[Q] Saving Apps to SD

Two things:
When I wrote the image to my SD card to root my nook it changed the capaicty of it to only 39 MB. Is there a way to change that back to the 16 gb it was originally?
Second can I save apps from the market to the SD card or do they have to be saved on internal memory? If I can save them to the SD card is there a way to move apps already on the internal memory to the SD card or do I have to reinstall them?

You need to boot the Nook without the sd card in it, and then once it is on & ready put the sd card back into the nook, go to Settings, Device Info, SD Card, Unmount SD card, Format SD Card. It should now be it's original size.
Right now we are running on android 2.1 so it doesn't support apps on the sd card. Once it is upgraded to 2.2 you will be able to put apps on the sd card. If you want to do it right now you have to partition your sd card. I would say wait until 2.2 comes out officially

[Q] Android file system with SD vs no SD

I'm coming from a phone with very low internal memory to one with 16GB. My question is around all the app data and where it would go in a phone with 16gb internal memory and not SD card.
Reason I ask is I would love to have all my apps stored internally and use my SD card mostly for music/pics..
Would this work or will apps put data in the SD if one is present.
another question would be what would happen if I have no SD card for a while, then I introduce the SD card..
All the data would be kept on the internal storage, which would be seen as a internal memory stick. If you put a microSD card in then it will store some data on the SD card but you could move it back by going to settings>applications>manage applications>on sd card

[Q] Internal SD & External SD Problem

Good day guys and hope you can help me with this. Im running Miui 2.1.6 with Siyah kernel 3.3.1, my problem is my internal sd and external sd cards being swapped or thats how the system views it. whenever i try to move apps from phone to sd card whether via app manager or apps 2 sd it moves my apps to my external sd card which is annoying. im only using my external sd card for media and not for my apps. after moving those apps it creates a .android_secure folder on my external sd with .asec files on it. im assuming that this is a problem with how the phone identifies my internal & external sd cards, i tried removing my external sd card and again tried to move apps to sd card and it says it doesnt have enough space which is crazy because my sd card has 6GB free space on it.
