Making a duplicate of a fully functional CM7 image
Hello,
I would like to clone a microSD with a customized CM7 I have built and is in a fully functional state. The reason for this is I plan to buy additional Nooks for family members. And rather than go through all the steps again including post installation configuration and installation of preferred apps I would simply like to place a clone of that on additional cards. At work some of the guys use Norton Ghost to create mirror images of hard drives. Is there something similar for SD cards and Android based systems? If so what would be the most efficient and effective cloning route? Open source or lower cost tools are of course preferred. I used the free open source Win 32 Disk Imager utility to install the inital image. But it is designed primarily for writing images to an SD card, not creating them. Thanks, Derek Last edited by dereksurfs; 03-25-2012 at 05:12 PM. |

If you are running CM7 off the SD card, I can't talk for Windows, but on Linux you would use the dd tool from the shell. |

Simple task if you are going to run from an SD card. Simply pop card in a USB reader and using Win32diskimager simply use read and copy the image to your hard drive. Then use write to put it on each SD card. It will make an identical copy.
Whether it will run when you place the card and boot in a new Nook is something I haven't tried but it should be fine. I use this method to back up mine to different SD cards when I want to try out a different ROM. |
