After Root & Flash, why i can't use the software on sd card?

After i use "fastboot" to root my devices (N1), why all the software that i installed on sd card can't use? But i can browser it on my file manager in CyanogenMod-6 system and i also can connect to my PC to browser the file.
Can I use back all my software that i installed before? i don't want to install it all again, Please help me
Thanks a lot >.<

If you used the "fastboot oem unlock" method, then your data partition was wiped clean afterwards. Assuming your apps installed to your SD card were done using the Froyo apps2sd method, only a part of each app was installed to the SD card. Some / most of the app (depending on the app) remained in your /data/app directory. Without both pieces (on internal and external storage), the apps won't work. You will have to reinstall those apps.

What are using to backup your NC?

Titanium? Is there a way to nandroid? Does CWM work on stock rooted (i.e. no nookie froyo)?
I used an sd card to get auto-nooter. It's the only sd card I have, so I'll neeed to reformat that for Titanium to work. I have the Pro versions but without an sd card, it doesn't give me any back up options.
From what I've gathered there are pros and cons to CWM but I'm not sure I understand if what I will lose if I stay on stock rooted v. going to nookie froyo.
I used root explorer to change the file names so that (hopefully!) I will not get the 1.1 ota. But I have no backup at all and like the set up I have now.

Install and Run Apps from SD

first, i would like to thank the people who continously makes everything possible. i got my nook rooted to 1.0.1 and overclocked to 1.1ghz and work smooth. added a launcher and it seem fine. however, i saw in the nook tools that there is this 1GB phone storage or so it seem aside from the 5gb storage.i know that the nook has 8gb in it and part of it is used in its system. now my question is could we INSTALL AND RUN applications in the SDcard?i noticed everytime i install an apk it directly affects the 1GB internal storage. is there a way to the latter? ive already searched the Nook forum here and could not find anything about it.Thanks in advance

In default Android versions running apps from SD (apps2sd) was added in versions 2.2/FroYo and thus why you see with the stock shipped 2.1 version all apps instll and run from the internal memory... in our current 2.2 Custom version apps2sd is working but I choose to only run 2.2 completely from fast (class 10) sdcard and at least for now keep the stock 2.1 available on the internal memory, but there are instructions to run the 2.2 from internal memory for the adventerous now...

oh, so that explains it. ok, thank you! for now ill be sticking to the 2.1 stock rom with zeam until i get feedbacks from the new stock 1.1 update. one last question, is BN 1.1 update already the froyo 2.2?

[Q] Autonooter

I rooted my NC with autonooter and when i was done their was a foler on my sdcard called "Nooterfiles" what would happen if i booted my NC with my mirosd in it while having that folder on it?

Installing 1.2 Update

I have a rooted nook with the stock firmware running off internal storage and CM7 running off my memory card. Today I went to try and install the 1.2 update and was unable to do so using the instructions from the B&N website. The NC would try to load the update and then I would be greeted with a sad Android logo.
I was eventually able to load the 1.2 update and here is how I did it.
1. Make sure you back everything up. I researched this solution for me and it worked for me. I did not create these files so dont get mad at ME if they dont work for YOU.
2. Use this file to remove CW recovery from your device. http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip
you will need to use CW recovery to flash that zip file.
3. After you run the zip file. POWER OFF.
4. POWER ON with the SD card slot empty.
5. Since I had the stock FW on my internal memory I was able to boot to that. Once booted I dropped the 1.2 update zip on the root of the internal memory. Once the file was on the NC i removed the USB cable and then hit the lock button. I waited about 2 minutes and the nook rebooted and installed the update.
6. I was then able to reboot to my SDcard and then reinstall CW recovery.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I hope this works for more people than just me.

Do I need to un-root my device before putting the 1.2 update zip file in NookColor's root directory?
I have put the zip file on the NookColor drive as instructed by BN. Then I waited for two minutes. My NookColor reboots itself to the Android screen. The 1.2 update zip file is gone, but the update is not applied.
Any idea on installing the 1.2 update on a rooted NookColor?

I downloaded zip file and place it to the sdcard. Is this rite?

Place the downloaded zip file onto the main nook color drive.

Don't know what I did but finally worked.

I had a nootered 1.0.1 NC and ran into the same issue, both when I tried to install the 1.1 update (gave up on it eventually) and this one. Finally I threw in the hat, backed up all my apps with appmonster, -though I hate how the recent update backs up the apps as #ed .apk's buried under two folders rather than the old appname.apk all in the backup folder. Made it easier to share b/w diff devices- did the 8 boot interrupts reset, copied the update file to the root directory of the NC (not sdcard) and Bob's your uncle, updated NC. Though truth be told I now wish I hadn't jumped the gun with it. I miss the crapload of great apps I had available (3 different Angry Birds...who wouldn't miss that? Who cares if it's essentially the same thing every time) and watching the nightly news on a 7 inch screen on the long BART ride home. Counting the hours 'til I stumble across the next auto nooter. Tick tock tick tock....

This may help angry birds
Potential fix for Angry Bird install after manual nooter
A lot of people are saying that you can't install angry birds with the SD card installed. This sounds like the problem that I had with my Droid X. To fix it I had to delete the file left from the prior install under .android secure on the SD card. I guess that Froyo sometimes has issues with this file getting corrupt on the micro SD and then it can't install correctly during updates and reinstalls. I think you lose all previous data but at least you have it working normally now with the SD card installed. I'll try it on my nook and post back. I would have put this in the manual nooter thread but I don't have enough posts to post there.
