Fix boot animation (ovation)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asakurato:
Yes you should have no problem running it.

Sent from my Nook HD+
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] PlanetJumble:
Hi, I read the whole thread but couldn't determine what the known issue (WiFi direct and hotspot) encompasses. Does that mean connecting to a hotspot (thus no internet on this build yet) our just acting as a hotspot (which isn't too useful for a WiFi only device anyway)? I am considering getting a HD because I need a device without camera for work and I am not happy with my KFSOWI.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] adwait.bhandari:
WiFi works in this build if thats what you wanted to know.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] victle:
Thanks, bokbokan. It works great with my sandisk 32GB card. Using ART, smoother than cm10.2 and I found the dolphins browser works great with KitKat in the HD+, fast and very smooth, much better than chrome and other browser
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leswgnr:
Thanks Bokbokan. Installed easily as documented and seems to be running fine. I am trying out ART and program start up seems slightly snappier, as expected, a program that stalls within it at the beginning of its execution as is it's doing some initial setup is also running slightly faster, the stalls are definitely shorter in duration. So far, no crashes as a result.

One thing, I do not see any cm_cache folder on my emmc, even when including hidden files. Did I miss something?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
Actually the mapping should be:

(EMMC partition 10)

BN stock /data and CM /int-data

|

|--- cm_cache

|

|--- media <---------- BN stock /sdcard and CM /emmc

|

|--- ...

So you find it under /int-data and not /emmc since the latter is just a symbolic link to /int-data/media.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leswgnr:
Got it. Thanks for the explanation. I apparently neglected to turn on root in ES file explorer on reinstallation of the app, which made it impossible to find.

Also, unlike what I've been reading in the kindle forums, I haven't found anything that doesn't seem to work in any of the apps I've tested today using ART. Interesting cost benefit trade off, tho'. As long as you can spare the additional storage, and aren't reinstalling ROMs continuously, any speed increase, even a modest one is welcome.

Has anyone seen any published performance data, or are we all just being subjective so far?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] treubber:
I'm getting a Status 7 error when trying to install from CWM. I'm running stock 2.2.0 from EMMC. Anyone else having this problem or do I need to edit the assert?

Edit: I've redownloaded the latest build and even tried an older build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
NEVER edit the assert! That is how you brick devices by flashing the wrong ROM to your device. Do you have the right ROM for your device?

Do you have the proper SD burned and did you boot once first before trying to flash.

Status 7 could also mean a bad download.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] riboswitch:
after I have installed it, I get an error: System UI has stopped.

And the background ist black and everything seems to be running wrong.

Any advice?

edit: Reflashed and wiped data, cache etc 5x times now. Finally I get a SETUP, but still my home button (n button) doesnt work and System UI message showing up.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] treubber:
Thanks Leapinlar, I've downloaded the ROM multiple times even from my PC and still get the same result. Double checked that everything is for ovation as well. Initially I had the wrong SD image, but I reimaged the card once I realized what I'd done and still getting the status 7 error.

Since this issue is unique to me, I'll try again from scratch.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] stegg:
I tried ART & this ROM for half a day, I wasn't able to get any antutu score coz it crashed every time.

Anyway the system was pretty smooth! Flipboard and Tumblr were perfectly flowing
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] grukko:
Gotta agree. ART makes apps run much smoother after the initial launch (which can take several seconds).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] neotarum:
Actually I'm having exactly the same problem. Tried a few times from scratch too with no luck. The only thing I'm not sure is what Leapinlar meant with rebooting the device before trying to flash...I'll have a go and get back.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You are supposed to burn the SD and boot it once with nothing on it so it can repartition the rest of the SD. Then flash the zips.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] neotarum:
Hi Leapinlar. Thanks for the tips. with the recovery am I supposed to be able to access the microsd card? If yes, that might me my problem as when I go to choose zip from /sdcard option, it says E: Can't mount /sdcard

This means it can't install the rom from emmc to sdcard, right?

(I have placed the zip file on emmc root actually - is that ok or does it neeed to be in folder?)

I still get error 7 even after rebooting and going in to cwm, then default nook rom and back to cwm.

Full error message: installing update... set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E: Error in /emmc/cm-11.....ovation.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You are not using an updated CWM. Are you using the CWM that is provided with this thread? I think it needs to be 6046 or newer. CWM older than that cannot process that command (set_metadata_recursive).

And no, you cannot access sdcard until the ROM is set up the first time. You must use emmc to store the zip and flash from there.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] neotarum:
It's the following one:

cwm-based recovery for hd+ sd cm11.0/sgt7 v6.0.4.5 - that's in the image file that's downloaded and written on the sdcard (Using WinImage)?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] treubber:
I guess the problem we're both having is that the recovery we're getting from the SD img file from the OP is v6.0.4.5 Does someone have another image file that I can test?

Thank you Leapinlar for your detailed help.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
6045 should be good enough. I was wrong about the number.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] neotarum:
The only other thing I can think is that I am using a kingston make sd, not sandisk. Surely it won't make that big of a difference? Its class 4 too, 8GB one.

Also, I had installed Carbon on emmc before and restored the stock rom from cwm backup, then rooted and allowed apk source install so I could install amazon app.

If I get lucky, I will update you.

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Brand can make a difference on whether it boots.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] YevOmega:
How do you convert to ART?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] adwait.bhandari:
Settings - about tablet - tap build number 7 times to enable developer options

Developer options - Scroll to the bottom - select runtime - use ART.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] YevOmega:
Thank you!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] neotarum:
I just ordered sandisk 16gb, class 4.

Thank you for your help again
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] eeter:
why not waiting for emmc option which should be faster?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] neotarum:
Because I didn't think it was coming. :) Anyhow, there will be plenty of uses for the card :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pcspecialistpdx:
Good luck with that, I've never had any success getting either of my HD+s to boot off of any of my SDs greater than 4GB.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
I don't know how nobody here seems to have noticed this, but there is a emmc build linked in the Nook HD, HD+ General forum. Seems to work pretty well, though I don't know it ART is worth giving up Xposed/Gravitybox, so I might just stick with CM 10.2 until it's a bit further along.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Nuor60:
I noticed the 12/30 build drained my battery in about 1 day while not in use. This is a completely new issue for me. I'm updating to 1/3 we'll see if that fixes the problem.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] wktra:
I noticed this too back in 12/28. Upgrading to 1/3 now. Let's see how this goes.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
No "battery drain while idle" issue for me on 12/30. Just updated to 01/03 and will keep an eye on it.

Have you looked at the battery usage profile to see which app/process might have been the culprit?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] gotbass:

I am not able to download the new build directly to my HD+: instead of the ROM zip file I'd get a download copy of some android app called "mobogenie.apk"!!!

Downloading to my PC/Laptop still works fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] neotarum:
Thank you. I was able to install Carbon Rom (EMMC) with 8GB Kingston card so thought might be ok. But like I said, it's not a waste as I have other devices that I could use the card on.

BTWm I just noticed that the menu-enabled cyanoboot source you have uploaded back in June of 2013 has grown quite stale and misses significan chunks of code like the actual menu support for hummingbird platform.

Can you please upload the current up-to date source version?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] nook-color:
Want to try this out. I've downloaded all the files and written SD image to card.

In STEP 2, What is meant by " Use Nook device to Download ROM into internal storage."

Should I just insert and mount it when the device is turned on... then reboot the device?

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
This means use stock to download the ROM zip directly to the internal SD card. An alternative to that since you have already downloaded the zips is to boot to stock and use your USB cable to copy the zips to your internal sdcard.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
This morning I opened up the cover of my HD+ (which had been running 01/09) and found the nook waking up running stock ROM!!!

Presumably the device while asleep had a "panic reboot to stock", a problem I had encountered a few times way back in 10.1 but not ever since until today, and I believe is the same problem referenced in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47679508&postcount=124.

OP updated 20140102
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leswgnr:
Same thing happened to me today. 1st time I've had any issues with this or the prior 10.2 SDCard ROM.

Additionally, the boot to stock stuck at 99% and wouldl not complete, nor can I boot into this ROM or recovery, although I do get the cyanoboot menu.

I am trying the SDCard in another nook and can successful boot into recovery and I'm backing it up now, so it looks like the SDCard is probably ok.

In trying to fix the bad nook, I am in the middle of doing he power on U key step to wipe data, but it also seem to get right to the end, then boots and redoes the same step. Will see if I can do the 8 interrupted boot trick to get a working ROM on there.

BokBokan, any possibility this is a TRIM related problem? I know I have the MAG V6 chip. Just too coincidental that it's occurring within a day or two of updating to your 1/9 ROM and not any major hiccups before then, although hardware can always go south.

Any thoughts appreciated.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
The "8 failed boot" should trigger a factory restore and cure your problem -- with the Nook in the power-off state, power it on, then as soon as the boot screen appears hold down the power button until it powers off (you do not need to hold the U button). Do this 8 times, and (assuming stock recovery has not been replaced with CWM recovery) the Nook should go into stock recovery to revert to factory-fresh state (your downloaded apps & contents would be lost).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leswgnr:
I did this and what I assume is the restore restarts automatically, Gets about 99% complete and reboots to do it all over again.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
You might have to resort to manually re-flashing stock ROM and stock recovery -- see #6 of leapinlar's post at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35811322&postcount=1.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leswgnr:
Not sure that would work if I can't even do a data format correctly. I have managed to get the SDcard booted just now. There is no cm_cache folder under int-data and I cannot create one (see pdate below) . Doesn't look good.

Managed to create a cm_cache folder and re-booting now. Any permissions I need to set for that?

Might try leapinlar's stock later. I want to check the emmc's partition structure first. Still also getting some anomalous responses from some of the apps (Evernote right now) saying there were some change to the memory card, which I assume is the emmc from their view. I also think I may have a backup that I took of the emmc before. Will look for that also.

Still if this is TRIM related, the restores shouldn't work either, which is indicated from the issues the Nook had in formatting data and not being able to restore correctly.

Wake or I/O problem

Every now in then the 4.4 OS crashes apps and restarts.

This is both:

1. Wifi wake - Internet stops working

2. I/O issue longer duration usage web and large memory apps

Eliminating the I/O would means not using a SD Card Hybrid setup or getting an App memory tester.

Note, I have had some issues with 10.1 - 10.2, but the crashing doesn't take out wifi like 4.4.

Using a Sandisk 32 GB HC card. SD is good. Formatted and tested using PC USB 3.0 apps.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leswgnr:
Finally got around to trying this, thanks for the suggestion. It get's about 50% through the re-flash, pauses for a minute, then reboots. The flash does not complete.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Eric Karz:
prblem with 3 apps

I am using the no EMMC install

I was wondering if there is a setting that might be interfering with

Starz / Encore and cheapcast

cheap cast will not show up on the local network

both Starz and encore get "unexpected error during playback"

chromecast and TWC-TV work fine.

I can use another device with all the same apps on it with 4.4x

TIA.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
I don't think this has anything to do with TRIM since it had been disabled in the kernel since 10.2. 1/9 may have just been a bad one.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
Can you try using old kernel (copy kernel from older ROM) since I'm been messing around/doing update with the kernel. This may be the one causing all of this. Will be back using the original kernel in the next uploads and see if these things go away.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] grimem:
Hi all, great ROM

When booting back into stock rom on emmc is there any way of accessing the data partition on the sd card we boot 4.4 from? It would be very useful indeed to me. . . .
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
If your stock is rooted, open a terminal emulator then type the following:

su<enter>

mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /data/local/tmp<enter>

you can now access the sdcard data at /data/local/tmp/media/0

to unmount:

umount /data/local/tmp<enter>

I tried your last 2 Hummingbird ROM updates and working noticeably faster/smoother than the ones prior versiont. Only annoying issue I'm having is the HD tablet isn't recognized from USB when I am booted under your ROM. I have to reboot up as stock Nook ROM to add files via USB connection. Hummingbird connection isn't recognized @ the tablet or PC when booted as your ( lastest 2 versions ) ROM.

I also have a HD+ running Ovation, which shows USB connection @ PC and Drop down menu whether it's booted as Stock NOOK ROM, or your ROM.

Are you planning on releasing a hybrid version of this ROM, or are you going to just keep it as SD-only?

Not asking for any timeline or anything, just curious if you have any plans.

Thanks for this awesome ROM!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
Jump started a quick initial dual boot sd/hybrid version a while back for HD (hummingbird) before going to work. Here's the link hybrid-hd-v0.zip.

Copy the two files uImage and ramdisk.alt to the boot partition. Make sure to make a backup of the original uImage file incase something goes wrong.

Boot to cyanoboot menu and select SD alternate boot.

My initial boot attempt resulted to GAPPS setupwizard force closing and stop short of finishing the boot process.

Solution:

Boot to CWM recovery

format /system

install latest CM11/sgt7 ROM

Boot to SD alternate

Boot to CWM recovery

install GAPPS

Boot to SD alternate

Afterward, HD can now dual boot to SD or hybrid (SD alternate) through the menu.

Will provide file for HD+ later when I got home.

Technical: /data will be located at /int-data/cm_data/0 so that existing hybrid will still work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
HD+ SD/hybrid dual boot boot files: hybrid-hdplus-v0.zip.

See preceeding post for instructions.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lorddunlow:
For clarification: we move the uImage and ramdisk.alt to an SD with the CM10.1 hybrid install on it, or to an SD with the CM11 SD only installed?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
cm11.0 coz they will be sharing the same system partition.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Nuor60:
So can I just erase the /system folder from the active CWM 11.0 SD and copy the /system folder from the latest 11.0 rom?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
Ideally by simply copying the two files to the boot partition and booting to SD alternative, your hybrid should already be initialized and setup.

SD:[BOOT 1][SYSTEM 2][DATA 3]

EMMC: [...][INT-DATA/CM_DATA/0 4]

SD BOOT: 1 -> 2 using 3 as /data

HYBRID BOOT: 1 -> 2 using 4 as /data

But if GAPPS (mine newest [02/01] from PA) is already installed, the first time the hybrid boot, setup wizard fc and would not continue booting. If your hybrid boot successfully then good for you since you can now dual boot. Only do the reformat of /system when GAPPS would not boot successfully the first time. The reason is to have a working cm11 first before installing GAPPS. Also once GAPPS is installed, first time setup would not run so you need to manually setup account for play, timezone etc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Nuor60:
BTW I'm doing this on an HD+ and have used your CWM 11 SD card image almost exclusively since you released it last Christmas. Thank you :)

Yes - as you describe SD alternative does not complete booting, it aborts with an error message. Most certainly for the reasons you describe.

My problem is I'm unclear as to how to format /system and install the ROM from within CWM as my only experience is installing from CWM recovery. I was curious if erasing and coping (from within CWM) would be equivalent.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
Yea it should be CWM recovery.

Upgrade from CM 10.1 to 11

Thanks so much for CM 11. I've been using CM 10.1 since I got an HD but it had become unstable so rather than trying to figure out what app might be the problem I decided the time was ripe to start over.

My first try following instructions in the original post I got into an endless loop of the error: Unfortunately setup has stopped working.

I then read through the rest of this thread and tried again, this time (1) running Win32DiskImage as Administrator and (2) and rebooting once before applying the ROM and GAPPS. Now it's all good.

There is one thing I'm missing from 10.1 besides Wireless Display and that's USB OTG. Any plans to add on-the-go support?

Thanks again.

desktop restore

So to anyone who has done a /system format for this. Did you do a titanium backup of Trebuchet then restore it afterwards to restore your desktop?

edit: I tried it and It seemed to restore my desktop. I've not had time to check everything out but at least it runs the basics.
