First, I would like to thank cicada for the 0.6.8 image, thecubed for sdcard bootable CWR image, shad0wf0x for his stock images, dalingrin for his kernel, rookie1 for his buttons, Wretchedlocket for his icon and theme help and samuelhalff for his help and his CWR image that I customized. This should fit on a 2GB or larger sdcard.
I've created a custom image for an SDCard using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 as a base. This will fit a 2 GB or larger sdcard. If you want the sdcard to be larger, you will need to delete the 4th partition and recreate it. It should be a FAT32 format and give it a label of sdcard. Added custom bootanimation.zip designed just for us Chuck6993. Thank you Chuck6993. If you like the bootanimation, please visit his thread and get him some beer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952188
Instructions:
Burn image to sdcard
Boot Nook with sdcard
Changelog:
4/29/11
Added a status bar toggle
Added a feature to put up a notification as to the status of the status bar (this feature can be turned off in Nookie-Froyo Utils)
Added QuickDesk
Cleaned up the icons (I am finally happy with them... draw9patch)
Updated Nookie-Froyo Utils
Point of interest: If you set QuickDesk as your default launcher and add the status bar toggle to QuickDesk, you will be able to double tap the home button to hide or show the state bar.
4/3/11
Status Bar and Notification window in black
No-frills CPU Control added
Added the following lines to init.rc
Code:
# sd card read speed fix
write /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb 2048
Updated NookColor Utils and rename it Nookie-Froyo Utils
- Forced Status Bar options added
- Change density and added new densities options
- Moved Reboot to about tab
- Added Poweroff to about tab
Updated to dalingrin's 3/31/11
Cleaned up the spacing on the status bar... Icons are not jammed up against the clock
3/31/11
dalingrin's 3/28/11 NF kernel
Cleaned up the status bar
Long press on home virtual key to pull up recent apps
Force the status bar in all application; look under NookColorUtils (I am not happy with this app, I am going to completely rewrite it shortly.)
Fixed strange flick behavior on status bar (I have not worked on the flick up and flick down yet)
Browser fix is included in the image
For more on the status bar, see this thread.
Again, download (or better yet buy) setCPU to overclock
Issues:
If flash is not working in either Dolphin or the Android Browser, you most likely cleared dalvik-cache.
The fix: I have included a copy of flash on the sdcard partition, if flash stops working, go to the sdcard in Astro and tap not press the flash apk. You will be prompted to open the app manager. Uninstall flash then go back into Astro then tap it again to reinstall it. After that is done, go to both Dophin and the Android Browser and delete data and cache under the applications in settings.
3/18/2011:
Unzip the attached framework.zip and copy to /system/framework/
This will be difficult for Windows users unless you have adb installed, but I would like some Linux users to test it out. I will try to write a script/app that will unzip and copy directly on the device. If someone else wants to write the script that would be okay too. I am try to avoid making everyone re-image their sdcard just to get the update.
Now to the good stuff, I have everything, messages, buttons and icons on the status bar centered vertically and the drop down notification bar is full screen at 160 LCD density.
Let me know how you like it and how you installed it. We need to come up with a easy install for non-techies that boot to the sdcard.
3/15/11 version 3:
Cleaned up the buttons on the status bar
Cleared out data and rebuilt it (I think this is will fix the problem with the market and wifi. Sorry to make you download and burn it again.)
Again, download (or better yet buy) setCPU to overclock
In the works:
Make the notification drop-down take up the full width of the screen
Move the status bar to the bottom
Make the start bar black
3/14/11 version 2:
dalingrin's latest kernel (dalingrin, if you are reading this, great work)
Add rookie1's buttons to the status bar (Thanks Rookie1!)
I still have some things to clean up but it is working well. Click the N button twice to bring up softkeys whenever there is no status bar.
Put on dalingrin's latest kernel. (If you want to overclock it, you must use SetCPU)
Using ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5
Changed build.prop back in a hope to improve video
LauncherPRO <----------
DO NOT DELETE THE SOFTWARE THAT CICADA INSTALLED. (If you delete the default software, market will not display all the packages.)
Use dd or www.winimage.com to burn the image to the sdcard. Under the disk menu, choose your drive, then under the disk menu, choose restore image. Use easeus.com to resize the last partition.

Is the nook reader the app from the market, or is it what came with the nook?
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
From the Market.
I'll try it out when I get home. So you resized data or whatever for an 8 gig card?
Good choice of basic edits to start customizing the system...same stuff I would do.
Sent from my swype-a-myn-a-calkytalky googly super premium deluxe astounda phone
Yes, the 4th partition.
Looks awesome - cannot wait to try it (once i can download it). Thanks for the work!
will give it a go once I get home
I can confirm that this will work using Win32DiskImager to burn to an SD card.
Great work
Awesome works well with win32.
Does this actually require i use an 8gb sd card? Or can I use any size? Cause I have 2gb, 4gb and 16gb... but no 8's...

It will need at least 8gb to fit the sdcard image. I'm using a 16gb and it works fine, however I am wasting space.
BTW OP can you make a 16gb version? It would be much appreciated.
Can someone tell me how to create this as a 2gb image? I would love to learn it and not just have it given to me.
I can make a 2 and 4 GB version, but I would need to know the last block number for each. For a 16 GB version, I can give instructions how to blow away the partition, recreate it and reformat it.
very nice! runs a little laggy from my class 4 card though.
if i can ever get my ADB working, i'm running this from my internal memory for sure.
I'd like a 4GB version please!
Disk /dev/sdb: 3963 MB, 3963617280 bytes
122 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1023 cylinders, total 7741440 sectors
The end block on the last partition according to fdisk -l is 7741439
Hopefully that's what you're asking for!

And thanks for putting this together, this is my first foray into Nookie Froyo and you have made it a blast!

I am sorry for being a noobie but how do I go about installing this ? I already have my NC rooted and I have a 8 gig sdCard. I also have winimage on my pc.

If you check the original Nookie Froyo thread there is a step by step there, but the basics are:
Boot up WinImage
Choose "Restore Virtual Disk Image"
Choose your SD Card
Navigate to your .img file
Hit Apply, wait about 10-20 minutes (depending on card speed)
Turn off Nook Color
Insert SD Card
Boot up Nook Color
Wait about 3-4 minutes after boot for everything to "warm up"
Enjoy

download the zip of froyo, extract it to your desktop. open winimage, click the button with the three little dots. select the file you just extracted, make sure it's going to write to the drive with your SD card, click the write button.
thats it, throw the SD card in the nook and boot it up.

This is a guide I've compiled to simplify Androidiani theming on the XT720. Took me forever to read posts & work through trial & error... credit to Kalagas & Zepplin Rox for the majority of this post, I just compiled into one guide.
------------------------------------------------------------
1st install Open Recovery
If you already have open recovery, but not andriodiani, download Androidiani to your desktop.
Open the zip & copy the “open recovery” folder to your sdcard root (copies over all previous OR files).
Copy the “update.zip” file from Androidiani to your sd card root & leave it there (nothing else to do with this file at this point).
Then boot your phone into recovery (power up, when 1st boot animation appears, hold down the ‘volume up’ key).
You should have the androidiani menu above the standard OR menu.
Just reboot your phone to normal operating android os.
Download the desired theme to your desktop from theme developer.
Use windows/linux via usb to create the following folders on your sd card, you have to create the folders manually the 1st time, 1-4 below:
1) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/apps/All modded .apks
2) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/bootanimation/empty
3) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/fonts/empty
4) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/framework/framework-res.apk
Open the theme zip & copy the files to their respective folders you just created.
OK lets go for it....
Reboot into Androidiani OpenRecovery . (power up, when 1st boot animation appears, hold down the ‘volume up’ key).
Just to be sure make Wipe cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik-cache.
Then choose Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu - Menu Install and Restore Theme - Install Theme, pick the install option and let it finish.
After Theme is installed, make again Wipe cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik-cache and Reboot.
You should have your new theme up & running.
Go Pack Go!
Do you have any links to some themes?

What am I supposed to install the update.zip file? Just copy it the the sd card root and leave it there? Or is there a menu option in Androidiani/OR that I'm supposed to choose?

I did indeed get it working sort of, Thank you! I lost access to the menu that pops up when you hit the power button (the shutdown/airplane mode). The phone would just power the screen down and then rebooted immediately.
As such I'm going back to square one and reflashing it back to 2.1, and try upgrading to 2.2 again. Not as bad as it sounds... since my 32GB class 10 sd card arrived this morning.

The Androidiani Open Recovery is a modded version of OC, It just adds additional functionality. No reason not to use it IMHO.

Try copying this file to the root directory of your sdcard.
If that doesn't work try using the Install option in Dexter's System Recovery app.

I was wanting to know if anyone out there knows of a working Boot Screen Animation Changer for the A70/101IT that can successfully change the boot screen without crashing over and over?? It would also be even greater if anyone knows of one that also allows you to download new boot screens within the same app too!?
Lastly, if it really is possible to change the boot screen animation on the A101IT to something different... what is a good site that has them AND what file format ending (like .gif or whatever) should I look for? Also, are all custom boot screens for other Android devices (like Android cell phones) compatible with the A101IT?

Awesome, thanks a ton! You rock! You're very helpful and informative! Much appreciated.
This is cool thanks. Will this work on the 70 as well . Also, Would you happen to know the dimensions for the images. I doubt that the bootanimations from a phone will have the right size images. If someone knows what size they need to be for the 101 and the 70 that would be some good info.

Any size smaller than the display size will work. I believe the images are automatically scaled down to fit the screen but not scaled up. Some tests need to be done to find a good size.

OK so this works great on the 70. I used 800x480 for the images and they fit perfect.
You 101 users should try 1024x600. this is the resolution of the 101 screen. that is how i came up with the size for my 70 so it should work.
I read somewhere on here the size of pics needed for the A101IT needs to be 1200x1024 for the best quality but i have yet to test those exact dimensions. When I read about it from somewhere in here like 3 other people all confirmed the 1200x1024 dimensions as well.
(It may be the same for the A70IT too but probably not due to the 70 and 101 size difference)?
As a side note, getting bach to the bootscreen animation, how would I go about applying a new bootscreen because I downloaded a new one and thought it would apply itself but didnt, any ideas?

While searching around I found this site with a lot of boot screen animations http://cid-11d05b676a3170c4.office.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/Android/bootanimations

does anyone know if you can add sound to the animation? and if so how?
Here is the bootanimation i made for my 70.Just rename it to bootanimation.zip and paste in the /data/customization folder. (if that folder does not exist then just make it) I have more if you would like them let me know.

How do I apply a new custom boot screen animation??
I've tried numerous times putting new bootscreen animations in .zip folders in the /data/customization folder I had to create and I'm confused with how it's supposed to be applied?! Do I put it in the /data/customization folder and reboot... because I've done exactly that, time and time again but I still get nothing and it still loads the same boring factory bootscreen?

you leave the zip as it is, but you have to edit a line and put a line in
/init.rc
first (in init.rc) undocument
Code:
# export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1
to
Code:
export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1
then, after this existing lines
Code:
service media /system/bin/mediaserver
user media
group system audio camera graphics inet net_bt net_bt_admin net_raw
ioprio rt 4
insert ( or in the newer uruk versions, undocument) the lines
Code:
service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation
user graphics
group system audio graphics
disabled
oneshot
this gives you the animation after message "switching to rootfs" till the homescreen appears
its also possible to remove the urukdroid logo, but therefore initramfs.cpio.gz has to be edited
(/etc/scripts/init_lib.sh in initramfs)
the second part of uruk animation is in
/system/bin/show_logo.sh
it also can be deactivated by editing the file (but do not delete it, because its used for other things too)
I use the app su file manager & terminal. Conect you tab to your pc paste the bootanimation.zip to the root of your sdcard. Then unplug the usb. Then with su file manager or another superuser permited file browser copy thr bootanimation.zip and then browse to the /data/customization folder. Make sure that it is in the correct /data folder. There is one on the sdcard and one on the device. if u use the file browser I do then hit back button till it asks if you want to exit but hit cancel. Then look for the Data file. That is the one you need. Then reboot. Again must be in the /data/customization folder not the /sdcard/data/customization folder.

(/etc/scripts/init_lib.sh in initramfs)
the second part of uruk animation is in
/system/bin/show_logo.sh
it also can be deactivated by editing the file (but do not delete it, because its used for other things too)

Ok this is only needed if you are using uruk. If have rooted using churli's method then my above instructions are all yoi need.

I use the app su file manager & terminal. Conect you tab to your pc paste the bootanimation.zip to the root of your sdcard. Then unplug the usb. Then with su file manager or another superuser permited file browser copy thr bootanimation.zip and then browse to the /data/customization folder. Make sure that it is in the correct /data folder. There is one on the sdcard and one on the device. if u use the file browser I do then hit back button till it asks if you want to exit but hit cancel. Then look for the Data file. That is the one you need. Then reboot. Again must be in the /data/customization folder not the /sdcard/data/customization folder.

you have root? make sure to copy the .zip file to the /data/customization folder. also it must be named bootanimation.

nothing to do with the kernel, you must edit the /init.rc and enable the bootanimation, as written above

What you need
Xperia X10 mini pro
Access to the Android Market from your Xperia X10 mini pro
A computer with Windows and Internet connection
USB cable (USB-A Male / USB-MICRO-B Male)
USB or SD adapter for microSD

Connect the MicroSD card to your computer
Turn off your Xperia X10 mini pro and remove the microSD card. See the instructions that came with your Xperia X10 mini pro for further instruction.
Insert the microSD card into the included original Sony Ericsson microSD adapter (CCR-80). Do you not have one, the use a SD adapter, which often follows when you buy a microSD card. Both adapters work the same way.
Plug the USB or SD adapter into your computer.
Why not use built-in partotion tool in the recovery tools?
People PM me about that. The short answer is: You will loose all your data on the SD-card.
If you do not care about that, just bypass the part with partitioning the SD-card with EASEUS Partition Master.
You will then have to partition the SD-card from xRecovery or ClockworkMod Recovery. Find the partition tool under advanced.
The longer answer is, that... oh... never mind
Native Apps2SD
Some ROMs do not need an EXT-partition for Apps2SD, if they use native Apps2SD.
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/07/apps-on-sd-card-details.html
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Apps2SD
If this is the case, you do not have to partition your microSD card.
Preparing the microSD card for APPS2SD
You probably have a lot of pictures, etc. on the memory card. It's a good idea, just for safety's sake, to copy them onto your computer before you continue.
Note: Pictures taken with the stock camera is located on the SD card in the DCIM folder.
Download EASEUS Partition Master (www.partition-tool.com) and install it on your computer and then start the program. Home Edition is free (freeware).
In the Partition Master's main window you can now see all the hard drives, including the microSD card that sits in your USB or SD adapter.
Click the right mouse button on the microSD card and select Resize/Move. Be very carefull that it is the microSD card you click!
In the window that pops up, decrease the Partition Size until Unallocated Space After get as close to 1024 as possible, but not over. The space to be used by APPS2SD on the microSD card, can not exceed 1024 MB
Edit: It has come to my attention, that higher size, like 2048 should work fine too. But do we need that much space for apps? You can always resize at a later time using Partition Master.
Then click the OK button.
The main window now shows an unused area at the end of the microSD card.
Click the right mouse button in the Unallocated field and choose Create.
You might get a warning that Windows will only see the first partition. Just click Yes and continue.
Choose Primary at Create as, and EXT3 at File System and click the OK button.
Click Apply at the top left in the main windows, and then YES at the box that appears.
The program now starts to move the files and reduces the size of the existing partition and then creates the EXT3 partition used by APPS2SD.
Let the microSD card in your computer, for next, we will put some files onto it.
Place custom ROM etc. on the microSD card
Now that we have the microSD card in the computer, we might as well put some files and custom ROM and some special apps (apk-files) on it.
Create a folder on your microSD card and call it ROMs.
Inside that folder create folders for the custom ROM you want.
E.g. if you want CyaNo (R)Evolution, create a folder named CyaNo.
Then download CyaNo and put the zip file in the CyaNo-folder.
If any hotfix are realeased for the two ROM, you can also store them in folders.

Download needed apps for later use
To install a custom ROM on Xperia X10 mini pro, there must be a recovery app on.
There are currently two different:
xRecovery - xRecovery-thread
ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) - CWM-thread
Note: All Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs installs with CWM.
Note: It is possible to have both xRecovery and CWM on your Xperia X10 mini pro at the same time using Dual Recovery. To install this, you first need to have CWM installed.
The easiest way of getting CWM on your Xperia X10 mini pro is via Mini Rom Manager or Recovery Installer.
Mini Rom Manager and Recovery Installer can not be downloaded from the Android Market, but must be downloaded from xda and installed manually.
Create a folder on your microSD card and call it APK.
Download Mini Rom Manager and save the apk-file in the APK folder.
Download Recovery Installer and save the apk-file in the APK folder.
Download kFix and save the apk-file in the APK folder (i will get back to this one later)
Download Dual Recovery and save the zip-file in the ROMs folder
Now you can remove the microSD card from your PC. Remember to use the "eject" function on your computer.
Put the microSD card back into your phone, click on its rear panel and turn on your Xperia X10 mini pro.
Gain root on your phone
Enable USB debug on the phone.
Start Settings from the app-menu. Tap Applications > Devolopment > USB debugging. Accept warning-popup by tapping OK.
Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable.
Du not activate access to the microSD card. tap on Charge phone.
Download SuperOneClick (www.shortfuse.org) and unpack the zip file somewhere you can find it easily, eg. on the desktop.
Open the folder and run the program and click on the large Root button on the top left corner. The program works a little and finally ask whether to check for root. It is not sure you will see any reaction on your phone.
You can now remove the USB cable.
Turn off the phone, and the turn on again.
Along with root, SuperOneClick will install an app onto the phone called Superuser. This app is crucial as it is able to give other apps access to system folders.
After restart it's a good idea to find and start Superuser. Under the Settings tab, there is an update button at the bottom. Tap this, just to be sure that you got the latest binary.
Install Recovery Installer
Start Super Manager (or your favorite file explorer) and navigate to the APK-folder.
Choose the Recovery Installer APK-file and then tap on the install button (bottom left). If you are asked what action to complete the operation, then select Package Installer.
Maybe you will be asked to provide access for installation from unsafe sources. In this case, choose Settings, then tap Unknown sources. A warning will appear that you just accept by tapping OK.
Install Recovery (CWM or xRecovery)
Start the Recovery Installer from app menu. Accept Superuser request by tapping Allow.
Tap Install CWM Recovery, or Install xRecovery, depending on how your chosen custom ROM must be installed.
Alternative way to install CWM
Mini Rom Manager has a build-in CWM-installer.
Start Super Manager (or your favorite file explorer) and navigate to the APK-folder.
Choose the Mini Rom Manager APK-file and then tap on the install button (bottom left). If you are asked what action to complete the operation, then select Package Installer.
Start the Mini Rom Manager from app menu. Accept warning by tapping Agree, and the tap Install CWM Recovery.
Note: Mini Rom Manager will retrieve CWM from the Internet, so it would be handy if your Xperia X10 mini pro is connected to a WIFI.
Manual way of installing xrecovery or CWM
N
If none of the above installment of recovery works, try the manual one in post #2 below.
Save the phonebook, SMS, MMS, call logs and notes
If your phonebook is not connected with a google account and/or you have a lot of messages you want to keep, you can make a backup of everything with MyBackup Root that you can find on the Android Market. After installing your custom ROM you can then restore the backedup phonebook, messages ect.
If you got a lot of notes you've written in the stock note app, then you must write them all down on a piece of paper or copy-paste them all one by one to a another note-app, like Evernote, which can save them online.
Note: You will otherwise lose all that data.
Backup the entire phone
Note: Make sure the battery isn't drained before you continue from here
Restart the phone and press repeatedly (not holding but press, release, press, release, press, release .....) on the back button when the white Sony Ericsson logo appears.
Shortly after CWM will start.
You navigate up and down in the menu using the volume buttons on the side of the phone and choose a menu item with the select button (middle button) and go back into the menu system with the back button.
In case you should regret installing the custom ROM, you can now make a backup of the everything first. Select Backup and restore, then Backup.
If you regred installing the custom ROM, you can restore the stock ROM later.
Install custom ROM
When the backup is compleate, select Factory Reset.
Now we are ready to install your custom ROM.
Select Install zip from sdcard and navigate to the folder where you put your custom ROMs and select your the ROM you want. Repeat this for any hotfix.
The 2 screens to the left are from CWM, the right is from xRecovery.
CWM and xRecovery has almost the same interface and are easy to use.
You navigate up and down in the menu using the volume buttons on the side of the phone and choose a menu item with the select button (middle button) and go back into the menu system with the back button.
Dual Recovery (xRecovery + CWM recovery on your Phone)
Note: Only for ROM-testers, that want to change ROM more often than changing their shorts.
If you followed the guide above, you sould also have the Dual Recovery zip in your ROMs folder.
If you think you might need to install custom ROMs with xRecovery, you can now install Dual Recovery. If you know you don't need xRecovery, then don't bother.
Select Install zip from sdcard and navigate to the ROMs folder and select the Dual Recovery zip.
To start CWM use the Back key as explained above. To start xRecovery use the Home key in the same way instead.
Ready for your custom ROM
When finished, select Reboot phone.
When the phone starts again, it is with your new custom ROM.
Note: First startup might take a long time.
Note: Keeps looping boot-image forever? Pull battery and turn on again and press repeatedly on the back button when the white Sony Ericsson logo appears. Try another ROM.
Note: Everything sucks and don't work? Try Sony Ericsson PC Companion to restore custom ROM.
National QWERTY hard-keyboard
In Mini Rom Manager there is a feature to set the hardware keyboard, so your national characters works properly.
The most sensible custom ROM comes with Mini Rome Manager preinstalled. If not, follow my instructions to install Mini Rom Manager again on the custom rom.
Start the Mini Rom Manager and go to Settings and Extras.
Tap Change HW Keyboard Layout and select your national keyboard in the list.
If you experience ÆØÅ and other special characters like @ is not seated properly when using the keyboard, long-tap (set your finger and let stay on the screen) where the text is written until a menu pops up.
Scroll to the bottom of the menu and select Input Method. Then choose Standard Input. Now you can write ÆØÅ etc.
With the QWERTY keyboard folded in, an on-screen keyboard appear instead. We all know Standard Input.
The two other input methods displays a full keyboard on the screen that you can swich between small and big letters, numbers and special characters.
Android keyboard does not have special keys like ÆØÅ, but offers the ability to write special (national) versions of letters, if there are any, if you long-tab on the letter.
TalkBack keyboard on the other hand, got special keys like ÆØÅ, but also allows you to write special (national) versions of letters by using long-tap. I always find it difficult to call them up. The long-tap mostly fails for me in TalkBack.
kFix - Keyboard LED lights like on Stock ROMs
kFix is a little app that sets the keyboard light as in the original ROM.
The most sensible custom ROM comes with kFix preinstalled. If not, install kFix.
Start Super Manager (or your favorite file explorer) and navigate to the APK-folder.
Choose kFix APK-file and then tap on the install button (bottom left).
If you are asked what action to complete the operation, then select Package Installer.
Maybe you will be asked to provide access for installation from unsafe sources. In this case, choose Settings, then tap Unknown sources. A warning will appear that you just accept by tapping OK.
Now you can avoid the pitfalls of having to use the keyboard in the dark while the light in the keys will not turn on. Do you go from a bright room into a dark, the light in the keyboard should turn on as we know it from the original ROM.
Restore phonebook, SMS, MMS, call logs, etc.
If your phonebook is linked to a Google account all your contacts will show up again when you are logged into your google account during synchronization (if you added your contacts to Google-profile and not just stored them on the phone).
Did you do a backup with MyBackup Root, you can restore your data again with the same app, and you can access any notes you have created in Evernote, with the same app.
Enjoy

Does it only work with MicroSD cards smaller than 2GB? I'd buy one.

I did not change any part of original partition, only the size.
I have also changes sizes af the partitions later, to make the EXT larger, with no problem.

You didn't just plug the phone to the PC with the USB cable, did you? This won't work.

Did you download on PC and then transfer to SD-card or did you download directly to your phone?
I expierences that once also with a ROM downloaded directly to my phone.... a fresh new download on my PC instead fixed it, and then transfer to phone via USB-cable.
Can you open the zip-file on your computer (just to see if it's valid)?
So I repartitioned my media and storage drives yesterday, and although I did have a few problems (post #156-158) I finally managed to repartition and proceeded mounting the drives in 1.4.1 rooted B&N. Also checked if they worked via usb to computer which they did. I then decided that I wanted to try cm7 today and installed it flawlessly. Only problem is that now my newly resized 10GB internal media partition don't show up. So tried installing the;
[CM7][GB] Soft-mod RibbonICS ROM by veronica, but still no change.
In the storage settings i've tried to mount the
Additional storage/mnt/sdcard/_internalSD but doesen't work and thats probably also just the folder I created myself as instructed in the soft-mod.
So yeah I'm wondering if I can only use the extended media part in stock rooted B&N or if its got to do with the problems I had with the process. Or mayb I just need to mount the media drive somewhere?
Please help
Went into adb-shell in CWM and checked via the p command if the media drive was there which is was
(looked like this: 10 1611MB 11.6GB 9989MB fat32 media msftres)...so it really should work.....shouldn't it?
Edit: actually the above is not entirely correct: I have found my media partition in the file browser now but its just not really accessible it seems. Is it just not mounted or what?
Included in the soft-mod for cm7 is also an application called multi-mount sd lite which should help with this but it force-closes on me even after i fix permissions need help with this..
nook tablet cm7 can not access internall sd
Hi
I loaded cm7 onto my nook tablet 16g internal SD using your latest Zip and it worked like a charm. Thank everybody.
only problem I have is that I can't access the internal SD from my windows computer. It accesses the external one fine but not the internal one.
can download app into internal via web and brows around it.
It doesn't seem to be mounted for external USB access.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks Martyn
There's a typo in two lines of the build.prop. Described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540272&referrerid=4611244
But the link to the corrected build.prop there doesn't work! There's a good link further down the thread...but I attached mine here if you want to use it.
Just download to the root of your removable sdcard and install it from CWM. Or extract it and copy it to /system with your favorite file explorer to overwrite the "typo" version.

OOPS!
Sorry. My reply above was to kingtechmartyn, not the OP domiel...didn't mean to hijack the thread.
Very sorry.
There's a typo in two lines of the build.prop. Described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540272&referrerid=4611244<br />
<br />
But the link to the corrected build.prop there doesn't work! There's a good link further down the thread...but I attached mine here if you want to use it.<br />
Just download to the root of your removable sdcard and install it from CWM. Or extract it and copy it to /system with your favorite file explorer to overwrite the "typo" version.<br />
<br />

Just remember when changing build.prop to always make a backup of the original so if you want to revert you can.

I don't know if its specific to root explorer or not, but whenever I modify a build.prop that I have navigated to via root explorer, it automatically adds a .bak extension to the original build.prop file.
for an edit of build.prop, be sure to use the correct edit tool which places a 'line feed' at the eol and not a 'carriage return and line feed'.

you are right, normally a backup is automatically created. But, I have seen a lot of requests since November when we started messing with this device of people making mistakes and not having a backup. So it is always a good idea to copy and then save to the sd card just in case.

Well to be quite honest, before you make any sort of system modifications, you should always make a nandroid backup.
Having a backup of the build.prop or whatever file is nice because it allows you to quickly revert. But a nandroid backup protects you from when the damn thing decides to temp brick.
build prop differences
Also be aware that the build prop typo correction from the Team B CM 7 release (and I believe the RC2 release from a different source I cannot remember) is different from the mods Veronica released - she has developed her own build prop to handle the internal storage. I also had problems with the included Multi Mount SD Card Lite included in her mod and purchased the full version for $.99 which corrected the problems. Also note that there is an underline before _InternalSD in the full release of her mod which is different from just the small mod that handles the Internal over External SD card. Make sure you are being consistent with the folder name you create with the mod version you have installed.

exactly, if more people would do this there might be fewer issues due to being able to restore if there is a oops moment.

Hi Bernardicus
Thanks heaps you are a champion!
I don't even know how to get terminal into su yet so you zip was a god send.
Now I have to work out how to enlarge the 1g of memory, i must admit it's very fulfilling modifying my Nook, looking forward to be proficient enough to return the favors from you all.

Absolutely correct. I'm running her ribbon ics mod now on top of the Team B CM7 ROM (and loving it). She also modded the vold.fstab in /system/etc to reflect those changes in build.prop. I ended up replacing her vold.fstab with the Team B version and editing her build.prop to reflect the corrected "typos" in the Team B build.prop. (I know, I de-modded the mod, but for some reason, using the multi mount widget to do something that the OS should handle made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!)
I'm spending more time modifying this thing that actually using it! But it has been fun.

I'm running Veronica's NT_CM7_Ribbon_ICS_v2.1 and I have the same problem. I replaced her vold.fstab with the Team B version and edited her build.prop. Now I can mount the Internal SD on my computer. Thanks for the help.

Instructions
How to install
1. You will need root, busybox & artas182x locked bootloader CWM (2nd init recovery).
First root with one of these methods Cydia, JCase, Vroot, or Lelus
Second install busybox
Last, install L9 Recovery Installer (BUY THIS GUY A BEER :beer: )
2. Make a backup of your current system & data, detailed instructions by @cmahendra, see 2nd & 3rd post. (Note: Make backups on External Sdcard)
3. Download, locate and install my rom like any other flash-able zip. Note: MEGA has an app in the market ;D
The most important thing to remember is don't select reboot recovery (in advance options). Your phone will (may) perform a factory reset and wipe your Internal Sd & data partition!!! You have been Warned!!!
Old Method
3. Download my Cwm backup and extract (un-zip) the "backup" folder to your external SD (micro SD) "clockworkmod" folder or Internal SD (not recommended). Note: If you don't have a "clockworkmod" folder in your external Sd, make one. You should have one if you made a cwm backup.
The folders need to be like this /clockworkmod/backup/KUMA82-2013-10-03/
4.a. Restore my CWM Backup and reboot.
(Note: The first boot will take a long time, about 4mins)
Or
b. Restore my CWM Backup and select "advance restore from external sdcard" and restore you data partition.
(Note: only perform this option if your backup is from a jellybean rom. In addition, wipe dalvik cache & cache before booting up your system.)The most important thing to remember is don't select reboot recovery (in advance options). Your phone will (may) perform a factory reset and wipe your Internal Sd & data partition!!! You have been Warned!!!
How to overclock CPU to 1200mhz
Open terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su [COLOR=RoyalBlue](give root access)[/COLOR]
./etc/overclock
If your CPU is stable at 1200 and you want it set at every boot, perform this command
Code:
su
mount -o remount /system
cp /etc/overclock /etc/init.d/
chmod -R 777 /etc/init.d
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CPU IS STABLE BEFORE SETTING IT AT EVERY BOOT
How to enable ViPER4Android

To get the most out of this app please visit that thread and read the first 4 post by @zhuhang. In addition, checkout the Impulse Response Sample thread.
1. Open ViPER4Android FX apk, give root access and enable FX Compatible Mode.
Questions & Knowledge
What does this swap (Internal/External) script do?
The script makes your fake Internal SD card become your External SD card and vice versa.
I call it a fake Internal SD because the more stuff you place in that folder (/data/media) the less space you have for apps. Most phones have a real Internal SD, and it's not a part of the data partition.
Knowledge
It's like this, your phone's hard drive is cut up into different sections and each have a different size. The two main partitions (storage sections) are system and data.
Your data partition is about 1.8g in size and is located at "/data/". This place is where all your settings, user apps (/data/app), and other stuff are stored. When you do a factory reset, all of this stuff gets erased.
Inside the data, is a folder named "media". Media is your Internal SD card. The Media folder contains a very important folder name "Android" (/data/media/Android), this folder contains app setting (the stuff you can access without root) & is the storage place for large games.
Now you can't do much about the small storage, the best thing to do is not save anything on it (data/media), like music, files & stuff.
So with the swap script active, we are making the "micro SD" become the new storage place for the Android folder.
Note: the script does not actually transfer everything you currently have saved in /data/media. You have to move that manually. The script/system will make a new Android folder on your "micro SD".
In addtion, change camera and video recorder storage location to internal memory.
It would be real nice if we could move /data all to the micro SD, but we can't because of a lot of technical reasons.
I hope you have a better understanding about what this swap script is doing, and how the system operates.
Why do all my pictures/videos I take come out corrupt?
Your pictures/videos are not corrupt, they just don't have the correct permissions. Once you reboot you will find your pictures/videos inside /storage/external_SD (I would take them out of there).
Change the Storage settings for the camera & video to "Internal memory"
How do I remove the swap script?
I admit the swap script isn't perfect, and I don't blame you for wanting to remove it.
The easiest method (IMO) is to use a root browser and remove 69swap from the init.d folder.
If you don't understand what I just said , perform the following in a terminal.
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /etc/init.d/69swap
and reboot.

how do i move the apps to the sd card? i have been trying but its not working.
Hey man, I was having a similar idea to this. Would I be able to make my own ROM backup with my own base/mods?

I need more details to work with. What app are you trying to move? Does it give you an error, or you can't select the "move 2 sdcard" tab?
Remember, not all downloaded apps can be moved.

Alright thanks! I just wanted to make sure. I've always had the idea of a "Galactic ROM" feel for one of these. I think I'll make it tonight How do I upload it? Just package in a compressed format and upload, then tell them to use restore function?
OH! And do I need to delete my contacts/messages/etc. first? Because it'd be highly embarrassing to post my girlfriend and I's messages for people to download. XD

okay, now that you've read that.
You need to move everything inside your "SD card" into your "Internal SD". The easiest way to do this AND SAFTEST:
1. Make 2 new folders on you Windows Desktop. probably be best to name them internal & external
2. Reboot your phone (but don't have it connect to your computer yet)
3. Connect your phone (after it's been fully booted and operational for 30 seconds) in MTP mode
4. Open the Internal storage (partition size should be 29.7gb), and copy everything into one of the new folders.
5. Then do the same for your SD card (the sd card should say it's 1.8gb in size) and copy everything into the other new folder, on your Desktop.
5. Hold on to both folders until you know all of your picture and stuff are good.
6. Open up the new folder that you saved "external" and copy the Android folder into the other folder "internal" (or whichever Android folder is the biggest, should be the "external" folder).
7. Open up the "SD card" (1.8gb partition on your phone) and delete everything from that folder.
8. Open the "internal" folder and copy everything into the "Internal storage".
9. Check your other stuff (folders on desktop) and see what else you want to put into the "Internal storage".
10. Reboot into cwm and wipe "cache partiton" & "dalvik cache" (located in advance tab).
11. Reboot
If you still have storage problems it's because you have too many apps. If you really need the extra space you will need to partition your "micro sd" and setup Link2sd, but I don't recommend it. You might run into problem in the long run and some apps don't work when moved.

I made some changes to my second post when I replied to you but anyway just set camera and video to save to internal storage. Your pics are not lost. They just don't have the correct permission. If you reboot, you will find them /storage/external_SD (data/media) take them out of there and place them /sdcard/ (storage/sdcard0). Remember don't save anything in data/media (when you using my swap script). I only have one issue at boot with the swap script. The problem is with SwiftKey, I have to load the language pack at every reboot, other than that all is good (for me at least, lol).

Oh and if you have duplicate issues go into app setting and clear data for that app. It's a lot to know but it's worth it IMO for the price of the phone. Lol, as you can see I've done a lot of studying with this phone.
Dang I just remembered something else, you may find two pics in external & internal with the same name but one of them will be a fake (no data) That shouldn't happen with the changes I made to the script. It mostly deals with the swap script displaying the same size. I don't have those type of issues any more.
It might be best to backup all your user apps with titanium backup (make sure it's saving to your micro SD) and then perform a hard reset, starting off fresh. Afterwards just restore your apps.

Sorry bud do you still need help with this. A couple of possible problems are
1. Corrupt images
2. You placed a file inside the cwm backup folder, that will cause a md5 mismatch.
3. The folder isn't placed proper. Must be /clockworkmod/backup/kuma82/(my images & stuff only)
Okay you will need "hash droid" app & "rom toolbox lite" or jota (I will use toolbox lite for this example.
1. Open rom toolbox lite and use the root browser, go to the location of my cwm backup, like so
Hold down on nandroid.md5 file then select to open as text. Note don't change anything thing in that file.
Repeat the process for each file.

So you went inside the camera app pressed settings - Storage - Internal memory? Are you using the LG camera app?
Type the following in terminal emulator app
Code:
su
chmod - R 777 /data/media
That command will give the pictures in DCIM folder the correct permissions. If you already moved them into your micro SD (Internal Storage), type
Code:
su
chmod - R 777 /sdcard
Note r must be cap R
I'm still trying to solve why it does that with the camera app.
The best thing to do is don't save.... , you get the picture right, lol.
Sorry but I'm not the type of person to just give something and be like here just press this and that's it. I want people to learn and understand what they are doing. This is a developer's site , don't get me wrong though, by all means ask questions
It helps keep me sharp
