So Far So Good

I updated from 10.1 yesterday to 11, build 20, and I've only experienced minor ISSUES. Nothing that would cause me to go back. My HD+ is more responsive than ever and the issues I've had in the past with extended Web browsing locking up my tablet and other problems appear to be gone.

The updating was easy and my data stayed intact. I have had a few non critical apps become unresponsive but it looks like that at least in some cases, that unistalling and then re-installing the app takes care of the problem.

I'm looking forward to the further maturing of the ROM.

GREAT WORK!

On my HD+ running SD-based 01/18 build, the internal storage does not show up in Windows Explorer when tablet is plugged in. Is there some setting to enable this?

Also, for the emmc build version, does the SD storage show up in Windows Explorer?

Problems

Hey there!

I'm having the following issues, and I'd love to solve them all!

1. Sometimes (10%) I can't unlock the screen it reactivates itself, and I can't access my tablet. Tried disabling it, but in that case the backlight comes up only for a half second, and goes blank afterwards... Only reboot helps...

2. WHen I charge the hd+ it does not always charge. Even if my battery is below 100% the green lights comes up, and I have to reconnect the charger 10-50 times to get the orange light. It is very annoying.

3. The tablet restarts unexpectedly. (rarely)

4. In the notification bar I saw some new updates on cyanogenmod, should I update? Can someone link the changelog?

Background info: It is a refurbished device, there is no chance on giving it back to BN, since I live in Europe. The boot starts with the nook white letters followed by the cyanoboot and than cyanogenmod animation.

Thank you in advance,

Tom

1. Do you use a magnetic cover? If yes, close it and reopen it. It's a known bug.

2. Do you use the official charger? Sometimes it takes time with the generic chargers.

3...sorry

4. here is the changelog for the HD+. Tha latest nightlies run very well.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mirktamas:
1. SOLVED

2. Yes, I use original charger, reconnecting is very irritating all the time.

4. This changelog is too much detailed for me. What changed since 01/18? Can I share the screen over wifi? (widi-samsung smart tv) Might be som multi-windows support? Can I flash it over, or do I have to reinstall everything?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
This is a known limitation of kit Kat. Use dolphin browser with a hack to enable flash.

Last couple of nightlies not working for me - have had to revert back to 17/02.

Reboot sticks at CyanogenMod logo.

Anyone else having the same problem..?

features from Note 3 oor Galaxy Tab to the Nook HD plus ?

First of all , I want to say thank you for this great rom ! I don't usually post on this forum , but after I did this upgrade to my Nook HD PLUS , I was very happy with the results. I would absolutely do it again! Thanks so much!

I have a few questions :)

Is there any way to get the Multi Window view like the note 3 or the Galaxy tab ? ( without installing Hallo and X Floating )

is there any way to get the features from the S Pen ? ( I am thinking about buying a Spen from Ebay )

is there any way to prevent the Nook HD Plus from turning on automatically when you connect the charger ?

is there any way to prevent the speaker from being loud ( Screeching noise :) )

I know I am asking too much , but now with this upgrade in my Nook HD plus , I feel like my Nook is Superman in steroids !

Thank you again for this great work .

Is there a way to under clock the GPU? I've tried trickstermod but settings won't stick... Even with CPU at 1100 it gets quite hot while gaming and I dont need the extra speed...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
Yes, it's ART choking on some of the Google Apps with the latest nightlies. I had the same problem, then switched to dalvik (after restoring a backup) and the new nightlies run fine. I hope they get it fixed so we can use ART again.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] p0k3y:
I had the issue flashing 2/22 nightly with ART, but 2/19 works fine. And so far it seems better than the 1/18 that I came from. For one thing, the bug with magnetic cover happens less. Time will tell though.

Art

Any performance difference switching back..?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Xyriin:
The nightly ART bug started with 2-21 for me...both the Nook HD+ and my G2. Hopefully the ART bugs get ironed out with it looking like Google making ART the default in the next Android version (which is expected to debut at I/O in a few months).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
I am curious why the referenced changelog has items that don't seem pertaining to the HD+, e.g., Camera2 related fixes.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
It has all changes upstream to CM11, not just for the HD+.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TeutonJon78:
Those are Samsung specific features and won't work on the Nooks.

Regarding a multiwindow, CM does not support that at all. One of the other ROMS (OmniROM I beleive, but not sure) is working on it. However, there is no OmniROM support for this device AFAIK.

Did 0224 version fix the ART? :p
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
I don't see anything in the last few days that have anything to do with ART. I don't even see much that has anything to do with the HD/HD+ http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#/ovation/next
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dealpapa1:
I think it is cm in general. I saw a few case with art not working. :D
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
Excuse a bit of a noob question.

On my Nook HD+ I've successfully installed 'cm-11-20140220-NIGHTLY-ovation' and enabling ART. So far so good!

Do I need to keep updating with the nightlies? If so do I just flash and retain previous setting.

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
You can do that, and it would be recommended except for the current ART bug that popped up after the 2/20 nightly (the one you are using).

IMHO I'd stick with the 2/20 if you are using ART, until they fix the ART bug. Watch this space and hopefully someone will report back which nightly has a fix. Not sure the 2/24 has it.

Alternately you could switch to Dalvik and then update to the most current nightly.

For my money I've been grabbing a new nightly about once a week, mostly when the change log shows a big bunch of stuff is fixed that I care about. Once a stable build happens, I'll get it and stick with it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] razholio:
I've seen that in the past. Try powering the tablet all the way off, and then power on.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
That's always good advice. But in this particular case, the op likely ran into the ART bug that has plagued the last few nightlies - as discussed in recent posts.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
Thanks for that. So as soon as ART bug is sorted all I do is flash the latest nightly without doing a data wipe and factory reset?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Yeah you can even use the CM updater to make it easy. Just upgrade with no settings changes, keep on trucking.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] insanespain:
Why is everyone obsessed with Art? It's still experimental.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
None of these words mean anything on their own, "experimental", "nightly", "stable", yadiyada. Unless you have a rationale for saying that. Running art on this end, and it's a lot smoother than dalvik with zero issues, so that's why!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
The device is much faster and more responsive with art. Jury is still out on battery but its no worse. Enough difference that I won't flash a new build until the art bug is fixed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] detonation:
Coming from CM10.3, did a full wipe and flashed the 2/22 build. System seemed slower and choppier overall, and my Play Books apps wouldn't work (launching any book caused a restart). Looks like I'll be reverting back to 10.3 until more stable builds of 11 come out.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Art bug was fixed in the 2/24 nightly. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/60044/ and detonation you should try it with art. Faster than cm10.1.3 and much faster than any cm10.2.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Xyriin:
Can confirm ART flashing issue was resolved with 2/24.

As for ART being experimental, so are nightlies. That said, I fully expect Google to announce the move to ART at the upcoming I/O.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dealpapa1:
confirm 0225 fixed ART flashing issue:fingers-crossed::p
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Yeah I posted my reply before from my HD+ running ART and the 2/25... so I am quite confident it is fixed.

Now, that doesn't mean all apps will work with ART. Maybe they won't. And there's still the "Unfortunately, Google Voice Search has stopped" issue, basically every time you wake the device and sometimes when you are using it. Sometimes other Google <xyz> apps will unfortunately have stopped as well, notably Google Voice. I am really surprised there hasn't been any attention to this issue. Perhaps it's truly a bug in Google's own code so it's outside the charter of CM to fix. But my daughter's fiancé has a Nexus 5 with non-CM KitKat and ART without this issue, so I would have to believe the fix can be found somewhere in the CM code base.

Man, I need to brush up on my C skills and begin contributing to the CM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] insanespain:
Zero issues? Doubtful. The next quote sums up why art isn't default. I just installed 2-25 with dalvik and I'm running smoothly. And all of my apps work.....
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Yeah, but IMHO, ART is the MAIN reason to go with CM11 vs. CM10.1.3.

CM10.1.3 is reasonably snappy/responsive and has ok battery life. CM10.2 and CM11 with Dalvik are very noticeably more sluggish. So if you can live with the spurious error messages that do not really affect performance, then there's a big upside to using CM11 with ART.

But it is entirely possible that some other app you depend on won't work with ART. That app vendor really should get on the stick about fixing it because I'm here to tell you, ART is the near future of Android.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] insanespain:
Unfortunately I doubt a lot of app devs even address it until Google makes art default. And I agree it's the future, but right now it's experimental and I guess I don't get the obsession. I don't think cm11 with delvik is sluggish, especially considering our hardware.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
It's quite sluggish compared with CM10.1.3 on the same hardware. ART makes up that difference and then some.

It's no obsession, it's just better, likely in all cases unless you have a specific app compatibility issue. FWIW I have found no app that worked with CM10.1 that does not work with ART/CM11 but I am not really a heavy app user. I use basically four apps 99% of the time and that's it.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

BTW, this site will allow you to check if the apps you need are compatible with ART.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
Great - thanks for the tip.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] insanespain:
This is all I get when using art. It was almost impossible to get it switched back with this popping up every second.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Yeah, I think you might have had the wrong gapps installed. You need the ART-compatible gapps.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] fabioc:
Just turn the Twerking mode off. Everyone knows that twerking is not ART.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] sz0pf1:
I've experienced significant performance improvements with the nightly builds with CM11- 20 and 24 over 10.1.3 with out using ART. Between the two though, the 20 nightly generated fewer errors than the 24 build; however, both worked well after clearing out the "Stopped working" error messages. It's now on to the 25 nightly. Even with the minor bugs, I can't see anyone going back to the pre-CM11 builds.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] insanespain:
Dang! How do I do that, is there an xposed module? ;)

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] procter:
flashed the 0226 nightly yesterday, looks like the automatic brightness is not working? Is that the known bug?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
The HD/HD+ does not have a light sensor, so yes it is known that auto bightness does not work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] js365:
HD/HD+ doesn't have the light sensor. It's not a bug. It just doesn't have the automatic brightness feature.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] detonation:
Wow what a pain it was to revert back to CM10. Couldn't flash any CM10 zip or older CWM/TWRP in the new CWM, had to create the bootable sd card again and flash them that way.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ibilln:
I like a status bar brightness slider above all auto-brightnesses, even on devices that have a sensor.

Wait - in this rom there is no status bar brightness slider. (Bad CM... Bad).

So you can install Gravity Box which will have you install the xposed framework before you use it. GB has an option to put a brightness slider on the status bar. Kewell! Other things... I wanted a screenshot button on my power menu. GB: Presto. Many many other tweaks. Rundown here.

I know this stuff and more has been said before - pardonnez moi - but thought maybe useful here.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
I, too, use and love GB. However, I should point out that adding Screenshot in your power menu is built into CM and you don't need GB for that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] therealMazingerz:
I am running CM11 on my two Nook HD+ (Feb-26th nightly, I updated both tablets last night).

Everything runs absolutely perfect (this is the best ROM I have ever used on any phone/tablet) with one exception :) I have a strange WIFI related issue with Minecraft PE (these are my kids' tablets). Minecraft PE allows you to share your world (multiplayer mode) with any other device running Minecraft PE on the same LAN. When I open a world with any other device (HP Touchpad, phone), all other devices in the LAN can find the game, even the two Nook HD+. However, when I start a world with a Nook HD+, no other device (the HP Touchpad, the phone, not even the other Nook HD+) can find it.

I wonder if anyone else has found this problem. I have never experienced this issue with any other device, only with the Nook HD+, and I had the same issue even with CM10. The problem disappeared in one of the early CM11 nightlies (sorry, I can't remember which specific nightly), but all other/recent nightlies have the same issue.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ibilln:
Hmmm. I must have accidentally touched the "don't show screenshot in power menu" button. I'll see if I can find it. Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
These CM 11 builds have had the status bar brightness slider included since the very beginning. It's great. I've been using it since day 1. No extra mods needed. Just check it off in settings.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
I beg you to tell me where that setting is. I am used to that feature from other ROMs on other devices, and I use GravityBox to get it on my Nexus 5. But I have NOT been able to find it in any CM version for HD+.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
You probably didn't accidentally do anything. It's not enabled by default. It's under "Buttons" settings (Buttons>Power Menu). Just check the box to enable it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asawi:
I'm not sure this is what you're asking for but in settings - interface -quick settings panel - tiles and layout you can add for example the brightness slider.

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

Ouch! That must have taken you almost 30 minutes if you hadn't kept the old files and had to download them again. What a pain. Seriously...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
Sorry, I should have included that in my original post. It's in Settings>Interface>Status Bar>Brightness Control. Put a check mark next to Brightness Control.

It's such a great feature. I use it all the time.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] NishantM:
Are your sure it's available on your Nook HD/HD+? Here's a screenshot of mine, there's no such setting here. Running 26th Feb Nightly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
Yes. See attached screenshot. Wow. Do you think it's just on the HD and not on the HD+? Why would that be? I'm on the nightlies and have been ever since verygreen started this thread. Currently also on 2-26.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asawi:
Nook HD running Feb 21 nightly.

Looks the same on my HD+, but I don't have it near me now.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asawi:
Removed after I made other instructions in later post
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
So, asawi, are you saying your HD and HD+ do or do not have the brightness control in the status bar? (your image doesn't show the right screen).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asawi:
I am saying no such thing. My image is to illustrated that the path "settings - interface -quick settings panel - tiles and layout" is available. I am not showing my notification panel since that is nobodys business but mine. I am telling people where they go to customize their own. I have had the brighness slider from day one on both the HD and HD+.

And to clarify: The image included in the post you qoute is to point out where the person that posted that screenshot (andr0idfreak) needs to tap.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
It wasn't clear when you posted your initial screenshot what you were trying to illustrate. I wasn't asking you to post your notification panel. I think everyone knows how to configure that. The big question was whether or not one had the brightness SLIDER adjustment option under Interface>Status Bar. I have it on my HD. Androidfreak does not on his HD+. We are both running 2-26 nightlies.

The image I posted was to show Androidfreak that I did have the brightness slider option under Interface>Status. He showed the same page in the post I was replying to and it did not have the option. I didn't post it to show where to tap.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asawi:
Well, I have now gone to get my HD+ since the settings layout is slightly different because of screen size. It turns out I was wrong on where to tap (that was a guess from looking at the screen shot), and I'll try to make it more clear (even though it's not that hard to figure out).

If your HD+ screen looks like in the screenshot "andr0idfreak" posted, tap on the highlighted "interface" in the left side panel and you will go back one step. DO NOT CLICK STATUS BAR . it's when you click "status bar" you get to that screen, and that is not the one we want!

Follow what was said before: Interface - quick settings panel - tiles and layout and then add and remove to your hearts content. For example the brightness slider.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

And by now I suppose we all realize that it's NOT actually the "same" page, but a sub-page after having tapped "Status bar" and all should be sorted out and well now. I hope.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
No, it is the same page. Only difference is his is for a HD+ and mine is for the HD. That's the point. We both showed Interface>Status Bar. Mine has the brightness slider adjustment option for the STATUS BAR (not the notification center). His does not have the option. We are both on the same nightlies.

I was editing my previous post so you didn't see it when you posted your latest reply, but the initial screenshot I showed was NOT meant to show how to get to the option. It was merely to show Androidfreak that the option existed on my device.

I also think you are confusing the brightness slider adjustment tile in the notification center with the brightness slider which appears ABOVE the status bar. They are two different things. You do not have to pull down the notification center to use the brightness slider adjustment ABOVE the status bar.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
There truly doesn't seem to be an option for the brightness SLIDER control, just a button that pops up another dialog with its own slider. At least that's true for the interface settings being discussed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asawi:
Close enough for me! Just one small "extra" tap (I tap (tap the status bar - tap the brighness symbol - there's your slider). But OK, if that's not good enough, then so be it...

(I did note in my very first reply on the subject that I wasn't sure what I pointed to was what was requested, and apperently it wasn't... <shrug> )
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] NishantM:
So I guess the brightness control via notification bar is available for the HD but not for HD+.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
It's not whether it's good enough. It's just not what the question was so that may explain the confusion.

My vote is to enable the slider directly. It's extremely useful on my phone, easy to adjust on the fly for conditions. It seems like a very small thing but in my experience it makes a big difference in usability.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
I find it strange that it's only on the HD. Maybe verygreen can explain why?.

I also have an HD+ by the way, but I've kept that one on rooted stock on purpose because of B&N content I want to keep that only works with stock. I noticed some lag on the HD+ but it was partially fixed by using the Apex launcher. Somehow that speeded up things. So for those still running stock on the HD+ and running into lag issues, you might want to try that. Also, I do not have to exit the Apex launcher to get to the stock B&N library or store. Shortcuts to those two in Apex handle that.
