[Nook HD, HD+ General] evilgoose:
Just wanted to thank you for the guide. Everything worked smoothly when I went to flash cm-11-20140224-NIGHTLY-ovation.

I think the one piece of information that made me most confused was the that we need 2 CWMs. This wasn't due to your instructions though. It was because I was trying to understand the process of ROMing the Nook HD+. It became apparent that the first one is to "intercept" normal boot with cyanoboot. The second is to have installed and usable for any other reasons you may have (backups, restoring, wipe/reset data, flashing).

Overall, it's a great guide. So long as people follow it they should get themselves a ROMed Nook HD. Thanks a bunch!

I forgot to mention that I was bouncing between stock and CM11 trying to get some apps to transfer over that wouldn't and I came upon a problem. When I flashed CM11 the second time I had my screen flickering every once and a while. I'm not sure what prompted this, could have been that I was charging the Nook at the time, but I re-flashed CM11 and that seemed to make the problem go away. No weird flashing so far.

This isn't a problem with your instructions but just something in general about build cm-11-20140224-NIGHTLY-ovation that I wanted to share.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] cabbieBot:
Is there a particular nightly of CM that is particularly smooth? I've tried the last few and even with ART enabled, I get up to 5 seconds of lag between touching the screen and it registering...the whole OS is jerky and slow. Really confused why this would be. Is there an overclock kernel people are using?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] barth2:
That does not seem right.

My hd+ is not as smooth as my ipad but there is not a 5sec lag. I'm running a nightly. Don't have it with me now so can't check, but it is one with the google experience launcher.

Maybe you should try wiping everything and starting over with a fresh install.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] zeppelinman_2000:
+1 for wiping everything and starting over.

Have been other reports in the cm11 thread of the same problem with lag and screen flashing from a dirty flash, seams a full wipe and reflash then restore data from titanium backup cured both.

Good luck hope it helps.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] markdavey:
I cannot select ART on the latest CM11 nightly. When I select the option, it states that it is 'unsupported' and asks me to confirm I really want to do it which I confirm, the tablet re-boots but the RT remains on Dalvik. Any ideas?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jpisini:
are you using the art gapps
[Nook HD, HD+ General] markdavey:
Thanks, will check.

Also, when the Nook goes to 'sleep' and I try and log in using my PIN, the screen just flickers and goes blank even with the right pin entered. Only way to get around this is to re-boot, any ideas?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jpisini:
do you have a magnetic cover? If yes try closing and reopening it when this happens
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Blenky:
Great post! Just followed your steps to successfully get KitKat on 2 HD+ (one for me and one for my son!). Thank you.

Interestingly I used a SanDisk 32 GB Class 10 card. Worked on both without issue.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Goggles2114:
I'd followed the cyanogenmod wiki guide for getting cm11 going:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_hummingbird#Installing_CyanogenMod_11_from_CWM_recovery

Essentially the same as your guide save for the links pointing to hummingbird rather than ovation. Everything works except wifi isn't connecting. It acts like it's connected, I get signal, but nothing off of the latest nightly as of 3/5/2014. Should I go back to a prior nightly and try again?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
Did you do "wipe /data & factory reset"?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Goggles2114:
I did, but apparently I did things in the wrong order. Reread and redid things now I'm all good except not liking a few punctuation marks are now harder to get to on the keyboard.

Will updating from nightly to an M build or Stable down the road hose my install?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
You shouldn't have to wipe /data & factory reset again when you update to a newer build of the same ROM (but switching to a different CM11-based ROM might require wiping /data).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Goggles2114:
It does figure when I install the screen cast apk I'd upgraded so I could use, is gone.

Ah well.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] patstar5:
Got Kitkat!

Tried following advice of article in this thread but my device wasn't hummingbird, it was ovation so I had to look for new recovery image. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_hummingbird#Installing_CyanogenMod_11_from_CWM_recovery I actually used cwm-recover-ovation-6, which was an older version of cwm to install kikat. I think I was on 6.3.x and it downgraded to 6.0.x. I couldn't flash GAPPS so now I am looking for a cwm to do that. I am trying the one found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600572. Will let you know how it goes. But for the quick time I was in Cyanognemod 11, my nook hd+ seemed pretty smooth!

Edit:That link was to the same old cwm recovery found updated one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2579945

Edit 2: I still can't install gapps from any cwm I've tried. I have 6.0.3.6, someone said to move gapps to internal memory and that still didn't work. Help?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ponghclub@gmail.com:
[MENTION=3921883]se1961[/MENTION]. thank for the guide to install kk. Second time the charm forget the first. Still new to kitkat I really hope this rom stable. :)

PS...i have tapatalk but I don't know the official name for tapatalk.....can you tell me? Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] 96shox:
Used the latest Nightly build but other than that, word for word what's on the original post...and Keep getting Status 7 error when installing GApps.

To try another CM11 build do I have to load up Stock OS again, add it to internal SD card and reboot into CWM? or is there an easier way
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Are you using a 6045 or newer CWM to flash it?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] 96shox:
Whatever was in the original post. :confused: There's no detailed version # in the file name or when installing.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
it shows on the top line when you run it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
Access to Previous Media-Content Folder/File

A few weeks back I had flashed my stock HD+ to CM11 unofficial build 01/18 and yesterday updated to the Snapshot M4 build which just came out.

On both of these builds I notice that the media content I previously had on stock ROM is not accessible/visible over USB (via MTP on a Win PC) nor on the device itself (via File Manager, even with "Root Explorer" and "Show Hidden File" enabled).

At first I had assumed that the content was gone from emmc as a result of the "wipe /data" in the CM11 installation -- but to my great surprise, these content folders/files show up when I browse the sdcard while in the CWM "install zip" menu navigation.

I also have the same problem with CWM backup files: the CWM restore menu navigation would show the backup files as in /sdcard/cwm/backup, yet I can't find/access these backup files with File Manager.

I'd like to know if there is a way to access these backup and previous media-content folders/files.

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

I did a bit of search and found that my previous media-content is located in the folder /data/media (items other than /0, /legacy, /obb).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Goggles2114:
Anyone else update to M4 and get stuck in a reboot loop?

Edit: Had to go through reflashing cwm-5 the m4 rom, gapps, and all that as if I wee going from 10.2 rather than update 'just working' Most annoyed.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] 96shox:
ah, 6.0.4.6.

Well, I tried booting up again to try the install and it booted into Cyanogen, but without GApps I think.. I have no Google Play store. :confused:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You said you got an error when you tried to flash gapps. That is why no Play Store. What version of gapps did you try to flash? To get back to CWM you need to boot holding the n and power keys together for a few seconds when booting. Not too long though or it will turn itself off.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] 96shox:
I got back into boot, Im trying to find the right versions of gaaps and CM11 to use.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] 96shox:
Ugh, now that CM11 is what it boots into, I cant add the new files to be booted (and you cant flash from external SD card apparently) This is my first Android custom rom attempt and its becoming a disaster. I think the original post needs to be updated...The files listed there dont work
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Blenky:
The original post is fine. I have followed the instructions to flash two HD+'s without issue. You need to follow the steps carefully. The only thing that took time was finding an SD card that would boot.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
With the CWM recovery in verygreen's emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz (linked as "Initial ovation sdcard image (cwm)" at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49192422&postcount=1) you should be able to flash from external card, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51043572&postcount=1.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] 96shox:
how come while CM is installed, I can't add zip files to the Nook's internal memory in a location where CWM will be able to use it for a flash?

Seems like I have to revert to stock Nook o/s to be able to add the files
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You can, but you must use a root file manager to do it. Go to /data/media/0 and you can access the file you put on your internal CM sdcard. Move or copy that file to /data/media and CWM can see it. Or actually, easier yet, when looking for the file with CWM, just look in the 0 folder.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] JimJ2Mz:
???

Can anyone maybe give me info on the differences and advantages on EMMC installs vs SDCARD installs?

Besides one being internal and other external.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Goggles2114:
Wanting to say internal gives you faster access times and more stability but I haven't run anything off SD.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jpisini:
Internal is uasually faster but SD let's you keep stock just in case. I ran that way for months with no issues but now I run Succulents CM11 on internal very smooth and stable.

From CM10.1/10.2

Thanks for the hardwork to keep our devices alive!

I installed CM10.1 via the 'leaplinar' thread and his advice, very helpful - tried to go to 10.2 and then after some great guide from a few users I am thinking of flashing CM11 nightly (latest). For some reason, I went quickly into one of verygreens thread and I booted into recovery and flashed the new recovery for CM11 and then flashed the CM11 nightly but missed on the GAPPS for this specific version instead flashed the GAPPS for 10.2.X and I ran into errors. So, just returned back to 10.1 although, I went into recovery to go back to CWM for CM10.1/10.2 for some reason the new CWM version 6 for CM11 got stuck and it was not overwriting - I still continued to flash CM10.1 and respective GAPPS and it is working now.

Once I attempted to even go back to my stock Nook ROM from the backup I made - but it only threw checksum 5 errors and couldn't go back to stock. Don't know what that errors means.

So given the above background, since I am still able to boot into my recovery mode and on the required recovery for CM11 - can I flash the nightly and the respective GAPP (after delete/wipe) from there instead of me going back to stock nook, boot from SD card and then recovery>CM11 and Gapp? I think it should, because last time when I did - I was able to see the rom installing properly except the apps were throwing errors since I flashed the wrong GAPP - just need a confirmation from you guys....

thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I would recommend you boot to CWM and go to 'mounts and storage' and format /system, /data and /cache (nothing else!). Follow that with a fresh install of the CM11 zip and the proper gapps zip. That way you carry over no garbage from earlier screwups.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Thanks Leepinlar, after formatting will I be able to boot into recovery again!?

UPDATE: yes I was able to do what you advised. I tried flashing from the SD card (I had copied files in both extSD card and internal)...got a checksum error and aborted installation. I ejected the SD card and flashed from the internal SD card it went through - did not take much time that kept me wondering whether it properly installed, followed by the Paranoid GAPPS google package. So far so good..setting up the machine now, will update you if something odd happens after this. Thanks Leepinlar, you are a super star!

enabling ART question

Hi

I followed all and successfully running CM11 nightly. I have two questions related to 'enabling ART' mentioned above. When I tried to enable ART, I had a message pop up which said Cyanogenmod does not currently support ART and made me to come back here for clarity before I go ahead. So my question are,

1. Say in future when I try to install a new version (update, nightly or stable) will there be gonna any issues with the update - this I am asking because the device would be running ART and the update will be Dalvik based. This is just me...I am no expert.

2. After enabling ART, if I want to disable and go back to dalvik - will there be any clashes?

thanks for the great work!

S
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Just a feedback

I am no expert - just wanted to share what I observed. There is a bit of lag between when you touch and for the action to take place. By that I mean after you click (or touch) a link or an icon there is around 2 seconds lag for the action to occur. This is not just with the CM11, I did notice with the 10.1/10.2 ROM as well.

Is this something that can be tweaked to be more responsive by way of some .apk - I noticed somewhere in one of #leapinlar or #verygreen thread that there was an apk to adjust touch sensitivity, not sure whether this is the one for that.

Also can someone - help with the question in my earlier posting above please!

thanks

[Nook HD, HD+ General] Blenky:
I don't know about going back to dalvik but I have been using ART since for the last month and have installed a number of new nightlies without issue.

I've yet to hit any problems with ART - all my apps work fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Thanks Blenky for the response, so every time you flash a new nightly do you have to enable ART?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Blenky:
No. It stays set as ART.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Armadillo123:
I should receive my Nook HD+ tomorrow.

I have a 1 GB Micro SD card laying around and I'd like to use it if possible (yeah, I'm a cheapskate :o)

If I'm reading it right I can just copy the emmc-cwm-early3.1.IMG, which is 900 mb, onto the micro sd card and the other 3 files goes onto the Nook hd+' internal memory, so I should be ok, right?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
You need to write the emmc-cwm-early3.1.IMG to your SD card using a disk image writer program such as win23diskimager, rather than just copy the file to your SD card.

Alternatively, you can use the method outlined at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 to create the bootable CWM recovery SD card.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Armadillo123:
Sorry, wrong choice of words. Yes, I got that part. But that's the only file I need on the SD card, right? So 1 GB is sufficient then?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Thanks Blenky, I now enabled ART and when it boots it says it couldn't enable CM updates app since a message window popped up. I went into settings>developer options>updates to confirm whether the updates are still accessible, but as expected it couldn't connect to update server.

So I am guessing, you manually downloaded the nightlies from CM site and flashed it after enabling ART. Since this is the case, I went in and tried Dalvik again to see if I come up with any issues - in fact it was very quick when it rebooted to home screen while optimizing the app for dalvik (quick I meant the process of optimisation when we enable either ART or Dalvik).

Conclusion: Two options in hand: OPTION 1 - either have ART and do the download manually from the site and flash it or OPTION 2: stick with Dalvik and enjoy the comfort of detecting a new update from the device setting itself.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bpaulien:
I have been running ART with several updates using the built in CM updater no problem. It detects, downloads, reboots and installs. Not sure what's going on with yours...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jdjohn:
Maybe. True available storage on the card will be something less than 1GB since some of the space will be used for other things. It's worth a shot, though. By the way, it needs to be a class 4 or higher microSD card in order to work. I bought an 8GB class 4 SanDisk microSD card at Staples last week for $10.99. That was the smallest size they had. I think they were running a special through mid-April on all SanDisk cards.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Emergency Help!

Hi

Like I mentioned earlier, enabling ART screwed me again. At least last time I was able to go back into settings and was able to change it back to Dalvik but now after it rebooted, I get lots of error message one including 'DSP Manager has stopped working'. Cannot go past the screen, if I force reboot again it comes back and hangs there. Additionally, I get this message 'Unfortunately, themes provider has stopped working'.

I tried to go into recovery mode and flashed the ROM back still the same issue. Can somebody urgently help me sort this please. I will never enable ART again. I am unable to read from external SD card as well using this recovery, it only shows me the internal card and I am not able to copy files to it as well. Do I need to start from SD card boot....?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Blenky:
Same here. Had no problem with CM installer and ART. After d/l and install via CM app always stays as ART.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] kokercey:
are you using the correct gapps for Art. I have been using the pa gapps for four months and have switched back and forth between Delvick and Art with every build with no problems.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Yes I am using PA Gapps too. Could it be because of a certain nightly build I was using. When I had this issue, I was running the very latest nightly 20140402 build. Totally lost the touch sensitivity. So restarted into recovery, tried to flash the ROM again and when it booted back same issue. I was also trying to start from Ground zero and was pulling out the sd card to load the bootable files and other files together. But in the meanwhile I thought of doing this:

Got into recovery>format option and also clear cache - after this when I rebooted it went into a fresh setup screen to give me a sigh of relief.

I now dread to try activating ART. This is my second time and the worse with enabling ART. The previous one was with the build on 31st april I guess, after enabling ART when it rebooted there was a pop up window that said 'could not start cyanogenmod updater app something in that line. So went on to settings to confirm whether my device can still access the CM updates but as expected, it could not check for an update. So I went back to runtime and enabled Dalvik back again.

And after seeing those confident replies from a few members above, I was driven to go and try ART after I updated the latest build following which the dreadful thing happened as above. This morning when I tried to setup a few accounts, I noticed a few strange keyboard issues with that build also the app drawer swipes from one corner was unable to move over the icons to the next screen it had some resistence.

I am now thinking should I enable ART again or wait for a little more stable build before I experiment!!?

Can somebody advice, whether what I did was right to get back to a workable state just in case something like this happens again. What does format or delete option do in the recovery?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Kokercey, I am starting to analyse what could've caused this and from your question - makes me think a lot about the GAPPS. I have installed Google Package of the PA GAPPS (complete bunch) so I am wondering if I avoid those camera and a few other apps included in it which is not required for Nook HD+ maybe this problem may not happen...which package did you install in yours - full package or the mini modular or the micro modular?

Secondly, since the GAPPS are installed already from my original flashing - how do I go about removing all of the GAPPS from my system even if I flash a new CM11 nightly the GAPPS are intact, so how do I remove completely and install the new set of GAPPS.

thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] kokercey:
Well I'm just an ignorant farmer so i don't know much so i will give you what i have. I am using the March build of succulants build, but all his builds have been great with no problems for me. After a upgrade of his rom i re-flash the PA gapps without any modifications. If i was useing Art before flash it is still in Art. When i change to Delvick the change is without any problems.I test each build with both Art and Delvick and have found No clear winner. Without checking i would be unable to tell which one is in use. If you download gapps to your computer and unzip it you can then modify what you want rezip and install onto your Nook. I tried Xposed framework once and with it installed you will not be able to use Art. If you try it will restart in Delvick. I uninstalled Xposed but was unable to switch to Art until i did a re flash of the rom i was using. Repeating what i said earlier I have found for me the best most stable KitKat build for My HD+ is one any of the builds by Succulent. Hope some of this cane be of use
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sany:
Got ART working now!

Just to update here, could be useful for someone if they come across a similar issue.

I did two things here, not sure which one fixed this issue. I tried to start from a more stable version (though within nightly build), so went back to 30th March build and flashed it.

Secondly, did not use the Google Stock PA Gapp instead went for the basic package which is called the modular package(approx 80 mb) as I decided to install any other apps from Google stable if at all I require later.

Before I flashed, I went into CWM>mount & storage>format>data/storage/cache - following which I flashed the above. Bingo, after installation went into about tablet, enabled developer options>enabled ART for runtime. Rebooted. No issues this time.

However, because of the change in GAPP package I need to clear a few unwanted apps that got installed in the process, I am having the stock android browser which I want to get rid of as I separately installed Chrome browser. Also, I want to remove the Trebuchet Launcher as I also have Google Now launcher as well. Please advice, how to remove these two apps, no issues keeping them but thought of removing them.
