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!
TL;DR Want to put apps on external microsd card. Running CM 10.1.3-hummingbird. How do I do this

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.

Hello XDA community let me start by saying thank you for sharing all this great info. I finally made the decision to install over my B&N HD OS and go full Droid using cm-10.1-20130615-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc. Its running like a damn beast BUT one little thing is irking me. Whenever I download an app/game EVERYTHING seems to go to the internal memory and not my freakin' empty 32gb micro sd :good:. Furthermore, I don't even see the option in apps to "move to sd". How can I remedy this issue?
P.S- Yes the Sd card is formatted correctly and can be seen in storage.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Apps2Sd is not supported in CM10.1.
And verygreen has the emmc version of CM10.1 set to use internal memory by default and there is no setting to change that. But I have developed a flashable zip that will swap internal and external SD's so that the default goes to external. See my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and look at item 4.

Is this fairly reliable ? I purchased a 32GB model, thinking I would need it but, after 2 weeks I am hardly using any space. Perhaps I should return and get a 16GB model instead...

I don't get any reboots, but many users do. I think it depends on what apps you have installed and which run in the background that might be causing the crash and reboot.

Hey Leapinlar I tried your advice and I'm not getting any results. Here is exactly what I did.
1. Boot into CWM wiped the system and cache
2. installed cm-10.1-20130624-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc
3. installed NookHD-HDplus-SDSwap-for-verygreen-CM10.1-on-emmc-rev2-(06.16.13).zip
4. Boot into cm-10 went into settings then storage (Verified MicroSD is detected 29gb)
5. Installed HD Widgets and it automatically goes to the Internal Storage
Am I doing something wrong? Please tell me I am lol...
I also do a reboot and try again but no luck. Any other advice? Maybe something I can do manually?

The swap does not effect where things get installed. They will always get installed to internal memory. The swap only effects where apps download and save their media files.
If you are running out of room to install apps, delete or move some of the media files from internal memory. App installation files and internally stored media files share the same free space. If you get rid of some internal media files, more apps can be installed.

Hello,
First off, thanks to e.mote for the CyanogenMod 10.1 for Dummies guide and to the work put in by verygreen, leapinlar and bokbokan. The guide was simple and straightforward, I installed CM10.1 and CWM (seemingly) without a hitch.
However, when attempting to do a baseline backup, I'm running into some problems. I've searched the forum overall and gone through pages and pages in the Nook sections and not found any real solution. On my 8GB HD, when rebooting to recovery and attempting to backup to an SD card, I'm having the following issues:
When CWM loads, I get a "warning: no file_contexts" message. I've read mixed things about whether this is significant or not and what to do to correct it.
When I go to backup and restore>backup it seems to backup to the SD card without a hitch (although it has shown differing amounts of free space on the cards whenever I've attempted this). But when I insert the card into my computer to copy the backup, the only thing on the card is a folder called "LOST.DIR" and all the space but 3.1MB is free. I've done this 3-4 times so far, with two different microSD cards (one 4GB, one 32GB). I've both checked it and formatted the card (in FAT32) on a computer running Windows XP and one running OSX. Same results on both every time.
At some point when attempting to do the backup, the screen of the Nook begins to flash/flicker and doesn't stop until I restart it.
The first time I tried to do the backup, after I tried to restart, it didn't boot back up and the power button was unresponsive. Possibly this was due to overheating? I plugged it into the charger and it started up on its own after about 10 minutes.
Anyone else encounter this? Any solutions. Obviously I want to be able to back things up. I just rooted the device this evening, so I'd rather to not have to go through the install process all over again rather than have a proper backup.
Thanks!
You need to tell us which version of CWM you are running. And is installed to internal memory or SD?

Ah, of course! Sorry, that's what I get for doing this so late. Okay, so it's installed to the internal memory. The files I downloaded were this and this. When I reboot into recovery is says "EMMC CWM-based recovery v6.0.3.6".

Ah, ok. That means you have the newest version which puts the backup on internal memory. If you look at the menu choices closely, you will see it says to internal sdcard and the other choice is to external sdcard. So you will not find the backup on your external card.

Thanks! That'll teach me to just blindly follow instructions rather than looking around and exploring on my own - I didn't even notice the "Backup to External SD" option. So, thanks for your patience, your work on this and your speedy replies. Seems like all is well now.
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.

Hi, i wanted to ask this to leapinlar in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613, but since i can't, i will ask it openly. I've rooted a Nook HD+ 2.2.0 following that guide succesfully. Now I would like to try out cyanogenmod, but just try it out so if possible i would to run a hybrid configuration without changing to much in the internal file structure. My goal is to be able to use the tablet without the high temps i get whenever i look at videos or even use the web browser in the stock os.
So, after following the guide from that thread what would be most simple way to install cyanogenmod? (i mean, without following the other guide which would mean doing a factory reset, getting a 4gb sd card and other stuff)
Thanks

Try one of bokbokan's SD install versions. Either CM10.1 or CM10.2.

Thanks leapinlar for your response, yeah that was the guide i was referring to, the "for dummies guide". So this would mean i have to get a 4gb sd card, do a factory reset, install CWM in the internal memory and everything else that is written there? (this would mean overwriting the root i already did?) Or can i just use the CWM sd card that i used for the root and install cyanogen from the zip?

The 'for dummies guide' is for putting CM on internal memory replacing stock. You said you wanted to leave stock alone and install to an SD. That is why I suggested one of bokbokan's SD ROMs in the dev forum.
But yes, you can use the CWM SD you created to do the root to install a CM ROM to internal memory replacing stock. Just follow the dummies guide after the creation of the CWM SD.

hi again, i've been using the hybrid install and now my SD card is full and the OS is slow (i can't see the files that are making it full)... should i expand the partition in the sd card? (it is 127 mb)
hi again, so today i had another problem: i had to restart the nook because the cyanogen OS froze and during boot the SD card was never detected... so i turned it off, got the SD card out and the nook did a factory reset on its own with which i lost all my data!
i am wondering if the root was also lost amd what should i do to prevent this from happening?

Yes, if the device reset, you lost everything, including root if you had it. The way to prevent the device from reseting is to not let it fail to boot 8 times in a row. Turn it off until you get an SD inserted that boots properly.

I'm confused on what files to actually download?!! any help please?
Advice please
kk so last night i had a go at the kit kat tutorial.
Think I got the right files in the end. (see attachment photo)
Managed to get CWM flashed on the 32gb micro SD and insert it into the Nook and reboot it into recovery.
Then i needed to back up stock OS to SD but it goes through the process but at the end it says no EXT SD found.
So it has the back-up on the internal memory which i cannot get off.
Why did it not back up to EXT SD?

That EXT SD it says it cannot find is not the external SD you are thinking of. It is looking for an old scheme not used anymore where apps sometimes were stored in an extra partition named that on the external SD. Your backup was probably stored on the external SD. It depends on which option you chose when you made it. If you chose the wrong option it might be stored on the internal memory. In any case it is easy to get it off.
