sdcard only showing 115.81Mb for 0.6.8

brian,

It's showing 115Mb on /mnt/sdcard. In EASEUS, the 4th partition showed up as having something like 6Gb. Something is screwy with how the Nook is recognizing these partitions. Expanding the 'sdcard' 4th partition with EASEUS thus doesn't fundamentally change the way the device is seeing these partitions.

I'm not the expert, but it looks like the sdcard partition is not recognized as such and the boot partition shows a path of /mnt/sdcard with these contents after a clean install: uImage, uRecImg, uRecRam, u-boot.bim, uRamdisk...Android, Nook, .android_secure, LOST.DIR with a total capacity of ~115Mb

One level up it shows: sdcard 5.86Mb, emmc 0mb, cache 0mb, secure 0mb, asec 0mb.

This seems to be a recurring issue as I tried to search before posting this. Please advise how to correct the partitions to properly recognize the 4th as the sdcard. Is this the way the partitions are defined and mounted in your image?

Thanks!

Thanks Brian - this build is AWESOME!

Hey Brian,

Thanks for this build. I REALLY love everything about it (the boot animation, the wallpaper - everything!) However, I think there is something funky going on with the sd card partition. I noticed the 115mb file size as well (even though Easeus says 6GB or something). I also noticed that I cannot install one app that I've been able to install on your other builds and the non-custom 0.6.8 build. The app's support website says to check the sd card mount.

Fantastic work, man!

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
also with 2Gb image - sdcard only showing 115.81Mb for 0.6.8

Brian, same thing. I just tried the 2Gb image to see if it was something else. No good. Same behavior as above. Let me know if you solve this and another image is available. I'll try and post results.

EDIT: Also confirming that market installs are failing
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Did you delete Google Framework data and Market cache then reboot?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Try this to regain the balance of your sdcard. Open up the terminal emulator then type:

su
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1 << EOF
d
4
w
EOF
reboot

After the reboot:

su
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1 << EOF
n
p

t
4
c
w
EOF
reboot

If you have adb, you can cut and paste the code, but you do not need the su command.
[Nook Color Android Development] dzigns:
Brian,

Yes, I definitely deleted both Google Framework data & Market cache and then rebooted my Nook. The first time, with a fresh install when trying to add my google account, I received a 'Google Voice unable to connect' error (or something close to that). I then deleted the cache & force closed both Market and Google Framework and rebooted. I now longer received the Google voice error, but still had problems installing apps. I reburned the image and tried again, this time clearing the cache, etc on those two and rebooting before trying to add my google account, however I still get errors when trying to install at least some apps that access the sd card.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
This is the expected results for the 2GB image.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I am creating the image now if you don't want to do the commands.
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
I tried again with the 8Gb version, clear cache button was grayed out on fresh install, cleared data in Goog framework, same results only 115Mb space available. Let me know if you find the root cause.
[Nook Color Android Development] dzigns:
Hey Brian,

Thanks, I actually did the commands (using Terminal Emulator) - I posted my last comment before I saw yours. However, I received a couple of warnings or errors while doing it and it didn't seem to make a difference (still only 115MB of space & unable to install apps that use the sd card).

After the first command (just before the reboot command) I rec'd the following:

===========================================

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 244704.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old version of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): Partition number (1-4):

Command (m for help): The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table

fdisk: WARNING: rereading partion table failed, kernel still uses old table: Device resource busy

===========================================

After the second, I rec'd this:

fdisk: WARNING: rereading partion table failed, kernel still uses old table: device or resource busy

Thanks for all your help! I'll try out your new image. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
Great. waiting for your post to give it a try. Hoping to use EASEUS to push the 8Gb 4th partition to 16Gb for your image
[Nook Color Android Development] will75:
Which would i burn for a 4gb sd disk? The last time, i just used the custom..
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Even when I create the partition on a linux box the nook only see it as 115 MB, which is the remained of the 2GB sdcard. Which is find if were a 2GB, but it is not. I will keep playing with it and try to figure out what is going on.

In regards to the Market, you should be about to download and install apps. Has anyone been able to download apps?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Rich,

You were right, it does mount the /boot partition to /sdcard.

/etc/vold.fstab needs to be changed. The word auto at the bottom needs to be changed to 4.

## External SD card p4 is vfat ( sdcard )
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 4 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

Recreating the images now.
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
Brian, not a dev, just an IT PM by trade so know enough to be dangerous :) Went with the symptom and thank you for investigating and taking time with these images. I'm really looking for an SD based daily with Froyo or better, flash and someday(praying) bluetooth to open this sucker up :)
[Nook Color Android Development] jhcomputerguy:
Market did not work for me at first. I could not even download and apk from another Web site. Just deleted market cache and google framework data and shut down.. Then restarted and market is working for me.. able to download and install.. From market and Web sites.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
The updated 8GB image is up.

The updated 2GB image is up.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Apps from market won't download

When ever I try to download from the market it's unsuccessful. What shoulf I do?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
When did you download the image? If you just did it, then read back a few pages for the market fix.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Are you using Windows or Linux?
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Thanks, it worked.
[Nook Color Android Development] dianeofarcadia:
sorry, I should have known to state that. Windows.

I have this card set up nicely, so think I am going to grab a couple of class 4/8g later this week. So far 0.6.7 is working nicely. Looking forward to updating. ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] dzigns:
Thank You!!

Hey Thanks Brian! That new image worked BEAUTIFULLY! This is really awesome!

Thanks for all your hard work! :)

p.s. whatever build.prop you've used with this is really great, I've jumped through hoops with different ones to try and get all my apps to show up (some would show up with one build.prop, but not another...) This one seems to show everything all together!! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
If anyone else wants to upgrade and you have access to a Linux box with a card reader then you could copy the files to your existing setup. You would have to dd each partition, mount the resulting image file, put in your current sdcard then copy from the mounted image to your sdcard. I can supply the dd images if need be.

If you don't have a extra computer to play with, you can always setup VirtualBox/Ubuntu to get your feet wet with Linux.
[Nook Color Android Development] ddrddr:
same results here

everything works perfectly

thnx!
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
Brian,

So far the 8Gb image successfully was stretched to 16Gb using EASEUS. Market sign in worked fine. Gmail looks good, TiBackup now restoring some apps. Will let you know how the rest goes if any issues. Will be trying flash, slingplayer, playon(netflix and hulu plus). Very hopeful :) Thanks for your efforts!
[Nook Color Android Development] icoX:
thanks! market works now.
[Nook Color Android Development] richbutler1:
0.6.8 working well

Installed with the following results:

-Setup wifi, market, gmail fine

-TiBackup restored most apps from core nooter of 2.1 (be sure to uncheck stock apps/services when doing so)

-Had problems using adb to move a last apk or two over, tried FTP but the rights of the sdcard folder weren't cooperating, but ESFileexplorer's lan tab pointing to my home server did the trick

-slingplayer 1.2(hd-like version) working fine

-tried playon to view netflix and hulu, etc. Initially did not work until I went to market and reinstalled flash 10.1

-Netflix(played an IMAX documentary, looked nice) and Hulu (Plus in my case, played a 30Rock episode) are acceptable over wifi, both fill screen in landscape

- touchscreen sensitivity at edges is poor, but I think there was a tweak somewhere

- Nook app works showing my library (small so far), a free friday book worked just fine, but the children's read to me threw an error when I clicked the download button complaining 'File Type Not Supported'

- That's it for now, may try to see what performance for streaming is like with my jailbroken iphone 3GS using PDANET as an ad-hoc wifi hotspot for 3G on the road with sling/netflix/hulu

Brian thanks for what appears to be a good daily running off of a class 6 16Gb cheap Adata microSD card.

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but again i ask. 4GB sd will the 2GB sd work? What are my options? Am i the only one who buys 4gb sd disks? lol
[Nook Color Android Development] Foetus:
The nook app from the market doesn't support the read to me books. I don't think anyone has successfully ported the stock Nook reader to any ROM yet. The only way to use those books right now is to stick with 2.1.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Sorry, I meant to reply to you earlier. Yes, the 2 GB image will work. Download EASEUS Partition Master from http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm and extend the 4th partition to the end of the sdcard.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Legally we are not allowed to distribute any of BN's software, so I don't think anyone is putting in the effort to get it to work. That is why I think the sdcard image is so popular, so people can easily go back to stock.
[Nook Color Android Development] ddrddr:
i tried EASEUS at first with no luck, it doesn't see the card in the cardreader at all

then i booted up with gparted on a usb stick, extended the sdcard partition to take up the extra space, and it worked like a charm
[Nook Color Android Development] dianeofarcadia:
Thanks, it is on my list of things to learn. :o

wondering if it is safe to run the Touch Screen Calibration on this? Also, not sure if I am missing something, but everything else runs good except my browser (have used a couple different ones with the same results). It takes about 1-3 minutes to load a page. I did notice under setting the options to move to SD Card, would this make it better or is there a setting that I have missed. I have tried both wifi with fair connections and my 3g hotspot which actually is slower. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again!
[Nook Color Android Development] ClarkSt:
I've re-imaged my sdcard twice and neither time the Market shows up when I boot in. This is the 2GB .6.8 version. Is this in the 8GB version only, or something? Is it only in .6.7?

I've dug through a million posts. Where can I find the .apk for google apps and Market?

Thanks!!
[Nook Color Android Development] miniaturepeddler:
Just insalled the 8gb disk image. Beautiful install, easy. Followed directions and no bugs.

Thanks.

Most of my store apps installed ok.
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
Really wish they would get that working. I complain everywhere I can about that since I want it to work not just on the NC, but on my phone so I can use those books everywhere I can read any other book.

Would be great to have in the doctors office, restaurant, anywhere where you have to wait and have an impatient little child that needs something to do!!

There was a recent thread about the nook app on androidcentral and a supposed B&N person was in the comments saying they are listening to what the community has to say about the app and trying to get changes in. Let's hope they do.
[Nook Color Android Development] miata492:
just finished setting this up on my 16gb card for my nook and on an 8gb card for my wife's nook. i also used easeus to add the space to our cards and that looks like it is working well. this is by far the best rom i have run yet! excellent stuff! thanks!

i hope someone can help me....

was wanting to try out this room by booting it on my sd card. followed the instructions for windows here: http://nookdevs.com/Nookie_FroYo:_Burning_a_bootable_SD_card

i got a 'failed to write' error during the write of the 8gig image to my 8gig class 10 sd card.

then when i tried to use the HP tool (in Administrator mode) i get a failed to format error.

now the sd card will come on, come off, etc over and over on my windows 7 machine. putting up messages that i need to format before i can use.

can someone assist me please?
[Nook Color Android Development] ClarkSt:
Not to be the guy that says, "make sure the power cord is plugged in", but... check the write protection little switch on the SD card adapter. I had one that was bad - couldn't get it to go into write mode.
[Nook Color Android Development] supernoman:
Great ROM. I am comparing it to my stock 1.0.1 autonooter and I notice the autorotate takes a bit longer (slight delay). I wanted to try out the SD version before I committed to internal install. Is the slight lag on autorotate because I am running it off the SD?

On the desktop screen, the app drawer is the little grid. When you press it, it brings up all of the applications installed on the device. From there, find the settings icon then press on the applications menu item, then press on the all app tab at the top. Find Google framework and press that then press the delete data button. Go back to the menu list then press Market then press the delete cache button then reboot the nook.

Also is the setcpu program to overclock free?
[Nook Color Android Development] miata492:
you need to make sure that your card is a class 6 micro sdhc. if it is a class 4 or class 2 you will have speed issues. i have tried 2 different class 4 cards and had no luck. class 6 cards work great for me.

[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I downloaded the 2GB image and expanded to 8GB since the 8GB image would not fit on my Sandisk 8GB class 4 card. I used the partition app mentioned earlier to expand it to 8GB. I did the Settings > Applications > Manage Applications fix for Market and Google Services Framework (note must set to all to see both). To make Flash work, I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and sideloaded Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.1-fixed.apk from my Mac. I then setup an account at Crackle.com on my Mac using my Google email and then logged in with Nook Dolphin browser, went to all movies, bookmarked the page and played 3 10 to Yuma. It stuttered in window and full screen mode. I downloaded from XDA the developer's free version of SetCpu. Set the profiles according to thread over at androidtablets.net for max thru put for HD. Can any of you see if this flash movie plays better with a class 6 or class 10 install?

Excuse me. ahem. Noob (apparantly) stuck at burning image on sd card! got my fat32 reformatted 2gb microsd card in my laptop. execute the damned win32diskimager. select the unzipped nookie-froyo-0.6.6.SDCARD.2GB.custom.1 image (1,982,464KB) Get the warning that it will erase all data. Then i get this freakin message that there is "Not enough space on disk." Now I have to go kill someone...

UPDATE: Tried WinImage. this time I got to 98% and then "ERROR writing to disk one The parameter is incorrect." Where's my shotgun...
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
If you notice my reply above, I had the same problem with the 8GB image. Sorry, I do not know how to make more room. I used a work around given above that will not work for you.

I would recommend that you get a class 6 or class 10 4GB or bigger and expand 2GB to make full use of the card. To expand use the program mentioned earlier in the thread. The higher speed should also benefit you. I wish I had used a good higher speed. Be careful of which higher speed you buy. See other posts in this thread for recommendations.

Screen presses randomly

After playing some games (like Radiant HD), there are presses being registered on the screen without me doing so. After a few rounds of Radiant HD, my ship will go in one direction on it's own. Even closing the app, the home screen will still register these presses and try to launch whatever is there.

Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix? I am using 0.6.8.
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
That is because of the other partitions being formatted in a way that windows can't read.

Likely nothing wrong with your card.

I have seen this happen since .5.9 when I play angry birds.

It seemed to me to be the way I was holding the nook.

I hold it with fingers behind in the middle and on either end in front.

Seems to bend the NC slightly. I bent it back the other way when this was happening and it went back to normal. Don't hold it that way now and all is well.
[Nook Color Android Development] supernoman:
I have mine in a case with a hard backing so I'm not sure if I'm bending it.

I copied the latest image and my NC boots up fine. I could clear Market cache but where is Google Framework data? I only see the cache for google apps. A pointer to the right menu/options would be greatly appreciated.

Also - this ROM seems to have problems with our work 802.11n open connection. It connects and then disconnects. Works fine on our 802.11g network in a different building. The HC image works with 802.11n without any problems. This must be an artifact of the source ROM?

So what's the downside of not extending the partition? Obviously since P4 is the SDcard partition you loose 2gb of storage with a 4gb card. Any performance issues?

The reason I ask is that I have a 8gb sd card but don't have space to unzip the 8gb image. Putting the 2gb image on a 8GB sdcard works - with obvious lost of usable space.
