[Q] How the hell do I connect my phone to the usb port? (CM7)

I'm on Cyanogenmod nightly 52 and simply can't connect my phone to my computer : / When I plug it into the usb-port and active file transfer from the drop-down menu the computer still does not recognize the phone or the memory card. I've installed the united mobile driver (or whatever the name was..), do I need to install anything else or...? Help appreciated!
EDIT: the usb file transfer works flawlessly with for example other Froyo based roms

The file system is organized differently on cm7, in relation to stock I think.
Do you have an external sd in the phone? If yes, where are all of your files kept, in int or ext?

[Q] Connecting HD+ as mass storage under CM10

Hi all.
I'm using Nook HD+ with Dec 31 CM10 build.
Everything seems to be fine, except connecting to computer via USB. I expected Nook to appear as flash device (either 32GB flash or internal storage), but it does not do that. Android system notification area contains not USB-related messages, no messages at all. Do I do something wrong or it's desired to be so?

I don't know if it got fixed, but earlier USB mass storage was broken on HD+ CM10. You have to use MTP. Go to settings, storage, menu, USB computer connection and put a check in the MTP checkbox. Then look for portable devices with window explorer. It is not a drive letter.
Edit: I just tested the 01/08 version and USB mass storage is still broken.

Thank you for so detailed reply. Is this problem specific to Nook HD+ CM build or it's an issue of CM10 at all?

It is specific to the HD/HD+ version of CM10 because of how they had to set up emmc media to work.

As far as I could see this is also in CM10.1 not possible. The option (USB Connection to PC) is greyed.
Any chance that this could be work in future?

I doubt USB mass storage will work, but MTP works.

Is it just my feeling, that access via USB/MassStorageDevice is much faster than MTP?

Probably. MTP was created for music file transfers and is not that fast.

USB/MassStorageDevice is definitely faster. You are mounting the filesystem from the device natively in your OS. MTP pretty much just works with full file transfers. So where you could with MassStorage append to a file, or edit a large file quickly, with MTP, it has to download the file to your system, edit it, and then transfer the whole file back to the device.
The closest I have come (under linux), is to use jmtpfs which simulates a mounted filesystem and lets you do regular file operations, under the hood it basically does the file download/ edit / upload for you, still slow.
I really miss being able to do the mass storage device...

You can download to the nook and transfer with the cable to the PC. After downloading and transferring the required files, just make a bootable SD per the instructions 1a in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Then use that to install the Unknown Sources zip. No need for root if you don't want it.

[Q] HD+ Something wrong with internal storage after wiping

I just installed CM11-3/28, and it's working perfectly so far.
I was stuck at the cyanogenmod robort the first time, so I wiped data and installed again. It succeeded this time, but the internal storage is now only 27G in all. I guess the original data was somewhere on emmc, but no idea how to find and remove them.
Wish some help, thanks：）

Look in /data/media. You can remove most of the stuff there. Just leave the 0 and clockworkmod folders and their contents. The rest is old stock media files you probably do not want. But 27GB for internal storage is not bad since it does share the 32GB with the CM11 /system files and /data files.

Sorry, I didn't express myself clear. I can find it on my device but not after connecting to computer (don't know how to make nook a removable device instead of portable device, so that can show all stuff). The profile is over 3G so it would be hard to replace it on Nook.

You have really lost me on that comment. What are you trying to do by connecting to your computer? And what stuff are you looking for? And what do you mean by profile over 3G and need to replace? ???

So sorry for that><, actually I am confused myself. I have two questions.
The first is, total space of Nook should be 32G, but it now shows only 27G on my device, I wanna see if I can find out what the 5G is when connected to my computer. But under USB debuging mode, it still shows only internal storage(27G) instead of the whole emmc(32G). So, according to your first reply, is the 5G capacity system memory? If so, I don't need bother.
The second one is still about connecting to computer. I can visit data/media on my device but not on my computer, how can I get root access to Nook from my computer? (I found this, but haven't tried yet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587717)

I don't know why you think you need to have access to root with your PC when you have it directly on the Nook. Just use your root file manager to look at and delete any unnecessary files as I described earlier. Those locations are the only ones to get rid of. The rest are required so don't mess with them. And the maximum you will have will be about 28GB since the rest is used by files necessary to operate CM.

To back up leapinlar, even android in settings -> storage, shows 27.01GB total space for me. Not more. Like he said, that's all you get. Normally, any hard drive that says x amount will have less - the one is your computer does as well (normally). That's how it is.
While its really good your learning, like leapinlar, I'm getting the feeling like your pushing to crash the device. That's fine if your confident that you can bring it back from that or don't care or have someone else around to fix it. Don't let anyone stop you from learning but just remember - if it crashes - you'll have to deal with it.

For multi windows and bigger screen (no.
Thank you so much for answering!

'adb shell' is what you're looking for. It can be difficult to setup and get working for our device, but it's worth it in the long run.

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.
