[Q] Nook Color internal memory access thru Nookie Froyo

Hi All,
I am thinking about buying the nook color after sifting thru all the wonderful work done on nook by all devs.
I have a question. If i use Nookie Froyo out of sd card, i.e. do not install it on the nook emmc, will I be able to access Nooks internal 8 gb memory? I am thinking about using the internal memory for movies and stuff. Will I be able to play them, if i boot into nook thru sd card?

The easiest way to be able to access the internal /media partition would be to use the Customized Nookie Froyo from brianf21. However, I just noticed the Nookie Froyo brianf21's is based off (cicada's Nookie Froyo) was just updated to 0.6.8. So you probably want to wait for brianf21 to update his customized one.

Thanks.....Much Appreciated

Hey guys first post from a an android noob here!
I just burned an sd with 0.6.7 and am wondering how to use the internal memory as well. I am mainly wondering how to get downloaded books to show on the kindle/nook apps.
Thanks!

[Q] Nookie Froyo - Not able to see the 5GB internal memory after installing froyo

Hi, I installed Nookie Froyo "xe.nook.color-froyo-v2.2-flashable-REV223" to my internal memory. everything works great. but when i connect my nook color to my laptop through usb, i no longer see the nook drive on "My Computer". Am I missing something? On my nook also, it shows the total internal memory as abt 1 gb and not 5 or 8 gb. Can you please advise me? Currently i use microsd card to put my documents, but would like to use the spare internal memory as well, if possible.

Same thing has happened to my but with honeycomb.

howz honeycomb? i tried honeycomb on sd card but it was very slow when compared to froyo. it was a class 4 4gb card. i have a class 10 16gb card but not able to boot honeycomb with it. it is asking for decryption password.

use my nookcolor USB mass storage utility.
internal storage is about 1gb (/data)
5gb storage is on /media. Use the utility..

So once I had mp3, video and photo to the 5GB media drive and eject it from my PC.
how does it show up on the nook? Can't get the nook to recognize the media file.

[Q] NF eMMC - What to do with internal 8gb?

Hey guys, I have customized NF 0.6.8 flashed to the eMMC and use the SD card as storage, but I'm curious what do you guys do with the rest of the 8gb internal memory or how to maximize that extra space?? I know the android system reserves space for apps and systems files, but that's barely 1gb of the whole 8gb as far as I know. The /media is accessible through NOOK Color UMS and we have access to it using any file explorer, but it doesn't seem very useful since most music/video/even the BN nook apps do NOT read from internal memory when searching for files. I suppose you can access your files manually by browsing /media but that seems to be the only option I can think of.
Any thoughts?? Maybe I should just dual boot and maximize the extra room.

Did you ever get an answer to the "lost 7 GBs"? I want to know, too!

[Q] Problems with Storage on CM10.1

Hey guys,
I got a Nook Tablet and I turned it into an Android device running CM10.1 via Micro SD card. The process went smoothly and the SD card is a 32GB Sandisk Class 4. The only problem that I have is that I don't have 32 GB on the android device. I only have 1GB as internal memory and 1GB as external memory (SD card). Is there a way to access the other GBs? This is preventing me from downloading all of the apps that I want.
Thanks!

When you say Nook Tablet, do you really mean that or a Nook HD or HD+? If really a Nook Tablet, you are in the wrong thread.

SD storage question

I was running cm10.1 from a 32gb sdcard. With my games and apps and my daughters games the card was almost full. I decided to install cm10.1 internally on the nook so I figured I would have more storage for apps. I actually have less now. I have the internal space for games now but can only put movies and music which I dont even use on the sdcard. Is there anyway to put applications on the sdcard? There is no move button in apps anymore. Thanks.

You should have much more app storage on with CM10.1 on internal than on SD. How do you figure you have less?
But if you transferred all your media files you had on the SD to internal media, you would have filled up internal space, leaving little space for apps. Apps and media files on internal share the same free space.
You cannot move apps to SD.
One solution is to move as many media files to the external SD (ext_sdcard) as possible, freeing space for apps.
Or another solution is to use my SD swap zip for CM10.1 on my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature (item 4). That makes it so CM10.1 uses the external SD to store media files automatically.

So if installed cm10.1 internally on my nook replacing the stock nook rom using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
I will have more space for apps then when i ran it from my 32gb card? My nookhd has 8gb internal storage. After Installing the ROM internally to the device and installing games the internal storage keeps going up and my 32gb sd card is still empty as if the games and apps are all installing to the internal 8gb storage and not my card so I have 32 gb of wasted space. I have no desire to put movies and music on my tablet. Also when I go to settings apps theres no way to move games to sdcard anymore. How does it give me more space as you stated? Am I missing something.

On a 32GB SD set up for CM10.1, it is partitioned to allow 2GB for apps and 28 GB for media files (which includes some extra data files that games use, not just movies and music). That 28GB cannot be used for apps themselves.
On your 8GB HD, there is about 6GB available to be shared by apps and media files. That is not much room for apps if you load it up with media files (like game data). But if you were to do the swap zip as I suggested, the games no longer put their media files on internal, but on external. So you would have the full 6GB for apps and a full 32GB (on your external SD) for your media files.
