Data not being saved on Ext SD

Hello XDA community let me start by saying thank you for sharing all this great info. I finally made the decision to install over my B&N HD OS and go full Droid using cm-10.1-20130615-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc. Its running like a damn beast BUT one little thing is irking me. Whenever I download an app/game EVERYTHING seems to go to the internal memory and not my freakin' empty 32gb micro sd :good:. Furthermore, I don't even see the option in apps to "move to sd". How can I remedy this issue?
P.S- Yes the Sd card is formatted correctly and can be seen in storage.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Apps2Sd is not supported in CM10.1.
And verygreen has the emmc version of CM10.1 set to use internal memory by default and there is no setting to change that. But I have developed a flashable zip that will swap internal and external SD's so that the default goes to external. See my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and look at item 4.

Thanks for the insight, Leapinlar.
I remember reading this somewhere so thanks for refresher. I will look for the file.

Thank you for your help.

Is this fairly reliable ? I purchased a 32GB model, thinking I would need it but, after 2 weeks I am hardly using any space. Perhaps I should return and get a 16GB model instead...

I recommend staying with the 32GB model. You never know what your future needs might be.

Thanks for the words of advice and all you do for us !!
One last question - is it normal to see a1 or 2 reboots a day. They seem to happen by random.

I don't get any reboots, but many users do. I think it depends on what apps you have installed and which run in the background that might be causing the crash and reboot.

Hey Leapinlar I tried your advice and I'm not getting any results. Here is exactly what I did.
1. Boot into CWM wiped the system and cache
2. installed cm-10.1-20130624-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc
3. installed NookHD-HDplus-SDSwap-for-verygreen-CM10.1-on-emmc-rev2-(06.16.13).zip
4. Boot into cm-10 went into settings then storage (Verified MicroSD is detected 29gb)
5. Installed HD Widgets and it automatically goes to the Internal Storage
Am I doing something wrong? Please tell me I am lol...
I also do a reboot and try again but no luck. Any other advice? Maybe something I can do manually?

The swap does not effect where things get installed. They will always get installed to internal memory. The swap only effects where apps download and save their media files.
If you are running out of room to install apps, delete or move some of the media files from internal memory. App installation files and internally stored media files share the same free space. If you get rid of some internal media files, more apps can be installed.

When I try to load games from the external storage, all I can see and select is the "Up" button to go up one directory. I know I have folders there. I have absolutely no issue seeing the files in the internal storage.
I cannot store my files on the internal storage as it fills up quite quickly
I'm not sure what else I need to include to figure this out. I tried adding a link to the folder on the internal storage and that kept failing.
this is the only app to give me this trouble.
thank you

You don't say what you are running, stock or CM10.1. And you don't say what file manager you are using. We need more info.

The issue is the file manager that comes with CM needs to be configured.
Go to the app settings by clicking on three dots in the lower right corner. Go to settings, general. Then configure the access mode to root. You will have to ok superuser. From then on you can see above the up arrow.
But that file manager is awful. I recommend you use something else like Root Browser Lite or ES File Manager. They are both free.

I had configured the stock file manager for root access and that didn't help. The other file manager you recommended does not seem able to create shortcuts within the internal storage to point toward the external storage.

Then I guess I don't know what you are talking about. Shortcuts? You mean symlinks?
If you want your apps to use the external sdcard instead of internal sdcard for storing data files, the best way to do that is to use my SD swap zip for CM10.1 on emmc. Get it from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. See item 4.

Deafcyclist said:
Thank you. That does seem like the best possible solution for pretty much all of my problems with the Nook (beside certain app not working with Nook HD). However I cannot seem to be able to actually see the SD card info within the storage option of the settings. It is perpetually stuck in 'calculating' and I am seeing 2 external storage now. Should I be worried about this?

I'm trying to fix the Nook now. I went and wiped the Nook and then applied your SD swap fix. Now none of the stock app (including Play) works at all. This was the best idea I've heard for the Nook HD but it does not seem to be working at all for some reason. Maybe the SD swap zip is version sensitive of the EMMC installation?
::EDIT::
Wiped and then flashed that zip at the same time. Didn't work. Now trying to flash a fresh copy of the latest verygreen's EMMC version and then flash the SDswap zip at the same time.
::EDIT2::
that did not seem to have fixed my Nook HD. reverting to the way it was. thank you for your helps though

You talk about stock app, are you running stock or CM10.1 on emmc? I have more than one version of the SD swap zip. Make sure you get the version for what you are running. You should be able to just flash the zip to a working system, reboot and it should be swapped.

I made sure to only flash the verygreen SDswap zip to my latest verygreen Emmc version. The only time I could see any effect from the SDswap flash broke many of the stock apps including play so I couldn't even download any other apps.

Click to collapse
What do you mean it broke many of the stock apps? Just Play Store or others? What are the symptoms of being broken? Could you download files with your browser?
EDIT: You are right it does not work properly on the HD. It works great on the HD+, but I had not tested it on the HD and something definitely is broken there. I will pull the HD version and label it only for the HD+ until I get a working HD version. Sorry.

What I meant by it not working is that the icons for the app is selectable but tapping it does not start up the apps. I am not able to start up ANY app. The launcher even stopped working once I get to the settings.

Yes, I got the same issue when I just tested it. As I said in my edit above, it is broken on the HD. Hopefully I can find what is wrong and fix it. I re-labled the other version for HD+ only.

What version of CM10.1 are you running? I had a 6/12 version and it still failed. I updated to 7/08 (after the verygreen sdcard fix) and it worked for me.

I'm not sure what you meant by the same issue.
I just updated my HD to 7/19 on emmc, flashed my rev4 swap zip and it worked fine for me. You have to wait 40 seconds after reboot for the script to finish its task.

Help. I've tried to swap internal and external SD's to no avail.

I recently acquired a nook HD, and I immediately went on to install CM 10.1.
Things were fine and dandy until I loaded up about a quarter of my e-book collection (roughly 3gb's) on to my Nook.
I had placed them into the external 32gb SD I had, and when I checked the storage stats, Aldiko had imported them into the internal storage space.
Immediately after I searched up solutions, I found leapinlar's SD swap for CM 10.1/10.2.
I ran it but nothing happened.
I am currently running CM 10.1.3 RC-2
It is rooted.
My CWM version is stated to be "EMMC CWM-based recovery v. 6.0.3.2"
I've tried all of the SD swap zip files loaded onto all sorts of locations.
I have tried many permutations of installation ordering.
I've cleared data, repaired permissions countless times.
At this point, this today marks two weeks since I ventured into this endeavor.
And for the longest time, I have given in.
I made an account on this forum to ask this question; to shout a plea for help.
Prior to making an account, I scoured this forum looking for answers--I found very little in terms of helpful information.
Someone enlighten me on the exact steps and the details of how they got this swapping concept to work.
At this point, I am seriously contemplating on using this nook as a mirror.
Help Please.

Can you give me some details as to how it is acting? And what version of the swap zip are you flashing? What are you expecting it to do? Don't be flashing the other versions for stock, it will just be messing it up.

Right now, after I ran the "NookHD-HDplus-SDSwap-for-official-CM10.1-CM10.2-emmc-rev6-(090413), none of my apps work. None. It still boots regularly though.
My SD card was formatted into NTFS32 using SDFormatter with the full overwrite and etc.
I am expecting the internal SD and external SD's to be switched in file manager/ or on the computer.

Does not matter. The zip is just placing that swap file in userinit.d and settings its permission correctly.

Don't pay any attention to what settings, storage says, that is broken with this swap. Just see if it works. That is when you look at /sdcard do you see the external SD?
Edit: I guess I should say that in my instructions. Many get worried about that when it does not show right in settings.

Were they working before you flashed the zip? Try rebooting again.
Edit: I bet that hung settings calculation was hanging the apps too.

CM10.1 uses a new protocol for connecting to PC's called MTP. And it make a difference which PC operating system you are running. The files do not show up as a drive letter but as a named section low in the file explorer's left pane.

The default setting for CM11 is for the Nook HD+ to connect as an MTP device, not as a USB Mass Storage device like a flash drive. If you don't know what that is or how to access it, I suggest you search the web for instructions. There is no USB Mass Storage setting in CM11, so you must use MTP.
