uh oh.. i just installed the latest version cm-11-20140303-NIGHTLY-acclaim and i am now experiencing some kind of boot loop. The thing flashes to the 'n" screen then the screen goes blank. then the process repeats.

there is nothing i can do. power button hold down for 30 seconds holding the 'n' button. I don't know what to do . I can't go into recovery so I cant revert to an older version.

please advise.

make bootable sd card reinstall cwm and then install to a previous nightly.

thank if it works :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] crash613:
I'll try that this afternoon.. I am not sure if it will work because it never gets past the screen with the 'w' before it starts over. I'll post my results
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
not sure if you know wut i mean by bootable sd card. i mean make a cwm bootable sd card lol.

Succulent has several bootable SD card images for the NT on this page: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/category/nook-2/

UPDATE:

found a thread that suggested, of all things, that i simply switch USB cables. I did that.... it continued to boot then go to the 'n' screen then turn off and start over for about 20 minutes....

I left it doing that all night. This morning it was powered off. When i turned it on it booted right up. go figure.

here is a link, if anyone in interested: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/74593-wont-charge-and-boot-loop-cant-get-to-recovery/

I love CM11 and it is very stable, but please fix "Your device isn't compatible with this version" error.

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
i think that has to do with the actual apps makers not updated their app to be compatible with android 4.4.2? not sure
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Zuul86:
I don't think that is the case. My Nexus 5 is running 4.4.2 and it doesn't get that message on the same apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Juanito216:
The NT has been "more incompatible" with apps since CM 10.2.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
It's because the Google Play app is very restrictive as to what apps will be deemed "compatable", and if the developer was

competent in building his application

If you dont have a camera, as on the NOOK tablet, then apps that declare they need a camera stand a good chance of not being installed by Google Play.

I find myself using 1mobile.com far more than Google Play store these days.

stolen from the web:

"Android system itself does not check for matching feature support on the device before installing an application. However, other services (such as Google Play) or applications may check your application's <uses-feature> declarations as part of handling or interacting with your application. For this reason, it's very important that you declare all of the features (from the list below) that your application uses.

In some cases, the permissions that you request through can affect how your application is filtered by Google Play.

If you request a hardware-related permission — CAMERA, for example — Google Play assumes that your application requires the underlying hardware feature and filters the application from devices that do not offer it. "

cm11 NOOK tablet storage

is there anyone out there looking at the issue around SDCard0 / SDCard1 / emulated storage on this build?

Hi

I don't manage to insall cm 11 coming Form 10.2 . I first installed twrp recovery 2.7.0 from goomanager. This should do the job doesn't it?

I'm using the original NT with 16gb.

With or without wipe it just doesn't install. Giving error messages.

I tried m builds or newer nightlies. It always gives the same result. Afterwards I habe to reinstall cm 10.2 to be able to usw the NT again.

What are your experiences?

I'd suggest you try CWM recovery version 6.0.4.5 or later. Also, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50828000&postcount=1 for some potentially helpful pointers on how to upgrade from 10.2 to 11.

FWIW I've been using the M4 snapshot and I am generally happy with its performance -- it's much better than the performance of 10.2 and earlier 11 builds. One thing I noticed is that the clock occasionally does not advance while the NT is asleep.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Martin1739:
Thanks Digimax,

With the cwm it works. Even without wipe!

I didn't want to use fastboot that's why I'm really thankfull for your help.

edit

never mind - I was trying to install demtris kernel at the same time and that evidently wont fly....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fuzi0719:
I have the clock problem on 10.2.1. When the tablet sleeps for an extended period the clock loses a LOT of time. But, the battery will last an exceptionally long time (over a week on standby). With Wi-Fi set to not turn off during sleep, the clock does not lose time, but standby time is reduced to a couple of days at most.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Another issue I found is the NT following an inactivity timeout sometimes wakes up in homescreen rather than lockscreen mode.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
how does the m4 build compare to stable 10.1.3? I've been on that for a while and.. eh I could use an upgrade. 10.1.3 is pretty fast for me and it has the clock issue but I get a week of battery (have wifi set to turn off when the tab is asleep) and I occasionally get the ducati crash in YouTube/other apps (video freezes, force stop app but audio keeps playing until I reboot)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
my opinion after trying this official nightly, with and without enhanced kernels, for some time is that

succulents Feb07 is by far and away the best rom available for the Nook tablet

http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2014...droid-4-4-2-for-nook-tablet-sdcxxx-01jan2013/

(link is 01jan but his CM11.0 KitKat (Android 4.4.2) for Nook Tablet (SDC/IMG) (07FEB2013) is just about perfect. )

This official rom has major issues with the way it handles storage. I have yet to find an app that understands the internal storage correctly. Most file managers are confused about what's going on.

Succulent's has internal as sdcard, and everything works.

apps that normally complain about needing an sdcard , dont.

It gets faster benchmark tests.

The only bug I have seen in using it for a while is that WiFi geolocation doesnt work, so apps like weather, Google Maps, or web pages that want to feed you content based on location dont get the location.

just my 2¢
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
yeah the bad handling of storage is an issue with Kitkat, it's been acknowledged before, and google would be dumb not to fix it (i think android 4.4.3 is in the pipeline so we'll see)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I think M4 is more snappy, also (so far) no random reboot nor boot crash.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
thanks i might just wait until either android 4.4.3 comes out, or the stable version of 11.. or both? also have you been affected majorly by the sdcard mounting issue in kitkat? (where internal is sdcard1 and external is sdcard0 despite being the other way around on earlier versions)

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

i think there's actually an Xposed Framework module that fixes the storage issues in kitkat for.. like any device. but is that relevant for this tab?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
It has not been a problem as I have an external SD card inserted at all times (although I too prefer the way it used to be -- the external SD card is entirely optional).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
oh ok yeah i have so many microSD cards that i just keep one in the nook for no reason :p

i'm probably gonna take the plunge to kitkat tonight. thanks for the advice :good:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
my experience has been, its not optional

Nook reader, Aldiko, and even Dolphin browser REQUIRE an sd card to be in the slot to work on the current config.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
don't use those apps :p besides, dolphin has become extremely bloated lately imo
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I seem to recall it's been this way since CM10.1.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
but with storage configured the way it is in succulents rom, and the way it was in early nightlies of this cm11 official,

nothing required or choked on an sd card not being in the slot.

it worked the way you would want it to.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
hey don't blame CM, blame google. they're the one who did the changing around of stuff. oh and also there's an Xposed Framework module that lets you rearrange the storage stuff
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
It's got nothing to do with Google's new stricter permissions and issues around storage.

It has to do with this build being changed to accomodate CM Updater.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
well.. i just flashed M4 and i have absolutely 0 issues. the storage partitions being changed around isn't a huge deal for me.. but then again i barely have any apps on my nook and i have an 8GB microSD in the tab at all times. i'm not exactly sure how to help you but just.. whatever floats your boat man.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] petewr:
Is it an issue with KitKat, or is it just an issue with KitKat on the Nook Tablet? After all, the NT was never really meant to run anything above Android 2.2. Sorta like my old AMD 2 core motherboard, processor and video card are not meant to run any thing besides Windows XP/7 or 8, but I have been running 64 bit Snow Leopard (Mac OS-X 10.6.8) on it for a couple of years now. And that same operating system works on my new Haswell i5 cpu and MSI H81M-33 mother board with H81 Intel chipset. Which it is not supposed to.

That is really why we run these, because we like doing things that are supposed to be impossible.

We do the improbable, the impossible just takes a little longer.:laugh::laugh:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fuzi0719:
I'm now running the M4 of CM11 and it is very snappy. Since I always keep a 16GB card in, I haven't had any storage issues. The one issue I've faced is the dreaded Play Store not allowing installation of many apps due to "not compatible with this device". I also have a question about ART. I see that it is available, but is there any advantage from using ART (vs. Dalvik) on the NT? Any issues of stability or compatibility?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Many of us got around this "not compatible with this device" issue by getting the affected apps from 1Mobile rather than from Google Playstore.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
nah dude it's a known issue with Kitkat. for devices with two storage partitions anyway
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
ODD

i think it is odd that i havnt been here in a good while and honestly i don't see any changes WUT-SO-EVER. it seems this partition issue is becoming more of a topic and is not being resolved. and again.......honestly, other devs are requesting this option and i dont understand why it is being neglected other than on purpose.......but who knows. hope it gets resolved because there seems to be no progress as of now imo. but im sure some1 thinks im dumb and incorrect.

i believe in you chris, no expectations, so do what you are able :fingers-crossed:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
does anyone else notice like a 5% battery drop during a given day (with wifi off, gps off, not using it)? on 10.1.3 i was getting like no battery drop at all during a single day. just something i noticed, it might be due to the location being broken. i'm gonna try to restore a nandroid backup.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Floating Point:
I`m not really concerned about the sdcard issue, I know that at some point someone will be able to fix that, what really bothers me are the unfixed problems that haven't been fixed for a long time, I'm talking about the ducati crashes and wi-fi battery drain, if it haven't been fixed after so long, it means that the tablet will have to live with those problems forever. The first one regarding ducati have been plaguing us since android 4.x, causes problems like the famigerate video playback freeze with audio going on in background in Youtube and freezes android default gallery app. when trying to render miniatures for the interface, the second problem causes a huge battery drain due tablet being unable to deep sleep with wi-fi on, the only way to solve this is setting up a third party app. to disable wi-fi when screen is off, but this cut any chances of sync or downloads, what isn't an ideal solution.

Isn't this normal? I mean, even in deep sleep, the tablet is still on draining battery. 5% for a day looks fine to me, even with stock B&N that has proper fully working drivers my nook could go for 3 weeks in deep sleep.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I used to encountered this problem but have not had it (yet?) since CM11.

My NT when unused runs down about 2-3% daily.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
Android actually has a built-in solution in the advanced menu in wifi settings that lets you choose when you want the tablet to keep wifi on, but it doesn't seem that it works on kitkat. i know it works in jellybean though.

also with cm10.1.3 i do lose maybe like 1-3% each day, which isn't bad, and i was losing like 5% every day on kitkat. eh. depends on usage really. i hardly ever use my tablet but that's just me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Floating Point:
No, it still happens, it can be easily reproduced in Youtube and default android gallery application.

In advanced settings you can change settings for wi-fi behavior during tablet inactivity under Keep wi-fi on during sleep, when Always is selected sync notifications works fine but forget about your battery, it will last a single day. If Only When plugged in or Never is selected, wi-fi deep sleep will work fine but you have to give up from background syncs and polling since wi-fi will be turned off when screen is off.

I use my tablet everyday to read and watch videos but I can`t rely on it for receiving e-mails or other stuff because wi-fi need to be turned off everytime screen is off to save battery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
yeah that is kind of an issue but i have a phone so that kinda gets me emails.. also the nook is not reliable as an alarm because if wifi is off the clock sticks to whatever time it was on when it was locked until the phone is unlocked.

Snapshot M5 is released and posted.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] diptenkrom:
Just installed cm11 m5 and it world great with ART. Much Moor responsive and fluid than with cm10.1. My only complaint is with it seeming to just shut off at random. If I set it down for a little while, like 5-10 mins, when I go to use it again it boots instead of waking up.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jay_xander:
I'm getting insufficient storage available. I can't install any apps currently. I have plenty of storage space, and even after I uninstall a few other apps, I still can't install a new app. Even a small app.

I'm on M5 right now, but I experienced this also on M4. I managed to install an app after uninstalling something else on M4, but it's not working now.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Are you using a SD card?

If not, your problem likely has to do with these apps expecting storage space on /sdcard which unfortunately gets mapped to an external SD card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jay_xander:
I am using an SD card. The root is running off of EMMC though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] petewr:
You can put in a freshly built 32g micro-sd card and it would still tell you you don't have enough space.

It is part of that problem with EMMc shifting from the internal sd to the external sd card.

there is a way to fix it, but I will have to redo my research into it before I can tell you how. However you will still be stuck with the EMMc on the external card problem.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jay_xander:
I'm installing to the internal disk, it says something like 4.5GB available. Then another 8GB or so on the SD. Then the other internal partition there's another 7GB or so.

Should I try repartitioning to one internal 16GB disk, as it should have been? I'm a little nervous doing that as I'm a noob.

Is there a way to bump up to stick to a minimum of 30fps to have smooth display ?

No it actually sucks really bad. I've never had my tablet shutdown randomly so often. I get about 5-7 shutdowns per day. It doesn't even reboot, it just goes off.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I'd suggest trying a

clean

(i.e. with wipe /data & factory reset) re-install using a snapshot build or a recent nightly build that others have reported good result with.

If that does no cure it, something might wrong with your NT hardware.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] naveen_reloaded:
Can anyone help me on my issue ? (posted few post above) .. Please.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jay_xander:
While I'm not necessarily getting shutdowns, mine freezes up. Constantly. To the point I have to turn it off by holding power button. Also, for a few apps, it won't reload the app after it already was running. If I'm using the app and switch apps, and then want to go back to that app, it'll get stuck on the loading screen. One app in particular is Clash of Clans. If I want to play that again after already being open, I have to reboot.

To get ART working, did a clean install of cm11, used the GAPPS from an un-official Galaxy S3 build, that are stripped down. On first boot I skipped all the setups (cm account, google account) and set the device to ART, it took several tries before it actually booted, it got a crash on the boot screen and got stuck on the upgrading android screen a few times.

excellent work on this initial build. very nice. will try to figure out this logcat thingy to help out, only thing i suffer from is my launcher won't show up and of course the ART not working. ever. seem to be the only one. k off to read, learn, and contribute to the cause. ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] murkurie:
it works quite well, I did get it boot the full PA GAPPS and art enabled, but google search would force close non-stop, so you would be stuck on the lock screen because the GEL launcher would never load. I never tried the mini PA GAPPS. The biggest issue is the surfaceflinger crashing when converting to art
