What's going on with this thing? It crashes every time I try to move an app to the SD card using the native Android apps2sd. It wasn't a problem before I unlocked it. Everything was just fine.
I have partitioned the SD card from Clockwork recovery, reformatted, etc. all to no avail. Is there another step that I've missed? Link2SD won't work, either.
It's CM 7.1.
Try 4EXT instead of CWM recovery. It seems to be the freshest most powerful choice out there. I used to have that problem all the time with CM. For me the best was using blackrose to change to HBoot, then flashing QND MIUI mod and partitioning with 4EXT. Followed by the latest kernel they recommend I know there are lots out there but I wished someone would have told me that before I invested a zillion hours screwing around with CM.
Your choice
I have had this happen to me with only a few applications, never all though. Did you try to force applications to install to sdcard as a fix?
Set from my Nexus One using xda premium
do you have your default install location set to internal
and since you have CM try dark tremor beta 4 for moving apps. review their thread on this subforum and learn what scripts to run after flashing the zip
+1 on 4ext, I have it now--great themes--but amon_ra 2.2.1 has worked flawlessly for me also

Use the monster file thread link to build a 1 gig cwr boot disk with your sd. Drag and drop that file in the v4 emmc flashable.. Follow the instructions to boot from sd, wipe system, data (boot is optional, some say they do it without wiping boot, but I myself wiped) it will crash when wiping boot, just hold the power button and turn it back on. Then flash like any rom in cwr and when its finished take the sd out then select reboot... It will take you into honey comb... Check the threads for more help

I've got HC v04 preview running on eMMC (not SD card), and for me it is very stable.
I followed the instructions over on AndroidCentral. Here is the link:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/barn...ook-color.html
The actual zip was produced by samuelhalff, whose thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071
I've got access to the market, apps seem to install fine, and all my old B&N stuff is still available. Frankly I prefer the free B&N Reader I downloaded from the market to what I had with the stock Nook. Even better, the kernal included in the package was already OC'd to 1.1Mhz, and I'm consistently getting 1,500 to 1,600 on Quadrant.
For me the total install was pretty smooth...just remember to follow instructions exactly.
FYI: The above link also includes instructions on installing to an SD card.

did u do anything special to get your market to run? I cannot get it to download anything and after I cleared the cache stuff, the market wont even open.
When I first installed HC, I had the dreaded "market problem".
I can't find the original post to give proper credit, but I followed the following steps which resolved the problem.
Go to Settings=>Applications=>Manage Applications and select Google Services Framework. Under Storage, press the "Clear Data" button, then "Force Stop".
Still in Settings=>Applications=>Manage Applications, select Market. Press the "Force Stop" button.
Then reboot and it should work...at least it did for me
not for me lol, just keep getting a error has occured try again later, thanks tho.
I strongly advise flashing the internal memory instead of using the SD. You can try the SD route once, but if it fails, don't waste your time. I've bought 4 different microSD cards just to try getting honeycomb working on NC. I read some of the recommendation in xda and purchased the cards with higher success rate. But after 4 days of fruitless efforts, I gave up today. Then I thought, what could go wrong, I don't use the Nook to read anyway, and went on to flashing the internal memory. Holy S*it. 10 minutes and I got honeycomb running.
I have somewhat reached a standstill in my NC endeavors, because I do want to continue using the device as an e-reader and keep the B&N in store features + stock apps that come with the Nook. I also really want to run Honeycomb from eMMC (class 4 sd card is cool for a bit but not really cutting it in terms of every day usability), as I am an android enthusiast, and this was one of the main reasons I bought the NC in the first place. Does anyone know if it's possible to do a dualboot of the two, without severely messing something up?
Another option I can imagine is having the stock Rom running from an SD card for B&N needs, if that is known to work any better. I'm hoping someone with more knowledge can add to my initial brainstorming of possibilities for this guy...
I had the same market problem. Then I flashed this zip through Clockwork Recovery and that seemed to fix things. Make sure and do the v003

All I see are instructions on how to use ADB or to use CWM to flash to the external SD. Is there a way to use CWM ready CM7 for the internal flash?
Hi,
If I understand your question, you would like to run CyanogenMOD7 off the
internal memory also called emmc, rather than running it off the external
memory or uSD card.
Though a bit dated, I found this walk-through to be very detailed:

It is helpful, however I am looking for a CWM ready version....so far no luck.
Hi,
The instructions in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960542&page=16
Are assuming running from uSD version of CWM.
Following other CWM install instructions you can end up with CWM installed
on the internal flash, emmc.
For example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
Minor issue to watch for: the versions of CWM that support EXT4, required
for CM7 also require a different kernel.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by CWM ready version of CM7... the CM7
nightlies are in a .zip file that is flashed by CWM running off the EMMC boot
partition. The first time you install CM7 you also have to use CWM to
reformat some of the partitions on the EMMC (to ext4), but after that you can
use CWM to update the flash each time.
ROMManager can also be used to download ROMS and start CWM.
I am in 'updating' mode, I usually download a recent CM7 nightly and
recent overclock Kernel on PC, then share to Nook using Dropbox.
On Nook, I download .zips from Dropbox and move to root of the data
SD card. I also have latest Google apps (GAPPS) in Dropbox or SD card.
I then use ROMManager to run CWM to backup entire ROM.
Then I use ROMManager to boot into CWM and individually:
Install from .zip: nightlyxxx.zip (Current CM7 version)
Install from .zip GAPPSxxx.zip (Current google apps version)
Install from .zip kernelxxx.zip (Current OC kernel, overwrites the CM7 version)
Then I wipe cache partition.
Then finally wipe dalvik partition - CWM freezes here.
Reboot and wait a while (5 mins) (I assume it is rebuilding dalvik cache here)
Often seem to need another reboot and wait.
Hope this helps...

Thanks, that does clarify things. I'm new at this and do it was a little confusing to me how to do it. In the captivate forum they're a little more forward on how it's done. I appreciate the help. I tried using the rc4 encore signed but it seems to stop at the startup with N color on it. I thought I formatted all the partitions properly. Is there something I did wrong?
Hi,
I haven't had the problem of being stuck at 'N', but I'm sure there are plenty of
others that have... it will be something simple, probably missed one step in install.
Perhaps check through the list you followed and try and remember if you forgot
one step, or didn't understand one of the steps.
My install no longer shows the "N" at all when booting, so I'm guessing that
there is a missing piece somewhere!
I get:
"Touch the Future of Reading"
Brief flash of "Loading"
Few seconds of sideways "android..."
Then an animated CyanogenMOD logo for more seconds.
Here is one (long) thread about booting problems, but there are other ones too.

Got the problem fixed. Had to boot to a different CWM and format as ext4. Now all is well.
Speed Comparison
I have CM7 flashed to a class 4 sd card and it seems a little slow compared to the stock elcair build. Does CM7 installed to the internal memory speed things up a bit or does the system still seem a little slow. I'd like to know before I flash to my internal memory.
It should be faster on the internal, logically speaking, but perhaps with the right SD card you'll get comparable speed.
So I bought a used (barely) nook color off of craigslist today for 200 with a screen protector and 8 GB transcend class 6 microSD. The guy I bought it from had his google account on it though so I tried to remove it. Basically I did the imaging through terminal (i cantp ost a link) and put the new stuff on and now it says my memory stick is damaged (even though it mounts on my computer) and it freezes my NC whenever it is in
I'm basically wonder, HOW CAN I GET MY CM7 2.3 NC to reset itself so I can put my own account on it. I have searched but can't find anything that good, as I have clockwork, but the rom is installed ON the NC internal, not on the microSD...Please help me out in some kind of step by step way. I rooted my droid eris myself, but starting with it pre-rooted has messed me up.

You should have ROM manager on there already. Reflash CM7 and wipe data...should take you to a fresh install.

So what step do I start out if I have clockwork mod on there already? I dont have recovery though.
Go into your programs and open ROM Manager (this assumes that you already have clockworkmod installed). Make sure that you have a micro SD card in the Nook with your desired CM7 build (either nightly or stable). Then Click on Install ROM from SD Card. Click on the ROM that you want to flash. It will then give you the option to Backup Existing ROM and/or Wipe Data and Cache. Go ahead and select Wipe Data and Cache. Hit OK and the Nook will do the rest automagically. (ROM Manager may request Superuser status, go ahead and grant it or it will not work). After you regain control, you should have a fresh, clean install of CM7 to work from.
Hi,
If you experienced this problem go to the 6th post where the answer is.
Have a weird problem.
SD-EXT partition seems to not mount and be discovered by system at boot. As a result cannot use DT, S2E for CM7.
Here is some background info, I suppose my diagnosis is right. Please help
I bought google-branded Nexus One with Eclair, opened the bootloader installed CWM, partitioned SD card and installe newest CM7 nightly with gapps and DT. That made the phone reboot each time any new app was installed.
I tried with different DT versions, S2E app from Market and the problem wasn't solved. Then tried MIUI, but when enabled A2SD there all apps from data were gone.
The card might need to be repartitioned/reformatted.
Did that as well, even have used different cards, formatted on different recoveries and so on. Now I found out method of Data2SD from Desire, it works on CM7 and MIUI, but I am afraid of poor performance as dalvik and data of apps are on SD-EXT now...
You could try to perform a simple copy test to/from /data and to/from SD-EXT, to know how do the speeds differ, if at all. Internal memory of Nexus isn't really speedy.
You mean via ADB? I'll send some file as soon as I'll be on Win and give it a try
After all I noticed that both SD cards were Class 2, whereas in my Wildfire I have class 10. But that really shouldn't make that difference, should it?
Also an app Link2SD works fine, so the partition itself is accessible.
I also noticed, that on Wildfire there are 4 statbars in menu (Internal Memory, System, SD card, sd-ext), but on Nexus the last one is gone. This is why I think something curious is about mounting.
Does anyone know at what stage of boot DT A2SD is activated? When the SD-EXT partition gets mounted?
Nexus One controller speed is limited, so anything beyond Class 4 most probably will be simply a waste.
The SD-EXT should be mounted when the kernel is up and running the boot scripts (/system/init.d/*). Usually it's mounted in one of the first scripts (they're numbered, and run by number sorting order).
The tab in the phone menu is an option of specific ROM. No stock ROM supports A2SD, so in order to get this tab you need a custom ROM that has this specific option integrated. I don't know of any - though MIUI most probably has it.
[SOLVED]
Thx all for help.
It was radio to blame. I installed CM7 after stock Eclair with very old radio.
Solution: go back to stock Eclair, do all OTAs and try once more with A2SD.
(and never buy a Wildfire to be afraid of doing OTAs on Nexus (I've lost root possibility by doing OTA on WF))
Hi all
I have an issue with Cyanogenmod ROM here.
I runned on my Nexus One the 7.1 version with S2E script without problem for six months, then suddenly my 16gB SD Card reported a read/write problem and I have to reinstall everything.
Changing my sd card with a new sandisk 32gb, I decided to install the newer Cyanogenmod 7.2 official version (not nightly) but since then I have a serious issue.
Obviously, just to confirm, I wipe everything before installing pure cyanogen zip file. Then, I begin to install application but as you know internal memory is soon filled.
Then i backup, format SD card, partition it 1GB ext4 / 31GB fat, reinstall the backup, and install S2E.
The problem is that everything run smooth for almost 1 day - where i can install new apps and move to sd etc - but after some hours of use, if you try to install or update application all of a sudden market begins to report error message like:
error 492
file package not valid or signed
or, during installation, the phone has an half reboot.
Obviously i tried to wipe and reinstall everything many times but problem persists.
Also, when it happens, after some more time some applications began to work wrong, especially widget like simple calendar widget or beautiful widget.
I googled to search for a problem of this type, the only solution i found is to install latest version of the market as apk, which I do, but it doesn't work.
Any help?
Should I try another App2SD script different from S2E?
after s2E installation, do I have to launch something from terminal (which I don't do until now)?
thanks
I experienced similar.
I now use mounts2sd from DK Zero Cool. Fantastic script. What I do is to choose 'move data', and choose 'reverse mount'. With just those settings I have no issues. (You run the script from recovery and you're given the options in Aroma installer)

Issue solved
Hi all
Just to make you aware that I solved the issue reinstalling everything using a recovery older than Clockworkmod 5.2, in particular the Amon_RA 2.1, leaving the phone to work with this recovery I wipe everything and reinstall Cyanogenmod 7.2 and S2E and everything is working fine now.
Hope it helps
Thanks
Hello. Thank you it worked for me.
