Are you sure it's different in the May builds? Or is it just that the NHD+ is slower than your phone?

There are things that affect wifi speeds besides the build, BTW. This is a much harder thing to test than just comparing the performance of two totally different devices on the same network. Comparing the same device with two different builds would have more potential of identifying the problem but it necessarily requires a difference in time, which could result in a difference in uplink network congestion which may dominate the result.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] FirePsych:
Certainly could be a difference in hardware but I've gotten much better speeds in the past on my Nook. Easily over 20mbps, and I think a difference if 30+Mbps is pretty significant.

With respect to time, they were sitting side by side at the same time or starting each test within minutes/seconds if each other.

I also tried different servers.

In the past I've found that the CM builds were generally faster than stock Nook.

Tried at work. Same result
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] :
Speedtest app maxes out my net connection and btsync can max out the hardware on the lan....

[or at least I think the hardware is maxed - here's some tests:

(btsync + 524.9MB file transfer + 5/18 build + not perfect testing area, just a good ballpark maybe.)

65Mb is the max link speed of the hd+ due to single antenna.

Max non-encryption speed: 35.6Mb (4.45MB)

Max encrypted: 33.2Mb

20Mhz or 40Mhz - no noticable difference

Power auto or high - no noticable difference

Compatability auto or n only - no noticable difference

I don't know how else to test the wifi speed on my end. Many apps gimp wifi like esfile explorer speed due to the connection type they use, though there could be another app that works like btsync.]
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] FirePsych:
I did not wipe before my last restore, so I'll try a full wipe, then restore. See if that helps.

Considering giving stock rooted a shot.

It's been a while since I've been on stock, so I really don't remember what I'd lose functionally. Especially if I use Apex and xPosed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] FirePsych:
Wiped. Reflashed 5/22.

Got 12down / 15 up tethered to my phone.

Phone was pulling 35+ down.

15mbps isn't bad.

WiFi at work and home won't go much above 5mbps.

Not sure what's up
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rhyang:
Speedtest.net reports 38 Mbps down / 10 up on my HD+ (5/17 build), on par with how mine fared running CM10.2.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] FirePsych:
My connection to the router is fine. Showing 65mbps.it's my actual internet connection that is just crawling
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
Pretty sure the nhd+ build is not the problem. Try it on a completely different network, like your office or somewhere with a business class connection to the internet.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] FirePsych:
Work network, home WiFi and tethered to phone. Same result

Any update on this? It seems that the patch was merged sometime last week to fix the issues with the nightly build failure. However there still hasn't been any new nightly build since.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Zippy Dufus:
The second patch above appears to have been merged but not the first.

I did a build last night and again manually reverted the second so it would finish completely.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] spd_rcr:
I reposted all the details on the cyanogenmod forum. Hopefully someone w/ the power to merge the fix will see it.

Thanks for the details.

PC doesn't see NOOK correctly

Currently on M6 and am having troubles connecting Nook to PC.

I cannot see all folders/contents from PC (although I can see both internal/external SD cards) and those I can see show only some content or files/folders as they were some time ago - eg I deleted FMH2014 folders and reinstalled and now when linked to PC all I see is an empty Data folder even though the content is clearly there as I am playing the game...

I have rebooted both PC and Nook several times to no avail.

Is there a way to force the PC to renew the folder contents..?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] procter:
I updated via the buit-in updater to M6 snapshot (was on previous snapshot ver). Had a few hiccups that never seen before:

1. After the update, I flashed the newest Gapps mini version, and then when I used Titanium backup to backup the Go Launcher Prime and then uninstall it, the system rebooted but portion of my previous installed apps were lost and I had to reinstall.

2. I used link2sd with this device, and has been working fine and I still have tons of space left. However, for the very first time on KitKat, I noticed "out of space" error when the playstore wanted to auto upgrade three apps. I had to uninstall them and then install the newest version to work around.

Have you guys had experiences with those problems? Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
The issue is with the Nook, not your PC. MTP uses scan media to report to the PC the folder contents. You need to somehow get the Nook to rescan media. There are third party apps on Play Store that can trigger a rescan.

Huge System Data file after flashing

Help! Was running CM10 off a card. I flashed CM11 into emmc from Stock, using OP's recovery, the latest CM11 Ovation Snapshot, and GApps, on my 16gb HD+. I triple wiped before installing, everything seemed good. But after a loading about 3 gb of my normal apps, I had less than 1 gb of memory left out of the total 12 gb, and the system slowed to a crawl.

DiskUsage showed approximately 8 gb as "System Data".

I figured something must have happened during app install so I tried reflashing, triple wipe, but with no apps other than Gapps, Disk usage still shows about 8gb of System Data, with both Diskusage and Settings only showing about 3gb available.

Tried Root Browser to find the big files, but I don't know where to start.

Do I need to repartition and if so, how?

Any ideas? Thanks all.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
You said you were running CM10 off SD. Were you by chance running the hybrid? If you were, go to /data/cm_data and delete everything there. That is the old data for hybrid. Also your media files share the free space with /data so look there (/sdcard) for big files to get rid of. They do not get cleared with a data wipe. You do not need to repartition.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] drmarble:
Nightlies are/will be back

My patch finally got merged. Nightly builds for ovation and hummingbird should start again.

Apparently I was just too polite in my efforts to get it merged. Next time we have an important merge I will make more noise to those who can merge it. I think we finally got noiced because our broken builds were preventing translations from getting through.

Anyway. We should be back to our normal nightly selves tomorrow unless someone triggers a build sooner.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] freejack2k:
Followed all steps and everything says installed ok but when i go to reboot it says loading cyanogen from sd and i get the blue cyanogen figure and the blue cirlce, the blue cirlce goes round at a slow speed and stays at that speed it dosent speed up like i thought it would. It just keeps doing that for as long as i leave it. Any ideas?

Hopefully the other 181 commits that've been piling up don't cause any new problems. That seems like a lot of changes all at once.

PC can't see folders/files

No good I'm afraid. I have tried a couple of rescan apps (without any apparent sucess) and PC still can't see old folders/files.

I can see them on the Nook using any standard file exploer.

Is there a rescan app that you could recommend..?

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] threebeers:
Thanks. It was a normal SD rom, not hybrid, but you nailed it. The card rom was treating emmc as the external card, so there were a bunch of hidden media files in the emmc, that showed as System Data when running CM11 from emmc. I was able to move them off using the original SD ROM.

I googled various ways try to find an answer for this and came up blank, before turning to this forum. Funny, since this must be an issue for just about anybody who has run an SD-based rom for a while.

I used one called ScanMedia with success in the past. But I don't run CM11 so don't know if it works with it.

I was on the last release before the builds stopped, upgraded with Cyandelta, no issues so far.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] procter:
Searched this thread but did not find much info, does CM11 on Nook HD+ support miracast? I saw the setting for "cast screen" but did not find any supporting device despite the fact that I have a Panasonic streaming player which supports miracast.

Any tweaks or configuration to make this work?

Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Classpro:

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rholm:
I'm on yesterday's build. I was on 05/18. This seems smoother. LMT and BetterBatteryStats were constantly getting killed and restarted. Not seeing that now. My only other problem was wifi dying. Enabling and then disabling airplane mode would fix the wifi problem. So far so good with. 06/03.

Looks like the build itself is broken again or something. The BBQLog is showing nightly builds, but they're not making it to the actual Cyanogen downloads. I see a couple updates referencing 4.4.3 :good:
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] andtron:
Thanks for the reply, and no, I haven't done any backup.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jjjooonnn:
Yeah... like I said I can run vdc fstrim dotrim (it returns 200 0 0) so no issue with superuser access.

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble running trim manually from the new nightlies.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
Just tested, and yes, I can run manual "fstrim -v /data" (and /cache and /system) on 2014-06-07 nightly. It works just as in previous versions.

I have to say, given that it only ever takes a few seconds, I always wondered if it really does trim, or whether verygreen's kernel safeguards bad eMMC chips by simply going through the motions, but not actually writing the changes. I have MAG2GA Rev 06.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] andtron:
I managed to fix the mx player's problem by going into the /system folder and removed all references to the app, reboot then reinstall, and now it works.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] craigcharlie:
First of all, thanks a ton to verygreen. My Nook HD+ is a very happy machine thanks to verygreen's efforts. I'm now on 4.4.3 after flashing cm-11-20140607-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip and pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.3-20140603-signed.zip. Also, fyi for anyone who wants to bypass the Exchange server remote admin, you can get a 4.4.3 compatible version here, works a treat:

***Anyway, question - I'm a bit confused because I still get the "Set metadata" error when I flash CM11 ROMs. I know this happens because I'm using a CWM version less than v6.0.4.5. The CWM version I'm using is the one from the first post in this thread, ie, http://nook.rootshell.ru/hd/cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip .

Is there a v6.0.4.5 version of CWM for the Nook HD+?

Note, I've been fixing the 'set metadata' issue before each flash by copying the update-binary file from this thread into the CM11 zip I want to flash:

Last thing - anybody have any idea yet how good battery life is on 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 vs CM10 versions? I was on CM10.1 before, and the battery life was awesome. It seems to drain faster since I moved to 4.4.2/4.4.3, but I haven't tested for direct comparisons.

I have ART enabled btw, which seems to make the tablet a lot snappier. It just seems like standby battery life has taken a hit though.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] swaaye:
From what I've read, TRIM simply notifies the storage device of what blocks are unused. The storage device then does the actual clean up on its own at some point. That is why TRIM is seemingly so quick.

hi,

can anyone point me in the right direction for the latest cyanogenmod & recovery so i dont have to look through all 158 pages. i bought a nook hd+ with android version 4.3.1 & cyanogenmod 10.2.1- ovation on it but i am having a few slight problems so i would like to upgrade to the latest stable version for my nook hd+.

I have just successfully upgraded my galaxy s3 to 4.4.2 so i am not a complete novice but it did take me a while & a lot of reading over & over again.

or is it still on the first page what i need.

Very cool not to have to edit the nightlies any more, thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TheDannemand:
Thank you. That would indeed explain it. I remember reading (I think in descriptions of the LagFix app) that TRIM can take up to ten minutes. But I guess if the process keeps running on the eMMC chip after entering the fstrim command, that would be OK.

(Now I wonder if I ever rebooted the tablet shortly after running fstrim, and if doing so what would happen? Please don't respond to this, just musings :o )
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] UnionBlvd:
Alright, so last night I was finally able to install this and it's one of the cleanest, most functional early builds I've used on any device. Even the WiFi has worked without a hiccup so far, which is something I never got to enjoy in 10.2. Well done as usual, VG :cool:

So far, I have noticed a few minor issues, mostly launcher related. The "experience" launcher doesn't let you change the grid size or resize most widgets, so many of the widgets end up looking ridiculous. Launcher3 is a mess, the app drawer has no spacing between icons, the search bar doesn't fill the screen, and I think there's something else I can't remember now. Lastly, I've run into a couple of minor browser headaches - the stock AOSP browser icon disappears from the dock randomly, and Incognito Mode has vanished. I installed Chrome and it froze up when trying to respond to this thread, ended up having to use the XDA app... not sure if that last issue is ROM-related though, could just be that Chrome on Android sucks.

EDIT: the Chrome icon vanished a minute ago as well - seems like any icon in the far right of the Experience launcher dock is disappearing randomly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Chomanator:
Screenshot attached of the line app error. The touch response is a minor annoyance as well as voice +. I can deal with the regular voice app for now. I just don't want to have to go back to JB. It just simply doesn't run as well on these devices.

Seems as good to me as the CM10.? builds. I can't make WiFi tethering work but that may be my ignorance. I get connected and can accept the connection but cannot transfer a file. I never use this anyway. If I do, it is with Bluetooth.

The microphone on a wired headset doesn't work. I think that was the same in 10.?. I like it for VOIP (MagicJack) calling and search.

I downloaded the initial image file for sd, sdcard-cwm-early8.img.gz, extracted, burned and booted it. But the heading in the CWM app that boots says it is for EMMC so I was afraid to go further.

Use Nova Launcher, which has been the de-facto standard and gold launcher of all launchers since Jelly Bean. I never had ANY issues on Nova (on a phone, tablet, whatever) and it's generally faster than all stock launchers. Plus, it offers the most customization (if you have the paid Prime version, which I highly recommend paying for as the TeslaCoil developers are great).

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

ART generally yields a slight performance boost since it (and this is a very crude wording of the difference) precompiles installed apps vs. dalvik where apps are only partially compiled and must be run through an interpreter on users' devices every time they run. Downside to ART is that it is still considered beta in KitKat and not all apps will support it. Additionally, when first booting up, optimization of all the apps takes a good 5-10 minutes since it has to precompile them all. With dalvik, everything will work as usual since that has been Android's default runtime for years.

That being said, I saw minimal differences between dalvik and ART on our HD+'s on VG's latest build but I am still running ART because it can have a positive impact on things like battery life.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Sherip:
Not sure what you mean, I don't think there has been an update posted for the initial image. Could you boot to recovery and see what is in the header?

Sent from HD+ MAG2GA CM 10.2 from SD
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] UnionBlvd:
Thanks, I had a feeling that would be the solution - I haven't used a custom launcher since 2.x and prefer to use a stock one whenever possible, but for some reason the launcher situation in Kitkat seems to be hit or miss, so I'm resigned to using a third-party launcher for the time being.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] drmarble:
It may be a while before you can make calls with cm-11.0 on the ovation or hummingbird. There are problems with wifi on ALL omap devices and cm-11.0. TI has discontinuted support for their android chipsets. We are using a cm-10.2 driver. We cannot set the MAC address. We also can't turn on wifi correctly after sleeping. I think this is true for all OMAP devices; I know it is true for the NookColor and have heard ancdotes about the kindle fires (not HDX they aren't OMAP).

Untill someone figures out new wifi drivers for the ti wifi chipsets we are going to have difficulties. If the calling function is important, switch back to cm10.2. There could also be problems with many secure networks because of the lack of any MAC address. Trust me, lots of folks are working on it, but without support from TI it may never happen.
