[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes and no.. Actually we can lock the bootloader so fastboot flash wont work.... All we need is for the recovery password to block the following to secure your data (on the nexus 5):

Mount of external (OTG) media

adb access

file manager capabilities

This would mean you can still boot into recovery and flash / backup (although not to removable media) until you went into a security menu to "unlock recovery". This would even mean that your automated jobs can still occur without having to face a "boot password". The password could be stored on /sdcard in clear test and there could be an option to delete the password incase you forgot it in this same recovery menu, which also wipes the device.

recovery is the only weak point of my device.

Sure, Samsung's Odin will get round this password on their devices as the BL is not locked but any device with a locked bootloader (locakbale bootloader) will benefit.

Another caveat is that this is not to prevent the device being wiped.... unlocking the bootloader will wipe the device, and this is what I want. I don't care about getting the phone back as much as I would care about securing my data. Its all backed up. Nothing is lost. I just might not want someone else getting access to it.

Although this is beyond the extent of my knowledge to achieve, I don't think it would be hard for anyone who knows what they're doing with code.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Do u mean that you always have a locked BL?

Thanks for your feedback but one thing remains the same IMHO. Of course we can lock the BL but a thief can unlock it then flash factory images. No more custom recovery, passwords...

I'm not talking about the user data but to be able for a thieft to use a device even with locked stuff.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm just talking about data security. That is my only concern. Devices are replaceable. Unlock bootloader, data wiped. fine!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyly:
Oh thanks everyone, I just wouldn't want a theif to use a phone they don't deserve, pretty much the only security on my phone to not go to bootloader is for no power menu on my lockscreen but you could probably use adb to get through

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] naveen_reloaded:
A day before i moved from CM 10 to CM 11 , with the help of mikeataol

Anyway Thanks a lot for this guide.

Few questions

* Any good custom kernel ? I tried Bexus but its giving me "android.phone" stopped responding error and wont allow me to do anything , it just keeps on coming even after pressing "OK"

* What happend to multi touch feature ? any ROM , way to enable it ?

* Is it only me or others too feel that the screen lags a lot wrt to touch input ? Its more evident during scrolling or reaading pdf. Also anyway to resolve it ? I desperately need a fix for this.

* I used gapps from here : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

CM 11 20140105 , is it fine or i should use PA Gapps only ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Look for the Touch FW Flasher app on the App Drawer screens.

Did you do wipe /data and /cache in the CM11 installation process?

The Gapps KK package you installed is fine, the PA package just has a few more apps (such as Maps and YouTube, etc. -- all of which you can get from the Google Playstore) and is more frequently updated (-> less likelihood/need for updates for the apps in the package immediately after first installation).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] naveen_reloaded:
Thanks , I heard that multitouch has bug which makes tablet slow at <50% battery , is it so ? also does that app work on cm 11?

Yes , i did wipe everything and installed CM 11 , still the screen is stuttering. very annoying. Is there a way to increase the fps ? or see if GPU drivers are working properly ?

The default Gapps are giving error when flashed with Bexus kernel :(

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aatt.fpsm&hl=en

Used this app and saw that fps varies and it varies like from 7 - 50 during reading pdf.

On slow scrolling of pdf , it only shows 11 or so fps , which is why i think shows the stuttering effect

Used the same app on my GS3 to see the difference and it holds its FPS at 60+ and not dropping below 50.

I think if i can make this tablet to render everything at 30+ fps i might not feel this stuttering effect.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] naveen_reloaded:

here is the video i tried to take regarding the screen lag.

its all real time , there is no , afaik any camera lag ( taken with sg3) , its pretty much how it looks . Also i have shown the FPS . You can see when i scroll slowly , the FPS drops to 20 or so making it jerky. if i do it fast , it reaches 50+ but not stable and not very responsive to my touch feedback either.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
What version of CWM do you currently have on emmc?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Hannibal2050:
Sorry, I handled this issue.

But now if I selected the ZIP file I downloaded from the first post, CWM reported that this file is BAD, and I cannot install.

I am using CWM 5.5.0.4.

I downloaded this file several times, but the issue does not disaapear
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
You need a newer version of CWM 6.0.[1-3].x to install CM10.x.

If you have a SD card handy, try the method outlined at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51377882&postcount=163.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Hannibal2050:
Hi,

I did exactly like that. I tried to update CWM to 6.0.45 and the current CWM reported that the zip file of CWM 6.0.45 is BAD
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
For CM10.x you need 6.0.[1-3].x (e.g., 6.0.2.8).

6.0.4.5 and later versions are for CM11 only.

If you follow the SD-based CWM recovery method in the referenced post the CWM recovery you'd be using (to flash the new CWM, ROM, Gapps) is provided by the file recovery.img (downloaded and copied to the SD card) rather than your current 5.5.0.4 on emmc. Make sure that you boot the NT off the SD card as prescribed in step #3 (otherwise you will end up booting emmc cyanoboot and CWM).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
FYI, i'm pretty sure TWRP 2.7 (official from GooManager/TWRP site) doesn't work. if you click on the console button (square with lines in it, top) it'll say "This kernel doesn't support configuring SELinux" or something like that. i tried wiping stuff and it would just do a soft reboot. i may go file a proper report to TeamWin but i have CWM on there now and i don't particularly feel like reflashing a broken recovery.

TL;DR don't use TWRP

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mononon:
Just a regular "Error blah/blah/blah.zip not flashed".
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Did you get more diagnostic info just prior to "... .zip not flashed"?

Also, you should be able to flash CM11 and the corresponding Gapps using TWRP v2.6.3.0 you currently. If that does not work, check to see that you have the right version and uncorrupted download zip file for CM11.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mononon:
I'll have to see what it says later when I get home, but it didn't have an error number or much extra. Just tried to flash then stopped. My first guess was a corrupted download, but I've downloaded several different nightlies several different times. I downloaded CM11 for encore from the CM11 thread in this forum.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Encore is for the Nook Color, you need the build for

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rrvball:
having some trouble

Ok, it's been a while since I rooted and flashed my Nook tablet and I thought it was about time to upgrade it from CM7.

So, I found this thread and followed the instructions. For some reason, the first several times I tried to flash the ROM, I received the messages:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

then, the NT flashed a few times (2 or 3) and rebooted.

So, I flashed CWM back to 6.0.2.8 and tried to flash CM10.2. The same thing happened the first 2 times, and on the third, it got to:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update package...

before it flashed and rebooted.

Note, every time I flashed a new recovery (either CWM 6.0.2.8, 6.0.4.5 (which comes up as 6.0.4.6), or 6.0.4.8) they seemed to work just fine (i.e., after the reboot and selecting recovery emmc from the boot menu, the new recovery was loaded and running). It was only trying to flash the ROM that the NT flashed and rebooted.

So, then I went back and flashed CWM 6.0.4.5 again and rebooted and flashed CM11 (cm-11-20140803-SNAPSHOT-M9-acclaim.zip), and this time it worked without issue. I then flashed the GAPPS (pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20140818-signed.zip) and it worked without issue also.

Is it normal to take several tries to get it to flash a ROM?

Ok, so now I have CM11 running and it seems to be working nice and fast, except, the Google Search app locks up after performing the search and displaying the results. The results are there, but clicking anything results in absolutely nothing happening and about 25 seconds later, the NT shuts itself off. Turning it back on results in a cold power on (i.e., it goes through the whole boot process). Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

Thanks,

Randy
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I have had this "Google search lockup & crash" problem as you described beginning with M7 on. I reported it on the Official CM11 thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2560827) but have not heard of any solution.

Thank You

[MENTION=3511186]digixmax[/MENTION]

Thank you! Your instructions worked great and CM11 is now up and running on my Nook Tablet. So far, it is running much smoother than CM 10.2. I have an 8GB Nook Tablet with only 500MB of ram and it seems like CM11 is the way to go if you're going to root.

A few notes from my experience:

1) Read instructions carefully

2) Make sure you are using CWM 6.0.4.5 or higher (I tried installing CM11 using CWM 6.0.2.x a while back and it does not work)

3) For CM11 ROM I used cm-11-20140803-SNAPSHOT-M9-acclaim and for Gapps I used the one labeled CM11 "small"

4) I used the "small" version of the Gapps because the other one did not work for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrHyde:
I've searched all over the forums for the last couple days. I know how to use the FTP and I've read a bunch of this and that. I can't seem to find out what roms do what though. I have a bunch of customizations in mind I'd like to do with my MDA but I don't know how to accomplish them because I guess I just can't figure it out. I don't know if it helps but the things I'd like to do are:

*Make the clock bigger by default so I can read it easily

*Reassign the top hard keys so that at least one of them closes whatever window I'm on

*Add shortcut keys like people seem to be doing in all the screenshots I've seen (this is done using something called vijay I think?)

*Set the MDA up so when I close a program it actually goes out of memory (so after a day of using all my programs the MDA isn't all bogged down with running programs)

*Have a WiFi network finder/wardriving type tool (I saw someone mention wififofum but not where to get it or how it works)

*Maybe get some kind of listing of "cool" programs people use. It's hard for me to imagine all the possible cool stuff that people are using these things for but I know it can do way more than I'm doing now :)

I already flashed the rom once using the guy here (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe)

which worked brilliantly. It seemed to just make the t-mobile rom go away and put some kind of default generic rom in there. Which is a cool improvement but doesn't really add a whole lot.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks a ton!

Hey guys (and possibly ladies as well)

I have been using Cyanogenmod on my devices since my first Android phone, the HTC Wildfire, then Galaxy S2 and now Note 3. In Samsung ROMS I like the one handed features, but the pros of CM by far outweigh them for me.

The only real problem for me right now is when I get a notification, and pull down the notification drawer, it's all the way to the top, or if I want to skip a song in poweramp, it's also up there. Maybe I just have tiny little T-Rex hands:D, but if I want to do this, which is a lot, I need both hands. Is it possible like it was back in CM7 to display the status bar on the bottom in stead of the top of the screen, think it was under 'tablet options'.

It'll look a little awkward at first but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Can this be done via some app or xposed module?
