[Q] Problems with Storage on CM10.1 - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I got a Nook Tablet and I turned it into an Android device running CM10.1 via Micro SD card. The process went smoothly and the SD card is a 32GB Sandisk Class 4. The only problem that I have is that I don't have 32 GB on the android device. I only have 1GB as internal memory and 1GB as external memory (SD card). Is there a way to access the other GBs? This is preventing me from downloading all of the apps that I want.
Thanks!

When you say Nook Tablet, do you really mean that or a Nook HD or HD+? If really a Nook Tablet, you are in the wrong thread.

[Q] Manual Nooter Nook and SD Card Question

I used the latest manual nooter to root my nook...everything went painless enough; I had used a 4 GB SD card to do this. When I was done rooting my nook, I reformatted my 4 GB SD card and installed it into the nook color to have the full 4 GB worth of storage space...how quickly I was able to use that up! ...I should add that I rooted my nook to the internal nook drive...not to a bootable SD card.
Now, I am wanting to expand my nook color SD card to a 32 GB card. Since I used the 4 GB card to image and nooter my nook do I have to stay with the 4 GB card? ...or can I just format the new 32 GB card, copy and past all the info from the 4 GB to the new 32 GB card and off I go?
Sorry for the newbie question but I didn't want to do this and then find out that the rooted nook color will not run smooth or find that I am getting force closures.
Thanks!

You should be able to switch up to 32GB, I would move all apps moved to SD back to memory first just to be sure apps don't break.

[Q] Nook HD running CM10.1 on SDcard

I've just read the thread of [Nook HD] CM10/10.1 development (sdcard) updated CM10.1 1/31, looking for help with some question.
My device is Nook HD updated to 2.0.6.
I've followed the instruction in the thread,
- mad a bootable SD with a 32GB SDHC and [sdcard-cwm-hummingbirdv4.zip] (after writing with win32diskimager, the SD becomes the size only few MB).
- saved the file [cm-10.1-20130130-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird.zip] under the root of the internal sdcard of nook.
- insert bootable SD and reboot.
after rebooted, all functions including settings, wifi and apps are running well.
However, it becomes much slower than its origin OS, sometimes when I point a icon, it takes few seconds to react and continue.
Besides the storage is a bit strange: there are two "internal storage"
- one has 1.88GB for all the apps and Cached data;
- the other one has12.67GB but can't be use at all.
and also a SDcard with 26.5GB (my sdcard was 32GB but after writing bootable image, it becomes totally of only few MB)
Are those every thing normal to the progress now, or it just happened on mine?
Specially wondering that why the internal storage becomes smaller and there is a 26.5GB SDcard? (my nook is 16GB version and ext-SDcard has no more left after writing image file) what is that "no using 12.67GB"?
I am waiting reply of answer and Thank you very much!

The problem is your SD card. You say it is 32GB but you don't say the brand or class. It needs to be SanDisk class 4. If you have a bad brand it will run very slowly.
And your SD should look smaller in the PC after making the card. Most of the storage is in a partition that windows cannot see if the card is inserted into the PC. Your nook should see it though as sdcard. That is what you are seeing as 26.5. And that 12.7 you are seeing is internal media storage and is usable as the emmc folder. The 1.88 is your /data partition and is used to store your installed apps.
So everything is right, you are just using a bad SD card.

It's really helpful, thank you.
I'm using Kingston micro sd c4 32GB, is that why so slow?
And, only 1.88 for apps, will that be easily filled up with those apps which can not be move in to sdcard? Is there any way use the internal storage of 12.7G?

Yes that card is probably the problem.
And 1.88 is a lot for apps, but if you need more, CM10 lets you move apps to SD, which would put them on the 26.5 sdcard.
The other 12.7 can only be used for media.

You must use the hybrid method if you want to use the internal storage

Can't upload files more than 2gb to Nook HD sd card

This is a stock nook hd+
I've been trying to figure out how to load CM10.1 on a bootable SD card but I can't figure out how, yet.
Anyways, have a 64gb micro sdxc card exfat formatted stuck inside. hooked it up by USB, tried to transfer large file to memory card by nook.
Gets 2gb done, then hangs.
Tried to have the nook itself format the sd card and then try again.
Again, 2gb transferred and then fail.
I guess I could just take the SD card out to a reader and to it that way, but I really don't want to. Would prefer to transfer through nook.
I'm running vista, so exfat support seems etchy.
You are talking two issues. One, you want CM10.1 on SD. The easiest way to do that is to go to my updated HD+ CM10/10.1 guide linked in my signature.
And I am not sure why you are transferring a file larger than 2GB to internal memory. Certainly not for installing CM10.1?
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
exFAT has 2GB file size limitation. NTFS does not but it will not work on Nook.

SD card question

So I flashed verygreen's CM10.1 emmc perfectly but the only card I had was a 16gb and writing the cwm file on it made the SD card only ready 868MB. Is there anyway where I can formatted back to its original 16gb? Any help would be appreciate.
Hooks
Use SDFormatter free on the web. Set it to adjust the size.

I will try that. Thanks.

[Q] cm10.1 Nook HD microSD not recognized

I'm back. *sigh* I've got a Lexar 8gb Class 10 microSD card. When I put it in the Nook HD, it isn't listed in storage.I know it works, because it works in an adapter and it's how I installed CM10.1. It's FAT32 formatted with 4K clusters. Terminal emulator shows ext_sdcard with or without a microsd card inserted. Verygreen did say that some cards are still unstable. If I reboot the tablet with the card inside, it crashes Settings when I click storage.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
