Hello first I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone that has put time and effort into making the Nookie what it is today....but I have a noob question.
I recently got a 16gb micro SD and can successfully get the 0.6.8 Nookie to run on my nook color, my problems start when I try to "recover" my other 13gb's. Before I get burned and tossed aside I have checked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922324&page=92
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883175&highlight=partition&page=103
and about 5 other pages and they all say the same thing..use EASEUS, grab the slide bar and voila. It appears to work but when I install it in the NC it either becomes very unstable or just boots to the NC as if the SD card was not there.
Anyone have any ideas?

I use Lexar Bootit ....a free utility...to format and flip the bit that says its a removeable drive, then your windows pc drive management can see and format it as full capacity fat32.
Hey thanks for the tip, unfortunately it won't work. I forgot to mention that I followed this tutorial ..... and updated my driver (saved my original Windows just in case) to a hitachi driver and now I can switch my SD memory card forth "removable" to "logical" and back when needed. Once I get it as a logical drive I was EASEUS to increase the size of partition 4 (SD Card)..but again no dice!!!
Seeing that I am a noob I can't post the link to the tutorial but I'll say it worked like a charm and when I want to go back to the original I just need to "roll back" the driver.
Well, a couple of things:
Are you using a Sandisk card? Sandisk class 2 and 4 cards have been found much more stable than most others for running a ROM from SD, and problems with SD installs often go back to the card.
Any particular reason you went with Nookie Froyo? It has pretty much fallen out of use since the NC's stock OS was updated to Froyo in May. If you want an SD install, there's a simpler, size-agnostic method for CM7, which is also a more robust and capable OS and a more advanced version of Android (Gingerbread 2.3.4 rather than Froyo 2.2). I would recommend CM7.1 RC1, or if you're adventurous, Nightly 136.

Thanks for the info unfortunately I am using a 16gb PNY, class 4 and at $15 I couldn't pass it up...looks like I should have done some more reading first. Really I have no clue why I am using the Nookie, my wife said said that was the one she wanted. I think she just likes saying "Nookie", but I'll give the CM7 a go and see what trouble I can get into.
thanks again...
Taosaur...I was able to get the CM7 mod up and running in no time flat. Now the wife wants me to see if I can get bluetooth working.
You said "I was able to get the CM7 mod up and running ...." so I assume you got your problem fixed. That's good.
About bluetooth.
1. Turn off Wifi
2. Power off NC
3. Power on NC
4. Turn on bluetooth
5. Turn on wifi

Yep, I had to do the above the first time I turned on bluetooth, but haven't had any trouble toggling it on and off since then. Just open notifications (that broken-circle-and-arrow button on the status bar) and you have toggles there for Wifi, bluetooth, and a couple other things.
@ Taosaur,
I've seen your signature indicate you are running nb136, any change or improvement (both slightly and/or significant) over the previous ones?

I haven't done much but read and browse a little since I flashed it, but I haven't noticed any difference from 7.1 RC1, which wasn't really any different from Nightly 102 I had before that. I mostly just flashed this time for the integrated OC/Tweaks kernel, without the video/lag problems that were reported in 132-134.
Thanks for an update, m8
maybe someone can help me, i'm about to loose my mind here trying to figure this out. i'm using a Sandisk class 4 16gb card running CM7 with the OC kernal.Did all of this using the size agnostic install method. everything is working fine but i can't for the life of me figure out how to access the rest of the space on my SD, when i insert the sd card into my PC it just shows up as the 115mb partition. i've tried using EASeus, the lexar bootit, and some other partition tool with no luck. with Easeus i select the 13gb FAT32 partition and make it active and thats it right? does it need to be logical? and which partition am i resizing?

None of the above. Windows will only recognize the first partition on a SD card, and when you make a SD bootable, that first partition will be the boot partition. To access the larger storage partition, connect your NC with CM7 running to the PC over USB. Open notifications on the NC, tap through "USB connected" to the USB screen, and "Turn on USB storage." Windows will now detect two storage drives, NookColor (the system partition, where apps install) and SDcard (the large storage partition).
The only time you'll want to remove the card from the NC and plug it into your PC is when you want to put on a new cm...zip update file to flash a new ROM.
I used the size agnostic install method with a 16gb PNY calss 4 SD and after all the steps were completed I was showing 13.8gb free for my SD card when I looked at in on the NC. Not believing my eyes I pulled it out and looked at it with EASUS and it showed partition 4 as 13.8gb (utilizing all the cards remaining space). I then downloaded a few things and added a few books for my wife and the space shrank to 13.4gb. As stated above your computer wont show it.
In short have you looked on the NC under "Storage" (I think that is were I found it) and verified you don't have the full capacity already?
Also there is another method I needed to use when I was messing with an earlier version (Nookie) that allowed me to see an SD card as a "Local Device" so windows would let me see all partitions on the hard drive. I can't post a link until I have more posts but email me and I can send you the link if interested.

thanks, well that got me some where. i connected nook to PC, turn on storage mode and it shows E/F drive. click either one and it says "Please insert disk into removable disk E/F" so then i turn off debugging and the nook color internal memory pops up as drive F, while clicking on drive E gives me the same error as above. any ideas? btw i'm on Windows 7 64bit, do i need any kind of special drivers or anything?
It is because windows will only allow you to manipulate the first partition on an SD card...even if it "sees" the other partition as another card it will not do anything with it. EASEUS will show you all the partitions on the SD.
The only way I got Windows to see all the partitions and do anything with them was to change my driver via the "Hitachi fix" If you google Hitachi driver SD card you will find it. I used this site and even though it is long it did exactly as advertised and now I install this driver when I need to format just the partition of an SD card and then "roll back" the driver when I'm done. It tricks windows into thinking it is a local device instead of removable. www/1src/com\forums\showthread.php?t=133718

S/he really doesn't need Windows to do anything with those other partitions--I suspect messing with them was where s/he went wrong in the first place.

I suggest you start over, because you probably damaged your install when you were messing with the partitions earlier. I'm also using Win7x64, and no, I didn't need any special drivers. Delete all partitions except "SDcard" in EASEUS, expand that partition to the whole card, then write verygreen's image to the card again and re-install. At that point, you should be able to access storage over USB from CM7 without turning off debugging or taking any other special steps other than "Turn on USB storage."

alright i'll give it a shot when i get home from work. is the verygreen image the same one found in the CM7 size agnostic SD thread?
"http://crimea.edu/~green/nook/generic-sdcard-v1.3.img.gz"
and when i delete all partitions except for "SDCARD" do i need to make that partition logical or active or anything?
again thanks for your help.

No, in fact you might be able to write the image without messing around in EASEUS at all--I'm just not sure if WinImage (or whatever) would write to the whole card or just one partition. I know if you tried to format it, Windows would only format the boot partition.
hi all,
I cannot see or mount my sd card. It can be read and written in PC, but my u8800 can't see it.
I loaded 2.3.5 official. After some search I rooted it somehow and installed "x5 settings" application (I dont remember why I installed it, damn). After using "selecting internal/external memory" area and rebootings, my sd card cannot be seen by the device anymore. When I plugged, there is an option "turn on usb storage" but it doesnt work, just turning and waiting when clicked. In the storage settings "mount sd card" doesnt do anything.
I formatted the sd as fat32, tried using it when backups restored and not restored. But doesnt matter.
Btw, my internal sd is completely free (as i see in the storage settings) but i cannot see it when plugged in the computer neither.
any help will be appreciated,
ismail
edit: when dload of 136 is in the memory card and opened in pink screen, it gives an "update failed".
edit2: 138 and 162 does the same, update failed. Again, i cannot reach my internal sd.
edit3: the problem may be not the sd card (update fails because I try to downgrade from 526 to 1xx). however i cannot reach internal sd. making downgrade from internal sd may solve the problem, anyone knows a way to reach it somehow?
Have you tried the trick to remove the battery and put the phone to charger and then installing? And after install you put battery back. Also make sure that there is free space in sd. Also make sure there is free space in sdcard. 500MB should be enought.
I put the b136 rom inside sd card. When battery out, if i plug the device, it starts normally. But if <power+-> combination is used when plugging, it goes to the pink screen and waits.
there are 14 gb free space in external and 2 gb in internal sd card.
btw, thank you for your reply.
I think you can mount internal sd in ubuntu while in pinkscreen. This requires you to have ubuntu and unlocked Bootloader. To install ubuntu, use WUBI, which is easy way to have it with windows. Blefish has posted a way to unlock to bootloader. There is a link for it in my signature. After these are ready, plug your phone while it's in pinkscreen to ubuntu, and search for 2gb partition. Then pud dload there and continue like you normally do.
I'm using Ubuntu right now I ll give it a try, thanks again.
edit: tried, but as far as there is no sd card mounted, it seems there is no way to unlock the bootloader. (error: /sdcard/bootloader.bin: cannot open for read: No such file or directory)
On project menu, which is accessible by *#*#2846579#*#*, there is an options menu for sdcard. I think that needed Google option to be enabled. Try to play with the options there(reboot after a change).
Also from X5settings, choose external memory.

There was google mode selected, i tried the others also. No change. imo, source of all the problems is the "x5 settings". I had installed and remove it many times, but before the last uninstall, i changed the option to "external". Now i dont have x5 settings enabled, and dont know how to reinstall since there is no sd.

no, i dont have CWM right now, before the sd card issue, I was trying to install it but the bootloader problem was preventing me.
can you try to install b518 or b517? they are official 2.3.5 betas, but with unlock bootloader.
I am downloading them and will try both.
edit: didn't work. "update failed" problem.
i cannot install CWM because there is no sd card mounted.
also cannot make bootloader work because there is no CWM and sd card.
So not able to install any custom rom from bootloader.
And since my version is b526, i cannot downgrade. (i dont know if the reason impossibility of the downgrade or the sd card problem or not mounting internal sd.)
I will wait the next (final) version. For now, i gave up. Thanks for all
Hello Guys!
Searched the whole day for a solution bút nothing really answers my questions, so i will post here.
Is there any chance of moving apps from DeviceMemory (2GB) to the internal USB-Storage (11GB). I tried to use App2SD and tried it with the Android Onboard Tool but nothing will do it. It just keeps moving to external SD.
When the external SD is removed and you try to move an app there is just the advice: "not enough memory".
Addition: My memory option in settings looks like this:
http://s14.directupload.net/images/120513/3rhplf49.png
Total Memory: ~11GB
Other Data (red) - will show what u really use PLUS the amount of the external SD card
Is that the Problem that the OS thinks like in this Pic the USB Storage is too full (more full than its total size ^^) and let you only move to external SD?
Ok, long story short: Is there a way to move apps to the internal USB Storage?
Thanks!
Have you looked to see what's on you're internal sd? Remember that it won't be wiped by a normal ROM flash unless you specify, so data will build up flash by flash.
Sorry, I know it sounds pedantic, but first thing to try.
what spec phone do you have?

If i move an app from applications in settings with the command "move to SD" i will see in the Storage overview that the device Storage gets smaller and the storage from external SD gets bigger.. The USB-Storage (internal SD) stay the same.
The path for the files were /mnt/asec (?) there i found some files..
And the thing with non wipe and data: Got my Note as off. ICS LPY was released and flashed it out of the box with ICS. There is nothing from older roms..
What do you mean with Spec Phone? I have a Austrian Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with official ICS LPY on it running..
PS: The problem with apps cant move to internal storage is also on Galaxy S2 present.
Can anyone try to move apps from device to the internal storage? I think that its a bug in ICS.
First things first, I would recommend downgrading to stock GB, check out Dr. ketans thread in the stickies of the ROM development thread.
It seems unlikely, but since your on lpy, there's a possibility that your data is corrupt, have to say am not sure about this at all.
There's also a thread about the issues with lpy, lpf kernel that's worth reading from abisahara.
Please, anyone else have any further recommendations, please ignore me.

------
double-post sorry..
First of all thanks for your attempt to help me out.
But whats the sense of downgrading? And nope, data isn´t corrupt can move things from pc to the phone without any problem, everthing is OK.
The only problem is to move Apps to internal USB-Storage (11GB) that wont work. There are others too with this problem and their phone never touched custom rom or anything, just the official ICS OTA Update.
Btw. i remeber i saw peopole with Galaxy S2 with the same problem on the net.
You have a Note too - try it for yourself to move apps from Device Mem (2GB) to Internal USB.Storage (11GB). I bet it wont work. Its not a special problem to me i think its a general problem.
Also is the data corruption not an effect from wiping? Havent wiped my phone yet one time..
regards.
Data corruption occurs from any large data movement, weather it's wipe, or deleting large files, there's suggestion that 2GB is the danger point but I experienced issues after writing a 500mb file that started fcs across the board.
I'm more than likely overreacting and apologies for this. Maybe someone with more experience can help better.

Hey.
Just forget the data corruption, man! I´m fine with this till now and that doenst belong to my problem..
I just want to put some apps (e.g angry birds) to my internal USB Storage and that dont work i only can move apps to the real external SD, other people have the problem too and i want to know if this is on all ICS releases from Samsung with splitted memory??
@Jaysus88, I understand your problem and frustration since I have the exactly same problem and frustration. After some search, I feel the problem may be because some phone manufacturers disabled the "Move to USB storage" capability. BTW, my phone is Samsung Galaxy Note-N7000 with ICS.
I just registered the account to share potential solutions. I was suggested two solutions (I haven't got chance to try them myself yet):
1. Root the system and somehow re-partition the internal storage to increase "Device memory" (and shrink "USB storage").
2. Add an actual SD card and "Move to SD card" instead of "Move to USB storage".
(just realized that new users cann't post links :-( )
Both 1 and 2 have limitations that I don't know for sure:
For 1, is it really possible to re-size the storage partitions after rooting the phone?
For 2, ICS may not support some SD cards; moving too many apps to SD card may also cause rebooting issues for Android (we can easily find a lot of complaints about this issue, such as the Android issue id 25563 on google code).
If you find another more robust solution, I would love to hear about it! This is another reason I registered my account.
Hi!
Found that in Themes & Apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652079
This will change the mounting points for external and internal SD. It should work.
For myself i leave it as it is.
<rant>
I just accidentally formatted my 32GB microSD card and lost a cr4pload of important data because CWM and CyanogenMod have opposing views on which mountpoint to use for internal/external storage. I knew this going in, and I took a chance when formatting so I'm not blaming anyone here but myself. However, GODDAMMIT I wish someone would pick a standard and STICK with it. I see that in CM10 now, we have sdcard0/sdcard1. I wonder if CWM will follow suit...?
</rant>
Get your sd card out of the phone and plug it into your pc.. There's loads of tools to recover your data intact
Just Google some... As for that issue well I have 3 android devices the only 1 with this issue its note.. What I do its to create 2 empty folders called AAAAEXTSD and ZZZZEXTSD so when ever I gotta do stuff from where ever or to where ever I know Wich memory I'm on..
Just a workaround
Enviado desde mi GT-N7000 usando Tapatalk 2
Thanks dude. I used Recuva and managed to get SOME data back, but half of it was incomplete (probably Recuva's fault).
The problem with your workaround is that you have no way of seeing what is on the sdcard from CWM.
Storage in general seems to be ... strange. Even in CM9 itself unter Settings -> Storage, there is only one format option. It says "Format SD Card", but it appears under the "Internal Storage" header. God knows which memory that actually formats; I'm not about to try it.

i always take out my external sd before i do any formatting in cwm..pain in the arse but its foolproof
Best n safe way to format sd card is to connect to pc as mass storage and format
@op
Search undelete application from market, if you cant get, search 'root call blocker' and find appl developed by same developer.
If this can help to recover data.

I hacked a pair of NC's for my kids for Christmas, running Mirage CM7 (seemed the most stable, but I could be wrong). I was planning on waiting a bit on the micro SD's and just running off of the 1GB internal memory, but I can't access the songs I put there. Every time I try to pull up the music player or MX player or gallery, it tells me "No SD card".
Well, no duh...
My question is, is there a setting that will allow me to access the internal storage until I'm able to get a couple SD's? Or should I upgrade to CM10? Also, the reboot SD for the Nook Tablet has a neat little repartitioning affect, got me another 6 or 7GB when I used it to install CM10 there---does the NC have a similar repartitioning tool?
Thanks in advance

Yes there is an option to use internal memory. I don't remember the exact menu since I have not used CM7 in a while. But go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, applications, and choose use internal memory. Or something like that. It swaps emmc and sdcard so that apps think internal media is sdcard.

Excellent! Does that mean, though, that I have to swap it back over when I do get the SD cards?
Also, does CM10 on the NC not have to worry about that?

Yes, unless you want to keep it that way. Your new card will show as emmc then.
CM10 has not implemented that yet. And it would have the same problem. Some apps would not run without an SD present.
