[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooktablet:
you can use CM9 or CM7 or you can just root it. but i recommend either root it or try CM7, CM9 seems like there are many issues.

it has 16 GB, but only 13 GB is available to use, and in that 13 GB: 12 GB is used for B&N content, you have only 1 GB to use.

if you follow that thread, you still don't have 16 GB (because only 13 GB is available to use)

and instead of doing it yourself, why don't you let B&N do it?

btw, you should use sd card, it's not that expensive and you'll need it to root or install CM7,... most programs store data in sd card, you can also use a sd card to backup,....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tcbeachy:
Before you do anything, i recommend that you boot into CWM from an sd card and make a full backup of the stock tablet. Also go into settings and record all the unique numbers like the serial and the MAC address in case you brick it at some point and have to fully scrub it to unbrick it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
First, take a look at this thread for creating a Root/ROM/Recovery SD card by Albert Wertz:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528625

Follow those steps, and you can install any ROM you want on your Nook, painlessly. I second the recommendation that you back up your unrooted Nook before you do anything else.

Saludos,

Steve
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beantownmh:
Thanks for all the input guys! Will definitely keep you posted once it gets here and I get to work.

I'm still a little confused about the 13 gb that is locked... so even after a root, that is still only available for B&N content...? That's what has me lost, I don't get how rooting wouldn't unlock that to be used for any type of content
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
yes, why is the 13 gb still un-usable ?

hmmm, if you boot up an 'os' ( cwm 7.2 or 9 ) on the external sd card, and then the internal structure has to stay the way it is... the internal 'has to be' un-modified in order for it to boot up into stock nook 'os'.

but when the dev gurus get all done with the replacement of the internal 'os' ( next month ? ) then we will be 'in charge' and get to use the memory the way we want.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] patterone:
still confused

i can't seem to glean a clear answer here. i have flashed my internal my NT with cm7 alpha final. Can I access the entire 16gb of storage? my storage tab in "settings" shows 5gb. where is the rest???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
You need to repartition. Either have Barnes and Noble do it or do it yourself using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531120
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] patterone:
will b&n do this to my cm7 system

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 AM ----------

my storage tab in "settings" shows 5gb. where is the rest, how can 12gb be "locked"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
In order to get the rest, you must repartition your NT so all of the space is usable.

Barnes and Noble's method will take you back to completely stock. You will have to reroot and reflash everything again. That's why it's recommended that you do it manually following the steps in the link I provided.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] patterone:
i just got my nt certified preowned from b&n. df -h shows 5.3G /data and 7.5g /mnt/media. has my system already been repartitioned??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Oh, then yes. It looks like your NT was already partitioned by Barnes and Noble. They changed your media partition from 1GB to 8GB (7.5GB usable).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] patterone:
ahhhhhh.... thanks so much, i thought i was losing my mind. what i was seeing didnt match up with the above discussion. thanks again
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
No problem. Glad to hear you aren't losing your mind!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beantownmh:
So if I'd like to get mine repartitioned by B&N before rooting I can do that? Do I just go to their b&m store and request to see a technician?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Yes, just go in and ask to have it repartitioned. If will completely wipe your NT whether you are rooted or not.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beantownmh:
Hi guys,

Thanks for all the help and responses. I got the Nook, and while it's a great device, I decided I actually would prefer something a bit bigger because I read a lot of pdfs and not just kindle/nook files. So I put it up on ebay and ordered an HP touchpad, hopefully it gets the job done!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] titanshadow:
Hey, I just wanted to say that you can also so it yourself, there are instructions posted in the big Nook Tablet FAQ in the General NT area.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Hey let me know how that goes i was thinking on doing the same but want to know if the touchpad is worthy, ive read they have triple boot going and have arch, ubuntu, and other OS's running in Alpha stage but is something. I like the screen size for my school projects. Let me know your review when you get it and start hacking it :).

just hold on, once we have booting kernel u can get to work on it earlier :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
You see, it's about the internals of the device. The Xperias (as any MSM8x60 device) are very complicated on lower levels, and it's not that easy to get it all working without having proprietaries from Sony.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dynamic503:
I don't think so,
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] krabappel2548:
Dude, are you a dev? Come on, it's very difficult, not just replacing some files, it's rom and kernel related, why do you think it's easy?

I'm working on a kernel for Xperia U, P and Sola, I'm trying to add new CPU freq and it's really difficult since it are st-ericsson devices (Novathor U8500).

If you know how to do it then just release a CM9 or ICS rom yourself..

all the files listed here are for all the devices that are supported by the freexperia team. Unfortunately our device hasnt been included in any of the builds since FXP122. When our device is updated the build will be listed for the nozomi as that was the codename for our Xperia S.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Stable version will come when Sony releases 3.x kernel sources. Until this happens we have freezed the code. Many things are already fixed in background but without phone functions its no need to run the rom.

After the copyleft is out we can fix modem and then we resume this ROM.

and yes, the U and sola are VERY similar, probably even having the same camera module. the p is again VERY similar, with a higher res screen and more ram.

u could probably just dev on one or two of them, and port over the changes to the other... got 2 tell u though, the chipset on these devices are BEASTS for performance! amazing gpu and cpu performance! also, for other kernel related features, u could get help from the galaxy ace 2 devs, as it too has the same soc, just underclocked..

Sadly there is no full disk encryption in ics for xperia s. Just disappointed in Sony.

Do you guys plan to add the standard encryption feature of ics in Cm9...If this is not coming in any way I will have to sell the phone... Damn Sony
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ambroos:
If you want things like that you'll have to get a BlackBerry. Full disk encryption is something nobody really wants as it introduces performance issues and as soon as you have hardware access it's never hard to get phone data, either by just bruteforcing the password/pattern/code or something else.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ace-drink:
why should it be easy to gain access....have fun bruteforcing a 30 character password.

This ICS standard feature is available for all other producers. I have it working on a HTC sensation and a Galaxy Nexus. And I need it to be able to use our companys exchange. Policy only allows encrypted devices. Galaxy Nexus works fine while being encrypted. It is considered no less safe then true crypt. Password of course has to be strong.

So question remains....will this standard ICS feature be activated in CM9? It is on other CM9 devices....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Hey,

i cannot promise that we get it to work, but the aim is to get it working. For now we first want to get the device running. As long as we dont have it up and running properly we cannot promise any features to be implemented. Full device encryption does have several needs and of course has to implemented in a very straight way, if not it wont be secure :P

Regards
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ace-drink:
Thank you mighty for your answer.

That is a statement I can live with. Great that you you will try to activate it. Of course the basics are more important for now.

Just can´t wrap my head around as to why Sony did deactivate this feature.
