Quick update, I checked again this morning and the nook still wasn't reading the card. So I left it sitting for a few hours and just checked again and I was able to read the card, seeing all my data and Roms and everything. So now I'm wondering if I should just go back to Slimbean which I've been using for the last several months without incident. I don't want to be stuck with no sdcard again if this was due to something in the carbon ROM.

Has anybody else experienced the nook suddenly losing the ability to read the card? Either on the Carbon ROM or any other?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] succulent:
This is kernel related.

You need to enable,

HD+ problems

Dear Pros!

I've been using my Nook hd+ for a few month, and I have tried many different roms. (Sure, I have CWM)

Now I'm using the latest version of this rom. (12:05 wifi update, non mw)

Recently I faced quite a few problems.

1. My battery level does not go over 80%. Tried to reset dalvik cache.

2. The back, menu and the "switch between apps" line disappeared.

3. My Nook hd+ is very slow.

4. Nook hd+ resets randomly.

5. Carbon Fibers stopped working at every start. (As far as I know this is usual.)

Please let me know the instructions what to do, because this way my tablet is not usable.

Does trim worth the risk?

I'm thinking about changing to CM, because it supports that, (thought dangerous...)

I suppose that the main cause of the slow speed of my tablet is that it does not have any trim, and I've been using it for a long time.

Can you offer me a rom, which is very basic but STABLE and does not have any of the above problems?

(I do not need HALOOOO))) and other feuters.)

Thank you in advance.

Tom
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
The battery thing raises questions. You can boot your HD+ into stock from the Sdcard and see if the battery charges properly then. If not it is either the HD+ or charger.

If the battery checks ok, from your recovery, do a factory reset to keep your existing rom but take out the Sdcard before you boot into system. A fauly MicroSD card causes many errors that are improperly flagged. If you are ok at this point, you can install any of the roms in the Android Development section. In my opinion, Carbon Rom is most usable.

Seems to me that the trim kernel is the least of your problems now.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
Thanks guys.

If there are more people working on kitkat, I wonder if we should not have a separate thread for this? Helping each other get the builds to boot and address bugs?

KitKat, 4.4, cm-11 thread

I think that is a great idea. We could use a separate thread for kitkat, 4.4, and cm-11. There is lots of work that needs to be done and tips could be traded and problems solved. It would put all the discussion in one location instead of the middle of your thread.

I just built using succulent's device trees. It works. I finally got a boot. I need to figure out just what I was doing that didn't work.

I also wish I knew where succulent's kernel source is. His blog states a 3.0.101 version. I am still on 3.0.31. Jealousy is rearing its ugly head.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
See my post here, might be a good thread for general KitKat discussion until you and/or drmarble release a build in the dev section. Succulent gave me permission to post a link to his builds, asked me to put it in general section. Which makes sense, since I'm not the dev for it. :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48714651#post48714651

@supergroverthm

That link you posted is for the dev succulent (aka Iamafanof) and his rom builds are great. See my link above for more info and if you're not comfortable flashing this rom, wait until jisoo and/or drmarble release a build.

Took a leap of faith. Installed CM11 from site. Error. Reboot, showed something about fixing the boot. Pressed power too quickly. Nook stuck in bootloader. Restart. Held power and nook to boot into CWM. Updated CWM to one on site. Reinstalled CM11. Reboot. Stuck again. Reboot into CWM. Installed Xperia Carbon ROM. Reboot. Gets pass the cyanoboot screen. Turned off nook. Reboot into CWM. Installed CM11... Woohoo KITKAT here you are.

The lesson from above is to update CWM to one posted on the iamafanof WordPress site first and then do a clean internal install of the CM11 ROM. BTW, I didn't try the SD card version.

So far no BT and some glitches like the tablet going into lock screen mode after checking navigation bar option. Like the option to cast screen but can't try until I get back home with my chromecast device.

Thanks Mike. I was in the middle of trying out the ROM. Good to know iamafanof is a trusted dev.

BT seems to be working after flashing GAPPS. ☺
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
Glad you got it working! Bluetooth is working for me, succulent mentions that you just need an initial reboot to get it going. But, let's not clog up jisoo's Carbon thread. Any further discussion of the 4.4 rom would be better off in the thread I linked in my earlier post. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48714651#post48714651

I'm having power boot options. Does anyone know what might be the cause. If I let the battery drain to zero it has issues charging and just bootloops
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] fanoush:
Happened to me with two sandisks 32GB class4 over last year. Your card may be dying. Save all data now. There was bad batch of this card year ago. The symptoms are that it looks empty and it reports size of 32MB! (not GB) and all blocks are zero - even partition table. Check kernel log for size and try to read it with dd in this state to confirm.

First it happens only sometimes and then it becomes worse and once it stays in that 32MB state no matter what. Strange is that when it gets detected fine, there are no errors until you remove it and next time it is blank again (or not). And for me it helped to put it in a freezer (!!) in micro to full sd adapter just before putting it to card reader to recover my data when it already appeared dead. Looks like the controller inside the card either 'boots' fine or not when the card gets power. For me the lower temperature helped to get it detected, then it worked for hours until removed so I could recover my data. Google for something like sandisk 32gb now empty 32mb, there are more people with this problem. Someone even written somewhere that Sandisk admitted it was bad batch and will replace the card for you. I got both my cards replaced.

I've been having an issue with unlocking my device, even on other ROMs.

Sometimes when I unlock from the lockscreen, for a second it looks like the device is unlocked, but then it locks again. It keeps doing this... sometimes it will unlock after a few tries, sometimes I have to reboot the device.

This happens both when waking with the power button/n button, and a magnetic cover.

Is there any fix for this issue?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
I've not heard of that one. If it's a "one off" issue, I generally chock it up to a bad flash. Honestly, I would probably backup, then wipe data and flash again.

On my 1st CM flash on my new nook, the ASOP keyboard would fc.

I've been using Swype on my phone devices for a long time. I think it's working well for me on my nook
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
Swype is by far the best in my opinion - particularly if you like to swipe or dictate. Everybody seems to love SwiftKey, and I tried it several times - even bought it, thinking I was missing something - but I always come back to Swype. They updated their voice typing this fall with continuous dictation, which works amazing. Just don't use it at a coffee shop ;)

On my phone, I use Swiftkey. i found out recently that swiftkey has a "thumb typing" mode as well, so if you own it it may just be a changing of the layouts. http://www.swiftkey.net/en/blog/layouts-for-living-now-available/

I've been running the B11 CarbonRom build that KillerSloth put out a while back and I've noticed it has a random reboot problem, and will turn itself back on if I try and power off while the wifi is still active. Have these issues been fixed?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] marscandybars:
Running this on EMMC mode. I have issues with turning on the tablet if the battery drains to zero. It simply will not charge or boot. I will have to boot via sd card and charge in recovery mode before I can get it to boot normally. If i charge it before it dies it is fine. Is there any way to fix this?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] LucaToo:
Have had the same issue - although I find that if I leave the HD+ charging for a half-hour or so it will eventually boot.

There must be a minimum charge level required for boot..?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] marscandybars:
If it gets really dead it simply won't charge. It will just keep boot looping but wont actually charge the battery. I'm wondering if maybe just going to an SD bootable build will just completely remedy this or ... is there something that can be addressed with the way EMMC boots? ::shrug::

4.4 testing -- volunteers wanted

OK, I finally have an unofficial Carbon-KK (4.4) build which boots -- in large part thanks to Hashcode (for his work on the omap kernel) and verygreen (for the device tree update -- I honestly suck at figuring out how Android mounts partitions and would not have been able to build this without his sources).

I'd like to see if there are any volunteers to test the ovation and hummingbird builds before I "release" these. Especially hummingbird (HD) testing would be welcome as I do not have that device myself.

Be aware that you will have to update your recovery to support 4.4, and the kernel will have trim enabled by default (although the consensus is that this is safe, I make absolutely no guarantees it does not brick your device!)

I would also hope that when you encounter bugs, you are able to capture logcat/dmesg and share those with me. The goal would be to test the builds for about a week and hope they are ready for release after this.

Please PM me if you are interested.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Nolfer:
Got nook hd+ and downloaded the ovation latest build from op's first post. Ovation is for hd+ isn't it?

EDIT: Never mind, I used the cwm recovery sd here showthread.php?t=2062613 and flashed carbon, aroma selectable gapps and trim kernel and everything is allright.

Carbon fibers is buggy, sometimes it fc, sometimes it doesn't display the options to the right of the screen
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
4.4 KK Unofficial build -- ovation only

Here is an up-to-date 4.4 KitKat unofficial Carbon build for ovation only (unfortunately the hummingbird build does not seem to boot).

Quite a few features are still missing, and work needs to be done on proper tablet support. I expect the situation will improve over the next few weeks, but in the meanwhile if someone is itching to update, below are download links to updated CWM and Carbon zips.

You will obviously need kitkat-compatible gapps. If you want to use ART (which I didn't try), you need art-compatible gapps.

Dirty flashing over the 4.3 builds seems to work fine as long as you remember to wipe both /cache and dalvik-cache.

Known bugs include Launcher3 and Superuser (just the settings, not the actual app) crashing, settings crash on BT unpairing, and graphical glitches in CarbonFibers. Also CRT effect orientation is wrong.

HW bugs should be same as in the current CM-11.0 builds, but there should not be additional ones.

On the other hand, bootanimation is now working fine, so some ground lost but other ground gained!

Big thanks go to verygreen for bringing the device trees up to 4.4(CM-11.0) and hashcode for kernel updates. And to the TeamCarbon for their work on the ROM, of course!

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
Thanks. I did not start a new thread because at is is, Carbon KK is fairly incomplete (no halo, no pie) and my build is buggy (some of the setting crash or glitch).

I still hope to come back to this in the next couple of weeks with a build which is good enough to be published in its own thread. Meanwhile, I have been looking at porting other ROMs, but don't have any of these at a stable state yet so I'm still playing around...

Thanks for this. For my needs, Carbon offers the most complete feature set, so I'm happy to see this new build.

Just an FYI, my preferred DPI is 320 and Carbon Fibers works fine at that DPI. It may also work at other DPIs between 240 and 320 but I haven't tried, thanks again.

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
Thanks. The problem with CF (and the rest of the settings package) is that it doesn't work well with multi-pane fragments. I've tried to deal with this by forcing settings to go into single-pane mode, but I still need to do the same for Carbon Fibers.

I'm afraid this is not within my area of expertize, though, so it'll be a trial & error type of a bugfix...

Of course, should Carbon start to support large tablets (like they used to do with the Nexus 10), the situation might become easier.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
How did you look in Carbon Fibers when it force closes with the stock dpi? :D

You edit the dpi in the build prop manually with any file explorer that has root capability, or use an app that can change dpi for you. I believe Rom Toolbox can do it either way.

Mike T
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RALIR:
Mike T,

Thank you for the quick reply. I was able to go into carbon fibers without any problem of forced closure.

Based on your comment I am wondering if I should leave well enough alone.

Early on, I had some problems with keyboard not showing up when needed. Somebody suggested reflashing the carbon ROM again, which I did. It looked as if the problem was solved, but reappeared. So I did not use my Nook HD+ for nearly a month.

When I started using it again, not only everything is good so far (Knock on wood), but also carbon fibers settings were available for me to play with.

So I am just going to leave everything where it is.

Best Regards,

ALL-F2FS Carbon ROM 4.3

As requested I just converted to ALL-F2FS latest Carbon ROM 4.3

Swapped in Jon Lee's v23 kernel.

DOWNLOAD CARBON ROM 4.3 ALL-F2FS

The rom has a couple of bugs (i used a kernel compiled for CM, Carbon has different mountings):

- External SD is not mounted (copy everything you need to internal SD)

- When connected to PC as media device, Nook HD+ is not shown to copy files

I will not fix these bugs.

Instructions to run ALL-F2FS

- Install and use TWRP RECOVERY:

- Move all your data to external SD (internal will be wiped next step)

- Do an 'Advanced Wipe' and individually go through and convert System, Data, and Cache to F2FS.

- Install rom and gapps

All credits to jisoo and Jon Lee.

If You will ask to, i will remove this rom.
