Yes its working perfectly now for me mate... Loving the easy expanded desktop and the quick screen off. Thanks a lot :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Good to hear! :)

Note that you have to choose in the first menu if you want to use phone-style gestures or tablet ones. At first I thought I was doing something wrong as the screen didn't get my gestures but then I realised it took gestures for the phone (because I quit the app having selected that)!

Anyway I realised that custom gestures are always available in spite of what type of general gestures you choose.

That way I created one where I put two fingers on the screen and turn them counterclockwise to turn the screen off, and it works like a charm! :D

I'm trying to search for a method to turn the screen on for the Ultra (tap to wake) but I can't seem to find one...

Could Xposed framework be useful in some way?

I'm still trying to decide whether to install it or not...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
All touch to wake settings I've had on previous devices have been baked into the kernel. Even then I disabled them mostly as the kernel wakelock stopped deep sleep.

Im using exposed for the dpi app settings, and running the Xblast module as well for the CRT off effect, advanced power menu etc.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Yeah I guess it would drain a lot of battery...

Would you suggest installing it even without unlocking?

Main thing blocking me here is that if my ZU goes into boot loop I don't have the option to restore a nandroid backup... would a restore via PC companion repair that? Or would I have to reflash an ftf file? :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
I ran it for a few days without unlocking and didn't run into any issues. If you check the main exposed thread I'm sure he details how you can disable the framework over adb if you run into issues. So no you won't have to refresh the rom if the worse happens. Not as quick as restoring from custom recovery but not the end of the world either. For me it's very stable. The per app dpi settings are a godsend. :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Thanks mate, I'll try that and see what happens... ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
The only issue I now have with the gesture control app it that the service doesn't seem to autostart after a reboot. Am I missing something or does it work the same for everyone else?

edid*** cleared cache and fix permissions sorted it, I should have tried that first really :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I really wouldn't know... I rebooted like once since I got the phone... :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Man I tweak so much I reboot like 5 times a day.

GMD gesture control seems to fall over after a Titanium Backup run, I suspect TB stops the service and fails to restart it. Solved it by converting GMD to a system app :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
You got me a powerful drug my friend...

I installed Xposed along with Xblast Tools and I rebooted like ten times already... XD

Anyway, I customised a gesture done with pinching with three fingers to turn the screen off... combined with the CRT off effect of Xblast it seems like magic... Have a go and you'll see! :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
The crt off effect was one of the first things in enabled last week :)

Currently I have the following modules installed. If you find anything else useful let me know. I have the power menu installed as the one in Xblast was only working intermittently for me.

A tip.. Don't install gravity box, its not compatible with the ultra and will spin out your phone :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I also installed the quick settings which enables you to hold on a setting tile in the notifications area to go to that specific setting in the settings app.

I use the "clear data" button to get rid of all the recent apps at once, and i enabled the ram bar within the recent apps.

:)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
I forgot about that I have the kill recent apps and memory bar thing installed as well. I'll try the recent settings toggle though

This is fantastic! It hasnt been mentioned in a Flyer thread for quite some time.

I was about to sell my Flyer and buy a Note mostly because the notes apps on the Flyer weren't that fantastic. But Quill is just brilliant. The pen is sensitive and precise and it can disable recognising your hand so it doesnt spoil your notes.

It would be great if there was a scroll up button / next page button at the bottom, so you could access these easily in a hurry.

This is a fab app, many thx to the devs!

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TooMuchSloeGin:
I am a complete HD+/Android 4.x noob, but I am not new to fiddling with various "unofficial" firmware projects (CHDK, rockbox...). So in the spirit of hacking it if it's hackable I prepared a 4gb sd card (Kingston, cl 4) with the "new" method of partitioning, formatting and copying the 5 CWM Recovery files plus 2 zips for Universal Root and Enabling unknown sources. (BTW, the NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip which I also downloaded and inspected sports a partition type of FAT32 (0x0B) and not FAT32 LBA (0x0C), as seems to be required.)

Anyway, this sd booted repeatedly (4 or 5 times) without any trouble on my brandnew HD+. However, I decided not yet to go ahead with installing anything as the thing was still at stock firmware 2.0.4.

I duly let it update itself... and what an efficient process that was: from 2.0.4 to 2.0.6 to 2.1.0 to 2.1.1 -- but that's another story.

(An aside for those folks whose HD+ doesn't want to boot from sd: after this update marathon the very same sd card and the very same HD+, with only the firmware updated to 2.1.1, wouldn't boot anymore from sd. I *knew* the card was bootable so I kept going and after many dozens of attempts it finally did boot. Weird.)

Finally booted into CWM, I duly installed the two zips for root and unknown sources, removed the sd card and rebooted. The bright "nook" screen came up, quickly followed by another screen for a thing called cyanoboot. The HD+ continued after a few secs and booted into the rooted stock. If an sd card is installed, it will sometimes boot from that and sometimes boot into stock.

I now wonder whether installing this 2nd loader (ie cyanoboot) is standard and to be expected when rooting the HD+? I did google for that but I found no clear answer.

Here's a 2nd question. I can't access the HD+ via MTP, one reason why I have to root it anyway. However, I've seen that there are CWM Recovery versions out there which seem to be able to mount some or all of the internal partitions so that they can be accessed via USB ("Mounts and storages" >> "Mount USB storage"). Sadly this option doesn't exist within the 6.0.2.8 I've installed.

Anyone got an idea where or how I can find one of those versions? If not, for the various Nook Touches, there's a addon called noogie that mounts the internal partitions and makes them all accessible via USB. Does something similar exist for the Nook HDs?

Thanks for any help or hints.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Wow, long post, but interesting data. But I will attempt to answer.

Yes, as of the Universal Root rev3, the second bootloader is used to be able to root easily. That second bootloader allows removal of the original file protection scheme that B&N had in the original boot.img. My previous versions did not use that and were more complex. See my HD/HD+ Tips thread linked in my signature for a description of that file protection scheme.

As for MTP in stock, it does work. You need to be sure you have Android Debugging disabled in settings.

You can get verygreen's CWM v6.0.3.2 in the link in my item 5 in my CWM thread where you got the root. He also has TWRP there. But I don't know if they have those features you want. Some of the partition mounts were purposely removed because users were formatting critical partitions and bricking their devices.

And I know of nothing like noogie for this device.

Interesting what you found about the partition types in my burnable image. I just had a devil of a time making a new bootable SD for TWRP recently. That may be why.

And the aside about booting after upgrading is interesting. Booting is controlled by the chip firmware and cannot be changed with flashing ROMs. So it baffles me.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TooMuchSloeGin:
Thanks for your post.

So that means that Cyanoboot (or something CB loads) removes file protection on the fly? I was assuming something along these lines. Maybe a hint in the relevant thread that this is to be expected would be a good idea. I for one was somewhat surprised when that CB screen popped up... but with the sd card removed:confused:

Anyway I've since installed CWM on the HD+ itself.

Oh, I am sure it does. But MTP isn't supported by my desktop machine and I do not plan to change that. It would be great if I just could dd the various HD+ partitions onto my desktop machine (and back, if needed). That's why I asked for some sort of noogie for ND+.

Well, I just checked the first 512 bytes of the image file (ie the MBR), but never burned it. And there, the partition type seems to be 0x0B.

Well, that's what one would think. Perhaps the whole pre-booting process is so brittle that even small external differences (say in temperature or some such thing) can influence the booting behaviour. All I know is that the sd card booted okay and always on the first attempt with v2.0.4 whenever I tried it and that it took me 50+ attempts with v2.1.1. But I am not going back to v2.0.4 to investigate...
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes, the second bootloader (CB) allows removal of the file protection. It gets removed permanently. I will add that warning to expect cyanoboot to my Universal Root item. Thanks.

And you can easily back up your partitions right on the device. Look at my HD/HD+ Tips thread linked in my signature. I have an item that describes how there. You can use Terminal Emulator to do it.

Terminal Emulator

Speaking of which... is there anything out there with some usable line editing capabilities? I'm currently using jackpal's Android-Terminal-Emulator (sorry, can't yet post URLs) but that's not very good at line editing.

I'd also like to replace sh with zsh or some such. Anyone tried that?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Not sure wat you mean by line editing. You mean text file editing? Or editing a line of text you typed in the TE?

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TooMuchSloeGin:
The latter... recalling, editing etc. actual command lines.

I installed the jackpal TE on my Nook Simple Touch (runs Android 2.1) and plan to use it on the HD+ as well, if I find no better option. So far I've not really looked into whether and how I can customise its keyboard handling, so any hints are very welcome.

I am used to zsh on my desktops but it seems that's not a viable option here. The HD+ being my first "real" Android machine, I've got no clear picture what's available. I will probably put CM on the it but I have no idea what is included with it.

EDIT: I've just installed CM10.1.3 (nice...) and see that the jackpal TE is included. What's more, on the HD+ it does support some sort of command line editing capability (it doesn't seem to have these when installed on a Nook Simple Touch -- or else I am too daft to find or enable them there).

Anyway, that seems to be sorted now, though a more powerful shell would be a nice thing to have.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
Actually there's a thing that the kernel could influence. If the reboot is "soft", then the boot tables survive in the SoC and are set up in such a way that the boot fro emmc is attempted. That's the default for crashes, for example, so it boots of emmc instead of sdcard (leading to 99% hang of old before we changed the partitioning scheme).

Normal reboot is hacked to do a cold restart and is just powering the device on from the off state naturally. And that defaults to boot from sdcard first and if that fails, goes on to do emmc boot.

I have not seen any changes to default to non-cold boot on normal reboots, but I also saw frequent crashes on shutdown (that still result in reboot of course so user is none the wiser, except the thing boots off emmc even with sdcard still in. Presense of the /proc/last_kmsg file is the giveaway, though).

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Actually it's not a permanent removal in a sense that the next firmware update will write an unpatched kernel boot image back and the file protection would thus be restored, so you better be able to catch it that instant to reflash the patched boot.img or you'dd get through the 8 reboots and the factory reset that follows.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Not exactly. My testing has shown that the patch updates from B&N fail with your boot.img installed. It has an assert statement that tries to verify the boot.img before it patches it. Of course that fails and it aborts the update. The only way your boot.img gets replaced is with a full ROM flash, which B&N does not do with automatic updates. Users usually have to do that themselves. That is why I call it permanent.

Edit: Of course an 8 failed boot would replace it too, but there is no reason for that to happen with your awesome boot.img installed.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verygreen:
Oh, interesting. I did not know there was a partial update available, only the full rom zip that is also available at the support page.

In any case it would sound strange if they only tried to binary patch boot.img instead of writign a full copy of the new one, it's a gzipped image either way so minute changes inside might mean that the entire thing immensely changes after compression.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yeah, partial updates is how B&N does OTA automatic updates. That keeps the downloads small. But they do use binary patches for everything, including boot.img.

I'm not sure what you mean by bootloader recycling. You mean continuously booting only to CWM, or the boot logo (that is the bootloader) just sits there and then it reboots again? The bootloader is supposed to show on every boot, that is how it loads the next step.

My guess is that won't help at this stage, but just change the npk to zip and flash it.

What do you mean, USB connectivity? You mean MTP so you can transfer files or do you mean ADB? If you mean MTP, be sure to have android degugging off in settings.

You can tell if unknown sources is enabled if you can side load apps. Try to open an apk file and see if it installs.
