I don't think there is any performace loss, just the space loss. Why don't you repartition the card after you load up the 2g image?
[Nook Color Android Development] vlucchetti:
I took an 8G card, re-partitioned after burning the 8g image and have that space available now for storage. Use EMP, works fine.
[Nook Color Android Development] jayhammy:
I'd like to use my 16gb card. What would you suggest? I don't want to waste the space on it.
[Nook Color Android Development] vlucchetti:
There have been some posts here and other forums stating that 16G does not play well with Froyo and NC. I guess it comes down to how much you plan to store on the card. I'm sure as the devs go on, they will tweak that.

I had two class 6 8 megs and used one of them. My first attempt was on a 2G class 4 and it was slow. 6 seems much peppier. If I can get a Class 10, I'll try that.

Going to try and just root the NC itself one of these days, then I can use an entire sdcard for storage only!
[Nook Color Android Development] computerpro3:
Anyone actually get the real sdcard partition to mount instead of boot when plugged in to the pc via usb?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
You could delete and recreate the 4th partition. Do you use Linux or Windows?
[Nook Color Android Development] tboothie:
Windows. So just use a partition manager as I would any other time? Anything specific when I recreate it?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Just make sure it is FAT and not NTFS.
[Nook Color Android Development] molesaied88:
awesome job man. your hard work is really appreciated. cant wait for the 16gb version! thanks!!!
[Nook Color Android Development] cainhunpi:
Hi. I have my nook rooted righ now. But this will be my first custom rom. Whn i turn it off and remove the sd card. Do i just get back to stock?

Thanks for the help. And keep up the good work
[Nook Color Android Development] isolated_epidemic:
When I let my Nook sit for a bit with the screen off, it will eventually reboot into my eclair ROM on the main partition. I have tried this on three different memory cards (a class 2 8gb, a class 6 16gb, and a class 4 32gb for reference) and it happens on all of them. Is this happening for anybody else?

I am on my 4th Nook Color now as the first three were defective for various reasons, I'm hoping I don't have to take it back again.
[Nook Color Android Development] wretchedlocket:
Ok, well just in case someone was wondering, the 4Gb image somehow fits on a 2Gb card. However, performance sucks.

Good thing I noticed I burned to the wrong card before I got on here asking for solutions to fix the performance :)
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
You will boot up to your internal memory. If you rooted the original OS then it should be still rooted after rebooting without the SDCARD.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Did the 4 GB image burn OK? I don't have a 4 GB card to test with.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
I am not getting any reboots. Are your cards fitting in your nook snuggly?
[Nook Color Android Development] SgtPecker:
Will I still be able to use the nook color for shopping and reading books with this like nooter. or will I have to remove the SD card? does it still have the Nook Black bar @ the bottom?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
You will have to remove the card.
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
I have this installed now and working, but I have a question. There are 4 partitions on the sdcard. The 4th partition is 6 gigs of empty space. I can not access it tho via windows 7/64 file manager. My sdcard looks like this:

N: boot...........FAT32 (117 MB) Active

*: system........EXT2 (149 MB) None

*: data............EXT3 (698 MB) None

*: ..................FAT32 (6 GB) None

How can I get that 4th partition to become visible in Windows 7 so I can transfer files to it ?

Thank you !
[Nook Color Android Development] cybertimber2007:
Right click computer > manage > disk management

Find your SD card & the 6gb partition and make it a partition?
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Goto Settings>Applications>Development

Uncheck USB debugging

Press "Turn on USB storage"

Press OK
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
When I do this it only shows up as "boot" and its 115mb in size. If I use root explorer it shows over 2g available but windows doesn't show it. I would like to be able to add a few files to the sdcard how can this be done?

BTW Thanks for putting this together now I will be running NF almost exclusively. That is if I can put my needed files on the sdcard
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I actually came here to ask about it myself.. i just had it happen to me...
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:

[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Was it doing this with the 0.5.9 image as well?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
I am not sure, i have only run up to the .5.8 image (didn't care to deal with the vold issue). As much as i liked the customization, i think i will give it a fresh shot.

For what its worth, with the lockup, i noted my battery went from 92% to 44%...
[Nook Color Android Development] gamerteck:
Works Great

Great release, very fast and responsive.

I've only had one issue where it randomly shuts down.

It only happens when the device goes to sleep, never in the middle over operation.

I'm using a Kingston 4GB.

Totally random, can't predict when it happens or if anything particular is going on when it does shutdown.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Thanks to Brianf21 and all you people here and at AndroidNet forums. You have made the nc a wonderful tablet. Thanks to BN for marketing it.

I have Market, YouTube HQ, Flash 10.1, Hardware accelerated Video Playback (VideoPlayer Neon), Texting (Google Voice), Angry Birds, plus many other apps.

I have in the emmc my rooted 1.1.0 system, ClockWorksMod installed internally and on my 8GB Sandisk class 4 this system.

I initially used Titanium Backup on my original 1.1.0 app and sided loaded them over here, restoring some of them with Titanium Backup.

Now the questions, I want to back up the current Froyo 2.2 sd system. What should I do?

Had heck getting market working

I did the standard kill google service, kill market, fix with rom manager, clear cache and reboot about 10 times. No help. Tried Market Enabler no help. I tried the fingerprint above and it didn't work for me. But the one from my EVO worked on the Nook Color!!!! Using the thread above got me on track. Thanks wretchedlocket!!!!

Here's what I did:

adb pull /system/build.prop

edit build.prop with a text editor

replace the Nook fingerprint = "ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys"

with this EVO fingerprint = "ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/htc_supersonic/supersonic/supersonic:2.2/FRF91/294884:user/release-keys"

Comment: Mount the Nook Read/Write (for some reason "adb remount" doesnt work for me)

# adb shell

# su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /systaem

# exit

# exit

when back to the c prompt (my dir is C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\)

adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\build.prop /system/build.prop

After all this, I once again followed the instructions earlier in this post to stop apps and clear cache, it finally worked for me!!

Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server

Ok, every time I try to add a google account to the Nookie Froyo here on my 8 gig card, I get the "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." error message. Can anyone help me out here? It's quite frustrating. I mean it lets me sign in through the browser, but refuses to allow me to associate it with the nook. I see a lot of people complaining about apps missing in the market, but I can't even pull up the market. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] drbellushi:
hey noob here

i am very happy i didnt buy the ipad!!!

nook color is more fun!!!

thanks to brain

couple of questions

i had a lot of apps on my rooted eclair how do i transfer my apps to the froyo sd bootable version?? (is there any way short of using adb to sideload them one after the other??).

second question if i am able to restore my apps how do i back it up.

third question :)...i ave heard that the remaining space on the 8gb sd is not accessible for loading stuff from pc is that true and what is the fix.....

please dont shoot me for not reading thru the whole forum....i tried too :(
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukisan:
I've noticed an answer to the space problem on the 8gb cards at least, the OS is mounting the /boot partition on the sd card to /sdcard even within android, when I load up "CD card & phone storage" in settings it says total space of sdcard is 116mb, indicating it is identifying the /boot partition, I'm not familiar with how to reassign partitions or I would fix and advise everyone else how to do the same, so any help would be appreciated
[Nook Color Android Development] Thibor69:
Can I go from eMMC to SDcard install ?

If I currently have: Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 Image for eMMC, Can I switch to the SD version ?? Would I just start from scratch ? I want Froyo OFF my internal memory.

Thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] kevinqian:
I got the same issue here. Tried login in from all the google apps and settings>Sync... nothing works.
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukisan:
Yes you can but you would start over, everything boot, data, and system would be on the sdcard, just curious, why do you want it off the internal? The internal memory is faster than most sd cards.
[Nook Color Android Development] jhcomputerguy:
Great rom.. One question though.. Is there a way to connect the nook to the computer and be able to copy files over the the sd card partition? The rest of the card shows up fine on the nook but when connected to computer, it only show the 119mb (or whatever it is).. I have an apk I want to put on it from my computer but I don't know of an easy way to get it on there.. Well, without using adb and short of using my computer as a server to download it..
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukisan:
Just a work around (assuming it's not an abnormally large apk) you can put that apk on the /boot partition and still access is from a file browser, I use astro for this and it works fine, just make sure you don't put too much on the /boot and don't delete anything in there other than the apk you copy over
[Nook Color Android Development] gunnerhk:
I've got a similar problem, except it doesn't shut down but boots into stock nook for some reason, even with the sd card still inside.

It occurs randomly. It may be dalingrin's latest kernel, since I don't remember this happening before the latest update, but I could be wrong.
[Nook Color Android Development] evilmerlin:
Just got the Nook color and I have a question regarding using a bigger SD card.

Say I have 32GB card and burn the 2GB image on to it. Would I still be able to access the remaining 30GB on the card for storage/apps2SD etc etc?
[Nook Color Android Development] k2snowboards88:
I've been having some problems with this rom. If I've been using another app for while and then try to go to the browser, it will often crash at launch and crash every time I try to launch it after.

App data also doesn't seem to always save. If I reload my device, I will sometimes have to re-input the settings for an app that I had set up prior to rebooting. I've had to set up comic reader mobi several times. RedditIsFun I had to set up a few times before it actually stuck. This is really pretty frustrating.

Any ideas for either of these issues?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I have the same issue. I use SetCPU to set the speed and added profiles (see AndroidNet forum) to make the battery last longer.

Did you format the cache using CWR 3.0.0.5? Use ROM Manager to boot into CWR.

Need some help...

Had no problem putting the 8GB image onto 8GB SD card. Problem is no matter what I've tried (with Easeus Partition) can't get either windows or the Nook to recognize the 4th partition as sdcard extra space. When I've deleted the 4th partition and then recreated as Fat32, reformatted, etc. when I boot it then shows as damaged SD card. Doesn't happen if I just write the image and leave alone. Want to use that extra space...what am I missing?

I am using the SDCard version. When I run CWR 3.0.0.5 and select boot into ROM Manager, the phone reboots back into Froyo. Is there an expectation that I have already installed somewhere else or am running it off of a different SD card?

<edit>

I was able to write a CWR 3.0.0.6 image to a 1 gb sd card and format the cache partition.

Still not able to download apps from Marketplace

</edit>

I am using the 2GB image. Is that why marketplace can't download? <facepalm> I've got to work on my reading comprehension skills.

[Nook Color Android Development] dieselstation:
um can someone post their "uImage" file found on their SD Card? I forgot to back up mine. It's the file that's in your SD Card's main folder when you load it under Windows.

[Nook Color Android Development] dieselstation:
thank you! :)
[Nook Color Android Development] tsukisan:
What options did you choose? just the defaults? Did you back up the data off the boot partition before formating?

I'm trying to comprehend how this works, by default writing the 8gb image gives you 4 partitions, /boot, /system, /data and /sdcard, almost all of the data is tied up in /sdcard, when we format using the SDFormatter does it combine the two into one creating a boot/sdcard or is it just rewriting the MBR in the correct matter?

Edit: When I choose either default settings (Quick format, format size adjustment off) or Full (overwrite), format size adjustment on, all partitions are wiped out and it will not boot due to /system or /data info left on the card, any insight on this?
[Nook Color Android Development] fuzzy25:

[Nook Color Android Development] :
Can't write the 8gb image to an 8gb card. I'm using Win32 Disk Imager and it's saying not enough space as soon as I hit write.
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
Format card first?

Remember windows can't see the linux partitions so the disk imager app may think it is too small to write to. This is of course assuming you have used it for this purpose before.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Write the 2gb image. Use EASEUS Partition Master to expand 4th partition to as large as it will allow. I had to do this. Credit an earlier post.

Just curious what benefits this provides over stock rooted nc?

Speed? I remember reading froyo had numerous improvements over 2.1. Also do you lose hardware video playback with this?
[Nook Color Android Development] TLJester:
I had this very issue.

from what i have read its mostly caused by built in SDCard writers ie laptops.

I did a full format (not quick) and used WinImage to write the SD card instead.

Works every time since then.

FYI: If you use winimage simply go to menu:

DISK>Restore Virtual Hard Drive Image On Physical Disk

Select the SD card.

Select the image file.

Bobs your uncle!
[Nook Color Android Development] TLJester:
I chose full format and size adjustment.

Restores 115md SD card to full 4gb SD card.

I have not played with re-partioning yet (waiting for my 8gb to arrive. and will also write to NOOK mem - warrenty be damned!!!)

Make sure you are not browsing or otherwize have your sdvard open or engaged.

Thanks for the reply TLJester, just one more question, did you backup and restore the info in /boot (i.e. uImage, uRamdisk, etc) and if so did you do so by copying the data off and back on?
[Nook Color Android Development] jelive:
Another Noob to NC question. Running this fine on 8GB sdcard. How do you boot to CW recovery? Doing so from ROM manager just restarts everything...?

Jim
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
If you are looking to backup, this is from faceman (faceman66 here) over at androidtablets.net "...the same program that you used to create that Froyo card (likely Win32DiskImager) has another button "Read" that allows you to create an *.img file on your pc of whatever is on the card. The reverse of what you did burning the card. So simple, it took me days to realize I had that ability with the program. lol. Just have to type in the destination of *.img file in the location box since it doesn't exist yet (ie - i typed in 'c:\sdcardbackup.img') and then make sure the sd card drive letter is selected to the right, then hit the 'read' button. wait forever, done. if it errors, delete failed img file and try again."

I did this, then bought a new class 6 8gb pny to restore my old class 4 8gb sandisk. Use this image with Win32DiskImager to restore. Look at the pny in easeus partition program and it had a few more mb of space but I left it the same size as my sandisk image. Everything seems to be working fine with the pny sd card in my nook running froyo.

Hi

I'm having troubles making the build to read arabic letters correctly . This is a known issue in android itself . Changing the libs would usually do the trick in my nandroid HD2 but not in this build .

I tried the libs ( modified (?) to read arabic ) of a stock froyo - nexus and others with no luck . It hangs after it boots .

Can anybody help me with this issue or at least tell me what this build is based on .

When I burn the 2gb img to a 2gb card it will boot and work fine. but for some reason the sd card only shows to be 114mb total capacity. this happens with my 8gb card using the 8gb image as well. why does windows only show the boot partition when reading the card? I need to do a restore and in order to do so I have to move 2 .img files to the root of the sd card which are about 500mb total and it says i dont have enough room on the sd to move the files over.
[Nook Color Android Development] danbutter:
Windows can't read the file system in the other partitions. That is why you can't see them.

You could try a live cd/dvd of ubuntu or similar if you would like to see all of them.

well I mounted the sdcard partition (mmcblk1p4) via adb and was able move the image files over to it, however, when i run the dd commands it says the path does not exist. also when i browse the sd on the device it only shows the boot partion as well. no sd partion
