enabling ART vs latest CM11 nightlies

Update:

This is once again my update following my earlier posts where I had mentioned about 2 steps I carried out to enable ART and was not sure whether it was the build or the GAPPS package that was the culprit.

After playing around with the different packages, erasing and flashing a few several times I can now confirm the several versions of the PA GAPPS packages has nothing to do with the error but the error was with the latest nightlies. I have no issue running build dated 30th March 2014 but anything after this build is throwing runtime error on boot and you may never go into the home screen.

Even if I do a new update from within the settings after it flashes the new rom, it optimizes the apps on boot and once this is done the system will crash. This I tried with all the new builds after 30th March and are throwing the same errors.

Hope this will be helpful for any new flashers to consider. There are no issues if you are willing to live without enabling ART and stay with Dalvik runtime.

Therefore I have decided I will not do any more flashing while ART is enabled and I am happy with the 30th March build and will wait to flash until a stable release happens.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Is this board not very active and maybe very few users with this device

I am starting to wonder this forum thread here is not very active as I would've expected. Just sending chills along my spine, had I screwed my device.

Advice for noobs like me is to flash only if you are very confident of doing this with this device otherwise you must stay away as there is not that much very active support.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
This is just an installation thread. If you want activity about the ROM performance, go to the CM11 thread in the dev forum.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Trekker56:
Sany I was getting the same errors with the snapshot build as well. I followed your procedure about formatting the cache and installing minimal gapps and it worked.

I too am going to stick with this version for now.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Good to know!

Great to know, the information I shared was useful to someone.

So basically, hope people will not be led to believe that they will not come across ART issue on the nightlies and they must anticipate the same. The different builds are playing an integral part with the ART/Dalvik errors so all must watch out.

can anyone help, ive downloaded the files, altho maybe the wrong ones as its not clear what exactly i need

anyway, ive got into recovery, flashed cwm recovery ovation 6 then gone to flash UNOFFICIAL OVATION but it just saus error in (then file name)

Status 7, inistallation aborted

why is the unofficial ovation file only 7mb ? isnt this meant to be the android OS ? am i missing something ?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
It should be ~190MB+.

You can download official CM11 nightlies build from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51043572&postcount=1.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
Thanks, I will Re download, I feel I might be a bit stuffed now though as a reset isn't working and I can't get out if recovery. I've done a wipe so I have no files on my device and by the sounds of it they cannot be installed direct from the sd card unless anything has changed
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
Yes, you can flash CWM, ROM and Gapps from SD card -- see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2679899.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] cenbit:
Can you please share your experience of 10.2 nightly? Is it much more stable than the Verygreen one? Thanks

Which version of CWM and CM11 ROM build are you using?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
trying to install cwm recovery ovation 6, cm-11-20140118-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard then gapps as mentioned in the original post

oh, and currently its booting into emmc recover 6.0.4.6 if that makes a difference
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
Are you trying to install and run CM11 internally on emmc, or on external SD card?

If the former (i.e., on emmc) then you need the cm-11-20140118-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip (or any of the more recent nightlies builds from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
mate, i havnt got a clue, i just followed the steps and it didnt work

no idea what i need now, im in the EMMC booter thingy, just need to know what zips to download to install kitkat, i guess CM11, i tried a nightly one tho and it didnt work either, error 7...

[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
​

cheers mate, but im really clueless, ive tried everything, am i even in the right thing having the EMMC 6 recovery up, or do i need something else?

if I am in the right thing I just need the right ROM zip, but cant find one right now that doesnt give me that error 7 message
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jdjohn:
If you're not booting into CWM recovery, it sounds like your microSD card is not setup correctly. You have to write (not just copy) the CWM ovation file to the card, and it needs to be a class 4 card. Those two things are key.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
i have written it, as said it goes into the EMMC recovery, or is this different to CWM recovery? now im really confused..
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jdjohn:
When you go into CWM recovery, you should see the little top hat on the orange ring. Do you see that?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
yep i got that...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jdjohn:
And I assume you have then done your factory reset data wipe, and then 'install zip from external sd card'?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
yep.... done that

then installed CWM OK, install ROM, error 7...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jdjohn:
So zip install of CWM worked, but then followed by trying zip install of ROM, and error? That sounds like a bad download of the ROM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
well ive tried the unofficial one and a nightly one, neither worked, both error 7, so its not the download, but something else...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jdjohn:
Maybe try this one which installs and runs from the SD card, not from the EMMC. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2583952
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
the one i originally tried that gave me error 7 was that one, unofficial-sd card, no good, no idea what to do..
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jdjohn:
If you pull the SD card out and boot, does it go to stock ROM, bootloop, or what?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
boot loops for a while but eventually goes into the EMMC recovery

Jeremy, any chance you could reupload ? I think this is what I need but no longer seems to be there...

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
cheers mate, i think ive worked out the problem, when im clicking install from SD card its going from the internal one not the SD card thats installed

ive downloaded your file but i cant see it in CWM as it wont let me find it, tried mounting SD card but no help either, dont suppose theres something im missing? think i have the files, just need to know how to put them on!!!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jdjohn:
Will CWM not let you select 'external SD card' for 'install zip'?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
nope, no option, if i click mounts and storage and mount ext sd it doesnt do anything

its clearly detecting my SD card though as it goes straight into CWM, is there a newer version than 6.0.4.6, although i dont see what difference it will make as everyone else in this thread has managed it with this version...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jdjohn:
I switched to TWRP myself, so not sure about current CWM version. Going from memory, though, I *think* in CWM you select 'install' first, then maybe the choices for zip internal (or emmc), external, sideload, etc. You shouldn't have to mount first. And just to be clear, and I apologize if you already know this, but you use the volume button to scroll up and down, and the 'n' button to select; the power button takes you backwards. I kept trying to use the power button to select instead of the 'n' button, which of course got me nowhere. I personally like TWRP better.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
Your recollection is correct (install zip -> select external/internal/etc.). No need to mount anything.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rodge32:
hi, yea it is, boots up all the time into it from the image i put onto my sd card, cant get any further tho, its a nightmare i dont know what im doing wrong, i might just give up!!!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lothian:
ART and P.A.'s GAPPS

se1961...

you recommend within your post to download P.A.'s GAPPS ('step 4') and install it ('step 11'); subsequently, under 'step 11' you comment that "...enabling [ART (Android Runtime)] made a very big difference for me in terms of smoothness".

However, within the article "Meet ART, Part 1" that you provide a link to, the following advisory appears in bolded type:

"Warning: Do not try this with the Paranoid Android (or other AOSP) build right now. There is an incompatibility with the current gapps package that causes rapid crashing, making the interface unusable." (published: 11/6/2013)​

You do not mention this conflict--between your recommendation to install P.A.'s GAPPS and the specific warning not to in the article you cite--within your post. This isn't a criticism--just an observation. You post helped me through the process of updating my NookHD+, compared with the particularly anemic (or plain incorrect) procedure described within the posts of others.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Blenky:
I followed the instructions in this thread AND enabled ART. Works great.

Some nightlies will cause problems as they 'break' ART. Keep an eye on the discussions in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600572 for comments on which nightlies work with ART.

Also some apps don't work with ART - but I've yet to come across one!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] gsmitchell:
Thanks

Thanks so much for this excellent guide! I had gotten to a place with the Nook HD+ where it was on CM 10.2, but recovery was not working, could not read from microSD, etc. Yes, I had "half-hosed" it. :) But your method pulled it out of the muck, and I am happily on Kitkat now! Great job, and thanks again!

[Nook HD, HD+ General] xavieronassis:
SD card capacity reduced after burning image.

I'm using a class 4, 8 GB Sansa micro sd card to burn the emmc-cwm-early3 recovery file but every time I do it the Properties window shows the card is now 856 MB total capacity, obviously not enough space to backup the stock ROM.

I'm currently moving files from a 32 GB card to see if it might work but I'm thinking the result will be the same.

What am I missing here?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You need to backup to internal memory instead of the SD. All SDs will burn to that size.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] xavieronassis:
Copying error

Then I'm confused. What is the point of having the option to backup to the external sd card if I should backup to the Nook's internal card?

If you can't tell, this is the first time I've attempted this operation after reading countless posts here.

I ended up using a partioning tool to extend the partition then chose "backup to external sd card"

Afterward, I moved the "clockworkmod" file to my computer's HD for safe keeping but on copying I got an error message:

Error 0x80070570: The file is corrupted and unreadable.

Searching on the error code I found the most common problem is with the Windows registry.

Not sure where to go form here.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It does not matter where you put it the first time if you are going to copy it to your PC anyway. The option to back up to external SD is there if you have room. And the clockworkmod is a folder, not a file. The folder contains many files.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] xavieronassis:
Sorry, I meant to type "files"

I'd put them on my computer if I could copy them but apparently I cannot.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
How are you trying to copy, by putting the card in the PC or using the USB cable?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] xavieronassis:
The card is in the computer. Looks like the card may be going bad.

If I save the backup on the Nook don't I need to copy somewhere it so it doesn't get wiped when I install the new ROM?

I've made another backup to the internal sd card but I'm hesitant to proceed installing Kit Kat without being able to verify the backup is ok.

The backup exited with no error so I decided I didn't need to be concerned about it.

Went ahead and installed CM 11. It's such a huge improvement over BN's software I can't believe how much better the Nook performs.

Thanks for your input and assistance.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It is stored to the media partition which is not wiped when you install a new ROM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] carlosmuslera:
Thank you!

Thank you man. This worked easy and my Nook is really good stuff now! Regards.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] anupt:
Thanks for the amazing guide. Fore me i could flush the zip files from the external SD card. only problem was backing up. the CWM will not back up to external CARD. After the image was written the 8 gb card show on 800mb free space. dont know why. so i backed up to internal sd then booted back to nook and transferred the CWM back up to my computer before doing factory wipe.(may be i had too much data in the nook).everything else worked great and i could update to latest unofficial.

thank you again

[Nook HD, HD+ General] jpisini:
More than likely it is an issue with a magnet cover if you shut the cover again and reopen it does the Nook unlock?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] anupt:
It may be. but happens only when the screen lock is activated. i just tried by re activating the screen lock.after closing the magentic cover and then opening the screen went blank and and unstable. had to reboot for the screen to become stable.

I'm just following the OP's instructions to the t. I'm getting to the initial CWM recovery (6.0.4.6), but when I choose anything on the menu, it blanks for a second and then returns back to the same main menu.

Did I miss a step?

Ugh. Embarrassing, but I'm going to leave it for other noobs to learn from my mistake. I was hitting the power button to select, when it's the home/nook button that's select. Ugh...

Awesome guide. I just bought a refurb Nook HD+ to have a bit of a play with. Twenty minutes after it was delivered I have CM11 on it :D

Probably mentioned before but I found Win32diskImager chopped lumps off several SD cards when writing the image even though the write was successful. I managed to restore full capacity using these instructions. :) Also, the CWM backup of the original Nook rom was written to the internal SD card even though I selected external. Other than that, totally flawless :good:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Finners:
Thanks for the guide OP, really helping me through my first ever ROM flash.

Can anyone just confirm for me I have the correct files and they are all compatible with each other. As I said this is my first ever go at flashing anything so a little more than clueless!

I files I have downloaded are.

emmc-cwm-early3.img.gz

cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip

cm-11-20140505-SNAPSHOT-M6-ovation.zip

pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20140708-signed.zip

Should I go for the M8 build instead? and as the PA google apps are the latest 4.4.4 are they compatible?

Thanks,

EDIT*

Another question. Am I right in my understanding that I extract emmc-cwm-early3.img.gz and use the win32diskimager to write it to my SD card and that is all that I put on the sd card? the rest goes onto the Nook itself?

Thanks,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] petec:
Having got tomtom navigator 5.21 working on my Exec (now that Tomtom are supporting it and providing activation codes) I find that the default zoom is too small for normal use, especially in rural areas. On my previous XDAIIi the default zoom was fine and everything easily visible.

On the Exec, the map detail is small and the compass almost unreadable. You zoom in automatically at junctions so this is better, but zoom out after the junction.

I know you can use the manual zoom buttons but this only lasts a few seconds and then zooms out again.

Tomtom support could not offer a solution.

Does anyone know hoe to alter the default zoom setting? Can you alter settings on the Exec to compensate? I have tried the 'large text' setting on the Exec but this made no difference.

Any ideas greatfully received
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
don't waste your time. Not possible
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mikeycrawford:
you could try running TomTom in 320x240 mode instead of VGA mode, but this requires a hack ( try pocketgps.com to see what needs modifying in the TomTom executable )
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
For that you need to use a resource editor and remove the HI_DPI_Aware resource from the "TomTom Navigator.exe"
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] petec:
Thanks for the info Ibendlin.

Not sure what a resource editor is but assume you can download one. Is it similar to a registry editor? Is it relatively easy to remove the HP_DPI-Aware resource for the Tomtom navigator.exe file?

Sounds like I could end up with another can of worms if I try this one. Perhaps I would be better off accepting the small screen?

Any other exec users got the same problem?

You will want to boot into TWRP and flash your nandroid backup. If you don't have one then you will have to adb.sideload a ROM or factory image.
