Hello all. I recently got my SanDisk class 10 64gig sd card and I moved everything that was on my internal memory to the external. Now I've noticed that all my s note stuff isn't appearing when I open the app. I've already figured out a fix for other apps such as browser downloads and such but I don't see an option to change the directory in s note. Anyone have any tricks?

I don't think you can just toss everything on your card like that because not all apps will work natively from the sd card like you used to be able to do with previous versions of Android.. You would have to run a mod to get your sd card to be set as internal and vice versa... Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772234 :good:
I haven't rooted this thing yet. I haven't seen a reason to buy this may be it. Any one have it working for the note 2?

Hey shojus, thanks for help and the links. Can you confirm that this works on the Verizon version of the Note 2 specifically? I ask because I'm really nervous about flashing my phone too much and possibly bricking it. I'm actually very tech savvy, but this is my first jump into rooting an Android phone. Here's the basic scoop:
I need more space so I rooted my phone so I could employ a memory mod to give myself more room for apps. I first attempted using directory bind, but that didn't seem to work. It DID bind apps to my external sd, but there were several issues popping up (apps that refused to load, and more importantly the actual directory bind app was glitching). I ended up ditching that method and thought I'd look into a memory switch method, such as the one you've linked to. However, after thoroughly reading up on the idea of rooting and custom roms, etc, I'm nervous about flashing the wrong rom or patching the wrong software and killing my Note 2. I have a Verizon Note 2 that I rooted using Odin and I used Bean's rom to do so. I really like Bean's rom, but I don't mind flashing to a new rom if it means I'll be able to get more memory. I may end up just flashing to the rom you linked to that has the memory-switch built in to it, but I really do like Bean's rom, so I'd rather find a way to get the memory switch done while still running Bean's rom, if that's possible. If not, can I just jump from Bean's rom (like I currently am) into that other custom rom that has the memory-switch built in?
Thanks for the help!

STOP TRYING TO USE ROM MANAGER.......it is worthless for the fascinate and does not work properly. Install everything manually. I taught myself how to root and install custom roms and kernels by simply using google. I have no problem helping people as long as they are trying at least to figure out the basic stuff first by reading.

This!! Although I did get rom manager to work once, but it would only work on imnuts pbj kernal with cwm 4.0.1.8 or whatever it is. I too learned how to root/rom by using google lol. When I first got my fassy back in april, I typed "How to root Fascinate" and popped up a link to a youtube vid with directions...bam it was on like donkey kong lol!
Has any found a way to move or install apps to the SD card? I know there is a fix for the GS3, but due to the locked bootloader there is probably no chance it will work on our Notes. So far it seems like the only option is to bind apps, but this seems tedious and probably not useful for smaller apps.
Apps2SD is not an option right now, there is a way to bind the apps and extra data and run them from the ext. SD card. Check out this current thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
Do you guys think this will work?
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...sd-card-with-rooted-galaxy-note-2-app2sd-mod/
I know it says it has only been tested on the other versions. But I know who a guy who did this on his Sprint Note 2 and he did it on someone else's Verizon Note 2 and he said it worked on the Verizon one too. I don't know enough about anything to know if it would work without doing it myself and I'm not brave enough to try it yet.

Yeah, that is the way I was talking about in OP. It doesn't work in 4.2 either, so after update (however far that may be) it will be pointless to set my phone up this way/will just have to find a new way.
It sucks, from browsing around it looks like there really isn't a way.
After I posted my original link I found mentions of two other apps, the last one I already mentioned but it was commented that the first two may be alternatives as well. Its worth a read.

Not that we will get it for awhile, but isn't link2sd incompatible with 4.2?
That would suck, but it sounds like it works with 4.1.1 and hopefully 4.1.2. My GN2 is on Verizon so I somehow think we would be luck to see 4.2 a year from now.

This is initially why I strayed away from this app. I guess I have no choice now. ~10gb is way to small for all the apps I like to have on my device.
I agree, I will be d/l this app and using it on mine. I will worry about the 4.2 compatibility issue when its time to cross that bridge (if it ever comes to it). I want all my games and stuff and 10GB is a joke today. Honestly I don't know how Nexus 4 users can get by with 8GB on a phone once formatted and OS loaded what do they have left 4-5GB, ouch.
What about Titanium Backup?
Doesn't TB have this option?
I have not tried it yet, but this is one of the reasons I was considering paying for a full license...
Titanium will not work on this device. I changed the Restore location to External and it just hung up while trying to restore a simple app.

I followed the above while on S3 and worked really well. Perhaps a Dev can modify it to work with GN2.
I bought Titanium and tried to move to SD ... my phone made a noise and vibrated, but no files were moved. Well at least I have the pro version now lol.

Post 3 had the above link. So I downloaded. Now, I'm running Beans ROM, FYI. First thing, make sure Busybox is installed. I installed from Market and did Normal Install within Busybox.
The Apps2SD script was initially saved in Download. I moved it to /System/etc/init.d folder, using Root Explorer.
Install SManager as stated in link.
Browse as Root
Went to System/etc/init.d folder. Select the Apps2Sd file and click on SU & Boot...click on Save. Reboot.
That should do it. Went to Titanium and it shows my 64GB as my internal storage. Installed Dark Knight Rises and it's going to my microSD card.
titanium backup
Titanium backup does it save your apps to sd card, I had 33 and clicked move and it shows them on sd card now, unless its just sayin and really didnt move them, theres a app that showed them moved, but from what I see they are moved
I found another app mentioned on the forums here, from what I have read it seems to work with JB 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 but will NOT work with JB 4.2 so we have something to use while we can. Links2SD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en I have not had a chance to test it yet, but others have said it works.

I've tried it. I think people may have been mislead into thinking it works. I have partitioned my card as Fat32/ext and both are primary. I chose my ext partition and it mounts. It shows that it is there, HOWEVER, when I create a link (tried it on all my apps) it says that the link has been created/files have been moved, however, when I go back into the storage info, the device shows the same amount of GB/MB on the internal and external.
Can anyone confirm that the files are actually moved, or is this just like app2sd?
And as far as that App2SD script goes, it is nice, but I don't like tricking the system to thinking ext is int. It seems like there would be some issues with this.

That may be it, her battery was very low. Thanks for the info.
I'd suggest upgrading to CM10 next time you have her NT for a couple of days. CM7 for the NT got superseded by CM9 and CM10 well before its development got mature enough, its Android base (Gingerbread) is also ~2-year old and many new apps would not be backward compatible with it.
The easiest/quickest way to get on CM10 is to run it off an SDcard using a pre-made image from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/. You can buy a 8GB class 4 microSD (Sandisk is best) for about $6 on ebay, burn the CM10 image and just mail it to your daughter to put it in and boot it up.
If you want to build the CM10 SDcard from scratch (for more customization) you can use the process described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35786747&postcount=1, but you'll need to use the NT to "build" the card.
Just an FYI stock nook untouched freaks out with low battery as well. It isn't ROM related.

1st thing i thought it was a known issue that gingerbread doesnt work well with NT's. and that there were always huge bugs when it is installed.
2nd thing u shud def update to newer cm10.2 stable with bexus-n kernel. works well even without kernel.just runs faster and saves more energy and charges faster.
3rd u should ALWAYS wipe data first especially if ur installing different android versions (exp: gingerbread to jellybean and such). even going from stock nook to a rom u shud wipe.....chance of leaving residual data from past rom might brick it or mess up the internal partitions. then ur in for a long drawn out recovery process. good luck :good:

Any clues on how to get FolderMount app to work from a Rom / slot ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...evasque.fmount
It seems the source path is wrong as compared to running it from the stock ROM where it finds the given folders/apps.
the source path shows: /storage/emulated/0
Normally this would populate with the given apps/folders desired to select but not working (as in listing anything) when trying from a ROM/slot and I have no clue what the path structure is via booted in a ROM slot in safestrap.

Yea me to, lol, and I've been having a hard time figuring out where to best report/post about this issue to get a response or possible solution. I brought it up once in the "Safestrap" thread in [General] but got no replies. Then later on in that thread, another user was mentioning the use of FolderMount as his solution to free up internal card memory to another Safestrap user so I replied to that posing my question again, however, got no response as to the answer. I know it's a source (path) issue but can't figure it out when booted into a ROM slot.
Thanks for replying though because I myself was starting to think I was losing my mind. :cyclops:

Hello all, I am looking for a little advice. I'll give as much backstory as possible:
I used the cyanogenmod one click installer, everything went well. Since the one click installer put twrp on I went and put clockworkmod on since im more familure with it. Everything fine restarted and phone worked however after I installed (attempted to install facebook messeger) the device rebooted and would not come back on. Sat for 5 mins vibrating over and over and over. Its not completely dead I am able to get to recovery and to download mode and believe I just had a bad download/install. Since i have Clockworkmod on here, I am thinking I could just install the most up to date stable rom available but I have a question:
How do I put the rom zip files on phone if phone wont come on.
Any advice towards this would be appreciated.
First off, where did you find a cyanogenmod one click installer? Possibly that was not meant for the I717.
Don't you have an external micro sd card? Place the card in your computer and copy the ROM zip to it. Put it back in your phone and use it to flash.

Sure thank you for the reply, from beta . download . cyanogenmod . org /install apparently it detects your phones version and does everything for you really, no option to pick your model/version # it auto detects. sorry for spaces it wouldnt let me post link complete.
And I did not know I could put the zips on external SD I had though only internal SD is option for where to put roms
