Hi everyone,
I have CM7.1 stable on SD-card (verygreen's method) but want to now convert fully to emmc. Is there any method for conversion wothout data/settings loss.
I'm unable to do a nandroidbackup of the SD. Please help.
Thanks
I think a Titanium back up whilst on SD followed by a restore when on emmc will give you most of what you want in this type of transfer.
Yeah, TB can be an option but would it copy the "extra" data directories of apps? I really don't wanna download that again.
When you are running on emmc then those apps that create their own app specific directories would normally put them on the SD.
So I think you want to copy those out first from your existing SD by using the USB mount for example and then restore them afterwards to the SD you want to use for user files when running emmc. The apps then shouldn't know the difference.

What is the best way to move from a SD based CM7 to a emmc CM7 and not loose any apps or data? I've been running off the SD card for several weeks and am ready to move to the flash based setup but don't want to loose any data or apps. I may also want to be able to dual boot into the Nook 1.2. Currently running CM7 41, OC Kernel 04/04/11, and dualboot menu all off the SD card.
Thanks,
jmak
+1. Little help?
Thanks!
titanium backup your apps/data, then install fresh copy on emmc, then restore all
I thought about doing the reverse, emmc to sd but that thought went away after a few minutes

How do you use titanium backup to do the restore since the backup is stored on the original SD card that was used to boot CM7? Do you have to copy the backup files to another card to do the restore?

yes,
-do the backup,
-copy the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder to your computer (via adb/cifs-wifi/dropbox/ESFileExplorer/whatever)
-install your prefered ROM
-copy to sdcard/TitaniumBackup from your computer's copy
-batch restore (i'd buy titanium pro if you have many apps, if not, it will ask to confirm restoring one by one)
I just started dual boot stock 1.4/ cm7 and i am wondering how do I run the restore from titanium backup to get my apps back ? I am a n00b so this was my first time since autonooter trying anything. I did make a back up and it is on a seperate sd card. would I just copy the titanium folder onto the cm7 card ?
easiest way is to adb the titanium folder... you have to put it on what CM7 sees as the "sdcard" which is partition 4 on the SD card in that configuration.

That depends on many things. What you mean by sideload, what you mean by internal memory, what rom you are running, and whether running on SD or emmc, what ebook reader you are using, how new your nook is, etc.
Ordinarily most ebook readers expect the book themselves to be stored on sdcard. Since you earlier said you were from India, I doubt you are running either the Nook ereader app or the Kindle app since both of them require registration. So whatever ereader you are using may let you change where books are stored.
And by storing on internal memory, I assume you mean on the internal media partition (emmc). That is the only place internally where media like ebooks can be stored. On the newest Nook that media partition has been reduced to 1GB of memory (from the previous 5GB). That is a lot of room if you only want to store ebooks there since they are not very large. But if you put other things there, you can run out of storage fast.
If you are running CM7, there is a setting to swap emmc media for sdcard so that programs use emmc to store things. But usually that setting is used for people that have no sdcard and have to use emmc to store things.
It would help if you explained a little more what you want.

My ereader is nook color v1.4.3 running stock without rooting (without registration).
I want to make use of the emmc to store my ebooks which are not downloaded from B&N store.
And I want install cm7 on a SD card and use it as a tablet only when i need to.
So my question is - Is there any way to bypass the 1 GB limit, so that I can use all the available space in emmc?
If it is possible by rooting, can rooting be undone by following the method in http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM ?
Thanking You

If you want to root your stock and have the ability to return to non-root, the best way is to make a bootable CWM SD and do what is called a nandroid backup. It takes a snapshot of everything as you have it now and puts that backup on an SD. You can also use that CWM SD to help you root stock. We told you earlier how to do that. Then after you have been using rooted stock for a while and you decide to go back to non-rooted, just use the CWM SD to restore the backup and it will be like it was before. Look at my tips thread and item A10 to see how to make the CWM SD.
To gain access to the full 5GB of available space for media storage on internal, follow this guide:

As part of that repartition procedure he has you doing a nandroid backup with a CWM card anyway. So just do the repartition procedure before you root and you will have your backup.

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate your help.
Hi Folks
Just recently brought a 64GB SDXC card for my S4.
with only a measly 9gb free space on the internal memory I brought the SD card to move items such as my nandroid and titanium backups as well as photos and other media.
I managed to move the nandroid backups ok however I also run a daily Titanium backup which still writes to the local memory. I have changed the path to point to a folder on the SD card but it fails to write to this area.
At this moment in time I dont want move Apps to SD just the other bits as this will allow me to recover about 3/4GB of space.
Does anyone know how I can force titanium backup to move or write new files to the SD card location?
Thanks
Follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524277 to make your card writable, then copy your Titanium backup folder over, and run the Titanium to set the default backup location.
I'm trying to do the same by enable RW permission for the externalSD but ended corrupted my system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. Appreciate if anyone can send me the file.
Thanks.

Got the file from the previous link. Thanks.
I was recommended a app to download called FolderMount which would do this for me, I have to say since I have used this it found an issue with my SD card and fixed it automatically, then pointed Titanium back to the SD card and it now works fine..
Something to consider..
First of all... I wanted to start this post off by saying yes, I know I'm an idiot.
Now that that's out of the way....
A few weeks ago, I got so excited to flash a custom ROM, that somehow when I ran TWRP and backed up my system to the external SD card, I also wiped my external SD card. Because I'm an idiot. I don't know how or why it happened really. I just know it did.
I had previously saved EVERYTHING to my external SD card, thinking that was the safest place for the data... and now the past two years of my life documented in photographs are gone.
I have tweaked out on running custom phone software since the days of the original Razr and flashing Alltel firmware on it... and this is the first major screw up I've ever done.
Now... does TWRP back up that data somewhere, somehow? Or is it just system data/apps that get backed up? If TWRP didn't save it somewhere, is there possibly somewhere that the contents of my external SD card were MOVED upon installation of the custom ROM?

You should never store your sole backup copy on the same device as is being backed up as you probably realize now.
Anyway, it's not clear from your post if you were storing a redundant copy of your backup on your external SD card or if you had configured TWRP to use your external SD card as the primary folder and therefore sole backup copy. The default location is usually /data/media/0/TWRP. Try a search for TWRP folders using a root aware file browser. With any luck you will find a backup on your internal SD card.
If not, then the only way to recover would be to try a data recovery program on your external SD card. Unless you do Google /cloud backups as well?
.
Recuva does most of the work well, and there is an option to restore the directory structure too if you poke around in the settings. Puran File Recovery works where Recuva did not in recovering some images and videos.
Both I have tried after an accidental format of the SD card from the phone settings.
They are both free desktop software.
Important to take not not to copy any files over to the affected card, or even your recovered files as well. Only do so when you are sure you have recovered all that you can onto a desktop folder.

The second scenario is what I believe I did. And I think when it created the backup, it wiped the external SD to suit it's needs. Problem being that the Nandroid backup wanted 6 gigs ish of space, and I had 4.5 or so remaining on the internal SD.... don't know what stuff I had on there... but *shrug*

Thank you for the tip. I will try both of these. I think the nandroid backup wrote over the areas on the SD where the pictures were stored. You'd think it would pick the empty space before the occupied space... but I guess since it wiped it clean prior to backing up, it was ALL empty space. *sigh*
Thank you both very much for your help.
