To be honest I rarely leave mine on overnight, but just wondered do you use any battery saving techniques to achieve low consumption. Juicedefender, wifi off while asleep etc?

Cheers :)

kitkat

Does anyone know why an apk - IBMTraveler does not work on the EMMC versions of kitkat?

Had the same issue with jellybean.

I need to use this. It installs fine but on the last portion of the setup gives an error 500? It seems to be a nook specific error.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] RYARNI:
Would need an account to check with mine, alternatively you could install logcat to see if an error shows up at the time it closes.

[MENTION=3654172]verygreen[/MENTION] This build is already so good I'm not gonna update ever again ;). Thanks.

I was wondering if you might consider giving the kernel a bit of tweak now, one or two governor options on the performance side, CPU & GPU OC maybe? I know you had previously ruled out OC because of the lack of noticeable performance gain and battery concerns in your experiments. Do you have any plans to give it another shot?

I know X-mas is over, but do we get a USB-host back, maybe with option to mount ext2/3 and powerfix?

That would be great!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] extrem0:
USB Host is working. Don't know about ext2/3 formats.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2307585&page=12

What do you mean by powerfix?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] starbright_:
I know this extra App, What I mean is a tile in Control Bar - so an inclusion into standard CM11, as it was in the beginning of CM10.2.

With powerfix I mean an extra switch to enable power hungry devices (as 2,5" HDD) to be connected to USB host.

This is also explained in that thread you mentioned.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
Thank you verygreen for a very smooth Kit Kat ROM for our Nooks. I am running your build of January 9 on my HD, and everything seems to be running very well with one exception -- it cannot write to the external sd card. There is no problem reading files on the external card, or even copying them to internal. I just can't delete anything on the external card from within the HD, and many apps trying to write to it throw up an error.

Someone mentioned wi-fi not re-establishing itself after being killed when the screen goes off, but my nook has no problems with this. It comes back on by itself as reliably as it did on stock. It is automated by Llama. Maybe it was fixed in the latest build? I just tested it today.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dononeil:
Today's nightly 3/13 gets stuck at the boot animation for me. I tried re-flashing but ultimately went back to the 3/12 nightly to get it to boot. I haven't had any major problems with the 3/12, but I think I'll hold off on future nightlies for a few days while they fix the build issue.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] NishantM:
Same here.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Wish I had checked this before I flashed it. I flashed with CM Updater this morning and while it was booting, put the HD+ in my bag. Now, of course, it's dead. Clearly it got stuck booting and killed the batt.

Stinks!

Welp, on that note, does anyone know where the CM Updater keeps the files it downloads so I can re-flash an older one?

When i used my nook tonight the WiFi was off. When I attempted to turn it on it would not see any signal. I rebooted my nook and WiFi was back. Anyone else get this? I'm on 7th march build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
Because when I try to play a video I get a black screen until I switch to software
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
I found this usually happens to me (on both CM10.x and CM11) when the HD+ is charging or has just gone off charging.

My HD+ has been on the M4 build since its release, so far so good, no problem whatsoever (knock on wood :)).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] huntz:
I'm using the M4 snapshot and for me it is extremely stable. Nice battery life and no crash or reboot.

Here some details about the files I'm using:

MD5 (cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-ovation.zip) = defe19e5c89db83a47653e7380b9ac01

MD5 (2-7_GApps_Core_4.4.2_signed.zip) = a6b1a8a51a6d5eb1b81aa976f135a730

MD5 (cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip) = dba625108e4fd8e9b1f77708c9482b46

I have reached a very good stability from the day I have started using 2-7_GApps_Core_4.4.2_signed.zip (also with recent nightlies)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
i had screen & battery issues with 3/13 so i installed 3/11 last night & it seems to be working fine. no more upgrades for me unless it's lime pie or what ever they gonna call it.

by the way does anyone knows why sixaxis is not working on nook hd ? i have followed all the guides i could find via google but to no success. bluetooth must be screwed in CM11 or something.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
I think the key is to not have been upgrading to the m4 from a recent nightly. M4 was awful for those of us who had week old nightlies before.

I am back on the 3/10. Any word on what caused the boot loop on 3/13 so we can keep an eye on the changelog for a fix? Paging Dr Verygreen :)

BTW the 3/10 is super stable and everything works great so far. I haven't tried hw accelerated video yet tho.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] spd_rcr:
I didn't think the Nook had bluetooth, guess I'll be using my HD+ as a giant viewfinder now as well :)

I'm running pretty much the same, except with GApps Minimal 4.4.2 signed = cf69344114519761add208211aa65299

Seems to be one of the better builds I've used so far.

I need to make sure video is working before heading off on vacation. Let us know how it's working if you get a chance. I just snagged a copy of that ROM before it rolls off the nightly downloads list.

As much as I'd like to complain about the little glitches and occasional crashes with the nightly CM builds, it just takes one visit to a B&N store to fiddle with the stock tablets to remember what an awesome upgrade this is. B&N ought to just hand off the software side to CM and ship the tablet with their wallpaper and reader apps installed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] drmarble:
The bootloops in 3-13 were caused by a change in frameworks/av. It has been fixed but not before the nightlies got build. This is the risk of nigtlies. Sometimes the cutting edge is a bit to sharp (and buggy). The next nightly should be fine, but no guarantees.

And, if you are on a recent nightly, don't flash the M release without a factory reset. CM does upgrades well with flashing but it doesn't do downgrades nicely. The M release if basically a nightly from arount March 1st.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] NishantM:
No bootloops on the latest nightly i.e. 3/14.

Edit:

Getting 'android.process.acore has stopped' error, back to 3/12 :(
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] webdroidmt:
For "process acore has stopped", just clear cache and data for contacts storage in apps and it will go away.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Whyzor:
If you're looking at the nightly build changelog from http://www.cmxlog.com/11/ovation/ click on the specific change, then unified diff. It shows as just a README documentation update to say CM11 instead of CM10. Exciting eh?

When I leave my Nook HD+ overnight I find that the wireless stops working. Its on but can't find a network. To fix it I need to reboot the device. Its then OK until I leave it overnight. Anyone else get this? I'm on the March 7th build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
CM11 is great but shame my ps3 controller wont connect to my nook HD tablet via blue tooth or even usb cable sad as this 7 inch tablet is a decent performer,it runs gta,assassins creed,colin mcrae rally just fine & crazy taxi sequel is out this year so would love it if CM11 dev can fix the blue tooth issue. some people say the controller works on stock 2.1.1 firmware but i wont move from CM11 to CM10 let alone to nook's own OS.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Odenknight:
For those that are grumbling about the BlueTooth not working with older devices/controllers (Wii remotes for example), the issue is with the bluetooth stack for Adroid 4.2 and beyond. While I am not well versed on the issue to explain it properly, it's something to do with adopting a new coding protocol or abandoning an older one that worked with devices like the Wii Remotes, ect. Stinks for those of us who have the older devices (like myself), but all of my newer BT devices work without issues.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Could you maybe reupload the 3/10 Nightly please? You said it is stable but it isn't available for download anymore ...

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
I have nowhere to put it. I am sure a later nightly is also stable.

Speaking of which, I just upgraded to last night's nightly, and the boot loop is gone. OTOH, it did inexplicably just shut down on me, cause unknown just yet. Not sure it's the most stable just yet, but I'll give it the day before passing judgment.

The build I was running last week was solid as a rock, I think that was the 3/10.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pdx1138:
it should work if you get a gender changer for the nook cable and plug the ps3 controller in to a hub

it worked in CM 10.x but I didn't like being physically connected so got another blue tooth controller.

you have to plug the gender changer into a usb hub, then plug the ps3 controller to the hub

and enable USB host control on the Nook. Look in the thread by VeryGreen about CM 10x,

the instructions on the first page.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
thanks but i too prefer blue tooth connection,which blue tooth controller did you buy ? and does it work on all games that support controller ?

i'm thinking about buying a Moga Pro but it's expensive for an android controller.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pdx1138:
I bought the original Moga and was very unimpressed and returned it.

Very happy with the GameStop "Red Samurai" blue tooth controller.

it's like the ps3 controller in shape and feel. Works with every game I've

tried so far.

It has a button for keyboard or game mode, so you can customize it.

no app required to make it work.

turn on blue tooth and it pairs.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:
I'm having the same problem with wifi disconnecting on sleep, and needing to by cycled on wake. Latest nightly. Any solution?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
shame the red samurai controller is only available in the US,thanks for the reply though :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
working fine for me. try maybe "forget" the network and re-add it. That helped when we had this issue before.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
Do you have "Keep WiFi on During Sleep" set to "Always"?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
FWIW this is not necessary. I have mine set to "Only when plugged", works just fine.

BTW, I haven't combed the changelogs to determine what could be happening, but going from the 0310 to the 0317 nightly has made a HUGE improvement in battery life. Normally I see almost exactly 10%/hr drain when reading (screen on). I plot this only because it's the most consistent activity I do. Last night I noticed 1:30 of screen-on reading only drained 9% battery, so that's about 6% per hour, nearly double the battery life. At this rate it looks like my HD+ will perform similarly to my NC on CM7. That's a tall order!

Quick question im new to nook HD plus but not new to XDA and flashing devices..ect

I initially flashed cm11 and CWM 6.0.3.6 from SD to EEMC but now when i try to flash any CM11 nightly ROMS from internal SD i get error 7. CM10 ROMS are fine. From what i gathered I am i supposed to flash kitkat roms from external SD is this correct? ... really weird
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] SUOrangeman:
Been a while, sdcard update?

I haven't been paying attention, but is there a means for creating an update for sdcard installs? The first post suggests that the sdcard image may not have been updates in two months.

-SUO
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
They need to be manually created by verygreen. He has not updated since January.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
I think the KK(CM11) will only install on CWM 6.0.4.6 or later

Edit** From the OP:

The install is a lot similar to how it was done in CM10.2 days, but you will need a new recovery image (and a new sdcard image for those doing initial install):

So, For Nook HD+: Initial ovation sdcard image (cwm) | ovation recovery image (CWM)

For Nook HD: hummingbird Initial sdcard image | hummingbird recovery image (CWM)

Im stupid i thought i flashed latest CWM just flashed cwm-recovery-ovation-6 all set now thanks for heads up :)

HW Video decoding broken?

I just joined on the nightly 0310 build, not sure how long the HW video decoding hasn't been working? In MX Player the H/W+ decoder usually works smoothly on most devices in most formats, but the HD+ is choppy. Since the OP doesn't mention this, does anyone know when it broke? This commit today seems related:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/61260

which suggested it broke around Feb. 9th.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Seems I am the only one talking on this forum :) I tried watching a whole movie with BS Player and HW decoding last night and it was not what I'd call "choppy" but it was not smooth and there were lip sync issues. I switched to the SW decoder and it worked great.

And BTW again, I watched an entire 2 hr movie (local storage) and used just over 10% battery. That's really remarkable.

Also on the 0317 nightly the screen flashing with charging cable connected is far worse than before. Basically, HD+ is unusable when plugged in. This is the same with or without Force GPU Rendering.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
I had it break completely a while back, but I'm running the 3/17 build right now and it seems to be working fine for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rixxie:
Hi,

i am on 3/18 since today. Yesterday was on 3/17. In both cases i have also the screen flashing while charging after the installation. In both cases i wiped the dalvik and the cache and it helped- no more screen flashing.

Both versions are very smooth and fast for me.

But my problem is that the WiFi do not turn off when the device go in stand-by.

Someone also with the same WiFi problem?

Thx

Well. After a year of lazing around with this account, I finally picked my lazy self up and made 10 (intelligent) posts to be able to post in development forums and I'm happy~

Before questions start from me, I'd like to thank you verygreen for all his hard work. When I put down the Dell Streak 7 and went to search for a new tablet, I found the NookHD+ at a very beautiful price and I was like "well, why not?." After buying, I had one place to go to. And you guessed it! XDA. Tons of ROMs and guides for this guy. From brilliant developers too. I learned about EMMC and all that. And then I decided to hit on VG's CM11 and I gotta say, it's awesome! <3

Anyways, this is a development thread and I can't fool around so here goes.

First question!

Why hasn't there been a new nightly for the HD+ in the last two days? The fixes keep piling up but never get released.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
I'm sure someone smarter than me will correct me, but I believe the nightly builds are automated and if something breaks in the build process then no build will result. It's not a guarantee there will be one every night.

And BTW if you really comb through the changelog, you will find that the "fixes" often get backed out, which is the ebb and flow of software development. So the nightlies have the risk always of introducing a new "fix" that breaks other things which later needs to be reverted or refined.

Personally I tend to read the changelog and get new nightlies when I see there is one which is last in a line of two or three with very little changes, and following one with lots of reverted changes. I think that signals some testing has followed changes. But I am reading the tea leaves here, but it follows the pattern that I see in my professional life for the past couple of decades in this field.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] NMGxda:
Stagefright?

I followed a tutorial on how to get boot animations with sounds, but the code they use utilizes stagefright in /system/bin, and I don't have it. I saw somthing about "binstagefright" (I assumed the "bin" was there because it was in /system/bin) in the changelog for an update, and the wording suggested that it had been accidentally deleted and they were bringing it back. I installed the update and it didn't come back. Was it there in the first place?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JimJ2Mz:
Wow. Thank you for these tips.

This long into the game and I didn't figure out these simple steps. -.-

Btw. where's verygreen nowadays?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Example of my nightly upgrade plan, the 0318 would be a good candidate (that's what I'm running). The 0318 only has a few fixes, and the 0317 also just has a few. But the 0316 has a TON including a lot of "Revert...". So it looks like the changes from the 0316, numerous as they were, settled for a couple of days without prompting a bunch of reverts, so there's a chance the 0318 is more stable.

On the other hand, the 0321 has a TON of changes to it, and that's why I am not going to go to it until a day or two worth of nightlies with little movement have happened to ensure this large number of changes didn't prompt immediate reverts. There was no 0319 or 0320 FWIW.

This is hackish with a ton of assumptions and of course every nightly potentially has a killer bug that will make it fail to boot even if there is only one change, but by and large I find I avoid big problems when I follow this template and when I don't follow it I am far more likely to wind up in a boot loop or being sorry I upgraded too hastily.

In the absence of any -stable releases, this is how I hedge.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JimJ2Mz:
Whoops.

Well looks like I might've goofed.

Just updated to 03/21 today.

Because I was too hasty.

Nothing bad.

I feel as if the game I usually play is less responsive and more laggy (Asphalt 8) or it's placebo.

But 3/18. Maybe I should go back.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
well, no problem if it's working for you. In my mind there may be less risk with the 0318 but really I have no qualitative reason to believe it. Certainly the 0321 has lots of stuff in it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JimJ2Mz:
Hm. Yeah.

Also on an unrelated side note, PA gapps are ART compatible right?

Just kind of making sure before I switch to ART.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ccheung:
I'm using M4. I have problem with using Flixster app to stream UV movie. It said the device is not compatible for streaming. Is there any solution?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JimJ2Mz:
Oh yeah, 72, are you using any addons/mods/scripts to speed up your device?

And uh. There's this advanced setting in WIFI named "Scanning always available." Do you have that on or.

CM11-3/17

I've been running for a number of days now on the 317 nightly without problems. One thing I did learn was after several weeks of nightlys without a data wipe my nook became hit and miss unstable (mostly hit). The biggest problem I had was that when rebooting many off my apps would immediately stop and some of my widgets would not load. Once I cleared the Stops buy checking OK and deleted the widgets and replaced them I would run fairly well until I needed to reboot. With a data wipe and loading the 317 nightly I've not had any problems. Rarely have I had a need to reboot and when I have the reboot has been quick and without problems. I am running using Davlik, I've not checked to see how Art performs. For now I'm not planning to update until something significant happens or a release candidate comes along.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] xflier:
Just updated to 3/23 nightly, seems more stable. Antutu got 13545.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] snoozer854:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but when you say data wipe, what does that involve?

I have noticed lately on start up my widgets take a very long time to load.

Everything else seems fine.

Thanks

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
"wipe /data" (in CWM recovery) entails reformatting the /data partition of the Nook which holds your downloaded apps and their data. If this is done during installation of a new ROM build and Google Backup/Restore service had previously been enabled, apps previously downloaded from Google Playstore should automatically get re-downloaded (but any personal settings will still need to be manually restored).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] cullenmq1:
I installed first the m4 and then the latest nightly and I am having some lag issues. It seems that the os is using around 700mb leaving only 200mb free (when no apps are running). Any suggestions? Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] xflier:
I would suggest try 3/23 nightly, it is very smooth. Right after reboot, checked settings/apps/running, it has 470m free. I guess memory usage is dependent on the installed apps. I use ART runtime though.
