If you do not already have one, make and boot to my CWM for stock SD from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Then go to the mounts and storage menu and choose the 'format data and datamedia' option. That will wipe all data including you media files and the Hybrid files. Then flash the hdplus plain 2.1.0 factory zip I also have in my HD/HD+ CWM thread. That will restore everything so you can re-sign in.

Then take the SD and format it in your PC with SDFormatter which you can get free on the web.

verygreen CM10 05/11

I tried to use the hybrid scheme for the latest 05/11 CM10. The aosp keyboard crash when i am trying to enter wifi password.

I tried to follow the sdcard installation but got confused. Luckily the OP's easy sdcard installation guide/tool is very easy to follow (like hybrid steps minus the converter step). The 05/11 CM10 sdcard installs fine and run smoothly on my 32gb class 10 sandisk micro-sd card. More importantly, i have not get a single reboot in close to 24 hours.

Being an android phone/tablet user, i like cm10 better than the stock - it does not have nook weirdness.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
Any update to this issue?

I've tried 3 different cards and have the "Unfortunately, system UI has stopped " message. I'm trying the latest CM rom. I can't get past start screen either. .

I haven't tried the Sandisk Class 4 cards recommended. I'm willing to go buy one to try if I'm confident that is the issue.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I don't think that is the issue. I tried installing both the 0511 & 0512 last night on my hybrid. Got the same issues you've got. Gave up on it last night but will probably try to put older version back in until either this gets fixed or I decide to go the emmc route.

EDIT: I guess I should mention that I am using class 4 Sandisk in my system. 32gb
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
verygreen changed the ramdisk starting with his 5/5 version and now none of the newer versions work on the hybrid. Use 4/24 or older. I will try to make a repair zip later.

Thank you very much. I was just on way to Staples to get another card.

It was lots of fun "learning" how to do it for the past few days.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Oh please do (it would be greatly appreciated), I still use stock for my music needs and the better battery (I know it's not much but it has not gone completely obsolete yet compared to CM ... so I need to keep it around until the CM version would be better in 99% of the things)

Thanks btw ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
Yeah, I haven't bit the bullet yet either and gone completely CM10.1 on the emmc. Still holding off, debating the options. Although, the only thing I really prefer stock over CM is the reader, and the fact that I still haven't figured out how to get my magazine subscriptions in the "Nook for Android" app.

But I'm coming to the conclusion that it isn't enough to worry about. I don't really use that feature all that often... It would be nice to have the sdcard devoted to media and not system stuff.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Yeah, forgot about it ... the reader too is what stock does better... but to this the solution seems to be easier, "simply" someone can port the apk ... the battery/audio stuff seems to be connected with drivers handling therefore seem to be harded to solve (then again we have verygreen ;) ) ...

Also I prefer the hybrid solution (compared to pure SD) because it's far faster than pure SD for some reason (even if one owns the fastest SD card in existence)...

Just updated the OP with rev3 of the converter zip. It fixes the ramdisk problem introduced in the 5/5 CM10.1 ROM. Just flash that after flashing the newer ROMs. It should work on all of the newer ones, but only tested on 5/12.

I just installed the new version with your rev3 converter! Awesome, thanks for your continued support of our community and the improvement of the Nook.

I think I have finally figured out something about the issue I was having with the Nook for Android application not finding my magazines. I finally went into the section titled "everything else" in the library and I saw the 2 magazines I have subscribed to. But when I tapped on one to open it, I got the message "this title cannot be viewed on this device"... Huh?!

Anyway I at least know that I have access to them. Now to see if I can find a way to read them and decide if I can once and for all wean myself off of stock and put CM10.1 on emmc.

Any ideas on how to get the Nook app to read magazines on CM10.1?

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Like I said earlier, mine does. Maybe it is the specific magazine. Mine is Consumer Reports. Also B&N changed the format of the magazines a while back. They are now epub. I think they were PDF before, but I'm not sure.

Edit: Wait. I just looked at my version number in the app itself and it said 3.3.0.26.ANDTBL, I think meaning android tablet. Did you install a phone version instead of tablet?

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
Hmm. I was almost excited for a minute there... Then I checked. It says 3.3.1.14.ANDTBL so much for that idea. :(

But when I go to the play store and look for the Nook app, it says "your device isn't compatible with this version."

I wonder if that's the reason it's not working. I have confirmed that it can read books in the library (at least one of them) but I wonder if that "incompatibility" is the reason it doesn't work for my magazines?

Does your play store tell you that your device is compatible?

I got the 04/24 rom working fine. Just flashed the 05/12 with the Rev 3 converter and it worked fine, including the Swap recommended for a small sd card and large internal storage.

BUT the Swap zip, "NookHD-HDplus-Hybrid-SDSwap-for_CM10-10.1-rev2-(03.09.13)" seems to be broken. I did try reflashing ths swap zip a couple of times. I have the 32 gb tablet and a 4 gb MicroSd card.

Connected to PC, shows the 2 drives Internal storage and SD card, each has different files but the size of the drives are each 27 gb.

I don't know how to change the script.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
It is not broken, it is how CM10.1 now allocates emmc for profiles. They divide internal memory by folders so that different users get a different folder. One of the internals is the full emmc and another is a folder named 0.

You might see if you can find a version before 3.3. Play Store says users must sync their library before updating to 3.3, which I did.

I installed the Nook app a couple of weeks ago, before I upgraded, and it's still installed and working. I suppose everybody already knows that, but thought I'd note it, since I haven't seen it mentioned here. (Also, in case it's relevant, I'm on the emmc install, 20120512, but I'm pretty sure the Nook app was working just fine in the hybrid mode, before I went to emmc)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
Hmm. Good suggestion. I found an older version and installed it. It found my magazines right away but when I tried to open one it said "this title cannot viewed on this device".

So I guess that's my answer. I just chose magazines that only work on the stock reader.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: just for kicks I reinstalled the more recent version, after I had synced the older version and it is still not working on my magazines.

@ leap: With the last CM10.1 revision and your (newer) hybrid method I saw the return of a problem I had "solved" 4 months ago, the rabid and frequent reboots that is ... Do you know if it's something your hybrid method caused or is it verygreen's latest kernel ... I may try to catch a log but it probably won't tell much as I'm not the most knowledgeable on kernel troubleshoouting.

Thanks both -for your work- though ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BillBong:
First, thanks to both verygreen and to you leapinlar for the development work you've done on making the HD+ so much better than the release version.

@ leapinlar

Following from my post in the Q&A forum, I've installed the Hybrid version using a CM 10.1 ROM (20130512) and that all went very easily thanks to your clear instructions.

The CM ROM runs nicely and I did an advanced data restore to get my apps back from the previous CM version so I'm where I want to be. However, when I boot into Stock, it's very laggy with noticeable delays in transitioning from one screen to another,

eg. if I go to the app drawer from Home, it takes around 5+ seconds to show the apps. Similarly, I did an install from the Play store for ES Explorer, and it took ages to download/install where it didn't seem to be doing much but there were "syncing" messages that kept popping up in the notifications bar.

It's not a big problem as I'm planning to run on CM for 95% of daily use - just wondering if there's a known problem/workaround (I did a search on this thread but it didn't throw up anything)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You might want to check to see how much free space you have in sdcard in stock. Sdcard in stock, /data in stock and /data in Hybrid all share the same free space on internal memory. One other user noted that stock got sluggish when free space got below about 3GB. I have never experienced that, but it is worth checking. If space is tight, try moving some media files to external SD .

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BillBong:
Yes, that could explain it. I copied a stack of TV episodes to internal storage so its only got about 2GB free. I'll move it over to the external SD in the next few days when I get time and let you know. Thanks again

I reflashed cm 10 and gapps no luck. I tried to change lock screen in settings, Aldo did not work. Tried this http://adventureswith.net/home-button-doesnt-work-on-your-motorola-xoom-running-cyanogenmod/

Which also did not work. Love the hybrid ROM but I'd love to get my lock screen and home buttons back. Any ideas?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Snakemanc6:
Hi Leap!

Im not trying to install the Hybrid on my HD+, in hopes that it will remedy the reboot problem. I REALLY like what youve done with the CM10 installs, it turns the Nook into a very capable tablet. B&N should pay you, as this is what made me buy a Nook. On the other hand, standard CM10 install on my Nook with 64gb cl10 would reboot a couple of times every day and more often than not, id wake to a dead battery.

My question is just to clarify that if i flash NookHD-HDplus-stock-fix-vold-for-dual-boot-hybrid.zip, both operating systems would be able to share the storage? IS this internal only, external SD, media only?

I apologize for all of the questions, but for some reason im having a much harder time grasping this than i am when working with my phone.

As always, many thanks for your hard work and support!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
It makes it so that stock can see the media partition on the external SD. They can already share the internal SD.

I think you will find the reboots much less, if any at all. And certainly no dead batteries.

I have spent a frustrating day or so trying to get my two day old Nook HD+ to recognise and boot from the sdcard using several different CM10 Rom's written to two different SanDisk 8Gb Class 4 SDCards, both of which have worked on several devices previously. I couldn't see what I was doing wrong, indeed as it turned out, I wasn't doing a lot wrong other than using an old win32DiskImager, I'd used for a couple of years. In frustration, I booted up a Windows 8 system instead of my normal Vista, and started from scratch, downloading win32DiskImager from leapinlar's first post, and it worked like a charm. The moral of this story is "it ain't always the SDCard which is at fault", just sometimes especially if the software ones using to write the image is out of date! Hope this might help other people having a similar problem, as there seems to be quite a few post on the web from people having similar problems.

Thanks leapinlar for a truly brilliant rom.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikelav456:
Just got my Nook HD+ a few days ago. A little confused by this method. I have a 64GB card. Would this hybrid setup allow apps to run on EITHER internal or external? If so, if I run something like Play Music and Play Magazines on SD card, would the caching (pinning) happen on the sd card? I really want to be able to store all these files on external since I have such a big card and I know that the Google Play apps don't have an options to choose where to store "pinned" items. Would this hybrid setup be for me?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You're confused? I have no idea what pinning means. But Hybrid stores all installed apps and their settings on internal memory (/data) and all app media files on SD. I know CM10.1 has the apps2sd function disabled. I don't know about CM10.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikelav456:
Sorry. When I refer to pinning I'm referring to how you can make your content in apps like google music, google books, and google magazines available offline. Those files are usually stored on internal memory (there's no option in those apps to make them store the files on external). Just wanting to fully utilize my sd storage capacity. Sorry about the confusion and thanks for all the work you do for the us.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
I did a little research and the pinned files are stored on SD not internal memory. Google just calls it internal memory vs the cloud. Pinned files go to /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/files/music. So all SD installs including Hybrid will store pinned files to SD.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikelav456:
Thank you so much! That's perfect. Looks like Hybrid install is the way to go for me then (so I can also utilize internal memory). Thanks again and sorry for the confusion.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BillBong:
Would appreciate some help to untangle a bit of a screw up.

I managed to trigger the 8-loop reset on Stock (I downloaded AdAway and forgot to change the /system setting). I was running Hybrid before but now the reset has obviously impacted on this and it now just shows the spinning CM logo.

Do I have to do a full re-install of Hybrid to get it back or is there a shortcut - eg. can I just flash the converter? (I'm not worried about any losing any data as I have backup I can restore if needed)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
If you are running rev1 (4/23) of the image file, it will repair itself. So the next time you boot, it will not get stuck on the boot animation. You can either just start setting up again or do an advanced restore of /data with the Hybrid CWM. Also my rev3 of the converter now has the ability to do that on CM10.1, even with the older image.

I feel like an idiot for posting this and not being able to figure this out myself....

So I get the ROM working GREAT, but I had not downloaded GAPPS initially so I DLed it and was going to flash it. I powered down and tried to follow the instructions in the OP to get into CWM but whatever I did threw me into stock nook software... I can't figure out either how to get back to CM or to CWM. I power down and reboot and it reboots into Nook. I power down and power back up while holding n button and it warns me that I'm going to erase my device. I try with the volume button, no luck. This is SO frustrating, because I know I installed CM right....I just can't get back to it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
If you can get back to CM10.1, you can use that to get to CWM again. Go to settings, about tablet and tap the build number several times. That will activate development options. Go to that. Then put a check in the Advanced reboot checkbox. Then when you hold the power button and the power off menu pops up, you can select reboot followed by recovery and it will boot to CWM.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikelav456:
Thanks.

The main problem I was having was that it wouldn't boot into CM no matter what I did. I let it sit a while, took SD card out and put back in, did a rain dance, and it booted back into CM and I used the above method to get back into CWM. So thanks. But then I realized that I can't access what I DLed on CM while on CWM, which was annoying, so I had to go back to stock, download GAPPS, and go through it all again. I think I'm good now though.

Thanks for all your work!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You should have been able to access the file downloaded from CM by using the first choice rather than from internal sdcard choice.

BTW, I just updated the OP to make the instructions clearer on how to get back to CWM.

Thanks for making me aware of the lack of clear instructions. I have so many of these threads that sometimes I don't know which are up to date and clear and which are not.

Where is CWM would my CM downloads be? For the life of me I could not figure it out and I've used CWM on multiple devices. Also, I don't see the device (in it's CM incarnation) showing up when I try to install apps from the play store in my list of devices. Am I missing something here?

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. Had to go into settings on Play Store site and make it visible.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
On the first question, you should be able to just select 'install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard'. I have the Hybrid CWM modified to look at the Hybrid SD media partition for zips. That is where CM downloads files. Oh wait. The new CM10.1 for some reason downloads to the 0 folder in internal memory, so you would need to look in internal memory, /0/downloads. I think there is something messed up in CM10.1 where it downloads to internal memory instead of the external SD.

Sorry to be a pest but I have one more question that I think is appropriate for this thread.

Under settings->storage it is showing internal as ~12gig and SD card as ~59gig. Every time I download an app internal storage goes down but my huge sd card is not touched. Every time I ask a google app to keep something offline (pinning, as we discussed before), the internal storage goes down, SD does not. I was under the impression that the SD card would be used with this setup. Did I do something wrong?

I even tried the EMMC/SD swap zip, but all that did was both internal and SD card as ~12 gigs. Any ideas?

Thank you!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
No, I was just working on that. I think it is a problem with CM10.1. It defaults to emmc for all downloads instead of external SD. I will work with verygreen to see if I can get that fixed. In the meantime, you just have to live with it.

Just an update that your advice worked. I flashed rev3 and then did an advanced restire of /data and everythings back to normal. Also, on an earlier problem where it was very laggy when booting into Stock, that's also solved itself (having freed up space on the internal storage).

Just hoping someone may have some insight to the problem im having. I switched to the Hybrid CM10 setup in hopes of reducing reboots and dead battery due to the tablet trying to boot into stock and freezing at 99%.

Since setting up hybrid, i due still have frequent reboots but they go to stock and save the battery. Aside from the still frequent reboots, ive found that the only way i can get back to CM10 from stock is to go into CWM and wipe the cache partition. If i dont do this, the device will sit at the CM boot screen and never progress.

Is this anything that sounds familiar to anyone? Any advice on a fix?

Thank you in advance.
