does anyone know where store books with the B&N reader now that we can use it with CM7?
It should be in a folder called Nook.
I'm having troubles signing in. It states there is an external error. Anyone have that error besides me?
I'm getting the same error it will not sync at all. I think until they figure out the mounting issues with the internal and external sd cards we are just stuck. Luckily Aldiko will let you search for folders and import books that way too get me by until the issue is resolved.
Oh BN, Why couldn't you have just made a stock 2.3 OS with the Nook app preinstalled. I love their ecosystem. I love the NT design and specs. They'd still have gotten my money for books and mags. It would have been a hackers dream.
Thanks for the Aldiko idea.
If it helps, I was able to install the 'B&N Nook' app ok and signed in with my info earlier. And the app works and I can read the .epub books that I copy to the sd card.

I stored them on the sd card in a folder under 'My Files'.
Edit: They are in the 'My Documents' folder in the 'Nook' folder.
i tried to reinstall nook reader and now I am getting an internal error. O also tried to install alkido or whatever app it was that was suggested. I was not able to install it due to an SD card error
I got it to work. I had to go in and delete the folder that was there from when I tried to install nook reader before CM7. I rebooted and installed the reader again. I moved the books over to the folder that was suggested. SD/nook/mydocuments. I rebooted the NT and was able to pull the books up with no issues. ROCKIN!
I'll try to delete the stock BN leftovers on my SD and reboot. The Nook App must check for NC or NT files and wigs out if they are present.

that must be what it is cause after I did all this, I didn't have any issues. I didn't see any of the other error messages I saw earlier. let me know if that does it for you or if I just got lucky. I wanna know if this fixes this issue or not
Okay, I deleted the "My Files" folder that was left over from the stock ROM. I then uninstalled the Nook app and deleted any files that left over. I then reinstalled the app, signed in, and it worked.
I installed the nook for Android app and logged in fine. Books were in nook folder once downloaded. I have since restored to mod stock until a cm7 zip/bit more polish on the weird app install/restore issues or cM9 is ready.

Scratch that. I'm getting sync errors. I think it's related to the sdcard bugs in CM7

Today I found that the contents of my SDCARD (internal) was deleted. It doesn't look like the SDCARD was formatted because 1 or 2 files were still left behind.
I don't know if this was what triggered the delete but this is what I did prior to it happening:
In Settings I unmounted the 32 GB micro-sd card. The alert said it was safe to remove the card.
I ejected the card.
I reinserted the card. The G-Tablet did not detect it.
I powered down the G-Tablet and then powered up.
The external card was now detected ad I found that I lost the contents of the internal card.
I am using update 3389 with the Enhancement Pack v1.
This is not good.
Was it just media files? If so, then this is a known issue (with stock, as well as mods like TnT Lite and VEGAn).

The DCIM folder was deleted. I also had a folder named "download" in which I had several PDFs and a subfolder with APK files. The xScope folder (with Cache, downloads and Themes) was deleted along with a few more that I do not remember their names.

I have been searching the forums looking for a fix for this and I haven't been able to find one. Tried to search the forums with an advanced search from Google as well, no lock. This is an old thread, but is there any update to this? Running Vegan 5.11, Pershoot kernal. I had a bunch of pictures and video that were deleted, but the folders/containers they were in were not deleted. Thanks in advance for any help.

When you apply this file everything is supposed to stay and not be deleted right?
I installed VEGAn-TAB 7.0 and had the same problem with media files disappearing (.mp4 video files and .jpg files). Happened when I deleted one file from the internal storage (memory). Next time I came in to the Videos folder on the internal storage everything was gone. Another time happened after I unmounted and removed my external micro SD Card 16gb. Also had the same thing happen with media files disappearing from the external micro SD Card. Very frustrating. Finally put all those elusive media files on my trusty 8gb Transcend Flash Drive and lo and behold, everything worked fine and I could play all those videos, remove the USB drive and when next inserted everything was okay. For whatever reason, the USB flash drive works far better and more safely than the micro SD card. Plugged the USB flash drive into my USB 2.0 4-port hub along with the USB keyboard and USB mouse.
i am seeing conflicting fixes.
some people say to make a file named .nomedia in the root of the sdcard2
other people say to make a folder named .nomedia and put all your files inside.
the 3rd fix i see is to make a .nomedia file in each directory that contains media
which is the correct method.
thank you.

how did you make the file? if you are using windows to create the file over usb, it automatically adds .txt to the end. i suggest making it through a file manager on the tablet.
i have not tried this yet, i will when i get home.

i used notepad but i enabled "show known file extensions" and made sure its a .nomedia file. Even windows sees it as a .nomedia file.
I will try to make it from the tablet and see if that helps.

creating the .nomedia folder with ifilemanager worked. I created the folder then moved the files to the SDcard. I have rebooted numerous times and the files are still there. Previously they would have been deleted.
Thanks.

My problem is apps being deleted and not media.
I hope this thread isn't getting too old. So I am having similar issues with files being deleted periodically after some reboots, the only difference is that the majority of the time they are apps and no longer media.
Specs:
-Running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 stable
-I have created .nomedia file and placed on root of SD (no file extension)
-I use Apps2SD Pro to move apps to sd card
-When I notice that an app no longer appears in my tray after a reboot, i will reinstall from the market and before the install it will tell me that "this will replace an existing version already installed" which leads me to believe that the app is still there just not accessible.
There were a few instances where some of my ebooks and pdf's were being deleted, but that stopped after I placed the .nomedia file on the SD, but dont seem to see any change regarding deleted apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
So I got my 32 GB card today. I plugged in my phone copied my external sd stuff to a new folder, switched cards then copied the folder contents on to the new card. I also transferred some pictures from the internal memory to the new card. Now many of my apps claim to be not installed any more. I never did use anything like apps2sd or anything like that. I figured it would work for me to keep internal for apps and external for media.
Thoughts, ideas?

let me guess, you copied the files and folders with windows explorer? if so then you missed the hidden folders that start with a dot (.) which holds the apps that are/were installed to sd..
If u still got the old card and havent formatted it yet you can still copy them, just enable "show hidden files" in windows explorer (google it) and copy them.

Mac OSX. Still don't remember installing any apps to sd, unless the apps themselves did it. I don't have any directories, etc that I copied or moved that pertains to the apps

So I put the old card back and the apps are working, so that is good news. Next step is I am creating a disk image from the old card (disk utility ftw) and I will use that to restore on to the new one, making it a carbon copy.
Hopefully this works
Slow process!

Do you have an SD card inserted? If not I believe that is the problem.
Same problem here...have sd card installed and my nook is rooted. Just started happening....???? I also get a message about trying to download from amazon cloud, which I haven't gotten before....coincidence?
Check your micro-SDCard and make sure that it is not full or close to becoming full. This happened to me on my Nook Tablet and it brough about lots of frustration. I went ahead and restored to B&N Stock & rerooted (twice) only to find out that it was because my SD Card was extremely close to being full. I pulled it out, swapped in another one, and presto.
I verified this problem more than once and hopefully you'll be able to resolve this by freeing up some space or just backing up everything on your SDCard to your computer, formatting and giving it a shot once more.
My SD card is 52% full . . . ? I'm assuming that is still enough space?
52% should be enough. Can you try with another microSD card and see what happens? Thanks, keep us posted.

I just started having the same problem. I have Amazon Appstore version release-2.2.0. I tried to uninstall and re-install the Appstore (same version replaced) and no good. Tried to clear cache and re-install... no good.
I started looking at the sd card and cannot find where Amazon keeps the data. Could it be in the main memory?
So... I checked the card (no problems) and tried to re-install an old app. This is what happens:
Downloads fine then stalls during the install. When I go to the App's page, it says "retrieving your app from the cloud."
What else can I do short of wiping and re-rooting?
I have a NT 1.4.0 unrooted with sideloading available. I just launched the Amazon App Store and it was version 2.1.0. I updated it to 2.2.0 with no problem, and then for grins checked for updates for some apps. I successfully updated them.
I also have a N2A installaction (please don't judge me). It had 2.2.0 and an update to an app worked just fine.
Not sure what's going on for others.
re-mount SD card worked for me
I've had the same issue with Amazon apps (downloading and updating). I unmounted and re-mounted the SD card (pop it out and back in) and that fixed the issue. Good luck!
I've never been able to install apps from the Amazon app store for some reason. They'll download, but I can't seem to install them.

I tried that but didn't have any luck. I DID find out where Amazon stores the APK files. It's at:
sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/cache.
Unfortunately, I couldn't load them from there (using ES File Explorer). I had to email to my self and run them from the Download area. This brought up the "Install App/Install Package" dialogue box. I installed Package and it worked. A lot of steps, but it works.
Unfortunately, i STILL don't know why Amazon can't install the files after downloading them... weird.

Oh, never mind. Just figured out that the app in question (bejeweled) isn't compatible. Other apps install just fine.
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

Hi,
How can I get the factory pre-installed Kindle app to recognise and read my ebooks on my micro SDHC card? I guess I should copy those I want it to see into a folder of internal memory, but I don't know which one.
I'm asking this because the MyLibrary app, that is capable of search and find the ebooks everywhere in the device, doesn't work since the JB update (I reported it in another thread). OK, I can use other epub readers from Market, but Kindle is there and a lot of people like it. I would give it a try too.
Thanks,
Tibor
Create a folder called Kindle on the internal sd memory and drop the mobi files there for kindle to see them.
Thank you! I'll try it.
