[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excalibar001:
I am opening this thread for people to discuss issues with the CM10.1 and share solution and fixes that they have found to solve these issues.

I have noted that the auto brightness does not work for me. I do not notice any change in brightness in different light settings and it seems to be frozen. Does HD+ comes with a light sensor and is it supported by CM10.1.

Another thing I wanted to ask. Can we use MHL adapters to connect a Nook to a tv through HDMI. I was looking for an alternative to Nook branded adapter.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure there is no light sensor on a tablet that has no camera.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Overall CM 10.1 is a whole lot better than stock 2.1. Some games do not work that did with stock (Buggy Blitz, Moonshiners and NBA 2013), but all the Zen Pinball Star Wars games work (they did not with 2.1).

With CM 10.1, you can not get any more less intrusive with Android, especially compared to stock on the Nook HD+. The good news is there is no more stutter with apps and a lot of apps load faster. The bad news is some apps still load slow and there is intermittent lag when pressing to start apps or navigate. Tapatalk is an example. There can sometimes be a 5 to 10 second delay from the time the app is activated to the time there is an action. Same with navigating and with other apps as far as lag such as browsers and games. The weird thing is when games play, there is no lag or signs of touch response problems. Games play well and so do virtual pads for game emulators. The issue is not touch sensitivity, since the press registers, but sometimes takes a while before an action happens.

For whatever reason, the Nook HD+ has an intermittent lag problem that also existed with stock 2.1, though the app stutter has thankfully gone away. The lag really stands out when comparing to my S3 and Excite 7.7. Those both are stock, but respond instantly when activating and navigating apps and only have slight issues if updating apps in the background.

My Razr had a 4430 and was not laggy. The higher display res should not be a factor for such dramatic lag issue with the HD+. The lag seems to happen about 30% of the time, if I were to guess. For what I want it for, the lag is not a big issue, but seems to make no sense. Both HD+ I have used have the issue, but was hoping CM 10.1 would be the answer to fix it.

Bad memory management, perhaps? Added: Nope, if so, games in action would be laggy as well.

You are right, there is no light sensor so autobrightness does not work.

I need precise steps to see the lag, then I can profile it and if stars align right - fix.

Hashccode encountered some bad lag on KFireHD on (what he thinks) is some bad unnecessary waiting in kernel.

I do not see any of it, though, so cannot do anything about it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Tapatalk seems to be a poster child app for the issue. It does seem like a wait state issue. Added: That said, it does not do it all the time, so probably not app specific. I just use Taptalk a lot. The lag seems to happen with most apps, but not all the time. 30% of the time seems about right. The good news is the stutter issue that was them main problem IMO with stock 2.1 is gone. No sign yet, in spite of the intermittent app start and navigation lag.

What app can I install to log the issue?

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
I don't think there is a good one for logging.

I just need to be able to reproduce myself so I can poke at it from multiple angles.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
It does seem to be an app start/stop and navigation lag. No lag when using touch or virtual controls in games.

Not having the stutter in the GTA games is nice. It was GTA Stutter City with stock 2.1. as in many other games. Smooth now, while playing a game.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excalibar001:
While I agree that HD+ may not have a light sensors, however, a light sensor has nothing to do with camera and primarily used to control the screen brightness. A camera can detect brightness through its image sensors which is separate from a light sensor.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Does stock firmware have auto brightness setting? Can not remember, but I thought it did.... I tend to not use it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excalibar001:
I would like to thank you first verygreen for your efforts. You have made the HD+ such a useful tablet.

I have noticed that sometimes my screen would turn off momentarily for no reason. This happen more frequently when I am using and charging he tablet at the same time. I believe that it is due to the magnetic cover flap sensors which goes awry for some reason. Is there a way to turn this sensor off for those of us who are not using a cover with magnetic flap?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No, as many have said here, including me, there is NO hardware sensor, so auto brightness cannot work.

As mentioned, I do not use it, but would not be the first time for a phantom setting. Look at stock 2.1 and the slow app loading, stuttering state that it is. Not exactly a model for strict user experience QA.

You might want to check to see if you have GPS checked in location services. If you have that checked and an app like Google Maps runs in the background, that sometimes causes reboots.

First of all thanks to verygreen for his hard work in making CM10.1 available for the HD+. I really like being able to use the amazing screen on my HD+ with CM10.1 instead of the abomination that is Nook HD+ stock.

I have a small issue with my icons on my home screen. Most icons look fine, but the Amazon app store and the Amazon store icon are approximately 25% larger than all the other icons on my screen. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Awesome work on 10.1. Just installed it and loving the options and the work.

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but I have not seen it and I've spent all night getting this bad boy setup to my liking :) Is anybody else having a problem with Nook magazines after Nook is sideloaded? When I try to access my Sports Illustrated magazine through the Nook app, it is telling me it is not supported on this device?? Nook HD+ 32gb.

Originally also asked - Should I try the rename device option to download the app directly on the device rather than sideloading? - This did not help at all. Though with the issues I had trying to do so, I would recommend for other users trying to edit build.prop - Download the Build Prop Editor app. Then change "ro.product.device" from "ovation" to "nookhdplus". Then reboot. At least for me, I had to clear the cache in recovery and wait through apps updating after the reboot (otherwise it simply hung up while trying to boot). Nook will now be in the Play store. There are other ways stating to change more information, but that just confused my device to all hell and led to a lot of frustration on my end. The sound issue is still present, so you need to change this back when done.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
I had two reboots as well. Ironic that they both happened after I said I had not had any. The device freezes, screen goes black, funky colors show up and then the boot screen. Takes a while to boot back up and seems to go through the two different angles of spinny CM screens twice.

The issue you are having sounds like the lag issue I have mentioned. I sometimes can try to start or stop an app, or navigate forward or back and the actual response does not register for up to ten seconds. The device is faster and no stutter in games now, but the touch lag seems to happen more than stock. Seems random when it happens and can range from 1 to 10 seconds. 10 seconds happens the least. The average is several seconds.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
One other user reported this issue on his magazine. While my consumer reports magazine had no problem using this setup, his magazine (sorry, don't remember which) would not. I think it is magazine specific.

I am also having problems with random reboots. It must be a specific offending application since others are not having the same problem. I do not have GPS enabled.

I read earlier in this thread that android doors not have any logs. Is that true? No dmesg or systemd journal?

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes they have logs. Dmesg and klog. Go to terminal and type dmesg (after setting su).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
I have a few reboots on my TF300, Excite 7.7 and S3, so probably more an Android issue than a CM issue. The random lag with app starting/closing and navigation seems either a CM issue and or the device itself. No such lag issues on my other devices.

I do notice a correlation of heavy lag and the reboots.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpaulien:
Yes, that was me who reported the magazines not working. I finally gave up and installed CM10.1 on the emmc anyway, giving up on reading the magazines on my Nook. The magazines were Money and Real Simple, which my wife had a subscription to. Since we had subscriptions to both and B&N offered free online subscription if you had a paid delivery version, I went for it.

Anyway, I think I looked and couldn't get it free through Google magazines and I couldn't get it to work with CM10.1 on the Nook app. So I just gave up. I can't really say that I miss it that much. Having too much fun with all the other things that I CAN do on this great tablet!

Might want to take another look at Play magazines then. Looks like you can get both free, at least now, with an existing subscription.

Has anyone found a way to keep their router running on Wireless N with the Nook HD+? No matter what I've tried, the Nook sends my router connections up and down all day long unless I restrict the wireless to G only. I was hoping things may be different with CM10.1, but no such luck. My router is a DIR-655.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
I am wondering why games that worked fine with stock, do not with CM 10.1.

Shine Runners, Buggy Blitz, NBA 13 and Mini Motor Racing are examples. MMR actually causes a crash and reboot of the device. It happened the two times I tried to run the game.

All the games worked with stock 2.1, but stock has the stutter issue for most games. Catch 22.

If stock has special drivers for the 4470, any way to apply them to CM? Seems CM would have similar problems with Tegra 3 and Snapdragon if the devices have their own drivers. That said, NBA seems to confuse internal and external storage with CM, so not a gpu issue for that one.

Regardless, the loss of some games is an okay sacrifice for the CM benefits.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
BuggyBlitz does not work because of their problems with newer SGX drivers on omap4470, other omap470 devices are also affected.

for MMR crash, can you show us the crash info in /proc/last_kmsg after reboot (I see the game is not free, so I cannot try it).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
I will need to install it again. As far as Buggy Blitz, it did work with stock 2.1, so are you referring to an issue with CM in general and the 4470?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
It's not a CM issue, it's the new SGX drivers and omap4470 and Buggy Blitz (and some other games from that company).

I don't know if it's them or TI that screwed up there. Same drivers work fine on omap 4430, though.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Riptide also does not work (same company of course). I guess my confusion is these games all worked fine with stock 2.1. So the issue is the drivers that are in ICS are different from Jelly Bean?

Fragmentation strikes it seems.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregs1213:
I've also noticed that my wallpaper doesn't "stick". I think this usually happens after rebooting. I have a live wallpaper selected and then it will go back to original green leaf wallpaper that originally was loaded with stock. This happens to my girlfriends tablet as well.. We are both running Nova Launcher. - Just as a side note.. I tried running Go Launcher for her (because they have more "cute themes)... and it was incredibly laggy.

I have the same question: does emmc CM10.1 support MHL (connecting nook hd+ to TV without using the $39 adapter)?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
Only if you figure out the pinout and make yourself an mhl cable.

Otherwise you are stuck with $25 official B&N adapter (or I imagine they'll start dropping prices on those even more eventually).

Verygreen I have noticed that the scrolling has become very smooth and touch is very responsive after flashing the June 24 ROM. Have you made any specific changes or is it the result of wiping cache and rebooting?

Strange wallpaper issues

I tried posting this in a new thread, but have not gotten any responses there yet, so figured I would try here as well. The link to my other thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42858052#post42858052

Basically, wallpaper display and icon layout space in portrait mode on the Nook HD+ w/ the emmc install of CM10.1 has some issues. When using the pre-installed wallpapers and the Trebuchet launcher, if I switch from one standard (non-live) wallpaper to another, it shows a display issue like shown in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41419120#post41419120

If I, instead, change it to a live wallpaper, and then change it to a different standard wallpaper, the display is correct.

The icon layout with the default launcher is always wrong when in portrait mode. The landscape mode is fine, but it does not appear that the icon layout changes when the orientation of the device changes. The solution of "use a different launcher" as someone in the other thread suggested works partially.

When using Nova, things tend to look ok, but I'm not convinced it is detecting the correct mode of the device (Tablet UI vs. Phone / Phablet UI - I think it's actually choosing Phablet). If I use Apex, I get the same problem at all times with the default wallpapers, but if I use a wallpaper that I downloaded from a different site, the issue only shows a small strip at the bottom of the display (vs not rendering full screen at all).

I'm hoping someone here has some ideas about what might be going on, or some suggestions on what I can look at to try and address them. I know it doesn't seem like a huge issue, but it's pretty glaring when you're dealing with the one image you see every time you turn on the device.

In appreciation of not knowing at what expense, is there also a driver zip with the current drivers? With the current newer drivers, everything works groovy besides the Vector games and NBA 2013. Syder Arcade works when forcing GPU in the Developers options. Edit: Syder does not need forced gpu to work.

BTW, the Developers options seems odd for CM to have hidden, but it is not in stock roms for phones and tablets. Are there more "dangerous" options in the CM version, hence the hide?

After updating to the 6/28 version, I feel compelled to follow up with apparent issues:

1. The device lag is less with this version- including the Play market lag. It is now similar to most other Android devices as far as Play market.

2. Games that would not work due to the sdcard mapping now do. I had been using the 6/08 version and games like Mini Motor Racing and NBA 2013 did not work (both great games BTW). Those games and others like Quake 3 now work.

3. Buggy Blitz, Riptide and Shine Runners still do not work, but will if you roll back to the older gpu drivers. Catch is, the Star Wars pinball games and Syder Arcade do not work with the old drivers, so give and take.

4. Embarrassingly, Asphalt 7 since its most recent update loads almost as slow as on my other devices, so NOT just the HD+. This makes more sense, since that was the only game loading slow with CM 10.1. With stock 2.1, all games loaded slow, but really stood out with bigger games.

I like the performance of 6/28 version of emmc, so will stick with it and the current drivers.

Stunning how Verygreen's 6/28 version of 10.1 makes stock 2.1 seem like a very weak amateur effort.

CM 10.1 and Google Earth

I installed CM 10.1 and love it so far. However, I do wish Google Earth worked with it. I'm aware that it's a known issue, but I'm curious as to why it's not working in the first place. It is hardware specific or a software problem? Is it being actively worked on?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
It's a software issue of unknown nature.

GLThread crashes trying to dereference a negative value (or NULL), meaning there's some bug in Google Earth code where they don't check something for possible errors.

Now why that happens in CM10.1 and what is it they dereference I do not know, possibly a not very good interatction between new JB4.2.2 code and our old 3.0 kernel (that is a miracle it works with 4.2.2 too, I really need to take a stab at 3.4 kernel, but the amount of work is probably pretty large and time is as usual pretty short).

Thanks for the reply. I find this forum exceptionally informative, and I appreciate the work the developers put into their work. I love my Nook HD+ more than my Kindle Fire HD, and a lot of it is due to the custom mod I've been able to use. Well, that and the Micro SD card slot ;)

From what I've read the Nook HD+ wifi radio doesn''t like wireless N.

Mine (stock rom and cm 10.1) would often lose the wifi connection then reconnect, so I disabled wireless N on my

router and only had it pass G and the other kind.

Now it never disconnects randomly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wekilledkenny:
Unfortunately that's the only solution I've found so far as well. I hate losing the N connection though, because the speed and the signal strength both suffer, which is a killer for me, along with streaming video over XBMC suffering. Since no one has had any better luck with 10.1, I'm trying the latest Carbon build now and crossing my fingers.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
There are basically just two drivers.

The old stock one that sucks battery like there's no tomorrow. And the most recent TI one, no matter what rom you run at this point in time, you'll be running one or the other.

So a meaningful comparison would be to revert to the rom to around May 4 or before when we were still using old B&N stock drivers, if the N connection was any better there, I might investigate some more.

Though I don't think I have any wifi drops around here.
