Inner sd partition image needed - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Can anyone please post a dl link to a partition image for the internal 2 Gb sd card of their Streak?
thanks in advance

I have created an image of my inner SD Card right after a factory reset.
Download Here
I created this using Clonezilla, you should be able to use Clonezilla to restore it. It is an image of the entire sd card. You need to unzip the downloaded file to use it.
Note: I am running DSC_Rom, which is Gingerbread based. I don't think it makes a difference.

ok I'll try it and post results... thank you Sir! hoping that it would work

I was thinking of getting a class 10 8gb and putting favorite music onto it under a media directory, going as it is space you can't get at as its mainly just for apps. Clonezilla is a good idea though i was gonna use carbon copy but carbon will not allow you to clone a drive bigger than the one you want to clone, seems the same with clonezilla though dam

If you are just replacing the card, you shouldn't need an image. I replaced mine and the phone took care of setting the new sd card up automatically.

Was thinking that to be honest but i wanted a way of been able to add stuff to it without the need to take the phone apart again but looks like a new card installed then just ftp into the phone to transfer but transfer speeds suck lol, will play with the image though and see what i can sort out may be able to get a similar file structure and just add a directory

I tried putting in a replacement SD Card and it just did not show up. I tried a card with no partitions at all and one that was formatted Fat32. I did not try a factory reset after replacing the card. I have seen multiple requests for an image and now that my Streak is out of warranty I notched out the body to get access to it and figured it would not hurt to have a backup image.

a fat32 disk may not be seen the same way as ext 2,3 are linux based the first one will be a swap file then the second will be the data, I will wait till i get the card i want to install into mine, as anyone had troubles with the sides either side of the screen sticking back down, I got curious when i first had mine and took it to bits to see the micro sd card but have found one side seems to be a tad loose now

I notched the plastic over the inner sd card like in this post at MoDaCo. Seems easier than opening the whole phone up and you just have to remove the back for access.

Just had a click glance through, However I am not going to dig deep until i buy my new inner sd card then i will hit it hard, But i feel i would take a different approach to how they have tackled it as i will go down the machine code route when i do it due to the fact i am thinking i will not need to edit as much but time will tell but will post when i have installed a bigger card, also need to glue the backdoor switch down as that annoys me.

I did the same exact thing, and it worked pretty good, got rid of the plastic, remove the innersd... trying to recover it with the image given.. hope it will work

Update
I received the Kingston 8 GB class 10 micro SD Card I ordered today and with no prep put it in the Streak, did a factory reset and the Streak now shows over 6 GB free in internal storage. I have no idea why this card worked and the others did not, except that they were 16 GB, class 2 cards I had laying around.
FYI - I am running DSC rom .62b (a gingerbread rom).

Does anyone have an image of the InnerSD Card that can be used in a Windows based program, such as DriveImage XML? And if not, can someone tell me how to do it manually? I'm having issues booting into CloneZilla :/
Any help is appreciated,
Cullen

[Q] looping dell screen tried everything I can think of

one day my phone decided to stop playing nice, and without reason, started boot screen looping.
flashed it with a 354 recovery.img, and then a 354 update.pkg and then installed streakdroid 1.9.1 over that, everything went swimmingly.
then weeks of stability later, I did a reset (not the first) and weird **** came up (from the bottom of the screen, the one that normally can't be rotated to... saying "send this device back for repair, performing format do not remove battery" or something like that.
nothing was happening, so I tried to turn it off, nothing, so I pulled the battery, reinserted it and again, ran fine.
then, a day or so later, I reset the phone, and now it just loops the dell logo.
I tried flashing a 351 recovery.img, and running a 351 update.pkg and still just the loop.
I tried a nandroid backup and it says it can't mount /data/ because e: does not exist
I seem to be able to flasheverything and anything (except the nandroid data) and I have no idea what to try now...
so if there's nothing more I can do, I will need to know what the current australian ROM version is so I can flash it and maybe get it repaired.
does anybody have any suggestions?

This sounds like the error I have seen people report with ClockWorkMod. Is that what you are using for a recovery? Have you tried StreakMod recovery?
yeah, I've only used streakmod
everything I've used has been made especially for the streak, afaik...
if all else fails simply swap out the internal sd card and put in a new one. flash it with qdl tool.
Had that same errors and phone was replaced because of internal memory problem.
It´s strongly recommended to flash the stock rom/recovery/baseband first - even if its going to loop on the bootscreen - before you let Dell replace your device! You know, flashing other roms than the official ones void your warranty!
sounds like a corrupt internal sd card, if u got warranty, use it, if not then ull need to disassemble to format it

Yes, this was what happened to me as well.
You can confirm this by doing the internal sd card test. This is accessed through fastboot, but I can't remember the number combination to get there. It's around here somewhere, just do a search.
From a FAQ that was on StreadDroid.com:
1. Turn off your Streak
2. Hold down the camera button all the way, as you turn on your Streak
3. At the white screen, dial in the code *#301# – This will open the engineering mode that allows you to run individual tests.
4. Dial in 10 then press Enter to run the ‘SD & SIM’ test
5. The “Internal SD” test should pass, and it should show “permanent write-nonprotect”.
internal SD card failed
internal SD:
SD card error!
CMD/Data test : PASS
Permanent write-protection
I'm assuming the best and thinking that means that the SD card had a boo boo and it had nothing to do with my interference...
so can peeps help me one more time and tell me which recovery/ROM/baseband is the current australian builds? the warranty guys are anal about that sort of stuff...
and a stupid question while I'm on the topic, is the BB amss.mbn file for a build in the update.pkg for that same build? if it's different, I'm going to need a link for the amss.mbn file because I don't know what corner of the internet they're hiding them atm...

this is the latest official australian build its 318BB... u probably just got a dud unit, thats my guess..
i remember wen i got my N95 yrs ago i got a dud sd card.. i told em its just the sd card but theyre stupid and nokia replaced the hole unit just in case
like i said, if u have warranty, just use it
PS. when u get ur new unit, be sure to use the 354 rom, its uses the the australian standard frequencies..
either 11 or 00 regions work best.. check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Dell_Streak.png#ROMs
There's currently no such thing as an 'australian build'
Streaks sold there are either the US or EU model (i cant recall which) and use the 00/retail roms. Of those 351 is the latest 00 rom.
If your innerSD is hosed how are you going to install a rom? the rom lives in the innerSD
I had a big long writeup, but the forum timed me out...
I've looked up some YT video's about how to get to the internal card
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w4AbtIGp8A
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f9N99gAP3w
the first video shows me where the internal SD card is located, the second shows me a cleaner way to get to it...
I need a smaller star screwdriver than what I have to get to it, even the tech guys at my work don't have a screwdriver THAT small...
but I have a few questions, I've looked some, but I don't think this kind of info is easy to find...
so, questions:
what are the size and speed specs of the internal SD card slot? logic dictates that it'll be the same as the external card slot, (32Gb class ?)
I've read that there are three slots inside, can I use all three?
if so, are they only accessed by apps like ASTRO and the like, or can I get to them via the data cable?
has anybody else done this kind of thing? is there anything I need to know?
is there anything else I can mod/tweak while I'm in there?
and, finally, how sweet would it be to get a triple calss 10 RAID 0 going on in there? I'm sure it's all but impossible, but unless I ask, how would I get to know right?

Hardware Hacking the Streak – thread at MoDaCo, main focus is replacing the internal SD Card with a faster, larger card
How-to Increase streak storage up to 62 GB – an extension/continuation of the hardware hacking thread at MoDaCo
If your phone is still in warranty you should use it, there was a known problem with some Streaks being shipped with a bad internal SD Card.
If it is out of warranty and you choose to replace the inner card I can state from experience that you can easily get access to the card by cutting the back cover with a razor/exacto knife. There is a pic in the thread at MoDaCo that illustrates this. Of course the phone I altered was already dead and I was not able to resurrect it, so I have no way of knowing if my surgery had any ill effects.
A pic of the one I altered is attached.
Edit: the red text is right on the actual internal SD card. You move it to the left to remove it.
be sure that u kno that when u open it up u completely void all warranty, its not like flashing. YOU WONT GET AWAY WITH IT.

I got two new class 10 SDHC cards, a 4G (and a 16G, for the external )
I pried it open with my fingernails, and using a T5 torx screwdriver I opened the case, swapped out the internal SD straight out of the box and closed it up.
I had streakmod 3.2.8, streakdroid 1.9.1, performed a streakmod factory reset and it just started, no formatting, no warnings, no need for a nandroid, it even used my launcherpro settings (which is strange, because someone on this thread mentioned that the internal SD card is where the ROM information goes...)
after using tools like SD booster and SD tools I found optimal speeds, and it's working good.
I expected a better quadrant score considering I went from a no name generic card to a 20x class 10, but still, it works, and for $8 it was worth it.

[Q] "Out Of Space" even after factory reset/wipe

This the replacement streak 5 that Rogers gave me after my first one died. It came with ROM version 1.6 but would not auto update to 2.2. Market also gave me the "out of space" message. It doesn't seem to matter which way i try to load apps (downloading/install from other sources or from computer) i get the same message. If i try 2nd time sometimes they will say they are loaded but app will force close when loading.
I managed to install Steves Streakdroid Gingerbread 2.4.4 (which is wonderful, and yes i did donate) but didn't make any difference to my app installation/update problems.
I've done what i thought was a thorough search for others with this problem but have come up with only Market or cache issues. As i mentioned, this is a fresh install + factory reset and wipe.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
How much space does your device actually show as having available?
Sent from my Dell Streak
Internal memory is showing over 60 MB
External 14 GB
So apparently lots of room on both
Thanks for the reply, hope the info helps
I have managed to load a couple of apps after a few attempts. The apps that did install and load normally installed into the external SD card and the ones that would show installed but not load didn't show up on the external SD card.
On Gingerbread where are the apps normally loaded and can this be easily changed?
I'm suprised that nobody was able to help me with this one but I managed to fix it anyway - it was the internal SD card. I suppose it was faulty or corrupted some how, so I changed it out with a new 4GB SDHD card and all is well. I ended up removing the piece of plastic that covers the internal card rather then going the complete dissassembly route.

It takes just a few minutes to cut away the plastic covering the inner SD Card. I did this to two Streaks. More info here and here.
Most of the info on changing out the internal SD card I got from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220021
I was planning on going the disassembly route but I didn't have the special screw driver (torq?) So just removed the small section of plastic covering covering the internal sd card. It took only 20 mins or so. A normal reboot almost worked but the Streak rebooted itself a couple of times so I did the factory reset and that fixed everything. I'm using DJ Steves Streakdroid 2.4.4

[Q] Internal SD Partitioning/No second SD card

Alright so the second SD card slot stopped working on my streak, and upon investigation It somehow has come loose off of the board. Most of the pins have broken free of their soldering points so much so that it's almost removable. The shroud has also come loose enough to where it doesn't even hold a micro SD card in the slot so basically it's broken beyond repair, or at least repair that I'm confident in doing. The phone no longer boots (DSC 1.1). It basically just sits at the DSC boot screen and goes no further.
After this happened I went ahead and cut away the plastic shrouding the internal SD card so I could have access to it.
What I was thinking might be possible is to maybe pop my 16GB SD card in the internal SD card slot and partition it to where it will act as the system and SD card partitions, much like a lot of Android devices that only have internal memory. I don't even know if it's possible. Any input would be greatly appreciated as I am now back to using my iPhone and as much as I like the iPhone I miss my big beautiful streak and all it could do.
Thanks guys.
There is a thread on Modaco that covers this. From what I remember, it involved flashing a new boot.img, and a lot of them were available. I'd suggest reading the whole thread:

Been reading through that thread and it helped me get my class 10 16GB useable to run the system. Thank you lordmorpheus! The main problem I have now is how to mount the 14GB extra partition (/dev/block/innersd0p2) into the /sdcard folder. I've tried manually through adb-shell (with creating a startup script it in mind) and it mounted the partition in /mnt/sdcard. I also am aware that in order to get the inner sd to be mounted via a computer you need to edit vold.fstab, and that's not a problem. Just need to jump that aforementioned hurdle, which I have no idea how to do and what I need guidance on.
I'm going to continue doing research and see what I can come up with. If anyone has any experience, or guidance feel free to chime in.
have you found a way to automount the extra space as /mnt/sd ?

Working SD CM7 now what?

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

[Q] PLEASE HELP I GIVE UP and throw myself at the mercy of this community

i have read several threads. Installe Ubuntu on a laptop and have come to the conclusion.........I have no business rooting, or anything i hav tried several metods to try and restore my 16gb nt and have been unsuccesful. is there any body out there willing to try and restore it for me. i will pay all shipping and will send it with my 8gb class 10 card. I just want it restored to cm7 or something functional HELL even stock would be great at this point. I do not have the skills to do it myself. It has been bricked for over a month now. This was a device used by all of my family members and now they are all upset with me for ruining it. Will B&N take it back and do a restore? anything ANYTHING PLEASE HELP!
Can't you just start by telling us what you have tried?
Have you for example tried the repart.img card already? If so, what happened?
Edit: I checked you previous posts and see that you tried to get Adam's method going.
Before going through the trouble of sending the Tablet around, try the repart.img
http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/
In short
1. Download, extract zip and save the repart.img in the same folder as you keep your Winimage
2. Open Winimage from within that folder. (Do not "install" and run, just open from the folder!)
3. Choose the "repart.img"
4. Burn it to the card
5. Boot to the card (inserted in Tablet)and wait for green checkmark
6. Turn off, remove card and Tablet will reboot automatically.
If green checkmark doesn't appear after a few minutes and a red cross appears instead, then you're in trouble and nee to try soimething else. But let's hope it deosn't come to that!
o.k.
Thank You! i have followed these instructions. i even started out with a new 8GB SanDisk microSD and a new usb card reader. i was able to successfully create the card. My 16GB NT does boot to the restore screen but I do have the red x in the corner the whole time. When it finishes, i get a the device will shut down in 5 sec. I have tried the re-boot without the card as well as booting with the power button and the cable. i am waiting for a fresh download of adam's file to try that agin. If that does not work I will move onto celtic's instructions.
FINALLY!
Alright! I have returned to stock. courtesy of the AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash. The problem is the touch screen doesn't work. I will be attempting to restore to a previous cm back up from here. I owe more than thanks to so many people here. asawi, AdamOutler, Albert Wertz, Celtic, indirect. and all who helped. them. I have learned a bit in a minute and have a long way to go. My 16 GB NT isn't fully restored but, it's closer today than 4 -5 weeks ago!
Woohoo!! And I see you already know how to fix the touch. I'm sure you'll do fine, and I hope you come back and let us know about your success!!
not quite
i am pretty happy with my success so far. and it is all due to this forum. I haven't figured out how to fix the touch yet. I have tried to flash a few different things but no success yet.
Have you tried just running CM10 from sd card? I don't know if you can do that and restore original touch firmware, but it's worth a try!
The Touchscreen app is included, so it "should" work...
Here's a link to and easy-peasy versio:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
Download (first download under "Download", ending with SDC-IMG.RAR), extract and put img-file in your Winimage folder, burn to card, pop into Tablet and boot into sd card.
Open the Touch firmware app and go back to original.
Remove card and rebbot into stock and hopefully all is well now!
Since you don't actually plan to run the Tablet that way you don't have to expand the user partition on the card, just run it as it is!
Edit: FWIW, I went and tried to flash touch formware while running CM10 from sd-card, and it seems to work fine. I then took the card out a and rebooted to my "regular" (internal) CM10 and reflashed the touch firmware back to what it was.
(I have no need for 10 touch right now, so I keep it in original until I do),
So you really should be good to go with Succulent's (Iamafanof) ready-made CM10 (or CM10.1) card images!

http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
Download (first download under "Download", ending with SDC-IMG.RAR), extract and put img-file in your Winimage folder, burn to card, pop into Tablet and boot into sd card.
Open the Touch firmware app and go back to original.
Remove card and rebbot into stock and hopefully all is well now!
Since you don't actually plan to run the Tablet that way you don't have to expand the user partition on the card, just run it as it is!
Edit: FWIW, I went and tried to flash touch formware while running CM10 from sd-card, and it seems to work fine. I then took the card out a and rebooted to my "regular" (internal) CM10 and reflashed the touch firmware back to what it was.
(I have no need for 10 touch right now, so I keep it in original until I do),
So you really should be good to go with Succulent's (Iamafanof) ready-made CM10 (or CM10.1) card images!

I am getting an error message telling me that the nook has encountered a problem that requires a system restart. If this problem persists, please contact Customer Service
Just reset the tablet and it should load. If not put the repart SD card back in the device again.

I think what I am going to try is re-create and boot from the the AdamOutlerCard and see if that clears up the problem. The nook doesn't seem to recognize the sd card or the format? and will not boot to or from the sd card (CWM) . and then I will move on to Succulent's http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ . I really appreciate the advice and all the help.

At what stage of the recovery did you get this error message, e.g., during the process of initial sign-in to B&N?
o.k. I have achieved boot to SD card using sucullent's iamafanof cm10 image as instructed by asawi. my next goal will be researching and flashing the internals again. i suspect my initial problem resulted from having both cwm and cyanoboot resulting in the two arguing for permissions and rights. Additionally flashing the 10 touch which led to an unresponsive screen, which led me too trying to clear the "wrong" boot or mount and leaving me with only the cwm boot. patience!, clear thinking and help from all of you here got this device back in working order. Again I am extremely grateful for all the help!

So do you now have your touch working! If so, WOOHOO!!
To get CM10 installed internally I followed the steps under C in my post here. I'm pretty much a noon myself, so I though that if I could do it that way, anyone can. So I wrote the steps down.

Yes! Touch is working. I have not completed the registration for B&N yet. It seems that the updates that they push make it more challenging to root and / or flash to internal. I am just running CM off of an 8GB Class 10 micro SD. I don't want to do the B&N registration yet because I haven't 100% decided to flash to internal. Can the updates still be pushed even thogh I haven't registered? I am considering to keep running of an SD and get a 32GB class 6 card to do that. I would like to have the internal flashed because well let's face it the NT really isn't much to talk about until you. Unlock it's true potential. Question this process which I have followed here the repart and return to stock but running CM off the SD is that considered root?
I'm currently running CM 10.1 from an SD card and it does the same thing as internal boot. All information stored on the SD card with root privileges.
Sv: [Q] PLEASE HELP I GIVE UP and throw myself at the mercy of this community
I can't see any reason not to register your device if possible. You can block updates even if you're running stock as long as you're rooted.
It's more convenient running from internal than from SD, but I can't say I noticed much improvement in performance. Stick to class 4 unless you already have the class 6 lying around.
Be prepared that there might be problems registering after running the Ubuntu restore due to serial number possibly having been wiped.
O.K.

Alrighty then. I guess I will stick with just running off the SD card then. If I can't register then I will probably flash to internal. just curious why stick with class 4? Does the class 4 just run better or more compatible with the NT? How can I can confirm root?
SanDisk class 4 is the SD card most often recomended för NT. Runs fast and well and even devices that are fussy boot easily from it. The way data needs to be read for this kind of use isn't any faster on a higher class.

Is it possible or realistic that I can run a different SD card for different people using the tablet? i.e. using an 8 gig card with games and such for my kids to use. another card for my wife and then a card for myself. My fear is that the kids will eject the card or just not really know what they're doing and do something accidentally? (They are kids after all). My wife doesn't like the fact that I keep changing the configurations. Just overall giving everybody the ability to have the apps and configuration they want without encroaching on somebody else's preferences and hogging up all the space available on the card.

Yes that is possible. Just write the SDC version from iamafanof's page onto separate SD card. Recommended to use at least an 8GB Speed 4 microSD.
The other option is to use the profiles/users feature. It might be only CM10.1 builds that have the User capability. You can set up different accounts for yourself, your kids and your wife.
