You can't, yet.
This uses a method called 2ndinit myself and peetr_ have been looking into using this option.

so we can have one androidOS in the internal storage and another android OS in the external storage?? that's really really cool! Would photon 4g be the first phone to have more than 1 OS installed?

I have used suggestions from Atrix thread and they worked fine. I have tried two or three times and each time I got some issues. I was copying stock 2.3.4 ROM onto SD card. One time USB ports were not working - no charging, no connection to computer with the cable. Next time there was problem with Play Market. I have tried different steps to reset its settings to no avail. It was giving error related to storage unavailability while downloading anything. I have removed Play Market completely, then somehow install it back, but the issue was not resolved. Now I think maybe it's a permissions issue.
Also device was really slow while running OS on sd-card (I have 32GB Transcend Class 10). It's fun to try but I don't see any practical use for it.

hey can you write a detailed guide with instructions on how you got dual boot working on photon 4g please !? I cant afford to make mistakes and bork my phone >.>
And like you said as long as i can charge my phone and connect to my computer with one of the operating system its not a problem. But having dual boot will be really helpfull means I can check out more than one Rom simultaneously.

The instructions I followed from Atrix page are very detailed. Link is here
It takes time to have a thread where most of the common questions answered. I think it is useless effort to start similar topic here, in addition - I don't have necessary time, knowledge and wish for this.
Anyway, if you do something wrong - you should always have full backup - then you risk nothing. Remember that if you got soft-bricked and recovery doesn't work, you can always use RSD lite to load stock 198_7 ROM, unlock, write new recovery and restore from initial backup.
The only difference between Atrix and Photon, (relative to this task) that you should keep in mind is the partition sizes. Partition table by LAKSHMAN in Play Market (or any other partition tool) can show you your partition sizes. I didn't guess to use these tools when I followed the instructions. Add up some 10 GB to each partition, just in case. When you partition your SD card, you should create partitions of the following size:
system - 420 MiB (stock ROM system partition size 408 MiB)
cache - 645 MiB (my current cache size on stock ROM is 610 MiB)
data - 2.6 MiB
I would also recommend to use script manager to launch scripts that will replace boot image from one to another. In other words, it will control where you will boot next time.
Note that Windows 7 is going mad about SD card with several partitions - sometimes you can see a single ntfs partition, sometimes it shows the ext3 partition, offering to reformat it.

no im sure he miss typed he meant MB like he says in his post in the other thread. ok thanks man ill play around with it a bit so you're sure the phone wont be hard bricked right? I'm a very careful person I'm pretty confident I wont make mistakes all i want to know is everything every instruction given there is detailed enough and that nothing is omitted from it(meaning i dont have to do anything different except the partition sizes you mentioned here)

Yes, everything else from that topic applies. Be careful when you use dd. If you specify wrong drive names you might be in trouble (this will require loading sbf with RSD lite to fix partitions, I guess).
The longest part is to extract boot.img, edit the configuration file there and pack the whole thing back to andorid .img format. It requires you to install Android SDK with some tools that might not work straight away.

I did NOT paritition my gTablet after I installed CWM 0.8. My CM7-based ROMs have installed and worked just fine, including the new Market app. Do I need to partition?
The only real error I have had is the inability to transfer files (using Astro) between my internal 16 GB memory (/mnt/emmc/) and my installed 2GB sd card (/mnt/sdcard). Will partitioning help solve this?
TIA!
I think partitioning is an important step and really should be a mandatory step at least for the first flash. It sets up your memory structure in the same architecture that the roms and recovery were built in. Its quick, painless and can solve many issues before they even start. Its best done right when you first start flashing as it destroys all data on the tablet, so anything you want to save needs to be backed up on a PC first.

I agree with Mantara. I think it reduces the chances of corrupting the tablet's data. Also, repartitioning is a bigger pain if you decide to do it later when you have a like a ton of files in your internal memory and have to back it up because repartitioning reformats the internal sd card.
McGoo,
I don't disagree with Mantara that prevention might be good. You'll have to make that call.
I look at re-partitioning from the recovery perpective -- it simply hinges on the fact
that I have noticed what I believe is a correlation between Boot Loops and the need
to re-partition. Re-partitioning (and the associate wipes/etc.) seems to fix the boot
loops most of the time.
If your tablet is working fine, I go with the old computer quote "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!"
*********
Your other question -- I don't have a firm answer. The Android file system and the
USB stuff on the tablet -- to me operate in a strange. Kind of an OS with an arm or
two tied behind it's back. I know that's not an answer, so I'll quit.

that's the approach i'll take for now. when time comes for officially official CM7 tablet releases, i'll reformat then. until then i'll just enjoy things as they are. thanks for the feedback, all.
Compiled Fota for 8500KK7
from src http://code.google.com/p/badadroid/

I heard some things I can't recall xD
It wasn't from personal experience. I'm going to flash XXKK7 soon, once the firmware is down and try the new FOTA.
I was getting massive problems getting android back on my phone after I re-flashed it. Every SINGLE time I did it, the wave S would flash as it initialised and would just crash all of a sudden. Every time I tried doing little changes, I'd reflash and try again and it just got ridiculous. I must've tried 5 times to get Android back on there.
Hopefully I will have more success with this firmware and Bada 2.0!
EDIT:
Exact same problem. I'm losing the will to lose with this now... I must be doing SOMETHING wrong. Can someone enlighten me?
I'm using XXKK7 with the custom bootloader and was using XXKK5 with the XPKJ1 (Think it's called that) custom firmware and bootloader and a thousand times I've had this problem. I flash the phone with those exact firmware setups and then copy over the galaxyboot folder with the image file in and the other stuff and put the mkextimages into the root of the internal storage and boot into recovery mode. That works perfectly.
THIS is where I have no idea what to do. The tutorial doesn't specify even slightly what I do here. Do I click reboot immediately, or do I select format SD or some other combination? I do remember using some of them before I booted and it worked, but I've tried so much and it's wasted so much time I want to know what I'm doing rather than testing blind and then waiting 10-20 minutes with a wiped phone again. I'm so tired of wasting my time because of what seems to be like laziness. Every time I boot using the normal call and power buttons, it gets bast the galaxy boot screen, does the galaxy animation and flashes for a bit, as it should, to initialise it all and freezes for a second and then crashes. I haven't checked for a while and have forgotten but I think it's in bootloop when it does that. When I say bootloop, I mean black screen on the phone that then turns off after a bit and then on again, like that in an endless cycle. After removing the battery, I can then try to boot using the normal android call+power but it does the same thing.
I did have Android on there but it got so slow and bogged down, corrupted my SD Card that I couldn't stand it anymore and did a clean flash, which should send the phone back to factory default, Bada 2.0. Ever since that I've never been able to put android back on there and I can't be bothered to do it again until someone can suggest something to help the problem.
I've literally reflashed around 10-15 times to try and fix the problem.
Could someone tell me what they do to get android on their phone, specifically using XXKK7, from start to finish, including how they flash? Just for information, to speed things up, I've flashed custom FOTA files on along with standard files. Do I have to put the custom files on after? Bada works fine, as it always has.
Thanks, sorry to sound pissy and arrogant and rude, but I'm just annoyed I can't get this to work because of a lack of guidance.

In Android recovery console you don't need do anything, just wait while phone powered down, can take ~ 5min
Then boot android with Call key+Power

Just leave as it is and don't press anything, it must shut down when finish process automatically
Edit
It also mention in Tutorial
Then this should popup (after the SGS screen)
DO NEVER, ABSOLUTELY NEVER PULL OUT BATTERY OR TOUCH THE PHONE IN THIS PROCESS
http://shadowas1.com/badadroid/IMG_0050.JPG
This can take up to 5 minutes.
Now, Two things can happen
1. The phone boots bada
2. The phone shuts down
In any of this cases your phone is absolutely fine. If you have case 2 you can boot bada to check if everythings alright if you wish.
Assuming we all boot bada shut down the phone again
Boot android in the normal way by holding the Power and Call key

Honestly, I'd call Android retarded in the SD realm xD
Not only did it corrupt my card, but it puts lots of folders completely unorganised and visible into your SD. I like how Bada manages it personally. I'm sure there's a way to get around it, but it seems clumsy.

the way i see it, bada causes the issues by not using a 100% fat filesystem (something else likte tfs4 or such), i usually got around it by starting over with wiping the partitions from the SDcard and then creating about 3 primary partitions and ensuring the first is FAT formatted by windows (rest for android data and cache if wanted for such), both bada and android should them manage to use the FAT partition fine.

You set up the partitions yourself using Linux?
I'm still running off of NAND (Running way faster now), I presume you are using the SD Version?
EDIT: I have noticed that I can't access music on Android now and I was having problems with the gallery. Damnit.
i'm using NAND method because my SDcard is too slow, the Nand version mounts external SDcard as internal SDcard in android.
I've basically spent my entire day off from work trying to root my Nook Tablet 8GB to get CM10.1 put on it, and I'm ready to yank my hair out. A while back I successfully got CM10 on an sdcard and have been running that from the sdcard while my warranty was still active (just in case). Now my warranty's run out, and CM10 had been running sluggish for a while, in spite of my cleaning off all unnecessary files regularly. So I figured I'd try an internal ROM install. After hunting around for some really good detailed instructions for noobs (because I totally am one), I found this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368) and decided that even though it looked inefficient to go from CM7 to CM10, it broke the steps down enough for me to follow along.
However, I'm now stuck with CWM not reading the sdcard once it's time to install CM7 and gapps from the zip files. I keep getting the message, "No files found." I've tried unmounting the sdcard (and mounting "sd-ext," just for kicks), and it says, "Error unmounting /sdcard." If I try choosing "format /sdcard," it says, "E:format_volume failed to unmount '/sdcard.'" I've tried popping it out and back in multiple times. I've tried formatting in SDFormatter over again (even did a full overwrite erase, which takes forever, b/c I got a message saying the device doesn't support flash erase). I've been using Minitool to ensure that the partition is always FAT32, primary, set to active. I've gone into the stock OS and used a workaround I found to ensure that it will install apps from unknown sources. I've tried doing the root again from the beginning (which is a pain in the butt because I only have 1 sdcard to use for both the root and the ROM, so I have to keep switching the files out). I have no idea what I could be doing wrong, but I fear that it's something really basic.
Does it matter that I'm leaving the partition labeled "boot" for the ROM install? Is there a better way to put the files on the sdcard besides just with a Windows drag and drop? Is there a way for me to reboot the Nook from within CWM to maybe force it to read the sdcard fresh (keeping in mind that the sdcard no longer has the CWM files on it by that point)? I've seen some info online about people having issues with this class of sdcard, but I really don't want to spend the money on a new one until I rule out the possibility of a stupid user error. I'm also loathe to give up and go back to running a ROM from the sdcard because I've already put over 8 hours into trying to make use of the full Nook memory... If anyone has suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Please keep in mind that any instructions will need to be very, very basic, though.

There is no point in flashing CM7 if you're aiming to immediately flash CM10 on top of it.
To flash CM10.x, I'd suggest you try the process outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42985699&postcount=117 if you'd like to use a more recent CM10.1 build.

Thank you, I'll try that tonight after work! After having been through the steps in the original instructions so many times, I'm familiar enough with things like Minitool Partition Wizard that I can get by with slightly less noobish instructions now. So that's one silver lining... [crosses fingers]
It seems to have worked! The first time I tried to turn it on after the install, the screen went and stayed black after the initial Cyanoboot screen. So I forced a reboot, but it appears to be running just fine! Thanks for the help!
I got a NT not long ago and it is now rooted and running CM10, however I still lost in regards the 1gb user partition. CM10 is installed in that partition and I wanted in fact repartition the NT but the process seems to be confuse and risky so I was wondering if I have to stay llimited to work with just 1GB.
How about games and other programs I download? Are they all be installed in that 1gb?
I inserted a 16gb card but I cannot re -direct the apps to install in the external or even move them to the sd ext card. I also cannot see it with a file manager.
Could I use the B&N partition to load movies, apps etc or it will be sitting there useless?
Is there maybe an easier way to re-flash and repartition?
Thank you
BUMP!
You can reaprtition the same way they do in stores if you want to and get an 8GB partition for own storage. The repart.img mentioned in many other topics will do that for you. You will loose everyhting and get right back to out of the box stock firmware if you do it, but it's really easy.

The download link is in the very beginning of this post. If you've got image writing software already you can then jump to step 2. Extract the downlad and burn the reaprt.img to a card. Insert card and boot to it. After a few minutes a green chejmark should appear. (If a red cross appears instead you're in trouble.) Remove card and an update starts and goes on for a few minutes and you can then start over with yout CM10 install again.

So after doing this will I have to reroot or I just have to reinstall cm10? Getting my 16gb card in the mail (hopefully today) should I wait to get the card or can I just copy everything from my 8bg to the 16 and everything remain? Thank you for your help!
It's probably me being stupid, but I don't understand what setup you have and quite what you are talking about. Running the repart .img will completely erase everything on the device and set it back to freshly bought. Whatever you have in internal memory that you want to save you need to save somewhere else.
I don't get your reasoning that CM10 is installed in your 1GB partition, because that is not the norm.
Probably me being stupid, but I can't help you.

Well, if you're installing CM10 you don't actually have to root as a separate process. Just install CM10 and rooting will come done at the same time. Itäs only if you plan to run stock you need to root.
If you have to go and get stuff from several pages you are probably not doing the installing in a very efficient way. Possibly things can be done a lot easier now than whe you originally did it.
Ihave made several posts outlining an extremely easy way to install CM. Look for them if you want to.

I had already done the root from a video I saw on youtube then used your link for cm from the [Q] Noob Alert! Nook Tablet 8GB Rooting Question! post. So just doing the cm from that same post will also root my device? I don't really need anything on the actually nook. I got it as a gift and use the kindle app for all my books. I will defiently look into your other posts. I just got the NT a little less than a month ago.
If you root before installing CM10 you'll just overwrite the root you did, so no point in doing it.
Once CM10 is installed your Tablet should be rooted.
All you need to do is get into CWM 6.x.x an flash the ROM and appropriate gApps zips.
Hi,
sorry to disturb you but I do have some little "problems" with my HTC ONE AT&T.
I bought this phone, simunlocked already, and with revone I put it SOFF and than I "converted" it to international version of it (thinking that keeping the AT&T versionI coudn't install internatinal rom...I understood I was wrong but anyway I'm from Europe so I like to have international CID).
Few strange things happened (I'm not sure if it's normal or not).
The first one is that it seems that my phone is loosing memory, it's supposed to have 32 Gb but, as you can see from the attachment, it has just 25.5 Gb, is that normal (I do use a really slim rom, just 150 Mb, but anyway it's the same with any rom I install)...is it normal? Is it possible to format ALL and restore all the memory to an initial state (where there shall be at least 30-31 Gb avaialble I think)??
The second is that sometimes, after installing a rom, exiting the aroma installer, the screen become black instead of getting me back to the recovery (actually it seems it brings me back to the recovery but the screen goes off and no way to turn it on...so force reboot and than everything works fine....but sometimes reinstalling the same rom over and over it works fine, it bring me back to recovery and I can normally reboot the system), is it normal?
Than during the boot it says that this is a test device and so on (a sentence written under the HTC logo), is there a way to remove it? I thought I could do it with revone (I thought it was the tempered flag) but I tried the following thing and isn't removing it even if it says succesfully: Re-run revone to remove TAMPERED from your HBOOT screen: ./revone -t (but maybe it's another thing).
So is there a way to remove that sentence?
Thanks,
Massimiliano

Is there a way to check if some part of the memory is lost/full from previous rom and it wasn't clean well??
I'm using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50698141 it's realy minimal, without NOTHING, even the play store was missing...how can it use 7 Gb of memory?

Just go into settings and select storage. It tells you what is being used and by what.. Memory is used like a hard drive and it is formatted so the system can use it properly. That being said on 32GB you loose about 2GB to the formatting. Then the system and everything else on he phone uses it. There is also a swap file of several GB that is used when the 2GB of RAM is too full. There are also a couple of cache that use that memory as well. What you are seeing is typical storage usage of most phones running on Android. You loose around 7 to 10 GB to the system.

Well is like installing Linux on a computer.. The easy setup sets different partitions that the system is going to use for multiple purposes hence losing some GB in the process to be able to perform as required.

Ok I do understand that but as you can see from the screenshot attached in Setting-Storage it says Total Space 25.59Gb, available 24 and something.
I would like to see/understand/access the remaining 6/7 Gb that are not showed there!
I've the feelings that the memory is decreasing every time I'm installing a rom, I also formatted EVERYTHING. loosing the operating system (than I had to push a rom in the memory) but still is like that!
Any suggestion or idea on how to see what is inside those 7 Gb "missing" from the total space?
Any way to format them?
It's not missing, open a terminal window and execute df command - that will list partitions. Data is 25.6GB, system 1.8GB, cache 600MB, etc. All 32GB are there, but are partitioned for different aspects of the OS, you can't change that.

Thank you so much for your answer, I'm slowly understanding how this is working
I am than wondering if it's possible that multiple install of things (updating hboot, recovery, different rom and so on) can leave some "dirty" file or folder meaning that some not necessary files are still there taking space for nothing.
This is my df results, can you check if, for your opinion, everything is fine or if there is some folder too big as it shall be?
Another question is if it's possible to just delete ALL the 32Gb, removing all the partition and stuff and then in some way restore it to a "default" (I don't know what I'm actually saying, I hope you understood what I mean...mainly like in any windows pc you can just remove all the partition, format all and reinstall the OS from zero).
Thanks a lot,
Massimiliano
p.s. I'm including the screenshot of my df result

It looks normal, you can't delete all of the partitions it would brick the phone. Flashing roms doesn't leave old files, because the install wipes the system first.

I don't want to sound like an ass but what you have is normal so you are going to have to live with it. There is no way to get more memory cleared up unless you have absolutely nothing but the ROM running and nothing else downloaded and installed. Everyone who has the 32GB version of this phone has the same amount of memory as you. Some have less as they have installed other apps. added music, movies, and pictures.
The ONLY way you could get more memory is to get the 64GB version of this phone. I knew it did not have a card slot so I took that into account and bought the 64GB version so I would have plenty of space for anything I wanted.

If I knew that 32 Gb meant 25 I would consider to buy the 64 Gb too ... but other than te space I just wanted to understand IF it was normal that, after just flashed a really basic clean rom (just 156 mb of rom) it was normal to have just 25 Gb free (no other additional apps, no photo and so on) ... it's normal, ok, I'll be happy with that and next phone I'll consider a 64Gb version of it.
Thanks everyone for the reply
