[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] View92612:
I just charged it for the first time(since RC4) this morning and it is working fine. Did you have the same problem with RC2 or RC3?

I noticed screen flickering in settings menu is gone with RC4. (It was a problem with 5/12 and 5/27 builds)

I have seen a charging problem when I put in a non-OEM battery into my HTC Amaze Android phone.

It does charge to full but would quickly drop to one block less and turn orange and stay there for hours.

Therefore I suspect your issue is more likely hardware related.....

I have only used RC4 for less than a day so more time is needed to fully test it out.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] KestrelYI:
I don't know if it is build related.

It has happened just a couple of times since I purchased the device... Typically right at 96%, where it would stop charging and turn green. Pull it out and let it go, and it would charge back to 100%. In one of the earlier builds, that happened a few times.

Here's the history, this is what you see....

Notice the green charging lines toward the bottom right... First blip is where the device was plugged in. After that, it stops charging until I unplugged and replugged it back in this morning.

Just did it again, at 93%, during this last post ;) I'll keep an eye on it, and try to see if I can identify anything in the software that's causing the issue.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bckrupps:
is there a way someone can upload the modified pulse apk or explain how i update the build.prop to make it work. i have searched extensively and this seems to be possibly beyond my capabilities or im just confused. im really sorry. im not a noob but this is something im not able to figure out. thanks for all your help.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] aszid:
This sounds to me like the same issue as the 'screen jitter' that was discussed previously. Long clicking items is sometimes difficult (at least on the right side of my screen), because the touch is not registered as being stationary.

I think the previous consensus on the issue was that it's just poor quality hardware.

Mine does exhibit this behavior, and I had purchased mine last November. Different regions could have very well ended up with different hardware as well though, not necessarily just because of the time-frame in which it was purchased.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] KestrelYI:
So B&N transitioned away from some other manufacturer screen to LG screens? Is there a way to tell which screen a particular device was shipped with, aside from tearing it open?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
As far as I am aware, it's only an issue with Nook HD, not HD+.

There's no way to know without opening and the other screen was planned from the get go, looking at the default kernel config, I was wondering about that early on.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bckrupps:
I actually have both. They both work for flashing in recovery and such. Weird cause the system says they mount. You can see the various file types on the cards in es file explorer but when you try to play a song or movie, install an apk or do anything with the various files you get an error message depending on the file. Frustrating cause its not the cards. The system can see the stuff on the cards it won't execute if that makes sense. If you load the same stuff directly to the tablet memory they all work so the files are good also. Don't really want to start over cause the tablet is all set up now.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
Strange as it seems, I've read that blowing air into the usb port frequently solves these mystery issues.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bckrupps:
so I bought the tablet yesterday. I blew into the port like you suggested. It actually worked LOL thanks. I have been going nuts trying to find a logical reason and turned out it wasn't. We should add blow in the ports as a trouble shooting tip

This may be a dumb question but where did the developer options go? They're definitely not where they should be. Having this issue on the 0603 build.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

I'm using the HD+ and have the same screen sensitivity issues. It seems common at this point because the topic has been raised several times in this thread now. I had the issue in stock add well but it wasn't as noticeable.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dbrickg:
The developer options have been hidden for a long time.... You have to open Settings / About tablet and click on the "Build number" 7 times. Don't even ask why....
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] libertus77:
Did you click multiple times on build number in the settings:about tablet screen?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
With the new CM10.1 you have to activate the option. Go to settings, about tablet and tap the build number several times.

Edit: Did enough of us answer it for you? LOL.

Couple of questions about the latest version

1. To update from previous, just install update or does anything have to be wiped? Do gapps have to be reinstalled?

2 how do you use host mode with the custom cable?

3. Any way to enable charging from an apple type usb charger using the nook cable?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] KenNashua:
I'm stumped. I've turned on the option to reboot recovery, when I originally installed the CM 10.1, I installed the twrp zip, cm 10.1 zip, and gapps zip. However, I can't seem to boot into recovery -- makes me think it's not really there.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
just install, nothing needs to be wiped.

what custom cable do you refer to?

it should work, but not necessary at full rate.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
so when you try to do reboot into recovery, you get what in the end?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] KenNashua:
If I hold power+nook, eventually it shuts off. If I don't hold it that long, just boots right into cm 10.1. On my nook tablet, there was a "hit N for boot menu" or something like that.

And I wasn't clear at all above (sorry!). I turned on the option in developer settings for Advanced Reboot but when I hit the power key, there's no reboot recovery -- which makes me think it's not there.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
did you try "reboot to recovery" menu entry from the reboot menu? To enable it you need to enable "reboot menu" in settings->system->power menu alo when you call it off, the screen must not be locked.

Barring that, you can also do "adb reboot recovery" if you have adb working

the power+nook thing only works if you press it right after the N logo shows on screen durign bootup, you hold it for 3 seconds (count to three) and let go.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] KenNashua:
Reboot to recovery isn't there...even though I turned it on, which seems to indicate to me that the recovery didn't get installed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
one has nothing to do with the other.

Double check steps with my previous post to ensure you get the menu entry, it will appear even if you would not have cwm installed
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] KenNashua:
Weird. Did Settings > System > Power menu > Reboot menu checked (as is Profile switcher, Airplane mode, Sound panel)

Settings > Developer options > Advanced reboot checked

No "Reboot to recovery" option pressing the power key.

But I could get to TWRP through GooManager.

I did not really try without wifi yet and of course it does wake quite a bit.

It's just I think in CM10 on a good day the drain was less?I just completed my 19 hours test and it drained 33% in process.

I wish I could attain 30+ days on battery with wifi like I am getting on Kindle Fire HD.

Anybody happened to perform any measurements on battery drain on stock with wifi on?

I'm on stock 2.0.6 and I will be happy to make some battery drain test but with which tool to compare?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] docfreed:
On stock rooted (2.06) with WiFi on but Power Saving OFF, I typically lose about 8% to10% over about an 8 hour period of sleep - i.e., if it's at ~100% when I sleep it, it will wake up at 90% to 92%. Sometimes, I get an email during sleep so it wakes of course.

I see that vold.fstab has SDCard1 set to mount "auto" yet the card is not being mounted even after reboot - is there something else I'm missing? I flashed the 05/05 update.

Excepting the above and the boot animation (which only lasts a second) this ROM is fabulous - thanks you very much verygreen for all that you have contributed to making Nooks real tablets.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
I tested overnight with 2.1.0 and wifi on, it only dropped 1%. But with stock it always turns off wifi in deep sleep. There is no setting to change that like in CM.

FIXED: SD Card Won't Mount

After reporting inability to mount SD card (on 10.1 05/05 update) I looked at the card - it was formatted exFat! After a reformat to Fat32 is mounted just fine.

So just a note: The external SD card must be formatted FAT32

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

Did you have Power Save on - my Nook HD+ sometimes gets an email when the screen is off (however, it may not be in deep sleep at that time - I don't know how long it takes to move from screen off to deep sleep)?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:
Still new to this tab. Can I install with CWM, and go back with a nandroid restore if my daughter doesn't like it? I have a 4GB CWM which I assume will work. Still hoping that you guys are able to get CWM in a partition like a normal tablet!

So install rom and gapps. Is it pre-rooted? Anything else to install? Thanks for your great work on this. It sounds very good.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pbcal:
I just picked it up from Target last night. I used my Nook Color for about a year before switching to HP Touchpad.

I made 2 zips that can be flashed from CWM, the "backup_NookHD.zip" will create backup of all partitions on SD card and "restore_NookHD.zip" will restore them. May be a over kill to backup all the partitions, but should not harm unless you mix two different devices.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
I have PowerSave Mode set to off. I have Google auto-sync set to on. Overnight cpuSpy said deep sleep 95%. I don't think it takes long for that to turn on. It only takes a couple of seconds for wifi to reconnect when it wakes up.

I have a battery monitoring program set up. At 4pm yesterday it was at 88%. By 2am it went to 87%, then at noon today it went to 86%. All that time pretty much just idle as it s my spare device. And 95% deep sleep.

That is significantly better than I get with this 5/5 CM10.1 on emmc. During deep sleep 2.1.0 stock draws 6mA and CM10.1 draws about 90mA. Both have approximately the same apps. (CM10.1 has Google Voice as a service and stock does not).

Deep sleep percentage is significantly less on CM10.1, but I don't leave it idle much. But when I leave it overnight, I usually don't get more that 30 to 50%. That could be my GV doing that.

If you backup stock with that CWM, you can restore it later after trying this ROM. It is pre-rooted. Just this ROM, the right gapps and wipe data/factory reset. It is very good. I have had no issues with it. Verygreen did a good job.

I still recommend you rename those zips to HD+. You can do it by editing that post, removing those and reattaching the correctly named ones.

But the easiest way to backup is to do a nandroid backup with CWM (either verygreen's or mine), that way /data gets backed up too.

Do i have this right?

I should be rooted first on stock.

Use leapinlars recovery to make a backup of rooted stock on sdcard.

Even though it doesnt say to..delete /data /system /cache /davlik cache?

Flash verygreens cm 10.1, and gapps reboot. Done??

To restore to stock just restore nandroid i made first? I think i got this one wrong ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You don't have to be rooted on stock first. It is ok if you are, it is just not necessary.

Yes, use my stock CWM recovery to backup.

Then do a wipe data/factory reset with CWM. No other wiping necessary.

Flash his emmc CM10.1 and gapps 20130301. Remove CWM SD and reboot and register with Google.

If you want to go back to stock, just restore nandroid with CWM. It should be back to exactly how it was.

That is it.

I just tried it on my HD+ and when I went into reboot I was able to select Recovery in the reboot menu. Thanks everyone for helping me get there... it was a pain in butt trying to get it to reboot to recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] e.mote:
The same happened to me with the disappearing 'reboot to recovery' option, even though I had enabled 'advanced reboot' in 'Developer options'. What I did was to go back and disable/re-enable 'advanced reboot', then the option became available again.

I have serious reservations about the TWRP 2.3.3.0 version linked in the OP. I did a backup to SD card then rebooted. I pulled the card, copied the backup to my PC, and verified MD5 sigs. I put the card back in, reboot to TWRP and tried a restore. The restore failed upon restoring the boot partition, and corrupted the card.

I reformatted the card and repeated the backup/verify/restore process. The restore failed at the same place, with the same corruption. I'm switching to CWM even though navigation is clunkier.

Re Host Mode:

Sorry if my question was not clear. The current version of the firmware says that usb host mode has been enabled. I don't understand how you can plug a client into the HD+ tablet in host mode because there is no cable that has the Nook HD+ special connector on one end and a "female" full size usb cable on the other.

There are OTG cables that have a standard micro usb on one end and a "female" full size usb on the other, but I don't see how you could plug them into the HD+ So my question was - how do you use host mode on the HD+?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Jd6J0r:
You need a USB female-to-female adapter. Verygreen shows this in his video:

I am also having this issue. I would really like the back/home/window button on the left of the screen instead of the middle for easy thumb access.

Before flashing this emmc rom I used the SD rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2300132

It did not exhibit the screen sensitivity glitch that other people are reporting with the SD rom. Since switching to emmc, I notice it the most when long pressing the screen like when moving icons on the homescreen or when copy/pasting text.

It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue since it has worked fine on the other CM rom. Also I just bought this nook last week so I imagine it has the newer screen.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Ok, I tried it and it does not crash for me, instead the screen rotates, which I guess is not what should be happening.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] renthispace:
Thanks! I've seen it do that a few times too but it usually crashes.

Not sure about other options, but I know with the SD rom there was also a tablet setting to bring the notification bar to the bottom to share the screen space with the navigation buttons. I can't seem to find this setting and can see how it is nice to share space and get more screen realastate.

I don't want to sound picky though, this is an awesome rom. Great job!

That was an option in CM10, but it was removed in CM10.1, so I don't have it in my builds. I imagine there are all sorts of mods people would like to be pulled in, but sorting through all of them and keeping up with them is not really feasible for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jamus28:
I can confirm this as well. The screen would just rotate. Occasionally, a "+" icon would appear in the bar, but it wouldn't be clickable.

Re: discussion of USB host cables

I think I have about 300 kinds of usb cables and connectors - everything you can imagine - EXCEPT a female to female gender changer! When it comes to USB, I can't win! So what your host mode does is eliminate the need for an OTG converter, right? I'll order a couple of gender changers and see what happens.

Will it charge in host mode if it's plugged into a powered usb hub?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Yes, I just have a patch in that tells the driver "hey, look, a proper OTG cable was just inserted" ;)

Much easier than Nook Color stuff.

Only if your hub provides power in the upstream port (most don't unless you hard-mod them) or if you use USB Y splitted wire and plug the power end of the Y into one of the downstream ports AND in both cases you need to turn on USBHost mode AFTER the power has been applied.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:
The only two chargers I have that the HD+ will recognize are the B&N charger and my Nexus 7 charger. The others, Including my usb batteries, are not recognized (I don't know whether they are charging on low power or not). Is there some way to leverage your usb host to tell it "hay, a charger was just plugged in, charge from it!).

What would happen if I plugged the nook HD+ cable into a downstream port of a hub, plugged the upstream port of the hub into a charger, and put it into host mode? I'd try it, but I don't want it to explode!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
Home Screen Dropdown Notifications

I'm referring to the drop down menu on left as notifications and the drop down menu on right, the ones with the tiles as status bar,

Can't these be combined into a single drop down in the center? There would be more than enough place for the toggles. If I could choose either the notification bar or status bar, I'd take the notifications and no status bar. My Galaxy Tab 2.7 does it that way.

No, but it's possible to do another patch to tell it "hey, there's this cool charger connected" even when it's not. Easy to fry unsuspecting charger, though if you draw more power from it than it's designed to give.

I am not sure what are you planning to do with this setup, but likely nothing would happen. Nook will probably be charging at 500mA rate from the hub.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
The topic is pertinent to the thread. When I plug my HD+ into my laptop, the light on the HD+ is red and it is charging, even though the in settings-battery it shows discharging. I've charged my Nook this way,

If I enable the host mode, the light turns green and the HD+ is not charging

I have a "Sierra" Output 5.2v x 1.2 amp charger that works. It came with and AT&T hotspot. As soon as I enable host mode, the light goes from red to green and the HD+ is not charging.

I've used other chargers with adequate amperage that didn't work.

I would like to think that there is something possible with the software that will enable a wider range of chargers.
