Noobys first post.

I bought a cheap Tesco Archos 80 Cobalt and have sucessfully rooted installed CIfs and got a working OTG Cable that can read an Iomega HDD, Intenso Flasg drive, Dell keyboard adn HP mouse.

I have a poundland bluetooth dongle and was hoping it would work straight off. It doesn't. (Although it works on my Ubuntu machine)

For cifs I had to install some drivers and was hoping softhing similar would get it working.

I'm not sure if it is the Cambridge chipset or not.

I'm a bit hesitant about try and entirely new ROM.

Any suggestion/insults?

So the title pretty much explains it. I am itching to get my hands on the new Ubuntu OS, but don't know where to start in terms of porting from an entirely separate device. I have past experience porting ParanoidAndroid and JellyBam from our sister phone, the i9100, but no idea where to begin coming from a totally different hardware setup.

Is this an extremely difficult process? Is there a step-by-step guide out there somewhere that I just haven't found yet?

Responses appreciated and apologies in advance if this is a sheer impossibility for just a power user to do.

The answer, depending on what you're gonna flash, CAN delete stored items..

You're post is way too vague for anyone to tell you to just start flashing..

You need to read the thread of the rom you're gonna flash, what the steps are, and please, for the love of Charlie Brown, back your stuff up if there's a glimmer of doubt..

I'm having a problem with android 4.0.4. I'm portuguese and when I send text messages with special characters like ã or ^^ or ç, the other phones receive this with strange characters.

I discovered this happens because of the sms codification used by my phone. Is there anyway to change this?

cm 10.1 on sd card

I installed it finally after several reinstalls of image on 2 different cards (Samsung 8GB class 10 and A data 8GB class10) finally succeeded on Samsung.Took very longtime to boot and after optimizing apps constant message "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped kept coming and could not proceed any further.Reinstalled image on sd card reinstalled the zip,same result.

Success after 2 reboots

Got it to boot finally! :)

Using the same 32gb SDcard as I was using for CM10. Had to wipe card and install the image (early 4 as suggested) and then adb push over the binary dated 01/07 and install it, on first boot was hanging on the Cyanoboot screen as mentioned by the OP, had to hold down power and shutdown and then power back on 2 times for it to actually start to boot, on 3rd boot it loaded fine, so my tip is to be patient and you shall persevere :)

Cheers verygreen, will get testing and give some feedback on your once again excellent work :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tebra:
Hi verygreen,

here is my feedback for the build 01/07.

The 2 first boot was hanging on the Cyanoboot screen but it boot correctly at the third.

Beside the bugs mentioned by the OP I also have freez of 1-2 second on every app how uses intensively internet (maps, firefox...)

3D games like Temple Run runs smooth :D

I have a FC for terminal emulator so I can't see dmesg command to analyse the freez bug with internet apps.

Thanks for your work
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] CharlesW123:
Usage review

Right I've been running this as my daily driver for 3 weeks now and gotta say other than a few little issues it works great :)

Issues are:

1. WiFi takes 3 goes to connect up most of the time, may be encryption specific (e.g. my work connection is WPA PSK and works most of the time first time but my home connection is WPA2 PSK encrypted and always requires me turning wifi on and off a few times before it gets past authenticating.

2. Random reboots, may well be sd card related as did have them before on CM10 too. Have found it happens fairly regularly when plugged in and charging (usually overnight) but can happen at any time, quite often in the stock browser, so most probably sd card i/o related.

I can try and grab logs if needed for the above?

Overall though works great and after having tweaked my build.prop to think it's a Nexus 7 I have even gotten Sky Go to work (UK based satellite tv broadcaster streaming app) so am super happy with it.

Great work Verygreen :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Chi Ahrens:
Yeah, I'm suspecting that the reboots are because of i/o issues with writing to the sdcard. I never have the tablet connected to adb running logcat when it reboots. It tends to reboot when it's just been sitting there for a while, never in the middle of something. I had to just go back to the stock rooted B&N kernal for my wife's HD+ because she was complaining about the crashes.

On the other hand, my HD running CM10.1 has been pretty stable - one reboot per week. I just did the hybrid install yesterday, so I'm hoping that it's completely stable now. Only time will tell.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] datas0ft:
Hmm ... interesting "hybrid install". Can you guide?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Re: [Nook HD+] CM10.1 development

Just prepare a new SD with his new image (from his hybrid thread) and install the same way as you normally do on SD. Just have to use his 1/30 or newer. It is all automatic. It leaves /boot and /system and /sdcard on SD and puts /data on internal memory (as a folder under internal data). That way stock can still boot without hanging with the SD in and data runs faster.

Edit: But this is only implemented on the HD, so it will not help you. You might look at his old hybrid, with that one you can take the card out once booted, which I think is what you wanted. If that got set up on the HD+ it would make it so the card gets taken out, and it stays on CM10 until rebooted.

You are still not being clear. What do you mean accessible? Do you mean some specific program cannot load the files? And how can you view them, with a file manager? Do you mean seeing the files on your PC? You need to be more specific if you want help.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Verygreen used to update every couple of days or so, but for the last month development has almost stopped whiich leads me to believe that there are RL issues involved in which case i would think that it is rude to ask for updates. If verygreen can't continue development (for whatever reason) we only have to hope that another dev will continue and build upon his work, there's not much else to do/happen, andvasking for updaters certainly doesn't really help...

Back on topic: this rom is by far the best I've used to my nook. Unstable as the others to be sure but noticeably smoother (maybe it only seems so due to the added animations from 4.2). Also I love the rest of 4.2 additions (notification bar, etc), it would be indeed great see this rom developed further, but as I wrote to my prologue, each to its own time...

New binary release cm-10.1-20130605-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip

I was really unhappy about the clumsy way of changing usb host mode, so I found a way to make it happen as a quick settings tile, which I think looks so much better and so much more convenient to access.

Older installs might not have the tile on by default, so you might need to go to

Settings->System->Quick Settings panel->Tiles and layout

press the "+" tile and choose "Forced USBHost".

New installs should have it by default.

To access, scroll with your finger from top right part of the screen and the quick settings panel will open, press the gray USB icon and it will turn Blue for enabled state, press it again to disable.

Redone usb device mounting. Now you can automount only one, but a least it will automount no matter how it's plugged.

Hello. I have a new Nook HD+ 16GB that is still not rooted. I did install the sideload support so I could use the Amazon App store.

I have a 16GB microSD card. I used linux to dd sdcard-cwm-early7.1.img to it - and I put it into the nook and it boots. However, when I choose to Apply update from .zip file on Internal SD card the system can't find /emmc/ - this is what I see. Does the device need to be rooted first or am I making a Nook-nube error here?

SDCARD CWM-based recovery v6.0.3.2
E: Can't mount /emmc/
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Hm, I don't think I have ever seen that.

Does this prevent install from emmc in the end? emmc is not supposed to be mounted at all, it's a preexistign symlink (you should be able to verify this if you have adb)

If you have adb, at this point it might just be easier to adb push the install files to /sdcard/
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RoundSparrow:
Well, I'll quote the first page instructions here:

- Turn on the Nook. CWM interface should load.

- In cwm navigate to install zip from sdcard. -> install from internal storage. (use volume buttons to navigate, home button to select, power button to go one menu level up).

It's also not entirely clear to me about partitions. I did a dd to the SD-card which created a 124MB fat partition that the system is booting from... wading through old and everchanging procedures in the forums.... is the boot supposed to be partitioning the remainder of the unused space on this 16GB sdcard?

Push what files ;) the cm-10.1.zip and gapps files? Again, I'm also wanting to grasp if this /sdcard/ path is the internal Nook flash or a partition on the 16GB microSD card I'm using.

I know the new hot thing is to install to the internal flash, but for now I prefer the idea of running entirely off the SD-Card for CM10.1 testing. Thank you.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
I get this, I even tested it before writing and I don't rememeber any errors.

So my question is, after you do this - don't you see a list of files there?

the image will repartition the card on the first boot attempt, so no worries there.

yes, all the files you plan to install.

/sdcard/ is on the sdcard partition.

/emmc/ is internal storage in the nook.

If you have adb running, do adb shell, see if /int-data is mounted and if there is a /emmc that is a symlink to /int-data/media
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RoundSparrow:
As my own searches and your response indicate... the /emmc/ not mounting is unusual error. I got in adb shell and nothing is mounted.

Starting over with a zeroed out 8GB SD card I have... now it works. I'll zero out the 16GB and give it another go. UPDATE: yep, "ddrescue /dev/zero /dev/sdd" over the device before putting the image on did the trick. I had some previous ext4 and GPT partitions on that card, must have confused boot. Thank you for the help.

workaround2: change ro.product.device to nookhdplus in build.prop - this is because B&N blacklists ovation platform for the app.

The above did not seem to work for me.

PIN eventually doesn't unlock screen

Have installed 10.1-20130605-unofficial-ovation ( shows as 20130606 on my Nook). Works brilliantly. Thanks v much. However after a period of time (? 4hours after first booting) the PIN/pattern unlock doesn't unlock the Nook. It momentarily unlocks only immediately thereafter it returns to the PIN page. I have tried the workaround of swiping down the quick panel at the top right, but 95% of the time this does not work. The only way to get back into the Nook is to reboot. The PIN then unlocks the system again ....but the problem returns in due course. Any other ways round this or is it a problem still to be resolved?

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] gvw755:
Been satisfied with your cm 10 stuff that I didn't think of upgrading until this past weekend when I found a spare card. Installation was a little different but I eventually figured things out. Only thing I noticed was that when booting, the CM counter rotating logo will start out in the upper right hand portion of the screen displayed kind of oblong before eventually moving to the middle of the screen in a circle. Not a biggie as most times it eventually boots. A couple of times (maybe once in about 5 starts, the counter rotating logo will remain on the screen forever. I would then have to turn off and turn on again and it starts up okay.

So far things are working great.

What is the proper way to upgrade SD card boot method? How do you boot to cwm from existing older SD card boot version to apply new zip version?

Also, do you need to clear cache or anything too?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
To boot into cwm you can enable developer options and advanced reboot and then a reboot to recovery option will appear when you try to reboot.

Or you can hold N + power buttons for 4 seconds on reboot once the Nook logo appears.

No need to clear cache or anything like that.

Note that this upgrade will only work if you have new 3-partition format of sdcard, there's no clear upgrade patch from legacy 4 partition format, so hopefully you don't have that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jeff72k:
Thanks, I was able to enable developer options and then reboot to recovery and apply the new update.

However, I could not seem to boot from power off to recovery by holding nook button and power when I saw the initial nook boot word though. Each time it would boot to the nook internal stock room. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with that method?

Wifi Connection Issue - Two HD+ Devices
