I wiped everything again several times and installed 2.3.9 and the problems stopped.

I did it 10/16 or 17, shortly after reading your post about this.

However, yesterday, I began getting random reboots again, 2-4 times a day. Even when the tablet is just sitting there. Every morning I turn it on I know it has rebooted itself since the screen has changed (its no longer on the app I left open).

To clarify I did not install anything new over the period. I am running very minimal apps: IMDB, Flixter, Perfect Viewer, QuickPic, X-plore, Thumb Keyboard and various gapps (G+, youtube, Drive, Play Magazines etc). It is possible it might be one of the apps, I dont remember when I have installed them all. Drive and Flixter were among the last ones I installed.

I did *not* do an emmc wipe because I don't know how, I did not see the option in recovery. Could you tell me how to do an emmc wipe on this device?

Is there a specific recovery version you recommend I run? I had an issue w/ my father's Samsung i717 where a certain ROM would *not* work with the latest TWRP no matter what, we had to revert several releases back for everything to work.

I ran the code to get chips used and it outputted this:

SEM16G

0x000045

Not sure if those are bad or not, is there a place to check?

As I mentioned I earlier, I bought this tablet refurbished by B&N on discount, although everyone looked 100% brand new when I received it. Is it possible my tablet is at fault?

Thanks again for all your hard work. Still the ROM I use daily.

P.S. I dont know if it means anything, but the reboots are *very* fast. Much faster than if I were to manual reboot it. Tablet boots in seconds (5-7) and android is ready to use without any lag. If it wasn't for the 'Carbon' boot screen I would've thought the shell crashed.

Edit: Forgot to mention I use Tablet UI, are there bugs w/ it? I could use another UI as long I could move the navigation buttons to the left/right side so I can reach them with my thumbs.

Any help?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pinguy1982:
Did you do a full wipe?

You need to wipe user data before flashing the ROM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ilvtrance:
Zero issues with this rom. Love it. Very stable. no reboots. I can see some people having issues if they don't follow directions and they try to restore backups from prior roms.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tonyrance:
Thanks for the update. I will give this a try later on today :)

Greatly appreciate the effort!

What version of CWM are you using?

Everyone who has this rom working 100% what version of CWM are you guys running?

(just curious).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pinguy1982:
Use this version: http://d-h.st/B8y

Then run this in CWM: Format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)

Install the ROM first because it will wipe the SD and all the data.

Does this ROM runnig better then CM 10.1?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jpisini:
It really depends on the device and apps. I find for me yes it is definitely smoother.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] riboswitch:
Hey guys, I wanted to try this rom, but I have really limited time for this stuff.

Had CM 10.1 installed and it lagged really hard, even small pdf's couldn't be read lagfree..

What do you think runs more fast/smooth and stable?

Carbon JB3 or the Tweaked Xperia rom?

Greetz
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jpisini:
For me this ROM runs smother than the newer Carbon. To be honest I have not been overly impressed with 4.3 based Roms ( they seem very buggy )I am hoping 4.4 will turn that around. I am really hoping someone can port it to our device.

Ok I installed the rom and its great this far!

Even though I wiped all data and cache my apps were still installed after installing this rom over my cm 10.1.

What do I need to do to get a clean install?

I think thats also the reason why it is still a bit laggy

Greetz
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jpisini:
Unfortunately I can't compare the two. I use a Bluetooth keyboard so slim is no good to me. I will probably play with it someday.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jpisini:
It obviously did not do a real wipe. Without knowing what you did and with what version of what program you did it with there is not much we can do to help. Try wiping again is all I can tell you. Sorry.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] riboswitch:
Wiped again and suddenly it worked!

But how come that it doesnt delete all the data on the emulated 0 driver?

I mean there was the rom.zip storaged but still available after full wipe.

Any idea how can i use voodoo sound with this rom? Included kernel does not support it and i have no clue if and which i can flash over. Thanx
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] euqilobaid:
After using CM 10.2 for over a month decided to return to ROMs based on 4.2 since the experience on 4.3 ROM was less smooth, less stable and less buggy. I decided to try This Tweaked Xperia ROM and i must say it's great! Fast, stable and smooth - all there is i want from the ROM. I'm glad i didn't roll back to CM 10.1 since i would miss this great ROM.

I know it isn't nice to nag about adding/removing features from the ROM, but IMHO it has too many apps preinstalled which can be downloaded from the Play store. Also, since those are 3rd party apps i'm not sure if it's in line with their ToS/EULA/whatever to add them to the ROM this way. Anyway, i've spent 15 min uninstalling apps i don't need.

This ROM is stable, smooth, well optimized and rock solid. I highly recommend it over CM 10.1 or CM 10.2. Feels much smoother, faster (more responsive) and better optimized.

I've only had my Nook a few days, and my first (and only) install has been 4.4/CM11 install/boot from SD. It seems to be fine, and I'm using Nova as my launcher. I've read through this thread, though, and am considering flashing this instead. Any comparisons to share on performance, battery life, features, etc.? Hats off to Pinguy for continued updating and involvement here.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jdjohn:
I went ahead and downloaded this, and compared Antutu scores with a CM11 ROM.

Updated to version 2.4.1

Changes:

Add extra fonts.

Replaced Kernel with "Yellow kernel"

For the "OK Google" hot word to work you need to copy QuickSearchBox.apk from /system/app to your SD card with Root Browser. Then delete QuickSearchBox.apk from /system/app. Go to your SD where you saved QuickSearchBox.apk and install it.

The issue is the new Google Now Launcher needs the latest version of QuickSearchBox.apk installed for it to work. The problem is if you install Google Search to system it breaks the "OK Google" hot word feature. The only way for it to work is to install Google Search to data.

I tried adding an older version of Google Search to the system and the latest version to data in the install zip. But what happens is when it is installing it copys the newer version of Google Search to the system.

The issue will fix itself once an update to Google Search is released as the update will get installed to data. But if you want the "OK Google" hot word feature working now just follow the instructions I have posted.

another question would be:

would it be a bad idea to flash "touch-ovation-kernel-trim-8x8" with this Tweaked Xperia V2.3.9 ROM?

is there Trim/touch fix incorporated? is it bad idea do load trim 8x8 touch fix kernel with this one?

thank you again for your hard work!!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pinguy1982:
I would wait. After using the ROM for a few hours "Yellow kernel" is really buggy. I am re-uploading the ROM with the default Cyanogenmod kernel.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] zbig0:
yeah just noticed(from the start some errors and looks different,dont seenova :( and no carbon) going back to 2.3.9 carbon-xperia got used to it :) anyway thanks and regards

OK it's uploaded now.

Xperia-2.4-CARBON-JB-B11-ovation.zip - 332.15 MB

Been running this for a few hours. Haven't had any issues. This will be the last upload for today.

If you do have any issues flash this over the ROM:

ovation-kernel-cm10.1.3_Default.zip - 4.07 MB

To go back to the kernel the ROM ships with flash this:

ovation-kernel-cm10.1.3_v19.zip - 3.77 MB
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jpisini:
What is the difference between this one and the one I downloaded a couple of days ago also listed as 2.4 this one is bigger.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pinguy1982:
Xperia-2.4.1-CARBON-JB-B11-ovation.zip - 346.58 MB

As this is using the "Yellow kernel" it maybe a bit buggy. It took a few reboots for everything to settle down for me, but once it did I haven't had any issues.

It is a lot faster with the "Yellow kernel" but if you are finding it unstable you can flash this ovation-kernel-cm10.1.3_Default.zip - 4.07 MB to install the default cyanogenmod kernel.

When flashing the ROM it will replace your recovery with TWRP. This version of TWRP can format cache and data to F2FS. This will wipe everything off of the internal sd. So backup before formatting.

Using the "Yellow kernel" with F2FS I am seeing really good benchmarks.

I have also modified the way the memory is used giving you more free memory to run more apps at once.

Install and have a play. I have only been running the ROM for a few hours so there are probably bugs I have missed. But overall everything seems to be working fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] zbig0:
thanks for this new rom for now Im setup with 2.3.9 and trim 8x8 but for future was wondering is there trim or every some time all need to be re-loaded(when lags starts to show up)?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jpisini:
There is trim it comes with lagfix to do the trimming.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] zbig0:
cool then downloading and aiming this will be my next Rom hopefully shortly :D

is there some special procedure installing it?

I was doing:

-SD card boot and to cwm

-install/load from SD zip file->mail ROM

-install gaaps

-done

just wanted to confirm Im not missing something and wanted to gain full power of this ROM

("can format cache and data to F2FS" if its not auto how to force to format cache and data to F2FS? or its automatic if you dont have it this way)?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] toke07:
My God, so exciting that you come back! Love to try new build :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] adwait.bhandari:
Cant be too sure about that. This is cm10.1. I remember asking the dev a long time back if I could run lagfix if I had the affected emmc and he said no. I dont think this has been patched for the trim bug. The dev has included lagfix because his emmc version is not affected by the trim bug. Thus better not to use lagfix.

Xperia-2.4.2-CARBON-JB-B11-ovation.zip - 348.85 MB

The ROM is the same as 2.4.1, all I have done is odexed the ROM so it uses less memory.

Once you have installed all of your apps open Terminal and type:

su
dexo -dat

This will odex all the apps in data. To see a full list of commands to odex the ROM look here. Just don't odex framework because it will break the ROM.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pinguy1982:
Due to the ROM being Odexed it needs to be a fresh/clean install. Been running it for 3 days and haven't had any issues. If you do a cache format apps will force close. The ROM is a install once and leave alone. It will run fine if you do a clean install and just use it as normal.

Xperia-2.4.6-CARBON-JB-B11-ovation.zip - 389.54 MB

If you are having issues with the odexed version of 2.4.6 here is the deodexed version.

On first install "Google Search" will crash. Just click the OK button a few times until it goes away. Once it is gone open "Root Browser" go to data/app and give it root permission then install com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk by clicking on it.

Xperia-2.4.6-CARBON-JB-B11-DEODEXED-ovation.zip - 403.70 MB

If you are using F2FS you will need to flash the "yellow kernel" after installing 2.4.6 as the default kernel doesn't support F2FS.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jpisini:
I wil have to double check which of the last few did work for me I think it was 2.4 but not sure. This one installs and boots to a desktop for me but apps are flakey. Xposed forces a reboot, root browser won't install it's utilities and many apps are slow compared to older versions of your Rom.

Another press of the home button usually fixes that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] gugman:

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] krsboimo0o0o:
I was just testing out 2.3.9 and it is pretty smooth and stable so far. One question though, what apps are safe to delete from the system folder? I deleted all the social media stuff and all the xperia apks except walkman and the image stuff. Also gmail, hangouts, any mobile data stuff and launchers. I installed adw first.

Also I haven't tried the latest version, but 403mb is pretty massive.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JeauxAdam:
Even if you delete all the system apps you want it won't increase the user app space available to you unless you were able to repartition the internal sdcard. So really you would only be doing it to make your app drawer less cluttered.

Sir, once again you have done an amazing work
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] krsboimo0o0o:
Well that's one of the reasons I do it, less app drawer clutter. I don't like having a lot of apps installed. Especially ones installed to system that get a lot of updates. Plus a lot of things like to run on start up. I use android tuner a lot to remedy most of those things.

I wouldn't mind having a 512mb swap file on my internal SD though, even if it is slower than dirt. IMO.

However, I still want to try again, what gapps ver did you use, fella?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] gugman:
Yes it's still 4.2.2

Now, what i did is full wipe, not only factory reset but full format of internal drive, after that i installed the rom and since no issues at all, i did not install gaps seperatly as it was included in the rom? As far as i remember. Any questions just let me know will try my best to help
