Suggested updates to the guide - and thanks!

First of all, a big Thank You to e.mote and each one of the people involved in putting together these packages. Your efforts are much appreciated.

I also have feedback and suggested corrections to the instruction:

CWM-recovery-ovation is now on version 3, and the instruction should be updated to specify that version.

The gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip has a warning attached to it that it is not recommended for Jelly Bean 4.2, and not compatible with 4.3. This created a lot of hesitation with me, and I am sure other followers of this guide could use a clarification. As it turned out, the package worked fine with Cyanogenmod 10.1.3

When doing the Stock ROM backup, CWM Recovery will default to External SD Card, so the instruction works fine.

However, when doing the baseline backup, after the installation of Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, CWM Recovery defaults to INTERNAL SD Card, so you cannot select the "backup" option; you must select "Backup to External SD Card".

Also, one useful piece of advice would be to NOT keep an SD card in the device to begin with, during the installation and updating of apps that you want included in the baseline backup. The reason is that some apps will put a data storage location on the external SD card if they can find one, and that makes the baseline backup complicated. One example of such an app is Spotify. You get an easier process if you insert an external storage SD card (FAT32 formatted) only AFTER having done the app installations and baseline backup.

Thanks again!

"Some Nooks are finicky...". Correct. I got 2 of them 9/23/13, Monday. On Tue when they charged I began. Mine was normal finicky, maybe 10+ tries before success. Abby's was a nightmare. Wed AM I woke thinking I better return it but I wrestled with some it more. I eventually booted up without the SD card and then tried it again. Voila! Probably superstition, but finicky? Got to have a stronger term. We love the HD+, our NCs were becoming sluggish, none on CM10.1, Abby's on CM7.2.

Just want to point out that making SDcard bootable CWM is MUCH easier and WAY faster with instruction at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613

especially if you have only 1-2gb card. Other than that much appreciated!

I followed the first post and flashed the CM 10.1.3 rom successfully. Believe it or not, this is my first time flashing rom on an Android device. Thank you very much.

cant unzip boot img

hey guys,

maybe im too dumb for this but the boot.img does not exctract for me....

could someone help?

thx

Curious if anyone experiences touch screen glitches sometimes where the screen responds to a different part of the screen than where you are actually touching? Turning the screen off then back on solves the problem, but didn't know if this was a device problem or CM issue. I didn't experience this prior to the root.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] manojm:
I have experienced similar problem just a few times. IMHO it is not the hardware. May be it is the CM? Hopefully it can be solved.

You are not supposed to extract it. Where did you get it and what are you trying to do with it?

Hi,

i downloaded the zip from ##get.cm/?device=acclaim##

from what i understand, he writes in the instructions that you want to unpack the img file, then copy that stuff to the sd card via diskimager....

im trying to get android on my nook tablet :)

Thanks!

[Nook HD, HD+ General] 320flyboy320:
That is a bit misleading as the zip file you downloaded is ready just as it is to place on your SD card.

I used this thread to download the boot image so you can boot from an microsd card (make sure you download the right one as the post has several files). The one I used was the one with "small" in the file name as you don't need to use the large 4GB one, and you also don't need to use an image program to write the image file to the card, I just copied it over to the sd card with Windows. I used the first page from this thread we are posting in to download the ROM and Gapps package. Very easy to do, just make sure you use CM 10.1.3 stable ROM as 10.2 seems to still have some issues.

I followed the instructions, installed 10.1 to EMMC, and used workaround #2 to temporarily change build.prop and installed the BN Nook app and all is good. Thanks All for the clear concise instructions and especially the time and energy involved in the ROM development.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
Yes, you could see that the Nook has taken a Very big Leap in being a good tablet beyond being mainly just a reader... :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] RhinoNelson:
I have been with the original Nook, then the Nook Tablet (CM10.1 of course) and now the Nook HD+ and have been very pleased every step of the way.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Wolfkmann:
Based on your suggestion, I made a backup of the nook app on my smartphone, then copied the apk file onto the rooted nook, and it installed with no problem at all.

My next step is to research is custom kernels can be flashed onto the nook tablet.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No need to research, the answer is no, none are available.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Wolfkmann:
The reason why I was going to research kernels, was to have the ability to adjust display settings, gamma etc using something like trickster mod
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
If you were on SD, you could mod and build your own kernels and put them on the SD, but emmc has the kernel embedded in the boot.img and is harder to mod.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] verygreen:
Not hard at all.

You just need mkbootimg tool to assemble this thing back together.

So far I don't see any many compelling features for the kernel, though.

My current list is pretty short (in no particular order):

- need to listen in and get serial from uboot

- Consider raising power allowance on usb to 500mA (so that more power hungry things work without a hub in between)

- Play with tricking power supply into drawing more than 500mA like if a real B&N external charger is connected

- exFat (not really in-kernel thing, but we can adopt exFat module from stock and it's a kernel module).

- perhaps make another stab at merging in AOSP 3.0.50 changes

- I guess various gamm changing interface might be interesting, if I can pull it off

- Look into overclocking (the problem here is Smart Reflex on our chip is wire d in a funny way that it does not provide correct voltage info for higher clockspeeds and who knows what sort of a voltage is resultant then - this has a lot of instability potential, Hashcode performed research in this area on KFireHD 8.9 (also omap4470) and results are not super promising).

A separate big development that I don't know when I might have time for is

- migration to 3.4 kernel

That's about it, I guess. Am I missing some obvious things? Certainly one can drop in a whole boondoggle of different schedulers, freq governors and such, but I suspect the end result of those is not going to matter much.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] darkpollo:
Hi, thank you for the tutorial, it is really good.

I was able to boot only using the 1Gb card, so i cannot make the backup into the external SD card.

Is it possible to backup into the internal?

It is a new nookhd+ so i do not have anything to backup. Do i need to do the backup anyway?

Is there any way to restore the stock android after installing the CM?

Thanks again!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] HiddenG:
Hello guys/girls!

Thank you for this thread, it's amazing! However, I'm comfortable with installing CM onto the Nook HD+ and HD, but a friend of mine is not. I don't physically have access to the Nook, or direct contact with my friend for me to install it myself, instead I need to guide him. I'm talking to him via text messages, and he is performing the install on his Nook HD+.

Is it necessary for him to use the NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip (as mentioned in the first post), and not the emmc-cwm-early2.1.img.gz from the original thread? Or is there no difference? I'm asking as he can't install the former onto his SD card, as NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip requires approximately 3.67GB storage, whereas my friend's SD card is limited to 3.63GB (it is a Kingston 4GB SD Card).

If installing emmc-cwm-early2.1.img.gz is no problem, then that's OK. I'm just wondering is it OK to use emmc-cwm-early2.1.img.gz, or should I recommend my friend to use something else?

Also my friend reports that when he installs CyanogenMod (EMMC CWM, CM, then gapps), on boot, he ejects the SD card, and it loads (circle CyanogenMod loading). After loading, it goes straight into ClockWorkMod installed on to the EMMC. If the SD card is still inserted, it does the same thing. I've told my friend to install the ROM and Gapps again using the EMMC CWM, but no avail. I've also told him to try with another CWM via SD card, and it still goes directly into CWM. Why would this be occurring?

I'm assuming he has downloaded a corrupt installation file somewhere (as his internet is somewhat slow, around 4MB). Therefore, I'm going to download the files myself and send it to him via FTP tomorrow. I hope that should fix the issue, if not, would you guys suggest anything? This is what he did:

Extracted emmc-cwm-early2.1.img.gz, then burned onto SD card using Win32DiskImager.

Copied cm-10.1-20130615-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip, gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip to SD card.

Ejected SD card from PC, placed into Nook HDplus. Turned on the Nook HDplus.

Waited a while for ClockWorkMod to boot. He then made a backup.

Highlighted "wipe data/factory reset", selected and then chose "yes".

He then went into "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard".

He installed cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip > cm-10.1-20130615-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip > gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip (in that order).

He then rebooted his Nook. Before the reboot, and after selecting reboot, he quickly ejected the SD card.

After doing the above, it just went into CWM on the EMMC. Is there anything he is doing wrong? He also tried without installing the EMMC CWM, it somehow still booted into CWM. Perhaps he is doing something wrong? Shouldn't wipe data/factory reset wipe that out?

Appreciate the assistance, thank you very much! :D
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Wolfkmann:
I wasn't looking to overclock or undervolt, most of what is on your list is way cooler and more advanced that I was thinking, I am just hoping to adjust color multipliers, gamma offset and gamma adjustment.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, you can back up to internal. The backup is not for what you have put on it, it is so the ROM itself is backed up so you can restore it later if you want. So yes, if you backed it up, you can restore later.

I doubt he got the circle CyanogenMod loading... he probably got CyanoBoot loading...

It does sounds like he had a corrupt CM zip. The CWM zip flashed ok and took, but the CM zip did not. That is why it boots to CWM and not CM.

And wipe data/factory reset does not remove either the ROM or CWM from emmc. It only wipes settings and user data.

He needs to try to flash a re-downloaded cm zip.

Enable reboot to recovery help please

hi. i am trying at the enable reboot to recovery step. I tapped on Developer option to enable, then pressed the Power button for the Power menu and select Reboot. However there isn't a second menu with "recovery". It only has "your tablet will reboot"- cancel/ok. Any one know what I did wrong? Appreciate any help. This is my first time. Thanks.

"c) Within CM10.1: select Settings > 'About tablet' > 'Build number' (repeatedly tap on it until 'Developer options' appears). Once Developer options is enabled, enable 'Advanced reboot' to allow reboot to recovery. You only need to do this once. To access this reboot-to-recovery option, long-press the Power button for the Power menu to appear, select 'reboot', then select 'recovery' at the second menu."
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
If you read the text, you are missing one step. After you get developer options enabled, you must open developer options and put a check in the advanced reboot box.

2 questions...

after everything is all said and done i went to reformat the 16gb sd card that i used to do this and i can only seem to get 4 gb of free space back. i've searched around but can't seem to find a good answer anywhere as to how to reclaim the full space of my card (can i only get 4 back because i wrote an image to it making it bootable?). any help would be appreciated.

other question, the play store is the pre-update version (at least for me). any way to update it to the newest version of the play store like what i have on my htc evo?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Use SDFormatter free on the web. Set it to adjust size.

And Play Store should eventually update itself.

Following these instructions I've upgraded from leapinlar's old cm 10 hybrid install using verygreens 02/20 build.

First I did a CWM backup

then booted into nook 2.0 sw

Factory reset

Registered

Upgraded to nook 2.1

Followed these instructions with 4gb image on 32gb card

Backed up nook sw

Installed cwm, 06/15 emmc, gaps and restored the /data from my old hybrid 02/20 cm10 CWM

Finished instructions

Everything appears to work fine except I can't see the SD card. I've tried 2 SD cards same result, and another android device can see them.

Interestingly I can see the SD cards if I mount them using the USB host cable and an adaptor.

I'm thinking 2 possibilities;

I did not clear out all the old hybrid install with the factory reset

Restoring CM10 /data to CM10.1 with CWM was to far a leap

PS thanks to verygreen, leapinlar and e.note for such a great experience on my nook HD+
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
verygreen has this emmc set up differently than prior ROMs. Sdcard is internal memory and ext_sdcard is the external SD. So by default apps use internal memory to download and store media files.

It you want it back to the way it used to be, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the SD swap zip I made for verygreen's emmc install (item 4).

[Nook HD, HD+ General] YogiYahooeys:
Updating CM

Okay, quick question. I rooted to 10.1 a few months ago. I've since received a couple notifications about updates to CM. I wasn't sure if I was even going to bother, but I thought why not? So, I went to the update section and downloaded cm-10.1.3 (I assume that's newer than the RC2). After downloading, it offers to automatically apply the update, but warns me that the feature requires a compatible Recovery, which, being a newb, I'm not sure I have.

I followed the instructions in this thread. If I let the update automatically install, will it work properly? Will I need to install a new version of Gapps?

By the way, as an aside, I just installed an update to Netflix that seems to bork everything up. I can run the app, and the interface is actually quite nicely improved, only when I select a title to play, I just get a loading screen that lasts forever. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible that this problem is corrected in the new CM version?

Thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] HiddenG:
Hello,

Yes, the update you are receiving is more recent than cm-10.1.3-RC2; you're actually updating to a stable/final version of CM10.1.3 for the Nook HD/+. So this will most likely be the last stable version of CM 10.1.3/Android 4.2.2.

Do you have a compatible recovery installed? I'm not too sure, it depends completely on how you installed CyanogenMod onto your device. In the most likely scenario, you most likely do. You can try and install the update. If you have no recovery installed, you won't be able to install the update - so no problem should arise by trying to install the update.

You won't need to install a newer version of gapps, since you're updating to a stable version of the same CyanogenMod build. If you upgrade to CM10.2 (which is Android 4.3), you'll need to install a newer gapps. Right now, you're on CM10.1.3 RC2 (which is Android 4.2.2), and updating to the stable version is also Android 4.2.2 - so there is no need to update gapps.

As for the Netflix app, I'm not too sure as I haven't used this app. Sorry about the hassle, but you can always revert to an elder version of the app by searching for it's APK online/via Google Search.

All the best. :)

Quick question

Greetings all, long time lurker first time poster.

I followed the instructions in the initial post to the T, and everything went flawlessly. So first off thank you to all the developers and everybody who has helped make this project possible.

My question is as follows- the android user interface appears as if it is optimized for a mobile phone and not a tablet (i.e. the soft key button location being in the middle not off to the left, quick settings up top to the right instead of the bottom etc..). If there is a stable tablet version' to be had, would someone please advise me what it is, and the best (read safest) way to install it. I have done searches and read up on this extensively (this tablet is replacing my touchpad which has been a fun little roller coaster ride) and after not finding a agreed up conclusive result I figured the best thing to do was ask.

Even if your response is a link to a thread I happened to miss during my search I appreciate it!

Best Regards,

Majinchuck
