@killersloth

I have the ovation build up and running great. I noticed that vold.fstab on your ovation build was slightly different from vold.fstab on both your hummingbird build, as well as verygreen's cm10.1 build.

## emmc

#dev_mount emmc /storage/sdcard0 10 /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/mmc_host/mmc0

## sdcard

#dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 5 /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1

# automount usb storage devices

dev_mount usbflash1 /storage/usb0 auto /devices/platform/omap/musb-omap2430/musb-hdrc/usb1/1-1

Changing the sdcard1 from "5" to "auto" (Actually just replaced the Vold.fstab with the one from hummingbird build) fixed the setting/storage force close issue. It also works properly via MTP file transfer.

Long story short, I tested on 3 different iterations of the ovation build in this order.

1. Initially replaced vold.fstab as well as SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and results were positive. Everything working as expected.

2. Replacing vold.fstab and just SystemUI produced negative results. Still misc. FCs including settings/storage.

3. Replacing vold.fstab and framework-res produced the same positive results of test one. So, looks like we don't need to replace SystemUI.

Hope this helps you on your side of things with the ovation build. Thanks again for sharing with us.

EDIT: Btw, as you may be able to tell from the time of my post, I didn't sleep very many hours. LOL This was bugging me and I had to give it another shot.

hummingbird issuses

Just want to report that the youtube could not be updated because of bad signature error and the gesture feature of the keyboard does not work for me. Other than that all seems well so far, will continue to test and report. Thanks

Is this HD+ download missing?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
Sweet! I think I may have to play with this one tonight! I'm on the HD+, so if I find anything wrong with the ovation version, I'll be sure to provide feedback.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Good morning!

Gesture keyboard failure and app signature issues are from the gapps package. TBH I used an aroma installer from SlimRom for my gnex but it needs to be configured for nook HD/HD+. When I flashed the aroma installer, it started, flipped to 180° rotation, but the touch response was as if it wasn't at 180° rotation. I'll look into that.

As far as vold.fstab and framework issue, that makes sense. I noticed the various .mk files pointing to the wrong overlays, thought it was supposed to be that way. Haven't really got much insight on the way the HD+ works yet besides you guys in here, so thanks for being so helpful :)

Yes I pulled the ovation link before I finally went to bed to avoid complications.

Hooked some fans up under the laptop and started another build before I went to bed, about to roll out of bed and check it out. Fingers are crossed ;)

Fan is failing in my laptop, so it refuses to stay on sometimes. Oh well lol.

Ovation build is back up, problems should be solved.

Use a different Gapps package then the one linked in OP, I'll work on that.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus to all you wonder nobodies!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pins2u:
Nice work! Really appreciate it. I will report back soon as usual. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] CubeCloudOS:
Thanks! Wheatley govenor is perfect for me. Thanks a lot! Happy 4th of July fellow North American developers.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Thanks :)

I think for now I will stick with the current sgx drivers, I honestly don't use Google earth or play those games. I understand some users do, but most likely verygreen will have them nice and stable long before I'm able to lol. Today I have plans to watch things explode, but I'm also off work tomorrow so I will spend some time on this.

And yes, carbon is very sloppy right now, they're merging a lot of changes, I had to pick my commits very carefully. Hopefully within a few days things will be smoothed out

edit: the blatantly obvious reason that those sgx libs failed, thanks verygreen :D :D

will be fixed soon if builds complete before I leave for fireworks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
Two q's if you don't mind: What is the difference between wheatly and hotplug? What are the chances this device can OC to 1.7 stable and not too hot?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lancorp:
So I installed B5 (0704) over B3 (0630). No wiping data or caches or anything. Just a straight flash.

Upon logging in, my desktop was littered with icons, all my folder organization was gone, my widgets were gone and GMAIL app was missing. :crying::mad:

Took a while to reorganize. But got everything working again.

Now, my stepdad was here and we did the exact same thing to his (he had B4 and went to B5) and his desktop was fine, but he also lost GMAIL app.

Odd. I don't mind upgrading to newer builds, but if I have to reinvent the wheel every time, I'm not going to be so happy to do them!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Titanium backup is your friend. Just back up all user apps and just restore user apps+data.

That way you always get the best results.

Next update will have updated sgx libraries from verygreen.

Will test and upload when I get home from fireworks tonight.

[MENTION=3459071]killersloth[/MENTION] Just installed 7-4 on my Nook HD and on first boot upper right of the device got hot and the screen flashes every 4-5 seconds. I ended up going back to 7-3. I don't think it's 1.5ghz that i the problem because 7-1 worked fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
IVA freq is upped to 500 MHz, only other change to freqs. It's working fine on my HD but I wonder if that is the problem.

Later tonight I'll have another build up, I'll revert that change and will need you to try it out :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lancorp:
On 0704 and not having any screen flashing. I do have a problem when PLUGGED IN charging, though...then the screen flashes.

By chance, were you plugged in when you noticed the screen flashing?

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Shouldn't you have more feedback before reverting changes? I mean, ours are OK, so why not leave it and see if medhi has some other issue?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
I'll upload tonight with changes to hummingbird. Flashing screen sounds bad lol. Made the changes and started the build before I left. HD+ uses 500mhz IVA and I setup HD to use those settings to get 1.5ghz mpu back. Split it back up keeping 1.5ghz mpu going back to 460mhz (or whatever it was previously, not at the PC) iva.

Still, didn't have that problem on my HD but not all chips are the same.

Reverting that change simply because I don't want to cause any irreparable harm to anyone's device. If I would have noticed it on my HD I wouldn't have released it that way. It's one thing to push my device too hard while testing... I don't wish any harm to any nook :)

If you're not experiencing any issues, I'll see if he still gets a hot flickery nook on B6 when released and if so I'll put it back. One thing I do know is verygreen has put a lot of work into this and if he left it alone there might be a reason lol.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] CubeCloudOS:
On B5 I don't get any flashing. It does get hot while charging though but thats probably because it is 1100-1500 mhz all the time. On B4 it was more pronounced the screen would flicker black when on an app like minecraft
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mehdi_s82:
Mine was not plugged when screen started flashing.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
What is the blatantly obvious reason? Curious minds want to know.LOL

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
There's a module in there, I changed the kernel localversion, so the module doesn't load lol.

/facepalm
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
Ah, so it was something relative to the kernel. Glad it's something easy for you. ;)

EDIT: For those using TWRP 2.5. I found a really nice theme for the Asus TF700 that works really well with the Nook HD+, as it has a similar resolution and landscape mode. It also appears to make the nav button UI snappier than the stock TWRP UI, which for me on occasion I had to hit the home or back button multiple times to get it to engage.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TonyBigs:
I thought the HD+ was 1920x1280.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jptesar:
You're correct on the resolution. The theme still comes close and looks nice. Take it for a spin.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
Son of a gun, you are right! :o :D Funny, when B&N put it on firesale, first thing I did was check it out on XDA for specs and support, since I knew next to nothing about it.

The cover page here on XDA has it at 9" and 1200x1920, which I thought was great. And there was also at the time 2 different CM roms, which I figured would certainly do the trick for me. Of course, now we have killersloth's Carbon rom to make the party even better. :laugh:

Anyway, as jptesar said, it works just fine. Actually looks very clean and professional.

Btw, changed my OP from same resolution to similar. :D

EDIT: [MENTION=3956753]TonyBigs[/MENTION], I owe you a thanks click tomorrow, used up my 8 for the day.

Tell me, do the nav button presses seems snappier to you, or is it just my imagination? LOL

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reatret:
I have been getting about 5 reboots a day ever since b2. What could be causing them? My sisters HD+ has no problems at all.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Could be some apps, or maybe if you flashed over an older version, or usage habits. HD+ likes to have kernel panics, I've been looking into that.

Had some drinks and burnt my swiping thumb up pretty good with some nuclear blow-torch sparkler, was a good 4th lol

Good thing all I have to do is upload some builds from when I was sober :p

2nd post change log and thread title will be updated soon, enjoy!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] timpilcher:
Glad you enjoyed, KS . . . you are some kind of awesome with these builds. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
:D LOL

Since I don't want to waste a post with just a smiley face and LOL, I'll say looking forward to the new sober build. :) Glad you had a good 4th, mine was good as well.

EDIT: Thanks for B6, looking good! Liking the sakuractive gov and VG's new sgx drivers working well. Btw, if you haven't tried 320 DPI, it's worth a shot. At first it seemed a little weird but it does grow on you and it actually looks really nice and overall smoothness is great.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lancorp:
Just an update on my B5 update. I thought something was "different" after updating to B5. As I mentioned above, after the update, everything was wonky. Straightened things up, but something was still not right. As is turns out, it appears I have NOVA Launcher installed! I have NEVER installed NOVA Launcher on Carbon. When I was running CM10.1, I had installed it, but it was long gone after I stock-recovered and installed Carbon. So I thought! Somehow, upgrading to B5 auto-installed NOVA.

There is no UNINSTALL button. How do I uninstall this launcher? I want native Carbon. Thanks again!

Maybe upgrading to B6 will get rid of it just as mysteriously as B5 installed it! :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
I guess that's the default launcher on the ROM now.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tebra:
Nova is included in this Rom sinds B2
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
You shouldn't have any problem installing any other launcher from the play store though
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lancorp:
You're right...6/28 included it. Hmmm...I wonder why that would be a ROM thing? It's free, and anyone can get it from the Play Store IF they want it. Not sure why I just noticed things looked oddly different. I'm almost sure when I had B3 I did NOT have Nova (somehow).

---------- Post added at 06:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

Do you know if Nova was added by KS, or was it included from higher up the "food-chain"?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ock:
Riptide now works - nice!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Yes, I think it was added by him :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RustedRoot:
You have at least 3 ways to uninstall. Get the Titanium Backup app and splurge for Pro -- it's a must have app to backup, restore and uninstall apps. Worth it. Use it to uninstall Nova. Second, go to Settings/apps and swipe to All heading; click on Nova and uninstall. Third is to use a File Manager program that gives access to Root. Go to system/app and find NovaLauncher. Long press on the file(s) and select delete

BTW, Nova is my go-to launcher. You might want to give it a try.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Yeah I added Nova launcher.

I was including it with stock launcher but decided to remove stock launcher.

I'm going to see what I can do about using stock launcher2 with added functionality.

You can give the cm file manager that's included root privilege.

And yeah, Nova launcher is good stuff. Best of the free launchers imo
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lancorp:
Thanks RR...I will give Nova a try. It looks highly configurable. I just didn't want something else that may cause flakiness.

I will also take a look at Titanium Backup (PRO). Almost 7 bucks is kinda high for an android app, but it might be worth it. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
Is sakuractive called hotplug in kernel tuner?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
In trickster mod it's called sakuractive
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mehdi_s82:
B6 caused my screen to flash too. Reverted back to B3 again.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
Okay because I saw hotplug as an option and it does shut off the other core during screen on. What are the differences if any?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tgreenstein:
Titanium Pro is worth every penny. It's saved my butt on six different phones and two tablets more times than I can count. It also cuts down the time needed to restore your apps when flashing a new ROM.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

By the way, I dirty flashed B5 over B4 with no problems. Then I dirty flashed B6 over B5, also with no problems. I must be getting lazy. :rolleyes:
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RustedRoot:
When using Nova remember to backup your settings to the sd card, not (just) emmc, I.e., internal, just in case you wipe data on subsequent ROM installations.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Sakuractive shuts off a core while the screen is on if there is low enough CPU usage, but also keeps speed. Been playing nova3 on the HD+ today on B6 with sakuractive and its running great
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
Okay I set both cores to hotplug as I did not get a chance to update to B5 but battery life has been great and so has performance. I will try sakuractive when I get home. Thanks for your hard work:good:
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
B6 is is good stuff, got the new sgx libs from verygreen in it.

I am trying out 320 DPI, really not liking it but it could just be shock at how large everything is lol. Seems to add some lag to scrolling in settings with dual pane enabled. I could just turn it off I guess but I kinda like it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ShapeShifter499:
My screen is blinking like crazy starting with B5 and still with B6

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

I think I know the issue, something to do with brightness control? I can't control my Nook HD brightness.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
Right I forgot about B6. I like when the DPI is about 60 points less than standard. My DNA is 480 by default and it looks so "verizon" looking you know? At 420 it is perfect. What is the default DPI for this device? I kind of like it how it is now, maybe a few points higher would be nice but I can always adjust that of course.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ShapeShifter499:
Ok on reboot I could change my Nook HD brightness and also the blinking stopped. Might want to see if backlight control is ok.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jamus28:
No flashing so far for me. What steps did yall take to recreate this issue?

I can't get tabletUI to stick on B6. The systemUI resets, but the top status bar comes back. Known issue I presume?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
Once you get used to it, it doesn't look "so large" anymore. :laugh: Also, I never use dual pane, so haven't seen anything but super smoothness with that DPI and your new kernel set to sakuractive/sio/read ahead buffer 2048. My old eyes really appreciate the 320 DPI with the browser in portrait mode.

This thing is now awesome! LOL Reminds me of the N10, which is also at 320 DPI and costs much more buck$.

But as they say, to each their own and I again thank you for the new build...it's been great for me.

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Yeah, to actually change ui mode it needs a reboot. I think it is fixed upstream. Building now with customizable launcher2 (or just sticking with nova if it goes badly) and all changes by CarbonDev and verygreen merged.

I had an issue with screen reverting to full brightness all the time first build, but after turning autobrightness on and off and rebooting all was well.

And default DPI is 240

Oh, and thank you srgibbs99, don't know how I missed that email :D :D :D
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Finally the SD delivered and I jumped in. Great ROM, many thanks to killersloth. Only 1 reboot so far. Runs smoothly, the only bug I noticed is that Wi-Fi is not as strong as the stock and occasionally drops signal.

Great job!

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

BTW, holo launcher is considerably smoother, at least for me! That was the case on stock (very noticeable), and still true on carbon. You folks might wanna give it a try ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I think I may have to give 320 DPI a try again. I tried it once and being somewhat shocked by the difference in how it looked went back to (whatever is default) . I think I need to give it a try again and keep it for a little while longer to see what I think after getting used to it. Text is quite small on the default value, so I think it is worth a shot. Especially since it's so easy to change using this ROM.

I'm still on b4,but think I will go flash B6 now and set the DPI.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
OK so...

Stock launcher with preferences menu unlocked, was nice and smooth. Only problems were that on ovation with 240 DPI menu navbutton doesn't work in launchers. So no way to access preferences on ovation at stock DPI

No resize option for widgets in homescreens

Also, unfortunately trebuchet doesn't theme fully with theme engine (no matter what theme is used, purple, green, red, orange, overscroll is always holo blue)

So, nova launcher is the prime candidate for default launcher still IMO.

I already pushed an update today, but it was built last night. this build has updates from verygreen and carbon so i might go ahead and upload.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I have been using ADW launcher and decided to give Nova a try. I saw that it has an option to import the desktop from ADW but when I try, it says it has a security error trying to get the settings from ADW.

I guess I can set up Nova, but now that I know that there should be a way to import from ADW the lazy part of me would rather do that. :) Anyway, for someone who has used both Nova and ADW, what is the benefit of switching (if any)?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jamus28:
Yes the reboot kept the UI change. Thanks.

I really despise trebuchet. Despite being "lighter" it always seems to run slower and corrupt more than other launchers. Nova or apex as default is the right thing in my view.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tomlang:
B6 is working very nicely for me. I"m a happy camper.

I have been happy with Nova Launcher for maybe a couple of years now. I like the flexibility along with backup/restore, especially for those times when Titanium causes trouble.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ock:
On the topic of launchers, app drawer animations are a bit stuttery, but not after I used a live wallpaper, surprisingly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Who said battery life on this thing is questionable again? Went to bed with 23%, woke up with 24%! How about that? Lol
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Azurael:
I think it's probably best to include Launcher2. Nova is nice, and I will certainly continue using it now I worked out how to set the app drawer scrolling back to the stock speed, but most people downloading this ROM seem to lack the ability to put the stock launcher apk back, whereas anybody can install nova from Play. Also, as and when Nova gets updated, the version on /System is a waste of space - which is why I run minimalist GApps and everything Indeed from the Play Store too.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
You won't get any user space back from system it's a different partition
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Yeah, /system space left unused is pretty much a waste. No increase in speed comes from free space there. However I do see the logic of using stock launcher. I use Nova launcher paid version myself, caught it on sale a long time ago ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Azurael:
Well duh, but what's the point having useless old apks on there?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
I have to admit, when I replace system apps I go in with root explorer and delete them :p
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] srgibbs99:
I have had blinking crashes since b5. Not sure if it had to do with brightness control or not. The screen starts freaking out, blinking, and the only thing I can do is hard reset the tablet. Any one else seeing this?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tomlang:
Although I am a Nova Launcher user, paid version, I don't mind keeping another stockish launcher in system space. This makes life easier in case I accidentally uninstall Nova. I also keep a spare tire in the trunk of my car.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Not on my end so far. do you know how to trigger?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] srgibbs99:
Not yet. It's happened once in Tapatalk, and once while navigating system settings. Is there a good way to grab logs on android?
