[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] detonation:
I suppose it was mostly a pain due to issues on my end - I had to recreate the bootable sd card, and either my sd adaptor or usb card reader is flaky because it would randomly and frequently get write errors while creating the image and stop. Took about 10 tries before it made it all the way through without error.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
Thank you. I've looked there with every new CM ROM version I flashed, but unfortunately my HD+ doesn't have that setting -- as also posted by andr0idfreak.

And needless to say, the standard QuickSettings Brightness tile is what I am using now, but the slider would be so much more convenient -- particular when taking the tablet outside and you cannot even see the screen well enough to adjust its brightness.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
Sorry about that. Never would of thought a CM 11 option would be on the HD and not the HD+. Can’t think of a reason why that might be, so perhaps it’s just a simple oversight? In which case, someone may want to PM or email verygreen and let him know. If it is just an oversight, it seems it could be easily put back in. He might be too busy to monitor these threads very often and he has a few threads here.

It works perfectly on the HD. As I said, I’ve been using it since I installed CM 11, which is nearly 2 months now. Agree that it is so much more convenient than a slider in the notification center.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] procter:
Two questions regarding the my flash to CM11 (Nook HD+ with stock ROM, unrooted):

1. The bootable CWM image linked in this thread seems to be a small version image. after writing it on my 4G card, it basically unallocated 3G of the space, leaving itself being recognized as a 900 mb disk. Problem is there would be no sufficient space to put the stock rom backup on this sd card, so no all-in-one rescue card could be made. Is there a larger image like the one for CM10.1 that could use the entire 4G space?

2. In the recovery mode, I only found "wipe data+factory reset" option before flashing the CM11 ROM. After the flash, the internal sd card from the stock Nook is still there as sdcard0. When I use the built-in "file explorer" in CM11, it only displays that part of the card, and I could not go to parent directory to see for example my external SD card (64G plugged in). Did I miss anything? I thought the emmc flash would replacing the system files on the internal card, and also wipe out the "internal storage" part so that the same space would be used as "internal storage" for CM 11 ROM. Now basically I have two seperate internal storage, one is the original Nook HD's files etc, the other is for the CM rom.

Thanks a lot.

You are in status bar settings. Go up a level and you will find the quick setting panel.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
That will give you a button that will bring up a slider in a new dialog, but not an actual slider.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
No worries, you're good. I didn't realize this was device specific either, I thought CM had just taken it out.

I think you're right it's prolly a small fix. But I'll give verygreen some space to watch the thread and work on this when he has the time. The last thing we want is for him to get tired of maintaining this ROM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Ghostal:
I really like this ROM

I have many android devices, I have this on 2 nook HDs and an HD+ and it's simply the best ROM I have used on this or any other tablet. I also have a touchpad and a 1st Gen Nexus7. My nexus7 KK rom @ 1600mhz may score higher antutu/quadrant benchmarks but in actual use my little Nook HD feels faster/smoother, and is cleaner, less buggy.

It's been rock stable for me for a month, and I see no reason to upgrade. If only there was a kernel that allowed > 1500mhz overclock. But honestly I am not even sure it's even necessary. It would just be a matter of curiosity.

StatusBar brightness controll

StatusBar Brightness Control is intentionally disabled for tablets (e.g. ovation). It is enabled for phones (e.g. hummingbird). I don't know why this was done but I am sure that they have their reasons. Thus, the HD+ is not supposed to have status bar brightness control. It is a feature, not a bug. I'll ask some of the powers that be why this was done but I doubt it will be changed. I guess they did it because tablets have plenty of space for the brightness tile and widget. For phones, the widget is very small so using the status bar gives more space and thus finer control.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
Thank you for that explanation. Since the statusbar brightness slider is arguably even more useful for providing quick adjustment, without multiple taps, and when the screen is difficult to read, I think CM would do well to let users decide whether they want it on their tablets.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] procter:
Was on 0226 nightly, just found out that when adding google now widget, I got "not available in your country". My setting is US English and google now works find on my GS3. I did get rid of google+ though, don't know if it's related. Any thoughts?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] procter:
I double checked regarding question 2, actually when in CM rom, that nook original section was nowhere to be found. Tried with root explorer, all I have under /storage is emulated, sdcard0(internal storage for the CM ROM) and sdcard1(my external card). However, when I boot into recovery and choose flash zip from sdcard, it shows me the original Nook storage with all the folders and zips I put there before flashing to CM11.

So where is this really stored?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
The emulated sdcard is really at /data/media. That is where CWM stores its sdcard files and stock stores its media files. But starting with CM10 and up, CM implemented multi-user capability. That means each user is assigned a sub-folder in /data/media. User one gets /data/media/0 and user two gets /data/media/10, etc. So if you look in /data/media you will see the original stock media files and the CWM backup files and if you look in /data/media/0, you will see the CM user one media files. And the 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'format data' options in CWM only erase the files in /data and leave the files in /data/media intact. Then when you boot to CM you think the original stock media and CWM files are gone, but they are really still there, just one folder higher.

EDIT: And regarding your question 1, you can go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and use my 4GB version of the CWM SD image and it can be used to back up stock and flash verygreen's internal CWM made for CM11. Then take out the CWM SD and store it away for future use. Then you can use the internal CWM to flash the CM11 and gapps zips as described in the OP here.

not booting after upgrade

Hello,

I just installed the latest recovery image and CM11 nightly 20140301 and now rebooting the Nook HD+, it get stuck on the "cyanoboot universal bootloader" image and doesn't start Android.

What can I do?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Did you remember to 'wipe data/factory reset' with CWM before you rebooted?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] azpatterson3:
I would create a bootable cwm 6028 on sd and if you saved your backup flash that and start over or flash cm10.1 to internal and start again from there.

edit.. I'm guessing you can't get into cwm either.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
Creating Bootable Recovery SD card with Customized Partition Sizing

You can use a disk partition tool (such as MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition) to adjust the boot partition on the SD card to fill up the entire card.

Alternatively, you can simply create from scratch the bootable recovery SD card using the process below (which I used to create such a "all-in-one" SD card for backup & flashing).

[Caveat emptor: adopt/follow this guide at your own risk].

Use a disk partition tool (such as MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition) to create a Primary, FAT32 boot partition. Set the partition ID type for the boot partition to 0x0C FAT32 LBA and set its Active flag (otherwise the SDcard will not be bootable). Once this is done, the boot partition should appear as a (read/write accessible) drive under Windows.

Download the recovery disk image archive file (e.g., emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz) linked in the OP and use an archive file manager such as 7-zip to extract the .img file contained inside the archive file (e.g., emmc-cwm-early3.1.img).

Use the archive file manager to extract all the files from the .img file (just extracted from the previous step) and copy to them to the boot partition of the SD card:

first

MLO, then u-boot.bin, then the rest of the files (e.g., kernel, ramdisk.cwm, uImage).

If the card is used to host flashable zip files (e.g., CWM recovery, ROM, Gapps), copy them to the boot partition of the card.

Un-mount the card and it's now ready for use.

If the created SD card fails to boot, the two most common symptoms and their likely causes are:

The HD+ boots straight to stock -- most likely the boot partition's type and/or flag are not correctly set, or the HD+ cannot find the MLO in the boot partition (make sure that MLO is the very first file to be copied to the freshly made /boot partition (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46205400&postcount=96)).

If the HD+ consistently boots straight to stock in spite of a valid /boot partition and boot files, it's possible that the tablet is one of those HD+ units that have difficulty booting off SD cards, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2288688 for more info and potential remedies.

The HD+ screen stays dark for seemingly a long time then eventually boots to stock -- most likely the MLO or u-boot.bin are corrupted. I have had this happen to me a few times in the process of extracting them from archive zip files and also in ftp transfers between machines (need to use "binary" instead of "auto" mode). When in doubt, compare the exact size in bytes of the two copies of the files.

If you had art enabled then some builds did this.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ibilln:
Thanks for the above/latter post; quite useful. Have not tried the methods outlined, but it does discuss a very big issue with this thread. In fact, I'm uber-surprised there is not more discussion of the fact that the method outlined on the OP for installing CM can't work as stated due to the small size of the disk created by "For Nook HD+: Initial ovation sdcard image (cwm)".

What I did was boot using the sd card created by the above method. Then, while in the CWM that that card boots the device into, I adb-pushed the necessary files (flashable CWM, CM-11, gapps) to the internal memory of the stock Nook, then installed them using the still-running CWM, then booted up the device per the OP.

leapinlar of course is the ace of the base in explaining the vagaries of Nook-dom, and how to deal with them. He has an sd card image which is 4G big. I'm on a Mac and couldn't use that image because copying files to the bootable card after it had been created destroyed (probably) the bootable bit, or some such. Rather than flail around with that, I did the above.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] hd32:
My HD+ has a particularly erratic screen, and it benefitted from the 8x8 fuzz patch. I think the Verygreen's cm11 kernel only has the 5x3 fuzz patch.

What would I need to do in order to get the 8x8 fuzz?

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
Could you not have downloaded beforehand to the Nook the flashable files using browser & downloader (e.g., ES File manager)?

I use Windows and have had similar problems in adding/replacing non-boot files of many pre-made images, so I don't think the problem is unique to using the Mac OS.

Did not want to log in to Nook software and register etc. But, true, by the time I had tried A, B, ... M, in retrospect, that would have been easier.

Nice to know. With previous versions of verygreen's emmc software, previous Nooks, and previous Mac OS X versions, putting stuff on the SD boot card worked for me, so probably that's why the OP hasn't been changed. For me (and you!) adding files to the SD boot card doesn't work now.

Phooey. I get location on 10.2 but nothing on 11 via the same WiFi. Tried the old wireless on/off and airplane mode tricks without any luck.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dcahoe:
I normally leave location off, but thought I'd try it. I turned it on and loaded Google maps and hit the location button and it said it was waiting on location. I went to settings -> location and set the mode to battery saving (WiFi only) and went back to maps and hit location and it still said waiting for location. I waited another minute and hit it again and voila, it showed me right where I was, so it can work. To be fair, I was not at home but in a hotel with internet known to be somewhat spotty at best. So it probably would have worked without changing settings. I just didn't wait long enough.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Phibernaut:
Alright I'll load it back up for further location testing. Any word on PIE controls or updated TWRP?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] angelofmenoth:
If you go to Succulent's blog post about CM11 for HD+, he has a link for flashable TWRP 2.6.3.0 if you scroll down a bit. It's running just fine. It tries to mount data1 every time like an sd install, but that's nothing that matters. It is a proper emmc recovery.

Sorry I don't have a direct link for you.

8x8 fuzz kernel

Ask and it shall be given. If you are lucky and someone feels like it.

Here is a cm-11.0 kernel, totally stock except for the fuzz being set to 8x8.

https://app.box.com/s/rthz1qb4iwyaijrprjdw

If anyone wants to mirror this, feel free. My account got maxed out for a couple months last time I posted a kernel. I expect this will be less popular.

Hope this satisfies all of you with very bad touch screens. Don't expect regular updates. Mine works best with 3x5.

No HD (Hummingbird) version is planned since I haven't heard nearly as many complaings about their touchscreens. And, I don't have one to test on.

New working file uploaded. Link above points to the new one.

Netflix and HDMI

Not a major problem, but one that I have:

Netflix video will lag on a monitor. On the Nook the video and sound is fine. Is there a fix? Or is it just the video processing unable to handle two screens at once.

Is there a way to save power by turning off the screen with using the HDMI cable? Running both screens limits the useful battery life to less than three hours.

StatusBar brightness on HD+

To those folks who asked why status bar brightness control wasn't present I would like to say "Thank You!".

This was a bug in cyanogenmod. Nobody had noticed it. It was left over from cm-9 and cm-10.0 days when tablets didn't have status bars. Now, they do. I submitted a patch to cm to fix this and it was accepted today. From now on, all tablets will have the option to control brightness from the status bar. It was just an oversight that it hadn't been enabled before when tablets got the status bar forced down their throats with cm-10.1. All tablets will now have this option.

It may not be in tonights nightly but it will be in there afterwards.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
That is the issue. You can only use that 6046 version to flash CM11 and the corresponding gapps zips. All other zips fail. You must use the SD version of CWM that you used to flash the internal CWM to emmc to flash other zips.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] drmarble:
lsashing 8x8 kernel broken

I don't know why the assert isn't working. It doesn't work for me either. You could just edit that line out of

META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

I won't do it for the uploaded kernel because Then folks could flash it to an HD or anything (motorola, lg, samsung).

I'll try to fix it correctly and upload a replacement. Something changed in cm-11 and the new CWM recovery we need for it.

Sorry that I posted a kernel that wouldn't flash.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
It has to do with the update-binary in your zip. Use the one from the CM11 zip in your zip. Verygreen found the issue in a post earlier in this thread.

That is excellent news! Thanks a lot for taking care of this and getting it through the CM process.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
The "statusbar" brightness control is back as of the 03/04 nightly.

However, while this may be a feature that was available in CM for years, it is not what I was expecting, not having seen what was referred to in the Hummbingbird. I was guessing we were going to have a brightness slide control, like the one that pops up when the "Brightness" tile is touched, to be shown in the notification area, similar to how it is on my JB-equipped Samsung phone.

Also, it appears the "swipe status bar" brightness, when enabled, doesn't work. But after years of using CMx equipped phones and tablets, I can honestly say I have never seen this work correctly on any of my devices. Maybe it's because I'm a device cheapskate (why do you think I have a HD+!).

How can we request an actual brightness slider controll be added like the one in Samsung ROMs?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] hd32:
I use the app Display Brightness to put a slider in the status bar. A single tap or swipe adjusts the brightness. It works great.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
I just installed CM11 03/04 nightly, and indeed, the status bar slider is there now. And for my part, it works exactly as I expected and wanted: Slide your finger right/left along the status bar to increase/decrease brightness. I can do that quickly and easily, even in those cases when the screen is otherwise too dark too read.

I don't have experience with Samsung devices, but this is what I am used to from other devices, and how I want it to work.

Thanks again, drmable, for getting this fixed :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
FYI, what I am looking for is something like this:

Also, while I'm requesting features, maybe under Settings -> Device -> Buttons, it sure would be nice to be able to set the function of the "n" button and have CM remember that setting across updates. I have a hacked keylayout files that I always apply to swap the "n" and "power" buttons' functions but it'd be quite cool to have the option in the settings.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] metropolitans:
It's been working perfectly in my hummingbird since day 1. Maybe you just need to get used to it? I think it's better than a traditional slider bar, because with that, it will only work if you put your finger precisely where the button on the slider is -- which may be hard to do in bright sunlight. With how it's implemented in CM11, you can put your finger anywhere on the top of the screen near the status bar and slide right or left to increase or decrease the brightness. So even if you can't see the screen, you can adjust the brightness.

Also, thanks to drmarble for putting it in ovation. While my HD+ is still on stock (by design), I may decide to put it on CM11 one day, so this feature is greatly appreciated.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
No, I must have been unclear.

It does not work on my HD+ at all.

Sliding your finger along the status bar doesn't adjust the brightness at all. It just does nothing, absolutely nothing.

I am not suggesting the feature on the whole doesn't ever work on any platform, but out of the past few I have tried, I have never seen it actually function AT ALL. But I admit I gave up trying it most of the time, and regardless of whether this works I still run CM on everything that I can make it run on. For the time being that is everything except my Rugby Smart which it seems is totally abandoned by the dev community.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Do you by any chance have auto brightness turned on? I know auto brightness does not work on our device since it has no light sensor, but it is possible to toggle it on. Then the slider will do nothing.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rhyang:
Go to Settings > Interface > Status Bar > Brightness Control and check the box first. At first I thought it was the white border at the bottom of the status pulldown that I should slide, but then realized it is actually the dark area at the top, at the same level as the WiFi/battery/clock indicators.

Thanks drmarble !
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:

Have you guys had problems after charging the battery it hangs on the CM logo ring but could not boot up? Was on nightly 0301, installed a few apps, installed mounts2sd, get rid off a few unused system apps w/ TB (according to a list created for GS3 4.3 ROM, but I only uninstalled a few misc ones, such as download manager, the built-in browser etc, did not touch anything looks essential). It was running good, until I plugged it in to recharge two days ago. Just now I noticed that the battery region (lower left) is hot and the device has the rotating CM logo. Powered it off and restarted it, it still hangs there.

I can always flash another build, but want to know if you guys have had similar problems before or it's because the uninstallation I did?

update: and BTW, how do you boot into emmc recovery exactly for this CM11 version? I tried press n hold "n" and power, it always shut off after holding it for too long. Holding for too short, say one second, it would boot into ROM. I had to press n hold "N" and power while the cwm bootloader logo appears, then it gets shut off, and next time I just press n hold power to boot it would boot into recovery. Is this the real way to do it?

Thanks.
