I was in your boat, and I just did the SD card option on CM7. Here's what I did to get more out of your internal HD storage.

1) Follow this post. It is really not that difficult. You need to have adb setup on your home computer. How? If you've used Indirect's original rooting method, you should be setup with adb already. Basically, on your computer's device manager, it should show up an icon that looks like Android Phone, or something similar, and when you run indirect's rooting script, you should see a large number shown up on the initial screen. This is the hard part.

2) Follow this link It shows you how to install CWM on your NT. You need a spare SD card, use EaseUS or any partition tool and create a 50mb primary Fat32 partition. (I believe there's a thread that talked you thru it). Once you got CWM loaded on your SD card, boot it up, and use the "backup" option in the menu, and it will backup about 800mb worth of /data from your NT.

3) Then start your windows command prompt, go to your directory that has adb.exe, ie c:\ntroot, and then type "adb shell", it will initialize the prompt, and then you type the bold command, one by one.

4) Restore using CWM from your original CWM backup folder on your SD card.

That's it, it's not hard, just be careful and backup all your work first.

Update: My issue has to do with density hack. When it is checked, adw settings for larger icon sizes is ignored when powered on. When i uncheck and recheck density hack all is okay. I also see the same issue on my old HTC Sapphire.

With that said, i do not believe this is an issue with NT CM7.

Hey Guys,

I just installed CM7 Alpha Final on my rooted nook tablet. Also installed the gapps file. It runs okay, however I cannot install anything from the google market, including the google apps like gmail, google maps, or any of my own purchases apps. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Dave
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
are you using google market or google play store? the play store is the new android market so maybe thats why its not letting you download anything. try clearing data and cache of the market app under manage applications and see if that does anything.

My CM7 NT 16gb only says I have less than 1gb memory.

Is there any way to unlock the rest of the space?

Thanks in advance!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Yes there is. You have 2 options:

-Take your NT to Barnes & Noble and allow them to wipe all your data and give you 8GB of non-B&N content

-Repartition it yourself with however much space you want divided among your storage partitions. Here is the walkthrough:

Ok I rebooted it and it updated to google play market. The old market was probably why it wouldn't allow me to install anything. Thanks

That shouldn't be a problem. I unrooted to have BN repartition my NT, then re-rooted and installed the CM7 final and gapps.apk. Android Market automatically updated to the Google Play Store when I started it...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
Okay... I just updated to CM7 Alpha Final, flashed GAPPS, and am trying to restore all my apps and whatnot.

So first step was to install my Titanium Backup, which installed, but doesn't show up in my apps screen. Alrighty then...

Next step was to install Titanium Restore, which DID show up right where it was supposed to. So I go to open it up, get the "Loading info" screen... and it never stops loading. It never comes to a screen where I can start selecting the apps I want to restore.

I did the prescribed wipe data/factory restore. I've force closed TiRestore a couple times. I've rebooted. I've hit the "clear data" button (and prayed that it didn't wipe out those backups!). But for some reason I just can't get it to actually FINISH LOADING.

Thoughts?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
Nevermind. Had a borked TiBackup (did Pro, and for some reason, it wouldn't show up; the free version does though), so I reinstalled, and restored from TiBackup. Don't bother with TiRestore, it don't do nothin' but get stuck :p
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
With Titanium backup if you own the pro version, you still need to download the free version. The pro is just a unlocker key for the free version. I was confused the first time I re-installed rom and installed TiBa out of my apps from the market and nothing showed up. Then installed app from market and fully functional and then I read the description and realized my mistake.

Another SD Card Data Point Regarding Dual Boot and USB

I have a NT16 that would only boot to CM7 when plugged in; tried all the sd cards I could find (4, various makes, etc.). Nothing worked until I got a SanDisk Class 4 (32gb).

I rooted and installed CWM using directions by Albert Wertz on tabletroms and didn't have any problems

It seemed like everything worked when I followed your directions but after telling CWM to reboot my NT would just stop when I got to the screen that said "Team-B Presents"

I assume this is the result of a mistake I made but going back I can't figure out what I could've done wrong.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chaqfoistylo:
Hey there, I had the same problem w/ android.process.media. Since nobody bothered to reply to any of my posts about it, I went looking for myself around the internet. One place I found said to clear data from the apps "Download Manager" and "Media Storage". I did it, and lo and behold, the android.process.media errors have stopped. Let me know if it works for you!

In other news, the problem where the system seems to have forgotten the names of the days of the week (i.e., today, Tuesday, March 27th registers as "3, 3 27" in all aspects of the device) is still there on my CM7int NT. Any help appreciated.

SD Card for CM7

I just got the SD Card CM7 up and running on my nook, and I'm a bit confused on putting files on it.

I watched Albert's videos and in the one he made the card, he resized the 4th partition for use of files. When I read the SD card directly on my computer, I can only access the first partition, and when I access the card on my nook, I can only read the 4th partition.

In another one of Alberts videos, he says not to connect the nook to the computer with CM7 running because it'll mess up the card. What do I do?

Edit: Also, is there anyway to get the nook's e-reader on CM7?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nunspa:
Do I do it trough CMW?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sangahm:
Yes, just download from the market. You can search a few pages back and read about my troubles with the recent version, however after loading the latest version of CM7, I'm able to load the latest version of B&N reader.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NikkieL:
An update on my WIFI issue reported before. CM7 would "lose" my WIFI setting when the NT went to sleep and would "remember" it when I went into settings. That continued til this past weekend when now CM7 isn't able to obtaining my WIFI. It keeps trying to "obtaining ip addresses" but never does. I had CM7 to "forget" the entry when I was out of range and added it back in when I got home but still no joy.

I also tried stock NT rooted and that has no problems connecting.

Which install are you using (Internal or SD): SD

What version is your CM7 download that you are using (should be alpha final now): Alpha Final

Do you have any mods on your NT (updates or system modifications):

If yes to above what have you installed

Where is this bug (main system or which application): WIFI

Can this bug be easily replicated: Yes (for me)

If yes to above how can we replicate it to check:

Thanks,

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] drymer:
It seems that the current drivers for the audio device on the NT has an issue with any apps trying to use both output and input, it can only do one or the other, for example, playing music on headphones and trying to do a voice search throws an audio error message. Hopefully there'll be a fix for cm7 or cm9
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] drymer:
Did you try turning wifi off and back on again?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] teknikk7:
I got the same issues. "Wi-Fi keep" from the market helps. I have options 3 & 4 checked so it pings a server often to keep the connection alive. Not perfect but its better.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Shadowblight:
All right so I am currently equipped with two 16gb Nook Tablets.

I've got the external (SDcard) version and it runs very nicely. However I'm concerned as to why I can't ever seem to get the SDcard partition to show on Windows 7.

What I've done: Used EASEUS to extend the FAT32 partition to take up the entirety of the rest of the card (that is to say, it's a 32gb class 10 Samsung, so obviously I wanted it to use that space). After this, I have tried EASEUS, EXT2 Volume Manager, and MiniTool Parition Wizard to go ahead and assign the bugger a drive. EASEUS gave me the most helpful bit of information: only the first primary partition is what Windows will read.

The problem is, none of these programs can actually seem to MOVE the partition either. I also question whether or not this would be problematic for booting when I've got it in my Tablets.

I would love to get it to show up while booted into CM7 (in fact, I have the driver installed and all), but it still persists with the same issue of being unable to actually access that sweet FAT32 chunk o' my dreams.

Any help/tips?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Have you gone into settings-applications-development and turned off ABD debugging? I did that and Vista saw the partitions.

Are you trying to view your data partition on PC via a SD reader or through your NT?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wesbc:
I tried following the instruction below and have used both EaseUS and Partition Wizard but for some reason it's only seeing a 190MB partition but with no more spaces to expand. The only other partition it sees is my C: drive

This is with a 32GB samsung micro sd and I'm using my windows 7 laptop with a built is SD reader. Everytime I insert the card into my laptop, I get a popup to format it which I cancel.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
You might want to try another SD reader. It's probably only able to recognize the first partition on your card. Even if you have have a microSD to SD adapter, that should work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigDogz:
Are you saying that you don't see the other partitions of the CM7 Final Alpha SD card within EaseUS?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wesbc:
Correct, This is what I see. Sorry I can not link yet.

i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x480/wesbc74/easeus.png

I'll have to find another PC to give it a try. I'm using a HP ProBook with the built in SD reader and using the Samsung micro sd to SD adapter
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigDogz:
That's definitely not normal. You should see multiple partitions under EaseUS after a successful imaging of the CM7 Alpha Final with Win32DiskImager.

Just a suggestion:

If you are trying another PC / reader, you may want to burn the image again using the new pc / reader because there is a chance that the image was not correctly burned by your existing reader.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Does that card that shows only the one partition in EaseUS boot the NT into CM7?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wesbc:
Yes, just exactly what I have posted above in my screen capture. I can boot CM7 fine on the NT.

I'm trying to re-image the card, but it's now saying there's not enough space. Was going go format it with windows 7 but it's only seeing the 190MB space and not the full 32GB. Is my card messed up?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
The format will only address a partition. You need to find a different partitioning program that can "see" the whole card. If you can get access to a linux computer, try gparted--or burn a 'live' CD of, say, ubuntu, and run gparted using that.

I don't know why EaseUS is only seeing the one...it may be the hardware and Windows that for some reason is only letting EaseUS see the one--it saw everything on my laptop with the microSD in an SD adapter.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sjpollan:
I flashed the internal version of CM7 onto my tablet Monday evening, and right off the bat experienced the wifi issues that others have been complaining about.

Yesterday I did two things, one of which (or possibly both in combination) fixed the issue for me:

- In Wifi Advanced Settings, I changed the sleep policy to Never.

- I followed this instructions in this post to edit my build.prop:

I don't know which of these fixed the issue, or if it was both in combination, but my wifi hasn't dropped since I made the change yesterday.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
I may be wrong but as far as I know Windows only recognize the first partition of a removable device such as SD card. So extend the last FAT32 doesn't make it visible to Windows.

I don't use CM7 to read books, so I move the last three partitions toward the end of the SD card and expend the first partition to take over all remaining space. I have a 8GB Sandisk, the first partition is now ~4.5 GB and I sideload all my books through Calibre to it. When I boot into NT native, the books automatically show up in the Library list.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:

Need help with steps to copy books out of Calibre into a place where they can be opened with the Nook app in CM7. I did not expand the FIRST partition (you are the first person I've read of doing that). I expanded the LAST position per the previous instructions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NikkieL:
I did. It just starts back and trying to obtain the ip address.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wesbc:
Thanks for the suggestion. Was able to boot off a ubuntu live CD and gparted was able to see 4 partition. Now I just need to know which one do I expand?

i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x480/wesbc74/Screenshotat2012-03-29020713.png

I see the 200MB partition that I saw on Windows and another fat32 partition that is 1.3 GB. If I'm not mistaken, I recall seeing a 1.3GB SD card on my Nook Tablet. So I'm guessing that's the one that I want to expand?

And not having use gparted before, I presume I need to unmount the partition before I can resize.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
For SD card larger than 4 GB, the 'not allocated' space is at the end of the SD card (the 5th partition). The idea is to move 2nd, 3rd and 4th partitions to the very end of the SD card, so the 'not allocated' space is between 1st and 2nd partition. Then increase the size of the 1st partition by merging 1st partition and the 'not allocated' space together. These are steps I used with MiniTool:

1. Insert SD card into Windows 7 PC

2. You should see the partition allocations of SD in MiniTool

3. Mine has five partitions - (1) FAT32; (2) Ext3; (3) Ext3; (4) FAT32; (5) not allocated

4. The first four take totally around 4GB and remaining 4 GB to the 'not allocated' space.

5. Select/highlight the 4th partition and select "Move/Resize" from the menu bar

6. A popup window shows this partition alone. Point the mouse to the end of the partition and if the cursor turns into a cross, this is for moving the partition. If the cursor changes to a railroad, this is for resizing.

7. We need to move the 4th partition toward the end of the SD, so drag the partition toward right until hit the end while the cross cursor is at the right end of the SD. When you are done, the 'not allocated' space should be now between partition 3 and partition 4.

8. Repeat 7 for partition 3 and 2 until the 'not allocated' space is between partition 1 and 2

9. Select partition/highlight partition 1 and select "Move/Resize" from the menu bar. And this time do resize.

10. Resize - point a mouse to the right side of 1st partition and make sure the cursor changes to a railroad. Drag the railroad toward right until all the 'not allocated' space is all filled and left no empty space between partition 1 and partition 2.

11. Now you just allocate all unallocated space to partition 1 which Windows 7 can see.

12. You can sideload books to this SD partition (as Card A) with Calibre and native NT's Library will recognize those books just as from a SD card without CM7 partitions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
Yes, the 1.30GB one.

You may want to read what tmlee has been saying about resizing the FIRST partition though before doing this...I am now confused as to whether we should make partition 1 or 4 into the larger one.

I don't know about the unmounting since I have been able to do it in Windows, but it certainly would make sense to do that. I would reboot the card after the resize.

That one is the only one you CAN resize unless you first moved partitions around--it is the only one adjacent to the unallocated space.

tmlee51

Wow, great instructions for the partitioning /moving resizing at

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24172269&postcount=524

However, the problem is, I resized according to all the PREVIOUS instructions, which said to resize the LAST partition, not the first one.

I simply don't understand the mapping between these partitions and the folders you see in Windows, in Calibre, in ES File Explorer or File Manager, etc. Nor can I figure out where the Nook app stores its books. If I expand the first partition, how do I use that space in the Nook app? Or, since I expanded the 4th partition, how do I use THAT space in the Nook app. Why did everybody say to expand it? How do you then use it? I really wish there was a matrix somewhere that mapped what is where.

I see books in Nook app, but when I look in folders using ES File Explorer or File Manager, I cannot find them anywhere. I know how to manipulate the partitions, I just don't know what good it does me if I can't get to them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ibilln:
All good! But your card has 4 partitions. The 5th "partition" is not a partition - it's...not allocated. Just fyi, not complaining.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
That's correct! Only four partitions and the fifth one is just a convenient way present that not-allocated space.

I still yet need to find out how I can read Chinese ebooks under SD CM7. Before that I continue reading ebooks from native NT (boot into NT and read) and this is a work around to allow me to load books to SD via Calibre.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigDogz:
For the life of me, I couldn't copy a 2G+ file from my home network to the SD card over WiFi with ESexplorer on my NT16 running SD CM7. I could copy an 800Mb file without issued. The SD card partitions have not been resized so it still has the original "4G" SD card img setup (4 partitions plus unallocated space). What gives?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
you don't have 2+ gig of free space to copy the file. Look at the posts on this page about resizing partitions. I don't run the sdcard version so I can't say how much space you will have on your card after resizing. The unallocated space on your card is not at present available for anything. It has to be included in a partition to be useable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Shadowblight:
Thanks tmlee51 for your response. My question is, does CM7 not by default install apps and so on to the initially 4th listed partition? Also, in fact, does this mean we should simply be able to DELETE that partition, or is the CM7 mod actually expecting the partition to be there in some format?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheBigDogz:
You know what...you are right. Sorry that I even posted my question cuz' I really answered my own question in my post.

Thank you for taking time to respond.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Maggot226:
Hey guys, first of all I want to say I love this. This is my first android device, thusly my first rooted device, and thusly your CM7 port is my first ROM. Anyway. My Nook was low battery, so I decided to power it off. It won't turn back on. Mind you, the nook was not dead, and the battery meter thing was orange, not red or whatever. I charged it for about 45 minutes to see if it would turn back on, but alas, it did not. I'm charging it now but I'm pretty sure something's wrong with it.

I did not install any mods whatsoever, just the Gapps install that was linked to at the beginning of the install thread. I have powered it off before the incident today and at that time (not today) I successfully powered it back on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Shadowblight:
By default the new NTs won't start up with the SD card inserted. Have you tried simply plugging your NT into a power outlet? That's how I have to get mine to load with the SD card in. If you're using the SDcard-only CM7, and want to load just into the default NT, just pop the SD card out before you try to power it on. If you leave the card in and just try to turn it on, it'll refuse to power on in my experience.
