avrcp 1.3 meta data to car stereos via bluetooth HD+

Hi I was curious I have been testing various getting song meta data such as song title via Bluetooth streaming with verygreens CM10.2 booting from sdcard and have not had much luck with various current car stereo models. Is this fixed in KitKat? I believe this is part of the AVRCP 1.3 standard in Bluetooth. Looking forward to any replies for a fix. Thanks.

Also on a side note are there any apps or fixes that work with the NOOK HD+ to make USB play nice with MTP stereos? Also is there any fixes to switch to the classic mass storage standard and make it play nicer or more compatible. I know this standard is dead but I think even allot of current models this is what they support.

I am seeing the same crap on my phone with 4.0.4 android It would be nice to fix or have a working workaround to make the devices work.

Hi can someone please post upgrade instructions to update from verygreen CM10.2 booting from SD with a stock nook to update the SD boot to CM 11. Could you please Link the current packages for the recovery, the CM11 and any gapps(please link these too and if there is any special instructions like an order they must be installed or if they must be reinstalled)? I would like to do an inplace upgrade on the sd so I do not lose, reinstall, or have to restore all of my apps. If I have to that dev app cache wipe thing in CWM does that trash the apps or what does that do exactly. I would like to understand a little more what that does. Thanks. BT W I read all 93 pages and I did not see a full FAQ that had all the files linked to current by name where it was easy tell for sure I had the right files for that step and said it was for upgrading the boot from SDCARD. It would be nice to know what folder I should stick the files in and if they should go on the booted sdcard or the stock nook internel disk and if any folders will be need to be mounted in the steps. I am being detailed here but it would be nice to upgrade an OS for once and have stuff just work :) Thanks.

UPGRADE boot from SDCARD NOOK HD+ running verygreen CM10.2 to CM11
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Short answer, you can't. CM11 uses all different files so you must start over with a fresh SD. You can use Titanium Backup to back up your data and restore later (apps and app data only), but you must start the SD over. If you want to stay on SD I recommend you go to bokbokan's version since he keeps his up to date and verygreen has basically stopped supporting the SD version.

You have the sequence right, just the timing wrong. Keep it longer than 1 second and less than long enough to turn it off. And release the power key a couple of seconds before the n key.

Foldermount not working on Android/Obb subfolders

I'm trying to use Foldermount to move some of my game data folders over to the sdcard, but thus far Foldermount is unable to see the correct subfolders under Android/Obb. I looked through the FolderMount support for KitKat custom roms and this is their recommendation:

Can you please please help to see if it is possible to incorporate some of this inside?

Is it just me or the Wifi activity indicator seems to be gone in recent nightlies.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dcahoe:
Also, the wifi lockup after deep sleep seems to be back???

I was running the 2/1 and then 2/15 nightly for for the past month and had no wifi lockups. Since installing the 3/4 nightly I have had to reboot my HD+ on two different occaisions because the wifi would not turn back back on.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Whyzor:
I remember reading one of KitKat's features was to optimize how often the GPU was called to redraw the screen, even minor ones like network activity indicator causes too many unnecessary redraws. So maybe the latest nightly just conforms to this KitKat intended behavior.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] razholio:
do you mean wifi turns *off* and won't turn back on or that it won't automagically reconnect to a known WAP? If it's the latter, try turning wifi off and then on again.

yes indeed, this was a change for KeyLimePie. Google said that if you want to see flashy thingies on your network indicator, you can pull down the quick-launch menu and see it there.

Hi everyone. I have a Nook HD 7inches and I'm running the CM-11-20140305 nightly and I came from Carbon because of the same battery problems. I wiped everything a couple of times and I still have the same battery glitch. It drains quickly (which is not a big deal) but then suddenly it shows 1% or 2%. The weird thing is that when I plug it in the original charger, it shows 35-45% usually. And it stays like that even if I unplug it again. But if I leave it thinking it won't matter, it shuts down. I had the same problem with the Carbon ROM and it started about two weeks ago.

Is there anything I can do, or is it a bad battery? And if it went bad, can I change it or is it better to just leave it and have a charger nearby?

Thanks in advance...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] sleepingturtle:
I have an HD+ so I am not very familiar with the HD.

When you switched from carbon, did you do a clean install? If not, backup, wipe and reinstall.

Also try to fix permissions in recovery as well as wiping dalvik and cache.

Hope this helps.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Esotic:
I was using Carbon on my HD+ when I switched to CM11, and so far I have not seen any battery problems. I did go through and format all the various areas in addition to wiping cache and dalvik, and it actually seemed to make CM11 quite zippy. ymmv.

I think formatting options are on the Mounts and Storage menu in CWM: http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq276/Crystawth/Stratosphere/DM7.jpg

Cheers,

Dave\Esotic
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ahmadshawki:
I did wipe everything, but I never tried fixing permissions. I even charged the battery to full and wiped battery stats from the ROM Toolbox (though I know it doesn't make a difference). Still, I will start again with a clean install and then report back.

If nothing changes, then this means it is a bad battery, right?

Seems like the 3/7 nightly is only coming in at 30Mb not 197Mb
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] NishantM:
Yup. I have a Nexus 4 and it longer shows up on notification bar after KitKat update.

It doesn't show up on quick launch menu too.

Snapshot M4 is posted.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] cabbieBot:
Did a full wipe and install, because the slowness and lag from the nightlies was making it unusable. Flashed the snapshot and rebooted just fine, everything was snappy. Rebooted back into recovery and flashed the paranoid android Google Stock Package and things were back to a crawl. Touch response takes up to 5 seconds to register, everything sluggish, its turrbl. I am probably going to re-wipe everything and try again with a different gapps package since thats what seemed to stink everything up. Anyone else had that experience?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] eawtan:
I'm running the nightly 03/07 with minimal gapps 2/27 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012857) and ART , everything is snappy..

thanks, will try that package with the snapshot and if that doesn't work I'll go grab that nightly you are using and give it a try. :good:

btw does anyone know why the boot animation is so slow and choppy? Or am I on crazy pills? The arrow that rotates around cyd is janky.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
Installed this snapshot over the previous nightly from 5th March. No wipe.

I have ART enabled and everything was running OK.

Now wi-fi won't connect. I can turn it on but it can't find anything. Also the message "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped" keeps popping up.

Any ideas? Should I have done a full wipe as I thought that wasn't required between builds?

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] eawtan:
I saw the same issue (nightly 3/7 -> M4) and reverted back to nightly 3/7 backup. Didn't try a full wipe though ....

3/7 works perfectly for me ....
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Jack45:
No WiFi and same message. The snapshot's broken. Needed to restore a backup, since flashing a previous build over the snapshot didn't help. Beware.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
The M4 build is ****ed, but the 3/8 nightly is just fine. The file sizes are different, too. I'm not sure what got put into the M4 (it's bigger) but obviously it shouldn't have. Flashing the 3/8 nightly over the 3/8 M4 solved my problems, I did not have any backup.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
Same here - I flashed the 7th March build over the the top of M4 as I did not have backup. Everything seems OK now.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
i too have the cm-11-20140308-NIGHTLY-hummingbird.zip & it works perfectly fine.no complaints at all. :)

by the way does anyone knows what is the changes in all the newer builds ? they release new one like every other day. personally i won't bother trying any newer build if it aint broken don't fix it but it's worth knowing what's new in them. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
You should not need to do a wipe.

I updated my HD+ (still on Dalvik, not ART) from 01/18 to the M4, so far so good -- no crash, connectivity or laggy problem.

I too am on 03/08 but it is so slow. I also upgraded to the latest pa-gapps. May be that's the source? I am going back to February ga-apps and will report any changes here.

Another thing I wanted to ask, nandroid backup used to take 5 to 10 minutes on cm10.2. Cm11 now takes close to two hours. I have tried backing up to both emmc and sdcard but there was no significant difference in the time taken. Is this normal?

Update: its the ROM not the gapps. I went back to older version of gapps. On reboot, play store promptly updated all the Google apps. The tablet still is very sluggish and apps take a long time to respond. Going back to 02/17.

snapshot difficulties

There are problems 'updating' from a march nightly to the latest snapshot. Basically, you have to clear data. For details see:

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cm-11-m4-post-release-items

It is actually a downgrade and causes problems. You should either be on a nightly upgrade path or a snapshot/milestone upgrade path.

Hope this helps.

Google Voice & 2014-03-08 M4 snapshot

I use GV and GrooveIP (paid app that works w/ GV), and don't have any issues with it on the 3/7 Nightly.

I tried the M4 snapshot, and it was constantly popping up with "android.process.xxxx" while I was out and about, and I quickly flashed back to 3/7 via recovery reboot. You guys did a heckuva job planning that. Brought me back to operational status in minutes.

FYI, I'm using Dalvik runtime and standard gapps.

Interesting note for my HD+: After the reflash, I keep getting different battery data for each reboot and if I am charging or not charging the device. I attempted to do a battery drain, and it sat at 1% and shut off twice. On the 3rd power up, it was at 33% for 2 min of use, then went to and stayed at 1% for about 1hr of YouTube videos at 50% brightness before completely shutting down. It's charging now, and will see how the battery information performs. Has anyone else noticed this kind of battery behavior? If so, how to rectify this?

Thank you.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] adwait.bhandari:
I have the weird battery behavior too. One time it says 1% remaining, I immediately connect the charger and suddenly its 99% remaining.

On a side note, just did a clean install of M4. Was browsing chrome when suddenly the screen went dark and rebooted.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Boy trying that M4 was a big mistake. Here's hoping re-flashing a March nightly will get things back to operational.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

I have to guess you are not using ART runtime. Seems GV is not compatible with ART on the HD+n CM11, along with Google Voice Search and some other gapps stuff. I contend this is a CM11 bug but I'm too lazy to open a Jira account and report it. A friend's Nexus 4 with ART and ordinary KitKat from Google works just fine with GV and voice search.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Odenknight:
I made the same mistake (in my ignorance) of flashing the M4 build over my nightly build without reading what the difference was (whether the information was available or not at the time is a different matter entirely). Good rule of thumb is to ALWAYS make a backup before trying anything new. I still applaud the way that android/CM is designed for this NOOK, as I simply flashed a working build from recovery, and was operational within minutes.

You are correct in stating that I am not using ART runtime. Call me a late adopter :)

Bluetooth Issue Resolved by M4 Snapshot

As a PSA, I was running an older CM11 and my Bluetooth keyboard would not connect. I used the system updater to apply the new cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-ovation.zip and the keyboard is now connecting and working as expected.

My usage on the Nook HD+ these days is light, but so far I have not noticed anything being broken.

Cheers,

Dave\Esotic
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Well, with the M4 (coming from about March 3 nightly) my HD+ would not "see" any wireless networks and toggling wifi on or off caused an immediate reboot. Also letting it run for more than a few minutes caused a spontaneous reboot. Basically something was badly broken and it was completely unstable.

I don't care to venture why, but I put the March 10 nightly on and all is well again. FWIW running the previous nightly my HD+ was stable and perfectly functional without a single hiccup during an entire long trip with lots of heavy usage. Really impressive. Also we watched a 2+ hr HD movie with internal speaker and it only consumed about 20% battery... that's remarkable IMHO, but kind of annoying that there is no improvement to battery life when doing something pedestrian like reading ebooks with no wifi on. Basically my HD+ burns 10% per hour no matter what it's doing. If you're watching movies that's great. If you're reading books that's over double the drain I would expect.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pgrunwald:
I'm seeing similar behavior with 3/8 nightly. I have the game HD Eufloria and it will eat 40% of the battery in 1 hour. This was with some bluetooth headphones.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
I would blame the 40% battery drain in an hour on the bluetooth. We watched a movie with wifi on (not streaming) and bluetooth off.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pgrunwald:
Actually, its just as bad on speaker as well
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
do you guys install latest nightly's all the time or do you guys go by the saying ((if it aint broken why fix it)) ? i mean there is a new nightly almost every other day & i'm wondering if i should update my nook hd tablet every other day or just stick with current one for evaaaaaa !!??!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dcahoe:
OK, I upgraded to the 3/7 nightly and after 3+ days I have had no more wifi lockups after sleep. Perhaps it was something in the 3/4 nightly?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
I am of the "if ain't broke" opinion.

However, there's lots broke in the current nightly. So for that reason I read the changelog and decide whether it is valuable to put on a new nightly. Just upgrading using the CM Updater is very easy, but it is a bit of a pain for me because I have to copy keylayout files and reboot again every time. So I truly avoid upgrading until I find a real reason to do so.

Right now CM11 for Ovation is stable enough to be a daily driver for many (most?), but still has some issues that will require fixes before I'd call it fully stable. Also, each new nightly has the potential of regression bugs so you have to count the costs.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
thanks for the reply,i will keep an eye on this thread in search for the fully stable release as for now i will stick with what i have installed as it appears to be working fine.

cm-11-20140308-NIGHTLY-hummingbird is on my nook hd
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
It may be quite a while before anything in this thread mentions a "stable" release. I would suggest considering picking a stable-looking or popular nightly to switch to every few weeks until "stable" or "RC" builds start to come up. And get used to reading the cmx change log, that way you can see if your pet issue gets resolved. For me it's the stuff that's not fully ART-compatible, battery life improvements, and overclocking kernel. I figure an *official* CM won't ever get an OC kernel but someone might build one that will work.

Hey funny thing, I charged up and booted my old Nook Color with the CM7 stable on it and was again just highly surprised... it retained 99% battery during about 6 days idle, and the thing just works great, snappy as ever. Can't even remember why I upgraded! oh yeah, bigger screen, no crack in the bezel, etc.

Also the nook is fussy with which type of SD card it will boot from. I tried a cheap 2gb card without success. However when I used a SanDisk 32gb class 10 card it worked great! Consensus is that class 4 are the best.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] eawtan:
I had a samsung microsd card (16GB) class 6 that was bootable , I prev tried the CM10.2 SD install on it and had no issues.

When I tried to reuse the card for CM11, it just refuses to boot anymore . Sandisk Class 4 are still the most reliable (for booting).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] gandalf_grey91:
Just wanted to say a massive thanks to verygreen (and the guys) for the CM11 development and the Stock 2.2.0 SD bootable.

I reworked our Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with CM11 and was very impressed with the look and feel so I finally decided to take the plunge and flash CM11 to eMMC and Stock 2.2.0 to SD card on the beloved Nook HD+.

Really pleased with the results, am running ART and it does improve performance even at this early stage. The 3/11 nightly does suffer slightly higher battery drain but its a nightly and I am sure things will get better as time goes on. I am really missing the Trebuchet settings that seem to be bugged (and thus removed) across all CM11 builds (Dock settings etc.), so have installed a different launcher for the moment. Have run into, literally, no issues running various apps under ART and I use a large list of them.

Its great work, Thanks again.

Everything from Snapshot-M4 on is just a mess

Hi,

I used the CM11 nightlys now for about a month.

But every nightly since the snapshot makes now problems. And after 3 fullwipes to get the past nightlys to work I switched back to the 0307 nightly, the best working so far.

Am I the only one having this problem?

The Devs do a great job. Thx.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] procter:
Clean installed M4 snapshot last weekend, it's been good except a few minor bugs/problems"

1. The defautlt google search bar from the CM default launcher frequently goes blank. Tapping on it does not bring me the google search page. I can restore it by applying the "theme", but it would be blank later on. I disabled it in the setting

2. The wifi still would be turned off occasionally after screen goes dark for a longer time. Not happening every time and I did not catch the pattern.

3. Screen flickering once or twice when using it with Charger connected

4. I used it with a magnetic auto shut-off/turn on case, and it did not work every time, so I had to re-close the cover and re open it.

A side note: Has anyone had luck running xbmc app on CM11? I tried "frodo" mod and other versions, they all gave me error "xbmc has stopped". My intention is to have it running with hardware decoding either by its built-in media player or being able to call external player such as MX player to do it.

Thanks for the great effort.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] excalibar001:
No, you are not alone. The latest nightlies have some unresolved problems. I also tried 03/08 but have to go back to my stable backup. I am going to wait a week or two and will try again.

Regarding xbmc, only latest nightlies work on cm11 with ART enabled, and that too without hardware acceleration. However you would hardly notice if you enable multithreading in software render mode.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
It's not the only way, but the most user-friendly, I suppose.

If you are a bit more "handy", you can always extract the older recovery image from the older cwm and write it in place using dd without needing the sdcard, but that's somewhat more involved.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] excalibar001:
Verygreen, can you please release a sdcard based version of cwm that can access the sdcard itself.

I prefer to keep the original nook recovery and use the sdcard-based recovery to update ROMs. Thanks.

Great work on getting CM11 onto our nooks!

Quick question, if trim is enabled in this version of CM11, would I need to flash a trim-enabled kernel as well? From my searches, there is a trim kernel to flash for CM10.2; does this mean I would need to flash a specific trim enabled kernel for CM11? If so, where would I be able to find this kernel?
