Recently I can't put any apps on my SD Card. I installed a custom ROM awhile back, but it bricked. And now, when I try to install or even update an app, it says there is no space. When I go to settings and check my storage space, my SD card has all space available, but it says Application space is 0.00B.
How can I fix this?

Hmm. If you're rooted, I'm assuming, then use Titanium Backup to back up all of your apps and data, then use this link:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
To odin back to stock, this will fix all of your issues, then just reflash a custom rom, preferably a newer one like Nero or Axura.
Most of the apps on my nook tablet will no longer update. I get the error that there is no room left on the device, except that there is room on all three storage devices. I have over 5 gbs left on the sd card, i have most of the "/media" partition left and i have over half of the b+n restricted section left, most of it in fact. I have deleted a lot of the apps i had. I even moved one of them to the sd card and then tried to move it back and i got the same error as the updates. Any ideas would be helpful.

What system are you running. Stock, rooted, CM7, CM9, Internal or SD version?
Might be able to shed some light if I have a bit more information.

Not sure what exactly it was when i rooted it. i think it might be cm7. it was an sd root. i found a youtube video walkthrough for it. the zip i downloaded was "SD_ROOT_NTV4"
I double checked the space left on my storage. i have 90% left on B&N content Storage and 88% of Other Storage.
I also have 5+ gigabytes left on my 32 gig sd card.
EDIT: It was Abert Wertz's SD Root files.

update issue
I had the same problem. I also rooted using Albert Wertz' sd card root vidoes. I found I was able to update some apps by "archiving" via the nook app library (hold down on app then choose 'archive' from the options), rebooting, and then unarchiving the program.
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.

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

Using ES File Explorer now. :good:
...do I force the apps to move to the SD card anyhow (and still have them work as before?)
I also would like a list of apps recommended not to move so I don't move them by mistake.
Having only 1.83GB available is getting on my nerves and I'm not getting used to it.
My last phone - Sony Ericsson Xperia Play had allowed moving to SD card so I wish all other Android phones would too.
So how do I disable whatever barrier prevents app-moving, and finally get them moving to my SD card?
I already rooted the phone, and TWRP doesn't allow me to select the tickbox to "Mount SD Card." I already partitioned it to get it ready to mount.
if u force to sd, app should work well except some widgets...Install Rom tool box, there u get an option where to install app Internal/sd/auto...
Edit -- Nvm. I just went in and did a factory reset. Pretty sad since I hadnt backed up in about 2 weeks. My loss. My stupiditiy. Learn form our mistakes.
After the factory reset, I can view my SD card again which is pretty nice, so not a total loss.
-------------------------
Alright. A little about my phone. Its a Galaxy s5 with an 8gb micro sd card. The phone is rooted.
Last night I installed Apps2sd. When I first opened the app it mentioned that my SD card was not setup and I would need to run some "sd fix". I accepted, the phone rebooted and then when it came back up, its as if my SD card was blank. Not only blank, but after connecting phone to the PC, both my phone and card show but are empty. The SD card displays as -1376256 bytes free of -1376256 bytes. The phone shows 127mb free of 128mb.
I also made the mistake of uninstalled apps2sd after my phone booted up and I noticed the issue. Wasnt very smart of me as I can not seem to install it or anything back. Most apps including google play just crash when trying to load. When vieiwng files under My Files, basically everything is empty. If I try using FX file manager then most things say I dont have access.
Now when I first turn on phone and I boot into safestrap TWRP, I can go through and view files and I See all my stuff on my SD card and phone. I can even copy files from my SD card and place them in other directories (tried to copy the apps2sd apk onto phone to reinstall) but just cant ever see any of it when the phone is booted.
Also under TWRP, If I go to backup or anything for example, It lists Micro SD as 2132mb and Internal Storage as 3436mb. So im guessing apps2sd created a partition of some sort?
What have I done? What did my stupid ass do and is there any way to fix it?
tl;dr: Installed apps2sd, clicked things I shouldnt click. Cant view any files on phone or when connected to USB but can see everything under TWRP.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
