[MENTION=3654172]verygreen[/MENTION]

I got a random reboot with audio poping noise running 1/10 unofficial.

Will the problem of Kernel sync panic reboot ever be solved in CM11? Because both CM10.2 and CM10.1 didn't have that problem. But I don't really want to switch because of the smoothness of CM11.

CWM v6.0.4.6 very slow doing a backup

Just installed CM 11 & updated the CWM and when I did a backup through recovery it took over an hour to backup about 6 gigs, before when using CM 10.2 & whatever version of CWM that worked with it, backups took maybe 15 minutes or so, might have been even quicker since it the backups pretty quick never noticed how long it took, but waited over an hour to do it after the install was done.

Anyone else seeing this slow of a backup on there Nook HD with 16 gig.

Other then things are running smooth.

Thank you in advance for any help or info you can provide me.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] snoozer854:
Thank you for the reply.

Will this work when using a microsd card for the backups or do the backups have to go internal memory?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] snoozer854:
Thanks for the help, will give it a try the next time I back up, just couldn't figure out why it was so time consuming compared to before since I was backing up the same amount.

Over an hour is crazy slow for sure.

Once again,

Thanks

I noticed my Nook HD+ running 1/18 UNOFFICIAL sometimes has problem with YouTube, both app and website. Video doesn't play, is stuck at the loading circle. Usually happen if the tablet had been sitting unused overnight. Other websites work fine. Can be fixed by reboot. Anyone else notice that?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] snoozer854:
Nope no blob files. Boy, I hope doing the Dup backup doesn't take 3 to 4 times longer. Wonder why it is so darn slow, maybe it should have been left like it was before at least my backups were fast. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

I might try a Dup backup later today and see what it does. Will post back & let you know.

Have a great day

I apologize if this is the wrong thread for this question. Please move it if it is. i didn't see a specific build thread anywhere.

I would like to build cm11 for ovation from source. I have set up my cm11 source tree.

When I go to extract the proprietary files, there are several under vendor/firmwear that are not found on my device or in the nightly zip file.

1. Can these be ignored safely?

I was able to get the build to go by commenting out those proprietary files (I have not attempted to install yet, though).

2. Is the recovery image in the out directory suitable for installation?

3. If it is, how is it used?

4. What are the differences in the recovery for sdcard and emmc installs? How can they be built?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jisoo:
1. They can, but you will get a blank screen on boot... Use this repo for proprietary files: https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_bn/tree/cm-11.0

2. Yes, but again you need the proprietary files in your repo before you build this

3. You need to modfiy the recovery.img following this guide, and then make it into a flashable zip. Have a look at verygreen's cwm zips to see how you accomplish the second part.

4. Someone smarter than me can maybe answer this.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
FWIW, the crashes are most frequently when waking the device (pretty much every time), and I get "Unfortunately, Google Sound Search for Google Music has stopped" and "Unfortunately, Google Voice has stopped". Occasionally I also get the same message for other Google apps including Google Play Store. Sometimes I also get "the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped". Less occasionally, but still sometimes, I get these crashes not only when I am waking the device, but during use (ordinarily reading books in Moon+ Reader).

The kicker is this is using ART, which otherwise works great. I have done a little web searching on this topic since it's a constant annoyance and it appears to be a known or expected incompatibility between gapps and ART, reported elsewhere and discussed here on xda-developers but for different hardware and CM11.

I hear there is a ART-friendly version of gapps out there somewhere. Maybe the solution to the problem is found in that version of gapps.

Anyone have a pointer for this? Can someone direct me to the ART-friendly version of gapps? And if so, I suggest that it would be an awesome idea to add such a link to the OP.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pdx1138:
I thought the PA Gapps on the first page were ART friendly.

There were lots of users commenting they worked just fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
OK. Well they don't work just fine :)

Problem: How to delete a icon/widget from one of the screens? Formerly I moved it up to a trashbin, but I can only move it around.

Using Laucher3. The settings for Launcher3 are very limited . Colums, Rows, Startscreen Searchlist.

Is there a kernel for slight OC of the cpu for cm11?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] snoozer854:
Set it up to do a Dup backup & it took over 2 hours and I looked and did not see any Blobs and it appears as if it just did a full backup again.

Takes way to long for me, I might just hang on to the backup that I did and make sure everything else is backed up with Titanium Backup.

I always like to do a backup before trying out a new nightly build, but with backups taking that long think I will pass.

Thanks a lot for the replys

Mark
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
That is typically an error you get with a version of gaaps that is not ART compatible(although I'm not familiar with Moon+Reader)

PA's version of gaaps is compatible, I got my version from succulants site (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/12/20/cm11-0-kitkat-android-4-4-2-for-nook-hd-xx-20dec2013/)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] excalibar001:
You have to flick an icon upwards to remove it in launcher3.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Same here, changed to dup, but after backup I don't have blobs in my backup folder and it also took quite long.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kdejong2012:
Do the CM nightlies have all the necessary proprietary files for the HD+? Or is it best to wait for Verygreen to release an "unofficial" version like his last update on 01/18? Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Well, latest Nightlies have strange bugs, e.g. screen off bugs, etc.

So I would rather wait.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] snoozer854:
I am not seeing any file extensions of .dup, just looks like regular file extensions from a full backup. hmm for some odd reason it isn't working right or something. I changed it to default dedupe and it takes as long or longer to run through the backup.

As I watch what it is doing the backup of system gets done very fast, but when it backs up data it takes a very long time to finish.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] snoozer854:
No didn't say anything like that.

Thanks for trying to help, I really appreciate it.

I resolved my screen flicker issues on CM11 nightly when plugged by utilizing CPU adjuster and creating a profile when I am plugged in to switch governor to performance. Screen flicker is gone. To keep my nook from potentially overheating on the charger, I created a second profile setting the governor to powersave. No issues, all smooth. YMMV

Moon+ reader works fine. It just so happens it is the app I use 90% of the time so when I see the errors with gapps it is while I am using that app.

I have the PA gapps. Same problem. I'll try the one you linked.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Chomanator:
Anybody else getting battery drop issues? I'll be using the device normally but sometimes the battery will drop to 1% and shut down immediately. It will not reboot until I plug it in where it returns to the batter level it was at before the sudden drop.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] nimaim:
Nop battery is as good as the iPad Air for me, running the 1/18 unofficial build. I use DS battery saver pro to sleep properly when it's idle though.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] MechaGen:
I've had similar problems with CM10.1 & CM11. When battery gets below about 30%, more often than not the battery will immediately drop to 1%. It doesn’t shut down, I get several hours more use, just don't know when it is actually empty, dies "unexpectedly".

I never reported it because I figured it was due to "dirty flashing".

I use Xposed module HideBatteryLowAlert to get rid of the constant notification. You can try the "DisableCriticalBatteryShutDown" module.

Remember, Xposed framework doesn't work with ART runtime.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] snowlarbear:
running the 11/18 unofficial build on HD+, does anyone else get random performance drops/increases?

my benchmark is.... Candy Crush. sometimes/usually the candies will drop slowly, then for 10-15 minute stretches, the game will speed up the drops. pretty sure this isn't a feature of the game. also don't have much running in the background.

edit: wl08 said below it's the app's fault.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] wl08:
It's Candy Crush's issue, I have same problem on Galaxy S3.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Chomanator:
I'll try flashing it clean to see if it solves the issue. I have been flashing updates dirty. I haven't seen this issue yet until a few nightlies ago. I had a similar issue with my Nexus 4 and that turned out to be a swollen lithium ion battery problem. Hoping its not going to be the same.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
Well, the quick turn off rotation bug is fixed in the 29/1 nightly. Let's spend some more time with it to see about other bugs/reboots/flickers.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] :
I couldn't use it. Wifi and app problems... Game trailers wouldn't work at all then play store wouldn't open. Had reflashed gapps too and that did nothing.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pastee:
Why is there no SElinux enabled in this rom?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
Have had great experiences so far with the 1/27 and 1/29 builds. Wifi seems to be mostly fixed now. It's no longer forgetting my saved networks, but I did have an issue today where I had to reboot in order to add a new network. No big deal; now that the profile is saved I expect it will switch when I go between work and home.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] haeffnkr:
Hi,

When I reboot I dont get the recovery option, it just wants to reboot the tablet.

What did I do wrong?

Also does anyone use TEAM battery bar? It will not stay on for me.

thanks Kevin
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
I dont get the Recovery option either(Still on the 1/10 version) I dont think that option has been folded in yet. My guess is they are working on getting any major bugs taken care of before adding in the bells and whistles
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] DGolom:
Have you enabled Developer Settings yet? Advanced Reboot is in there. That's what you are looking for. If you haven't, tap the build number a bunch of times in the About Tablet screen in System settings.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Tested 1/29 with 1/29 kernel. Got two reboots and screen flicker within 10 min.

Flashed 1/10 unofficial kernel - reboots and flicker are gone. Could you please look into that [MENTION=3654172]verygreen[/MENTION]?

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Chomanator:
Whatever was changed in the 1/29 nightly has fixed the battery drop issue I had mentioned earlier. Still getting some screen flicker along with everybody else. But that's the only issue I'm having. Good job! ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Reed-Sternberg:
I also confirm the flickering is still there (although did not lead to reboot for me). For those of you with this issue, have you tried disabling "force gpu rendering" in developer options? Seems to be somewhat working. Need more time to confirm tho. Please try and share your results with everyone
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] felacio:
The biggest fix for me has been dropping the 1/10 boot.img into any zip from Cmupdater before I flash it. Haven't had any flickering and only one reboot.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kangi26:
Thanks DGolom, didn't know they hid it there
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Chomanator:
Found a new problem that has been reoccurring. If I let the tablet sit idle for a long period of time, say overnight while I sleep, it refuses to unlock (slide lock screen). Sliding it to any spot shows the lock screen unlock anim but the screen just immediately sleeps and locks the device again.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Just what I am saying! Do you know the app Flashify? If not, check it out - lets you flash .img and zip files right from your device, not recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pdx1138:
if you have the magnet cover it's a known issue all the way back to jellybean.

just open/close 3 times and it should then work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Chomanator:
I don't have a magnetic case for it. In fact I'm not using any case at the moment. I always get the most random problems. ;)

Though I'm assuming its a hardware issue in which case just ignore me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kmare:
1% battery drop is a hw issue. If you go back to stock it will still be there. RMA is the fix
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] haeffnkr:
thanks that was what I needed.

Kevin
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] wmuflyer:
It seems the problem goes back to stock, my wife's was doing that but she didn't tell me until I put CM10.2 on it then we got her the magnetic case and doing the open close routine works.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Major-Hardon:
i installed CM11 for the Nook HD+ and it's stuck at the boot screen, i reflashed it twice thinking i did something wrong and nothing. gets to the boot screen where the face is and just stays there.

Gave this a try and all is working fine on my HD+ with latest CM11. No more flicker so far.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] joe_blow_xbox:

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Major-Hardon:
to bad there is no usb mass storage available yet
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rhyang:
Use the USB mode switcher in quick settings if you are on the unofficial build, or the USB switcher app in the OP if on nightlies. You may also need dubidou's app for some devices (see thread in General forum).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Major-Hardon:
doesn't work for me, i am running linux and for the stupidest reason mtp does not work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] rhyang:
Sorry, completely misunderstood what you were trying to do. MTP works fine for me on Win 8.1. No idea how it works on Linux.

Another thought: Settings -> Storage -> Advanced
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Major-Hardon:
because for windows you have the adb driver to help out with connecting, for linux mtp is one of the harder setups to connect to. for me i just insert my sdcard copy files and go from there, at times it's a hassle to keep doing that. that is why i was saying to bad it doesn't have mass storage enabled.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] sunami88:
I've had a good amount of success (in Mint 16, 3.11.0-15-generic, Mint 15 as well) with mtpfs (sudo apt-get install mtpfs should do the trick). The other suggestion I've seen floating around is gMTP which has a gui. Never got that to work though.

That said, it's SLOW. But with mtpfs when you plug the device in it should just show up in Nemo like a normal removable device. YMMV, and good luck :p.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Major-Hardon:
tried it, didn't work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] sunami88:
Just out of curiosity which did you try (mtpfs or gMTP)? And did you reboot afterwards? Truth be told I usually just unplug the SD card as well, but I did just try the usb cable again and it (mtpfs) works over here...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Major-Hardon:
both
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kdejong2012:
Can you point me to the 1/10 kernel? I downloaded & extracted the 1/10 rom but can't find the kernel in it.

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

So, did you created a Default profile and a second one when connected to wall charger? Wanting to try this.

Are you on 01/18 build or recent nightly build?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Kernel is boot.img in root directory.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kdejong2012:
Thanks, that's what I thought. I already flashed it but still had screen flicker and spontaneous reboot yesterday. Some people had success eliminating screen flicker flashing that kernel but did not work for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Try it with 1/19 Nightly. And check in About Phone if you really have the right kernel.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kdejong2012:
Rom is 11-20140118-UNOFFICIAL-ovation (1/18 build compiled by Verygreen). Kernel date is Thu Jan 9 19 41:44 EST 2014 (1/10 kernel).

You suggest 1/19 nightly as opposed to most recent 20140201 nightly? Use with 1/10 kernel either way, correct?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Yes, try 1/19 Nightly. I have been using that with 1/10 Kernel. Upgraded and always went back to that set up. I actually just bought three more HD+ (for family, lol) and they all run that set up and there is no problem so far.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] kdejong2012:
Do you by chance have the 1/19 nightly? CyanogenMod download page only has back to 1/25 nightly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] razholio:
I'm also a Linux user and I've been really happy with adb push and pull for file transfers.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
I actually have a zip file with the the 1/10 kernel and the 1/19 nightly combined. I will put it on dropbox.

Does anyone know how to downgrade from CM11 to 10.2? I've tried installing the stable ROM via the CM updater and recovery but it gave me an error relating to the build (Ovation) even though it is the correct type for my HD+. I also tried to install the original recovery but it wouldn't let me (same build error).

Thank you.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
Basicly I prefer 1/19, because I had problems restoring Apps, it seemed more stable and it has the older screen off animatiom, which I prefer.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
I'd suggest that you use SD-based recovery (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613) to re-flash CM10.2, corresponding Gapps, and the previous CWM recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] spd_rcr:
I've been trying to load the latest CM11 nightly, but it seems to have some hardware drivers. Just loading up the 1-18-14 build linked here. I'm curious if all the fixes noted in this thread are being implemented back into the official CM11 nightlies ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] JanSpatschek:
just flash cwm-recovery.zip from dummies thread and then reboot recovery, flash cm 10.2 and gapps.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Major-Hardon:
ok then i am guessing i said something wrong to get my post deleted.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jbbandos:
It seems to be missing something in terms of hardware drivers, yes. I hadn't updated the nightlies at least since Friday, and today after updating MX Player is quitting with "unsupported device". I am going to try and flash the 31/1 nightly back to see if it works again or if it was something else I changed.

Edit: Something has been broken. Flashing the 18/1 unofficial or restoring MX Player 1.7.22 didn't fix the issue. The fact is that MX Player worked well Friday, and now all it shows is "Unsupported device" and quits. I have no idea what to check next, will see if there is something in logcat when I can connect the nook to a pc at home.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
There was a recent update to MX player from the play store. Maybe that is related?

Hey verygreen, can you remind us where to find notes on what is changed with each new nightly?

Also my battery life is pretty disappointing with cm11. Any sure fire tips to improve it? The HD+ has never been as good as the NC was but cm11 seems a lot worse than cm10.1 was. I was getting under 10% drain per hour of screen time with cm10.1 and it's maybe draining twice as fast with cm11 and art.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jbbandos:
I went back to the previous version (I had backed it up with Titanium) but for some stupid reason I only could get it to work again by uninstalling then installing from the store. Not even a restore with TB worked.

No idea what broke it, though, it was working well Friday.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Major-Hardon:
go into recovery and wipe data and dalvik, if you have to do a factory reset. i am running 1/2, it runs nicely with MX Player and XBMC.

i do have an issue with recovery mode, if i try to get into it from the reboot option it gets stuck in a boot loop. i have to stick the sdcard in to get it out of the boot loop and then into the os.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
It may be the build you're running. My MX Player updated just fine, but I'm running the 2/1 nightly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] :
Selinux can now be enabled...

For those who would like for it to be enabled in the cm11 nightlies right now then see my post here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50024253&postcount=3
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] jbbandos:
I was running that nightly too, and even going back to the 18/1 nightly didn't help. I had to uninstall and install MX player again from the store, and now it is working. Just wiping data or restoring a backup made with Titanium wasn't enough.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Darrian:
Well good that it's working, at least
