Stock does not have the option to use Apps2sd. But why would you want too? Stock basically has unlimited app storage space as long as you do not load up your internal media SD with media files.
Or were you meaning that you wanted to move apps installed on stock to your SD installation of CM? Apps2SD does not accomplish that. You must manually copy them from stock to CM.

Hi Larry hope you doing good. I am running CM10 on my nook HD+ thus could sideload apps but I didnt rooted it (Following the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613 performed the point 1. and 3. and skipped 2.) . I installed certain games like NFS: Most Wanted which are extremely big almost 2 GBs and so others. Is it possible that if I can move them on the external SD card as they are currently installed on the inbuilt memory.

You are talking a little apples and oranges (stock and CM10).
If you followed the instructions in that thread, you installed those things to stock, as that is what those zips do.
CM10 is already rooted. If you wanted gapps on CM10, you needed to flash the gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip from goo.im. Use the CWM from the SD install to install them.
If you installed that game on stock, then what I said earlier about internal memory still applies. It has a huge area to install apps. No need to use Apps2sd.
If you installed the game to CM10, then the app is installed on the SD /data partition. But that is only 2GB. So that game would have trouble with CM10. But CM10 has apps2sd built in and you can move the game from the SD /data partition to the SD CM10SDCARD partition. Just go to settings, applications and pick that app and say to move to SD. It will move it from what it calls internal memory (but is really the SD /data partition), to SD (which is really the CM10SDCARD partition).

Okay I think I am getting little confused. I am not running CM10 on my Nook HD+. What I did actually is or have is (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613): following this thread I entered into Clockworkmod (CWM) Recovery and then flashed (Gapps/Play Store + Extras (rev2 - 2/3/2013) ) into CWM.
Thats all. I didnt flash the zip for rooting the device. Now I have access to the file browser and permission to install apks. And I am using it happily. But when I install the apk it gets installed in the device internal memory, the 32GB model. Thus it gets installed there but not to the external 16 GB memory card that I have inserted.
Going to the application manager doesnt shows with the option to move it to SD card. This is what I see. I am attaching the screenshot for so to avoid confusion.

And this SD card listed in the screenshot is actual Nooks Memory but not that of external SD card. The apps are treating device internal memory as the SD card memory
Well, as I have said to you many times, stock does not have apps2sd capability. But it can use most of that 32GB to install that huge app. As long as you have not loaded up your media sdcard with media files, you should have plenty of room. If you have it loaded up, move some of that to external sdcard.
Edit: some apps are hard coded to try to install to SD with apps2sd. That may be the issue (Edit: it is not). It definitely says it loaded it to SD (edit: not). One thing you could try is my swap SD zip so that the external SD becomes SDCARD.
And your third post said you were running CM10.
Edit2: that SD card number just means that it has 2GB of data that it uses on sdcard, not that it is installed to sdcard. The app itself is only 30MB. So if you do not want the app using 2GB of your internal media file space, do the swap I mentioned above.

I think I understood it. Thanks man. But if i perform a swap by flashing sd card zip. Will I be able to install in future the apps on internal memory or will this capability be gone forever? and in future after performing this flash, I can only install apps on external sd card. ?

The swap has nothing to do with where the apps get installed. You misunderstand. They still always get installed to internal. All this changes is where the apps store their data. By default apps install their data (media files and helper data files like that app does) to SDCARD. And on stock, SDCARD is the internal sdcard. The external SD is called ext_sdcard and apps don't use it. All my swap does is make the external card be SDCARD and the internal sdcard be ext_sdcard.
So if you uninstall that app, do the swap, reboot, then reinstall the app, the 30MB app still gets put on internal and the 2 GB of helper files get put on your external SD.
If you want to understand how the swap changes things, go to my HD/HD+ Tips thread and read about it.

So I rooted my nook hd and i have 2 questions, is there any way to move the data of my apps to my ext_sdcard now that i have rooted? I tried an app2sd app but it said my device does not have this capability. Also is your version of verygreen's CM10.1 compatible with the 7 inch nook hd? because it only sayd HDplus. Thank you, i hope you respond.

When you say you have rooted your HD, do you mean you have rooted stock so that it has root access, or do you mean you replaced stock with CM10.1?
And what do you mean my version of verygreen's CM10.1? I don't have a version of CM10.1. Or did you mean my swap zip?

I'm using Unofficial Carbon JB3 on a Nook HD+ 16GB. Settings | Apps | <select app> doesn't show any option to move apps to SD.
App Mgr III when installed says:
The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated.
Moving app to SD function cannot be supported by this device.
Have you seen or used the App 2 SD option on a Nook HD+?
Alternatively I'd like to use your sdcard / ext_sdcard swap utility. If I do I'd like to move everything currently in the sdcard folder to my actual external SD card. Would this be a good way of doing that?:
1) Copy sdcard contents to ext_sdcard
2) Run utility
3) Delete ext_card contents

Yes, follow those steps.
And app2sd positively does not work on the HD/HD+. And the reason it does not is the reason stated in the message, emulated storage. I don't know what the app would say after you ran my swap. Probably the same thing.
But be warned I have the CM10 swap set so it only will install on official CM builds.

Hello,
I am trying to use the mods posted Leapinlar in his excellent post here, but I am certainly doing something wrong since the internal and my SD card are not swapped. After installing the appropriate Zip file, I reboot my nook, but it does not see the Sd card anymore, it just shows the internal memory as both sdcard and ext_sdcard as if I do not have any memory card inserted. Once I remove the swap feature, everything works like before so I see both the internal memory as sdcard and my 16GB sd card as ext_sdcard. What I did
1.- I created the CWM 4GB card
2.- I copied both the SDSwap and remove SDSwap ZIP file on the CWM card
3.- Booted my nook with CWM card
4.- Chose to install the SDSwap Zip file
5.- Removed the card, inserted my 16GB sd card and rebooted
After that, with or without any SDcard inserted, the nook only shows the content of the internal memory as sdcard and ext_sdcard.
Thank you for any help for this silly newby here,
Miguel

What are you running, stock or CM10.1? If stock, it may be how you formatted the SD. If you used stock to reformat the card, the swap will not work. Get SDFormatter free on the web and format the SD. Then try the swap.

Thanks to leapinar and the junior op who started this post, i plucked up the courage to install sdswap. and its worked.
what i really want to know now is how to access my files on the internal memory? i use "es explorer" mainly, but if there
is another app that can access the internal memory that would be great.
I am using nook hd stock 2.1.1 with sideload mod and sdswap installed.

ES Explorer is fine, but there are other file managers that also work. Root Browser, Root Explorer and many others. Just look in ext_sdcard as that is where internal memory is after the swap.

Hello,
I would like the SGT7 to work like a modern day tablet:
1. Internal memory with emulated sdcard (for applications)
2. External memory w/removable sdcard (for media such as music)
I want the OS to create /Android /Pictures /Movie /Music etc. on the internal sdcard memory.
I want the external sdcard to be storage only for music and/or video files.
Can the SGT7 be configured this way? If so, is there a ROM or script for the P100 that can already perform this configuration?
Would I need a new .pit file?
I'm already rooted, flashed recovery, have flashed a few CM9 and CM10 roms already to this device and none have configured the tablet as I described. 2GB isn't much internal memory but I don't have that many apps.
Thank you!
Isn't point 1) and 2) the default behaviour of cm9 and cm10?

Thank you for the response. That is what I would have thought but after trying several roms the directories Android, Movies, etc. were created on the external microsd card. The installed app data is on the external microsd as well.
Not much idea on CDMA tab.
But I guess you try to take out external SD, then do wipe data or even reflash cm from internal SD card after that.
Make sure external SD isn't involved.
Then after all boots up OK, insert external SD.

UPDATE: there is no internal sd to mount to with the external sd removed.
Despite moving the CM 10.1 zip around the device to various folders via TWRP the zip wouldn't flash
Didn't work. Still trying to have an internal sdcard for apps and external sdcard for music files, movies, etc.
Hi! I have an 8 gb hummingbird, and I wonder if thete a way to move or even install apps or just some apps' data from internal sd to external one. For example, I installed Asphalt and now can't install Real racing because have about 500mb left.
Do I need to make some sdext partition on my sd? Basic sd swap seems like a little extreme and unreliable.
I'm running emmc cm10.1 stable.

You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 4. I have flashable zips there that will swap the internal and external SDs. After you flash it and reboot all new apps data like those game files will get stored on the external SD.

Yes, you must move old data from internal to external if you want it automatically available to apps.
You will have to reformat it to fat32. Use SDFormatter free on the web.
And no, that nook color technique does not work on the HD/HD+.
And the swap does not effect CWM. But CWM has an option to use the external SD (for both backups and flashable zips).

OK, SDFormatter formats only in exFAT, windows cant format volumes more than 32gb in fat32, so when I find right foematting tool I think it will be all.
Also CWM does not understand exFAT, so FAT32 will solve that problem too.

I'm pretty sure SDFormatter does fat32 unless the 64GB is causing a problem.

Isn't that what you want by using the swap? For downloaded items to go to external SD? They would go to internal SD without the swap.
They are only downloaded to external temporarily until installed, then they are put on internal.

I experience a strange thing when installing CM 11 in my p880 the internal storage appears in CM empty (freshly initialized) despite there having been files before installing CM from that storage.
Now, when I boot back to ClockWork it shows me the new empty /sdcard but when I install a backup from the external sd card of the stock OS than the contents of the internal SD card is back and all the stuff that CM created/added is located inside a subdirectory of it /sdcard/0/
And no the backup did not contain the contents of the internal storage only boot.img /system and /data and /cache
So apparently Cm11 is handling the internal storage differently from he stock ROM in a way that makes its original content inaccessible :/
What wonders me the most is that ClockWork assumes the internal storage behavior of the installed ROM shouldn't that be independent?
That surly must be a known behavior so whats up with that can I somehow make CM use the internal sd instead of its /0/ subdirectory.
Or is the only way to not have inaccessible files to format the sd card from ClockWork while it still shows it properly just before flashing cm11?
