[Q] USB drive and HD+ rooted - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apologies if this is a stupid question. I have a rooted HD+ with stock. If buy one of these (USB gender changer) can I then mount external USB drives? This is not a deal breaker or crucial just a matter of curiosity.

No you would need a cm based rom

Thanks I suspected as much.

If you don't want to change your Nook you could setup VeryGreen's development SDcard which does not change the Nook but also gives you access to the cool features. I am doing that running stock rooted and booting to the SD when I need a feature that isn't available on the Nook software.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I found the FTP facility in ES File Explorer and that does everything I need to do.

Run stock firmware from SD card

I am a noob with the nook color but somewhat experienced with Android. I can do custom roms and all. I have a nook to Android card but it doesn't run very smoothly. I want to run CM7 our CM9 internally but still need the nook OS. Is there a way to run nook OS from an SD card. If it could have a dual boot interface like nook to Android that would be a plus, but not a requirement. Again, I do not want to dual boot internally. I want to run only CM7 internally and run nook OS from an SD card.

First you have to have an SD-card that is suitable to run the OS from. Apparently it doesn't depend on the read and write speed(class) but the block size. You can read more here.

I can get ahold of a 4 or 8 gig SanDisk class 4, then what?

Having problems rooting my Nook HD

Ok, here it is, I want to root my Nook HD. The only thing I really want to put on it is Gapps. The Software version on it is 2.0.6 and I'm using Windows 8. I have ADB working but for some reason I can't get adb to recognize my nook drivers. I've tried updating them and they say that they're completely up to date. My laptop recognizes my nook just fine when I plug it in. What have I done wrong?
Highly recommend this approach instead, no adb required. Plus you can UN root after gapps install if you want.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature for rooting the stock ROM. And no, there is no overclock kernel available.

Extras zip? I have not had that available for months. But I do have an Enable Unknown Sources zip if that is what you meant. If you flash that it sets the setting for you.
If you use a third party file manager to install the apk, it should work. If not flash it again.

dude you rock. I just flashed enabled and now I can install other apps. I installed adaway and also blocked bandn source for ota update.
everything is good now, thanks so much,
now we just need someone to build a kernel that will help maximize the ram

I installed nova launcher and now it looks like a regular android tablet and much faster ui. I'm very impressed with the nook. if it had 1 gig of ram or quad core this would be the best android tablet. the screen is amazing. on par with iPad 3

saving apps to sdcard

Hi all, so far I am a little disappointed in CyanogenMod for 10.1 for the nook HD. The main reason I rooted the nook was so I could save apps to my SD card (8gb internal doesn't cut it). Also I have been having problems with the tablet now getting stuck in a lock screen cycle. Does anyone know how to move apps to the SD card, or why I get stuck in the lock screen cycle?

Apps2sd is not supported in CM10.1 on the HD/HD+. But you can go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash my SDswap zip for official CM10.1 and it will make it so you can have your media files on external SD by default. That will give you more room.
And the lock screen issue is probably the magnet in your case. There is a bug in CM10.1 where you must open the cover twice before the unlock will work.

Man that's disappointing. I have two users are can't fit all my apps in. Why does Cm10 not support apps2sd? I feel like that should be a standard thing.

No, CM10 or CM11 don't either. To get more room for apps, move some of your media files to external SD. That is why I suggested the swap. Media files and apps share the same limited space on emmc. And for the 8GB HD that can be tight.
And the reason apps2sd is not supported is the default sdcard (internal) is emulated and is actually a part of /data on internal. That is why it shares the same free space as apps. So it would not free any space to put apps on the emulated SD.

Problem is I don't really have any media. Its pretty much all apps. Doesn't look like the are any nook HD roms out there at all, let alone support app2sd

You have 5GB of apps installed? That's how much space you should have with no media files. You could have some big game apps that store their game data on the internal SD. Those count as media files and can be moved to external SD with the swap.

Looks like I have to be rooted to install your file. Is that true? I haven't rooted anything since, I think it was a Samsung Hero.

Well, then yes, you have to be running CM to install that file. But I have a version for stock that does not require you to be rooted. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.

[Q] Stock Root Rom USB Host & Sixaxis Support

I installed CM 10.2 emmc only to find out the sixaxis won't connect over bluetooth anymore, the whole reason I wanted to root. So does the sixaxis work with a stock rooted rom 2.2.0? Also does USB host work with it?

If you look in the accessories forum, there is a thread discussing that. And I don't think USB host works on stock, but search to find out for sure.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't device spoofer just for installing and running apps on devices that the apps aren't intended to run on? I'm just trying to pair the ps3 controller with my nook HD. From all the reading I've done, google kind of broke Bluetooth with 4.2. My iPhone would pair with stock nook is so I was hoping maybe a rooted stock ROM (2.1.1) would restore Bluetooth even though I'll be stuck with nook os.

I was not pointing you there about the spoofer, if you read the whole thread, it talks about if the six-axis works and on which ROM. It even talks about running stock on SD as a solution. I know nothing about any of it.

I must have missed it. Thanks for your help pointing me in the right direction
Ok. I installed CWM and rooted 2.1.1. Got the Sixaxis working but I can't open the cyanoboot menu. I've tried holding the power and "n" button and just the "n" button while booting but can't access the cyanoboot menu. I'm trying to install enable unknown sources but no matter what I do I can't access the boot menu. If it helps sometimes when I power back on I get the factory recovery asking if I want to restore to factory maybe indicating something wrong with the CWM install?

No, there is no cyanoboot menu with rooted 2.1.1. You have to boot using the bootable CWM SD that you used to flash the Universal Root zip.
