What is eMMC - Nook Color General

I have googled and read but still don't fully understand emmc. My understanding is that it is the internal memory on the NC. When one of the new roms is flashed to emmc is it being flashed to the same place as the stock rom? If not how is it different? Once a rom is flashed there does any of the internal memory remain free to be used otherwise? Any info would be appreciated.

Yes internal memory, if you flash one that goes on the emmc then it replaces whatever was their before, like the stock rom. Dont know about the storage thing.

Can I root with a flashable zip?

I have nook ver 1.3 stock. I have also made a bootable Clockwork recovery SD card. Is there a way to use this sd card to root the device and install CM7 to the emmc?
I assume I need to root the device. New to the nook.
You don't need to root to install CM7 from a clockworkmod micro SD.

I suspected that. So the new ROM and CWM recovery will be installed to emmc? It seems like this maybe the easiest way and best way to go back and forth between roms/stock, rather than rooting it and doing it internally. Agree?
I love this device. I may pick a second one up from ebay (B&N refurbished).
CWM won't be installed, but you can install that with ROM manager once CM7 is installed.

Thanks. I assume this can also be done with CM7 variations, ie, phiremod and miui, right?
Yes but once CM7 is installed (which is rooted by default) it's much easier to just flash new roms using ROM Manager. I recommend getting the premium version if you want to install nightlies.

got you. I already have the premium RM. Thanks
one more question, booting from the sd card and the CWR on it, I format data, cache, emmc, boot and system andthen flashed phiremod rom. somehow my wifi settings and wallpaper were saved. I thought I would get a setup screen. Is it because these roms are not rooted and it's just being installed over stock?
I thought those settings were saved in /data. Hmm.
In the future, I wouldn't recommend formatting anything other than system when you flash a new ROM unless it specifically states to (which it shouldn't if it's a well written rom ).
It sounds like you didn't actually format those, which would definitely be a good thing, especially for EMMC.

Nandroid backup to external sd?

The new recovery from thecubed (5.5.0.4) let's you pick between internal and external(default). If you're using another recovery for some reason then just use a file explorer app to cut and paste from one location to the other.

have you read the recovery thread?
does it specifically say you have to return to stock?
recovery has nothing to do with the rom, so no, you wont lose it

I did read it...it didnt say I needed to but the instructions were talking about installing it right after you unlocked the boot loader, so I was making sure I didnt have to go back and start the whole process again.

[Q] Expand Internal Memory of Google nexus one

Hi, Anyone can help me to figure out how can i move all date(applications fails) to SD card? , because I installed some Apps on my sd but phone says that internal memory is low , I guess that some fails of Apps still leaving in internal memory.
can u pls elaborate the condition of ur phone?like whether u r rooted or not , wat rom u r running?
yes eventhough u move apps2sd , some data remains in internal memory...

Yes, it is rooted, android gingerbread 2.3.6
so u r wid rooted stock rom. so in order to increase internal storage so as to install more apps. you got two options.
1. flash a custom rom that supports sd ext ...
2. stay wid stock rom, install blackrose and resize partition.

About a month ago I was in the same position as you are. Was really new to all of this and I was constantly running out of space on my N1. All this stuff takes time to figure out, but its really not that difficult if you can follow direction and aren't afraid of typing commands. IMO the easiest way to expand your internal memory is to install CM7 and use S2E. Note that you are not really expanding your internal memory.. it's just a really cool work around. You'll want to make sure you have a fast sdcard, I'm using a class 10 32Gb card and life is good again.
I tried CM7, but with it GPS does not work.
If you've made it this far, getting CM7 on there, then getting the GPS working again shouldn't be too much trouble. At this point you might want to consider flashing a new kernel. I switched to 2.6.38.8 Tiamat_N1-v4.1.0, mostly because the stock kernel in CM7 had low in-call audio volume for me. It's working great so far and I've noticed better battery life.
Just make sure you do a nandroid backup first!!
OK, thanks, but from where I can download kernel and how can I change it?

Titanium back up question....Storage!!

hey
ive been told when using titaium to backup all apps and system data but when it comes to restoring it all, that it should be installed as apps and data only,is that corrent?
Okay i have a external sd card which is only like 3gb, now when you flash roms etc and have to restore stuff back, what exactly is Titanium backing up? is it backing every single thing except the sd card? will all my data within apps remain when i restore? so all my photos, icons, bookmarks etc etc
iam so confused as the app does not specify things in catogories.
cheers.

It backups your application and data(passwords or data entered in application) just like you had it before flash another rom. It will not backup ur photos, songs, icons but it will backup the bookmarks.

Even it remains untouched on internal SD card, it won't erase during wiping cache, wiping data (except you specifically select to format USB storage), Flashing.

TB can even backup your contacts/call history, data usage and many others too, all you have to do is to backup particular app and while restoring, just restore "data only". I have tried it for same ROM version, not sure if it will work inter ROM as well

hey jeetu! lol
you now ive still not flashed rom cause each time i see insructions, someone says somethin different lol. although you guys in this thread have always helped me.
ive had a go with gobackup pro and it really does everything, like contacts and bookmarks, your pictures, music, whatever you select it will back up. now that ive learned that my internal sd and ex sd will not be touched, iam not so paronoid about leaving everything in my internal sd as ive got over 10gb of space their. i just thought once ive backed up, ill have to move everything to ex sd due to me doing wipes and flashing roms, it would all be removed LOL.
BUT i do have a question, when i go into settings and click into storage, under internal storage it says ive got over 649mb of apps installed, now under internal sd it says 423mb. NOW is the apps installed under internal just all the system apps that come with the rom? and is this what will be removed when i do the full wipe etc?

Hey!!
One is system ROM it should be around 900 MB in total and almost consumed unless you remove some apps from system, this space is used by system apps included in the ROM and will stay even if you wipe the device. (you cannot see this in settings, use TB for it)
The one you are talking about is Internal storage (aroung 2 GB) and is used for apps you download from play store or from SD card. These apps will be removed with wipe.
Okayyyy I think I get it now lol...but both the SD storages will stay? They better lol
R u still on stock rom and if so why are you not flashing roms? Always wondered

Yes, SD cards will not be wiped with flashing unless you choose to wipe/format SD cards as Dr.Ketan said. I change ROMS very frequently, tried almost all available custom roms for Note in first 5-10 days . As of now I am using modified version of stock ROM. I have replaced lots of stock apps with modified ones (thanks to the Devs), so no need of custom ROM, but planning to try CM10 soon.
Ha ha ha, i am doing this since long, just difference is never tried custom ROM still.
And that is real our custom ROM.

So what are the best Rome to try??? Rocketrom v10 seems good and that criskelo one but will I loose all system apps? Also can I use netcore v13 with both Roms if I choose to try both of them...or do I need abyess kernal?
I don't like the look of the stock launcher icons in TW so I guess ill have to change launchers unless I can find a rom where I can change my icons and stuff

Both of these Roms are good and include almost all stock apps, you can use Notecore with them, no need to flash Abyss kernel. You can use Go launcher EX if you don't like the icons as these roms are also TW based and will have same icons .
Try CM based roms if you want to try something new.
CM roms OK I will look for v9 since 10 is not out yet. So netcore I can use with also but I must perform full wipe etc...reading all this info just makes my brain go crazy lol your truly helpful

CM10 is out but not stable yet, u can use notecore to wipe and then flash cm9 but do not flash it once you are on cm. Cm uses different kernels and will come with its own.
But better you read rom threads for flashing instructions, either with Notecore or abyss gb.

Lol I've had a gud look but I really don't see any I like so maybe I should just stick with root but I have to say this speedmod kernal with ics stock is much smoother and faster. Would the netcore kernal on my stock rom make it even faster? I've heard gud reviews about it

[Q] Note constantly freezes and crashes

My Galaxy Note keeps freezing and/or crashing without any reason, even when using light apps like Gmail or Evernote. Nonetheless, it runs 3D games without crashing. It's pretty random. Sometimes it unfreezes, sometimes not. Tried factory reset, tried everything. No success.
Android 4.0.4. Never installed a custom ROM, but it's rooted.
If 4.0.4 is available for your region try to flash it.

That means you've likely got damaged emmc chip. Did you perform any wipes under ics? Freezing os is a symptom of emmc damage as part of the system resides on the damaged partitions and can't be read. Cm based roms often work best under these situations.

I somehow managed to delete the phone's IMEI and a guy fixed it for me (the Samsung Service wouldn't do it). He fixed the phone, but after a week or so it started freezing.

Total Internal storage 1.97 GB, total USB storage 8.24, SD card 14.94.
yes this has been repartioned using custom pit file or manually. that's y usb is showing less value. usually it's 11.07 GB.
This has left a 2 to 3 GB bad block in the memory due to which huge roms like stock ones will not work properly. Go for small roms. shud work without any issue.
You've got a re-partitioned internal sd card, it should read 11.9gb not 8 something. With a reconfigured internal storage its often the case that you can only use cm based roms like cm9/10,paranoid android etc as they are about 150mb versus 800mb of stock ROM. Sorry dude. If you've got warranty, I'd claim it after recreating brick.
