Switching from emmc ROM to boot from sd - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Its been a long while since I rooted my nook and currently have cm10.1.3 loaded on my emmc. I want to try some of the SD booted ROMs and would like to know the best way to go about doing that without bricking my HD+.

I hesitate to suggest it but verygreen has an unofficial CM11 install for SD (HD+ only) in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572. Its not been updated since January 18, but I've been running it as my daily driver since then and its provided the most stable experience I've ever had on the HD+, as well as the snappiest with ART enabled. I've been running it from a Sandisk 16gb class 4 microsd and I used the Mini PA GAAPs that was current at the time. On EMMC I've previously used various versions of stock, CM 10.1, and CM 10.2. I currently have rooted stock on EMMC. The SD includes Cyanoboot and you can elect to boot from SD or EMMC at boot time without rebuilding the cache.

[Q] cm 10.1 question

I am going to be installing cm 10.1 sometime this week, but first I wanted to know if I would still have the barnes and noble shop app and the nook ereader software.

If you install CM10.1 to internal memory, no. It replaces stock and those things only work on stock. However there is an Android version of the Nook reader app that works on CM10.1.
But if you install CM10.1 to SD, stock is left intact and you can dual boot.

It is the Android Nook Reader app that is usually on Play Store. But unfortunately Play Store blocks installing it on the HD/HD+. The solution is to get it on the 1mobile.com store.

Thanks. Also, can you download books from barnes and noble's site for reading on the app with cm 10.1 installed?

I know of no video, but the CM10.1 dummies guide has got rave reviews for simplicity.

I concur. I used the dummies thread and I got it done on the 2nd try. It's a tad scary but if I can do it anyone can.

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] Run CM 10.2 off SD card

Is it possible to install CM 10.2 on SD card for Nook HD?. i would like to run CM off SD card without touching the stock rom.
I have seen a few very old threads with older versions of CM and thought there maybe a easy way to accomplish this task?
perhaps a img file that i can burn to SD card and boot?
TIA

Go to this thread. It still works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063968
The only problem is it is CM10.1, not CM10.2. The author promised a CM10.2 version for the HD but did not deliver.

Thank you for the link leap. I think i saw that one and noticed it was 10.1 and that the builds are not "official" CM builds
I thought it maybe possible to burn one of that official builds to SD card and boot of it..
TIA

Yes you can do that. Go to verygreen's CM11 emmc thread and if you read through the first post you will see he has included a version that will run off SD. See here:

Dual booting unofficial CM12.1 and official CM11

Does anyone have a method to dual boot the two? Would something like having CM12.1 on the eMMC and CM11 on an SD card be feasible? Thank you. Running CWM recovery 6.0.4.6 (if I recall correctly).
