Hi,
first of all I would like to thank so many people working on this wondeful distributions that make NC so great.
I have Nookie Froyo on SD and I love it but have some performance issues that seem to come from SD card itself. I understand that installing into emmc would solve the performance issue, provide more space for files and liberate SD for more memory.
My questions for you are:
1.- Is it possible to transfer the SD to emmc exactly as it is? (programs, configuration, etc.) and How !!!!
2.- if possible, and done, will I be able to get back to stock NC? (and also How)
Thanks in advance, thanks thanks thanks.

i am using the cyanogen mod and have been installing apps to my sd card thru "managing applications". However, i found out that not all of the data is being transferred and some are still left on the internal phone storage. As u guys alr noe, the milestone has very little phone storage, so my phone storage are still quite full at times.
I've seen threads regarding partitioning the sd card so to install the apps to it. Does this really work? I mean is it better than the one mentioned above?
Can someone help with this? I'm new to partitioning so can anyone help by giving step by step instructions, or simply just justify whether this whole partitioning thing works.
Thx in advance
You may give Titanium Backup a try - it can force-move apps from internal memory to SD and vice versa. Long-tap onto the app-> move to sd (or similar, got a german one )
//EDIT: partitioning the sd card is called "app2sd" - there're scripts for this, but with memhack etc. I have enough memory for the moment, so I don't use it
Hello,
I'm looking to get a ROM that boots off of an microSD card (leaving the internal memory of the NC stock and not rooted) that is relatively stable and has good flash support for playing videos on youtube, listening to podcasts on google reader, etc. I am a bit of a n00b. I don't want to mess with the stock B&N OS. It's a very good eReader. So, the idea of a dual-boot option sounds great to me! I was able to get honeycomb flashed to a microSD card and working on my NC. I was surprised by how easy it was! I was also able to figure out how to get the Android Marketplace working, although that wasn't easy (I hope this gives you an idea as to my level of incompetence). So of the available ROMs out there that support flash and that boot off a microSD card, which is best for somebody n00bish, like me?
Try Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 customized version. I used it and runs really well from micro sd. Just make sure you have a fast (at least class 6) micro sd card.
Hey guys. I'm a noob to the nook. Got mine yesterday and flashed nookie froyo 0.6.8. Flashed auto nooter 3.0 before that (not sure that was necessary, but I did it anyway - Was it necessary?)
I digress... I'm confused about the sd card and from what I've read in the forum, it's still not clear to me. So here are my questions and I apologize if they were answered elsewhere. If someone could link a post that might be helpful that would be great!
1. Which roms run off the external sd card?
2. Is it better to run off the external sd card?
3. I'm using an 8 gig class 10 card, but only 1.78 is accessible and and less than 500 mb of open space is left.
4. NookcolorUMS is confusing. I've tried mounting all partitions and cant access the extra space. And yes I did format it after flashing so it's allocated using FAT32.
Any help or direction to helpful posts would be really greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1. I think CM7, NookieFroyo, and the HC build have all been made to run off the SD.
2. I don't think so; it does give you the nice "sandbox" feel that you can't screw anything up though. It is MUCH faster to run off the internal memory; and with the multi boot ability in my opinion there really is no reason to run off an SD card.
3. I'd look at the card in some type of partition manager; there may be some partitions that can not be seen otherwise. Have you already flashed a rom to the card?
4. Not sure.

I flashed the image to the external sd card. It put the boot image after flashing on the card. I just reformatted the card and can now see it in the nook.
New questions.
1. Is there a way to create a nandroid back up?
2. How do I get to clockwork recovery without using the image on the sd card?
Maybe more questions later.
Thanks!

Multi-boot ability? I still have so much to learn. Is it basically a matter of rearranging the partitions on the internal storage? Would the best link be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959461
?
Can the primary partition continue to boot stock unrooted Nook ROM?
* Go to the parallel Development Forum to find threads on:
- Multi-boot (very simple to install)
and
- SD card booting versions of CM7, Honeycomb and Froyo
* Within the thread of each of those three, you will find instructions for adjusting things (installing missing capabilities, partitions, etc).
* Download Free Easeus Partition Manager (sp?) to extend 4th partition while looking at SD card in Windows, this will give Android's /sdcard folder the rest of your card. Then Download Free Notepad++ (linux file format text editor) to edit a file as described in those threads. See threads for more details.
* Download Free Win 32 Disk Imager to backup SD card in Windows ("read" backs up card, "write" burns an image to card, the latter is how you create bootable ROM on SD card).
Hi,
I recently installed CM7 on my phone using Rom Manager and am very happy with it.
I noticed that my SD card read and write speeds have become abysmal though.
Can someone tell me how to fix this? I noticed in Rom Manager under the SD card partition area it mentions something about changing write speeds.
Would that work? I do not really want to create a separate partition on my SD card at the moment but I would like to increase the file transfer process.
Thank you for the help
Known problem, best solution is to use a card reader.
I also get extremely slow read/write speeds on my SDcard when mounted via the phone. My dad's HTC desire running on leedroid ROM reads and writes like lightning compared to what im getting and we both have the exact brand, class and capacity SDcard. Formatting the sdcard didnt help, i happen to be on CM7 as well so i wonder if its a ROM related issue...
Thanks to all the developers here, I have been enjoying the nightly CM7 running from the eMMC for about a week now. I got the nook color, liked the B&N interface, but since I wanted to do more with it, I decided to install CM7. Not knowing better, I used the easiest way to do it. With a borrowed 1GB card, I installed the nightly build to eMMC. Without much problems, I got it to where I really like it - EXCEPT - I miss the B&N UI for reading.
I now have a new SanDisk C4 4 GB microSD card but I can't figure out what I want to do. Ideally, I want to move my install from eMMC (8GB) to SD Card (4GB) and then restore eMMC to stock 1.2. I already know how to do step 2. But I don't know how to do step 1.
The other option would be to restore to stock first, then install CM7 AGAIN to the new SD Card. The only problem is that I will have to redo the little tweaks I have done over the week. I like the way it works now and don't want to do everything again. In fact, I like what I have so much, I am willing to give up B&N UI. Can I backup and restore?
Any suggestions appreciated.
