Hi Chris,

Installed 20140202 nightly, on a 16GB unit and this is what I'm seeing so far

booting incredibly quickly

multiple reboots , tethered to USB, tethered to NOOK charger, untethered, kicking it off by inserting the charger

havent seen any booting fails

QuadrantStandard scores 2250-2350, even though this rom is notably faster than cm10.2, the parameters quadrant is testing I think are geared towards the video hardware so not a surprise

might be the first color/tablet rom that doesnt need volume boosters

----

clean install (wipe data,cache,system,dalvik)

gapps not yet installed

----

standard UI not usable in landscape , icon labels not seen, search bar hidden

looks reasonable in portrait

no sd card - moving icons around , or adding icons to home yields

Unfortunately, trebuchet has stopped

insert sd card, still getting

Unfortunately, trebuchet has stopped

reboot

no sd card - moving icons around , or adding icons to home gets

Unfortunately, trebuchet has stopped (I usually clear all but the center home pane)

in file manager (sdcard in slot)

tapping on an apk to install, unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped

attempting to re- install app prompted an unbelieveably quick reboot (cm11 boot animation screen)

after reboot ,

process android.process.media has stopped on home screen, in file manager

and attempting to re- install app prompted an unbelieveably quick reboot (cm11 boot animation screen)

after the android.process.media fc, contents of sdcard0 not visible in file manager

---------

complete power down and restart with card in place

"Unfortunately, trebuchet has stopped" seems to be kicked off if you want to add/remove from any pane other than the main home pane, in other words swiping left or right to add an icon seems to instigate it

once those addl left/right panes have been established, it seems to calm down

---------

someone earlier in the thread asked about youtube HD not playing, I didnt see any problems in the earlier nightly,

and on the 20140202 nightly youtube version 5.3.32, or in the browser, I dont see any issues playing HD.

BSPlayer Free only working sporadically, not related to playback, general issues of fc or open/immediate close, clear data brings it back

---------

If I can test anything specific , I'm happy to, and I'd offer bribes for user control over SDcard0/SDcard1

Thanks again for your efforts.

im getting trebuchet force closes everytime i go from portrait to landscape and vice versa. also for the past like 4-5 nightlies i've noticed that the option of 2 different launchers is not available anymore. and the launcher which i like more is the only one now. now its called trebuchet. not launcher 3 or something. my point is, im unable to do voice commands for google anymore. no more "ok google" and the browser pops up. anyone know of a fix? btw super smooth rom bro. congrats :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rajsris:
Rom is very smooth, but I don't notice much of a speed increase during boot. I use nova launcher, so I don't have any rotation force closes or anything.

If you search for GoogleHome.apk, you will find the stock Nexus5 kitkat launcher which enables 'OK Google' and such.

Hello,

On a clean install of yesterdays' nightly, I went to 1mobile market and added "google search" app, 19.5 mb v3.1.24.941712.arm, and after that install, both the supplied "search" , and the "google search" versions of search worked with voice.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
i dont want a thrid party kitkat launcher on top of the launcher provided by CM just to enable google now. thx anyways.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sik-1:
Actually cm's launcher is the third party hence why it doesn't allow the Google now to work properly
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
well is there a way to revert back to the previous launcher without installing an app to do it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] VashTS:
I am unable to flash to this rom, I tried updating CWM, I'm on v5.xxx but that fails as well.

Anyone got a link to a CWM update so I can get my nook tab on CM11? Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sik-1:
Yea I think open mic on the play store should do it
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] petewr:
Get the ROM, if you don't already have it, go into CWM and just reinstall it. That will put back all the missing parts.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Flashing CM11 requires CWM version 6.0.4.5 or later, or TWRP version 2.6.3.0 or later. You can find the SD version of TWRP 2.6.3.x at http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/acclaim.

If you are already on CM10 you can also first update the emmc recovery, then use it to install CM11 and the corresponding Gapps. To update emmc /recovery, use SD based recovery to flash a flashable recovery zip that contains the new emmc recovery version -- see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49024436&postcount=105 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49111924&postcount=8.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Milehighmeltdown:
Flashed this great rom with the latest nightly this morning, loaded all my favorite apps, no issues at all yet.

I wipe cache and dalvik cache, install rom, wipe cache and dalvik again and do a factory restore. then install gapps.

this ensures a clean install and reduces chances of problems.

Thanks for the great work Chris!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Chunky Monkey:
Rock solid.

I had some WiFi issues since the supplicant revert since 1/20 build. They seem totally fixed now. Little odd because I don't notice any relevant changes in the M3 build changelog. Might just be missing it though.

Now is definitely the time to try the ROM out if you have been holding off. You won't be sorry.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] reverenddak:
Dirty updated to M3 from a Jan nightly, wiped cache and dalvik, didnt reinstall gapps. so far no problems. Though CMUpdater sends the wrong SD card location to CWM. So I have to manually update.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
it is a great rom. also not seeing anything different on m3 havnt tried nightly 11 yet. rotation to portrait still causes trebuchet to fail occasionally. not near as bad as it previous was. now i dont have to use kcin launcher anymore. thx chris :):good:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Milehighmeltdown:
Update, day two on this ROM, still not a single issue, no force closes not reboots, nothing. Have noticed an increase in battery life which I am totally ecstatic about. Think Ill stick with the 2-10 nightly for awhile.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
well scratch my previous statement about trebuchet closing after screen rotation. because its happening more frequent now. which means that its still a problem for me. what im saying rly isnt for chris because i know how will figure it out sooner or later its more for the people who try the recent nightlies and m3 rom. everything is super kosher accept this. but as stated by someone else previously, in order to get around this u should dload an alternate kitkat launcher. IMO i think Kcin launcher is the best. which is what im going back too. because the CM launcher is going ape s..t! thx all and thx especially to you chris. no1 else will do it and we as a community applaud you for your selfless contributions to the nook tablet!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Chunky Monkey:
Haven't noticed the issues with trebuchet because I've been running ADW and it is working just fine.

swapping sdcard0 / sdcard1

Hello, and again, thanks chris for this great rom. Its the one Ive been waiting for a long time.

but I have a HUGE (for me ) problem

I believe Im stating this correctly but anyone feel free to chirp in.

early nightlies of this rom mounted emmc/internal storage as sdcard0, and the external as sdcard1

on the 16gb units I use for supporting a good size chunk of people I have Internal storage as 8GB, not the old B&N default of 1GB .

this configuration of internal being SDCard0 for me was perfect.

And I understand why the flip was done, to accomodate CM updating, and internal became sdcard1 and external became sdcard0

(CWM 6.0.4.5 loads the internal as sdcard0. theres posts about modifying or getting a newer version for update compatability that mounts it according to the "new" scheme)

my experience is that many apps need to find storage at sdcard0, so

if you have a 16gb unit with an 8gb internal, you still need to use a physical microSD card, quite uneccesarily

I dont care about auto cm updates, I dont want to have units auto updating, I lock em in to a setup that works.

Im not a linux guy, but from what I gather, the boot.img is where these mounts are created, and to change it , boot.img needs to be unpacked , modified, and repacked.

Ive tried several apps and scripts, and perhaps in a long time I could figure it out, but

is there anyone up to the challenge of taking the boot image from any of the recent nightlies or M3 snapshot and looking into this?

I might not even be correct in my assumption about how those mounts are created, but, Im asking for help

I'd be forever grateful.

Thanks

I sent a fix to cyanogenmod gerrit :)

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/59342/

But if nook is not repartitioned internal is only 1gb
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
Hi Demetris, does that code review mean that

It was flipped back

AND

cmupdater will now work as well?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
On both the previous M2 and current M3 snapshots, occasionally upon exiting an app my Nova Launcher wallpaper would go black (though other home/lock screen functions still work). The only way I know to restore the wallpaper is to reboot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Maybe the best way of doing the storage would be to have emulated storage on the internal (8gb or 15gb), then sdcard 1 as the other internal partition (8gb or 1gb) and then sdcard2 as the real external sdcard.

But this will break existing installs and I don't think I would have time to provide migration help. So people would have to do that on their own or reinstall from scratch.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
I can do it if you like but yes reinstall from scratch will be needed as internal has to be formated ext4
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
just my 2¢

if there is a 4gb sdcard0 on 8gb units, or an 8gb sdcard0 on 16gb on units that have been repartitioned, and the data portion is a semi-hidden area of storage that the users have to learn how to manipulate in explorer/file managers, to me that is palatable.

I appreciate both of your's responsiveness on this. The idea that I HAD to provide an SD card on the 16GB units was just painful.

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
You don't need to manipulate anything as when you use emulated SD you put symlink s to the new mounts so file managers etc work as it is. Transition is transparent
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
What it really does is joining /data with internal SD so you have all the internal sdcard space to install many apps/games and bigger internal sdcard. You can't mount internal or external as mass storage any more though you only can use mtp
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rling:
Updated CMW. Installed latest nightly build (12th Feb). Installed GApps. working fine on initial testing. Trebuchet launcher crashing only issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] petewr:
Try Kcin Launcher downloaded from the Play Store.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Why would we need to reformat? Internal fat partition would just be as usual. No?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I'd vote to keep the existing partition structure (with the sd0/sd1 mounting revert fix) in the official builds, and provide a special build branch for the proposed combined data/media partition configuration.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] plantucha:
I don't think it will happened.

Another build?

We wanna simplify.

Most mainstream and most automated ROM is way forward.

Sent from my Evo 3D CDMA
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
That's not what I wanted to do. I wanted both /data and /data/media from userdata partition (emulated sdcard). And then /storage/sdcard0 the other internal partition and /storage/sdcard1 the external real sdcard.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Milehighmeltdown:
Maybe its the way I wiped cache twice and did a factory reset but I have had no issues with trebuchet closing on me, been on the 2/10 nightly for four days, not a single issue. Maybe Im just lucky...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Just to confirm my understanding of the structure you outlined: I'm not sure if you meant:

current /userdata partition hosting both /data and /data/media and appearing as emulated storage

current /media partition appearing as sdcard0

external sdcard as sdcard1

or:

single new /userdata partition combining the space of existing /userdata and /media partitions, hosting /data and /data/media and appearing as emulated storage

/data/media (inside the new /userdata partition) appearing as sdcard0

external sdcard as sdcard1

If it's the latter, what would happen to user's media content when one does a "wipe /data" in recovery?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
I was talking about doing the the first option.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
OK, I tried it. Seems that if you have emulated storage, you can't move apps any more to sd card (or other partition) at all anymore. So the 8GB/8GB nooks would be kind of screwed. Arghh. Don't know what to do honestly. Best would be to drop the media and userdata partition and create a single big one and do emulated storage, but.... who wants to script that in the recovery?

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] petewr:
Chris: What about putting the emulated storage on the external sdcard? Specifically a 32 or 64 Gig microSDCard. With some kinda auto-save feature so that on next startup all the stuff from your last session is still there?:eek:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
FWIW Succulent too is considering moving his CM ROM for the NT to using a single combined data+media partition which he envisions would get created by one-time execution of a standalone script file: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2014...sdcxxx-01jan2013/comment-page-1/#comment-3617.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
What would you like do?

Merge media and userdata partitions into one?

or just ext4 media and mount it into /data/media?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Merge.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Done!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2652244
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
It's not scripted. And if people do what you suggest, CM11 will not work anymore I think.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
We just need to build a new recovery with these merged partitions in mind and device tree changes of course.

Init and fstab and overlay.

You see any way around this?

Btw cm11 will work just users wont have any internal sdcard available until they flash the new rom with ramdisk support for emulated sd's.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
No, but I dont want to hear 100s of complains because people made mistakes when repartitioning the device. So we need to script that. I dont want people to need to adb into recovery, type lots of commands, erase the wrong partition etc.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
I think or am positive my guide is 100% newbie-proof.

As all are copy and paste commands there no way anything can go wrong imo.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
No. Everything can go wrong and people cant adb into the device. And I dont know if the other nooks (the 8GB/8GB and the smaller ones with 512M) have the same partition layout mmcblk0p10 and 11 for userdata and media.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Here is a test drive for a parted script

ui_print("Merging userdata with media partitions");

run_program("/sbin/parted", "rm", "11");

run_program("/sbin/parted", "resize", "10", "1611MB", "15.6GB");

For 8GB Nooks this has to be:

run_program("/sbin/parted", "resize", "10", "1611MB", "7734MB");

So as you can see is better with sgdisk but your call ;)

run_program("/sbin/parted", "name", "10", "userdata");

run_program("/sbin/tune2fs", "-j", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10");

run_program("/sbin/e2fsck", "-fDp", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10");

run_program("/sbin/tune2fs", "-O", "extents,uninit_bg,dir_index", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10");

run_program("/sbin/e2fsck", "-fDp", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10");

show_progress(0.500000, 40);

ui_print("");

ui_print("Partitions Merged successfully!");

I tried to upgrade to SNAPSHOT-M3 by using built-in updater (Refresh, then update), but the upgrade failed in the middle, now my NOOK cannot boot any more. What should I do? Please help.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
What happens when you power on the NT? If nothing at all then perhaps your NT battery is completely drained, in which case you should plug it into the Nook wall charger for 8-12 hours.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Penguin101:
It just keeps rebooting and rebooting, and finally ends up in the CMM recovery menu.

OK, I tried to manually upgrade it and got the following error message:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
It's likely because your NT has an old CWM version.

Flashing CM11 requires CWM version 6.0.4.5 or later, or TWRP version 2.6.3.0 or later -- see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49697302&postcount=2, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49703518&postcount=5, and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49024436&postcount=105.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Penguin101:
Indeed, my CWM is lower than 6.0.4.5 and I will upgrade my CWM and try again.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] deboyz1014:
So my NT running nightlies battery is completely drained by my kid. Of course the sucky Nook charger is long broken and I've been charging via regular usb cable, but this time is different. Everytime I plugin the charger, the nook N logo appear then disapear, off and on again. Trying to power with the power button + the N button does nothing, leaving it alone for 4 hrs and its still doing the same thing. It never does that before on cm 10 but not sure if its cm11 issue. Any advice other than shelling out 15 bux to buy a factory charger for it?

Update - I took out the SD card and plug it into the comp, briefly the comp recognized it but say something about bad device. Somehow that does the trick where the N logo does not show up anymore, from there I just plug it into the regular wall outlet charger and charge it to full. Seems to be back to normal now.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
Hi, I actually applied that same nightly today and saw the same error.

I ended up wiping

system

cache

data

and dalvik cache first,

then making sure I had the recovery-0.2img as the INTERNAL recovery

and the nightly went on without error

you have a bootable CWM SD card, theres an option to use fastboot

then you can "fastboot flash recovery recovery-0.2.img"

putting it on internal might not be necessary, and if the NOOK tablet boots to an SD card, its almost always a recoverable situation.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Penguin101:
Yes, I do have a bootable SD card, but the problem is my computer does not recognize my NT (driver installation failed), so how can I fastboot?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
Hi, I assume you dont care about a complete wipe since its useless at this point

if you re using twrp , in advanced wipe , its certainly worth trying wiping as much as is reasonable (not rom or factory! ) I usually only wipe the ones I mentioned, and trying it again

or , with the power off , hold the "N" nook button, press and hold the power button.

after you see the booting screen for a second or 2, let the power button go, while still holding the NOOK "N" button....

that "should" bring you into internal recovery

you may want to move this to the Q&A thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
If you have a bootable SDcard with CWM recovery on it, you do not need fastboot.

Use the SD-based recovery to flash emmc CWM zip file referenced in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50489512&postcount=288 (alternatively you can also create a flashable zip of any recovery of your choice by following the process described in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47680141&postcount=2), then remove the SDcard and boot onto the new emmc CWM to flash the CM update.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Penguin101:
It took me a while to remember what I did last time when I had the same situation. I had to modify the android_winusb.inf file in Android SDK so my computer can recognize my NT in fastboot mode. Then I downloaded the recovery-0.2.img file to my computer and flashed it to the internal as mikeataol suggested. After the flash, the nightfile was installed successfully.

Thank you guys for the help.
