I've created partitions, and then ran the Clone tool. Bootmenu installs but once I reboot it hangs. I can't move around the menu nor can I select the item it is already on. This is on an n810 flashed to 43-7.
Thoughts?
And what's the Home key?

Please note these instructions are based on an N810.
By default the map program locates it's data files in "/media/mmc2/map".
On a standard device setup, the "mmcX" folders are used for memory cards in your device (whether built in, or external). When you partition your system using pbeasy, the /media/mmc2 folder actually becomes a pretend memory card, which is the FAT partition you created.
So you probably made a relatively small FAT partition, and there's not enough room in "/media/mmc2" to hold your "map" folder.
Well it turns out the Wayfinder program will be happy to find the "map" folder in any "mmcX" series folder (i.e. "mmc1", "mmc3", "mmc4", etc.). Sadly, most other software that uses /media/mmc2 doesn't have this feature, so kudos to Wayfinder. Essentially all you have to do is move the "map" folder to whichever memory card you have enough room on. For example, if you just ran the map program for the first time and had troubles downloading maps, you'd close the program, run X-Term, and enter a command like this:
Note, if you are moving files from a linux partition to a FAT partition, you may get a bunch of "cannot preserve ownership" errors, that's OK you can ignore them.
Also if you can't run sudo commands, try installing the "sudser" program.
Q: But I don't want to put it on an external memory card, I want it on my main drive (the cloned partition). How do I put it there?
A: Easy, just make a "pretend" memory card. For example, if the folders "mmc1" and "mmc2" already exist, you would create a "mmc3" folder and move the data there, as follows:
A: If you reflashed your device with a different firmware version than you had before, you may now be running a different version of the Wayfinder sofware. Unfortunately to "upgrade" your map folder data files to the newer version, it seems the Wayfinder software insists that the files be located in "/media/mmc2/map". Go figure.
Assuming you have enough room on your cloned partition for the map folder, essentially what you need to do is temporarily unmount the FAT partition from /media/mmc2, move the map folder into /media/mmc2, run the map program so that it will upgrade the data files, move the map folder back to wherever you had it before, restart your device, and you're good to go.
Here's step-by-step instructions for that. Let's assume you currently have your map data in "/media/mmc3/map", you tried to run Wayfinder, and it doesn't recognize it. Close the map program, run X-Term and enter the following, except replace "mmc3" with whatever folder you currently have your "map" folder in, (careful DON'T change any "mmc2" references, only the "mmc3" ones!)
Now run the map program. Answer any prompts that appear. Once the software is running, you should have your maps, favorites, etc. Now shutdown the map program, and do this from X-Term:
