[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] FirePsych:
At the moment I'm on 1/14 Nightly.

ART

PA modular mini GAPPS from January. It's been updated since the original release if anyone didn't know.

Launcher 3

Interactive/Noop

No wallpaper

Apex Pro was a little glitchy, so I'm sticking with Launcher 3 right now.

Easily smoother than any CM 10.2 I've run.

The wifi sleep thing is a little iffy, but I have no problem toggling wifi on/off.

I have the Poetic case with the magnet, so I'm used to the open/close, open/close, open thing. Annoying but certainly not a big deal or deal breaker.

Currently, this is running slightly better than my Razr M on CM11 nightlies as a comparison. It tends to go back and forth, depending on the changes made from night to night. But both have consistently been stable.

I'm about to jinx myself, but I've had no problems with Official CM11 on my HD+

Just downloaded and am about to update to 1/16 nightly.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Updated to 1/16

Set DPI to 290

So far, so good.

Battery life is meh, but I expect that will improve as the 4.4 nuances get worked out.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
Updated to 1/16. Still very fast and snappy. I think battery life has gone down a bit. Lost a few apps somehow, they just were simply no longer installed. Most of them were games. Still haven't enabled ART, waiting on Xposed to be compatible. If that never happens, oh well; it's already very fast compared to stock rom. Still a very smooth experience with Nova launcher.

Edit: Well, this isn't good. Playing Tiny Monsters is freezing/rebooting my tablet. I think I'm gonna try the 1/15 unofficial.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Stevethegreat:
I haven't tried RAZR m on kitkat but last I checked it on 4.2.2 AOSP it was blazingly fast, almost like moto x, courtesy of its Qualcomm cores and low res. By comparison our nooks are in the opposite end of the spectrum, high res and slow cores and I must say the amount of speed -the devs- were able to squeeze from so little is sort of impressive, but RAZR m/ moto x calibre? Not even close, so either RAZR m got really slow really fast or your nook started to go blazingly fast in which case I *really* need to know your settings.

My experience is different, cm11 is the fastest release on my Nook but still it the least responsive of all my machines (imagine how far below was before cm11), courtesy of its TI omap soc. But yea, as I said, what your *exact* setup is like would be great to know (governors, VM used, io, scripts etc)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asakurato:
Looking formard to official release, until then I'll be on succulent's rom :D
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] D000XXX:
Quick notice: succulents Rom did not allow me to install certificates. I haven't checked this one yet but I'll report back as soon as I do.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:
I wish the first page had mentioned that the zips have to be installed to the internal SD. I installed to the external SD, wiped by system, and couldn't install anything. I'm restoring backup now - hopefully I will be able to boot, move the files, erase system, and try again. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Great to see you back man! I've been following the cm 10.2 thread very closely and been using the trim kernel myself (quite a handful of us did). No issues reported whatsoever.

Looking forward to your awesome work!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Actually both kinds are available. for internal and for sdcard install.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:
What I meant is that you can't install the zip files from the new CWM if they are on the external card. The old CWM could see the external card. So you have to put the zip files on internal.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
I see, yes, you are right. This is still something to be fixed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] psycho_asylum:
Hello! I have a Nook HD and I haven't been able to figure this out from searching. I finally flashed CWM from the first post to the device instead of using the SD card every time, and I'm getting this error when trying to flash any zips: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "hummingbird"

Is there an easy way to fix that? I found one where it suggests removing the assert line from one of the scripts in the zip file but that sounds like overkill.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Don't do that! Never remove an assert! It is there to protect you. It means you downloaded the wrong zip. Hummingbird is for the HD. You want the one that says ovation for the HD+.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] psycho_asylum:
But I have an HD. I've been flashing hummingbird zips from the SD card recovery for almost two months with no issues until I tried the new recovery. I can't get it to load from the SD card anymore for some reason.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Did you flash the right recovery? Maybe you flashed the ovation recovery. The recovery is what the assert checks against.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] psycho_asylum:
Yes I flashed cwm-recovery-hummingbird-3.zip from the first post.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
The thing is, recovery for ovation would not even start on hummingbird, so I am not sure how this is possible.

Hm... My copy of installzip that I tested with seems to be different from what I uploaded, I wonder if a wrong ramdisk was attached, let me investigate that angle.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] psycho_asylum:
Thanks, I'll stop messing with it until I hear back.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Hm, ok, so after some investigation it seems that the update-binary I have in the cwm zips is too old, or something, so it returns empty string for product device when run from within new CWM itself.

But cm11 install itself still works for me.

I uploaded updated cwm recovery zips:

ovation recovery image (CWM)

hummingbird recovery image (CWM)

[MENTION=3654172]verygreen[/MENTION] welcome back! Really good to see a cm11 built by you. Have been using yours 10.2 and was just waiting for that.

What do you think about this kernel? Didn't try it yet but people seems to like it. Do you think this feature can be added to cm11?

actually there is a 2.6.3.0 TWRP for KK 4.4 here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48846252&postcount=95

I flashed it via Flashify and it works :) way better than cwm, imho

I am currently using verygreen 0106 build, dirty flashed from iamafanof 0103 build, and then PA full gapps: all is OK, not tried ART yet
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] psycho_asylum:
Thanks for that build, I was able to flash that zip with no problems. However, when I tried to flash the newest official nightly for CM10.2, it gives the assert failed. Is that just something that happens with 10.2?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
This is probably due to old update-binary too (it's actually shipped in the zip to be installed)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asksmity:
Working wonderfully! Good job.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dcahoe:
I have been running first the unofficial CM11 builds and more recently the nightlies and have experienced no sluggishness at any point.

I checked and my settings are 'Interactive' and 'CFQ' with 'Purging of Assets' enabled and '16bit transparency' turned off. I flashed this over CM10.2 (clean with full wipe) and don't think I have changed the governor or i/o scheduler settings in a long time.

I have not tried ART yet but do have the PA modular mini gapps installed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] brentil:
I flashed backwards from official 01/16 to unofficial 01/15 and it does feel more responsive.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
Has anyone tried to use a OTG? I have a female USB/USB and it doesn't appear to be working for me. Could it be an ART/TRIM issue?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Youngunn2008:
On 1/15 unofficial I had the flashing blank screen issue until I checked the option for 16 bit transparency. YMMV.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] felacio:
I made a couple female to female usb connectors that both worked before, I'm on 1/15 UNOFFICIAL I'll give them a shot and see what happens. I know it's not TRIM as I used it with my connectors in the past. Remember to flip the usb switcher app on?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
Herp derp forgot about usb switcher :silly:

I'm on very's 1/10 unofficial. I remember seeing it in succulants CM11, not seeing it in this one....

Pulled it from succulant's and installed it. Everything is good in the otg world. Thanks felacio

Works great with DSLR Dashboard and my D700 ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
New binary drop.

Highlights: Fixed headset mic issue, it now works.

Also cm-11 official switched to TI wpa supplicant. I pushed my tiler kernel updates for ovation, so nightlies should have same kernels as what I have for ovation.

in unofficial bulds from me access to usbswitcher is from quick settings panel (this thing you drag down from top right corner, you'll see USB Normal there, press it to switch to USB Host).

If yoou need the legcy usbswitcher tool ,it's also referenced in OP along with other useful tools ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
Just flashed 1/17 unofficial. Working wonderfully. I think I'm sticking with this one or future unofficial builds only for a while.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jpisini:
On 1/15 WiFi seems fixed. Still getting sleep of death. Battery life isn't as good but it is OK. Very responsive.

--------edit-----------

I am doing a full wipe and reinstall to see if that fixes my SOD (sleep of death) issues.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
For hummingbird, is the only difference between official and unofficial at this point the addition of the USB & overclock options in the unofficial?

Will the USB option allow me to make backups and transfers directly from my HD to an external hard drive? For example, using Titanium Backup?

Also, a GUI question: Does anyone know how to use the local user image in the User Profile tile in the notification drawer instead of the Google+ user image? In the early unofficial CM 11 builds I had my local user image showing which I prefer. After using the official builds, now only the Google+ user image shows, and I can't see how to change this.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Crazy Chuckster:
Ok so I reverted my nook back to factory stock, wifi works fine. Now I want to test the latest unofficial and am having another problem. I followed these steps

For new Installs:

Download the initial sdcard image

ungzip and write to sdcard using dd (winimage or whatever for those stuck on Windows)

Instert the card into your nook and reboot

Flash the recovery image

Flash cm11 image

Flash whatever other extra things you need like gapps

remove the sdcard

reboot the nook

I downloaded this http://nook.rootshell.ru/hd/emmc-cwm-early3.img.gz and used winimage to write it to the sdcard. Now when I boot my nook I cannot see the sdcard to choose the recovery and CM 11 to install, I can only see the internal memory.

What am I doing wrong?

PS: I have a Nook HD+ and I am downloading the ovation files.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] silasrye:
Everything is correct. Just boot up nook normal, put the cm11 zip and emmc cwm zip on your internal memory, then try the flashing process again.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Xyriin:
Posted these earlier...

I pulled the alternate older bootable image from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613

Obviously if your Nook isn't in a state to copy files to internal memory you'll have to use the older bootable image to flash the new recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Crazy Chuckster:
I got it figured out, thanks guys. Still having wifi problems though on latest unofficial.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] razholio:
You are unable to see the externalSD in CWM? This is a change in the defaults, not in the capabilities of CWM. The default used to be externalSD only, and now it's internalSD only. If you want access to the externalSD, go to mount/unmount partitions in the advanced menu and mount it up. All the filesystem access menus (flash file, backup, etc.) will now also have entries to '... to externalSD'.

I asked verygreen about mounting both int/ext SD cards by default, but haven't heard. I don't know if there's a consensus on this, but there is certainly enough confusion to warrant a change.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:
Hp

Bluetooth teathering doesn't work for me. It connects using pdanet tablet, but says there is no Internet connection. Is this a known issue?

The cwm version that Verygreen posted a few pages back recognizes the external sd.

Do we have to reinstall gapps when installing a newer daily or only when updating from a different version?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tubamuirum:
01/10 works better for me

I tried 01/17 today - flashed over 01/10 after wiping cache.

I got the flashing screen issue which I had not seen before, and had wi-fi issues back again, which had been better for me since 01/10. I was able to fix the flashing by enabling 16bit transparency (thanks, youngunn2008!), but something was clearly less stable. Fortunately I had backed-up 01/10 and flashed it back after doing a hard reset. All good again, and I think I'll leave it that way for now.

Admittedly another difference was that I hard-reset before restoring 01/10 (and indeed before I installed it), so perhaps it's better to install after a hard reset each time?

If so maybe I'll have another go with 01/17...

It is amazing how well it all works so soon - cheers verygreen!

Hi,

upgraded from cm10.2 today.

everything works fine except for video playback h264.

i tried mx player with custom codec for arm7 neo and bs player.

on cm10.2 it worked with h/w+ decoding on cm11 mx comes up with an error "can't play that with h/w+;h/w"

is this a known problem? is there anysolution for this?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] NishantM:
I can confirm this.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
Hm, given this and some similar reports and based on what I have seen recently in my tiler experiments - do you guy that have flashing screen issue can describe it in more details?

Is it like blacking out from time to time? remains mostly blank?

Do you have unusually large background image installed or some such? Many-many home screens?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tubamuirum:
Flashing issue

It is a flickering to black and back very quick and happens repeatedly when I navigate to, say, apps page or file explorer. The flicker is very quick, so the proper screen is there most of the time. I am using Nova launcher, only one homescreen, really simple: a few shortcuts and cLock. I have a plain .jpg wallpaper. The wallpaper is whatever size was recommended for Nook HD+ (there was some confusion as to the correct size) but there is no flicker on the homescreen.

Update - reverting to 01/10 has NOT cleared the flashing screen issue after all - it's back again, so I have re-enabled 16bit transparency for now...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] appye:
There is a link to CM at the bottom of that thread that is related to this issue:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/56054/

Maybe the workaround can be cherrypicked for the unofficial builds?

This bovine feces.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] swanysto:
Does anyone know why gapps refuses to install? I flash it with no problems, but when it reboots into CM there are no apps. I installed the 4.4.x 1-17 version linked. I have tried going through the whole process again, and still does seem to work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] js365:
I have the exactly same issue. It happens with apps. Not on the homescreen.

Nova Launcher + Single homescreen + jpg wallpaper.

That is where I got it from. I tried the mini one first, and I just tried the stock one, and it is not working either. :(

The answer might be here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49144868&highlight=codec+mx+player#post491448. I know little about these things but it seems there is a custom codec and maybe it can work in the Nook.

What recovery are you using?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] swanysto:
I was using the one linked in the first post of this thread(recovery ovation 6) . I got it to work, by re-flashing everything like 5 times. Finally everything is working now.

thank you .

also tried Antutu benchmark from same tablet

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kiyo21:
The best way to describe it is that the screen appears to cut out and go blank for a split second before showing up again. Sometimes it would blank out once. Other times it would blank out and repeat a few times in succession, hence the flickering description. I don't think the screen goes black but actually turns off for an instant before turning back on. It doesn't seem to be app specific. It occurred in several apps I use. Home screen is a single page.

I think it only happens when I flash a new build after wiping data and cache. As mentioned, the problem goes away after a few hours or a single day of use. Right now, I haven't had any issues since I first installed cm11 a week or so ago.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tebra:
For me it occurred often when charger plug in and after cache wiped. Even with 16bit graphics enabled.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Xyriin:
The external SD did not appear in the the emmc-cwm-early3.img, nor was there an ability to mount it. The only possible location to flash files from was internal memory. Needless to say I rebooted to recovery a dozen times or so to verify this was the case and not a random occurrence. In the end I was forced to use the work-around I mentioned above (an older bootable CWM image) in order to get the new recovery installed.

So no, simply mounting was not option, because there was no option to mount the external SD which I found rather odd.

Obviously it's not a show stopper for CM11. One can dig up an older alternate recovery not in this thread or they can copy the files to internal memory before they use the bootable image. It's just a bit inconvenient and requires some digging around in other threads. (Seriously big thanks to leapinlar though, without his thread I would have been in a tight spot as I fully formatted my HD+ before I went to install CM11)

If you can't copy files to internal memory your procedure looks something like this...

1. Download alternate older bootable image

2. Install old bootable image to SD

3. Copy new CM11 compatible recovery, CM11, GApps, etc to SD

4. Reboot into SD recovery

5. Flash recovery

6. Remove SD

7. Manually reboot into internal recovery

8. Install SD

9. Flash CM11, GApps, etc from SD

10. Remove SD

11. Reboot Nook
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] verygreen:
So, lost sync and gfx underflow, huh. That's very unlike to what I have seen in my experiments then.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] razholio:
I'm running the new cwm for cm11 that is in the OP. I grabbed it last week and I'm able to mount the external SD. It sounds like you may have an older Rev of the new cwm. You can grab it and flash it with the one you have.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Xyriin:
No, as I specified multiple times the bootable image used was from the OP and the file name emmc-cwm-early3.img.gz. Furthermore the file hasn't changed since 2014-01-07 (01:48) and I downloaded and tested on 1/13/2014. I'll add the reminder here that others have experienced issues with loading from the external SD and had to move files to internal memory to flash.

Just in case you're confused, I'm not referring to cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip, this flashable recovery works just fine. I can access the external SD all day with it. The only issue is with the CWM present on the initial bootable image.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] razholio:
Indeed I was confused and I do apologize for wasting your time. Your instructions will be very useful to those starting out with the SD image.

Issues with ROM

Hi all,

I have installed this ROM and all was great until I realised that my nook won't charge using this ROM.

I noticed that if I toggled usb host /on/off the charge light would switch from green to orange but only the settings icon showed charging, the battery stats still claimed to be on battery only.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tebra:
To be precise, this is on nook HD+ with last unofficial build. But it was also the case with other unofficial.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] SUOrangeman:
Upgrade CWM on SD?

I too would like to express my gratitude to verygreen and all supporters for the excellent work on CM11. I've successfully upgraded nearly all of the releases to date without any issues (using SD only, no EMMC).

I do have one question. How can I **upgrade** CWM on my **SD** install?

I see that I can apply the updated sdcard-cwm-early9.img.gz to my SD to get the latest CWM, but I'm pretty sure that would blow away the CM11 install that's already working fine on the SD. Is there just a zip that I can flash or manually extract that will **only update** CWM on the SD? Creating a full backup image of the SD, overwriting the SD with sdcard-cwm-early9.img.gz, and then restoring the CM11 partitions back on to the SD seems a little excessive just for the newer CWM bits.

Thanks!

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tubamuirum:
Actually I find that the 16bit transparency toggle fix is at best temporary for me and I wonder if the required reboot when enabling the feature has as much to do with resetting whatever clocking/sync problem is happening. It does occur when on charge and when waking the screen, then settles.
