Hello everyone,
I am as green as they come when it comes to rooting.....but low and behold, I did root my sd card with Honeycomb and all apps pretty much work well.
My issue is that I copied books to the sd card to "My files" folder. When I go to look for it, the file is not there. If I connect sd card to the computer, every file it there.
Are there some files that are hidden on the NOok? If so, how do I access them?
Thanks in advance.
bump as no response yet. Thanks
Hey guys,
So I tried running CM7 off of my external SD card on my nook and it works beautifully!
However, I am little confused about how to go about storing files on the nook now. I understand that if I were to remove my SD card and reboot, the system would return to the vanilla OS?
I am looking to use CM7 as my main OS on the device and would like to place video, mp3 files, .epub files on it. How do I most easily accomplish this?
Can I still add files to the micro SD card, as long as I leave the image and boot file alone?
Thanks!!

I rooted my nook internally. When I use my card reader to install apps on my card they Dont show up on my nook. When the card is in the reader I can see them, but I can't see them when I open file explorer and look on the sdcard. How can I install APk files from my SD card? I also took my sdcard out of my rooted evo to try and load some of the same apps from my phone through titanium backup and none of them showed up in titanium backup. I cant figure out what's wrong......this worked fine on my nook tablet. Any ideas?
Is the card showing as mounted in the Nook?
Yes, it is mounted. Ive tried unmounting it, then took it out and put it back in and remounted it and its still not showing any apks that I put on it from my pc. I thought maybe it was the card, so I took my EVO card and tried it in my nook and it was the same thing. I can take the card and put it in my card reader and everything shows up on my pc. I even tried reformating the card wiping everything. I put the card in the nook and turned it on. I then unmounted the card and put it in my card reader and the only file that showed up was "LOST.DIR". I then tried to put an apk file in the lost.dir folder to see if I could find it once I put the card in the nook and when I opened up lost.dir there was nothing. I can take the same card out of the nook and put it in my EVO and go into file explorer and open lost.dir and I can see the apk file. So I know its something with the nook.
I can download apks from market, and from other places and I can install them without any problems. I am stumped!!!
So you can see the card when it is in the Nook, can see the lost.dir but not any files inside it. Is that correct?
This is not a fix, but have you considered installing DropBox and then just placing the files in the DropBox folder you designate on your desktop and then syncing with the Nook? You should see them then and be able to install.....
Come to find out, the sd card is bad. After I tried to put it back in my EVO to see if it would read again it would not. I also tried to write a big file onto the card with my card reader and it would show the file being on the card but it really wasnt as it never actually transfered the file to the card. Weird to say the least. I got another card and now all is well.
Good day,
I have a question about replacing my external microSD card on my GNote:
1) Can I simply swap out the SD card with a new one and reboot the phone?
Other than copying off my photos and music folders on the current external SD card, what else should I be looking to move over onto the new SD card once I insert it?
I am rooted on XLA1 ROM
I have not moved any downloaded Apps to the ext. SD card
I use the built in email and messaging Apps, I do not even know if\how to tell the mail app to store mail on the external card or if it does this automatically if it detects the presence of one. (Kind of a sub question I guess)
I use Dialer one (I do not think it matters but....)
I have CWM backups to external SD as well as Titanium Pro scheduled batch backups. have not looked yet to see where these are stored and what the folders are named/
The current SD card came out of my HTC HD2 where I had done a few android builds running off SD and therefore see plenty of android created folders that I am sure are as a result of my attempts to try out Android when I was a Windows Mobile user on the HD 2.
Thanks in advance for any answers giving to this matter.

You shouldn't have to do anything. Most programs, if they don't find the file structure they're looking for in the place they're looking, will recreate it.
Thanks for the answer.
Bought the S2 today and after creating a new text doc using officesuite only then I realise the file cannot be saved onto the 64gb sd card I have installed, why is this so?
I have filed on this card, the tablet recognise them fine, play media files from it, read text from it etc... But I can't save documents onto it, receiving error access denied??
Please advise of how to get this to work without rooting (not keen on rooting at this stage because of warranty, will wait until warranty is over). Many thanks
Either root or ask the developer to update the app to properly request write permission to the sd card.
Work around, save to internal first then using stock file manager move to external.

I guess I just have to work around it like asphy suggested, saved to internal memory then transfer to sd card, troublesome but

I have the same issue and i download large torrents .. is there any thing else i can do?
I think the problem is with Google.
I think from KitKat on they disabled write to SD card.
I don't like it either but there are workarounds.
Remember all the Nexus machines do not take SD cards.
Maybe if we pester them they will relent and give us back our rights - after all they are OUR machines.

Could yo share some of those workarounds, please.
I'd like to download Kodi content to the external SD card (or USB stick connected via OTG), for example.
Thank you.
The easiest way is by connecting the tab to a computer. The computer sees the SD card or the USB stick and is able to write to it.
This get's around Android's limitation as the computer is Windows.
Another way with a decent file app is copying to internal memory and then use the app to move it to the SD card.

Thanks for replying.
I don't understand, in your first example, how I'd be able to use that. When downloaded from the internet and writing to the SD card on the tablet.
Use the file manager app...find the file and move it the SD card from there...very simple..no need for a computer
