That's what I did. I spent around six hours trying to fix a dirty install over CM10.1. The dirty install preserves your apps and settings (if it works). However, I would suggest that you update your backup (using Titanium Backup or any backup app you use) and then wipe data/factory reset before installing CM10.2. I installed CM10.2 img, gapps and Superuser zip together and restored most of my apps and settings within the first hour.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] kareinanikko:
Make sure you also clear dalvik cache, battery stats and format internal sd. And please don't restore apps from Titanium Backup

I installed 10.2 dirty but everything seems to work fine.

Try Greenify donated version it allows you to hibernate system apps to free up RAM
[Nook HD, HD+ General] excalibar001:
I personally do not think that restoring user apps from Titanium backup will do any harm to your system. I know that it also backups system apps and settings which should not be transferred to CM10.2 but user apps, e.g., Facebook can safely be restored from backup. Just make sure that you have updated the latest version of your apps or else you may have to update them immediately in Play store. Even then, you retain all your settings which is important for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] pdx1138:
Though I have not yet installed 10.2

I really appreciate you starting this thread so I know what I'm in for when I do.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
Thanks for the info. Since the only issue I have is some lag that is likely more hardware than software related and one game "Vice City" not working, I will pass for now. Can not be bothered starting from scratch with over 200 apps and about 17GB in total size. Not seeing the value-add in relation to current performance. Comics, video, browsing, emulators, games and Flash all perform fine. A little UI and app start lag seems the lesser of the "evils". Especially since I doubt software can compensate for a 4470 with 760mb of free ram and a older gpu pushing a 1080p display. The lower res Nook has none of the lag and is quite zippy. Only real difference is less than half the pixles to push.

Seems likely I could go through the effort and still have the lag. Added: I am tired of that word "lag". I prefer the "L" word.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] excalibar001:
I would say this upgrade is worth the hassle to go through a fresh install. My main motivation to upgrade to 10.2 was the presence of TRIM support which both increase the responsiveness and life of emmc. I have read [Leapliner] the trim app some people installed in 10.1 bricked their tablets so upgrading was the only option. If you make an update of your user apps, a fresh install will take less than an hour. Also make sure to take a nandroid backup. Even if something goes wrong, you can have your old setup back in a flash.

Dirty Install

I did a dirty update, but my results were largely different from yours.

1) Superuser works for me.

2) You used the old gapps (20130726), and I used the new (20130813) so I had no issues with the play store.

3) It was really laggy until I discovered that it only seems to like ( on my tablet anyway ) the ondemand governor with the cfq scheduler.

I have lost a few apps/widgets, but nothing that I miss so far ( stuff like 'Temp + Cpu v2 ), but it screwed up gl to sd until I manually edited its .xml file.

I update to 10.2 20130814 from 10.1 20130813, and it seems to be working but I have a lot more live testing to do...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bpaulien:
That's good info to have. I'll try ondemand with cfq scheduler, and see if that helps. The only thing I noticed was that it was "slightly" slower than the 10.1 version. But not horribly so. I'll give this a try and see if it helps.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
My stable pre 10.2 nightly salutes all of you folks that jumped in!

I will remain peaking out of a bunker, twenty fathoms below sea level until a common trend of opinion is it is worth it- not seeing that yet. :)

Unless lag free, I see no reason to take the six hours (really) to download and set-up everything again. 272 apps at 17GB total. So far, some state it is

actually slower and some say faster- net result though at this point seems a net wash.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jpisini:
That is how I feel too. It is slower but not enough to make me migrate back.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Holysmoke99:
stable? you have a stable build? my 10.1 reboots at the worst times
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
The nightly just before 10.2 version has had zero reboots for me and very low battery bleed in standby. Not seeing how 10.2 is worth it ATM since for every person raving, another is either having issues, or a slightly slower device. This does not include folks that installed over 10.1 rather than start from scratch.

Looking forward to 10.2 with feedback that is more favorable for performance to offset my apathy for starting from scratch.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] RageAgain:
Understandable. I am not having the same slowdowns and lag that occurred with the 20130814 now that I have updated to the 20130815 of the 10.2. Much smoother and more responsive, as now it never doesn't wake up right away when I push the power button, and the lock screen responds immediately. I have had no spontaneous reboots, and my screen hasn't gone black momentarily at all. Hopefully this positive trend will continue. My only current issue is the apps that no longer work, or no longer work correctly. Still a far larger percentage work without incident than not, and the ones that don't are mostly Android 4.3 problems and not Nook HD(+) problems so they will be fixed eventually.

All in all, I would say that 4.3 isn't as bad as it was initially made out to be...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bpaulien:
I agree. I'm one who said it was slightly slower than 10.1 initially, but after updating to the 0815 nightly version, it doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Although, I also changed the governor to OnDemand, and scheduler to cfq, like I heard from somebody who got better results with that configuration, on another post somewhere... So I don't know if it was one or the other, or a combination of both. But I have no complaints with the current setup.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sudheersagar:
Could you please let us know what you did for the dirty update, I am planning to upgrade from CM10.1 to CM10.2 without loosing the Apps and User profiles(?) For normal updates in CM10.1, I just run the ROM update choosing the Update file (No cache clearing etc, it automatically update without going to CMW recovery mode, at least i dont have to choose any options in this kind of update). If this is not correct method of Upgrading to 10.2, could you please provide all the steps that i need to do. Thanks in advance.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] RageAgain:
First, I am using the TWRP recovery and not the CMW, as I just wanted the touch...

The steps that I took were just, in TWRP choose both the update file and the gapps file and let it install both. Then I cleared the cache and dalvik cache, and rebooted. I usually wait until it settles down after the initial boot and then reboot.

So, in CMW, I guess that would be ( they way I used to do it in CMW anyway ):

1) Reboot into CMW

1a) When in doubt, do a backup

2) Install System update

3) Install Gapps ( 4.3 version latest that I used was the 20130813 )

4) Clear/wipe cache and dalvik cache

5) Reboot into Android and wait til it stops fiddling with itself

6) Reboot again

It is the method I have used since my Acer A500 days...

SU Still Mishandling Environment

Even with the SuperSU package linked in the first post, I'm still having issues with SU misbehaving in terms of how environmental variables are handled. In 10.1 I can pass pretty much whatever I want into the su session, and it behaves quite similarly to su running on a linux desktop. In 10.2, I can't pass anything, even with the --preserve-environment flag (which shouldn't even be necessary, since I'm not using -l.) SuperSU doesn't seem to improve the situation much, except for making su usable in the shell again. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I in the minority of people that wants to pass things like PATH and ZDOTDIR into my su session? Is this a security feature of Android 4.3, or just a quirk with SU at this point?

I've tried some test cases to illustrate this behavior:

CM 10.1 20130813

[user@Cyan /]% su -v
13 com.android.settings
[user@Cyan /]% export TESTVAR=1234
[user@Cyan /]% su
[root@Cyan /]# echo $TESTVAR
1234

CM 10.2 20130815 w/ SuperSU linked in OP

u0_a41@android:/ $ su -v
1.51:SUPERSU
u0_a41@android:/ $ export TESTVAR=12345
u0_a41@android:/ $ su
root@android:/ # echo $TESTVAR

root@android:/ # exit
3|u0_a41@android:/ $ su --preserve-environment
root@android:/ # echo $TESTAR

CM 10.2 20130815 without SuperSU had the same result, but had really broken output.

CM 10.2 20130817 has the same behavior as the previous nightly.

android keyboard

Is anybody else experiencing issues with the keyboard not working?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] king200:
Seems to be a common problem. I got around it by installing the Google keyboard, which I find much better anyway. Others have done the same. I was able to do via a result with TiBU. I read someone else used voice.

Regarding the emmc issues - I also have a Nook HD+ 16GB which reports as MAG2GA and 0x000015.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] hooah212002:
I've only had that issue when installing the wrong GAPPS, which is pretty easy to do since the 4.2.2 compatible GAPPS is only 1 digit different from the 4.3.

I'm running fine on the 8/21 nightly, the only 2 things that aren't working for me are the kindle app (well known issue) and my vpn connections SAY they're connected, but no traffic goes through the tunnel. Identical settings on a stock Nexus 7 work fine. I've been scouring the forums to see if someone has encountered this on 10.x but haven't seen anything relevant to what I'm experiencing.

...and, if verygreen is reading, since I can't post in the developer forum yet, this is a Nook HD+ 32 and I have MBG4GA 0x000015 memory controller.

Any luck w/ 10.2 and Kindle app?

Tho to be fair, Kindle broke with 10.1 8-13 build (8-11 works fine) so I don't think it's 10.2 exclusive. But whatever broke it has carried into 10.2

Upgraded to 8/26 Nightly, location still not working with MAPS.

Weather location is still not working with the Clock Widget, if you pick a specific location then it does update.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] king200:
I was successful in getting MAPS and Beautiful Widgets to do the geolocation fine. Run MAPS, turn off WiFi and turn it back on. After resuming WiFi, look at current location or plan a route from current location to anywhere else. The Satellite view (Earth) works from the MAPS too.

The WiFi problem was something we had early on and then went in updates. Back with CM10.2. The fix I used is the same. You can glance at the early posts and you'll see it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mrme12:
But when you turn off the WiFi how do you get the location? Nook uses WiFi connection to identify the location since there is no GPS
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Taosaur:
I've wasted so much time trying to get to a stable system with any of the CM builds for the HD+, and now that it's not boot-looping every time it goes to sleep, I discover that the one thing I wanted to do--read my current Kindle Whispersync book--does not work. Also, 10.2 seems to have even more incompatibilities, including the one game I actually play sometimes, Zen Pinball HD.

I'm thinking my next move is taking the HD+ back to stock, which worked fine for me for weeks after they added Play. The CM UI is nearly as gimped as stock with the lack of Tablet UI, anyway. The only things I'm giving up are Recent Apps and Google Voice/GrooveIP. I do hope development continues, but I need a daily driver.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] king200:
You have to turn off WiFi and then turn back on. My post is unclear.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] stevetrooper:
Thanks, I knew about that trick, I just wanted to report that it is still not fixed without using the wifi trick. :) I am hoping one of the nightly builds will fix this. It worked great in CM 10.1.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rhyang:
I took the plunge with the 8/15 SD install of 10.2 on my HD+. While nice, it did have a habit of rebooting nightly into the Nook stock ROM.

Then I installed 8/22 on the SD (just flashed the ROM over top of 8/15, so I was able to keep my apps**), which seems to have fixed the rebooting problem. Really happy with it.

The usual caveats apply: Kindle app doesn't work, location only works with wifi toggle trick. REI Visa app doesn't work for some reason (works on other 4.3 systems and on stock ROM, didn't work on 8/15 either).

Some other strange things:

1. If I reboot (now an infrequent occurrence), the wallpaper reverts to the green thing it started up with when I initially installed CM.

2. Sometimes the wallpaper freezes and reverts. I am using Nova launcher, with one of the live wallpapers. Maybe I should go back to Trebuchet ?

Really pleased with 10.2 outside of these quirks. Hope the feedback helps !

** -- is this the right way to upgrade the SD install, or is it better to reformat the card entirely ?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] NookE:
I am running CM10.1 20130817 Nightly and can pair my anker ultra-slim Bluetooth keyboard without a problem. However it does not work on any CM10.2 nightly that has been released thus far.

When attempting to pair I am able to enter the six digit pairing pin and hit enter on the keyboard and it is recognized by the tablet by closing the pin pairing window. On 10.1 the Bluetooth icon in the status bar lights up at this point, but on 10.2 it does not and I can't use the keyboard for input even though it seems to have recognized the pin being entered. Any ideas how to fix this or why it's happening?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mrme12:
Got it. It worked. Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Onageric:
verygreen had some very stable 10.1 builds before it started going nightly with CM. CM's last 10.2 nightly also seemed very stable to me as well.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Taosaur:
My 8/26 10.2 was stable for a day or two, then came down with the reboots again. And it's not just stability; the CM 10+ builds don't have a decisive advantage over stock. CM's file structure is a pain in the ass (Google's doing, I know), the notification and navigation bars are only a slight improvement without Tablet UI, and no magazine app on the market stands up to the HD+ native reader IMO. Right now I'm more interested in the hobbies I pursue on my tablet (mainly ebooks, audiobooks, comics, and magazines) than having the tablet be a hobby unto itself.

The only things I miss from CM/JB are the recent apps interface and the lock screen. Otherwise, I'm using the same launcher and all the apps I actually use on my tablet are working. The Zen Pinball issue I mentioned before, though, seems to be on the app's end--it's incompatible on stock now, too, where it was working on both stock and CM 10.1 a couple months ago.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] adwait.bhandari:
CM10.2 Nighlies have been awesome for me. The only problem I had was that the Chrome app crashed constantly so i just started using UC browserHD. Otherwise its fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Taosaur:
I haven't had that problem, but it would be a dealbreaker. I'm not big on mobile browsing, but syncing with my desktop Chrome and remembering my last session are the two things that make it useful. Otherwise, Maps comes in handy a lot more often than the browser, though again syncing with my desktop searches is a big factor. Honestly though, all of that applies to my phone more than my tablet. The tablet is a reader and media platform more than anything. It's not a "mobile device" for me except insofar as a book or magazine in my bag would be a "mobile device." It was different when I was using public transportation, but now the tablet is mainly a multimedia reading device for (mainly) home use. In that role, stock just seems more robust despite the lack of modern finishes.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Sherip:
I was also having problems with Chrome. I removed updates and it was OK again (that option is in Apps in Settings). Then someone suggested I try Chrome Beta and that's been super. I disabled Chrome in App Settings and use Chrome Beta exclusively now.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] mr72:
FWIW, I tried CM10.2, several of the nightlies, had basically the same problems with all of them, so I am back at CM10.1.

- CM10.2 is noticeably slower and more "jerky" than CM10.1

- constant boot loops when rebooting unless I boot into recovery and wipe the cache... this was a deal breaker for me

- some of my games, such as the one I actually play most often (Pool Bar HD), do not work on CM10.2 and work fine on 10.1
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
I agree with your perspective and still use the final 10.1 nightly as standard. Another issue is Flash does not function as well with 10.2. Some browsers work better than others, but hit and miss. The sweet spot (for me at least) MIGHT be the final 10.1 nightly with 402M heap size and 16K color depth set. More tests tonight to see if this mix really pans out with more use. Key being: Lag mitigation.

As far as 16K color, I can not tell the difference with image quality or shading degrees, so wonder if it really does change the depth to 16K and if it really does lower the load to the GPU. I am a tad skeptical about this, but do know the previous gpu drivers caused issues with16K.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] adwait.bhandari:
The flickering happens to my nook hd+ too. It mainly happens while charging. I thought it was because I was using the Nexus 7 charger (the official charger became damaged. The orange light would glow but no charging) .Apparently not.

Searching for WIFI APs not working

Hi all.

After I upgraded to 10.2.1 on my Nook HD (from 10.1.3) the wifi search is acting up.

The update itself was effortless and everything worked from the beginning.

I didn't wipe anything and all stuff was kept intact.

This issue was also mentioned in cyanogenmod forum.

The solution is to reboot or sometimes to turn airplane mode off and back on.

After a while though wifi search stops working again.

Has anybody else experienced that and are there any solutions?
