It seem that are still people that cannot get this to work. Most people actually stuck at creating a card w/ CWM.
I have this done relatively painless. I think most people forgot that the Nook itself is pretty much a linux machine. And with busybox, you can do dd command as well.
NOTE: this will simply wipe all your information the the microSD card.
Well you have to download both the cm-10-***.zip and sdcard-cwm-early3.img.gz files from verygreen.
Then I use 7zip to uncompress cwm file.
adb push sdcard-cwm-early3.img /data/su/
Go into the nook's System Settings > Storage Management > SD Card > Unmount SD Card.
adb shell su -c "/data/su/busybox dd if=/data/su/sdcard-cwm-early3.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1"
remove the img file from the Nook if you wish using adb shell rm /data/su/sdcard-cwm-early3.img
**Now just wait, as this may take sometime as it write 100M+ to the sdcard. It will say something when it's done.
After that, you follow the verygreen step. What was posted above is for people who have problem creating cwm boot sd card.
Also notice that since you reboot into CWM, the current Nook ADB driver won't work, the system will recognize as a different device, you have to re-apply the driver again.
verygreen said:
Insert the card into the Nook and reboot the nook, CWM should start.
(This will also automatically repartition the card into a correct layout no matter the size (but no smaller than 4G).
In the CWM:
Go to "mounts and storage", choose "mount /sdcard".
Press power button to go back to the main menu.
Now do
Code:
adb push cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip /sdcard
Also push whatever other zip files you want to install to /sdcard too.
(if you don't have operational adb, you can also just turn off the nook at this stage, put zip files to volume named "CM10SDCARD" (not "boot"), then put sdcard back into nook and start it again)
Next, choose "install zip from sdcard", and then "Choose zip from sdcard" and first cm-...zip, and then whatever other packages you have the need to install.
When done installing, press the power button to go one level up in the menu and then choose reboot.
This will reboot you into CM10.
If you ever need to get back to CWM later, use either "reboot to recovery" power menu, or reboot, and once B&N nook logo shows up, press and hold power and home keys together for about 4 seconds.
To reboot into stock nook software, just poweroff, remove sdcard, then poweron.

The real purpose of this post is to spread the information of which card work and which doesn't. I hope people can report in which card(s) work for you.
I personally have tried the Lexar 32GB Class 10 card and it works w/o any problem or show any lag at all.
If I can, when people post a working card, then I'll add it to the list.
Working microSD card list:
Lexar 32GB class10
Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32GB class 10 (reported by bunodosoma)
Sandisk Extreme Pro 16GB class 10 (reported by Chi Ahrens)
GSkill 8GB class 4 (reported by Chi Ahrens)
PNY 16GB class 4 (reported by Chi Ahrens)
I used verygreen's instructions to push CM10 on a Sandisk Mobile Ultra Class 10 32gb w/o too much trouble (CWM didn't recognize 1st CM10 push,2nd went w/o a hitch). Haven't noticed any lagging yet.
SanDisk Extreme Pro 16 GB class 10 ($50) works without lag. Couple of lock ups in HD+ within 2 hour period. Constant lock ups on HD. Maybe a bad card.
SanDisk Ultra 16 GB class 10 ($16) works without lag. Stable for 5-6 days on HD+ now. No noticeable difference in speed between the Ultra and Extreme Pro.
GSkill 32GB class 10 works without lag. Sequential speed is slow, but random 4k seems descent enough where there isn't any lag. Stable for 2 days on HD.
GSkill 8GB class 4 works with lag.
PNY 16GB class 4 works with lag.
AData 32GB class 10 - somehow became unusable during the process. Garbage.
Also, in Ubuntu 12.10, adb connects to HD+ only when started as root. Otherwise you get ???????????? no permissions. Ironically, adb can see the HD even when it's not started as root.

When do you see the lag ? Which specific operation ?
I did a boot time test using two different cards. Here are the results.
Start clock: When I press the power on
Stop clock: When I heard sound coming out from HD+
Sandisk: 53 seconds.
Samsung: 61 seconds.
I am not sure the performance advantage is mainly caused by 4K write performance on Sandisk card or the larger size(32GB vs 8GB) of the card.
Here are my two cards with CrystalDiskMark data, only tested 100MB data because Windows only see 109MB after CM10 is installed on the cards.

I have the SanDisk Ultra 64GB working without issues.
HD videos work great off it.
Plus it is formatted in ext_FAT, which allows use of the full 64GB and allows files larger than 2GB.
Works all very well in the Nook HD+.

Wait, you have CM10 and exfat on the same card? or you reformat the last partition to exfat? I'm not clear on that.

Does the nook hd+ regconize fully 64 Gb? because B&N said that its SD limitation is 32gb.

Yes, it see full 64GB. I have one on it as well, but I didn't try CM10 on that card.
The lag with the non-SanDisk class 10 cards is mostly felt in the browser - both the default and Dolphin. Lag in rendering html, scrolling, and also clicking links.
The SanDisk Ultra has been pretty solid however. I tried the San Disk extreme pro again to load CM10 on the HD, and it also experience random lock ups and reboots. I'm going to send that back and get another SanDisk Ultra for my HD.
The 2.0.5 update unrooted my HD, but Google Play still works without a problem. I just don't have su in the console. No big deal until I need root again. I did manage to get Chrome off of the CM10 and sideload it without a problem in 2.0.5.
My wife's HD+ has been running very happily with CM10. She's not quite as excited as I am.

I can also confirm that a 64gb card is usable with theHD+ but as above, ihaven't done CM10 yet. Just got the card and wanted to make sure it was totally compatible before I did anything else.

The nook should support exFAT out of the box, that's not the issue. The issue is that XP doesn't support either exFAT or MTP. The stock OS use MTP when connect to the PC, so you lose either way.

Importance of 4k write speeds?
Hello, now that I've sorted out the problems with my class 10 16 gigs Sandisk card I decided that I'd better moving my setup there but since the move is quite a trouble I would like to know whether it would be worthwhile.
In other words whether the speed difference (between the two cards) is important enough (according to your experience) to every day tasks.
Here are the benchs from the card I'm currently on: http://i.imgur.com/sFVbu.png (~1Mb/s 4k writes)
And here are the ones of the one I'm thinking to move to: http://i.imgur.com/X5voM.png (~2Mb/s 4k writes)
....also if it's not to make enough of a difference (since my class 4 is already fast enough) I could/would opt to use my class 10 card as an external usb device instead (to use its fast sequential writes). So what would you recommend?
Thanks.

Hello,
I installed Android on my HD2, worked perfectly for 2 weeks. But my microSD was only 2GB, so I buyed a new one.
Kingston class 4 8gb microSD. Putted everything just on the new SD card, didn't changed anything! Formatted it also to FAT32.
Now the problem is that Android is VERY slow with getting out of standby, takes sometimes 10 seconds. I get a black screen for 10 seconds and then Android comes up.
Also starting up Android takes ages and it sometimes just freezes or gives a blue screen.
Has this something to do with Android or is the microSD card broken in a way? I can still move/delete files on the microSD card.
Anyone got at solution?
Thanks
Did you try a different build? Perhaps try Mdeejay rEVOlution build, fastest build i've used so far,very very fast, smooth and stable. Also try updating your radio.
I bet there are several utilities to test the read and write speeds on your microSD card. You'll need a cardreader in your pc to do that, trying it through WM6 won't work because the USB will be the one controlling the max speeds.
I hope this helps a lot of people struggling with the speed of android running off SD.
My suggestion is that the card size, and not just the card speed plays an important part in the speed at which android runs...
My Evidence. I first installed various builds on a variety of Sandisk 2GB and 4GB Class 2 cards. They all ran super fast... I mean no lag at all, ever. It might as well have been a Desire HD. Being that i wanted more space I used my 16GB Sandisk Class 2 that I have been using for WM, reformatted it and installed android. It was cripplingly slow. Unusable in fact. (i tried reformat/reinstall a couple of times before giving up). I then invested in a Class 4 16GB and installed the same build. Not surprisingly this was faster, usable but still not as fast as it was on the 4GB Class 2. I am going to go back the the 4GB card unfortunately until NAND arrives.

Thanks for the reply!
First i'm going to test the Mdeejay rEVOlution build, hopefully it will run smooth and fast. If not, i'm gonna send back my 8GB card and get a new 4GB class 4 card.
At the moment I'm running Froyostone 3.2, works now perfectly with the 2GB microSDcard.
I will post the results.

I totally agree with this, although I cannot figure out why.
I tested with two almost identical cards, both Samsung class 4, one 2Gb, one 8Gb, formatted FAT32 64k clusters via the same memory card reader/pc. The 2Gb one whizzed along with the build I'm running now, the 8Gb one occassionally stuttered and stalled. Seems odd to me, unless fragmentation comes into play maybe?
The only reason I have stuck with the 8Gb is for my music. Oh how I'd love to stick with my 2Gb card for the speed and have a second SD slot for my music.
This arrived today from Amazon and good transfer speeds: 10MB/s write 20MB/s read via USB reader but much slower via phone connected over mass storage.
Everything transferred fine but now sense is very slow after boot up and when I scroll to another tab, sense hangs. Very disappointing. I'm running Dutty's V14 which is close evolution of the V3 ROM.

when i compare 8G class 4 vs 16G class 4, 16G will make my phone sluggish. does bigger size make it slower?
Not sure about that. Perhaps after start up if you've added lots more media and the phone has to index it all.
After some more testing the phone seems to work normally if I insert my 16GB card while the phone is booting and swap it for the 32GB Lexar once loading is done. I can then fly around sense with the card indexed correctly without the problems.
What could be the issue with booting the phone with the 32GB card inserted?
format the card, under sector allocation size, check the largest size, probably 64kb.
greatly increase speed for transfers and random access.

I've been eyeing that listing for the last few weeks (a few times a day) and every time it says "usually ships within 1 or 2 months." I guess the OP got really lucky then.
On the other hand, I saw Patriot selling a class 10 32gb micro sd for under $100.
Must have been very lucky yeah, it was in stock on Saturday, that's all I can remember lol.
I ended up going for a Kingston 32GB Class 4 card, was only £29.99. Seems too good to be true but I figured for that price it was worth a shot!

... or you could just stop by Hong Kong and buy it there. I picked up the genuine lexar 32gb class 10 for about 92 USD (720 HKD) last week Haven't tried using it yet in my HD2 yet, but probably will so I can try dualboot WP7 and Android
Yes I got one when I ordered and it was back ordered without any indication of time lines. Now they've put a couple of months on it for some reason.
Anyway, back to the topic. Why isn't my phone working with 32GB microSD card? I had a similar problem with my Sandisk (used with stock v1.66 ROM) and bought this Lexar hoping it would be ok with my phone. Any ideas? Tried reformatting it using the phone utility for compatibility reasons.

Absolutely not. Size doesn't affect the speed and neither does class. The only time you'll notice speed differences between classes is when you transfer media to or from the card while it's *NOT* in the phone. Otherwise they're all the same even though people say it feels faster/slower.
A little more info - I've found a way to get sense to semi behave like normal.
Once the phone boots I have to leave it for 3 or 4 minutes while the phone is very sluggish and not scroll or use sense (else it crashes) and after 3 or 4 minutes it then settles down and seems to act as usual. Except that for some reason the photos on the Footprints tab are all whited out.
Try reflashing a clean new ROM. I was using LeeDrOiD HD 1.5.1 and had loaded a bunch of apps and games on my Desire HD and sense got sluggish scrolling between screens. Now I've loaded LeeDrOiD HD 2.0.0 ROM with his latest kernal and loaded back more than 90% of my games/apps/widgets and the phone scrolls through home screens without a hitch. I kept everything the same on my MicroSD card I only reflashed the ROM and did a complete factory wipe in Clockwork Recovery.
I'd recommend to a Nandroid backup of your current ROM in Clockwork Recovery, then after that do the Clockwork Recovery factory wipe and flash a new clean custom ROM or Stock ROM. See if you are now getting much better speeds. If not just Wipe again in Clockwork and restore your backup then look for other options. If you still have slow speeds maybe try copy everything off the MicroSD card to your PC then reformat the card and copy everything back.
So, due to great confusion, I'm sitting here with an unopened Sandisk Class 2 32GB card, a Lexar Class 10 32GB Card and, arriving tomorrow, a Sandisk Class 4 32GB card.
What's the consensus from those who already have the Lexar MicroSDHC card? Should I open and install or wait for the class 4 ?

Try a different SD card. Cheaper cards are generally better for running a rom because they have a faster small block read/write speed. More expensive cards are better in nearly every other aspect then what you're trying to do. I run HC (Madcat's Hybird) of a class 2 4GB Sandisk card (about $15 at Wal Mart) and it runs great. My wife's running CM7 off an identical card. Both are perfect.
I'm running HC off a PNY 8GB class 4 card, which was $24 from Best Buy. Maybe I should try to format the card and start over? Should I install CM7 on the card as well? Not sure of the process to follow - can you provide a link?
I'll bet you need a different MicroSD card to solve your performance issue, as hockeyfamily737 mentioned above.
See this thread: SD Strange-results - or - How I learned to love CM7 on SD
to find out why.
This software : Crystal Disk Mark is what we are using to test card speed.
Office Max is having a sale on SanDisk class 2/4 MicroSD cards, 8 gig size, for 12.99 a piece until saturday, might want to see if there's one around you.
Having been in the situation you are in, the MicroSD card used makes a significant difference.
Also, try downloading the app "SD Speed Increase" by Diego Stamigni. Setting the cache size to 2048kb can dramatically improve performance on the card you are using now. It's one of my must-have apps for running android from the SD card on the Nook.
Edited to add:
I used to run the same honeycomb version you are, but I swapped over to Dualboot Phiremod / Honeycomb Image. I run it from the sdcard, and the phiremod version of cm7 is my new daily-driver. It's a great image, you might want to check it out.
also honeycomb isnt fully reeased for AOSP so the nook version is just a port of the SDK, also maybe try a class 6 sd card? you can get a class 6 8gig for like $18 of amazon, i use a class 6 and its very fast
I have a Nook Color that is rooted running CyanogenMod 7.1.0 on internal memory. I have a 16GB Class 10 SD Card in it and was wondering what people are using for partitions on their SD Cards. I have pushed pretty much every app over to SD Card but some (not all) applications (Google Maps for instance) seem really sluggish and many times it force closes.
Is the Nook just not powerful enough to run Google Maps or is there something I need to adjust? Maybe a bigger swap partition? I set them up quite a while ago and don't recall what I set them to off the top of my head.
Using CyanogenMod I am overclocked to 1.2GHz with the Governor set to Performance.
VM heap size set to 48MB.
Thanks
class 10 cards are not as good as you'd think for any Android device. Android devices tend to write smaller files... a class 4 card (Sandisk recommended) is actually best for these devices.

I am mainly using Class 10 as that is what I had laying around in the Micro SD Card Format.
I have a 32 GB Class 4 in my Thunderbolt and it is fine. Do you really think it would slow it down much if it is Class 10? I could always toss it in an adapter and use it in my Canon T3i.
This thread here explains what the issue is and will tell you how to test your cards out to see if they'll work. Basically that Class10 card only gets Class 10 speeds when transferring large files and for small files (like an OS/app uses to write temp files) you get crap speed. it's not normally noticed in everyday use because the files are small and a little delay writing it isn't noticed by the user. Class 4 cards from SanDisk seem to be overall performers for files of all sizes.

Hmm, that is interesting. Now does it matter that I am booting off internal memory? I am not dual booted and have CyanogenMod on internal memory. I am running Google Maps which is one of the programs that is really slow on internal memory. My guess is that what you are saying would apply because of the swap space being used on the SD card. I will say that my wife also has a Nook Color that I put my old 8GB Class 6 card from my old Nexus One in and hers seems to perform a little faster than mine. I haven't done the tweaks to VM heap size to hers that seems to have helped mine a little. So you may be on to something. I have a couple of these class 10 cards that I use on my Camera and have been happy with them. I think they are Samsung. The DSLR is 18MP so those files are pretty big so it might be just better to leave those cards for use there and get a couple of those SanDisk Class 4 cards for our Nooks.
Yeah, running apps from the sd would benefit from a fast sd card. When you get one, use CrystalDiskMark (pc) to check the 4k read/write speeds. I bought an 8gb and two 16gb Sandisk class 4 cards from Radio Shack that have reasonable speeds and work well. They're all in the .5 range for writes - not as good as some I've heard of, but they work well! Some (a Kingston and a knockoff Sandisk) I tested were as low as .006! I tried to use the Kingston before I tested its speed and got lots of instability and FCs. hth

But be aware, most installations will not use the card without some modifications to the operating system. By that I mean operating systems are by default using the built in sdcard and external cards are not used for much.

Agreed. I would never try using this for a "run cm from the sd card" or "install cm for the first time" procedure.
Just for us folks that like using the external SD slot to hold a ton of videos, photos, music, etc...
I have the 64gb SanDisk card in my 32gb Nook HD+ now for the last couple of months and it worked great.
The 128gb card will up the Nook to a 160gb total capacity media monster.
I'm in love with this SD card! Haha, no seriously though, I do applaud the compatibility list. Even elder model phones can have their storage upped.
So the card arrived a few days ago.
The first time I inserted it, the Nook HD+ said it needed to be formatted.
I think they come from sandisk as exFat.
I formatted it in the Nook which made it Fat32.
Formatted the card shows 119Gb free.
After unmounting it and using a speedy usb3 sdcard reader to
copy gigs upon gigs of media, I inserted into the Nook and it
froze, then soft rebooted.
It works just fine otherwise. I can copy files from the internal memory
to the 128gb card no problem, but if I power down then turn on or unmount it, eject, then insert
the card any time, it will freeze and soft boot. The 64gb sandisk card never did that.
Running verygreen's CM 10.1 build from last August which I like
as I don't really have any issues other wise.
I usually leave the Nook on all the time and let it sleep so
it's not really a big deal, just thought I would share my experience.
