I pulled them from the Nexus 10 build.prop, so I don't know if all of them are relevant to our device.

Most interesting is ro.hwui.disable_scissor_opt=true. Android.com states that disabling scissor opt can benefit SGX 540. We have the SGX 544, so maybe there's speed increase here for us.

I didn't run any benchmarks. I just used scrolling on Slickdeals.net to test. Before, I was getting long pauses on that website. Now, the front page scrolls from the top to the bottom without any stuttering. Sears.com is also much more smooth now. Keyboard no longer pauses while I'm typing in any search boxes on websites.

I am on 7/10 and updated to the new Google Maps 7 and it seems to have cured the intermittent re-boots which caused the Recent Apps to appear empty. So far 24 hrs have passed and no soft reboots (almost always when it is sleeping with the cover closed).

Attached is the logs for when it was on old GMaps and had about 4 reboots per day.

Hm, this does not look good, there are all signs of memory corruption and such.

Does it operate stably in stock? I suspect you might be having RAM issues.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] SCWells72:
I thought I'd share some experiences I've had with the HD+ running CM10.1 (though I've seen similar in Carbon) recently, in particularly some during a long, intercontinental plane ride this weekend. I'm still experiencing considerable lag from time to time, though other times things seem very smooth. This lag manifests sometimes launching/switching apps, but other times it starts while using an app that's been otherwise working perfectly.

For example, I was watching a Google Play HD movie on the flight with zero issues until about 1.5 hours in, and then suddenly the video started to become SUPER choppy (maybe 1 fps...at best?) while the audio continued on without a hitch. I switched back to the launcher (Nova Prime) and found the entire system to be lagging as if something was spiking the CPU. I managed to stumble-tap my way to a terminal window so that I could run "top" to see what process(es) might be spiking, but everything looked well-behaved even though the system was continuing the perform horribly. Terminal and top were the top processes and neither was consuming more than 3-5% of the CPU. I ran logcat but didn't see anything useful in the logs, either. I was only able to get things back into a good state by rebooting the tablet.

Something is obviously getting into a bad state, and it's almost as if it's a degenerative thing over time. Since I don't see anything useful in "top", my suspicion is that it's something at the kernel or driver level.

I'm happy to continue to debug this if/when it happens again, but I was hoping that someone here might have some thoughts on the best way to determine the culprit(s) aside from what I'm already doing. Any suggestions?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
I suspect this is more in line with not CPU, but IO load?

What was the load average when you run top?

Unfortunately I don't see any good tool in stock android to monitor IO load, but it will manifest itself in elevated load average and processes that don't consume cpu, but are in D state (waiting for io to complete).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] SCWells72:
Unfortunately this happened late Saturday night/early Sunday morning somewhere over the Atlantic and I didn't snapshot anything from top and didn't notice the load average at the time. You raise a good question, though...since it's just Linux, I did just confirm that Android has iostat, vmstat, etc., so when I do see this happen again, I'll try to get stats from those guys to see what might be going on. I'll definitely try to provide any useful diagnostic info that I can because, like many others, I'd love to see us get to the bottom of this and fix it to minimize (ideally eliminate) the lag on this otherwise outstanding device/ROM! Hopefully more to come...

UPDATE: I also just installed "System Monitor Lite" from the Play Store and will see if that reports anything useful when things get into this state as well. It looks like even the free version supports background monitoring with report generation, though I have no problem paying $3 for the full version if it helps diagnose this issue.

Related to wifi reboot problem?

Might be from a double pointer as it was acting like that before crashing?

No issue with double pointer on reboot along with no cleaning.

Changes:

- updated wifi drivers to R5.SP3.06

Also I am interested to see if people with wifi problems got things better, and people with no wifi problems did not get any new problems.

I will need to try it at my GFs house to see also because it was having issues with her router too. My router is a vizio router. I ended up powering the router off and powering the nook off. and it still would connect but after a few second of loading a webpage or downloading an app from google play it would time out. then I pushed the "auto" button on the back of the router (its the thing you do when you want to sync the device to the router when you can't enter a password) and did the same on the table under wifi settings and Boom it worked.

But it also ate through the battery on the nook. This morning when I did it I think it went through 20% of the battery in 30 minutes and I was only doing some browsing checking forums. I have the nook hd+ back on the charger and will report back when I know more. I am running the 7/11 version of CM10.1

Also I want to give a shout out and a big thumbs up to [MENTION=3654172]verygreen[/MENTION] for taking the time to develop/port CM10.1 over to the Nook HD+ Even at the $50 I paid for the nook (office max super sale) if there was no CM for it I doubt I would have gotten it. If you have paypal PM me and I shoot ya a couple of bucks for taking the time to work on this

Yes, but it's only doing anything if you run the app, so I don't see any downsides in shipping it by default.

I updated to 7/16 earlier today, but wanted to confirm the results first: Wifi seems better, but the device is very laggy. Dolphin as example takes about a minute to load and a lot of delayed touch actions.

It has gone from about 20% of the time lag to over 90% lag. I guess I need to revert back to a previous rom besides 7/12 and 7/16. Appreciate the effort though! :)

I am going to first clear the caches to see if that is the issue (I did not when I updated).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
On 7/12 I changed davlik vm settings to use somewhat more memory, though I do not see any negative effect locally and I don't thikn I heard a mass of unsatisfied voices after 7/12, but in any case

If lag persists try to roll just those back in /system/build prop to:

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=384m
dalvik.vm.heaptargetutilization=0.75
dalvik.vm.heapminfree=2m
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=8m
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rushless:
I think the best mix is probably the 7/12 rom with the wifi drivers in the 7/16 build.

If the 7/12 rom is the same settings as 7/16, my lag is some other issue, since the 7/12 rom was not bad for lag. The issue with the 7/12 was the very slow wifi. I wiped the caches including dalvik and waiting for a reboot and app update process now.

Update: Definitely better now (still on 7/16). I guess all them updates without clearing caches before rebooting might have caught up with me.

It is hard to peg the sporadic lag. It kind of reminds me of the W95 and XP days of virtual memory issues when cache would go to the hard drive and there would be lag issues. Seems the combination of the low ram and GPU not designed for 1080p data pushing might be the reason or a big weight of it.

Both 7/12 and 7/16 work fine for me. I did some speed tests with the speedtest.net app before and after the update. On a 50/5 cable connection with the tablet about 20' from the router.

7/12 - 2 tests

32298 down / 5546 up / 36 ms

33587 down / 5574 up / 35ms

7/16 - 2 tests

15718 down / 4978 up / 49ms

16203 down / 5214 up / 46ms

The new drivers seem to have slowed my wifi down a tad. No real complaints though, who really needs more than a 16mbit connection on a tablet? Just thought I would post an observation. All tests were done with the tablet sitting in exactly the same spot to the same server within about 8 minutes of each other. I have run the test a few more times on 7/16 with similar results.

Ran the same test on my computer just now on speedtest,net. It is connected to the same wireless N connection from the same room.

It never happened in older version of the ROMs.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rushless:
Looking at the previous post trend, it seem the recent changes have caused some form of wifi issue for some. The problem I had with the 7/12 build was when apps would update and take old school dial up speed and sometimes spike up to decent speed a few seconds and then go back down to dial-up speeds for most of the download duration. Web browsing was a blast from the past.

The sweet spot seems to be a few updates ago for wifi. The battery life in sleep mode was great and so was wifi speeds, plus no apparent posts of wifi issues. I "fear" though the lag issues we have are the nature of a 1080p display with low ram and a GPU designed for 720p display max for efficient output. When the 4470 was designed, 720p was the top ceiling at the time.

People will read the specs and say it supports 1080p, but that is for video media output and not managing / pushing data to the pixels. I think we may need to accept the Nook HD+ is no multi tasker, and appreciate what it can do for the price. Were it not for the fine efforts with CM 10.1, I would have returned the Nook, in spite of the price.

I think something is wrong with Settings->System->Buttons and Layout

Sensitivity of sofkeys sometimes becomes poor. I don't know what causes it. If I open and close the padlock, the sensitivity returns to normal. Launcher is Nova Prime.

I have had almost no problems with screen sensitivity that others are reporting. When I have had problems with sensitivity, lockup, or spontaneous reboot, Chrome has always been running. I have a 32 gb HD+ and I'm wondering if my absence of reported problems is related to that. I don't run games.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Windsor1959:
I have had an HD for some time, but opted for the HD+ after the latest sale. I have noticed a very slight lag in some apps on the HD+ compared to the HD (I'm comparing the two with CM 10.1 on emmc on both). The 7/16 build on my plus seems to have helped the wifi a bit, since wifi seemed slower on the plus than on the HD. I did a speed test for both, and they are almost equal now. That being said, I agree that the plus has to strain a bit to give us 1080p with its other hardware being what it is. Nevertheless, I am very pleased with my plus. The apps I use most run fine. The screen resolution is very impressive, especially given the price now. VLC Streamer works great for video. I have CM 10.1 on emmc, and stock on sd, all thanks to verygreen.

after the 7/11 update with the dalvik vm settings, my tab would quickly become unusable after cycling through a few apps. I applied these settings (and boosted the screen dpi to 320 as I've done with the last few ROMs) and now it's back to normal. Not super zippy, but plenty fast and perfectly usable even after cycling through quite a few apps. I suspect some of us are running out of memory with the heapsize set at 512MB and the sweet spot is something less than that. 384 certainly works, though it may mean more aggressive garbage collection...

this latest 'data' is on the 7/16 ROM, btw. thanks for the memory settings!

I just want to report that my standby battery has been draining quicker than it has in the past. I don't update all the time and I'm currently running 7/10. Wifi reports that it goes to sleep but I've dropped about 10% in a day without using it. I seem to remember having good battery life for a while after an update (and I didn't update for a while after) and priorto the 7/10 I was on 7/8 and before that 6/30 and then 6/29. So I'm thinking it was the 6/30 that I was having great battery life. I remember I had 7hr 55min screen time with about a week of uptime prior to charging (ran the battery to 1%).

Not sure if much chafed battery wise between those releases but I figured I would note my observation.

i've been doing this stuff for three to four years and it ( very much ) depends on what you're running in the background. do you know what services are eating milliamps in the background on your setup ? is it the same set before and after ? there are free apps that'll list them all for you... greenify ? i am very ( very ! ) grateful that verygreen is trying to make it better and better...

and the 'states' of the device... deep sleep is what you want to see it in all of the time that it is not turned on. is there a service or driver keeping it out of deep sleep ?

I have tried making the Dalvik adjustments listed, but it will not save. It errors or says not the right root level. Using esexplorer and rootexplorer and both fail. I obviously have root, but still not working. Device can be a laggy mess. Spoke too soon earlier. Apps like Dolphin and Play can slow the device to a crawl. Wifi also is still slow. Not as slow as 7/12, but 7/16 does not seem as good as the wifi, several updates back.

Seems the best rom is scattered amongst several. Better though to have the fine effort though than stock 2.1. All is good :)
