yeah it's already set this way to a folder on the micro sd.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
But is it the folder where you keep your backups?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
sorry i don't really know what you mean but anyway this is the message i get when i start titanium backup app.

(( your SU binary (version ''16 com.android.settings'') is functional but might not work reliably on some android 4.3+ ROMs. if you encounter any issues in TB,please try SuperSU instead.))

Guys, when I flashed 03/07 build with Banks minimal Gapps you also got TWRP 2.7 installed. Should I flash CWM again, the one recommended on the op?

Sent from Xanadu using my LG G2
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Yes, Succulent includes TWRP in his ROMs. You can flash CWM again or just leave TWRP.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rholm:
So, I'm thinking of moving up to 11 from 10.2. Is succulent's rom still the preferred one?

Cheers,

Rich
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
I would put it like this: A lot of people seem to have stated that official CM11 release from 3/27 is stable. I have been using that one for the last few days and I haven't had any issues (I had a lot problems with previous official builds - something must have been fixed).

Before that, I used Succulent's 3/7 build which is rock-solid.

So I is up to you to try the 3/27 and stay with official builds (with more frequent updates) or go with the very stable 3/7 from Succulent.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] The Mentalist:
How long should I wait before I know I'm stuck? It's been on the cyanogenmod boot screen for a couple minutes.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
It should have booted by now.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
If you installed CM 11 it should show up. It is the fourth from the bottom of the developer options.

EDIT: Perfect.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rholm:
Okay, one more question. The OP seems to say a dirty flash is okay. Is that what people are doing?

Cheers,

Rich
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
I never dirty flash because if I encounter any problems after installing the ROM, I can't distinguish between issues within the ROM or because of dirty flashing.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] henry8668:
dirty flash means don't factory reset/wipe data so apps are kept, right? So for clean install, we'd always need Titanium backup to restore apps?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Exactly
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] VonSohn:
To install official nightlies, should I flash CWM over TWRP first, or that's not necessary?

Sent from Xanadu using my LG G2
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
It wouldn't be necessary, but I don't know if CM Updater works with TWRP.

Go with CWM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] VonSohn:
Great, I'll do that. I found that while using 03/07 I couldn't get my pc to recognize the tablet, so I'll see how it goes with 03/27, as official nightlies didn't use to give me that problem.

Sent from Xanadu using my LG G2
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jdjohn:
That's what dirty flash means, but it leaves everything...not just apps. It leaves systems files and other things that might cause issues between different ROMs if not cleared out. You can backup/restore apps with TB, My Backup, or just redownload from Google Play Store.

The difficulty is restoring the app data, not the app itself. There is normally an option to backup the apk, data, or both. The apk's usually backup/restore fine, but the app data (personal settings, progress in games, etc.) is where it can be a crap shoot.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rholm:
You are probably right. I'll probably do a wipe. I'm using 10.2 now and it just gets laggy after a few days. Doing a hot boot generally helps, if not I do a full reboot.

Has everyone had good luck with 11? 20140327 is what I'll use first. My only misgivings are the difficulty is going back if I have issues. I went to 10.2 fairly early and was generally happy.

Cheers,

Rich
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Just make a Nandroid Backup of your stable set up. That way you can revert back fairly quick.

3/27 is awesome. Just avoid creating the Wallpaper bug which caused a lot of reboots and flickering for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rholm:
Thanks! And, how do I avoid the "Wallpaper bug"? I use Nova Launcher.

Cheers,

Rich
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
I want you to try to re-create this bug I found:

While using Nova Launcher, go to set a wallpaper and choose one from your gallery. Then you get the screen that allows you to crop your image. There, you choose the "Portrait - Tool" and crop your image and set the wallpaper. Now try switching between apps (e.g. Settings and homescreen) with the recent apps panel.

You will get a screen flicker. Right?

If you choose the "Full - Tool" to crop your wallpaper everything's fine. No flicker.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rholm:
I'll try it... wiping and installing now.

Cheers,

Rich
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Alright, I "hope" it will happen to you, too. It would prove that it isn't just device-specific. Just report back, please.

Pay attention to the fact that you won't have any screen flicker when installing Nova Launcher initially (because the wallpaper is set with the "Full - Tool" by default).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JimJ2Mz:
Just a question.

Will using the CrossBreeder script on the HD+ benefit the device?

Or will the script harm the device?

-----

Okay so I flashed CrossBreeder and all I can say is.

I either messed up or it just doesn't work with the HD+. Performance is bad I had to uninstall.

So flash at your own risk if you choose to.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rholm:
I'm mostly back. CM 11 is very nice, wow! Where is expanded desktop and the pie controls?

No flickering yet. I selected my background image with QuickView. What should I use to recreate your issue?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Rich
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] VonSohn:
That bug occurred to me on several builds, and the same happened to my sister's HD+, both running CM11. The solution you mentioned does work, so thank you for that :)

Sent from Xanadu using my LG G2
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Go to your Nova homescreen, press on the menu icon in the top right corner, select Wallpaper and then Gallery. Choose any image. Now you should have the option of cropping your image. Select the icon which lets you choose between "Full, Portrait, Landscape and Square". Choose Portrait and crop your image. You will get back to your homescreen. Now try multitask via the recent apps panel. You will get the flicker.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
You're welcome. It took me some time to find it out. I noticed that it didn't occur when Nova Launcher was installed initially but after setting it up, I got the flicker. So it had to be a Launcher problem. I wiped Nova data and set it up step by step and checked if I got flicker. But it didn't happen. Then I remembered my final step which was setting my wallpaper.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] The Mentalist:
It happened with the one from 3/29. I got 3/28 and it worked fine. Strange 3/29 did that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rholm:
What do I use to select to recreate the bug?

Cheers,

Rich

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Sorry, didn't see the next message. I did not get flicker with 03/27.

Cheers,

Rich
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Did you set the Nova Wallpaper just as I described? I am running that build and I get flicker when multitasking with the recent apps panel.

I noticed that it also occurs with the Google Experience Launcher (if you choose a custom Wallpaper). If you use one of the stock GEL Wallpaper it is fine, but if you choose one from your Gallery, the flickering starts.

I don't know if someone like [MENTION=3654172]verygreen[/MENTION] could fix something like this. If any logs would help, just tell me.

7Mar failed to install for me

I tried to install this from TWRP after a full wipe. It failed in TWRP. First time I've seen that. I've been able to install CM 11 nightlies okay before. Any guesses what I'm doing wrong?

Error says "symlink -some symlinks failed"

"Error executing updater binary in zip"

Do I have to install from the emmc (not the ext SD card?)

BTW, per the recommendations here, I'm running CM 10.2.1 w/ the 8x8 fuzz kernel. I'm not sure I notice a night and day difference with the kernel, but a very lag free system.

'
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
It might be your TWRP version if you're using 10.2.1 and trying to install 11. I had that problem recently, though, and all I did was reboot, enter recovery manually (power+home @ boot) and attempt to flash the rom again. It worked on the second attempt.

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

I should also note that I formatted cache+dalvik+system in advanced wipe before I rebooted back into recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] PMikeP:
Tnx. I did a cold boot into recovery and also tried installing from emmc. No joy. Same error message.

Am running TWRP 2.6.3.0. I've installed CM 11 from that before without problems. So it appears the problem is with Succulent's particular zip?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] LucaToo:
Nightly 30/03 no longer recognises external SD card.

Anyone else having this problem..?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rhyang:
I've been running the 3/25 nightly and all is well. WiFi / speedtest.net is good, 35 Mbps down, 11 up : pretty much what I was getting with CM 10.2. Bluetooth audio also working well.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] excalibar001:
I am on 30/03 and I have no problems at all. I can access the external sdcard and the lag introduced in mid-march has also been fixed. Pretty happy with this built. Try another micro sd and see if it solves the problem.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
I don't know which TWRP you installed? The one on Succulent's rom is not the same and the script to check files before install are different.

You might try to install TWRP with the on here or an install using ADB of the "recovery.img". I used Flashify http://www.theninjaproxy.com/browse.php?u=uJKFsvepL9GQCdxY8cLZLjS2Ew==&b=29&f=norefer. When you do it this way, be VERY careful that you are installing the correct .img file.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
BTW, I tried last night's 0331 nightly over my 0328 and the device won't operate. Constant errors on boot, can't get them to stop so it will finish booting. I reverted to the 0328. Unknown what the cause of the problems are but at the moment I'm sticking to the stable 0328.

FYI
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] procter:
This problem has been haunting me for a long time. I have a nook HD+ with CM11 M4(android 4.4 and ART enabled), installed xbmc 13 (multiple versions tried, nightly, beta 1, 2 and 3). Program starts fine, browsing and playing is fine, but whenever I click "stop" button during a streaming, such as in icefilms or 1channel addon, the app will force close, showing "xbmc has stopped".

I tried to search online but did not see any reports about it. Don't know if it's android version problem or the specific CM ROM problem. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
Or (better yet) just download Succulent's flashable zip for his TWRP which is linked at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/12/20/cm11-0-kitkat-android-4-4-2-for-nook-hd-xx-20dec2013/ and flash it using your current recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
I was thinking to avoid the script included in that flashable install. The script does the rom checking before flash and that might be the cause of the problem encountered.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
My thinking was Succulent's TWRP compilation should work with his CM ROM build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] PMikeP:
Why a custom TWRP?

Hmmm . . . this might solve my problem installing Succulent's ROM. But I'm reluctant to install a "custom" TWRP. I mean, isn't that an oxymoron? Isn't TWRP supposed to be agnostic? I'm currently running leapinlar's TWRP.and it's been working fine for me, allowing me to install CM 10.2 and CM 11. I presume leapinar's TWRP would allow me to reinstall the old Nook ROM if needs be.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I have noticed the same thing. I've been running XBMC 13 for quite a while and hitting stop kills the whole program. I think I started using version 13 after I started CM11, so don't know if it works better on cm10 or not. Its not worth the effort for me to test, I just live with it.

Sorry I wasn't much help, but you're not alone, that's how it works on my system too.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] LucaToo:
30/03 fried my SD Card.

Looks like 30/03 has somehow fried my SD Card.

It has also screwed up a lot of settings. Wifi is now off and rotation has gone to default settings. Cannot get power menu to display Expanded Desktop settings at all - even after revrting back to 18/03 that I had been previously using.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
If you look at the META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script you'll see the conditions to flash the .zip.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] PMikeP:
Thanks. But Yikes!

I googled for those terms and found an xda forum about hacking the updater script. Yikes again. I'm already pushing my comfort zone by installing custom ROM's. I'm afraid I'll brick my HD+ with a noob error if I make a mistake with the updater script.

Besides, I don't understand why I should have to hack at an updater file to install a custom ROM, especially since the CM ROM's install just fine without any help from me.

I suppose Succulent has his reasons, but I'll just have to be content until he makes it so his ROM installs as easily as others.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] schismata:
Try turning off the libstagefright under hardware acceleration
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
I suppose I should have mentioned that the TWRP version I use came from Succulent from the thread over in the HD/HD+ general forum. It installs his builds and Verygreen's both just fine, excepting that sometimes it fails and I have to wipe /system and reboot back into recovery as I stated. That error only happens to me only when I'm switching between using Succulent's builds and the official builds. I'm curious where you got your TWRP from if that's not the one you're using, because as far as I know VG hasn't posted a 2.6.3.0 TWRP zip yet, only a CWM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Is there a stable nightly post 0328 that will run with ART? I can't get the 0331 to boot without constant errors, but the 0328 is quite laggy and battery life is poor. I think I may go back to the 0325.

Also, anyone know how we are progressing towards a stable CM11 build?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] procter:
Would that leave me on no Hadware Acceleration? I need the HA for streaming HD stuff.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] nimaim:
Verygreen, your new release is so stable that it may be time to buy my folks another HD+. I thought about an iPad but the air starts at 500 which is absolutely ridiculous for what u get (or lack thereof). While I agree an iPad just works, I'm not dropping that kind of cash on it when tablets like this have the latest kitkat very stable along with so many other great features. So yes thank u for ur work on this VG and saving us all lots of $.

EDIT: Just noticed the SD card problem too, minus that though, everything is solid.

Thanks for all your hard work to keep our Nooks on the latest software versions verygreen.

One request when you get the chance. I use Cisco Anyconnect to get behind my companies firewall. It has never worked on any version of CM on my HD+ always throwing a "VPN server could not parse request" error when trying to connect. However, on succulents CM11 build it works flawlessly. Wondering of there is an easy way to find what is different and apply those changes to your build. The main difference I see between the 2 builds is that you are on kernel 3.0.31 while succulent uses 3.0.101.

Any logs or anything I could provide I'd be happy to do.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
A rather simple question: Now that (I think) all or most of the issues of running from sd card has been resolved (according to the "stock from SD" thread) do you think it would be faster to boot/run the rom from a U1 card?

I have some lying around and I'm thinking that -maybe- it would make more sense to install the rom there instead of the eMMC for the sake of pure speed -I mean- not for any other reason. Has anyone made any -in depth- tests of our Nook's eMMC in comparison to an ultra fast SD?

The great thing about an external mode of storage, apart from being swapable is that it is upgradable, not only storage wise but also -especially- speed wise. Are we there yet (where an SD beats the eMMC) or not? I would had done most of those tests myself but my Nook is on the mail, so if anybody else has done those so much for the best...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
I know it is counterintuitive but faster is not better for running a ROM on SD. That is because the ROM needs a fast small file I/O capability to operate smoothly. And the actual best class for that are the class 4 cards, not the class 10 or U1 cards. There is an old thread in the Nook Color forum that explains this. It benchmarks many brands and classes and the Sandisk class 4 comes out best. I will see if I can find the link.

Look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005633
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
My u1 is quite faster on small/random read/writes as well according to crystal disk mark. Maybe it used to be the case that class 4 are better for this sort of stuff but lately it's changing. Anyhow my question is more about emmc vs SD rather the difference between classes...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
There is also the issue of the hardware on the HD+. Verygreen discovered some time back that the HD+ does a poor job of I/O on the SD. I don't know if he has resolved that with the kernel updates, but you might want to consider that too. I will look for that thread too.

EDIT: See here. This thread is more about the kernel, but verygreen in other threads talked about the hardware issues.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040773

Maybe he has some recent experience to share on this.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
re Sandisk U1 cards, it's a hit and miss.

While they are working, everything is fine, but at least the ones I have (or perhaps due to the glitches in my nooks) from time to time the cards experience hiccups, and where in the past you'll get IO errors or crashes, current kernel is recovering from this, but it's still visible when this happens due to 1-2 seconds of no response from Nook while the card recovers (also tons of chatter in dmesg).

I have never seen this happening with Sandisk class4 cards. I cannot say my U1 cards are much faster, but I did not look too much into it as periodic hiccups totally destroy any advantage there might have been.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Thanks that's pretty much what I was looking for. Even though the major bug (reboot as I recall) has been resolved with U1 cards there are still many more bugs deeming eMMC the best of all words, with class 4 as a close 2nd. Yeah that's almost exactly how the situation was a couple of months ago... Hoping U1 issues will be resolved in the long term but for the time being eMMC (especially now that TRIM is fixed) is probably the best place to flash your rom, that's my conclusion from extensive reading anyway...

Hmmm . . . I thought I got my TWRP from leapinlar's page HD/HDplus Stock Root/other Mods - via CWM flashable zips.

But now I don't see it there. Mine is called "flash_recovery_ovation_TWRP_2.6.3.0_internal.zip." A Google search says it came from one of Succulent's hosts.. Mine is dated 12.24.13. (I think.) The last 4 digits of the MD5 hash are e25e.

Maybe I don't have his latest and greatest? Edit: I see that he has 2.6.3.0a out now. Well, CM 10.2 and CM 11 have been installing just fine with the old. But I'll install the new for grins. Hopefully it won't break anything.
