The catch is the reason most of us got the HD+ was mainly for the display. Getting the HD 720p does the same thing in a more stable way ;)

I can see the value in doing this for Android games, but not for emulators or any other function. Display is too 'purtee'.

As far as emulators, the Nook HD+ is literally just as fast as my S4 and faster than my lower res Tegra 3 tablets. This includes open gl 3D like with PSX, N64oid, PSPPP and Drastic. Nook chokes with any game that tries to push data to all pixels rather than scale. Asphalt 7 is an example. I shudder to think of trying Asphalt 8 on the Nook. Yikes.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pinguy1982:
That's the beauty of Resolution Changer Pro. You don't have to settle on one resolution. You can change between resolutions depending on what you are doing. The benchmarks I have run have shown that running at 900p gives the same performance as an Samsung S3. Running at 720p gives you similar results as the Nexus 10.

The GPU in the Nook HD+ is better then what's in the S3, but the CPU is only slightly more powerful then what's in the S2. It also only has 1 GB of RAM.

The device was truly built from the ground up to be a Magazine/E-reader. The specs of the device are odd for a full blown tablet because it has a really good GPU but a mid-range CPU.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rushless:
Cpu though has more raw power than the Tegra 3. Emulators are all faster on the HD+ than my two 720p T3 tablets. Especially PPSPP. This is in spite of the 1080p. MAME as example is ALL Cpu, but faster on the HD+ as well.

Thank you.

This is not needed if I'm using TWRP correct?

This is not GUI?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Do not install this because it will replace your TWRP. It is CWM which is not GUI. And you don't need it anyway because TWRP works with cmupdater already.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
There is a magnet in the case that can be detected. On past CM10.1 versions the magnet worked but had an issue where you had to open it twice before the screen unlock worked. I don't know if that is fixed in the latest version.

That app did not improve my device but actually had stability issues and the app itself would lock up. Not to mention awful battery bleed in sleep mode. That app appears to contantly be polling the chipset. IMO, not a good app based on results. I uninstalled and will treat it as a $2 lottery ticket.

Seems for stability this needs to be at kernel level and a feature the GPU is designed for. As far as performance, before as example my values were about 2,700 for quadrant and the same with 1800X1200. The apprent logic that a 12% decrease in pixels should help, but I saw the opposite with 10.1 emmc 0809, 402m heap size and 16bit transparency. Perhaps my set-up IS the best fir for the device- using the presumption the resolution app should result in improvement.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RageAgain:
I actually only use Resolution Changer Pro to allow me to load the data files for Gameloft/EA games that give server errors when attempting to download data files. It has allowed me to load the files for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, Asphalt 6, ME Infiltrator, and Dead Space, and all of them are playable at original screen resolution once the data files are loaded.

I have just reduced my dalvik heap size ( on CM 10.2 - 092513 ) to: "dalvik.vm.heapsize=384m", and it seems to speed some things up a bit. Some are seemingly quite a bit faster/smoother. Also, all of my apps ( Kindle included ) that worked at 512m are working at 384m.

charging light stays at yellow even when fully charged?

On the latest stable rom but the charging light stays at yellow even when the battery is fully charged according to the machine. I had this problem with the previous RC2 rom as well. What is the fix?

Another problem I am having is that when the machine is on wall charger, the screen flicks every now and then when in app (say Youtube). Also, I have been having this problem with the previous roms built in July/August.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] manojm:
Same issues here.

The yellow light issue is minor and I have seen it on Nook stock also. The flicker issue is bothersome and I have had that on CM 10.1 ROMs. Hope it gets fixed.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tebra:
I also have these 2 bugs.

For the charging bug, light turns green +/- 30 minutes after the system says battery fully charged. It is like the hardware power manager and the android software are not sync.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BJGunner:
Ditto. I noticed this on mine as well.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] hyperxguy:
I believe those "bugs" are from B&N (unique to the NookHD+).

I get those on all 4 units I bought, on any ROMs (including stock).

I think the charging light is doing its job well, over-charges the unit a bit (100% reported by the Tab isn't actually "full" yet).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BJGunner:
Definitely did not get the charging light bug with the stock rom and don't think I had it also with the rom back in May/June.

Restoring NOOK ROM

First of all, thank you very much for all the fantastic help on this forum.

I followed the instructions "Remove card from slot. Insert card into a reader in your PC. Copy the 'clockworkmod' folder from the card onto your PC and zip it up. Rename it to "Nook Stock ROM Backup". I then installed CMW to stock ( emmc).

I need to return to the original Nook ROM. However when I go into recovery and try and install the zipped Nook Stock ROM Backup, the installation fails?

What have I done/ am I doing wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] manojm:
Refer to leapinlar's posting on this matter. He has given correct zip files etc. What you did as a last step was incorrect IMHO. Good luck to you.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] geraldcheyne:
Thanks. Can you point me to leapinlar's posting?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read items 5 and 6. They will take you back to pure stock.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RageAgain:
I use:

Width=800

Height=1280

DPI=160

Since I only use it to download data so far I do not care about aspect ratio.

I am, However, currently running CM 10.2 - 100613.

Also, I use some build.prop mods, which help me in various ways and got BackStab working for me.

They are:

ro.product.model=GT-I9250

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

and I also still modify my dalvik heapsize:

dalvik.vm.heapsize=384m

So, in some ways, there is no telling how all of this interacts. I am not saying I necessarily recommend any of this to others - as always, your mileage may vary.... :p
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] felacio:
Dude, you sir are my hero. I didn't have to change the build.prop or anything. Just changed resolution to 880w and 1280h and started the app. didn't need to restart the tablet or anything and it just started downloading. how odd.

I use Titanium Backup and did NOT restore data, just the app in case anyone else is needed help with this. Again, thanks man!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] zsero:
I bought 2 nook HDs. They have been running perfectly on the stock rom.

I have updated them to CM 10.1, and everything works fine. It is really surprising how fast this tablet is! Thanks a lot for the work you've put in it!

I have only one huge problem: the two tablets cannot connect to wireless router at the same time! Actually they can connect, but the connection doesn't work.

I checked and they have the same MAC address. It might be because I used backup and restore in CWM to clone the ROM to each other and it might have cloned the MAC address. Or something else, I don't know.

I think this is a bug, as the MAC should not be cloned but should be read from the hardware. Is it possible that CM 10.1 doesn't read the MAC from the hardware but uses some built-in or random generated MAC?

Is this a known problem? Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks!

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Mineturtle33:
CM10.3 will not exist. It will be CM11, because 4.4 is a completely new version.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] manojm:
Great! I am not up on these designations. It was just a guess. Anyways, do you know or have you heard anything about any new features of KitKat? Wonder Nook HDs are capable of new OSs?

Thanks for your info.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Mineturtle33:
Of course it'll be capable. My old Nook color can fairly smoothly run 4.3, and I've got an HD now, but I'm going to hold out on modding it until CM11 is out.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] SCWells72:
I finally got up the guts to put CM10.1 on my replacement Nook HD+ after bricking the previous one (trim against the bad emmc), mostly because the stock ROM was so quirky and sluggish even when rooted and pretty heavily configured. It's been running very smoothly for me, but I'm still seeing one issue that I've seen ever since the very first time that I ever put a CM ROM on an HD+...basically over time the wallpaper degrades, and with it the performance of the launcher degrades.

When I say the wallpaper "degrades", I mean that it starts out looking great fitted to the screen, and then after launching a few apps, rotating the screen back and forth, etc., it continues to zoom in on the wallpaper image as the background, and the launcher transitions get slower and slower. Eventually it just punts and shows the original default green leaf wallpaper. If at any point I change the wallpaper manually or using an app to do so automatically, the performance becomes smooth again for a time until it degrades again.

It appears that Extended Desktop and full!screen+ exacerbate this issue by changing the non-system bounds of the screen, but I see the problem even with these features disabled just by launching apps and rotating the screen, just at a slower pace.

All along this has seemed to be some kind of resource leak given the gradual nature of the degradation and the fact that resetting the wallpaper seems to reset (though not fix) the issue. I've tried using different launchers (I primarily use Nova Launcher Prime), disabling anything that changes the screen resolution, using live wallpapers instead, etc., but the problem always manifests. Oh, and I've seen the same problem with CM10.2.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this problem? Does anyone else even see it? Thanks for any insights you might provide!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TonyBigs:
That's probably the rotation issue. Performance becomes very sluggish to the point of being unusable. Try turning off auto-rotate.

Hey, considering getting the HD+ to replace my 2012 N7. Mostly due to the fact that the screen is to small for me, and no expandable storage is pretty terrible. However, CM is a must for me, so I have a few questions if you guys could help me out.

1) Are there any issues in the 10.1.3 stable build that interfere with normal daily use? Wifi dropping, random reboots, the works.

2) Is the issue SCWells72 mentioned in post #2160 present for everyone? Or was that just an unique case? Cause no auto rotate will kinda be a deal-breaker.

3) Does Shadowgun Deadzone and Modern Combat 4 run fairly smoothly? I play those a lot, and they work (kinda sorta) great on my N7, even if it completely kills the battery life doing so.

Thanks for helping me out in advance!

10.1.1 (stable) working for me

I've been running 10.1.3 (stable) for a couple of weeks, and have not run across any issues that would interfere with daily use. Wifi is steady / reliable, auto-rotate works just fine, etc. I'm very happy with the h/w + s/w combo.

Can't comment on your Q3 - I don't really use the Nook for games.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] SCWells72:
Okay, so others have seen this. Is this a consistent problem or only on certain devices/configurations? Is there some way to avoid this issue without disabling auto-rotate? I mean...this is a tablet...it's meant to be rotated! Having to disable that feature is a pretty significant shortcoming.

It really does appear to be some kind of resource leak or progressive state corruption to me. Is there some type of diagnostic information I could provide as it gets into this state that might be useful to pinpointing the root cause and determining a fix? This really does seem to be the last major issue with this ROM now that the soft reboots have been addressed, but man...it's definitely a really annoying issue!

I'm happy to help in any way I can, but I just don't know what's already been tried and to what level of success.

i'm honesty loving Slimbean. zero issues. it's stable without any random closes or reboots. wifi is fast. my only issues have been i had a bit of trouble restoring apps with Titanium Backup (during the initial move from Carbon), and it does not have a tablet ui mode. i ended up staying though because it's the only one i've found without the rotation lag problem.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I would agree completely. I I love the Slimbean ROM and have had no lag issues in the least. And quite frankly, I don't care about tablet UI so that makes absolutely zero difference to me. Some people do care but I really love Slimbean. I can watch HD video without stuttering, and everything else I try 'just works' I highly recommend it.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] SCWells72:
I installed it today and so far, so good. It appears that Slimbean has its own navigation bar vs. Cyanogenmod which I assume just uses the one from AOSP. I wonder if that could be related to the difference where the rotation bug is concerned.

Boot animation tear, UI lag and gallery FC

I'm running latest stable build of CM for Nook HD+.

I've noticed 3 problems:

1) When Nook is booting, 1st screen shows Nook, than the screen tears and switches to CyanogenMod. (No biggie, just an aesthetic element)

2) Desktop experience lags. I've installed Nova launcher to replace CM desktop, and it feels laggy, animations aren't smooth. Ie. when switching between apps, or opening/closing an app the animation is laggy.

3) I had a problem with gallery not showing any Google+ albums. I've managed to resolve this with help from THIS THREAD. Now i have a following issue - when i try to assign photo to some contact, gallery app force-closes.

05/12 ROM is excellent!

Hello,

I have the 05/12 ROM installed for a day now and it is excellent! It has super performance, deep sleeps well and is appears easy on the battery. All my workflows that I did on my Nook Tablet are supported and I have encountered zero issues.

The only suggestion I have would be to provide a recovery image larger that 1GB so there is space to do a backup of the stock ROM prior to altering the internal emmc. I first wrote the 1GB recovery to a 8GB SD card, saved the boot files and then repartitioned so it used the whole 8GB. This didn't boot so I went back to the 1GB to prove that it would boot and try a backup anyway but ran out of space. So I repartitioned to 4GB, this booted fine and I successfully backed up the ROM. After this, the install of the 05/12 ROM went smoothly.

My only complaint ... what happened to the stock Jellybean wallpaper!? ;)

Awesome work guys!

Thanks so much!

Use the workaround in this thread - http://desk.n2acards.com/customer/portal/articles/961914-how-can-i-get-zinio-to-work-with-jelly-bean-. Not sure what the side effects of changing the model/manufacturer are but I haven't experienced any problems yet.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] aszid:
I have a pile of SD cards at home, and I don't have a single one that will boot to recovery *every* time. What you did was correct, increasing the partition to 8gb should work fine. Getting your SD card to boot reliably doesn't appear to be related to that. FYI, I have an 8gb CWM card that i created using the same method as you, which does function.

Of course the better solution would just to put recovery on the internal memory, and you can backup to whatever SD card you want.
