internal phone memory? Is this correct or has there been a way found to utilize both the EMMC memory area AND the SD card?

Not sure what you are asking specifically but you do not have to repartition the Nook to look like internal phone memory to use the internal memory.
1. You can use the internal memory stock or rooted and you can repartition the internal memory so that the system and data allocations are to your preference. Typical partitioning is 1GB system and 5GB data. Plus whatever size SD card you insert.
2. You can install a custom ROM and the use of internal memory is the same as above with the standard being 1/5GB. Plus whatever size SD card you insert.
3. You can run a ROM on a bootable SD card where the ROM sees 1GB of the card as "internal memory" (also some space is used for the system and ROM) and the rest of the space on the card is seen as "SD card external memory." You can also mount the data partition of the Nook's internal memory so that the bootable ROM on the SD card also sees another data partition of 5GB. This is handy for items you want to appear to both the Nook's internal ROM and the ROM on the bootable SD card.

I'm not clear what you are asking either. Before I repartitioned I had 1/5 and ran apps that I worried about load times on from eMMC. Stuff like flashlight or aldiko that I don't sweat that much I loaded from the SD card. Because I felt the 5 was going to waste I flipped it to 5/1. Now I ignore the loss of the 1, load everything I run to the 5 and have 32 to store books, movies, music or whatever on. (Technically I could make use of the 1 if I wanted to but it's not worth it to me.)

I have 5 gig sitting there doing nothing in EMMC partition. I would like to be able to access this memory as well as the external 8 gig card i have in it. Right now the space on the EMMC partition never gets touched.
So will the nook start to auto install to the EMMC partition if I fill up the one gig partition? or is it just going to sit there unused.

Except if you changed something in settings, the original installation place is the EMMC.
In case you fill all this space there, then you will have to start installing apps to SD.
For me there is no reason to install directly to EMMC, except if some app only runs from there and therefore should be installed only there (like widgets).

after the install of CM 7.2 the auto setting places apps in the 1 gig partition and apps2sd moves them to the 8 gig external card. the 5 gig EMMC partition is completely untouched.
If I fill up the 1 gig partition will they move to the EMMC? if not it appears this space will be completely wasted. I would prefer to use it as that frees up space to put music/media files on the SDcard for road trips.
I only leave apps on the internal memory I want to run faster. I noticed with my phone that once that spot start to fill up the phone runs noticeably slower.

No and Yes. Unless you go to Settings>Cyanogemod settings>Application> check Use internal storage
Then you will lose the SD card and gain the 5G. You can easily go back by unchecking it again whenever you want to. (That's why I did what I did with the partition swappy stuff.)

It's there, you can put anything you want in it, the question is whether the apps you use can find the files you've stashed there. Some apps can, some can't.
BeyondPod (RSS feeds) lets you put its storage anywhere you want, so I moved that and my music into /emmc, and Music found the mp3s without me having to tell it anything. I don't buy many mp3s from Amazon, so I don't know how that interacts.
Also, I swap to /emmc, which is still an experiment in progress.

No, it won't do it automatically unless you always use it, like another poster suggested.

To further clarify, once the system partition is full that's it, the only thing else it does is tell you it's full. No rolling over, no starting to install elsewhere.
All Settings>Cyanogemod settings>Application> check Use internal storage does is trick the NC into thinking the internal memory is an SD card. When you have that checked and are loading all your apps to the External memory by choosing Settings>Cyanogemod settings>Application>Install location>External you are loading them to the 5G.
The bad part about it is that you can only use one or the other, if you load a bunch of stuff to the 5G and then switch to the SD card, (uncheck the Use internal storage box), you won't be able to count on the stuff on the 5G to load properly. Same with if you load a bunch of stuff on the SD and change to the 5G.
*I've* chosen to repartition the system partition to 5G and the eMMC to 1G. 5G is so much more that I should ever need for apps it's ridiculous and because I have a 32G SD card I can just forget about the 1G.

I suppose I should repartition but I don't want to have to wipe and reinstall everything.

I waited till I had a genuine Sandisk class 4 16G SD. I know you shouldn't have to worry if you aren't booting from it but what the heck.
Oh and Titanium Backup is your friend. It'll even get your wallpaper back. The only thing I had to manually reload was the custom boot animation.

i tried titanium with my phone and it failed horribly haha. but I will try it again. i would like to have access to that space. also need to try loading my mp3s to it via the PC. that may work as well.

Download the latest Titanium and backup. If possible save the *.apk file to your SD Card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371 Choose the "c" repartition option. After completing the repartition and format you will have a virgin install of whatever ROM you are running. Either install Titanium from the apk or download it again and do a restore, (note the amount of memory you have at the bottom). If I remember right you have to click install and done for every third party app you have but what the heck, it's better than setting there watching pixels burn. Once the restore is done look at the memory stats in Titanium again and note what memory got used. Reboot one last time and you are done.
As for the mp3's, I do all that kind of stuff through Samba. The only time I plug a wire into the NC is to charge it. I guess you could take the SD card out to do that but I've been given to understand we want to avoid taking that in and out where ever possible as well.

Another alternative to above Titanium BU tip is to sync your BU to Dropbox, zip it and after reinstall of ROM upload your zipped BU file into the SD folder Titanium makes when first installed, unzip, overwrite, and everything's there. I've never had trouble with this method. And it's fast...

[Q] Anyway to make use of whole internal memory for sideloading ebooks?

I want to make use of internal memory of NC to sideload ebooks so, is there anyway to do it?

That depends on many things. What you mean by sideload, what you mean by internal memory, what rom you are running, and whether running on SD or emmc, what ebook reader you are using, how new your nook is, etc.
Ordinarily most ebook readers expect the book themselves to be stored on sdcard. Since you earlier said you were from India, I doubt you are running either the Nook ereader app or the Kindle app since both of them require registration. So whatever ereader you are using may let you change where books are stored.
And by storing on internal memory, I assume you mean on the internal media partition (emmc). That is the only place internally where media like ebooks can be stored. On the newest Nook that media partition has been reduced to 1GB of memory (from the previous 5GB). That is a lot of room if you only want to store ebooks there since they are not very large. But if you put other things there, you can run out of storage fast.
If you are running CM7, there is a setting to swap emmc media for sdcard so that programs use emmc to store things. But usually that setting is used for people that have no sdcard and have to use emmc to store things.
It would help if you explained a little more what you want.

My ereader is nook color v1.4.3 running stock without rooting (without registration).
I want to make use of the emmc to store my ebooks which are not downloaded from B&N store.
And I want install cm7 on a SD card and use it as a tablet only when i need to.
So my question is - Is there any way to bypass the 1 GB limit, so that I can use all the available space in emmc?
If it is possible by rooting, can rooting be undone by following the method in http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM ?
Thanking You

If you want to root your stock and have the ability to return to non-root, the best way is to make a bootable CWM SD and do what is called a nandroid backup. It takes a snapshot of everything as you have it now and puts that backup on an SD. You can also use that CWM SD to help you root stock. We told you earlier how to do that. Then after you have been using rooted stock for a while and you decide to go back to non-rooted, just use the CWM SD to restore the backup and it will be like it was before. Look at my tips thread and item A10 to see how to make the CWM SD.
To gain access to the full 5GB of available space for media storage on internal, follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14101197
As part of that repartition procedure he has you doing a nandroid backup with a CWM card anyway. So just do the repartition procedure before you root and you will have your backup.

[Q] storge plroblem in cm10

Good night to all, well last night i install lates cm10 nightly (20130414) every thing good exept the storge problem but i found a way to use the 5 gb as storge i only use it for internet and games but when i want to download something it asks me for an sd card so i put in my 2gb sd card only for download and then i will transfer to the 5gb partition, but here comes the real problem:
When i insert my sd evertying is going well but after few moments my os put in the sd junk files that goes up to 5gb of space each, and my settings say i have in apps 42.70 gb of storge and 1.8gb free storge kind of wierd after that i cant write in it or copy from it and it becomes useless i dont know if i upgrade it wrong or if any parttition has some kind of virus(because the junk files looks like virus) in clockmod recovery i saw it has these options: formmat System, data, cache, sdcard, sd ext, wipe battery status and what most took my atention was wipe Dalvick cache does this has to do something please help me resolve this problem i know many are having this isisue too

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?
I am just in the dark here by your current descriptions.
I guess you could upload pictures to mediafire and PM me the links.
If all of the issues you are seeing are with the SD, then try formatting it with SDFormatter that you can get free on the web. See, I don't even know what you are having issues with.

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?

If you are fine with using the 5GB /data, just leave everything as it is.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD

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)

Can we mount ext partitions?

Hello all,
Now that we have root on our aesthetically unique device, I believe our next problem is storage space. I don't know about you all, but my aquos crystal has about 4 gb to work with when it comes to apps. Folder mount works well for me, as far as linking the obb files of large apps to the external sd card, but I still have to store a portion of any particular app on the phone's internal storage, which for me is no bueno. There has to be a better way. (For the sarcastic among you, buying another phone is not an option for me.)
Back in the day of Gingerbread, I remember having a whopping 300 mb of app storage to work with. I was able to partition a portion of my external sd to be used as internal storage for the device, solving all my storage woes. It worked so well, that I was sure that I would be able to find a similar method for the aquos crystal.
Now, I see that Link2sd is able to work with ext2, ext3, ext4, and fat32 partitions, so I figured I would attempt to create a ext2 partition on the micro sd to link to my internal storage directory. I used the Partition Wizard mini tool to create a ext2 partition in windows. Unfortunately after starting up Link2sd and selecting the format of my ext partition (ext2), Link2ds gives me an error telling me that the mount script was unable to be created. I've read that if we get this error, we can select ext4, even if we are using a different partition format. This got rid of the error. Mount script was successfully created. Autolink is selected, which should install new apps directly to the new partition. It doesn't, not for me at least.
I've read several guides around the internet dealing with this issue, as well as completely different methods besides Link2sd, and nothing seems to work for me. My goal in this is to supplement the capacity for apps. I would love to find a way to store all the library, devlik, and app files for each app on the external card, rather than having to keep some of each app on internal, and its larger counterparts on external. As you know, apps are constantly updated, and what seems to happen is if you install an app, then link it to the sd card, and the app gets updated in the future, the updated portion will get installed on the internal card, making your 'linked' app kind of pointless. What I'd really like to do is disregard the phone's internal storage altogether and use something like a 64 gb card as the phones internal storage. This may or may not be possible.
I'm not a programmer. I have a very basic understanding of how these things work. When it comes to things like this, I am literally standing on the shoulders of giants, and benefiting from their tenacity and willingness to share the fruits of their labors. Their exploits, and the internet that tells their story, have allowed me to root and modify practically every console and android device I've ever owned. With that being said, thank you to all that have been involved in unraveling the real potential of this device.
So, do any of you fine saints and scholars know of a way to get around the feeble storage capacity of our aquos crystal?
