I've now gone back to the 1/18 (I always forget that nightlies are dated the American way) unofficial, the 3/2 nightly keeps turning off and on the screen, and if I use it with the 1/10 kernel I get very frequent spontaneous reboots. The 2/2 nightly didn't turn the screen off, but after a couple of suspends it wouldn't turn on properly; on turning on the screen would look like a badly tuned TV set, lots of static and distorted image, like white text on a black screen, but extremely distorted and moving.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] LucaToo:
Screen image

Got an interesting one: Have tried most of the nightlies but gone back to 01/18 unofficial.

However I now have the strange occurrence that whenever an app closes an image (the same image every time) from my gallery flashes on screen.

I am using LMT pie controls so there may be some link to that.

Not sure if I have accidentally changed a settuing somewhere but - any ideas..?

Fixed (somehow) by changing colour of pie controls..!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kdejong2012:
Been using 1/19 nightly with 1/10 kernel (downloaded from your dropbox link) for last few days. I still get screen flicker occasionally. It happened last night. Screen flickers, acts like Nook is about to reboot, but then recovers. Only happens occasionally and I'll live with this setup until Verygreen releases next "unofficial" rom. Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] spd_rcr:
I found a fix for my game/video crashes, had to add a libc.so file, works beautifully. Also replaced Tre-bucket with Nova launcher.

How much memory u guys left after installing cm?

I have about 1.7gb left after installing on nook hd 8gb.

Is this normal?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JeauxAdam:
I don't believe the amount of free space will change based on the ROM. The system partition is set to whatever it is from the manufacturer and won't grow/shrink based on ROM installed, unless done manually, which I'm told can be a bit dodgy.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
That is not normal. You probably have some old media files that did not get cleared from running stock or making backups with CWM. A factory reset with CWM does not clear those. Use your root file manager to go to /data/media and delete everything there except the files in the 0 folder.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] NishantM:
Stumbled upon a bug, just putting it here.

Let the screen go off on it's own as per your screen off time.

Press the power button to turn on the screen.

You will see the crt off animation instead and the screen going off.

You have to press the power button again to turn the screen on.

This also happens when the crt animation is off. The only difference is you have to press the power button twice to turn the screen on.

This doesn't happen if we press the nook button to turn the screen on.

Known bug? Or is it normal?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bxlegend:
It's actually part of the firmware and not a bug. Screen fades to black before actually shutting off.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] :
auto screen off (check), press power button (check)... nope. Screen turns on fine. No screen off animation and no second press.

cm11 feb 4th build.

Addition: Do not use feb 5th build if you use stock cm launcher. (app drawer causes crash)

feb 4th build is decent enough. (google bar cannot be removed from stock launcher)

This is understandable as they began to implement trebuchet launcher.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] NishantM:
It's now working. Strange!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RYARNI:
Also, check you CWM back ups, these can be quite large.

CWM > Back and Restore > Delete, something like that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] adwait.bhandari:
The tablet has become completely useless. It keeps force shutting down when watching videos downloaded from YouTube whether using SW or HW decoder. The problem is completely non existent for a couple of days after doing a fresh install but after a week or so I can play videos only 1 times out of 10 if I'm lucky. The tablet keeps force shutting down. Clearing cache also doesn't seem to fix this. I've used MX player as well as VLC but with no avail. I'm using a recent CM11 nightly but got the same problem with almost all builds.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Try CM10.2 stable, it is as snappy as the CM11, but bug free and super reliable.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
Try a different MicroSD card or run without one and see what happens.

You might try fixing permissions using Nandroid Manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore

Another thing you might do, which is not that time consuming, it to do a backup in Recovery. Wipe system, data and cache. Format /system. Flash the rom. Boot into system and don't do anything for 10 minutes. Boot into recovery, do an advanced restore of just /data. Then see what happens.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Bossk128:
In my experience 10.1 and 10.2 were both slow as treacle before I installed 11. I'm really happy now with my Nook. I use it as a tablet as well as a video player.

Amazing ROM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Folks, I just installed rom toolbox and changed lcd density to 280 (up from 240). Apart from everything being bigger, scrolling and general smoothness seems to have improved a lot to me, am I imagining things or this actually decreases the gpu workload by virtually lowering the ppi?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
I agree that CM11 is slightly faster and snappier, BUT I at least have had problems like random reboots, screen flicker and so on. The CM10.2 stable release IS faster than the CM10.2 Nightlies. And it does not have those problems.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Well the cm 10.1.3 is much faster and more stable than 10.2. But so far for me cm 11 is faster and no serious problems.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Bossk128:
True, there are lots of reports of problems with CM11. I had screen flicker (only after sleeping overnight) until I switched off 16 bit transparency. I spontaneously get told Google sound has stopped working. I see no other bugs or even symptoms of the bugs I have.

Perhaps there was a problem with my CM10 (. 1 and. 2), it was pretty bad compared to now. Still better than sick though. :D
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jbbandos:
Went to the 0206 nightly from the 0118 unofficial, and seems stable now. Ah, also found out that having less than 3GB free on the internal 32GB means the nook becomes slow as molasses, with the screen flashing on and off slowly, apparently while it is trying to access the emmc. Out went "The cave" (not working well here, anyway) and "Bard's tale", ran lagfix (fstrim) and now it is working well again.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] gamerka:
Someone please tell me, does Real Racing 3 works on last nightlies?

Also now on 01/18 I have lags in Worms 2.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] nimaim:
All I can say is I'm been on 1/18 unofficial since it's been out and have NO issues (runs TRIM for me whenever I have it charging and sleeps when it's supposed to). I even sold my iPad Air (which is great in its own right, but terribly overpriced) because I use my HD+ all the time (which gets better battery life, especially with something like DS battery saver pro). Plus I don't mind being rough with it since it was ~$100. I use Plex on it daily as well as Dish Anywhere to watch TV on the go. Other than those apps, I use Gmail and Chrome a lot and everything works flawlessly. I probably won't flash anything on top of it again until CM11 stable is out. My biggest problem with Android tablets was always the lag and slow redrawing compared to the iPads but I have no issues with those running Nova Launcher.

For the record, no I don't play any games or do any CPU/GPU intensive tasks. If I did, I would have bought something more powerful (or better yet, kept the iPad which is more suited towards games and intensive activities due to the powerful processor, which is overkill for me). This has very limited HW (which is why it's so inexpensive) and is not really suited towards that, though it can run the occasional game or two just fine.

For those who are having problems, instead of *****ing (some of you, not all), I suggest posting logcats of your issues so VG can look into them when he has time to. Also, I suggest wiping the whole device and starting from scratch with 1/18 unofficial and the slimmest gapps you can find to minimize errors. I use the core version here by banks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
My experience echos your entirely. I sold Ipad2, not Air, and use Nova Launcher as well.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Bossk128:
Is Nova higher performance than default CM11 launcher?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] js365:
I play RR3 on 02/06 build and no problem so far.

But I turn the vol off, on HD+, graphic is good but audio is always broken......
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] nimaim:
Yes, I found the CM11 launcher to be buggy and not very customizable. Nova is proven and fast.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Bossk128:
I'll give it a shot. I already have the pro version for my phone.

I just couldn't be bothered testing, lazy git :p
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] :
I'm not starting something here so don't take it wrong...

2/7 appears to be fine and should be better than 1/18 as a lot has been added and fixed since then.

To say you have NO issues with 1/18 is like saying I have NO problems with that car's broken passenger door handle cause I don't use it anyway and therefore no problems.

There's a lot of cm code to be added to cm11. Its still broken in spots and missing stuff. And more problems may occur.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] nimaim:
Well yes, obviously ... that's why I stated what I use my tablet for (and again, for my uses, it works perfectly). My post was more to balance out all the negative comments in here saying nothing works. That's also totally inaccurate and a huge disservice to VG who made our Nooks very useable again. CM11 is still very much in beta (on EVERY device, not only for the HD+), I think everyone knows that, but most of the major stuff has been ironed out; there will be more and more bug fixes until the stable is out, which will take a while. And my further point was, if you have problems, provide some more info so developers can look into it. Also, those expecting the tablet to run like a powerhouse and render very GPU intensive games with no issues should realize the HD+ is a ~$100-$150 ish device with limited HW (a SINGLE core 1.5 ghz OMAP 4470 and a SGX545 GPU are nothing to boast about and pretty outdated now).

I have an S3 with CM11 on it and that is significantly more buggy than my HD+ with CM11 (not a fair comparison as it's a phone vs. tablet, but just trying to prove a point). Anyway, I'm sure everyone's issue will slowly be ironed out but for most uses (browsing, listening to music, streaming videos, etc.), I've found that the tablet works great. And if you are flashing a nightly, know that it is even more of a beta as they generally implement patches that were just recently submitted but not thoroughly tested.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Strange, I have had issues with Nova on CM11. When I e.g. go to the App Drawer, THEN go back to homescreen and scroll through the homescreen pages, then I have lag.

When I open an App (like Instagram), then go back to homescreen and scroll - NO LAG.

Anyone else experiencing something like that?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] nimaim:
Nop, here is my setup though: I have 3 homescreens, animations in nova set to fast, animation scales set to .5x in developer options, and running ART (with BaNKs gapps). Make sure TRIM runs for you from time-to-time (plug it in the charger overnight and it should). I don't have many widgets on my HD+ so I don't experience any lag, but my S3 lags a little since I have a lot of stuff on the homescreens.

BTW, I hardly ever open the app drawer, I have app groups set up on my homescreen (Games, Productivity, etc. kind of how Apple does it). More of a workaround if it keeps happening for you, but I cannot reproduce this.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Ghostal:
The OMAP 4470 is dual core. You shouldn't consider the HD+ a $100-$150 device, that's a highly discounted price. I think it's fair to expect good performance from it and it does perform well.

Don't use terms like outdated. An i7-2600k is much older than an Celeron g1820. I certainly wouldn't consider the 2600k outdated even though it's 3 years older than the g1820. There are plenty of current tablets and smartphones that perform worse than an OMAP 4470.

I have been playing with this rom on an HD and it seems super snappy. Yeah my Galaxy S4 benches much faster but honestly for most of the stuff I do, email, currents, movies, apps, web browsing, I can't tell the difference. I don't play 3d games on my tabs or phone, but games like fruit ninja are the same.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] nimaim:
You're correct, it is a dual core, my mistake, not sure why I thought that. Anyway, it depends on your definition of terms like outdated. For many, the iPhone 5 is outdated because the 5S is out. Likewise, the HD+ is outdated for some because quad core tablets are out that perform "better", better being a relative term (whether that means faster, better CPU or GPU, better res. screen like the retina, etc. is all in the eye of the beholder). I don't consider any of my stuff outdated because they do what I need and I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon.

And not to sound defensive, but the 16GB HD+ has been in the $100-$150 range a LOT in the past year, but I agree if you paid more, you would want more bang for your buck. At the same time, no one is obliged to provide ROMs for us and we should be appreciative for what we have. And if you're okay with used (virtually all the Nooks these days are selling as recertified or certified preowned anyway), you can get it for $125 ish on Ebay. It's the 32GB that are more in the $175-$200 range.

And yes, agreed, plenty of tablets/smartphones perform worse (significantly worse actually since many don't support CM) than the HD+. That's why I take benchmarks with a grain of salt and prefer real world experiences.

Anyway enough blabbing on from me. To get back on topic, I've had the most success with the 1/18 unofficial build; while that's not perfect for everyone, the recent nightlies breaks stability even more, which I consider essential using it daily.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
My bad! The culprit was dashclock widget on the second homescreen. The constant widget redraw gave me the lag, I removed it and the lag is gone.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] razholio:
No, you're not mistaken. I've been setting my lcd density to 320 since the beginning and it's always been a bit smoother. I do it so none of the fonts are pixelated, though. A few apps have crazy large type now, but the smallest type looks much better.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jpisini:
What program are you using to change the dpi?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
rom toolbox.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Great! As for those few apps, you can use 'app setting module' to change the dpi/font, per app to correct the effect; of you're not using ART of course. Cheers
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] razholio:
I am using art at the moment, but that is good information to have. Is that an xposed module? Thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
It is part of an extension called Xposed Framework. Google it, it can be installed while using Dalvik. It has a lot of useful modules.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
Lol I think he knows what xposed is; he asked if it was an xposed module (which it is).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Yes, see the review by Chris Nacca here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hzu0dDgMXk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Sorry man, I accidently read "What is an xposed module". No hate. Just wanted to help

A left hand nav bar in landscape option was added to the 9/8 nightly.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/57454/

But it doesn't work with tablets and the next nightly will have the setting hidden for tablets.

This sort of option would be perfect on our nook HD+. Could you take a look into getting the option working for ovation? Thank you.

Upgrading to CM-11 from CM-10.2.20140110-Nightly

I downloaded cm-11-20140208-NIghtly and tried to install it on my Nook HD+ (emmc) which had CM-10.2.20140110-Nightly installed. The installation failed and when I reverted to CM-10.2.20140110-Nightly I am now constantly getting crashes ( and BTwifi app seems to have uninstalled itself!).

Is it possible to upgrade to CM11 by simply downloading and instaling a CM-11 nightly? If not what do I have to do and do I lose all my settings?

Very many thanks for your help
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
See the first post for instructions. You need a different recovery image first. And do a wipe dalvik and wipe cache. I installed over cm10.1.3 without wiping data and it works fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
I would absolutely not recommend doing a dirty flash from 10.2 to CM11. They are

very

different ROMS. It would most likely cause major glitches. I've never really been that happy when I've dirty flashed from on rev to another

As far as the install failure, did you install the updated CWM first?

Edit***

Be sure to follow this (from the OP)

For upgrades from CM10.x (the only tested are 10.2 and 10.1). If you have any problems after upgrade - you'll need to do factory reset to clear /data:

Download recovery zip and CM11 install and place it on the nook

Reboot into recovery you already have installed

Flash the recovery zip you just downloaded

reboot into recovery again (This is important! Failure to do this will botch your upgrade and you'll need to wipe /data) so that the new recovery is started.

Install CM11, install other stuff you need like gapps

reboot

enjoy
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] geraldcheyne:
Thanks. No I did not install the updated CMW first ( my nook hd+ had whatever I installed last year). The CM11 installation aborted but something must have been changed as my Nook is now crashing occasionally with CM10.2 and oddly BTwifi uninstalled. Do I have to reset my Nook or is it OK to proceed as you set out below.

Can you give me links to download recovery zip and CM11 and can I install them directly on emmc or do I have to use an SD card?

Very many thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
Not too sure why the BTwifi uninstalled, your CM11 install failed so nothing should've been installed. My guess is something happened with your backup/restore of your 10.2 install

All of the DL's are in the OP. Honestly, I'd spend a min or 2 reading the OP, and then reading it again before doing anything.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] geraldcheyne:
Thanks very much for such spontaneous help! I have reread the instructions which I think I understand other than "Flash the recovery". My recovery page shows EMMC CWM- based recovery v6.0.3.2. There are options to install zip, wipe data, wipe cache, backup and restore, mounts and storage, advanced but no option to flash. Very grateful if you can advise how I flash the recovery using the Recovery page options?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] walther1337:
Grab the recovery image from OP(the link next to the initial sdcard images. Make sure you grab the right file), put it on your sdcard, boot into recovery, and install the zip. Then reboot into recovery to flash cm11 and gapps.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
It appears that his CWM needs to be flashed. So I would DL the CWM for your device and copy it to your device, reboot into Recovery, and install it like any other flashable item(ROMS/gaaps)

edit*** Make sure you are getting the correct files for your device HD vs HD+
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] geraldcheyne:
Thanks very much.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tomlang:
I have been happily using the 10.2 night lies until they stopped coming, so thought I would give 11 a try.

I followed the directions, flashing the ovation recovery and rebooting, then doing a backup and restore to make sure I had not burned any bridges. I flashed the nightly image and 4.4.2 gapps, wiped cache and dalvik, and rebooted.

All looked good until I tried to pick an app to run. Got no list, just a spinner that never went away.

So I wiped data and dal ink and tried again. Again all looked good until I opened google play. Again, a spinner when it should have shown a list of my apps to download.

As a last resort, I flashed a titanium update image and got my apps loaded ( without data). Kinda worked, even play worked, but very sluggish. I am babka to the last 10.2 nightly for a while.

:(
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tuffluck:
Wonder why different folks with the same hardware have so many different problems... So far 10.2 has been the most reliable for me. Launcher was really buggy until I replaced with Nova.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tzlot:
I had the same issue - it seems the terms and condition window had not popped up. I cleared it from recents, tried again, and after agreeing it works perfectly....

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Is it possible to under clock the GPU? Using trickstermod and the stock kernel I can't move off 384... Mine gets a bit hot when gaming, but it pigs down if I under clock the CPU to 1300...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tomlang:
I tried installing again, this time clean. I even formatted the system. Play appears to be working properly. It got stuck while installing my long list of apps, but after a reboot, it is back on track.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dbh369:
I'm running 1/19, and still having issue of losing wifi password on reboot is that fixed yet?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:
Using 2-7-2014 nightly and bluetooth teathering with pdanet+ works (yea!). So far running smoothly and reliably for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] tzlot:
Use one of the newer builds (linked higher up the op) should be fixed...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
Which CWM?

I am currently running the latest CM11 nightlies on my HD and everything is running smoothly and stable -- as stable as stock ever was. But I thought that I should make a backup nevertheless. Is there a version of emmc CWM that works with CM11 and the nightlies and which would allow me to make a backup directly to the external card? I currently have CWM 6.0.4.6 installed. When I try to back up to the external card, it says it can't be mounted.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:
On page 5 (for me) post No 46, Verygreen attaches a link to CWM that works with external SD cards. This works for me for a nandroid backup to the SD card. I don't know whether (and if not why) he didn't update the links on the first page to that version of CWM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
Thanks. The one I have currently on my HD was downloaded and installed on January 8th. I compared that file to the one currently linked on the first page, and the file sizes and time stamps seem to be identical, so I just assumed that file had not been changed. I just downloaded the zip file on page 5 and the file sizes and time stamps are also the same. So now I'm a little confused. Perhaps verygreen updated the zip files without modifying file sizes and time stamps?

At any rate, I'll give the page 5 version a shot when I get a chance and let you know if it works.

One thing ... when you say it works for you making a "nandroid backup to the SD card" you mean the external one, right?
