Right - I've rooted my Hero ( RA-Recover ), and have flashed Modaco 2.2 Rom. I've moved my apps onto my 2 gig d cad with AppstoSD.
Now I want to replace my sd card with a larger capacity one - 8gig.
So how do I get all my apps from the old card onto the new one??
Is it a case of copying all the apps back to the phone from the old card ( Sort of AppstSD in reverse )? If so, how do you do that?
cheers
Mount the card on the desktop of your Mac/PC via the USB cable.
Copy the whole contents of your existing card to a folder on your Mac/PC.
Replace the card and copy back everything.
The folder structure should remain the same and as long as your new card is named the same as the old one, all should work.
If not, then at least you can just swap the cards back and you have your original setup.
Then try something else
But the above 'should' work fine.
Hi Simon
Don't quite get your solution ( me being thick? ). I know how to copy the main contents of my SD card - but since rooting etc. my card now has 3 partitions - main, ext3, and linux swap. As I understand all the apps are on the EXT3 partition, which I can't see.
It's this partition's files I want to either move to the new card, or copy back to the phone ( so I can then transfer them using Apps2SD to my new card. )
Ah... sorry. I see where your problem is now
I would have assumed that all partitions would be visible when the card is mounted on the Mac/PC desktop.
Will ASTRO or any other file browser not see the partition ? How did you partition it in the 1st place ??
Someone cleverer than I needs to help you here I think
At least I've bumped the thread for you
Sorry for hijacking this slightly, but can anyone tell me if there is any need to move from MoDaCo 2.1 to 2.2?
And, what is the point of using Apps2SD?

Thats a really good question. You made me think about that..
Indeed that you cant copy the ext3 en linux-swap one to one to the new card. So i think a way couldt be:
Format youre new card in a fat32/ext3 and linux-swap like you did with the old sd-card. Do a nandroid-backup with the old sd-card in youre phone. Copy then all the content from the old sd-card [fat32 partition] to the new sd-card [via youre pc] Then insert the new sd-card in youre phone do the nadroid restore from the recovery. Maybe this is the solution. I really dont know. But if it dont work you always can put youre old-card back without any problem.

If you are already on 2.1, you can change to 2.2 without any problem. There is just a minor difference between them . Apps2sd just installs/moves youre apps on the sd-card so you have more space left on youre phone.

Good idea - but I just tried that and it didn't work - I have to re-install all te apps amually ( a right PITA ).
@J-Zeus probably a bit late to help you now but an Ubuntu live cd would enable you to partition a new card with these formats and copy the contents across from the old one.
you would have to reinstall them manually anyway, as the connection to the market is lost and updates etc. wont show.
@Soulehmoo: why would this be? The apps were previously installed to the card so the app install db either remains on the phone (normal), in which case nothing changes with the new card, or be on the card itself, in which case, it may be copied across to the new one.
im not sure, but i have swapped a card over and thats what happened.
For those of you who wish to access all 3 partitions on the sdcard from windows you can dowload and use this program... (running it on Win7 x64)
DiskInternals Linux Reader 1.1 (Freeware)
http://www.diskinternals.com/download/Linux_Reader.exe
And on a Mac lol?
Hi there,
Can anyone please post a dl link to a partition image for the internal 2 Gb sd card of their Streak?
thanks in advance
I have created an image of my inner SD Card right after a factory reset.
Download Here
I created this using Clonezilla, you should be able to use Clonezilla to restore it. It is an image of the entire sd card. You need to unzip the downloaded file to use it.
Note: I am running DSC_Rom, which is Gingerbread based. I don't think it makes a difference.
ok I'll try it and post results... thank you Sir! hoping that it would work
I was thinking of getting a class 10 8gb and putting favorite music onto it under a media directory, going as it is space you can't get at as its mainly just for apps. Clonezilla is a good idea though i was gonna use carbon copy but carbon will not allow you to clone a drive bigger than the one you want to clone, seems the same with clonezilla though dam
If you are just replacing the card, you shouldn't need an image. I replaced mine and the phone took care of setting the new sd card up automatically.
Was thinking that to be honest but i wanted a way of been able to add stuff to it without the need to take the phone apart again but looks like a new card installed then just ftp into the phone to transfer but transfer speeds suck lol, will play with the image though and see what i can sort out may be able to get a similar file structure and just add a directory

I tried putting in a replacement SD Card and it just did not show up. I tried a card with no partitions at all and one that was formatted Fat32. I did not try a factory reset after replacing the card. I have seen multiple requests for an image and now that my Streak is out of warranty I notched out the body to get access to it and figured it would not hurt to have a backup image.
a fat32 disk may not be seen the same way as ext 2,3 are linux based the first one will be a swap file then the second will be the data, I will wait till i get the card i want to install into mine, as anyone had troubles with the sides either side of the screen sticking back down, I got curious when i first had mine and took it to bits to see the micro sd card but have found one side seems to be a tad loose now

I notched the plastic over the inner sd card like in this post at MoDaCo. Seems easier than opening the whole phone up and you just have to remove the back for access.
Just had a click glance through, However I am not going to dig deep until i buy my new inner sd card then i will hit it hard, But i feel i would take a different approach to how they have tackled it as i will go down the machine code route when i do it due to the fact i am thinking i will not need to edit as much but time will tell but will post when i have installed a bigger card, also need to glue the backdoor switch down as that annoys me.

I did the same exact thing, and it worked pretty good, got rid of the plastic, remove the innersd... trying to recover it with the image given.. hope it will work
Update
I received the Kingston 8 GB class 10 micro SD Card I ordered today and with no prep put it in the Streak, did a factory reset and the Streak now shows over 6 GB free in internal storage. I have no idea why this card worked and the others did not, except that they were 16 GB, class 2 cards I had laying around.
FYI - I am running DSC rom .62b (a gingerbread rom).
Does anyone have an image of the InnerSD Card that can be used in a Windows based program, such as DriveImage XML? And if not, can someone tell me how to do it manually? I'm having issues booting into CloneZilla :/
Any help is appreciated,
Cullen
Well apparently I was sent to the wrong forum (NOOK COLOR) I thought the color and tab's used the same stuff. Apparently not. I have CM7 working on a 32GB SD card and will have one on a 16GB SD card in a few minutes for my fiancee's NT. I have all my apps that are linked to my Google account installed on my NT now what?
I have noticed the remaining SD card space is small. Surely I didn't use up all 32GB already. I assume the windows writing software made a small partition on the SD card for CM7 so how do I gain that space back or make the NT use the extra space for installations of apps etc?
Do apps have to come just from the app store or is this considered a rooted OS now where I can put apps on the SD card from anywhere and is there a special way to do this?
Just popped the 16GB SD card in my fiancee's nook and powered it on for the first time. I saw the Team-B screen then it went black. Apparently it rebooted and loaded up the stock nook OS. I suppose a re-write is in order on the SD card?
The SD ROM that you made is already rooted. It can do...root things.
As for the rest of your storage space on the microSD card, you'll have to do a little repartitioning. Looks like you're using Windows, so I recommend the freeware called MiniTool Partition Wizard. The user interface is every simple to understand.
All you want to do is resize the last partition on your SD card to consume all of the unallocated space that was left over. Then you will have access to your entire SD card space.
EDIT: Just saw your second post. Turn the NT off completely and plug it into the wall charger. Let it power on and see if it boots all the way through to CM7. If not try rewriting the ROM to the card. Or you may need to use a different SD card. I know I had problems with a 16GB PNY Class 10 card.
That is correct. I'm on windows 7
This is normal correct?

I drug the bar all the way to the right on the last block on the SD card. Plopped it back in my nook and its booting to Nook stock.
Now for the above edit Its on a 16GB PNY C4 hmmmm.......
Would it have anything to do with not being fully charged yet being plugged into the wall though?
So now both are fubared for the second only booting to nook stock. LOL This was going so well about an hour ago and here I'm worried about what bells and whistles can be done and things can be added and how to add them. Sheesh I can't even keep CM7 working.
Both don't even try to boot from SD anymore? You might have to try and remake the ROM and switch to a different card.
Got another question. Just full of them I suppose.
Is there a way to have a boot menu on start up vs pulling out the SD card to get to the stock NT OS?
I would say CM7 also but it seems its not supported yet for SD booting.
Easiest way to get your boot menu would be to flash fattire's Cyanoboot. It's a second bootloader that allows you to choose from where you would like to boot at each power up.
Yea pulled the sd out of my fiancee's and it wont even boot into nook os wtf.
Plugged in or not.
Mine is booting fine into either again kinda weird.
Did the N/Power 20 seconds thing and got her NT powered back up without the SD card in. So it went into Vanilla nook with video and all since it is a new unit. Running the img file over the SD card again to see if it was just a hiccup and not an issue with the PNY SD.
I'm going to chock it up for the nook doesn't like class 4 pny 16gb cards since I re-wrote the sd card and I get the same problem.
It boots showing the N then flashed to the team-b loading screen then goes black for a while then shows the N and then loads nook stock.
So I'll go over to Frys and pick up another Patriot 32GB Class 4 card and give that a whirl. (It's what is running in mine just fine.)
That might be all it needs. Lots of people have success with SanDisk Class 4 SD cards, too.

Since the NT is technically rooted via the SD card on mine how do I go about putting apps on it? Is there a certain place they need to go etc?
Not talking about apps from the Play Store either.
Meaning files like *.apk
So this is exactly how I run my nook tablet, and thankfully, I've had only one issue with SD cards and formating it with https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ helped.
As for the rest, depending on the image that you used, it may or may not have Google Play Store installed, if it is, great, if not, you need to get it onto the card.
If it's already installed (and it most likely should be) then you just go into the Google Play store and download whatever you want.
You just need to be registered with a Google Account on the device.
Any more specific questions, just let me know, as I said I run the same thing for my nook, so I'm fairly familiar with it.

If you're talking about sideloading apps, just put the .apk files on your SD card and open them with a file manager/explorer, then it will prompt you to install the app.
Your NT should mount the 1st (boot) partition of the SD card, unless you go into the vold.fstab and tell it otherwise.
Sent from my Slider SL101.

Sounds easy enough lol. I'll mess around with that after I watch the evening tv shows and my fiancee lays down. I still need to search for the dual boot thing you told me about earlier so I can choose where to boot to instead of pulling out the sd card. (What a terrible design where they put it. They could have just put a slot in the bottom or something instead of hiding it in the cut out area so you can't maneuver it around.)
Can the APK files be deleted off the SD card once they are installed?
Ok so made a folder and put all apk files in it on the SD card
I open the file manager on android and that folder can't be found???
I just tried to put the apk files on the root of the SD card now its just loading the stock nook OS.
So obviously putting the apk's in the root isn't a good idea.

what file manager are you using? you should be using something like es file explorer or root explorer. the standard file manager that comes with android is useless when it comes to sideloading apk's

My cousin and I want to get Nook Tablets 16GB to mess around with, but we don't have the time anymore to (sorry, *I* don't have the time anymore, she can't figure out technology whatsoever) to figure out if we're always doing things right via the forums at this point and stay updated.
I still want to support the community as I've utilized a lot of information (namely for my old HTC TP2) here. I was thinking about buying an N2A card for the both of us, but wanted to make sure that I can copy the files from one card to another SD card so that we can use them in our respective tablets. And I rest easier knowing that I was able to make a small contribution to the community.
Is this possible? We'd both like to access the Google Play market.
Use the link in my sig. It literally takes 5 minutes after you make the cards, and you can get screaming deals on cheap cards (you can probably find 2 2gig cards for about $10) and then you'll both have full access to the market and still have access to the stock interface if you so choose (note that you will not be able to use apps downloaded from the Play store on the stock interface if you're on firmware 1.4.3, only on an aftermarket launcher).

If you are really wanting to go the N2A route (I personally would not), use Win32diskimager to READ the image (for backup purposes). Safely eject card. Insert new card and WRITE image. Safely eject card. Backup done!
Or do the $20 download only and buy your cards yourself. In any case, let us know what you do!

It took me a few hours of trial and error but I sat down with my 4gb sandisk card and the second link up there and am now typing on my NT running CM10 off the SD card. There are a few glitches in the guide above, but I can walk you through them if you like.
Building a CM10 SD card for NT
FWIW, here the process I follow to build a CM10 SD card for my 16GB Nook Tablet:
1. Get the pair of files cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip and cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/
2. Create 4 partitions using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition per the instructions at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/: boot, system, data, and sdcard. Make sure that you set the partition ID type for the boot partition to 0x0C FAT32 LBA and set its Active flag, otherwise the SDcard will not be bootable. Once this is done, the boot partition should appear as a (read/write accessible) drive under Windows. (Note that you can adjust the suggested sizes of the partitions upward to fill up the entire SDcard; FWIW the sizes I use on my 8GB card for the 4 partitions are, respectively: 0.5GB/0.5GB/2GB/[remainder of SDcard]).
3. Copy to the boot partition of the SD card the following files from cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip: boot.img (in folder p2), flashing_boot.img, MLO, recovery.img, u-boot.bin.
4. Replace updater-script in folder META-INF\com\google\android of cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip with the updater-script from in folder p2 of cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip.
5. Replace vold.fstab in folder system/etc of cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip with the vold.fstab from folder CM10_Jelly_Bean\1_os of SD_Boot.zip (obtained http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/).
6. Replace updater-script in folder META-INF\com\google\android of gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip (obtained from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) with the updater-script in folder CM10_Jelly_Bean\p2\gapps of SD_Boot.zip.
7. Copy to the boot partition of the SD card cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip that get modified with the replacement updater-scripts and vold.fstab files in the above steps (which cause the CM10 ROM and JellyBean Google Apps to be installed on the SDcard rather than on your NT itself).
You should now have a bootable SD card with 7 files on it, ready for the phase of “installing ROM and gapps” described at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/.
A few additional points worth noting:
If your NT is like mine, you will have to plug in the powered USB cable to the NT in its power-off state -- in order for the NT to boot from the SDcard.
Generally the lower rating (and also cheaper) class 4 SD cards are more suitable for running a ROM than the higher classes 6 and 10 cards (since the latter are optimized for large & sequential block read/write at the expense of random read/write). So if you happen to use a class 10 or 6 card and your apps frequently crash or freeze, consider switching to a lower class SD card.
Hello, I am new to this forum, but have been reading a lot of the information regarding running CM7 on a Nook Color. Thank you to everyone that has been kind enough to share their knowledge about this.
I am pretty new to the thought of running the Android platform on my Nook. My main goal is to be able to use the Nook Color for more than what the B&N operating system will allow. I would like to be able to use it to take notes in business meetings, using an external keyboard, and maybe have a little more functionality for email.
I am having trouble getting the generic sd card image burned to my micro sd card. I have downloaded the image from verygreen's thread. I have tried using Winimage and Windisk32 to burn the image, and have had limited success. My card is a Sandisk, class 4, 8GB card.
I did get the image burned once, and got the CM7 7.2.0 encore zip file copied, and there was a hangup in the booting process. I believe the error message was incomplete image, or something similar.
I have reformatted the sd card numerous times (using sdformatter), and have tried both imaging programs to try to re-burn the image back to the card, and I get a write successful alert, but I cannot see any files on the card. Windows explorer says that the card is empty, and that thee is only 115MB of storage available, so something is happening.
I thought that maybe the files were hidden, so I copied the CM7 zip file over, and put it in the Nook Color. The NC booted up into the B&N home screen.
As a side note, I would like to be able to, if it is possible, to boot into a menu, and select whether I wanted to boot into the B&N platform, or the Android platform.
Any suggestions that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day.
