Just as the title states. This is only a problem when installing / downloading from the B&N market, and only for apps. Books and magazines are fine. Any ideas?
Also, where are the books and magazines stored? I'm on a manual nootered Nook color (1.3).
Same issue, well very similar, anything I try to install says there is no space. I am still trying to figure out what partition the CM7 android system uses as the "system" drive for installing apps and such.
wonder if you could use an app to move your already installed apps to your SD card, Have not updated to 1.3 yet. may have the option to move apps to sd card under the manage applications menu if there is one.

Hi first post...new phone.....great product, I love it......to get to the point, I have down loaded a couple of simple apps from the in-house market place, the second one "i spy wifi" wouldnt complete because "quote" ...reqs newer version microsoftR.net compact framework, this wouldnt download because I dont have enough free space, even though there is a 4 gb micro card with loads of room.........how do i get things onto the card storage?.......can I put a 16gb card in place of the 4 ?
cheers
Yes you can use 16gb card, normally when you install an app, it give you the option to install on device memory or Storage Card. I install everything on the the Storage Card and I've got a rude amount of apps installed .
Hi, do watch the cache in the main storage - this can fill up.
And, when you install apps from the Market Place it seems these automatically go to main storage and there is no option to install to storage card.
I'm using a 16 gb card with no problems.
thanks for the reply, not noticed an option offered for phone/card storage...will look for it next time....cheers..........
Just to follow on from this can all cabs and apps be downloaded on the card rather than the device? For instance I have cabs for home page transparencies and max manila, text removal on home page etc. Also cab games, official hot fixes, clocks, market place apps as well. And these are ALL on t he device.
Are there certain apps or items that MUST go on the device or can everything go on the card?

Anyone?
Pretty much everything can go on the card.
but I cannot seem to move anything onto my card, am I missing something ?
Just use file explorer to move the cabs to your storage card. Once you have installed cab's you can do what you want with them, move or delete them. When installing them it will prompt to install on the device or storage card. Choose storage card.
I always install to the storage card but when you install using Market Place it doesn't give you the option it just installs to the device. Does anyone know if this can be changed or if the cab files is stored somewhere so that you can uninstall from device and install on the card??
As far as I know, isn't possible to choose a different location when installing from Marketplace. However, is possible to move the applications from the phone memory to the SD card. To do that you have to use this app. Although there are some applications that you must install in the phone memory.
Many thanks, I will give it a go. I already have SK Tools do you know if that has a similar feature as I've not quite got to grips with everything it can do?
Hi Guys,
I wanted to start a thread to discuss the reason behind why some app widgets work great when the app is installed to the SD whereas others don't and if there's a fix for this bug. I have a rooted Nexus One fyi.
E.g. is the Nexus One Torch Light application which works great even after a reboot.
For other apps, once I reboot, the widgets all disappear. I am using the command lines from Android Terminal to force all apps to install to the SD card. Google really should have done a better implementation of the Apps2SD.
My pet peeve is that some apps are installing 16 MB (Flash and Google Earth) on internal memory even when you force them to install on the SD card. So I am hoping there is a way to force apps with widgets on the SD card and recover some more space in the internal memory.
Rant: Google you really ****ed up a great chance to redeem yourself. You really should have given the user an option to format and install EXT for total Apps2SD implementation - especially on new phones/ after a user-initiated wipe.
So, you have the final Release for Froyo then?
Also, you do know you can go into applications and move Google Earth to SD right ?
Yes - and moving Google Earth to SD still leaves 16MB on the internal memory down from 21MB. Likewise Adobe Flash also leaves an absurd amount in the internal memory. So Move2SD is almost moot.

As with most people, you are missing something here.
The APK is moved to the sd, true. The app data (in your examples they have large lib files) is not moved. Thus, with each installation /data will decrease in available size, especially for ones with large lib files - Earth, Flash, CoPilot, etc.
Also, I am pretty sure the widgets shouldn't be moved in the Froyo implementation of A2SD because of the simple fact that it is using a file stored on the Fat32 partition of the SD card which is NOT immediately initialized by the OS upon boot, it requires a FSCK (File System Check) before it mounts the SD. Thus, widgets most likely attempt to load before the APK is available to load them.
EDIT - Also, this is not development, it should be moved to General discussion.
How did u get the Final Release?
There's a reason the option to move the applications to the SD is left up to the developer.
Some things SHOULD NOT live on the sd card. (widgets for one).
Stop forcing the apps to the sd card. A good developer knows when to allow it and when not too.
You are not a developer so you shouldn't be making choices as to where the app should be installed.
(the sd card gets mounted after the home launcher is retrieved. If the app is on the sd card the home launcher doesn't find anything to load.)
Nook newbie here:
I am using the latest CM7 for nook color, running off SD card. I can install the Nook android app, sign in, but my books don't show up. Anyone have a similar experience? Or know how to fix this? I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find any info.
I have tried a reinstall, and also have run fix_permissions.
Thanks in advance!
Any ideas?
I solved my own problem, so here's the solution in case anyone has a similar experience:
Cleared all data, cache and then moved app to sd. (Even though CM7 is on sd, it seems to fix it if you "move app to sd"). Signed in again, and there were all my books. Case closed.
Nook app not syncing...
Sorry, but what do you mean you moved the app to the SD card. Thought that was where it was installed.
I am having the same proble, tried everything to fix it, but still cannot see any of my books or mags...
When I log onto the Nook app for android, I don't see books or magazines I purchased at first.
If I take the SD card out and boot into the standard Nook interface, the books and magazines are there.
If I then go back into the Android OS, the Nook app now has the books and magazines (I would have to download them a 2nd time, though)
First post. I have A7 Dex mod 1.41. Should these apps (Apps2SD or ApptoSD) move the selected app to external sd card automatically? After uninstalling the selected app from internal stg. I have to manually cut/paste to external sd card and reinstall. It must be easier than that.
ooorah
Yeah I have been trying to figure that one out too. I am using the free version. When I go to the list of moveable apps I do not get the option of moving any of them. If I hit the settings button I do get the option to "move all," but none of them move. I really dont want to move all of them anyway, just my less used apps.
How do you move them from the internal memory to the SD card? I did check a few other forums but couldnt find much.
Thanks!
The current kernel from the official firmware and the custom ones like Dexter one don't support app2sd feature.

Hello,
i was using 1.3 ManualNooter 4.6.16 for the last 6 months, and yesterday i decided to try something else. I just downloaded the CM7 rom and updated my Nook...
I felt so embarassed because i thought there was more work in getting Nook work on CM7, and i didnt know that i had just to wipe all data and run the pack through recovery
The thing now is that i miss some of Nooks software. Is there a way to find somewhere these? As they were not backed-up through Titanium Backup.
Also my second question is if i want to change SD Card, can i just copy everything from one card to the other? Because i remember right at the start of rooting my Nook, there was a step of selecting my SD Card capacity...
Thanks!
The only thing I remember about SD card capacity was anything related to imaging size for cards during rooting. Nothing to do with storage on the device. I have switched between a 4GB and 8GB by inserting it into the device, and copying everything over from laptop to it.
As far as the B&N software, the only thing you can get is the application from the market. Anything related to the reader portion (i.e. the launcher screen, etc) cannot be used in CM7. However, some of the applications I know can be used (Pandora is an example).
