This ROM is built from Cyanogen's github repositories with some additional features added by myself.
More specifically, the primary goal of this build is to test a new method for doing Apps2SD that is a bit more friendly. You can read the brainstorming thread for this process here.
The implementation is working, and there are known issues with it. I expect to make regular releases as I perfect the code. As of right now, this should be considered an alpha.
All source code is available on GitHub.
ADDITIONAL "SNACKS":
- Apps2SD w/ enable&disable setting in native Settings application.
- SD EXT partition mounted at /sd-ext
INTRUCTIONS:
You will need an ext partition on your SD card for this to work. Wipe first, flash the update, and optionally flash the Google Addon (see below). The included kernel supports ext2/ext3/ext4.

CHANGELOG:
Version 0.2.1
- Bootloop fix.
Version 0.2
- Removed prompt for install location, too buggy right now.
- Added Enable/Disable setting in "Settings->Applications". Enable this to install new applications to SD, disable to install to Internal. Does not require a reboot.

- Applications installed on SD are now also dexopted on SD.
- Full orientation hacks by optedoblivion.
- Custom "sexy nexus" LWP theme. Enable by going to the "Settings" option in the Nexus LWP.
- Anything included in CM5.0.4.1 is also in this version of SnackPack.
Version 0.1
- Initial Release
THANKS:
- Cyanogen for his feedback and for letting me bounce ideas off him.
- Wysie for sparking the brainstorming on this A2SD idea.
- Kmobs
- Optedoblivion
- And anybody else that has given me ideas and contributed to these mods.
Booting it up now.
nice! im going to have to keep an eye on this one...
sure why the hell not, anything built from cyanogen source has gotta be good and a new toy to play with too? sweet, downloading now, BTW can I flash my oc-uv kernel and have this still work?

that won't happen as there are too many framework changes going on
so this means each time Cyanogen updates his rom you will be updating this to match? Or once this is stable cyanogen will include it in his rom?
this is awesome- and why i bought a nexus- the development of android is flying along with this device- Google must be very happy with how all this is going...
Bug list as I can see now:
1. Installed apps from market with prompt fine.
2. Hangs up when trying to install apps from sd. (yes I have pirated apps, sue me)
3. Installed AndExplorer and Metamorph both from market, (both to sd) when starting Metamorph, it says it needs AndExplorer. Reinstalled AE and it picked it up.
4. Rebooted after morphing, and then everything I had just installed was gone.

From talks with cyanogen, theres a chance he will include it once it becomes stable (he has even hinted towards lending a hand in the development). To answer your first question, when Cyanogen updates his stuff those changes will be pulled in to this ROM as well.
ok installed linpack to sd and the scores suck, I asssume this has to do with the sd card speed, also to open linpack I had to go to market, I couldnt see it in my menu. infact no apps I chose to install to sd showed up. If I go to market and select them they say installed and I can choose to open them but without going thru this process I cant access them.
NO SH-T! THis is awesome work man!...kudos!
amazing work chris... kudos... using your snackpack for a couple of hrs now... loving it!!!! gonna try to install a hell of a lot of apps and test it out as much as I can... but so far, it's been behaving amazingly...

Ok, so I ussed this for a while last night and mostly it seems good, I went to my standard Cyanogen Rom, have 3 back ups, one desire, this and my Main CM5. when I tried to restore the back of this ROM it failed. My other back ups work fine. I have a Nan+ext back up of everything. I will try to reproduce it this afternoon after class.

Yes it does.
I have 224 programs installed and I have only used 12Mb of internal memory.
CM does support Apps2sd.
CM supports apps2sd but you have to initialize it yourself. You have to set up the partitions and then you have to set it up.
I'm already have old AP2SD on CM ROM, can we install only the new AP2SD on the existing CM ROM?
This is great. I am loving it.
Bump for 0.2
Now that CM10 has been released for the NT I have started up a proper support thread. Pleas keep it as back reports and help.

I would like to run CM10 from an sdcatd. I get lost following the directions iamafanof has on his blog. Does anyone have something clearer?
I just want to boot 10 from sd ,like CM 7 was.
Thanks.
Bill
Just use the same directions used in succulent's (iamafanof) directions on how to boot CM7/CM9 from sdcard. The only thing different is to use his CM10 boot from sdcard zip.
CM10 Install Assist?
UPDATED NEAR END - I am with you miniblue... I have been running an SD version of CM7 for sometime now and absolutely love it. However, would like to upgrade to CM10 and tried using imafanof's SD boot install but somehow I messed it up so now I am running some sort of hybrid of the Nook (still has original apps installed) and CM10. So now I have the nice polished look with none of the functionality.
If someone can help me with some tips as to how to flash and start fresh with a fresh install of CM10 I would be very grateful. Now I have a nook that boots up with cyanboot bootloader but loads a hybrid of CM10 and the nook truncated Android. Now I have the Nook purchased apps (don't care to have) and no ability to do much with the Jelly Bean other than having the nice polished look.
According to the Nook, I am running Android version 4.1.1, Kernel version 3.0.31+ ([email protected] #1), Cyanmod version 10-20120903-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim. Also - My Nook seems to now think it is a 8GB nook instead of the 16GB Nook that it really is. I have the new look but all the B&N apps and no functionality beyond that to speak of. Cannot change themes, etc.
So, I made a good bootable SD card to load emmc CM10. Installed it but still have the weird hybrid version of the Nook software on it. Do I need to format the emmc or something first? I followed the instructions as indicated by chrmhoffmann on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773362 - where it says this method will overwrite everything. What am I missing?
update: so I was able to use a CWM bootable SD and formatted emmc, user data, etc. Looks like CM10 is running exclusively. Trouble is, as can be expected, it is unstable and so it goes to black screen a lot, particularly when surfing/on wifi. May have to try CM9 for awhile until 10 gets to a bit better performance.

Not sure what to tell you but I used the SGT7 Jelly Bean ROM and I am not having that issue and the ROM is working great for me on emmc. Still getting some black outs on occasion but not too big of a deal.

Yes. It works fine. As everyone is aware, there are some Black Screen Of Death (BSOD) issues and a few random reboots but not to the point of a MAJOR issue.
I have posted my simple guide to installing the SGT7 (Meghd00t) ROM on my website here: http://raywaldo.com/2012/09/root-for-nook-tablet-1-4-3/ - includes video and my process worked to root & install on a stock Nook Tablet (8GB) running B&N v.1.4.3.

This is awesome. I'd been thinking about doing a full restore - re-root - install w/ CM10, and it's nice to have a method to follow.
BTW - Ray, (or anybody) have you heard of anyone having problems getting their PCs to recognize their Nooks as USB drives on CM10? It's seems like after a time my PC first stops recognizing the external SD (shows a mounted drive icon but shows no information or says 'please insert an SD card") . . . then eventually stops recognizing the internal "My Nook" drive as well. At one point I did a complete USB driver uninstall-reinstall using USBdeview, and it fixed the problem but only for a day. And it did not work the second time.
I know this is NT related because it happens on any PC I use. The problem is not present when using CM7.
Ideas?
I love sgt7! Can you thank too many times on xda?
I am new here though and I have a few questions. Has anyone been able to reproduce the sleep of death bug ? Or is it completely random? I have done some minimal Linux and android development and I would love to help with improving jelly on nt. I actually have two nook tab 16s. One is running sgt7 9.13 the other 9.14. I know I haven't searched as much as I could have just yet but I wanted to see if anyone would recommend some things I could do for the devs. Can we get a trace from adb when the bug occurs or do we lose the connection immediately before? Do we know where in the libs or kernel the bug may be lurking?

Not sure which CM10 you have. I am running the SGT7/Meghd00t and it works fine for me.
One thing that you probably already know.. When you connect, Windows will beep but may not display the file manager window.
If you have USB Debugging enabled, then you have to switch to mass storage mode. In the notifications area, you will have a little USB symbol. Click on it and follow the prompts to enable the Mass Storage mode.
Another note. I have Win7/64bit so it may be relative to that. But sometimes SDCard readers, etc have trouble with my USB 3.0 ports and I have to use them on the 2.0 port instead.
Thanks Ray!
Ray, just wanted to give you props for your tutorials. They are very thorough and explain things in great detail for those who are new but want to benefit from the greatness of ROMs and rooting.

I have been using cm10 for a while and LOVE it. However, the battery life is so terrible that it's unusable at the moment. I want to install cm7 instead until the battery life improves for this rom, but when trying to install it, it doesn't actually work (cm10 still boots up). Is there a specific process I need to follow to achieve this? Thanks.

Provide more details. Does it go through the install process? Any errors? Does the cm7 install appear to complete too quickly? Are you using twrp or cwm? Have you wiped cache and data then tried installing 7?

Sorry for the lack of details. I'm using TWRP, trying to install the CM7 beta. I have wiped cache and data before flashing, as I always do. But yeah, the install seemed to complete suspiciously quickly, like 5 or 10 seconds. It does say that it completes successfully, however, with no errors.

I've had similar issues and I found in another thread that powering off and powering on the device enables Deep Sleep which helps immensely with battery life. The key seems to be remembering to do this after a SOD.
You have to do a complete power off/power on cycle, rebooting doesn't seem to work.

Hello guys..
I am an ATnT Samsung galaxy S2 i777 user. Some may be aware that the logcat files generated by Samsung at times causes issues by exhausting the memory reserved for the apps. My phone was plagued by the issue and i wasnt aware of the exact problem.
As a result, i kept moving apps/data to the external mem card as much as possible to keep the phone cured of the 'device memory low' warning sign. I was away from the scene due to hectic schedule and as there wasnt any big need to install new apps/features either, i wasnt bothered too much.
Finally one day the phone rebooted while i was asleep, and i woke up to find that much of the customization was gone. No Gapps, No Apex launcher, No Amazon app store, many apps (incl Titanium backup) missing.
Forced to google, found out the *#9900# trick and wiped off the excess logcat files. The memory status got straightened out, but the phone wont restore to the earlier state even after reboots.
I was running Shostock ROM, and it was about time i moved to either Kitkat or even Lollipop based ROMS. And this is what i plan to do now that i have the perfect excuse. Before i pulled the trigger, i wanted to clarify some points out so pls do lend me a helping hand here.
Have chosen Carbon ROM as my next. (Geekynimrod and rogsersb11 been superb with the work)
1) I have moved a lot of apps/data to the mem card. Once i have flashed the new ROM, will this data interfere with the new setup?
2) I would ofc need to empty the mem card of the data which i dont require. How to clean up the moved app/data if they are of no use?

I would recommend checking this thread out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-partition-i777-phone-data-storage-t2839161
This procedure made all the difference for me.
I would also recommend choosing the 4.4.4 OmniRom. Normally I don't favor any Rom over the others in comments out of respect however, OmniRom is still being updated almost daily. It's the only 4.4.4 still in active development. I've tried many of the others and have settled on OmniRom for the past couple of weeks:

There is a lot of quality work still available here. It's been a lot of fun reading these threads.

Thanks a lot for the tip mate. I will def check the thread out.
Carbon ROM has been very impressive, and i wanted to try that out .. hence the inclination. But i guess i can always try both
Once i brush the basics off again, i ll be more comfortable getting the flashing done without too much apprehension. Thanks again. :good:
Hi,
I am an owner of one Moto E XT1021 first gen phone. Right now it has Android Kitkat 4.4.4 on it.
This morning warned me of system update available to Android Lollipop 5.1. (and this in Romania).
I know many of other people like to update to the new OS. But I doubt in Moto E first gen is good this. And previously read on different articles about the main problem with the storage for this Moto E fist gen because of the 4GB available on main storage.
I open this thread because I didn't found some other thread treating only this subject (pros and cons about Lollipop update on Moto E firstgen).
I wait for opinions especially from those already making the update and if there is a good life or bad life after the update.
What are the pros for updating, what is working and what is maybe wonderful ... and what are the cons, what is not working and maybe even blocking and annoying about Lollipop on Moto E firstgen?
Thanks.
Well... I had just over 500MB of internal storage free. Went ahead with the update. After restarting, the internal storage was full. So I've performed a factory reset and it's downloading updates to the stock apps... 277MB left after that! Cleared caches... 520MB left... That's with no apps installed other than the stock stuff, updated. Forget Facebook etc...
I wouldn't recommend it at all! Updated it today and it's terrible. You just don't have any free space at all, not even able to update apps... Only have WhatsApp on it, and still it whines about out of space when trying to update an app....
It's ridiculous actually, that they release an update like this
Im on this situation also. What can we do now? Root and install a custom rom?
Thanks for your responses.
What I supposed seems to be confirmed. The main memory storage problem... .
But... is there a Pro reason for updating that maybe is worth the annoying continuously warning about 'out of space'? ...or not?
RevengeFNF I think you responded to yourself.

Do not update. Updating from KitKat to lollipop via official ota is gonna make the phone suck a hell lot. You'll be out of memory as lollipop has the $hitty ART runtime which will eat up all your storage space as the dalvik cache is gonna be huge. Only update if you plan to root and have a huge sd card. Or simply unlock bootloader (I think you're out of warranty now so no worries) and flash cyanogenmod 12.1. It's the most fluid lollipop rom out there right now.

So there is also a possibility to update and after ... to root.
Because actually I have a 32GB sd card on it.
What would be the next steps to do after the root in order not to have so big problems with storage, even if is this lollipop eating so much with his runtime and cache... ?
Because sometimes I prefer the OS developed by the producer, in therms of stability etc, etc...

Update first. Then upon unlocking bootloader, your phone will factory reset. After that you can root it simply by flashing supersu zip. Then you can use link2sd to link your apps to sd card 2nd partition. There are many guides on xda for that purpose. I too have stock right now and I have loads of free space on internal as all my 250 apps are linked to sdcard.
PS. You need link2sd plus to be able to fully link your apps to sd card. It's very cheap, less than $2.

Has anyone really managed to root 1021 on 5.1 stock?
I had it already unlocked,
I can't boot TWRP recovery or even flash it.
Tried also CWM recovery from here around, same thing.
Any infos please?
after many tries and ways I managed to push TWRP recovery and supesu.
The way varies a bit from the usual.
Turn off phone manually,
execute:
fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-2.8.1.0-condor.img
or whatever you name the recovery image.
Let it waiting
Insert usb cable
boot into bootloader menu manually, volume down and power
Then the comand executes
Shows the usual Mismatched partition size, its ok for custom recovery
Now select Recovery mode manually with buttons
after a while, I think little less than a minute, finally TWRP recovery starts, yolo follows etc..
guess you know the way to install SuperSU then
I booted, installed link2sd, rebooted., linked my apps etc normally works till now
:good:
Wanted to just boot recovery.img but then I decided that probably 5.1 is the last update and got me down on it.
Try with boot recovery and please comment if so
Since Android 6.0, we have the option to adopt microSD storage as internal storage, the so called Adoptable Storage. It gives you the benefit of being able to install apps on it natively.
Many OEMs have disabled the functionality in their firmware builds, including Sony.
It seems that their disabling has not actually removed the functionality from Android, but just hidden the controls to it. Recently, several attempts to restore the functionality have been made successfully. I just came across one done by MoDaCo on the Samsung Galaxy S7.
Can someone o the Z4 Tablet MM firmware try this out? It seems to be pretty easy and done using ADB. Might be interesting for some.
If no one else has I might give it a try later I don't really need it but just for research reasons really. I have a lot of apps but I really don't need the extra internal

it gets a bit weird... but I like the convenience
I have enabled it on my Marshmallow (CM13) SAMSUNG Galaxy S5.
I find it quite useful when dealing with my space eaters like OSMand and my mp3-collection and especially seafile.
I could not get the latter to store its downloaded contents on my 64GBytes card. Now I do not care anymore.
BUT:
There is some behind the scenes magic going on.
TWRP 3.0 sees the filesystem quite differently than you will see it under Marshmallow even with a root enabled file manager. Maybe it needs an update for these merged partitions.
example:
DL a new nightly with cmupdater and tell it to update the ROM -> TWRP boots and does not find the nightly.zip.
No big deal you think, just open the file manager of TWRP and find/move the file from /sdcard/cmupdater
surprise: /sdcard/... is not accessible or it does not contain the files you have just seen under Marshmallow.
My workaround: move the nightly.zip with a filemanager to /data, then boot into TWRP and install from /data
Was dissapointed to see that it was disabled, seeing as i have a 128 gb micro sd card installed I'm not qualified to fix this at all, but i hope there are some legends out there that can

One of those being @AndroPlus He just released an update to his Xposed module SystemUI Patcher for Lollipop (that could use a name-change) adding support for it:

Nice! I'm not sure i am all for rooting the device though, but it is nice to know that there are solutions.
Just tried on my z4 tablet and works fine. I had to however force adoptable for it to work. using 32GB with ration of 30%. Just finished migrating and everything seems fine.
