Run stock firmware from SD card - Nook Color General

I am a noob with the nook color but somewhat experienced with Android. I can do custom roms and all. I have a nook to Android card but it doesn't run very smoothly. I want to run CM7 our CM9 internally but still need the nook OS. Is there a way to run nook OS from an SD card. If it could have a dual boot interface like nook to Android that would be a plus, but not a requirement. Again, I do not want to dual boot internally. I want to run only CM7 internally and run nook OS from an SD card.

First you have to have an SD-card that is suitable to run the OS from. Apparently it doesn't depend on the read and write speed(class) but the block size. You can read more here.

I can get ahold of a 4 or 8 gig SanDisk class 4, then what?

Dude really... yu won't take the time to download a pdf manual? And you didn't even read up enough about it to know that it takes an SD card and not a microSD... please be a little more interested in it before you start trying to modify it... it will save all of us some head ache

How are you trying to flash it?

[Q] USB drive and HD+ rooted

Apologies if this is a stupid question. I have a rooted HD+ with stock. If buy one of these (USB gender changer) can I then mount external USB drives? This is not a deal breaker or crucial just a matter of curiosity.
No you would need a cm based rom

Thanks I suspected as much.
If you don't want to change your Nook you could setup VeryGreen's development SDcard which does not change the Nook but also gives you access to the cool features. I am doing that running stock rooted and booting to the SD when I need a feature that isn't available on the Nook software.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I found the FTP facility in ES File Explorer and that does everything I need to do.

saving apps to sdcard

Hi all, so far I am a little disappointed in CyanogenMod for 10.1 for the nook HD. The main reason I rooted the nook was so I could save apps to my SD card (8gb internal doesn't cut it). Also I have been having problems with the tablet now getting stuck in a lock screen cycle. Does anyone know how to move apps to the SD card, or why I get stuck in the lock screen cycle?

Apps2sd is not supported in CM10.1 on the HD/HD+. But you can go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash my SDswap zip for official CM10.1 and it will make it so you can have your media files on external SD by default. That will give you more room.
And the lock screen issue is probably the magnet in your case. There is a bug in CM10.1 where you must open the cover twice before the unlock will work.

Man that's disappointing. I have two users are can't fit all my apps in. Why does Cm10 not support apps2sd? I feel like that should be a standard thing.

No, CM10 or CM11 don't either. To get more room for apps, move some of your media files to external SD. That is why I suggested the swap. Media files and apps share the same limited space on emmc. And for the 8GB HD that can be tight.
And the reason apps2sd is not supported is the default sdcard (internal) is emulated and is actually a part of /data on internal. That is why it shares the same free space as apps. So it would not free any space to put apps on the emulated SD.

Problem is I don't really have any media. Its pretty much all apps. Doesn't look like the are any nook HD roms out there at all, let alone support app2sd

You have 5GB of apps installed? That's how much space you should have with no media files. You could have some big game apps that store their game data on the internal SD. Those count as media files and can be moved to external SD with the swap.

Looks like I have to be rooted to install your file. Is that true? I haven't rooted anything since, I think it was a Samsung Hero.

Well, then yes, you have to be running CM to install that file. But I have a version for stock that does not require you to be rooted. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.

Anyway to root without a 4gb SD card?

I just have a 2gb card at the moment and cant find my bigger ones.
Anyway to do this without a 4gb card?
Yes, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and follow the instructions in item 1a. You can make a CWM card from any size SD including that 2 GB card you have. Then use that to root.

Oh, you did not mean you wanted to root, you meant installing CM. They are not the same thing. Did you use the correct version of gapps for CM12? They must match.
Edit: And don't post so many questions asking the same thing on so many different threads. It gets confusing.
