so i rooted with a 4gb sd card in my nook, will i have to re-root my noot tablet if i upgrade to a new micro sd card or anything? i would post this in development but the forums do not allow me since I have less than ten post. Thanks
Root is applied to the on board storage and swapping out the sdcard will have no effect.

no it will not effect your root

Got my new Note, this is my first droid phone, and I got LOTS of questions. I currently have the i717 version, unrooted.
1) Is currently is any reliable way to install ICS on the i717?
2) How do I check if there were any previous kernel or ROM flashes?
3) Is there a reliable way to root the device WITHOUT increasing the counter (assuming it is currently at 0)?
4) How do I move installed apps, which are currently under "System Storage" to "USB storage"?
I can answer all of your questions very simply. Search and read.
yep all ur answers are here just gotta read,

Ya from what I gathered, there is ICS for the international version. I have yet to see something for the i717.
I dont have an SD yet, I was referring to moving them from System to USB storage.
I will be getting as SD soon though.

There are two potential SD cards for the Note. One is the internal SD card. This is actually the part of the phone where you store your music and other files. It's the space allotted by the OS for storage. The Note comes with 16GB of internal storage, but 2GB is reserved for the system. You cannot access this for data storage. There is also a portion of the internal SD card that is used by the OS itself.
The remaining amount of storage is about 12GB. This is accessible through a file explorer such as Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, etc, and is located in the /sdcard folder. This is where any App2SD type app will move apps to. This is also where you store your music and other files like photos, etc.
The Note also has a slot for an external SD card. To access it, you take the battery cover off and right next to the SIM card, there is a little slot for the micro SD card. The Note is published as handling up to 32GB micro SD cards, but there are plenty of people using 64GB micro SD cards with their phone.
Using the external SD card would allow you to add additional music and photos and other files. It is not used at all by the OS or system, so you would have as much space on it as you can after formatting it. (You lose some space after formatting.)
So to summarize: the Note has 16GB, about 12GB available through the internal SD card. You can add additional storage using the external SD card (officially up to 32 GB, unofficially up to 64Gb).

Got it, but still have a little question. I noticed when I install any app, it goes directly onto the 2GB system reserved space. What if I run out of that 2GB, what happens in that case, can I move the installed apps into the 12GB or I have to move it into the purchased/external SD card?

^^ got it, thanks.
K I researched and read, I still cannot find out if I can safely root my Bell i717, without increasing the flash counters.
Also, it seems there is no ICS yet available for this device.
Can someone please chime in?
wow this thread cleared up a lot for me. Still got a few questions though...so when i go to settings and click on an app and click "move app to sd" it moves it to the "internal sd" which has about 12gb of space? so then what goes on the external sd card? is the storage on the SD card ONLY accessible when you plug it into a computer and put it in mass storage mode? I remember when I had my nexus one, moving apps to sd actually put it on the external sd card..
The note is not a DROID. Droid is a verizon marketing term.
You can reset your flash counter. So even if you increase it by flashing CWM or rooting then just reset it back to 0. That's what I did.
Once CWM is installed flash all the ROMs you want through CWM. Just back up nandroid first and you can always go back.
I use a 64GB microSD card and store nandroid backups, photos, videos, podcasts, etc.
The internal SD (USB Storage) is used for app data.

Root ir phone throigh odin then go search dev thread for the rom u want read the requiements then flash they r all good
note @ 1.83
... You don't need root to flash a ROM.
Instead of rooting with Odin, just flash CWM with Odin then flash the ROM from there.
The only reason to root first, is to run titanium backup if you so desire
I just pre ordered the 32g galaxy S3. (SO EXCITED) I currently have a rooted thunderbolt. My TB has a 32G SD card in it currently and my wife wants the phone. If she takes it, I will want it to stay rooted for her but I really want that 32g SD card for my S3. Can I simply transfer all the rooted files from my current 32g sd card to my wifes smaller 8g SD card and still have root? If not, what can I do to get that SD card and still keep root along with the ROM and Kernel files?
thanks
The thunderbolt will stay rooted but the s3 will have to be rooted separately. There is a possibility that you could make a tibu of all your apps and restore them to the s3 after you get root.

I understand i will have to root the S3 seperately and then format the card to the S3. So i should be able to simply transfer the files from my 32g SD to her SD card? from there willl i need to flash the rom and kernel again on the TB or will it automatically recognize the files?
I don't think you will even have to format the sd card. The kernel on the thunderbolt should remain the same regardless of whether the file is on the sd card.

Hello!
I recently managed to destroy my screen on my HTC Legend. This means i can't use it at all, however, i'd really like to recover the contacts/files i stored on the internal SD card.
I tried to find threads that could help me among the forum topics, but none concerned a case where you weren't able to use the specific phone.
So my question is, is it possible to recover this data through the USB connection somehow? Even though i cant manually selected "Connect as harddrive" on the phone when connecting it to my computer?
Regards Host
Cant you take out the sdcard and use an micro sd to sd card adapter to read out your data?

Which ROM? On a Sense based ROM, HTC makes it really easy to use the trackball as an alternative to finger input.
Connect your phone, MENU, trackball to Notifications, trackball to Connect to PC, trackball to Disk Drive, trackball to OK.
Similar results can be achieved on a CM based ROM.

Do you want to access the SD card or internal storage? If its the SD card as said before take out the SD card from phone and put it into either a card reader that will read micro SD or use a micro SD to SD carrier/converter and use a normal SD card reader. This I beloved is the "best" solution of all.

My phone has alot of build in memory, so it emulates an SD card. But that runs out of space fast.
I have an SD card in it now, but it's mounted as sdcard2.
Can I disable the emulated SD card and make it goto the real sd card?
I can't move apps to the sd card because the sd card is emulated. Programs like link2sd don't give me the option to choose where I want to install to. It just chooses /mnt/sd card, which is the emulated card, not /mnt/sdcard2, which is the real one.

it does not emulate an sdcard. all android devices recognise internal memory as an sdcard. externals cards are recognised as sdcard2, external_sd or sd-ext. its perfectly normal for it to be like that

Reread my question. You didn't answer it.

I know this is about a month old, but I figured I'd chime in in case you're still having the issue.
No, there isn't a way to disable the SD card emulation. At least not that I've found. Only thing I found that works was to root my phone, partition a portion of a 32gig sd card and use Link2SD to use that as the default install location.
The instructions I followed:
http://www.noypigeeks.com/android/tutorial-a-guide-to-link2sd/
Again this requires a rooted phone, but seeing as you run the same phone I do (if your signature is accurate) it's not a problem. Just follow the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40121670 Took me less than 10 minutes.
That seems to have worked, Thanks!

The only working way for me is to install cyanogenmod 13 which will give you the opportunity to mount your second storage (sd card) as internal storage (first).
I picked up a new 64gb SD card and tried to use TWRP to backup a ROM and no luck trying to backup to the card, can do internal memory no problem.
Anyone think of a reason for this? I can move files to the card via USB and ES Explorer so it isn't a writable problem.
Maybe it needs formatting to the correct form?
I had to do that to my trusty 8gb sd card I've had for years to get it to work.

But how do you explain being able to transfer files to it while in the phone, and also download directly to it?
Are you able to choose the external card from within TWRP for backups or is it not even an option there. It should be there if you touch the bar that says internal.. Sorry not rooted ATM so I can't see exactly what it says.
