[Q] Possible to make bootable SD Card for ThinkPad Tablet? - General Questions and Answers

I have a 16GB WiFi Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet, which is rooted and I've installed CWM. I'd really like to try out the ICS CM9 port but I need to keep the tablet useable for school. I've sucessfully set up a bootable SD card with CM7 for my friends Nook Color, and I was wondering if it's possible to do the same for my ThinkPad Tablet. I use Boot Manager on my Galaxy Nexus, but it isn't compatible with the tablet. I have made a nandroid, but I'm hesitant to mess with the device itself without the ability to return it to stock, as I have had to do twice already with my Nexus.
I appologize if this has been asked before, but I was surprisingly unable to find any information about booting from an SD card excluding that about the Nook devices.
Thank you very much for any information.

[Q] Need help with sd card not mounting

Hi. I want to thank all of the developers for making my xoom still relevant and much better.
I do however need some serious help, as my xoom is pretty much useless at the moment. Yesterday, I flashed the alpha version of 4.2 from the xoom android development section on my everest xoom 3g. Since then, I have not been able to mount sd card. It appears on my laptop and in storage on the device.
I have flashed 3 different recvoeries in the hopes that one would mount my sd car, but all have failed. I just need to be to mount the sd card in order to flash a new rom.
I am not sure what the problem is.
I really hope someone can help me.

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy Prevail 2 Help

I'm in need of a custom ROM for this phone, and I can't find one anywhere, and I'm not sure where to post this. I can't find any ROM that actually has this phone listed as a supported device. It has a single core 1.4GHz processor, 829MBs of RAM, 1.96GBs of internal storage and I have a 8GB SD card installed. I cannot install any apps onto the SD card no matter what I do, and this is my ultimate goal. I'd like to play Real Racing 3 but there's no way I can as I don't have enough internal storage, but I do have enough on the SD card. Every App2SD app I've used won't allow me to move them over, unless I format the card, which I haven't as I have personal data I need on it. I'm not sure if it would even work if I tried, but I will later this evening. I just wanted to know if there were any ROMs that could run on the phone, even if they weren't made for the phone. Any and all help is appreciated. It currently runs on the stock Android 4.1.2 Jellybean with Samsung's TouchWiz UI.

As to the SD card, you can back the data on a PC then format the card.

My tablet wont use sd card (Please Help!)

Hi everyone
I bought a lg g pad 7.0 a few days ago and have been facing an issue. My last tablet was a rooted nook tablet running 4.2.2 my new tablet is one 4.4.2 and ive heard it has something to do with the multiple user ability they added. anyway i only have 5 gb of internal storage and a empty 32gb sd card, for some reason there is an emulated sd card called storage/sdcard0
and my actual sd card is storage/ext-sd. i need to find out if there is a way to change default app install location or if i can delete the emulated partition and use it like jellybean.
btw i rooted using purple drake and it works just fine(except for the sd card)
Id appreciate any advice or help as this is very frustrating

Can you run Custom OS through SD card

Hey guys, I'm new to modding the Galaxy S III, but have had some experience loading custom roms onto the Nook HD+. I was curious if it is possible to run a modded OS such as CM from an SD card to test it out before flashing the actual phone hard drive like many people do with the Nook. Just thought it would be nice to test out Roms on a SD card that can easily be removed and load back into stock before permanently removing stock. Thanks for your help.

I also use to run CM on my nook color via the SD card. I'm unsure if its possible but would be an interesting option if it was
Sent from my Nexus 5
I believe I read something that said if it cannot load from the emmc it will try from the sdcard slot.
