Santa, how'd you get in that time warp? Lol.

My jury was out on battery life vs. CM10.1 until B6. 3% loss over 16 hours, mostly asleep, does it for me. Keep it going Killer. Thank you for this superb work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dmullens:
I guess my brightness wasnt failing. Kindle must override the setting. After the reboot the screen was not as bright, but going back into kindle the screen was at full brightness again. I haven't had any issues since and i keep messing with the brightness settings.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reatret:
Battery life on B6 is amazing :) the random spikes upward are not charging but battery glitches :P

Anyone tried dirty install Carbon Rom from CM 10.1 with wiping Dalvik and Cache only?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
You all still using sakuractive? That's most likely the explanation for the good battery life ;)

I'm thinking it was a good addition.

Good to hear the brightness issue is likely caused by nook app. Saves me a lot of time looking for non existent bugs in commits lol

Yes, some have reported doing so successfully. However if you run into any issues a clean install is recommended. Titanium backup is your friend.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] stephencwl:
Thanks I will try. My CM 10.1 is running in multi user mode with four accounts. It will be a pain in the ass to ask all family members to set it up again, and titanium backup only works with the admin user (root access).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] drakester09:
Make a nandroid before updating, the change is not reversible (Carbon -> CM 10.1) :cowboy:

It will bootloop.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
I used to get those when I enabled rotation. If I leave it locked in portrait everything seems fine. Not sure if this will help with locating a "trigger" or not.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rushless:
Titanium used to be good in the old days, but now not practical due to 20GB of apps & data. Those were the days :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
I have auto-rotation enabled and I'm not getting them! weird. :confused: did a clean install if that helps
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
I can't remember if this was with a clean install or not.

Was also running tablet mode if that matters.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
B7 on 7/7 ;)

it is uploaded

back to Launcher2

merged in changes from CarbonDev

new ram circle looks cool

Ok so this is not carbon specific, but I'm having issues with build 6 recognizing my 64 gb sd card. It sees it but can't write to it. Trying to use it as a fat 32 format. Help.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
B7 on HD has been good to me

On HD+ it's been a little sluggish. Not sure what went wrong (if anything) but I'll be looking into it today.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ShapeShifter499:
Recently I tried usb host mode via the app and I couldn't get my usb thumb drive or SD card reader to mount. I had B6 installed and I'm about to install B7. Any ideas?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
Thanks for letting us know I was just about to flash it I'm sure you will figure it out
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lancorp:
Could it be the difference between NOVA and Launcher2?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
I think he uses nova prime. I use it too, but I noticed its a tad sluggish on B6 but thats expected on an older device with an unofficial device tree. The performance is much better than B5 or 4 though
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
It "should" work, I don't have any of those cords to test it out and troubleshoot the problem though sorry.

I think the slow down I was experiencing was due to low internal storage space, oddly enough I cleaned out a bunch of stuff I didn't need for incompatible games and it's back to zoom zoom.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
New build is much faster!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] blast0id:
First I want to thank everyone on these forums who contributes more than just an anecdotal reply here and there! If it weren't for you guys, this place would really suck!

OK. I'm a complete n00b to the nookHD+(ovation) and after a lot of headache and reading I finally got this baby loaded and running beautifully!

I had some issues so first I'll state what I tried then I'll explain how I got past it in-case anyone else has any issues like I did...

making the bootable sd seemed straightforward and using NookHDplus-CWM-6028-for-internal-memory-rev0-(05.24.13) the sd card booted everytime, but for whatever reason I got mount errors with anything I tried to do in cwm. couldn't mount /sdcard, couldn't backup, nothing going... so I tried emmc-cwm-early2.1.img.gz and it would never boot properly into recovery, so again a no go... after a lot of getting myself pissed off, I was directed, or found (can't remember which at this point) verygreen's ovation-sdcard-twrp-files.zip and ended up fixing my issues by:

1. used win32diskimager to write the NookHDplus-CWM-6028-for-internal-memory-rev0-(05.24.13) image to my sd card

2. ejected then re-inserted it to make sure everything was showing up properly

3. deleted all file from the sd

4. copied files from ovation-sdcard-twrp-files.zip to the empty sdcard mentioned in steps 1-3

5. copied the rom(carbon duh!), recovery(twrp - I miss ext4, and sorry but cwm is horribly antiquated!!!) and gapps zip files to the aforementioned sdcard.

6. put aforementioned sdcard into HD+ and rebooted, BAM! first try, twrp loaded, it completed all the tasks I asked it to (wiping, installing, etc...) it did complain about not being able to mount /bootcache or something like that... but it wasn't a critical error as was the case with the first few tries...

so happy... now I'm off to sideload and setup and tweak! thanks again guys, gals, devs, contributors!

p.s. been searching for the most recent version of the nook reader app, newest I've found is 3.2, from oct 2012, is that right?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RustedRoot:
I've been running sakuractive which is likely the reason for the good battery life.

Here's one bug to ponder. Flashing a new B (ovation) ROM installs Sloth's contacts and contacts storage apps --as you would expect. However, it freezes Google from updating my contacts which in turn FC's Google Voice since it can't find a viable contact list. I've tried wiping data and even removing my Google account and then establishing it again, but it won't sync/update contacts. No biggie for me since I use Titanium Backup to restore verygreen's version of both files and I'm back in business.

I don't recall anyone else mentioning this issue, but I though it worthwhile to raise it anyway.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Strange, I've been using my girlfriends Google account since mine is a 2 step login with SMS verification, and it restores her contacts, but I also don't use Google voice so I might try tonight and see if it causes problems.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ShapeShifter499:
Oh crud I didn't notice that you had posted that you had swapped out Nova launcher for a default one, I lost my whole setup and had to re-configure everything D: BTW what was wrong with having Nova launcher, stability?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Nope, just some people preferred stock launcher and Nova can be obtained from play store. Figured it was for the best.

Make sure you take a backup within nova it has its own backup/restore function :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] blast0id:
still on B6 at the moment, but I just found an issue I think, not sure if I should post it here or somewhere else...

opening the app window via pie > long press on any icon > device hot reboots

HD+ running at default settings (B6)

Using Apex Pro (I know the app window is seperate from Apex)

edit must have been a fluke, now I can't reproduce it... weird...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Forced https connections with USB tethering on my phone, so I'm syncing up some new sources maybe bringing another flavour to nook hd/hd+

nope, still not stable enough to sync large projects :( internet service, its on my list of things to get lol
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
This ROM is literally twice as smooth without halo enabled!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RustedRoot:
What do you use for back-up then? Just nandroid? I assume the bulk of the 20 gigs is from data. Given how robust and flexible TB is I'd think you could exclude bulky apps from the back-up. (Note to TB developer: you owe me. Lol.)

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

I too use Google's 2-step log-in. A pain but worth it. It got me to thinking that it could be the problem, but then I realized it works with verygreen's CM10.1 emmc for HD+. BTW, I had not mentioned that contacts app FC on your versions of it and contact storage. Strange. Have you loaded Google's Authenticator app on your phone? It updates 2-step codes in real-time. Worth it.

Verygreen has a new touchscreen sensitivity app with GUI, but to save its settings requires his latest kernel which I presumed would be in B7 ovation, but it's not. Useless without it. (Note to Moderator and Mike T: I studiously avoided asking if and/or when it was going to be in subsequent builds. ;))

As an aside, I've seen -- in Titanium Backup -- the app Cell Broadcast Receiver that loads with your ROM. What's its function for our wi-fi only device? Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Cell broadcast receiver is just build with the ROM, included package. I could trim these down, but I don't know what might break if I do. Still very new to this device and WiFi only devices as well ;)

In regards to the touchscreen sensitivity app, I noticed that when I tried it too. He is a busy guy, and I use what he very generously releases for us. Soon enough the prime touch sensitivity settings will be default I'm sure.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] el34han:
Thank you

Want to express my deepest appreciation to you all bring us great ROMs for our Android devices. My life is much enjoyable with the result of your effort. Thank you.

BTW, been using Slimbean on Nook Tablet(hand-me-down from my wife :o) Slimbean's Pie Control is capable of doing two rings of buttons, 7 and 5 buttons on outter and inner rings. This has been extremly helpful for me. Wondering if this can be a future enhancement.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
Since you mentioned other flavors, just a suggestion on JellyBeer rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2332078

I installed it a couple of days ago on my N7 and it's pretty nice. It's basically a CM rom with the coolest extras, blended in a streamlined interface and lightweight. It runs very fast on the N7, so I made a dirty port for the Nook HD+ and it runs well.

It's got per app dpi, nav rings, nav buttons, ribbons, tab UI and other good stuff. I like the way the dev managed to keep the interface smooth and clutter-free. I've noticed a fair amount of discussion recently on a good dpi for the HD+, this rom makes per app & system dpi changes easy, as the interface is not as convoluted as PA. Btw, no Halo but I don't enable it on Carbon anyway.

After playing around with my dirty port for a while on the HD+, went back to Carbon B7...very satisified with it. Although, if you decided to build JellyBeer, I may be tempted to change. LOL

Take a look, see what you think. :)

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reatret:
Are we coming to the realization that halo will never be optimized for our HD+ :(
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
It's mostly just the animations while rendering halo, too much for HD+ lol
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Oh BTW Mike T,

Thanks for recommending using convolver settings. Banging out bass and so clear!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mbudden:
Looks like a great ROM. Going to give it a try.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] blast0id:
any chance of cooking it in? sounds like it's worth it, or is that not allowed by the dev?

or maybe a link in the second post or something so others don't have to go sifting...

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

not much screen on time though... I got almost 8hrs (screen on time) over the holiday weekend... and that was directly after flashing... I'm sure it'll get close to 9 now...

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
Viper has no problem with devs cooking it into their roms, he just won't allow it to be built into another sound mod. I actually archive it into the Carbon zip before I flash and while it's a great idea for KS to do so, that would be one more thing he has to support. ;) A link on the other hand would be great, the dev asks that you link to his OP here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

@killersloth

Glad you like Viper and in most cases, convolver does make a world of difference.

Mike T

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Seems like most people have trouble installing the right driver for their device, not knowing they have to install the irs files, or installing them in the wrong folder. As for the irs files for convolver, it's cool trying different ones to see what sounds best for different scenarios.

The only other issue is if you happen to be using another sound mod, not knowing if you should use compatible mode, normal or safe mode. It generally is easy to determine by a simple process of elimination. If it sounds good, cool. If it sounds like nothing's being processed, change modes.

Anyway, I love the mod, does the job for me.

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] blast0id:
no worries, I'm perfectly happy adding it to the romzip before flashing... thanks again for your hard work, I'll have some monetary support for you soon =)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reatret:
Id love for it to be built in :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] henry8668:
I use tasker to turn off wifi after display state changes to off (wait 30 seconds before turn off wifi). However I found that when this profile is activated, the sound is also turned off and it didn't restore when the display state changes to on.

Anyone know what could be wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Better stability on B7, no random reboots so far (~24h). Same speed as B6 (3 reboots in ~48h). Good battery life using interactive (7h screen time in the first charge cycle and hanging at 15%).

Great job killersloth!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
I'm trying this out, hasn't caused any problems on my HD+ that I can tell. Touch responsiveness seems better maybe? Placebo maybe?

Hasn't yet. Need for Speed and Nova3 are both playing well and I feel like I am getting less failed/missed touches.

That's why I went ahead and posted it, seemed like it needed more testing. Simple to add those features as default next build.

Hybrid Dual Stock + Carbon is possible ?

Hi All, I just did not find in this thread but I m looking to test carbon without lost my current stock install. as for an unknown reason my CWM boot not let me do backups. (give error "can't mount /system!")

Any hint?

thanks in advance!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Yes
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RustedRoot:
Flashed this zip (yes, install in recovery, Mr. Mullens.)

Not too much difference for me on touch responsiveness, but overall rendering seems a bit quicker and smoother. Ran Antutu and got 9005, but I have no reliable comparable. I too always wonder if the placebo effect is at work whenever I install these "improvements."
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rushless:
What do you guys mean by gpu rendering? Is this something extra applied to Carbon, or also in CM 10.1?

I know what the term means, hence figured the gpu was already natively doing this for graphics. If something extra, is it a placebo?

A good game to test is Asphalt 7, since not smooth on the HD+, but is on the HD. Those extra 2x pixels are killa'! TF700 is also not exactly smooth with that game.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
There definitely is some improvement in overall rendering but the thing that catches my attention is that navigating TWRP also seems more responsive. I browsed the Pure Graphics HD zipfile and I'm wondering if the touchscreen script can actually affect recovery (TWRP)???

What do you think KS, can a script in init.d affect the recovery partition?

As for the overall effect of the mod, I don't think it's placebo but I'm going to see how it holds up after using the Nook for an extended period.

Thanks for the tip.

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
I noticed last night that this version of TWRP says "loading boot scripts" when it starts. Init.d is just boot scripts so it is possible.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
Which version is that? I've been able to get NFS: Shift installed but utterly unable to get it to get the artwork download on first start.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Latest version of Most Wanted. Plays very well besides the occasional music stutter, no graphical lags or glitches though.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reatret:
Updated to B7 after being on b6 for a while. Feels much snappier :thumbup::D
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] 123421342:
Yeah I don't know if I said this already but I was trying to play VBA and snes games using a few emulators and the performance was bad. Guess what was the culprit :) Disable Halo if you want more speed. Its not just this rom/device tree because it happens on my DNA running carbon, but less so since the kernel was recently optimized or something. Long story short, halo causes slowdowns and now my nook is lightning fast.:D

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Jwoc12:
Just wanted to say thanks. Missed having an android toy to play with. Ordered an hd from Amazon ( because I had a Father's Day gift card). When I got it, couldn't register it, B&N said it was blacklisted (brand new, sealed). Contacted the seller, he apologized and immediately processed my refund and told me to keep it. I rooted it and flashed this rom and loving it! Still love the iPad mini, but having more "fun" with the nook! Again, really appreciate the work!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ShapeShifter499:
Did nothing... I know I got it to work on verygreen's cm10.1 EMMC rom.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
There's really nothing to figure out if you have a gender changer for the Nook cable. Just open verygreen's USB Host switcher app included in the rom and enable it, then plug in your device, that's it! USB Host worked fine on B6 and works on B7 as well, using a Sony 16GB flash drive.

Sorry, have no idea why you can't get it going but it's not the rom. Have you tried the same combo of cable/gender changer and the same USB devices on CM 10.1? I don't know what devices you're trying to connect but maybe they need external power.

EDIT: I see you said those same devices worked on CM 10.1, maybe just go back to CM 10.1 if you need USB Host.

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ShapeShifter499:
I tried a scandisk cruzer 4gb flash drive and yes I enabled USB host mode via the app that's included. Nothing is working. :/
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dmullens:
I don't think it's placebo at all. I noticed a difference right away. It also seems to have fixed an issue I was having with wallpapers. Thanks for the heads up!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
Just one last thought here, the flash drive is formatted as Fat32, right? Not positive but if it's exFat, may cause a problem with Carbon. Sorry, I can't think of anything else at this time.

EDIT: Just noticed in your sig, that you have the HD, not the HD+. Don't know if killersloth's kernel used in the HD has OTG support, his HD+ kernel does have the support. I'm sure he will respond to this.

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
I don't have a cable to test this, but I use the vendor, device, and kernel(+extras) that verygreen has available. If anyone else with a HD that uses USB host can try it out that would be excellent.

B8 is up.

Added the rendering tweaks for ovation +the usual merging of upstream changes :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lancorp:
And now, for something completely different...Nook HD+ audio and aptX!

Just bought a BT receiver for my car that supports aptX audio. Is there anything I can put on my HD+ that would use aptX to send audio?

Not sure if aptX is hardware or software...I saw earlier in this thread some discussion of an audio enhancement app, but now I can't find it.

Thanks to everyone for their continued work on Carbon!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RustedRoot:
I can confirm that battery life is unaffected by this GPU app. 2% loss in 12 hours is great. Still seems snappier as well.

Google "Viper4Android" the thread is the first result :)

Also aptx is proprietary software, with some searching I've found that it is included in touchwiz (Samsung stock firmware) based Roms only.

Googling "Viper4Android" shows me the developers forum thread, not the post in this forum that I was referring to. I think it was the Viper stuff...

Also, Mac OSX has aptX, so I thought it was a software implementation.

First time trying Carbon rom. Using 7/10 build.

Notes: install rom, then gapps, I only get google play when the rom boots and no other apps. I thought it at least installed a few more google apps.

Wallpaper issue. Changing the default wallpaper left me with a black background. Sleep then wake brought up the wallpaper but it didn't translate well in portrait or landscape mode when scrolling beyond home screen. Changing it to live wallpaper solved the problem for now.

I've had no lag or issues so far with carbon ROM. I'm not such a fan of these graphics mods that force a certain hw rendering. Can you include a revert patch or a branch unmodded? Oh and pretty please don't mod the sound.

These graphics and audio engines aren't built for this device. Audio especially would only be degraded by putting effects on it.

Edit: I just read about viper mod "clarity increasing" and healing sound technology... How much BS can they pack in? As a medical professional and a techie, this insults my intelligence.

In any case, its awesome that youre so passionate about improving things and listening to our feedback.
