[Q] Wiping SdCard on TWRP HELP - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got the CM10.1 ROM so this created a sub directory "/data/media/0" and now calls that "sdcard". Before installing the cm10.1 I had a lot of apps and images that I want to delete now, but if I wipe "Internal Storage" do I lose the apps and everything I have now installed on the new ROM?

If you wipe internal storage, you lose EVERYTHING you put on the device, apps, settings, data. It's like starting fresh on a new device, except the ROM stays because that's written into the partitions.

Shoot!, so there's no other way to wipe the SD without losing everything right?

Do I lose Gapps? Because if I don't I will go for it

If they were flashed through a recovery, no. If they were installed through GPS, yes.

[Q] Replacing the stock ROM

I've been installing the CM11 nightlies and really like them. I haven't had any serious issues with them and I am excited about a stable version coming out. While having both a stock ROM and CM11 installed I have not figured out how to get the apps installed for both ROMs. They seem to tell me that it is already installed, or they will try to open but close immediately. I was wondering if there was some way to have them installed and working for both ROMs, or if I will need to replace my stock ROM with CM11, and how exactly would I go about doing that?
My guess I that the apps you are have trouble with are installed on SD card? Internal or external SD card
Try moving them the phone (user data)

I would agree with sd_shadow, I bet the apps in question are stored on the SD Card and so it's causing issues between the ROMs. Move the apps to the phone and you should be able to then install them on both ROMs. You should be able to do this from the Applications menu in Settings.

Factory reset question

I am selling an HD+ running 10.2.1 and want to make sure my info is erased. If I boot into CWM and do a factory reset/wipe data, it will reboot into the CM setup and my data will be gone, right?

Yes and no. All your apps and settings will be gone but your media files you may have downloaded to the internal sdcard will still be there. To get rid of that you must boot to CWM and go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'.

Thanks. I can delete the media manually. There's just a few pictures.
If I delete my accounts, is that info really gone if I don't do a factory reset? Or is it still recoverable like deleted files are in Windows?

If you want CM11, that is the one to use. If you want CM10.1/CM10.2, use the guide I referenced. They use different tools.

I'm confused on what files to actually download?!! any help please?
Advice please
kk so last night i had a go at the kit kat tutorial.
Think I got the right files in the end. (see attachment photo)
Managed to get CWM flashed on the 32gb micro SD and insert it into the Nook and reboot it into recovery.
Then i needed to back up stock OS to SD but it goes through the process but at the end it says no EXT SD found.
So it has the back-up on the internal memory which i cannot get off.
Why did it not back up to EXT SD?

That EXT SD it says it cannot find is not the external SD you are thinking of. It is looking for an old scheme not used anymore where apps sometimes were stored in an extra partition named that on the external SD. Your backup was probably stored on the external SD. It depends on which option you chose when you made it. If you chose the wrong option it might be stored on the internal memory. In any case it is easy to get it off.

It's ok mate I followed your tutorial and I'm all up an running on CM 10.2
I just copied the back up from the internal memory via USB to my PC so all good!

[Q] How can I expand the memory on my Nook HD?

I bought a 64 gb class 10 microsd card and I found I can only store music, photos, files like that. What I would like to use it for is to store applications and such. I have tried links 2 sd with no luck, I have tried partitioning with no luck. I am running CyanogenMod version 10.1.3-hummingbird. I really would like to get this working. Thanks!
TL;DR Want to put apps on external microsd card. Running CM 10.1.3-hummingbird. How do I do this

You can't with the Nook HD/HD+. Since internal media files and your app data share the free space internally, your best solution is to store all of your media files by default on the SD so that all internal space is available for apps. You can do that by going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flashing my swap SD for CM zip. See item 4.

So what exactly will that do to my nook? It will then store all of the app data on the external SD instead of internal?
You can repartition your sdcard and use Link2SD. It won't move OBB files, but it can move apps, data, libs and dalvik files.

No, just the app's media files. They will go by default to external SD instead of internal SD. The regular app data stays on internal.
But maybe you do want to try the link2sd. I used it on my limited storage phone in the past and it worked great.

I cant even get links2sd to work and now my CWM is acting strange with the scrolling either getting stuck or not responding.
It sounds like you have some software problems. You did not say but I assume you installed CM10.1.3 on internal memory. I recommend a factory reset to clear things out and then reinstall your apps.

I actually have 10.1.3 installed on the internal memory. I might just do a factory reset and re install CM when I get home today. Will factory reset get rid of CWM as well?

No. It will not effect the ROM (CM10.1.3) either. It just wipes your installed apps and data. Just try the factory reset before you reinstall to see if that fixes it.

[Q] Upgrading my ROM version

Hi all,
I've been running a Cyanogenmod nightly version since december. version 10.2.20131222.
My HD+ has the bad memory issue. What would you guys reckon I should upgrade to. Its starting to run slow and a factory reset seems to be a temporary fix.
I havent replaced the boot rom.
Cheers

What does that last statement mean? Are you saying you still have stock on internal memory and you are running CM from SD?

So what you are saying is you are running an early version of CM10.2 that does not have TRIM activated and you have started to get lag. You have the bad memory chip and are worried to run something newer with TRIM activated. So now you want advice about what is safe to run. You also still have stock recovery installed. Is this a correct interpretation?
I don't know the best answer for that. The stable CM10.2.1 is supposed to be safe, but I have no proof of that. I know a lot of users have reported bricked devices with CM11, with no explainable reason why. I suspect TRIM with the bad chip.
It is a tough question. Maybe someone else has some comments.

Exactly what I meant to say. Thanks for explaining it better leapinlar
I just had another thought. You say you do a factory reset and it helps temporarily. You might try going to mounts and storage in CWM and format 'data and datamedia'. That is a real format of /data. The factory reset and format /data does not really format /data. It erases the contents of /data except the /data/media folder where your emulated internal sdcard is. So it is an erase function rather than a format. Also some of your lag may be due to your media files. A clean real format of /data may help. Also format /cache, that is where your system dalvik cache files are stored and if you're are not factory reseting, you should do the cache separately.
