Due to some odd behavior I wiped my nook and went back to the cm10.2 snapshot and just noticed after it boots that it list the internal storeage at 12.x gigs free which is normal, but the avaliable is only just over 6 gigs. I did a factor data reset from the rom and from the recovery so everything should be gone. I don't recall what was avaliable the first time after I rooted it, does any one know or remember? Thanks!

It depends on which version of device you have. The 16GB has about 13GB free with no apps or media installed. And the 32GB with 16GB more.
But a factory reset does not free all the space. Your media files remain intact and that space is not freed. That is why it showed only 6GB available. To clear everything you must go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'. That erases your media files too.

I recently installed the Xperia Carbon Rom to the HD+ and did a full wipe and cache cleanup through CWM...or so I thought.
Today, as I was looking through my storage settings, I noticed that I only had 3.68 GBs of storage left in Internal Memory...I haven't instaled anything, and am using the barebones rom as it is.
I hooked the Nook up to my PC and found that EVERYTHING from my prior rom was still in internal memory....everything.
My question is, is there a surefire way, script, flash, or otherwise, that I can wipe my Nook HD+'s internal memory without damaging the device or erasing the recovery partition?
You must be talking about your media files on your internal sdcard. Those are not wiped with a "full" wipe in CWM. It saves your media files. If you want to do a 'full-full' wipe, including your media files, go to mounts and storage in CWM and choose 'format data and datamedia'.

I guess I'll have to try that later...I guess I got used to the old Nook's way of formatting.
Thanks for the info!

Hey guys and gals,
Recently flashed AlRoger's CM10.1 ROM, I love it. Great ROM, awesome.
However I have a problem and that is the space I have for apps. In the "Storage" section of settings; I have 3 areas. Internal Storage (around 250mb) Internal storage (around 13/14gb) and external storage around (14gb).
Problem is, the smaller internal space is what is used for apps; and as you can imagine, after installing just a few apps it was full. At the moment I have used the built in android Move to SD feature which moves some of the apps data to the other internal partition. But I want more REAL space.
I have tried using INT2EXT+ but when partitioning with MiniTool, a "Blank SD" notification comes up and I can't do nothing and am forced to reformat it. When I partition with TWRP it fails to mount the new SD-Ext it makes. So INT2EXT+ isn't working...
Is there any other way I can extend my internal storage (/data???) partition using preferably the larger internal storage?? If necessary I can use the external but of course, I would prefer to use the internal simply for ease of taking the External SD card out if I ever need to.
Sorry if this has been covered but I can't find nothing.
Thanks in advance,
Roo.
What ROM you previous have?
Something is not right with your partitions.
You should have around 1.87 for the first internal storage (system, cache, data)
And around 12.81 for internal SD
You must have come from an older cm10 in the period when there was an "old MTD" partition, pre April-2012, then without restocking you installed alroger's .
Restock to GB, then install cwm kernel, and reinstall ROM again.

I came from MIUI v4. And no I didn't restock.
Will restock and reflash CM10.1, thanks a lot for the help mate.
Will report back if it is successful.

Hi There
I got my Nook HD+ a couple of months ago, and I've started noticing quite a bit of slowdown in Apps, in particular getting a lot of "xxx isn't responding, do you want to close it - Wait/OK messages.
I've installed various tools to monitor CPU/memory etc but not been able to. Running Cleanmaster to clear memory and caches sometimes seems to give some brief respte, but not for long> I also used Malwarebytes AV and found a trojan dialler, and removal of that againseemed to help for a little while, but the problems came back a few hours later.
I therefore decided to give the CM ROM a try and installed 10.1, and which I really like the interface and woul dlike to carrry on using it, it would seem that the problem is even worse on this version of Android. The basic laucher itself isn't too bad, but applications are barely usable, which initially made me wonder if I've got a hardware problem.
I'm using a Kingston 8GB memory card (I did read somewhere that somebody else had problems with speed on a similar SD card, but as far as I'm aware Kingston should be a decent brand)
I've been reading through the forums about the trim issue, and it would appear I have the MAGDA eMMC which is suseptible to the trim bug, here are the details on my version:
$ su
# cd /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device
# cat name
MAG2GA
# cat manfid
0x000015
# cut -b 19,20 cid
6
# cat date
10/2012
There seems to be a fair amount of debate about wwhether it's safe to try the fstrim fix along with 10.2 on this version of the chip. I'm also wondering if pulling the SD card and trying a hard reset might be worth trying.
Would anybody be able to to offer me some guidance on whether this is likely to be the trim issue, and whether I'm safe to try fstrim/Lagfix?
I have tried to read up as much as I can before posting, but there's a lot of information and I'm not entirely sure how much of it is currently in date, so I'm still not entirely certain whether this is what's affecting me, and what the best course of action from here is. Apologies in advance therefore if this has been covered elsewhere.
Thanks very much in advance.
Alex.
It does sound like you are experiencing LAG and are in need of trim. But you have the buggy emmc chip and I would not recommend it. Try booting to your CWM SD and going to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'. See if that helps. An ordinary factory reset does not really format /data and will not make it better. That is why you still had LAG after installing CM10.1.

Thanks very much for the reply.
I've booted back into CWM, and the Mounts and Storage menu gives me the option of mounting or formatting several partitions:
/sytem
/cache
/emmc
/data
/sdcard
There doesn't look to be an option for "Format data and datamedia" however (I get the impression this should be a distinct option?).
I tried formatting just /data, after doing so and booting back into CM it started to run through the initial setup. The CWM version I'm using is v6.0.3.2.
A bit of further googling suggests that /data/media is hosted on /sdcard, but if I navigate through the filesystem it looks like my personal data from the stock install is /emmc, but I'm a bit wary of formatting this in case it affects the stock ROM. Coudl this be what I should be formatting instead?

Are you running CM10.1 on SD? I thought you replaced stock with CM10.1 on emmc. That was my basis for saying you need to format 'data and datamedia'. It uses the same /data that stock used, thus carrying over the LAG problem. An SD install puts /data on the SD (unless you used the hybrid SD install which then does use the same /data partition on emmc).
And I am not talking about /data/media. I am talking about 'data and datamedia'. That option actually formats all of /data including /data/media. A format /data with CWM does not "format" anything. It erases all of /data except /data/media, leaving your media files intact. An actual format is necessary to remove LAG.

Leap,
Thanks for this! I did format 'data and datamedia' and this fixed the lag I have been experiencing. I had to register w/CM and it reloaded some apps from Google play and I had to re-install other apps using Apps Back-up and Restore. Not ideal having re-install periodically (monthly?) in order to keep it running smoothly.
This proves to me that these tablets need TRIM. However, I have an HD+ 16GB with MAG2GA Date:11/2012, FwRev 0x06. Do you think it would be safe to try KitKat on SDcard or would that still subject my Nook to bricking?
BTW, Bought this on the Mother's Day deal so, still under warranty
Thank again,

Understood. When I couldn't find the "data and datamedia" option on CWM I did some googling, and "/data/media" returned a lot of hits, it seemed like a plausible alternative.

That is why you did not find that option. You need to use the CWM made for stock from my HD/HD+ CWM thread.
And the lag when running from SD is likely caused by the brand and class of your SD. It needs to be a SanDisk class 4.

To get around having to re-register and re-install everything, do a nandroid backup with CWM and after the format 'data and datamedia', do a CWM restore. That will put everything back but your media files. To save them, back them up manually to your SD or PC and manually restore them later. I know this is a pain to do but it is better than bricking your device.
And I don't know anything about kitkat on SD and trim. Even on SD some things are on emmc.

Right, understood. Sorry, when I made the original post I think I don't think I fully understood the purpose of the eMMC chip, obviously if it's running on a separate filesystem can't be the same problem. I've now got a Sandisk card on order, will give that a try next and go from there.
Thanks for your help, appreciated
Hello, these days I ran into strange problem. Internal storage says there is only 2 GB available from 16(yes I know its not exactly 16gb), but I don't have that much files. I ran cleaner apps, used sdcard analyzer in Es explorer and nothing shows that can use this space. You can see on screenshot that only 26% is held by Android folder but lower you can see that 10gb is used. So what is taking this space? Also there is no hidden files or folders and my PC shows same. I'm on succulents CM 11 latest build.

A 16GB device has a little under 13GB left to share between /data and internal sdcard. The internal sdcard is actually emulated and is a part of /data (/data/media), that is why it is shared. And I'm not sure about succulent's CM11, but I know bokbokan's CM11 also mounts his ART cache in /data, taking more space.
You can see by your graphic there is just under 13GB there. Much of it is used by /data and probably the ART cache. Look in /data with your root file manager to see what is taking space.

Thank you for your answer! It seems in data folder there was files from internal SD when I was on stock! I wondered why cm installing wiped it, but it seems that it just saved it /data/media

A data wipe with CWM does not wipe media files in /data/media. You must go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia' for that to happen.
And CM11 puts media files in /data/media/0 so your file manager would not see the old files.

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!

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.
