SDCard Partition expansion

I don't do a lot in Windows but in Ubuntu Linux, you use GParted to build, configure, expand partitions. It is very easy and clear with GP. But with Windows, there are not a lot of good free tools. You have to buy something - which I refuse to do since I can do it for free with Linux.

Simple answer: either build a Ubuntu thumb drive (allows you to use Ubuntu without modifying your Win machine) or just install Ubuntu and dual boot to whichever OS works for you at the time. That is what I do. You have a simple menu at boot time that asks which OS you want to use.

See here for more: http://raywaldo.com/topic/ubuntu-linux/

I believe it only read and save the image of the disk space covered by the partitions.

Hi Tony:

Did you ever find a solution or workaround to this issue? I'm having the same problem and it's pretty annoying. I was thinking that next time I charge up to 100% I would first unplug the USB charger, reboot the device, wait for it to restart, then shut down and see if that actually makes it completely turn off.

cm7 wifi issue?

I'm sorry in advance if i didn't search this thread more careful, but i have been away from this thread for a while. I have a NT with bootable SD cm7, and i recall it had a lot of inherent wifi issue (wifi unable to turn on/off). I just wanna see if any update has been made to the rom to make this issue go away?

Thank you!

Is there any way to fit this into a smaller image (less than 4 GB)?

My 4 GB Card is not formatting with enough space for this ROM image.

Follow these instructions and you can put it on a 2GB card if you want to. I put CM10 on a 2 GB card with no problem.

I've been using the current SD version (alpha) since the summer as my main OS and have had only a minor wifi bug. It happens when I turn off the wifi, it once in a while doesn't turn back on. This is easily fixed by rebooting the device though. Everything else runs pretty smooth.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
SD version... after a sleep of unknown duration, when screen turned back on, wifi is usually not connected. requires opening wifi settings and toggling state--or sometimes just running wifi Analyzer causes it to reconnect to the SSID.

This is really minor issue, but others may have more difficulty getting a connection (reboot). I hope they are trying a cycle off/on before going to the reboot though.

I'm running CM7 - 7.2.0-RC1-acclaim-UNOFFICIAL internally. Build Date April 24. This ROM deep sleeps, wakes when requested, wifi restores on wake and battery drain is not a problem. I ran for a long time on SD before going internal.

This ROM works really well for all the times I need.

Cant seem to find the proxy settings. Have they been moved or removed? If they have been removed that sucks as it means adblock Plus is useless on CM7 then. Are the proxy settings in CM9/10 tho?

CM10 or CM7?

Guys I've got a question that is definitely oftenly asked all around the forum but I want your fresh up-to-date opinion.

I run Hashcode's CM10 but some stability issues are bugging me. And I've never tried CM7. Will CM7 provide overall more stability for daily use than latest builds of CM10?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
I havent had any issues running CM7 all this time personally beyond the missing proxy setting that is.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
I have been running the SD alpha in a Nook tablet 16GB since "whenever" without problems--wifi sometimes needs off/on after a sleep, but not big issue. It is absolutely smooth...for my uses, I don't even think about changing; no reason to.

Comment to Celtic---just looked at the OP in this thread; it does not have a link to the ROM thread where download is. Suggest that be put in the OP with a caution that Questions/comments go in this thread.

need external sd-card to install apps??

NT 8GB Internal CM7 Beta current release clean install

Everything works fine except for some apps I install I get the error "This app needs SD-Card to be installed." I'm running without an external SD-Card in the slot, but I have the use internal storage for apps checked. Can I resolve this without having to buy an SD-Card.

I've been running the CM7 alpha off my SD card since the summer and just a few days ago installed CM10 internally. I don't like that it drains power a lot faster than CM7 did, so I want to install the CM7 beta internally. If I flash the internal CM7 ROM over CM10, will CM7 play nice with cyanoboot?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
For Cyanoboot to be used internally it needs to be packed together with CM boot image and then the combined package installed into /boot (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25588117&postcount=8). The only NT CM7 build with built-in Cyanoboot that I am aware of is Succulent's at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/cm7-2-rc1-build-20120612/.

If you're looking for a CM ROM with better battery consumption than current/recent CM10's you might want to try ChrisHoffman's CM9 v0.05.3. CM9 is ICS-based so you'll get lots more compatible apps for your NT than with Gingerbread-based CM7.

I'm confused now. When I turn on my nook it goes into cyanoboot and loads the emmc. When I flashed the CM10 ROM it also installed cyanoboot, so can I uninstall it so I can install this CM7? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481826

I don't use that many apps, the ones I do use are compatible with gingerbread so I should be fine. I don't want the CM9 build because I want video hardware acceleration. My two problems with CM10 is the battery life and the way it renders pictures. I read manga and it seems CM7 applies AA to pictures while CM10 doesn't. I would post the screenshots to screenshotcomparison.com but it looks like the site's down.

What looks smooth in CM7 looks jagged in CM10. I looked it up and I think it has to do with what DPI android is set to. I noticed some of the icons in CM7 are a bit blurry and menus look bigger compared to CM10. How should I approach flashing that particular CM7?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Assuming you had used SD-based CWM recovery method to flash emmc CM10, in order to go back from CM10 to CM7, you can try the following (

caveat emptor: at your own risk

):

replace recovery.img on the SDcard with the recovery version contained in CM7-9_CWM_v5.5.x_8gb-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640958 (extract and rename new_cwm_recovery.img to recovery.img before copying it to SDcard)

replace the previous CM10 zip file on the SDcard with the CM7 ROM zip file

add to the SDcard flash_CM7-SR_CWM_v5.5.0.4_emmc.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640958

boot the NT to SDcard from power-off

(optional: backup NT's current CM10 ROM)

wipe cache/data/factory reset

install CM7 zip

install flash_CM7-SR_CWM_v5.5.0.4_emmc.zip

remove SDcard, reboot (or power off then power on) NT

play store problems

I used cwm and put cm7 on my nook and everything worked including google market. About a day later though google market mysteriously disappeared. If I try to install play store it asks me to log into my account then all of the sudden it closes every time. how do I get it back correctly?

Thanks for reading.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Google Play is the updated version of Google Market.

I'd suggest you try deleting then re-adding account info in Settings->Account.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fahraynk:
well, the working google store mysteriously disappeared.

I tryed downloading a google play store apk, and it installed. When I click the app, it says "you must add an account to the device to continue, do you want to add one now ? yes/no"

If i click either yes or no, both options close the program...

theres no way to get to settings for it.

Any ideas ? I would use cwm to redu the whole installation of cm7, but since the app mysteriously disappeared wont it just happen again?

ps, what is the best version to use of cm7 ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
CM7 is based on Android Gingerbread, so you need to search for the app in the Gapps packages for GB which can be obtained from http://goo.im/gapps/.

Is there some reason why you prefer CM7 over the more current CM10?

Cm7 was very stable and quite excellent for me. But you should consider upgrading now, Cm10 has been around for almost 10 months now.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
My experience with CM7 (the Alpha version preceding the version you're using) was fairly positive, only a few occasional force-closes. A potential cause of the problems you're experiencing might be your SDcard's speed class. For running ROMs class 4 is best due to its read/write throughput optimization in favor of short & non-contiguous memory blocks, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005633 for more detailed comparison & discussion.

Nevertheless I'd recommend you try iamafanof's CM10.0 build dated 12/31 http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/, it's very stable and has good battery performance although it does not have the latest bells-n-whistles of recent CM10.1 builds such as multi-profile support.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] movrshakr:
I totally concur with the previous post. Try a different card, different brand. And you don't need a fast one. many people found the standard speed ones work better for them.

Also, I see nothing wrong at all with the alpha CM7 version. Some people like to change to the latest and greatest. I prefer to stick with something that works unless the newer "thing" has some capability I really need (want?).

I plugged it in and the N on the connector didn't light up...started searching (from phone)for a similar issue in the brick threads..but nothing..then when I started typing this, I noticed the power connector was amber...tried various button combos, still nothing...ejected and put back in the SD..nada..still black screen with back light..it didn't boot to any screens either..just straight to the black screen...any ideas?

Edit: ok, nvm...once I finished sending that msg, I unplugged it, held down power and N, the backlight went off...I hit power again, and it rebooted fine...go figure..lol

To use ES File Explorer to edit system files, you need to go to ES File Explorer settings and checked "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System". To edit buid.prop, long press on the file and open it as text in ES Note Editor. Build.prop is in your system folder.

For wifi problem,

Try - edit your build.prop and commented out "wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 20" by "# wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 20".

Not sure if it'll help with the random wifi drop.

While you're there, change "dalvik.vm.heapsize=64m" to "dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m"

Wifi calibration,

Turn off your wifi and open up terminal

# su

# insmod system/etc/wifi/tiwlan_drv.ko <-only if tiwlan_drv.ko is not loaded, check by lsmod

# start wlan_loader

# ifconfig tiwlan0 up

# wlan_cu -b

# / w p 1 l 2 f 2 <-there is space between each character

# / t b v 21

# / t b t 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

# / q

# /system/bin/rmmod tiwlan_drv

Now you can turn on your wifi.

For mounting media partition,

Try - edit your build.prop and add, "ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/media" and

"ro.vold.switchablepair=/mnt/sdcard,/mnt/media".

I don't know if this work, but in my CM7 build it work when you turn on USB storage. It will mount both sdcard and media partitions.

For reading epub with Nook App,

Copy your epub to /sdcard/Nook/MyDocuments and refresh in the app.

No HW decoding.

Reinstalled all players - still no go.

Big thanks, Succulent!!! That definitely did the trick!!

When I looked at those entries in the build.prop it showed

ro.additionalmountsmnt/sdcard;mnt/media
ro.vold.switchablepairmnt/sdcard,/mnt/media

So, it was missing an "=/" preceding the "mnt/sdcard in both cases.

When I added the "=/" back in, I could see the media partition in "settings>storage", but I had two entries for my sdcard. Not a big deal, but, I then edited it to:

ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/media
ro.vold.switchablepair=/mnt/sdcard,/mnt/media

and that solved all the problems. :) I can see all usable partitions (internal storage, sdcard, and /mnt/media) and have USB access to my sdcard and /mnt/media.

Major thanks to you! :)
