This raises a question for me. Is it possible to boot a virgin system from SD card and entirely backup the emmc to a point that everything can be reverted if CM10.1 is installed? ... or ... are there protected areas of the flash that we can't backup/restore?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Ok, new build cm-10.1-20130608-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip

This is for you guys who need it, while I am trying to get upstream to fix it (who knows how long would it take).

hey bud. thanks for the hard work. i flashed the 608 zip via recovery over 605 and im stuck at the cyanoboot universal bootloader screen. so people know i had to hold the power button down and reboot and all is well so if it hangs up just reboot
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
That happens sometimes (though rarely) - gfx driver loading race.

Just reboot (either adb reboot if you have it setup, or hold power + N for some time till the thing turns off, and then turn it back on).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bckrupps:
ok sorry to be a pain. one last thing i am a bit confused on. i have read the posts but i'm still kinda lost. is there a way or can i change the menu when i hold the power button to boot to clockwork recovery without going through an app like rom manager. it will not do it with the power and volume buttons. quickboot doesn't work. i can only seen to access it with rom manager or a prebootable card. otherwise it acts as though it isnt there
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
1. Enable developer options (in settings->about tablet tap on build lien manytimes till developer options appear)

2. In Settings-> Developer options enable "Advanced Reboot"

3. In Settings->System->Power Menu - enable "Reboot Menu"

After you do all of this, once you select reboot in menu that appears when you long-press power (but only when the screen is unlocked), there will be an option "recovery", select it and the reboot will go into recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bckrupps:
Yea that is how I read it in an earlier post. Weird because i checked and unchecked the advance reboot box and tried everything and the power menu stays greyed out in settings...system...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes, you can do that. The only thing that does not get restored back to complete stock is recovery if you replaced the stock recovery with one of the custom recoveries on emmc from verygreen or me. I have a stock recovery zip that will put the stock recovery back on emmc if you want it completely back to stock after a CWM restore.

But you need to use CWM (either mine or verygreen's) to do the main backup and restore. At least one other user has said the TWRP recovery does not backup or restore properly. But CWM works perfectly.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jamus28:
This should be included in one if the OPs, but to boot to recovery from OFF,

Hold the NOOK button plus power until the distortion and cyanoboot appear.

Most androids use the volume keys plus power, but the nook HD+ is different.

Okay, I have CM10.1 installed and it's working well. I still can't get Zinio to work even after updating build.prop though. The app installs and launches but says the servers can't be reached. Anyone know how to work around that?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] libertus77:
Is that the app that is completely blocked for Nook? The one for which you have to edit build.prop to change it to a Kindle or something? Did ya try searching the thread for zinio?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] SCWells72:
Yeah, I think so. I changed the device to "nookhdplus" like the thread stated, but that didn't seem to resolve it. Should I use some other device name?

not understanding the first step about writing the cwm to the SD card

I've been reading without understanding. I'm trying to install CM 10.1 to the internal memory and I have a handful of SD cards. I gather the first step is to install CWM so I can boot into recovery so I can then install the 10.1 CM file. So how do you do this first step? Does the Sd card have to be formatted in a specific manner> Do you use the Roadkil disk image program or something else? Once the CWM is installed, then you wipe the card and then copy the CM and gapps to it, boot into recovery, and do the varios wipes and installs? I'm having a very hard time figuring out what to do since a lot changed with the 2.1 BN release with the Play store.

Thanks

I have the same issue with the 6/5 build but not with the 5/12 and 5/27 build (RC2). Attached is the portion of the log that matches the timestamp. (happened around 9:46 or so.) The situation:

Turn the screen back on from sleep

1. First try to unlock the screen, saw homescreen desktop in a flash and relocked again.

2. Tried a few times (maybe 3?) no go

3. Turn off screen, immediately turn back on and tried. No go.

4. Turn off screen, wait a few seconds and turn back on and retry.

5. Screen unlocked and back to home screen.

Usually this is fixed in 1 turn off and turn back on. However this time I had to do it twice.

*I'm going to flash the latest to see if this happens again. Not sure why I didn't see it in RC2 like others did. Maybe I was just lucky?

I did wipe the /data partition before flashing new builds every time and reflash gapps after flashing the new build.

Thanks for the help in advance.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Ogre6473:
Here's a tip that may apply to you. If you are using a smart cover and this happens again, close the cover then open it again. The tablet will wake just fine then.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:
Verygreen: I suspect many of us who use non-nook chargers, car chargers and external batteries would be grateful if you could make a program like the one you did on the last version of the rom for host mode that would allow us to turn on and off high-speed charging. We could easily make it clear to users that there is a risk of burning out a charger if you enable high-speed charging on a device that does not output sufficient amperage (at least 1 amp).

For those of you who don't care about high speed charging and think I'm off topic, I apologize in advance. But I think this would be of interest to many people who use the rom.

By the way, Verygreen. You've really done an amazing job with the rom!

Swap Sdcard and ExtSdCard

Is there a script that can be run at startup to swap the internal storage and MicroSD Card?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] View92612:
Thanks. I will try it if it happens again. So far it's doing just fine with the latest build without any errors.

To me it is fine to work around the issue. It is not hard to turn off and turn on the display. It doesn't take much time to fix it.

My concern is that some users may not be aware of any of the solutions and get stuck.

I'm not sure though if it is related to something in the core CM10.1 build...if so, it may be fixed before final release? My guess...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
I have been thinking of making one. I like the external SD to be the default for apps. I'll see what I can come up with.

All you need to do is modify the vold.fstab file. Do some research here first (search is your friend) :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
I don't think vold.fstab mods will work on this ROM. It has an emulated sdcard and does not use vold.fstab for internal storage. But I will experiment.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Ogre6473:
From what I can tell, the issue is that CM is not set up to support the wake on open function of smart covers. So it can sometimes cause issue with alerts like Alarms that turn on the display. The system then gets confused and doesn't know how to react to a secondary request to wake the device. I've seen other programs make minor issues with it when it is suddenly closed then later opened while playing music or video as well. I think that If someone else with more experience with making ROMS teamed up with verygreen, this could be fixed pretty easily and ROM development and performance would improve pretty quickly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] zwolf4444:
Now that the price has dropped on the HD+ again, I was thinking about picking one up. How smooth is native CM10.1? Is it smooth and stable enough to give to my not-super-techie wife?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] PC Jona:
thinking of doing the same thing. 150 is a crazy price lol.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
Editing the Vold .fstab seems to not work more than it works. I've had good luck using a ExtToSdCard script that I run with Smanager https://play.google.com/store/search?q=smanager for my Galaxy Tab 2.7. I believe if the rom has init.d support using Script Manager would not be required.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
It does have init.d support. That is what I was going to make, was a userinit.d script using the commands from that script.

I've used Mororola Xoom, Kindle Fire, Nexus 7 and Galaxy Tab. 2.7. The N+ with THIS rom is superior. The stock rom, even with the latest update, is already somewhat old. You won't have a camera, gps, or light sensor.. App developers won't make sure that their apps run on the Nook+.

The display is stunning and nimble and the size/shape of the tablet, like a hardcover book, is right. The MicroSD card permits extra storage capacity. Reader (Moon+), Internet (Chrome), PDA (CM 10.1), SMS (Mighty Text) and Music/Speakers (PowerAmp) and features in CM 10.1 x JB 4.2.2 are wonderful. This rom and this hardware are ahead of the curve and a value.

AND, what other device do you know of that has a beautifully designed hole in the case as a conversation piece?

That said, I wouldn't recommend a custom rom for a non techie. I've regretted each time I've done one for someone. Where do they go for help? What if they find a problem/bug? Where's the user's manual? Who cares about Host mode support? What's PIE? If you're reading the messages in XDA you are already somewhat of a techie and hobbyist.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] cdmoore74:
Only had the Nook HD+ for 24 hours and I want more. When can we expect some more options like Pacman, Liquid and AOKP? I know that before the price drop things were slow but Pacman and it's hybrid options would be very good on this tablet.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] View92612:
Agreed. I used to be in IT support and technical support for software companies, giving end users something like this can lead to disasters.

However, it was due to a bizarre UI bug in the stock rom that I decided to switch to CM10.1 on emmc.

Therefore I would only give stock Nook HD+ to a non-techie who would only use it for reading, web and relatively tolerant about slowness and minor bugs. There is a reason HD+ is on fire sale despite very decent hardware...

I'm also not sure how many end users would know to use the simple trick "turn display off and on" to workaround the bugs I encountered.

Today I made a mistake sending a large log using catlog in text mode using bluetooth which caused CM10.1 to soft reboot and stuck for a long time......I can't imagine my wife's reaction if she has to deal with this. I admit I'm a noob but I'm patiently learning. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
I am giving up for now on making a swap work. I got it to work on stock, but stock is ICS and does not have multi-user support. CM10.1 is JB and multi-user and internal memory storage is complicated by that. I can't seem to get it to work. Vold.fstab does not work, bind does not work and some of the complicating instructions are in the boot init.ovation.rc file which on emmc is part of the boot.img and very difficult to modify.

The only way to make the drives swap so that apps use the external SD by default is for verygreen to modify the boot files and he has indicated he does not want to do that for emmc installs because Google recommends against it.

I have a 32GB device so I have plenty of room for app files on internal memory so it is not a big deal for me.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Am I the only one who thinks that what's going on on cheap tablets (or in android phones in general) is profoundly moronic? They hire these big software teams that all they do is mangle the Google experience and eventually torpedo the sales... In essence you pay a team to make your product worse, there is no other way to see this whole skinning process. Rarely if ever it's better than the original (stock android) plus it makes it less stable less efficient and often times with less features...

B&N shot themselves in the foot with their skin ... The reader is more than decent and I can see the place of their exclusive market but everything else they did with their device is/was a straight abomination... I kinda fear this will be the last nook and it would be a shame because I always loved their *hardware* choices....
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
I am ignorant of what is done here.

I am wanting to buy another HD+ with 16 gb instead of the 32 I already have. This works on my Galaxy Tab 2, jb 4.1.2. It goes into /data folder and is executed with Smanager with 777 permissons. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1961097 My guess is it executes later in the boot process.

I don't understand this. The native google experience is far superior to the skins for a novice, and there is plenty of stuff around on how to use it. What bn or Amazon does to their hardware is make it incompatible with the world and limit its usefulness. I'd recommend a custom rom for everyone. Now they may have trouble installing it, but I can do that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
The issue is multi-user support introduced in 4.2.2 (CM10.1). I can mount the internal as external with bind, but cannot mount external as internal which is what is necessary for the apps to use the SD as default on this ROM.

Link not working in browser?

I have been using Dolphin 8.5.1, Firefox Beta, and Chrome with latest build.

Dolphin has been great almost all the time(desktop mode). Firefox is okay but once in a while some links do not work on the screen.

However if I go forward/back then those links would work again. (weird).

For some reason, Chrome was acting funny last night.

I tried to click on the "More" menu on Google.com and it does not work.

Even if I back out of Chrome and reopen it still doesn't work.

However if I switch immediately to Dolphin and go to google.com, it works without any issues.

Back to Chrome and try again still doesn't work. Firefox also had the same issue at the time.

But I tried again this morning everything seems to be okay. Not sure what happened....could it be google.com having problem on the mobile site? (since dolphin was in desktop mode.) It seems very unlikely...

I checked catlog and the only suspicious entries were deadzone: consuming errant click

I also suspected hardware defect but since it is working perfectly now, it shouldn't be.

Anyone having similar issues?

On a side note, having catlog is very nice because I discovered the following entry multiple times:

Unsafe Java script attempt to access frame with URL http://bs.serving-sys.com/.......

I apologize if this has already been asked, but I got a Poetic Slimline cover for my HD+ running the 06/08 build of CM10.1, and today it started doing something odd. When I open the cover, sometimes the screen doesn't come on automatically, and when then press the Home or Power hardware buttons, it either doesn't come on, or it comes on but then goes immediately back off, and then the screen may not even come on again without rebooting. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there some setting I need to tweak to make these play nicely together, or is this a known issue right now?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jamus28:
I have the larger slim book version of the case. The magnetic wake/sleep worked perfectly as intended. Some people are saying that cm10.1 doesn't work correctly with smart covers, but perhaps its just more sensitive to the location of the magnet.

I removed the magnet because I hate the feature, but I had none of the issues others are bringing up. Are there edge magnets on the slimline?

One thing to be wary of is waking the screen takes a second or two with the nook HD+. This is true for stock or cm with the button or smartcover.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] View92612:
Thanks. Mystery resolved. I reported this same issue earlier and was wondering why I didn't have the problem with RC2.

I recently bought a Poetic Slimbook Case and it must be the smart cover causing the problem.

My workaround has been:

Turn display off, wait a second or 2, turn display back on.

You shouldn't have to reboot to get it fixed. The above always works for me if I don't turn it back on too fast.

(The 1-2 seconds wait is important and faster than a reboot)

No gapps in EMMC build here?

Hey guys,

Used to use the hybrid sd format, but decided to go through this forum to establish an EMMC build through these directions (props to leapinlar for helping me find it), and went through the steps successfully.

One thing though- I am not finding the google play store. Was I supposed to install this from elsewhere?

Or is this what was meant by "market apps" issue in the first description? Or is there a gapps.zip that I can install via the bootloader?

TIA!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You need to go to goo.im and download gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and flash that just like you did the CM ROM. Then when you reboot, you can register with Google.

Just thought I'd share this quickly before updating. I was out of town for 5 days (with no wifi) so I decided to see how the battery did while sleeping the entire time. I left and the Nook had 63% battery life remaining. Returned almost exactly 5 days later and it was at 54% remaining. Not too shabby, I think.

Now I am going to go install the newest version.
