Hm, actually I just reproduced the "dimmed screen in cyanoboot" - it seems that it only happens when untethered for me.

Has nothing to do with GFX apparently.

5/11 update does not fix it. I'll investigate further tomorrow.

First off, thanks to everyone working on this ROM for all their hard work, and for making my Nook feel like an even better purchase.

Second (apologies if this has been discussed before, I looked back through the thread, but didn't find any mention) I've noticed that sometimes when I rotate the device from landscape to portrait, the wallpaper gets stuck in landscape, resulting in black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, is there a workaround?

New binary update cm-10.1-20130710-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip

No changes from me again, just based on CM-10.1.1 for the security fixes.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bobyang:
thanks a lot!

by the way, I just wonder if anyone having a a brightness problem like me? I went to "setting", "Display" "Brightness" and change to really dim or really bright but it all looks the same to me and "automatic brightness" is unchecked.

thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Hm, I do see this myself too.

The kernel brightness is not being updated for some reason, so I'll dig into it. I know it used to work in the past, though.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] deckoff:
A few word on dpi - seems that numbers above 250 force google play into phone mode - is that so , or is that only me?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Ok, the problem is - you have autobrightness set, even if it's not shown in settings. I am not sure how this happens yet, but will dig some more.

How to fix: flick the top right of the screen down to open quicksettings, in there you'll see a brightness tile with icon like a mini-sun with A letter on it (that's the Auto part), press the icon and the brightness slider will appear that works. From then on brightness will not be in auto mode anymore and settings control will also work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bobyang:
NICE! it works in that way by using quicksettings.

thanks!

I'm trying to use usbhost on my card reader. I plug it in and then select usbhost and get the following message in logcat. Is my SD reader not comparable?

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
This is totally unrelated.

Check your dmesg to see if your cardreader claims it needs too much power. If so, hide it behind usb hub (unpowered is fine).

The screen adjustment apk verygreen is bad ass. mine literally works flawlessly now. you are the man. it's incredible what this tablet has become. Picked up another one at office max for $99 dollars. They had a few still. If more people only knew about this ROM and site they would fly off the shelves. quite a few out there now though. hopefully you get more coffee money out of the deal. there are 3 of you here that deserve a few bucks. Maybe you should ask Barnes and Noble lol:)

I've noticed the power button menu option to Reboot Recovery is not working here, it just reboots the tablet. Shouldn't CWM come up? Also what is Reboot Bootloader for? Haven't tried that.

Just tried the "Reboot to Recovery" and my nook has rebooted and started up in TWRP
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] MechaGen:
I think you need to turn it on in "System Settings > System > Power Menu".
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Sherip:
Everything in that menu is already turned on, except extended desktop (which is dimmed). I don't think Reboot Recovery would have been on the menu otherwise. I guess I could try disabling and reenabling it tho, if its not broken for everyone.

Edit: Thanks, that did the trick! Sweet! Also enabled expanded desktop in System then System Power Menu. Liked it.

I tried setting up ADB last night and didn't have any luck ("adb devices" returned nothing) I didn't have time to search and figure out what I did last time to get it working.

I'm heading out for vacation early tomorrow morning so probably won't get a chance to look into it until I get back. But I did confirm that I still can't mount /sdcard in CWM. Anyway, thanks for your help and I hope to look into it further next weekend.

Until then I will just keep my download and flashing directory on the emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] blautens:
FWIW, I'm running the 0708 build (flashed on top of the 0704 build) and using Nova Launcher, and the screen sensitivity settings out of the box are so much better than before.

I've also noticed that the Nova Launcher seems to make screen transitions smoother and applications launch faster. Back to back to back testing - the results seem consistent and repeatable (although I have no quantifiable metrics - just observation).

Rebooting alone does not make an improvement for me. I'm using Build.Prop editor to test different densities....although I kind of like 280, I'm not sure I see a performance difference. It is easier to read, though.

Anyway, kudos to you - the 0704 build combined with your screen changes zip was a real landmark, and this continues the pattern. Good stuff, thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Jack45:
Lotsa luck with ADB. I worked on getting my PC to handshake with the HD+ forever, then finally created a solution that works for me. Elegant? Maybe not, but it works.

Made sure Android debugging, USB debugging notify, and ADB over network are checked under Developer options, Debugging. Noted address presented on Nook after checking the ADB over network box. At a command prompt I type adb connect 172.16.0.148 (or whatever address ADB over network reflects). Connect nook to PC. ADB devices command will recognize Nook.

BTW - Calibre is a fine way to transfer files. http://calibre-ebook.com/
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] phammichael:
I've found that the Hotplug CPU governor gives me a very responsive system without any noticeable sacrifice of battery power compared to Interactive or Ondemand.

Nova launcher also gives me a smoother and faster experience. And I'm running it at 257 DPI.

New binary snapshot cm-10.1-20130712-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip

Changes:

- Rebased to cm-10.1.2 for security fixes

- Added apple hid support, so apple keyboards now work too

- Added a way to save touch focus settings (this will need a changeto touch settings ap, and is useless without it for now)

- Adopted different davlik settings from 10" 2G tablet defaults, I think those work a bit better, provide a bit bigger heap size.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tobyq:
Just updated to the 7/12 version on both my HD and HD+ and now both have issues with the lock screen. It's always in portrait mode. Used to rotate, now if I'm in landscape mode, and power on, it shows up in portrait mode on the lock screen. I can rotate around all I want and it never goes landscape. Once I unlock it flips to landscape fine. Hit the power to turn it off, then back on again, still while in landscape mode, and then the lockscreen is back in portrait mode.

Looks like a new bug, worked fine previously on the 7/8 version (did not try 7/10)

Is there some new option I'm missing regarding lock screen rotation?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bckrupps:
yea I noticed that. I dirty flashed then cleared everything and the problem was still there. us excited early adopters lol
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
lockscreen not rotating is an option now:

Can i trouble you to add MD5 Checksum for the ROMs please? Thanks!

Thanks for the new drop, vg. Is this update to the touch settings app going to be available soon?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
I am still looking how to incorporate this during the build process.

I am looking into this, a bit more pain than I expected.

I tried it and I see little benefit compared to the other available schedulers.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] :
CM's launcher kept crashing and messing up my widgets... it looks like any other launcher (not using nova) will possibly work better. No dpi changes here, and the UI is smooth so far. True stuff.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] al mon:
I use ADW EX and have had no launcher crashes. I have had random system reboots usually while the device is in deep sleep. I know this because I purposely leave apps running and when I wake the device and click on Recent Apps - nothing shows up. Plus my battery graph shows where these crashes are. Typically about 4 a day.

What is the best tool to capture the logs so we can find a fix? I'm sure this is happening to others as well.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Jd6J0r:
CatLog is a good tool for the logs.

Maps is a known source of soft reboots.

Flickering in apps

Hi, I have this rom installed and all seems to be working well, except I have flickering in most if not all apps while plugged into the charger.

I have searched and seen other people posting similar findings but not resolutions.

I was just wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
if it's a real reboot, get /proc/last_kmsg file and post it somewhre.

If it's not (i.e. no /proc/last_kmsg present), then most likely you have android ui crashing, logcat shortly after that happened might have some clues. So far I saw reports of google maps causing file descriptor leakage (hopefully fixed with the recent update?)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
...I rather prefer PIE as it used to be up until older itterations of CM10.1 . Is there any quick way to extact it from there and inject it into this rom? (in newer itterations of PIE they removed the feature of being able to remove the home button, an entirely useless button for us nook owners, since we have the physical one, and for some reason I keep pressing it by mistake)...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Evanescense:

My wifi reception appears to have taken a significant hit. I was three bars in my bedroom, but now bounce from one to two. By one bar, I mean the first (blue dot). Wifi is slower too.

My wife has the HTC Flyer and we usually have similar range and speed, but not since the newest update. Will go back to the previous CM I was using and see if a fluke.

Another hopefully useful tool for Nook HD and HD+, this one does not require any special kernels for a change:

Volume adjuster, with this one you get control over two separate (but placed one after another) amplifiers in the Nook, plus separate gain control for internal speaker, earphones and headsets.

Play with the sliders while some sort of a background music is playing and once you are satisfied with the result, press "save", "reset to defaults" will reset all values to original defaults temporarily (you'll need to press save to remember these values again).

If you don't like the results, exit the app, terminate it (by e.g. sliding it away from the recent app list) and then start again, and it'll reset to previously remembered defaults (this should be a button too, I guess, but I cannot find a good place for it so far with my limited android layout knowledge).

The values that you saved with the "save" button will survive reboots too.

For those who were using volume rollback zip, you don't need to do this anymore, just save whatever defaults work best for you, the rollback zip default for media is 2 dB (instead of current 12), but now you have even more control over all these settings, so feel free to tune it to your fit.

NookHDVolumeAdjuster-1.apk

Hey verygreen I donated again to get you some more energy drinks. Normally I am quiet about these things but I wanted to encourage others to do the same. You turned what was considered a moderately crappy tablet into one of the best deals out there and put a ton into this and you are relentless in perfecting every little detail. that's awesome and appreciated. for people on the fence he never asked but toss him a few bucks if you haven't or if you can. he as well as a couple others here are great devas. thanks again. lots of deals on tablets lately but the price and screen on the nook HD + is incredible. thanks again. hope I can do more at some point.

Nobody else having slow down / lag issues? When trying to do other tasks whole updating apps as example the device bogs down to a delay ridden crawl. Kind of reminds of the old DX100 computer days (pre pentium) when the cpu did most things in series and juggled them to seem like it was parallel threading tasks.

The device does not get warm when doing this, so not a cpu load issue. Perhaps a low memory or thread issue? Had I not owned 4400 series phones and tablets in the past to compare to, I would think it was a chipset issue. Those devices though were fine. This device at the moment seems like it has problems with more than one task thread at once.

Currently on 07/12 build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bschrib:
You're just experiencing the joys of slower eMMC; this issue is actually prevalent through most top end Android devices as well. The memory controller these chip sets use doesn't help things either.

I've read you can tweak some of the software parameters to help alleviate the issue however its ultimately an issue of hardware.

Build issues with wifi

Hello Verygreen,

I'm still not able to build a fully functional ROM and I'm running out of ideas for how to debug.

I can build a bootable ROM but the wifi refuses to work and bluetooth (BT) will initially work and can be paired to another device but will eventually become disabled after turning on/off several times. This problem exists from before you restructured your repo and I had to include and compile the B&N BT code to today with your restructured repo where you include the precompiled BT firmware.

I'm using a Fedora 19 virtual machine and I can build fully functional ROMs for my Nook Color, Samsung Galaxy S phone and Nook Tablet. I use the same directory to build these ROMs in addition to the Nook HD+. Attached are my build scripts. I run the rep_enema.sh script first and then the particular script for the ROM of interest. The other ROMs have a similar scripts.

My debugging:

Compared the contents (files) of your ROM with mine to see if there are missing or extra files - your 0712 ROM is same as my 0713 ROM.

Built the ROM with Oracle JAVA 6, Oracle JAVA 7 and Open JDK 7 (Fedora default) - wifi not working on all ROMs.

Restored from backup my orginal Fedora 17 VM and built a HD+ ROM - same result, wifi not workking. (I thought that maybe the advanced kernel (3.9) on F19 may be the problem because a F19 update lost the kernel headers and the build aborted. So I incorrectly concluded that there are some external dependancies with the build platform.)

Reviewed and compared the dmesg log (attached) with yours and see "wl1271_sdio: probe of mmc2:0001:2 failed with error -16" (line 507). So I checked lsmod output that see that my ROM doesn't insert module wl12xx_sdio. I forced the load of this module using insmod from a terminal - did not help.

Changed my manifest to look at your development branch - wifi still doesn't work.

But, I am sure that I am missing something or doing something wrong that obvious and simple.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

True to some degree and the sandbox design of the byte code layer that Android uses facilitates some level of bottlenecking as well. Systemic issue.

In comparison though, I have had 4430 and 4470 devices. They bog down perhaps 20%, where the HD+ does so at 80% or higher. Seems very series task oriented. Could be i/o or free ram (combo perhaps) issues indigenous to the HD+ hardware design. Stock got all boggy too, so not a CM 10.1 exclusive. The general feeling the high res and low ram is a key issue is probably a a big part of the answer. TF700 bogs some, but the gpu is clocked higher to compensate and the iPad 4 uses its relatively massive gpu to leverage almost everything away from ram and the cpu.

I guess where I also use the S3 and now S4 and there is little lag with the S3 and zero lag with the S4 (if there is any, I do not notice) it stands out more. They both have 2GB of ram.

The good news is for series tasks like web, video and games, CM 10.1 makes the device great. Just avoid updating apps while trying to do anything else :)

Reading comics on the HD+ is a near Zen experience :) I prefer to my iPad 4, since no iTunes interface needed- just drag & drop.

I am now experimenting with forcing gpu and turning off hardware overlays to see if this helps out. Initial results appear to be better, but high chance of a placebo effect.

The power draw while asleep must have been a fluke, since not doing it now.
