Questions from a Noob...

Hello all,

I just picked up a Nook HD yesterday, and hoped to install CM10 on it.

Using the sdcard installer found here, I got CM10 running on my Nook HD!

Unfortunately, I have been noticing some weird things and have a few questions.

1. When I reboot, I don't see the Cyanoboot screen like in this video; It takes me straight to a blank screen (which I think means that it's trying to play the bootanimation, but it doesn't/can't) and then a fully black screen, where I can then hit the Power button or Nook button and see CM10 in all its glory. Any tips?

2. When creating the sdcard for install, I was originally planning on using the CWM bootable image and then manually flashing the ROM and Gapps zips through the recovery, but there wasn't enough space on the partition. I am probably missing something here...

3. If I take the sdcard out, does it boot to the B&N Android on the internal memory?

4. Is it possible to install CM10 to the internal memory?

5. Where do CWM backups get stored by default; on the internal or external sdcard memory?

I am pretty familiar with Android and root on quite a few devices, but the nook is one of the most complex for me to wrap my head around.

Thank you very much and keep up the good work! CM10 is quick and awesome on the HD!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] yelloguy:
1. I have the exact same behavior but quickly learned to ignore it as I don't reboot often.

3. Yes. Easy to check for you.

4. Not yet AFAIK.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] patel4prez:
Cool. Thanks for the quick reply! If you have the same issue with Cyanoboot, then I'm not too worried. I just thought it might me the nook (or me :p)...

But that was the biggest of my worries. Thanks for clearing that up.

Corrupt SD Card?

I've been using verygreen's SD card image to run CM10.1 on my HD+ for the past month.

I haven't had any real problems until the latest update (12/31). Apparently my SD card is now corrupt. Problems started when my HD+ rebooted on it's own and booted into stock ROM. Restarting didn't help. I had to physically pull the SD card out of the slot, plug it back in and then reboot my HD+. Booted back into CM10.1, but when I was reading a PDF, my HD+ froze and now will no longer boot into CM10.1 no matter what I do. I didn't want to wipe my SD and start over just yet.

Didn't know if this was a problem with the latest update or maybe my SD card is taking a dump after working great the past month.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
This is the HD thread. You would get a better response if you posted to verygreen's CM10 HD+ thread. And you are running CM10, not CM10.1.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] kmahoney:
You are correct, it's CM10. My mistake.

But, I'm not allowed to post in verygreen's thread. Guess I didn't realize this was an HD only thread.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Delta^1_1:
It doesn't matter how the changes to /system are made; all that matters is what the changes are. If an unrecognized file is present (or a stock file is replaced by a different file), the Nook will go into its reboot loop. But if a new symlink or new directory is present (or if a stock file is replaced by a symlink or a directory), the Nook will ignore it. This is true even if the changes were made by adb or CWM.

Yes, in theory it is possible to install a modified version of CM10 that will run off the internal storage. But nobody has created such a version yet. It's even possible in theory to install a modified boot image that will run the stock B&N system image without looking for changed files, but nobody has done this either.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] anupwardtrend:
Update version of CM10 possible?

I want to say first- THANK YOU! I love CM10 on my Nook HD.

I'm running the version from 12/28.

I want to update to a newer release.

I've read the edits to the 12/28 install but I'm still not quite sure- do I modify the installer image with the new hummingbird, and do a fresh install?

Or can I just use CWM?

Will either method leave the CM10SDCARD partition intact? If not, is there a way (currently available or in the future) to preserve that partition?

Thanks!

Nook HD noob

OK, it seems that I have no clue on how to dual boot via microSD card to my just purchased Nook HD. (not a HD+)

I am running windows8. The Nook HD is unfortunately V2.0.5 and I have never dealt with rooting androids or putting .img on SD cards. SD card is a Kingston 8GB microSD HC class4 SDC4/8GB. I am good with computers and I like to hack into gaming systems. I read what I could but it seems that I can’t get the nook to boot off of the microSD card. How exactly do you do a warm boot/reboot?

Is there a Nook DH dual boot for dummies or can you explain step by step to someone that has never done this before? I am so lost……terminology and all.:crying:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] anupwardtrend:
I think this is the thread you want: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2063968

Scroll down to where it says 'CM10 sdcard Installer'

If you can get that image (not just a drag-'n-drop) onto an sd card, then just boot up the nook and it will install CM on the sd card.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bokbokan:
Copy the newly downloaded zip to CM10SDCARD, boot to CWM and then select the file for the update. That's it.

I used win32diskimager-binary to write the cm10-sdcard-installer.img to my SD card with no luck once SD card was placed into the nook HD and cold booted. Keeps booting in the nook OS.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mothemom:
Sometimes when you rewrite stuff on a card it doesn't work. Try reformatting the card using the SD formatter at sdcard.org

Then, after you've reformatted the card, try reburning the img to the card.

OK, I reformatted using sdcard.org formatter. I used win32diskimager-binary to write the cm10-sdcard-installer.img to my SD card and still no luck. Started nook cold boot. Don’t know how to do a warm boot.

Install CM10.1 on Nook HD internally?

I have been using the dual boot/hybrid installation of CM10.1 on SDcard for some time now, and am delighted with it - I'm really grateful to bokbokan and others for all your hard work - thank you.

I've come to the point where I'm hardly ever wanting to boot into stock. (Usually it's if I want to use ADB, which I can't get to work with CM10.1.) What's the state of play with creating a CM10.1 ROM that could be installed using ROM Manager, replacing the stock ROM I assume? Is this likely in the foreseeable future?

PhilG
[Nook HD, HD+ General] FrakWare:
I dunno if I should post this question here or on the troubleshooting board, but this seems to be where everyone is going for HD help, so-

I followed these instructions for the hybrid setup:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37578234

Using these files-

* sdcard-cwm-hummingbird-hybridv2.zip

* update-20130221.zip

* gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip

After some trouble getting CWM to boot, I did finally get to install everything, and it all seemed to go well (although the screen would just flash whenever I tried to wipe the Dalvik cache, if that matters). I started up the Nook HD, and now it's been stuck on the boot screen (the one with the spinning circle), for at least a good half hour now. Any idea what went wrong?

[Nook HD, HD+ General] FrakWare:
Nevermind, I scrapped the whole endeavor and simply rooted instead; which covers my needs pretty well.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sixers_610:
I'm kinda confused.

If I root with CM 10.1, does that automatically install Android Jelly Bean?

Does every type of installation require the SD card to be in at all times?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
CM10.1 is Jellybean. You are not rooting, you are installing a whole new operating system, CM10.1, jellybean, which happens to also be rooted.

For the HD it must be in the device all the time. There is not a version available for internal memory yet for the HD.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] Edvard_Greig:
So with the firesale going on I just picked up two HD+s (one for me and the gf) and then a separate HD for myself to play with. I already have the HD+s running with 10.1 running off the emmc without needing the SD card.

I'm hoping this is the right forum to ask, but are the architectures pretty similar between the HD/HD+? Since the HD+ now has the ability to do a full install to emmc is it reasonable that we'll see the same functionality/ability on the HD soon, or are there other technical hurdles that are preventing that from happening? I like the HD, but if it looks like it'll never have a native install I may just take it back. Thoughts/Speculation/Heresay/Petty Gossip? :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
There is no reason that it could not be done. It is just a matter of someone wanting to do it bad enough to make it happen. But it is not nearly as popular as the HD+, so it may be a while.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] Edvard_Greig:
Thank you for the insight, I was actually almost tempted to just get the 7"as I liked the form factor. I didn't realize it want nearly add popular. given the SD card slot is there any good reason to get the larger capacity models?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, the 8gb is too small, only 5gb free. Given the price difference I recommend the 16gb. Also sometimes, depending on which software you are running, the SD is not really used. For instance on the HD+ emmc install, only the internal is used and the SD is just window dressing, same as stock. So it maybe true on the HD if we ever get internal installs.

I too, like the form factor, especially for reading.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Edvard_Greig:
Thanks, is the 16 sufficient for the HD+ since it nets about 13gb free?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It is enough, but 32 is better.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
Agreed on the 32.

Issues with power on

I've had my nook HD for a few months now, got it to run cm10 a couple days after I got it. I've had very few problems with it, but today I powered off and when I tried to power it back on it wouldn't seem to work. It was at about 80% battery I thought, so I doubted it died. I tried taking the SD card out to see if it was a problem with the nook, but it powered on just fine to stock then (got stuck at 99%.) I put the SD card back in hoping to boot back to cm10 it still wouldn't work. I'm hoping I won't have to wipe the SD card as I don't have access to a computer for a few days. Any ideas what could be wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] scabbard1:
How is stability and speed on cm on internal storage?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
For the HD+, it is has been fine for me. The device is actually a LOT faster loading apps with CM 10.1. I replaced 2.1 with CM 10.1 and did not expect the huge difference. Night and day is burned out phrase, but this IS night and day, with 2.1 being a very dark night.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
So I read that the cynoboot w/ LGD screen issue was fixed. so, what files do I need to get/replace to use it?

Can I do it from CM 10.1 or do I need to use a PC?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You need to use a PC to put the new uImage file on the SD boot partition.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
Sweet! Having cynoboot working is really nice.

So now to figure out which CM10.1 image to upgrade to and how...

I currently have the 0609 release. Looking at the comments the latest 2 have issues.

So, any reason to go to 0617 or just wait for the recent bugs to be fixed?

To do it, I just put the zip file on the boot partition like I did with the original sdcard-installer?

Can CWM see it there? I recall having trouble with that for installing gapps, and had to download straight to the tablet.

I did have adb working over wi-fi, but not with USB (Win8 and drivers causing headaches. Worked fine with my A10 tablet and WinXP)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, you download it to your CM10.1 media partition or internal storage, then CWM can see it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
OK, and then just install it with CWM? Anything else I need to do first? Clear a cache, format a filesystem, etc?

Doing so keeps my current configuration (settings, apps, etc) or does it wipe everything?

(I have an image of the SD card just in case :) )

Still new to android and the cyanogen mod, so bear with me. Linux was so much easier, even years ago (Red Hat 5 and slackware)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Just flash with CWM. Don't wipe anything. All your apps and settings remain.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
Cool. With all the HD/HD+ and 10/10.1 thread cross talk it's been tough to follow and keep it all straight.

Sort of torn now going forward. 8GB HD. I like having all of CM10.1 on the SD card, a backups are super simple and I plan to build one for my 9yr old. Then nothing she does causes much trouble (just reimage the card and she's back)

But only needing the card for booting is nice too and I doubt I'll ever really use the Nook OS.

Back to the threads to make sense of it all.

cannot unlock screen in CM10.0/SGT 7 SD/Hybrid

I have installed bokbokan's CM10.0/SGT 7 SD/Hybrid in my Nook HD+. Everything is fine so far except 2 minor issues. Thanks, Bokbokan.

1. I cannot unlock the screen some times. It stuck on the lock screen. I have to reboot.

2. After I set up a live wallpaper, it will back to original wall paper when the screen is unlocked again.

Stable CM Nook HD

I just bought a nook HD and the first thing I did was to load up CM 10.1 running off of the sd card. I have to say you guys have done a wonderful job with making such a stable fast rom. I am ready to make the plunge to installing the rom on the emmc, but have one question. I see the stable version of CM 10.1 was released for quite a few devices on 6/24/2013 on get.cm/?type=stable. Is it safe to say that verygreen's cm-10.1-20130624-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip is the stable release?

Thanks

Display brightness

Is there an even faster way to control display brightness as by

- Slide down

- touch brightness

- move slider ?

As the NOOK lacks of a brightness detector this seem to me of importance.

As an idea, maybe just 3 fix settings (min med max) that can be toogled (best with a Hardware key combination (press Volume butten long ?).

Take care if you device has been set to lowest brightness and you are in bright sunlight. You will have trouble to change setting blind ...

Sorry if I missed an according post - this is all new to me, and I just started reading.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bokbokan:
Enable 'settings->status bar->brightness control' then you can control brightness by sliding across status bar
[Nook HD, HD+ General] starbright_:
Sorry, that is the same mechanism that I described above. No chance to do so with a completly dimmed NOOK out in the sun - as you can't see anything on display ;)

Battery drain...is it normal to have 1% per hour with wifi on but not used (sleep). If I set wifi to only when plugged in, I get great standby battery life.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
No, it's not. You don't need to see anything to use it. Just touch in the center near the upper screen edge and slide.

Play with it some in better lighting to get the feel, but I've used just that a few times when taking the Nook outside.

USB gamepad not working

Many thanks for the CM. Installed 10.1 works fine with SD cards, USB stick, external HDD. But NO joystick support. I can see my joystick with dmesg and lsusb but none of the keys and sticks seems to work. The joystick is simple inexpensive PS2 USB joypad, similar to the one shown in verygreen's video. What can I do to diagnose/fix the problem?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] starbright_:
Sorry, that was a misunderstanding. So if I get it right, bokbokan has describe how to enable this control mechanism and you how to use it.

Will test this later.

Other question is regarding USB:

I can't see anything happen if I connect the device with my PC. I would expect that I get a new drive at PC side.

I checked both normal and forced mode.

I have observed that LED below is sometimes green, sometimes yellow - but Battery always shows, that there is no charging.

Edit:

Again regarding Brightness: I don't get it.

I can set Icons in both Status bar (right) and notification bar (Left). I get this bars by sliding down.

I set the Icon in Notification bar to toogle between dimm, 50% and 100%.

But a slider (left/right or up/down) to adjust brightness - I can't set.

Setting/System/Status bar/ : there I have just Display Time, Batterystat, Notification counter.

Lockscreen staying locked

Hi,

I bought a Nook HD+ and promptly installed CM 10.1. for the most part it seems pretty stable, I've had a few reboots but nothing major - what I do keep getting though is the tablet locking and then when I try to swipe off the lock, it flashes for a second and then returns back to the locked screen. The only way around this is a reboot.

Its not a major problem but is a bit aggravating!

Has anyone else experienced this with the 12/7 Rom and is there a way to resolve it??

Thanks in advance
[Nook HD, HD+ General] alexb54:
I just installed CM 10.1 as well and had this problem this morning. When I tried to unlock it, it showed the screen as unlocked then flashed and back to the lock screen. Instead of rebooting, I swiped down the quick settings and went to the settings screen. It flashed again and back to lock, but I went to settings again and it worked (not flashing anymore). Then I was able to swipe to unlock normally. I'm not sure if this would work every time, but it's worth a try.

If Tablet mode is on and you enter the status bar settings, the brightness option isn't there.

Turn off tablet mode, back up to system and back to status bar, and it is.
