So I take it , that it can flash w/t any modification... Great ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
Just flashed the new CM10.1 over CM10, updated gapps, wiped dalvik cache and formatted cache for good measure and everything works great. Well, except for bluetooth, apparently, but I have nothing to test it on so I won't miss it for now anyway. Now if I can figure out how to get it to display in tablet mode instead of phablet mode, but I guess I need to go digging around in the CM10.1 thread for that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dbrickg:
Likewise, flashed cm10.1 over cm10 and all's well. The non-tablet display seems to be a regular problem with 10.1. There were a lot of people upset about google's decision to make it the unalterable default for the nexus 7, for instance. I'm just living with it for the moment, but would be more than happy if somebody figures out how to reinstate table mode. Oh, one other thing somebody pointed out in verygreen's hd+ cm10.1 thread that the new cm10.1 rom makes the hd+ think it's a phone, so there's a bunch of battery wasted looking for cell service....
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I also find the display annoying. What the heck? Kinda excited that it works but not sure I'm happy with it looking like a very large phone. :(

To remove mobile data completely requires a new compile. There is an old method that may work tho> first you need the source code patch and to undo this commit.

You can give it a shot if you know what your doing.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
I'm excited; the bar down below had very limited functionality and is/was taking a ton of screen state. Having it on the top is m,ore intuitive, and also giving it a dual functionality (toggles on the right and notifications on the left) makes it very functional and it takes over little screen estate...

As for the software buttons I never really like them so with the notification/toggle bar in a different place I can finally disable the dreaded button bar I much prefer to have gesture and or PIE to move around than this ugly dormant linear thing that I may or may not press by mistake when playing or surfing the web.

I'm pretty much using cm10.1 since January for this reason alone, it's so very functional the new Google's scheme that I cannot even begin to understand how I could even use the pre 4.2 debacle...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] vishaljh:
Hi Stevethegreat,

I also hate the button bar at the bottom. Can you please shed some light on disabling the button bar and also what gesture/PIE you are referring to as a substitute for button bar.

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
PIE controls is a hidden soft buttons menu that you swipe in existence when you want to use one or any of them. I much prefer it over the dormant bar. It's been baked into mainline cm since last month, here's how it looks like. So a long as very green used fresh cm sources it will be right there embedded in his new ROM as an option... I'm sorry I haven't installed his new version yet so I'm not sure if it is there or not so yo have to go there looking... If is not embedded then you'd have to disable the navigation bar manually, either -again- from a settings' option or by using an app called fullscreentoggle...

Lastly you can use gestures to go around using GMD gesture control, but be warned that it doesn't come free from the store. There is a gmd lite version lately but I haven't used it so I don't know how capable is it, it would be probably be best to try the free version first to see if it suits you... What GMD does pretty much is letting you assign multi finger gestures to simulate functions including the ones executed by the soft buttons...it also let's you use your screen's edges as buttons...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] vishaljh:
Thanks StevetheGreat. I will try your suggestions tonight.

I'm glad that you like the new screen arrangement. I can see that there are advantages to it. But what irritates me is that there isn't any way to toggle back to the old behavior for those of us that preferred that. They seem to have gone out of their way to make it impossible to revert to the old behavior.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Well if its any consolation (which probably isn't ), I used to find this setup silly too, I.e. having an almost phone like environment it was after days of use that I grew fond of it...

The truth of the matter is that Google does the notification bar very well she was the first to introduce it as an essential part of her os and they continue evolving it... They probably felt that having a branch of their products shun away from such a "technical marvel" is probably not seen as a genius move so they put it back.

I'm with you there should have been choice, but seeing how advanced they keep getting the notification bar (almost complete control of certain apps w/t even accessing them by this point) I can see why they d want people to get used to it and it alone

For those of you wanting the Tablet interface on CM10.1, go to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38147267

It has worked successfully on the Nook Colors running CM10.1. I have no idea if anyone can get it working on the HD+, but the authors of that thread say that it should work on any device with CM10.1.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dbrickg:
I *totally* agree about the good job they've done. I really like the new notification bar. It's just that I'd like to see an option to move the various elements of the notification bar and button bar to wherever I want them. There's plenty of room on the bottom bar for all of those functions. I use both hands to support the nook, and if I have to move one hand to the top, it's a whole juggling act. And the 3 buttons that are currently in the middle of the bottom bar are too far away to access easily with my thumbs, so I like having the option to move them to one side or the other. Everybody has their preferred setup, and it shouldn't be that hard to make it flexible enough for everyone.

Thanks, that looks good. But I don't really want to have to recompile a new rom every day. I'd just like to have cm (and google) put some flexibility into the system. Doesn't seem like it should be that hard. If I wanted a consistent, rigidly enforced UI, I'd get an iPhone (not really, but you see what I mean)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] deekarma:
Worked a treat on latest cm10.1. Cheers!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I see what you mean. While I can grow to appreciate the top section with notification on left and settings on the right, it's the lower portion that I don't think I'll grow to appreciate. Like you, I would prefer to have a choice on where the "back / home / recently used" buttons are located.

I haven't actually gotten a lot of time to play with it since I added CM10.1. Hopefully tomorrow night I'll get more opportunity to spend some quality time with it.

Thanks leapinlar. Was able to use the Windows Auto-Patcher successfully against the 0422 ROM. I prefer this interface with the notifications at the bottom.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] gandalf_grey91:
All the files are for 7" Samsung Tabs, which one is supposed to work for the HD+?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
No, they get compiled for your device when you follow their instructions. Then they work for the HD/HD+.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kleinbiker:
That thread has download links for the Auto-Patcher utility. You are supposed to download that utility and point it at the ROM you are using. The utility generates the zip to be applied to patch the UI. Don't use the Samsung specific files in that thread.

I have attached the zip's that the utility generates for 0422 ROM. Reboot to recovery, apply the *-tabletUI-*-update.zip to change UI to tablet UI and clear the cache/dalvik cache. Presumably the *-restore.zip is for restoring back to original ROM - i didn't verify whether it works.

The patch isn't without glitches. The history of apps used repaints the screen and pops up in the middle. Some stuff is skewed when tapping the status at right bottom. Still it's a lot better than stock 10.1 IMO.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] thegracious:
did anyone try the new cm10.1 05/05 ? does it still work with the hybrid setting?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] hunterwei:
The Hybrid approach works, but seems the SD cm 10.1 rom is not very stable, had a lot of errors after installation.

Not working for me either. Thankfully I made a backup before flashing.

With Nook's 2.1 ROM for the HD+, is one required to revert back to stock ROM, update to 2.1, the reapply the Hybrid fix?

I've read through this and other leapinlar threads (all excellent and worth the read in their own right) and if the procedure is explained I missed it, or it passed over my head.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Do you still use the 4/24 version? Can you identify why the the 5/5 didn't work? Maybe you didn't apply leaplinar's zip on top? Sorry to be so insistive but I try to figure why the 5/5 version should not work with hybrid...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] MechaGen:
I am back on 4/24. I flashed 5/5 again because I thought that I might have forgotten to flash the converter zip after the ROM last time, but got the same results. Here's the errors I got:

"Unfortunately, system UI has stopped "

"Unfortunately, Process android.process.media has stopped"

"Unfortunately, com.google.process.gapps has stopped"

May have been some more, I get bombarded with these errors.

I've tried every version of CM10 & CM10.1, SD and hybrid and always have the same problem. That is the ROM reboots ever 5 hours or so. Running off of a SanDisk 32 gb class 4. Going to try the emmc install as soon as I can find the time to do it right.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You mean flashing 5/5 on Hybrid messed up your Hybrid configuration so no other CM version works properly on it? Or are you saying that you always have had these problems?

If you meant the latter, that means you have an installed app interfering. I never have any reboots anymore (using 12/31 on Hybrid SD and now 5/5 on emmc).

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] MechaGen:
Sorry for the confusion. The latter. I have over 100 apps installed, don't know how to begin finding out what app would be the culprit.

Verygreen recommend that you pull a copy of the boot partition before installing the emmc ROM. Do you think that is necessary?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Not if you used my stock CWM to do a backup of stock. It will do it for you.

I have a new HD+ as a replacement for one that was also very new but had wifi problems. On the replacement unit stock ROM was updated to 2.1, and runs fine. Then I tried the SD hybrid method, with the 5/5 ROM and the 1212 gapps. The converter.zip was also flashed. I had the same set of problems, with all those processes stopped. I could not get past the Google sign-in step. I had to go back to stock.

On my previous HD+, I was able to install the 0424 ROM. But for some reason, wifi was very unstable. So I wiped data/cache and installed CM10 instead. That worked well for a while, but then I got wifi problems again. The data rate on the connections would drop to 1Mbps, while another tablet in the same location was getting 130Mbps. The wifi connection would also drop and reconnect every few minutes. I took it back to B&N, and they saw the same problem at the store with the stock ROM, which was updated to 2.1. So they gave me a new unit. So far the new one is much more stable running stock 2.1. I am not sure if I were to totally reset and de-register the other HD+, would the wifi problem go away. I did not remember noticing the wifi problem before the hybrid try attempt on that unit.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Taosaur:
I just discovered (as is probably mentioned somewhere back in this thread) that using the "Erase and Deregister" option from stock while the hybrid SD is inserted will factory reset the SD install rather than EMMC. And, of course, I forgot to make a backup :P

Oh well, I was planning to wipe and update to CM10.1 anyway. I'm also toying with the idea of going to straight stock with just root, hence the attempt to reset by what seemed like the safest route. The worst I lost was some game data.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Erase and Deregister will wipe all data on emmc including the portion of Hybrid data that is there. And backing up emmc would not have helped. You have to back up Hybrid if you want to save your Hybrid data.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Taosaur:
False. With the card inserted, "Erase and Deregister" wiped my card but not EMMC. I'm guessing it triggered a factory reset via the hybrid CWM rather than stock recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
The Erase and Deregister does request a boot to stock recovery and a wipe of emmc. But I can see if you had the Hybrid SD inserted it could have booted to Hybrid CWM instead of stock recovery. And it could have picked the factory reset there. In that case your media files would be ok, just your app data gone.

Interesting. Whether you had your SD in or not, you would have lost your Hybrid data.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] hahyun6:
How do you remove hybrid completely from internal storage? I removed the SD card and repartitioned it back to normal but was wondering if there was extra stuff left inside the internal. If so, How do you remove?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes there is stuff left there. But the only way to remove it is to use rooted stock. If you are not rooted, you can temporarily root and then when finished cleaning internal memory, flash the disable root zip to get rid of it.

Go to /data and delete the folder /cm_data. That is all there is to it.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikelav456:
I will admit that I haven't had a chance to read through the entire thread so I ask this question with a bit of trepidation.

I used to own a nook color and used a microsd to boot into cm. I remember then that some thought a class 4 or 6 card was ideal for this. Is that still the case? What if I install cm straight to emmc, is class 10 ideal for just storage?

Thank you!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Class 4 is still ideal for SD installs. Class 10 are generally ok for storage with emmc installs, but class 4 are still ideal.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikelav456:
Class 4 is ideal for just storage too? Is that true across devices or is there something special about the Nook?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Something special on Nook HD/HD+. Verygreen reported sometime back that the B&N kernel has trouble with some SDs. I don't know if that is fixed in the new version, but just use class 4 to be safest.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
It's not the kernel, it's nook hardware that's faulty, I believe.

The 2.1.0 kernel update includes some more bandaids in this area that I've yet to try.

With stock kernels I had Sandisk class 4 cards working fine in 2.0.0 release only (the one where they 100% match vanilla kernel code in emmc area, U-1 cards had problems, though), once they started to add workarounds in 2.0.2, problems appeared on all kinds of cards, including class 4.

We'll see what 2.1.0 changes bring us (I see they now do retries on io errors)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikelav456:
Hard to find class 4 cards at high capacities from reputable merchants (I've been sold a fake card before). Anyone have any suggestions or trusted sellers on amazon or Ebay?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Taosaur:
Personally I've had no problems with a 64GB SanDisk class 10 (the UM10), but some people have had issues with those cards. They're marketed specifically toward Android devices and I think SanDisk balanced the performance compared to older class 10 cards that had abysmal small-block write speeds.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Character Zero:
Can we just do this from within CM, reboot to stock, and then reformat the card within the B&N stock rom.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Not from CM Hybrid, it is using that folder. But if you have CM on an Original SD install, yes. And I'm not sure stock format will give you the full size of the SD back. It might.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Character Zero:
So what is the best way to go back to stock from hybrid and get the full SD back?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Taosaur:
SD Formatter.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Taosaur is right about using SDFormatter to get the SD back to full size. But what I was talking about earlier was how to reclaim the space on internal that Hybrid was using.

There is only one way I can think of, do what I said in the earlier post. Use rooted stock to remove the cm_data folder in /data.

If you try to use my stock CWM SD, it will still leave the Hybrid data there if you restore an earlier backup of stock or wipe data/factory reset stock. I modified my stock CWM (rev 3) to do that so Hybrid would remain intact.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Character Zero:
Ok so factory reset, flash 2.1.0, root, remove the cm_data folder.

Yes (cm_data in /data). Then format SD with SDFormatter.

I assume the issue arose when I reflashed to the build before 5/5 (had a bunch of force closes with 5/5) but didn't reflash the converter, thinking it unnecessary.

You have to flash the converter every time you flash a ROM, whether it is the first time it not.

I'm sure that I'm doing something stupid but I just can't get my nook to boot to CWM. I burned my 32gb sd card with the hybrid SD image, stuck it in my nook, booted it up, nothing happens - it just boots to regular nook mode.

I may be missing a huge step.

Thanks,

Eric
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You are not doing anything stupid. Sometimes it is very difficult to get a bootable SD to boot in any Nook. The card must be set up perfectly or it won't boot. It depends on the SD itself, what operating system you are using, what software you are burning it with, what card reader you use, how you initiate the burning software. Lots of things.

Try to use a SanDisk class 4 SD. Use an external card reader rather than one built into your PC. If using Windows, use win32diskimager and run it in administrator mode. Close all unnecessary Windows.

And some HD+'s are just finicky. My old one boots fine, but my new one is difficult to get it to boot. Even using the same card that boots on my old one. But it does eventually boot.

My advice is to just keep trying to burn and boot.

I had the same issues using CM10.1 5/5 version with the Hybrid flash, tried a few times on different sd cards, always the same.

I did install the 5/5 on a sd card without Hybrid and that did work, albeit a little buggy in areas.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
It's likely because I export /int-data/ via mtp now and hybrid changes some mechanics so it becomes unavailable? Need to update init.rc if so or all sorts of things crash, you do not get the background image and so on.

I don't see your bugreport in the sdcard thread somehow ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] gteye:
Lol, sorry everything was basically already mentioned in that thread I believe but I did only get 5/5 sdcard up and going very late last night.

The one thing that did occur, and I can add it to the 5/5 thread, is that if you add another user, log in as that user and then have that user install an app from the play store, it would pop up an error about themes crashing, the app would install, you could click OK and it would continue fine.

I'm still working on getting adb working with the nook on windows 8, so my reports may be slow lol.

Same here too. I was all excited about doing the Hybrid method too, I've been having a lot of trouble with the 99% crashes and thought it would help.

Got one of those crashes right off the bat with 5/5; haven't used it much since then, but hopefully it'll be more stable than before at least (I was using the 1/20 ROM before). I am using a 32GB Sandisk Ultra Class 10 UHS-1 Card btw.

I'm only passing along the consensus on every thread I follow here regarding the HD and Plus. Very few got good results from the class 10. When they switched to the class 4, they got much better results. Even the developers were suggesting the class 4 so original poster, take the suggestion with a grain of salt, but I've had no glitches with the class 4 at all. No reboots, no crashes, nothing.
