Thanks for the suggestion. I just downloaded and installed verygreen's latest update and it is acting the same and didn't want to do a reinstall, so I decided to go back to your stock root installations (I downloaded the latest rev 1 versions), just so I won't have to deal with the wifi connection issues. I am still very impressed by your work especially this second time around and has found workarounds along the way like using 1mobile for the apps that either don't show up on google play for some reason (like maxthon browser) or the ones that say the device isn't supported (like google maps). Thanks for all the work you've done on this and being so helpful in the two threads you've come up with to help all of us.

Google play and gtalk

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this question so please for give me. My son has 8gb HD and we have rooted the HD per instructions found here...all is working but when we set up his google play we set it up with my gmail acct and then after the fact we created my son a gmail account. Now I can't seem to get his gmail act to be the one that google play defaults to. Also, we accidentally deleted the "talk" from the android platform and I can't be that back. I've done some reading and they say I would need to reset the HD back to factory settings to set google play with his email and "talk" with his email. Hope I'm making sense. Please advise. Thanks!

You can do it easier than that. Go to settings, applications, my apps, and find Google account manager. Open that and clear data. Then the next time you go to Play Store, you have to reregister, so use his account this time. To get talk back you may may to flash the gapps+extras again. No need to reset the device.

That should have worked. Go there again and force stop it before you clear the data. Then reboot before you try to use Play Store again.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Re: [USER Tips] Nook HD/HD+ Stock Root User Tips from LeapinLar

Look to see if the app requires root access. If it does and you don't know why, stay clear of it, or find out why. There are not many that do want to modify /system, most want root access to modify /data and the settings that are stored there. Some of the notorious offenders, busybox installer, ad cancelling apps like AdFree and AdAway, Secure Settings Helper.

Yes, AdAway has an option to use /data in settings instead of /system. Just go to preferences and select that option. It works and does not reset the device.

Nook HD+ w/ CWM will not boot with SDCARD present HELP!!

I was able to resolve the problem, it was the hardware slot that was messing up. My new problem now is whenever the SDCARD is in the slot the nook will not boot or even respond. once the card is removed it boots no problem. I'm wondering if it was extending the partition or if this is a firmware block. Can I copy the stock backup to my compter (folder and contents) then reformat the card to test if it's the card or somethign else ?

EDIT## figured it out when I resized the partition for some reason a small first partition was created. fixed it and all seems to work

hi, i just made my 8g cwm sd card and didn't download any of the .zips....it kept sayin "Remove the write-protection or use another disk", how can i fix this, please help
[Nook HD, HD+ General] dbh369:
Lets hope you are talking about a micro sd card, since that is what fits in a nook. These are usually used in adapters that make them look/act like regular SD cards. There is a small tab along one side of the adapter. you can slide this towards the connector end of the adapter to 'unlock' it and then it will be read/write. While 'locked' it is read only.

Re: [USER Tips] Nook HD/HD+ Stock Root User Tips from LeapinLar

It says this when you tell win32diskimager to write? Can you use your windows explorer to copy files to it? Or are you saying that it writes to the card but it won't let you put files on it?

You probably got updated to 2.0.6 which causes you to lose root. Just reflash Universal Root.

Help with restoring issues......

Hi, a couple of weeks ago my HD was updated to 2.0.6 and last night I must have done something that triggered a reset. I stopped the reset and thought I could go back to one of my previous nandroids; however, I have tried 5 of them and all of them abort with a message: Error restoring /data.....

I will appreciate your help.

NOOK status bar

I am currently using GAPPS (non root) - is it possible to get rid of the NOOK status bar at the bottom of the screen so that I can see standard android back, home and recent app icons at bottom left..?

(Also am in the UK using 2.0.6 - works fine)

They appear to be there under the standard NOOK back bar - as when it is not on screen most apps display the three dots - but as soon as you touch one up pops the NOOK bar.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Tigrisan:
Unfortunately, that bar is part of the Nook system and is always there. I've not seen anyone who has been able to program it off the screen yet.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] datas0ft:
For this you must use another launcher (nova, zeam, apex etc) and if i remember right you must be rooted too.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] LucaToo:
I am using Nova Launcher - still there. May try rooting but not sure based on previous reply that will make any difference.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Tigrisan:
I use GoLauncher and it's still there. Never goes away. I also tried ADW (which I'm not as fond of) and Zeam with the same results. Also, I see Leapinlar answer this time and again that it's inherent to the Nook system and doesn't go away, but I'm open if it's been corrected! :D
[Nook HD, HD+ General] datas0ft:
Actually i'm on Nova too, but i dont see ever some things at stock launcher (standard NOOK back bar). I try investigate some things tomorrow and give reply.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] LucaToo:
This is the one thing that makes me keep going back to N2A card. It just looks and feels wrong to have that white bar at the bottom of the screen and not be able to access back buttons etc
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Tigrisan:
I still see the back button. I use it all the time. I don't have my Nook here because I'm at work, but the back arrow is there on the bottom left side. The N takes me to GoLauncher's home page and there's the Anycut widget for the Nook OS on that screen as well.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] LucaToo:
Yes - the Nook back button is there - not the standard Android back, home and recent apps buttons.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, it is always there as part of the stock system. But you can get third party apps like full!screen that allow you to manage it.

And my gapps does work fine on the UK 2.0.6, it is the ROMs and white on white that sometimes gives issues.

I just posted to the development forum my Hybrid SD setup for the HD+ adapted from bokbokans HD version. I allows dual booting between stock on internal memory and CM on SD. And it puts /data on internal memory so it runs faster and does not seem to suffer from the reboot issues the old scheme did. I even have it running on my old PNY 8GB SD that I could not get to work even on my Nook Color running CM7.2.

A couple of Quirks after 2.0.6 update and CWM update to Rev. 2

After I updated to 2.0.6 and subsequent updating of CWM to Rev 2 (2-03-13), I see a couple of quirks.

1. When my Nook HD+ awakes, sometimes, it gives me an error message that says " Unable to install - This application was not able to install onto your device. Please remove some items from your Library and then download the application to try again". I have no idea what this application is.

2. Frequently when I press the "n" button to get back to the home screen, a couple of widgets do not seem to come up - one is Circle Battery Widget and the other is a Weather Widget called Moxier World. If I go away from home and come back again, they seem to load.

3. Sometimes when I turn the power on and also on rebooting, some of the widgets come on only with placeholders and tell me to "tap to restore widget". This has not happened before, except when I was "restoring" apps and data from from CWM.

4. Lastly, the auto sleep/wake function on my Poetic Hardbook case does not seem to work. I am getting the case replaced thinking that it is a "case malfunction", but it is possible that auto sleep/wake is affected by 2.0.6 update.

But none of these are even at the level of annoyances. Any thoughts/comments are helpful and appreciated.

Incidentally I am extremely happy with CWM mods and thank Leapinlar not only for his mods, but also his helpful disposition.

Best Regards,

RaliR
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I am not sure what item 1 is, but B&N is always trying to install new apps for you, whether you want them or not. I'm not sure why it fails.

Items 2 and 3 are a function of the launcher you are using. (It could be 2.0.6 too). If it is zeam that is doing that, try another launcher from Play Store.

Leapinlar,

I have been using Nova Launcher all this time since I got the Nook HD+ in November and started playing with Someone0's early mods through your CWMs. Until the 2.0.6 upgrade, I had not had any slow loading widgets or any need to restore widgets during simple on/off, But on the other hand, almost all this time, I did not have to manually turn the tablet on/off, the auto sleep/wake function taking care of it. But only since the 2.0.6 upgrade, do I have to manually turn it on/off using the power button. I do not know if the manual power button does anything differently from the auto sleep/wake function. What I mean is, is it possible that waking from sleep is a different action from turning on/off? Just curious.

Best Regards,

RaliR
[Nook HD, HD+ General] datas0ft:
When i read that you use Nova then you before described 2 and 3 depends at launcher. I seen this on my galaxy phone and galaxy tab too (first is tsf shell, second on nova). And deal is with UCCW widget. Same with battery widget which one you mentioned.

Not sure I'm in the correct thread for this but...

Having a storage issue on Nook HD with 2.0.6. I did have the unit setup with bokbokan's hybrid CM10.1. It was working fine. I also performed leapinlar's sdcard swap NookHD-stock-fix-vold-for-dual-boot-hybrid-swapped.zip. I thought I had swapped it back but now I’m not sure. Anyway, later I needed to do a factory reset of the Nook HD. Now I have a settings/storage problem.

When I boot to stock Nook HD everything is fine until I try to go into "Storage Management" under Settings. I get "Unfortunately settings has stopped." If I try to connect the stock Nook HD interface to my pc via usb I get "Unfortunately the process

android.process.media

has stopped."

1. I've tried reversing the sdcard swap using leapinlar's zips: “NookHD-stock-return-vold-to-stock-settings” and tried “NookHD-HDplus-remove-SDSwap”.

2. I've done both a normal factory reset via Erase & Deregister and a CWM wipe and factory reset.

No change.

hmmm... I just tried to boot CM10.1 and now it won't work either. I can still boot to recovery though, and boot into stock B&N (but have settings issues mentioned above).

Any ideas? Have I somehow "bricked" my device?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
When you say you did a Factory Reset, how did you do it? With the updated stock CWM modified for Hybrid (rev3)? If not, that is why Hybrid is not working, you wiped out the SD files with that factory reset.

And if you did not reflash everything on stock that you had flashed earlier, it will be messed up. That is because the /system changes are still there since they are not wiped with a factory reset and the /data changes to match are not there.

So to get back to normal, get the CWM modified for Hybrid (rev3) and do another factory reset with it. Then flash all the zips you had flashed before. Stock should be ok then.

To get your hybrid working again, you need to start over with the SD so it sets up the data files you wiped out earlier. Then reinstall the ROM and gapps for hybrid.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jck_p:
I originally did the Factory Reset from the stock B&N boot: Settings>Device Information>Deregistration>Erase & Deregister Device.

When I did the wipe and factory reset from CWM Recovery, I was on the sdcard created with sdcard-cwm-hummingbird-hybridv2.img and cm-10.1-20130203-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbirdv2.zip.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Well you got things pretty messed up doing that. The erase and deregister wipes the whole device except /system. And it would have the same issues I mentioned earlier. /system would still have the changes from the zips and the corresponding /data changes would be wiped out. And your hybrid info wiped out.

And doing the factory reset with the hybrid CWM did nothing because you had already wiped everything with the erase and deregister.

The solution is the same. Reflash all the zips you flashed before so that /system and /data match. Then start over with the hybrid SD so it recreates the data for the SD.

Thanks leapinlar. I'm working on it now trying to get it all back where I had it. Fortunately it's a spare and I can play with it all I want and learn. I just don't want to end up with the proverbial "brick" if I can help it.

Edit: I've been around long enough to know "backup, backup, backup". For some reason I didn't this time. Argh...

Edit: Well, I've got it all back to normal. In order to get the Nook stock "Storage Management" settings to work again, and for my pc to see it, I took it back to original factory OS and built back up from there. Your plain stock 2.0.0 zip came in handy for that. B&N's 2.0.6 OTA update worked fine next time I registered the device.

Thanks again leapinlar! All good!

[HDplus] Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus and Stock Dual Boot

To clarify for the [HDplus] Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus and Stock Dual Boot do you need to root first..?

As the installer is falling to run (haven't got the device in front of me this morning - but I think it was error E possibly (?)

I may be being a bit thick but I made the card (worked fine) have the files on internal media and am trying to install:

cm-10.1-20130213-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird

and

gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip

from bokbokan's [Nook HD] CM10/10.1 development (sdcard) updated CM10.1 2/21

If this is not correct could you please put a link on your OP for the Hybrid card to the correct files..?

BTW already running ROOT/GAPPS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods - via CWM flashable zips (without root) works a treat.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No you do not need to root stock first.

Your problem is that the hummingbird zip is for the HD, not the HD+. Notice the title of bokbokan's thread says [Nook HD]. That is why you got the error. You need to look in the development forum for verygreen's HD+ CM zips. They will say ovation instead of hummingbird. And for the HD+, CM10 is more stable than CM10.1.

The 12/31 ROM from verygreen's thread will work fine. The main change in the latest (2/20) build is less finicky orientation switching. On all earlier builds, you'll have to hold the tablet almost straight up and down for an orientation change to register.

SD Hybrid with CM 10.1

Have upgraded from SD Hybrid CM 10 to CM 10.1 (minor couple of niggles like why is notification/status bar font at top of screen so small and why no developer options to set long-press on back icon to kill current app) in order to take advantage of multi-user options in 4.2 as I share my device with my wife and son (until I get him the 64gb iPad he has asked for).

Everything seems to work OK (except loading screen is a bit wonky).

I am currently using Sandisk 32gb Class 4. Would it be possible/advisable to swap files to Sandisk 64gb Class 10 in order to get a bit more storage space for the three of us. And if so do I need to do more than set the 64gb card up and then copy files across..?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The small fonts is just the way it is. And the boot animation is always distorted for now.

To get to the developer options in CM10.1, go to settings and about tablet tap several times on the build number. That should authorize developer options.

Do things in this order. Boot to CWM and do a backup. Then save all your CM10SDCARD media files to your PC using your USB cable. Burn the new card. Boot with the new card, it will create new partitions and wipe the old Hybrid data from internal. Flash the same version of the ROM you had before, flash the converter and gapps. Boot to the CM10.1 and register with Google. Use your USB cable to copy all the media files back to your new CM10SDCARD. Boot to CWM using the CM10.1 power off/boot menu. Go to backup and restore, advanced restore, and restore /data. Reboot and you should be back to where you where.

Came back to life after fourth or fifth reboot - and working happily at the moment.

Quick question: I have loaded various configurations of GAPPS, Hybrid CM10, Hybrid CM10.1 and N2A card etc - does each one completely reconfigure the internal memory of the Nook - or leave traces behind that are taking up (valuable) storage space..?

Unfortunately there are advantages/disadvantages to each of them but once I have decided on the final configuration I am happiest with how do I remove all other unwanted files etc..?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The only one that takes up space on internal is the Hybrid. If you decide to keep one of the others after trying Hybrid, you can remove the extra Hybrid files by going to /int-data/cm_data using CM10 and remove all files there. If you use rooted stock, you can find the files at /data/cm_data.
