Thanks, digixmax.

Since I'm on Linux, case sensitivity isn't an issue for me.

I'm actually trying to get CM10.1 on a uSD card, not CM10. I did the CM10 from the image file thing a month or so back and it worked pretty well--I ended up doing a lot of work to resize the partitions--and developed a great dislike for gparted in the process.

I'm trying to stuff this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050368 onto a uSD card, but it seems that the boot.img is set to use emmc and that there's really no way to change that once the .img file is made.

Thank you for your help and for all of your really educational posts. I've been making it through page after page of stuff in the past few days. There's a lot to learn/relearn for an old Linux hand like me.

I tried applying Succulent/(iamafanof)'s SDcard build method to CM builds compiled by other Developers and the results have been hits-n-misses.

Have you tried Succulent's CM10.1 builds?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] willmore:
No, not yet, but I'll go looking for them. I'm also looking into seting up my own builds. Should be fun. :)

Seems I can't quote your link since I don't have 10 posts, yet. So, please envision your link quoted here. If anyone needs it, just cast your eyes up one post.

And done! Sorry that took me a while, I got sidetracked by his(?) discussion of uSD card performance and it took me a while to test all of my cards and select the best one. Lesson learned: I have a lot of uSD cards lying around!

Now, do I feel brave enough to try to do an update? ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
There is a whole thread on comparative performance of SD cards specifically for the purpose of running ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005633.

To update from your current CM10.1 build to a newer build, just do steps 4-12 of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2098419.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] willmore:
Yep, saw that one. I even went out and bought one of the suggested cards. Seems to work well in my DINC. Sadly, the Nook is having to make do with the next fastest--which is still a good bit faster than some.

I know, I'm nerving myself up to touching anything on the emmc. :)

Edited to also ask, why do we make the DATA1 partition small and the SDCARD one so large. That just makes it necessary to 'move app to SDCARD' more than necessary. Why not make DATA1 large and put a small SDCARD partition for whatever apps might need that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
You can adjust the relative sizing of these two partitions to match your specific needs.

/sdcard partition (counterpart to /media partition on emmc) is for storing user content. /data1 partition (counterpart to the /data partition on emmc) is where user-installed apps' programs reside, but many of the apps store their data on the the /sdcard partition, and for certain types of apps the app data can take significantly more space than the app program itself -- e.g., I have run across a RPG video game which consumes ~35MB for program but ~300MB for data which it stores on /sdcard partition.

I managed to survive an upgrade! I did have to manually download the most current gapps and change the preferences of goo.im to sdcard0, but that was pretty easy.

One quesion. If I hadn't manually found a newer gapps, wouldn't the play store just have updated those apps to the newest version when it ran, anyway?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Yes, though the apps don't automatically get updated (unless you check the "auto-update" box when they were first installed) -- rather you should get update notification from Play Store (on the home-screen top bar) if/when there are indeed updates, then if you hit the notification it would open the Play Store to start the update process.

For convenience Developers typically post link to the latest gapps for their given build. If you go looking for most recent gapps package you need to make sure that the gapps version is compatible with the CM's Android base version -- see http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] willmore:
For some reason goo.im was picking an older, but still compatable version of gapps. Others had run into it and had mentioned what they did to work around it on iamafanof's blog, so that's what I did. It wasn't until later that I realized I probably didn't need to go through the trouble--oh, yes, the horror of using google and clicking on the top result! It was stressful, I assure you. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] baytee:
Confused on Step 4.

,I created my partitions and after reading forum posts to match these versions up, etc, and assuming they are the latest STABLE versions, I scrounged for and downloaded the cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC.zip and cm10_121011_gapps.zip, and copied those to the 1st partition on the sdcard.

In step 1 it says download sd_boot.zip, but after that, I don't see it mentioned anywhere else in the steps. But since it (unzipped) DOES contain the 4 files you tell us to put on the boot partition of the sdcard in step 4, I assume that's where I get those from, instead of the cm-10-20121231....zip, especially since I found no "P2" folder in this zip, nor u-boot.bin or flashing_boot.img, but they DO exist in sd_boot.zip. If I use these 4 files from sd_boot, should I at least overwrite them with the 2 files that do exist in cm-10-20121231....zip (boot.img, recovery.img), or not necessary?

I realize these instructions may work for an older CM-10xxxx.zip file, but don't quite match up for this version. So can someone please clarify steps for me?

Once I get this answer, I assume I can proceed with Step 7 and continue on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
This procedure in post #1 of this thread started with a different set of files than those you downloaded, and part of the content of SD_Boot.zip get used in step 5 (b) and (c).

Given the two files you downloaded, the procedure to use would be more like that for CM10.1 as described in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1. In step 3 you can/should use MLO, u-boot.bin, and flashing_boot.img for the SD /boot partition from boot.zip located at http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/boot.zip, in lieu of those in SD_Boot.zip.

Do not hesitate to ask if you still have question.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] baytee:
failed SD boot

Well, I get the dark screen for a few minutes then boots to stock OS. I have on the root of the card these files:

cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC

cm10_121011_gapps

MLO, flashing_boot.img, u-boot.bin -- extracted from boot.zip (not sdboot.zip) from Goo.im website as you told me.

boot.img, recovery.img - extracted from cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC

I checked the exact filesizes (38,356 and 179,812 as you state) of the MLO and u-boot.bin files. I even downloaded and extracted again, but same failed SD boot. (I'm deleting the folders B&N OS creates on the card each time too). Also, I had set the boot partition from within Minitool to Active and the right boot type (0x0c) from your steps. My boot partition is 3.08GB. I don't know if that's an issue....I saw some posters saying it had a size limit, and others saying it didn't. I'm using a new Team brand class 4 sdhc card, which is the same brand I used on another Nook tablet with the same (or darn near) size partition, with success.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Although I have never created and used a /boot partition larger than 2GB, I doubt that your 3GB size is the cause of the problem.

I'd suggest that you give it another try by re-creating the /boot partition afresh then copying over MLO (to the freshly made boot partition) before copying the other files (for an explanation see section "Making a Bootable Recovery SDcard" at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31).

sdcard boots now but qstn on backup.

Did as you suggested and it worked fine. BTW is cylinder-aligned the default on the BOOT Fat32 partition in MiniTool? Or any way to check after the fact. Anyhow....I booted, installed the two zip files, then rebooted and setup the Wi-fi and Google account. I then rebooted and chose Backup in CWM to backup the internal OS. Right away I got 4 messages:

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/lastlog

E:can't open /cache/recovery/lastlog

but then boot, recovery image, system, data all backed up fine.

But then got a "no /sdcard/.android_secure found. . Skipping backup of applications on external storage"

Backup of cache completed.

No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.

generating mD5 sum,. Backup Complete.

So my question is, are these errors typical and to be expected? i.e. should I have a complete backup of the factory OS? I just want to make sure before I turn the tablet over to my son. I will mention that I had initially ran the backup before installing the zips, I saw the android_secure error (but I'm not sure if the others), thought to myself "hmm...maybe those zips needed installed first", so deleted the backup, rebooted, installed the zips and ran the backup again, with the listed messages above.

Also, since the backup folder (clockworkmod) is huge (about 800MB), can I move this off the sdcard onto my laptop hard drive, and then just if it's ever needed, copy it back to the sdcard? I'm surprised it's so big. He just got this NT from B&N as a replacement and as I asked, he didn't download or install any apps yet, although he may have played some stock games that it comes with.....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Cylinder-aligned is the default option. The other option would not work, so you'd know after the fact :).

I ran into these errors a couple of times, but everything seems to be there in the backup.

Yes, you can copy/move the folder between the PC and SDcard as needed.

The 800MB seems about right, FWIW without backup of /cache (which is not necessary) the backup of bare-bone stock ROM takes up a bit over 600MB.

Kindle app Store issues

I've been using this on an NT for a while now and it works great in general. I have noticed one problem. In the Amazon Kindle app, if you click on the 'store' button, it should launch the store on the browser internal to their app--this is what it does on my Nexus 7. On this ROM, it pops up a dialog asking me how I want to complete the action, with the browser or with chrome.

Shouldn't the app be overriding the 'open link with' function internally?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I never use the Kindle app, so I can't really comment about its specific behavior.

However the general practice I've observed when there are multiple browsers available is for an app (upon first-time invocation of external browsing) to ask and let the user chose which browser to use, and whether the user's selection is "this one time only" or "always"; if I select "always" it will remember the choice for the future. I personally consider this a feature rather than a bug/problem.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] willmore:
I quite agree that letting the OS and user chose what apps service different kinds of request is a good thing--but--the Kindle App needs to open this link *internally*, not with an external browser. On my CM7.2 phone, it open internally, on the stock NT OS, it open internally, on my Nexus 7 it opens internally, but on CM10.1 on the NT, it wants to open an external browser. And that really messes up the subtle cookie tricks the app wants to play as they're not shared with the browser.

Can someone please post a mirror of SD_Boot.zip? I haven't been able to get anything from them in ages.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I just tried the link Succulent provided (http://www.mediafire.com/?77vmhq6ce8c9hz3), it works fine; look for the download link near the bottom right on the first MediaFire browser-tab that opens up (and just ignore the iLivid browser window popup).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
Now can you post it to a host I can access? I never said the MediaFire link didn't work for others, just me. I have used Chrome, FF, and IE (barf) but I cannot download from MF on my home network. To clarify, here's what happens. I click on the download link, the arrow on the lower left shows where the download should show up, then the whole page refreshes and I never get the file. Same behavior on all three browsers, so I'll ask again, politely, if someone could please post a mirror for me so I can download it. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Ignore those arrows on the left, click on the green box on the bottom right with the words "Download (38.96MB)" as showed on attached screencap.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
Yes, thank you. THAT DOES NOT WORK. I'm not sure how much more plainly I could have stated that. While text in forums is hard to read regarding emotional intent, I get the feeling I'm being talked down to. Your condescending attitude is not needed nor appreciated. I know how to use download services, but apparently you think me to have the mentality of Bubbles the Chimp.

In spite of you, I was able to move forward thanks to Succulent who understood immediately the issue I was having. To save anyone else from this runaround from forum "seniors" who think they know better...here is a direct mirrored link to the download from Succulent.

Right from the get-go. Regardless...

Ensure superuser binary current.

Having ES File Explorer or another like app is a nice-to-have. Keeps system mounted as r/w if you need to get to system/bin.

You already know about OTA Rootkeeper. 100% stock required. Temp unroot.

Apply OTA updates. Reenable root with OTA Rootkeeper. Do NOT manually apply updates - you WILL lose root.

That is the process. Go back to the beginning and work your way forward to find all of the posts. You will see what worked and where people messed up. Don't take my word for it - it's out there.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Clamhost:
Hello ya'll for starters I was a Android user for 2 years before I switched to iOS 2 months ago. Why? Well I had to pull the battery on my S3 everyday for 4 weeks. I never rooted the phone or used ROMs or anything like that. I had purchased it new, and I was very angry. You can say the S3 left a bad taste in my mouth with Android. So I went for a 64GB iPhone 5 on Verizon, and I've been kinda bored with it. In fact reception on it is just as bad as my S3 was. I heard the DNA is better since it has a quad core processor, and that HTC phones have great cellular radios. Can someone help guide me the right way? I don't know if the DNA is for me, and unfortunately I cannot go in store and try one out.

I've been looking at the Note 2, HTC/Droid DNA and keeping my iPhone 5. I really like the customization of Android, but again that damn S3 left me with a really bad taste. So when people claim the S3 is better due to removable battery, and Micro SD storage I worry that I'm going to have the pull the battery out daily and have poor cellular reception. When I had my S3 I had poor reception even with Verizon! It was as bad as the Galaxy Nexus! Should I try a Samsung phone again? I don't know what to do....

So what do you guys think I should do? I'll most likely be listing my iPhone 5 tonight.

Thank you,
