It does not install apps to internal media anyway. It installs them to /data unless you tell them to install to SD. And on CM7, if you did not have an SD, you could swap emmc and sdcard so that apps are fooled. Maybe that is how you did it. CM10 does not have that feature implemented get.

You can have a larger data partition. Instructions are elsewhere in this forum.

Hi Leapinlar. Thanks for tips thread and for the partition repair scripts. I have done multiple intalls to emmc trying to rectify an internal storage issue. Unlike the user above, I'm not trying to install apps to the media partition, just trying to save files(pictures) to internal storage. My media partition is currently 4.2 gigs, but each time I try to save or open the gallery a message pops up that "no sd card is present." I am new to the NC but not to rooting, and have had a really good experiences with CM and Kang builds on a Galaxy S2. I have never used an sd card on my phone and media files save to the internal storage with no issues whatsoever, so I'm wondering if the CM nightlies for NC are so radically different than the JB rom on my phone as to cause errors in accessing the internal storage on the NC. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yes, the Nooks are different than many phones. On many phones, the internal media storage is named "sdcard". And external cards end up getting called something like "ext_sdcard". That way when apps look for "sdcard" to store their books, music, whatever, it ends up using internal storage. But for the Nooks, internal storage is called "emmc" and only external cards get called "sdcard ". And since many apps will not run unless it can find "sdcard", CM7 has a setting that lets you swap emmc and sdcard. So internal storage gets called "sdcard" and external cards get called "emmc". That is for users that have no external card inserted. But that is not yet implemented in CM10. So until that does get implemented the work around is to insert an external card. There are hacks you can use, but most are not simple.

Great info, thanks. I'm rather techy, but it's funny how the more you know, the more you realize there is to learn. I only mentioned my phone as it seemed a fair reference point as it is running AKOP JB, and the settings for it and the Nook are all but identical. Storage settings on both devices show two partitions( is that the term?) each labeled "internal storage" the first on each dedicated to data and the second to media. On the Nook that media portion seems inaccessible even from a PC; it shows up as "My Nook Color," or some such, if I connect as an MTP device, but if I attempt to drag and drop a file a message pops up saying the device has stopped or has been disconnected, even though it is clearly visible and connected. I believe your tips has a link for fixing adb/usb(?) but I haven't gotten that far yet. It is fun to be learning a new device and your guides are invaluable. I picked up the NC as a refurb, full warranty, for $75 so it was hard to pass up. Now that I'm fairly certain all partitions are healthy( thank you) I think I will move back to a larger data partition, pop in an sd card and just enjoy the Nook and continue to learn as I go by following your work and suggestions. As an aside, I have had zero performance issues with the CM 10 nightlies beyond a tiny bit of lag here and there and continue to be amazed that there is so much life in the older hardware. Again, thank you.
You may want to try USB mass storage rather than MTP. Go to settings, storage, menu, USB computer connection, and check off mass storage rather than MTP. MTP can be flaky sometimes. After you plug in the cable, you need to go to the notification area and enable the computer connection.

Yes that has been my experience with that protocol with other devices over the years. A day or so ago with usb enabled the PC wouldn't recognize the NC. Last night I went back to the 5/1 partitioning scheme, popped in a 32 gig sd card and went to bed. Tonight I turned on usb storage and my machine picked up the sd card immediately, and I was able to drag and drop a few music files in typical fashion. While the issue of not being able to access that "internal" media storage still perplexes me (I can be extremely O/C about tech working the way it's "supposed to,)" I'm simply not going to sweat 1 gig when I added an additional 32. As my experience with the Nook Color grows, more will be revealed. Thanks

HI..
I’m new in Nook color. I have just bough nook color and an 16GB SD card with Gingerbread 2.3.3 Mod version Phiremod Nook 6.3 Build No. GRI40.
I have not any problem for 1st time booting, but afterthat market wont work, after several cache & data clear up market is back to normal. Then another problem has been found,
1) Internet connection is really slow. My wi-fi setting is set to WEP security (if i change it to W2K or something else it will not detect my wifi), signal is excelent, but sometime i even cannot get into google,I think there problem with the software and connection, seems the nook is very slow also even when i click a thick box it will take around 2-3 minutes to response. What will be the possible issue?
2) When I want to reboot or powering off the Nook another problem has come, the nook wont reboot neither powering off, it hangs and freakin’ me out and i must hard force the power button to kill the nook. What is the cause?
3) Nook shall come with 8GB internal storage, but why in the Storage it is mentioning the total space is 0.93GB and available space is 874MB. And my SD card(16GB) is only 2.24GB instead of 16GB.
Please help me all expert.
I start love Nook the first time i’ve seen it, but after getting some confusion with this I start to thing twice to have rooted tablet..please help me to start enjoying my nook.
Thanks ALL

There's the thread for Phiremod. I would guess some of your issues might be addressed in that thread.
You aren't going to be able to change the partition sizes without destroying your non-SD card build (presumably the stock Nook ROM).
My recommendation is forget the Phiremod, all that does is remove you from the official CM7 update paths and in turn you get no real benefits, no support and lagging updates and fixes.
Install the latest CM7 nightly(177) onto your emmc, most, if not all of the issues you are having should go away once you've done that.
you can follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
I hope you didn't pay much for that card, because if you want to fix any of these things, you will probably have to start from scratch and make your own, anyway.
Your performance issues very likely relate back to that card. It may be that they used a poor card in the first place, but even if they used a decent card, sometimes SD installs just don't come out quite right and need to be rebuilt from scratch.

That's how newer NCs are partitioned. There's a 5GB partition that you can't see where Barnes & Noble apps, books and magazines would install, and only 1GB for you to sideload. The remainder is used for boot files and recovery images. You can reverse that partitioning so you have 5GB available using the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371

You may be able to claim the remaining space using a program like EASEUS Partition Manager, assuming it was in fact a 16GB card. If you look at the card in EASEUS on a PC and see a lot of unallocated space, you can extend the partition named /sdcard to take up that space. If the card was set up that carelessly, though, it's very likely the people who made it didn't know what they were doing and the card will never perform well.
Also instead of WEP use WPA2 for best results.
I bought the card less then 50$, the brand is Paxxxxt. The seller has inform me that there might be an issue with the card, because the speed is too slow. He said from thousand of his cards there are 30 something are having this problem, so he send me another card (sanxxxk), it will arrive within next week, hope it will work.
Thanks to all experts.
booting sd card with latest stable 7 release.
Just turned on my nook in android mode and all my applications on sd card are not accessible.
I have rebooted numerous times and used recovery and still no apps. When I open settings, I can see the apps on the sd card tab but cannot move them back to phone or clear them.
Don't know what happen? Any solutions to get my sd card applications working again? My nook will boot up fine with sd card but lost all the sd card apps.
The sd card storage is strange. I have a 16bg and now says .89mb used and 1.0gb free. it used to say 13.? free.
Any Thoughts?
appreciate the help
similar problem
I just started a new thread a few minutes ago describing a similar problem. I lost the ability to browse apps after installing a couple of them from App Brain. I know the apps are there, but I have no way to browse and launch them.
Wish I could say I have an answer for you...
I'm not sure of the exact cause of your problem. But i had a similar issue recently on CM9. Changing to a different launcher fixed the basic problem, and then when i switched back to my preferred launcher, the sd card apps were still visible. Hopefully this will work for you too. I ended up switching to a different launcher permanently.
This can happen if you swap what cm7 views as the sdcard, from removable to emmc. Check your settings within Cyanogen/Applications. If use internal storage is checked, then the system is looking for your SD apps on the wrong SD.
Or you could have a corrupted card. I hope it is the first option. Hope this helps.
Looking at your memory fluctuations, I bet the above is right. That is the available memory amount for a nook out of the box without the customizable repartition zips. Which are awesome. At the moment, you have all your memory allocated to data, which is totally unnecessary, and a waste of perfectly usable forage. If you need directions to the directions (assuming this solves your problem, post and ask.

Thanks, I tried that app just now and it doesn't do anything different than what the built in system tools does. It just keys me move apps on the phone to the sd card. My question is how can I move apps from my sd card (internal) to my external card to save space and have the same functionality a if the were installed in the phone. It would be cool if you could just install apps like you can on a 32 GB iPhone.

GMan901 & XDA Members:
If you're willing to shell out the cash for a Micro-SDXC card, I can show you how to swap your internal and external storage (SD cards). In my case, I started out with a 16GB GT-N7000 (International Note) and an 8GB Micro-SD card. I had apps installed on my internal SD card and would put all of my media (music, photos, videos) on my external storage (8GB Micro-SD card); but in the end, it wasn't enough. I ended up running out of space on my internal storage anyway; and considering that there's no way to replace the internal storage, I had to find another solution.
Now, on paper the Galaxy Note officially supports a maximum of 32GB of external storage. However, several sources have confirmed that the Galaxy Note (at least the GT-N7000 anyway) is capable of supporting Micro-SDXC cards of up to 64GB in size, and possibly even larger. However, no matter how large your external storage is, it's still your external storage. Now, if you were able to swap your internal and external storage, you'd have a fixed, 11.5GB external SD card that you would never be able to change, but you would also now have an internal SD card that you could increase or decrease in size whenever you like. In my case, I currently have a 32GB Samsung class 10 Micro-SD card that I bought on Amazon and configured to be my internal storage. Also, If I ever need more internal storage, all I have to do is purchase a larger card, copy all of the files from the old card to it, and insert it into my phone. It really is a great setup. If you're interested in trying this, just let me know and I'll post the necessary file(s) and instructions.
Also, it sounds to me like you are a former iPhone user. If you are, you should know that I am as well. As a matter of fact, it was the new iPhone 4S that I switched to Android from. At first, I found the transition to be..... less than smooth. However, with a little help from the good people here at XDA, I was able to not only make the transition, but also discover just how much more powerful Android is in comparison to iOS. In all fairness though, iOS is, for lack of a better term, the perfect "everyman" mobile OS. But if power, control, and versatility are your bag, Android is the way to go. So if you are in fact a recent iOS-to-Android convert, please let me know. I'd be happy to help show you the ropes.
Let me know if you'd like to swap your phone's internal and external storage; and also let me know if you've recently ditched iOS. In addition to the internal/external storage swap trick, there are a plethora of other tricks, hacks, mods, and techniques that can be used on Android to yield an almost infinite number of effects, changes, and improvements. Android is very tinker-friendly. So just let mw know how new you are to it, and I can show you all kinds of stuff.
Thank you,

A long as I don't need to root my phone out install a custom firmware, I would really like to know how to use my 32 micro sd card versus the ridiculous 11 GB the Note gives you to install apps and games. I barely had enough room to install Real racing 2.

Well, you will need to root your phone, but it's a completely reversible process. And if you do it correctly, you won't even trip the flash counter.
Anyway, we need to start with what build you're currently running. Could you check "Settings > About Phone" and let me know what build you're currently running. With any luck, it'll be a build that lets you use the ZergRush exploit. That way you won't have to downgrade your phone first.

You can by connecting your device to a pc in mass storage mode and using a partitioning software. But it's kind of tricky. I tried several times to no avail so in the end I got myself a card reader. I recommend you to do the same, they are cheap nowadays. It's far more reliable than trying to do it with your phone.

So I posted this question over and Android Forums, but no one has answered after 5 days. Hopefully I'll have better luck here.
What is the point of having an "on-board" sd card and an external card? I understand that -ext is your actual SD Card, but what is the /sdcard then and how is it different than regular "on-board storage"? What goes to either directory by default? This is the first Android phone I've had that does this, so I'm trying to familiarize myself with this.
I just bought a high quality 32GB SD card, so I'm a little disappointed that not everything is going to my SD card and instead to some onboard storage.
What are the benefits of putting things in either of these two?
I could be wrong but I think the internal memory is actually 12-16gb, but its partitioned with certain parts reserved for the operating system and apps.
I have noticed that transferring files from my computer to the internal storage is a bit faster than the external.
But then I do have a basic cheap 16gig SD card, so other cards might be faster.
I've not had any problem with the location of files, but then again I am a neat freak and I keep everything organized and know where everything is at all times
The reasoning comes from an operating system perspective. This is very much like a linux OS. Internal storage is different than ram. Android lives on seperate partitions as designed by google. Storage for the purposes of pictures, music, etc was left to be taken care of by sdcards. Since actual sdcards are more complicated than the average graduating flip phone user, manufacturers starting adding this "external" storage since it would be convenient for users like my mom. Then because geeks designed these, they still wanted to add more storage, so they designed storage you could actually get to! Hence sdcard-ext. Because many/most apps look for /sdcard as a file system, manufacturers could not skip it and just add more to the system partitions, or program installs would fail. They would either half to give a free memory card with purchase of the phone (carriers don't want to give anything away for free, and this is how it was 2+ years ago) or make storage on board that could be reachable.
In a windows point if view, think of it as all programs look for drive d: for extra storage rather than hogging c:, but since carriers didn't want to give away free d: drives, they said install it inside since it is cheaper on the board then to add a sdcard after. So, now /sdcard is like d: and /sdcard-ext would be like e:
I hope that made any kind of sense. It is honestly a useless mess, but sufficient for the unknowing or uncaring masses who just want to save more mp3's or pictures.

Has anyone tried to create a symlink to point a folder to an external folder?
Is there a way to dictate what goes where? For example, if I wanted my apps to go to my actual SD card (/sd-ext), could I do it?

I'm pretty sure that without some mild hacking*, there wouldn't be a universal way to do it. If it's doable at all, it will be on an application-by-application basis.
Some apps seem to just "do the right thing". For instance, as soon as I installed and formatted my sdcard, the camera and gallery applications moved my pictures from /sdcard to /sdcard_ext, and from then on, that's where pictures are stored as they're taken.
OTOH, Amazon MP3 is pretty stupid about keeping all downloaded music on /sdcard. When I bricked my phone for about a month, that's one of the things that kept me from trying for a full replacement: I couldn't pull the files out of an internal filesystem, so I'd lose all that music. If I could have had those stored on a removable SDcard, it wouldn't have been a factor.
*example of mild hacking: move application-specific directories from /sdcard to /sdcard-ext and replace /sdcard directory with a softlink to /sdcard-ext equivalent. It's hacky and crocky, but I think it would work, as long as /sdcard-ext is available and has the appropriate directory (target of link).
hopefully one of you would know this answer...
i have the droid 4 as well and i have an aftermarket stereo in my car that has a USB connection. i can plug in my phone and it wont recognize any music until i turn on USB mass storage (obviously) but the problem i'm having is that (what i think is happening) the phone is pretty much mounting the internal sd card first for some dang reason and then the external sd card second. but i can't back out of the /sdcard folder to go into /sdcard-ext where all of my music is.
is there any way to change the mounting order? <--- that's my question.
My phone is rooted and currently running the latest CM9 ROM.
Thanks

Apps will always install on the internal sdcard, no way around this.
Spotify to external SD is simple. First, erase everything and logout. During the login screen press menu and you will be able to change the default location. Login and synch and you're done.
Disabling the internal mount;
etc/vold.fstab
put an "#" before the line "dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard:: 25 /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/mmc_host/mmc1"
This should disable mounting the internal drive. I haven't tested it though. It is possible the OS won't be able to see the internal mmc when it's not mounted.
It's also possible to swap internal with external. BUT... I've read mixed reports on an LG forum where users complained about problems with their phones. So be carefull if you want to test that out. Have to say though, apart from LG users I haven't read problems on other devices. Search for drive swap vold.fstab if you wanna try.
would it be possible to re-partition the phone's memory so that it's: system, internal, and sdcard, rather than having the sdcard and sdcard-ext seperate? I have a 16 gb micro sd card that I plan on keeping in my phone at all times that I plan to store general media on, but I'd like to keep all my apps on the internal storage. I know the process will probably cause me to lose all my data, but I've got nothing important on it. Also if this was the case would I also have to install a new version of android? Forgive me if I seem ignorant, I've only partitioned my hard disk via a bootable usb, so I'm a bit inexperienced.

Which ROM are you running? If it is CM7 you can fix that. If rooted stock, you need to get an SD. Like the previous user said, some apps require them.

I'm on the nightly JB. Seems such a waste not to be able to take advantage of the internal storage. That's a lot of space wasted. Especially since I can host a lot of books with that amount of storage.
You can swap "EMMC" and "SDCARD" in android fairly easy (to trick android into thinking internal memory is a sdcard... apps save stuff there and you don't have to use an sdcard at all)
In the newest CM10 builds just use any ole filemanager thats usable with root and edit /system/etc/vold.fstab
it will look like this with some more stuff commented in
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1

anyways, I run without an sdcard, above is how. Everything works just like it should.

You can swap "EMMC" and "SDCARD" in android fairly easy (to trick android into thinking internal memory is a sdcard... apps save stuff there and you don't have to use an sdcard at all)
What version are you running?
In the newest CM10 builds just use any ole filemanager thats usable with root and edit /system/etc/vold.fstab
it will look like this with some more stuff commented in
Notice that its mounting emmc to /storage/sdcard0, simply switch out the sdcard1 directory for sdcard0 and put it below for EMMC.
cm7 is similar, i believe it uses /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/emmc though. But just take a look. Also, make a backup before you do it, if you mess it up you will get stuck in a bootloop.

Nice! Now that's what I'm talking about! I can't wait to try it in a couple of hours (when I get a hold of my nook). I also noticed that the nook moves way faster without the sdcard (16gb SanDisk Mobile Ultra). I'm on CM10.

My nook has seen better days. Even had a son throw it against the wall (I include this because it may be why mine slows to a crawl moreso than I'd like). Only real way I've made mine quit lagging is by setting it so there are no background processes in the developer options. I'm sure there are ways around it, but I don't really multitask on the nook so it works fine by me.
Seems to have done the trick! Thanks viogrep!
Just repartitioned my Nook to 2gb data / 4+gb media. Will use a fresh the CM10 nightly build on it. This is looking really good!
I use the Nook mostly for 90% books, but also load it up with a some music, movies, and games for when I'm on the road to keep from boredom. I've had the Galaxy Note, but ended up coming back to the Nook. Recently picked up an Asus Transformer Pad TF300T and I can see myself using the Nook for long, long time for reading... and more since it's just so much more portable. I really don't have the need for cameras, gps, or any other features on this thing since I already have a phone that can do that.

Glad it was able to work for you.
One small bit of info for you. Goomanager and the like won't be automated anymore. As it will reboot into recovery and think the update is on the sdcard when in reality its on the EMMC. You just have to manually flash from the EMMC in TWR.

I'm on the nightly JB. Seems such a waste not to be able to take advantage of the internal storage. That's a lot of space wasted. Especially since I can host a lot of books with that amount of storage.

I moved my music to /emmc/My Files/Music and told BeyondPod to put my podcasts in /emmc/BeyondPod and all is well.
Some apps can be told things like this, others can't.

thanks. i'll keep an eye on that and play around with the setup.
the new setup, combined with the CM10 build from 12/10, renewed my love for the NC. :good:
