Try the current bad-hummingbird.img, uploaded about half an hour ago. Do you mean move apps to SD card, or running the ROM off external microSD?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Moving apps to external SD.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
I don't recall seeing anything specifically about that in the logs recently. Just checked though, and some apps have Move to SD Card enabled here.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] sprockkets:
I just tried it and got the same thing with your bad humming bird. I'm kinda in a bind now since I can't find my working copy of twrp. Well, I'll just go with cwm for now.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Ah, okay. I only have 8 gigs internal space. I have plenty of space on the external SD card, but Android thinks that my external storage is /sdcard, which is actually still internal. So, when I try to move apps to SD it tells me there's insufficient space.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
The omnirom-twrp-2.8.5-hummingbird.img is safe as I reverted it to yesterday's version.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

Interesting, I assumed it wouldn't even try to move to emulated SD card, and would check for actual external microSD. I'll look into this over the weekend, in case there's any device specific options for this.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
thanks for all of your work, much appreciated!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] sprockkets:
Actually I tried that one first...but it may have been before you did it, will try later. Thanks though.

Has anyone else had an issue with the Sound Panel?

Doing a clean install with all EXCEPT Hashcode (and maybe Zippy's) first build(s) I am unable to lower the volume. Pressing the volume buttons changes the volume bar, but it shows the Alarm icon, and volume isn't lowered. I just tried amaces' build and it does the same.

I should add that using Hashcode's first build after a full wipe then "dirty" upgrading has allowed the audio to work fine for me. I believe even without booting into the OS between. I could test/verify it (and pretty much anything else) if anyone wants.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Have not experienced this on any build to date and cannot replicate. Sorry.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Zippy Dufus:
Patches good!

Your patches appear to be helpful.

I've built the kernel and checked the apps (Cyanogen browser, Chrome, Cyanogen file manager) where I've observed the flickers and didn't see any. Also, I tested by playing a HD MP4 video without issue.

Good work!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] sprockkets:
amaces, it works! Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
is there update coming any time soon ? my new nook hd 7" tablet sometimes freeze & reboot itself when trying to run apps/games so i'm hoping a new release might fix it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] atlind01:
I see a new GAPPS labeled LPMR1 (possibly 5.1) - 'gapps-lpmr1-20150316-signed.zip' will it work with this version
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Seriously?

As our current builds are 5.0 I'd say no. Try it, though.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
First of all, never ask for release dates. Second, if you had bothered to read through at all, you'd see [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] has compiled some builds for us, might find your problem.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
i see . thanks :)

@Dread This Day do i need to download any of the patches ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
They're not required, no.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
thanks,i went a head & installed your recommended rom by amacas which i didn't know existed so thanks :)

one thing i'm having hard time with is installing the TWRP image,it's been a while since i flashed a recovery image & i have deleted fastboot from my pc because the android drivers where messing up my USB ports. is there any new easy way to install recovery images ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] extrem0:
Use flashify. You can install it from play store. It was a suggestion from amaces which I used and worked. Download his TWRP build and flash it with flashify.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
i will do so tonight,you have been great help so thanks very much :good:

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

can i ask again i just tried to flash the TWRP image with the flashify from the market but it says i do not have root access,i did have root access but it looks like the upgrade removed it,any idea how do i get it back ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Settings>Developer Settings>Root Access>Toggle the option success.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
fixed it for me. thanks DTD :good:
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Awesome. :). Enjoy!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
now that i can finally use flashify it looks like this app only installs zip format but amaces twrp build is in img format !! can i ask how did you install it using flashify ?

looks like i have bricked my nook hd tablet ,i installed the twrp image as boot image :(

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

the fun lasted 2 minutes now my tablet is bricked !! i wish i knew how extreme0 installed his twrp image using flashify !!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
It isn't bricked. Just make a boo table SD card and flash cwm recovery.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613. Follow the directions on how to make a boo table SD card, make one, then either restore a back up or flash cm11 and start from scratch.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
It is best to make the bootable CWM SD and then flash a plain stock zip from item 6 in that thread. That fixes a lot of things. Then you can start over with CM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
yeah i'm back to square one now after almost finishing my work on the tablet !!

any idea how am i supposed to install the twrp img using flashify ? which by the way i got from this link https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] extrem0:
Flashify can flash in both .zip and

.img extensions.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
ok i will try it. thanks

i'm still having problem installing my apk files ,when i try any apk i get "X App not installed" error ? some of my apk files will install fine,some that used to install ok will no longer install !!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
anyone has any idea why half of my apk's won't install when they used to install just fine ? this is really strange :confused:
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
yes & i can install some of my apk's but not all of them.very strange never had this happen before ever !!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
How are you installing them? Through the Google Play Store? From SD Card? You need to be as specific as possible with what is going on.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
from SD card i have tried both external SD & the internal memory as i thought the SD might be to blame here but it's not as some of my apk's still install fine from SD.

when i had Hashcode's rom everything was fine until i installed amaces rom where this issue started !!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Is this an issue for any one else who did a CLEAN install of [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] build? I'm not sure what to tell you, if I were you, I'd dirty flash Has codes build and see if it was fixed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
does dirty flash mean install hashcode's rom over amaces rom ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
I

Yes

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

@amaces found a bug. Headphone audio is missing. Wired and Bluetooth, the audio stays routed through the speakers.

Edit: fresh install fixed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
ok i'm doing it now but the reason why i installed amaces rom is because i had issues with hashcode's rom & now i'm installing it back. :)

i will see how it goes if i still have issues then i think i will need to find a working rom kitkat or jb ?!! you know of any ?

---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------

ok i have dirty flash hashcode's rom over amaces's rom & the tablet stuck in boot loop. so i flashed amaces's rom again,no boot loop but still won't install my apk's so i really need to find another rom,any recommendations please ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Try moving all the apks you want to install to either the internal or external SD, which ever one works.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
i did this already,i created another folder on the internal memory & copied (not moved) some of the none working apk's but still no luck.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lolwatpear:
Can someone confirm this is what I should as a new nook hd+ user:

1. Follow the guide to install one of the older CM versions with recovery here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317500

2. Use flashify to install new twrp recovery and then flash CM 12.0.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
Do you have CWM (ClockWork Mod, not CM for Cyanogen Mod) already installed?

You don't need to install TWRP specifically if you don't want to, I was using CWM 6.0.4.6 just fine for all my flashing needs, before I switched to TWRP 2.7.1.0 for the ability to format partitions to F2FS, but you do need some form of ROM flasher.

If you meant Stock -> CM10 -> CM11/12, I don't think you have to do that, I think it's just some phones that have that upgrade path. It's been 2 years since I left stock, but I think when I reverted to stock a few months back I was able to go straight into CM11. This is the guide you most likely want to follow if you're still on stock, and you should just be able to replace the CM11 ROM with the CM12 ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42406126&postcount=7
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lolwatpear:
Thanks, I get it now I think. I was adding an extra step. Basically I just need to get into the SD recovery, install one internally and then flash a ROM. As for twrp, I said that because everyone into this thread seems to be recommending it, and I believe I've liked it better than cwm in the past.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
guys i think i found the problem but not the cure,i just installed kitkat on my tablet after doing complete wipe of everything but when i come to install my apk files which wouldn't install with LP5.0 rom i noticed i'm getting a message saying this apk is installed do you want to update it !! so it appears the tablet didn't delete everything & still register the apk's as already installed even though i have done complete wipe !! i have no idea how to fix this,maybe if i delete them in kitkat then install LP5.0 it will work ???
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BehindTheMath:
Did you wipe /data or do a factory reset?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
all the wipe options in recovery inc cache,the strange thing i found some of my devices like xperia will wipe everything but others like the nook will wipe nothing even the folders for games & apps remain in the data & obb folders so i have to go there after installing the new rom to delete them manually !!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BehindTheMath:
Try doing a factory reset from inside CM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] agantai:
if safe then i will try it next time i'm installing the LP5.0 as for now i will take a little break & leave it few days on kitkat. thanks :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] roy8846:
Can I just ask (sorry if its been answered a 1000 times)

Flash TWRP 2.8.5 via flashify

Boot to TWRP wipe data/cache

Install CM 12

I am on CM 10 atm with CWM installed.

Do I need to format in any special format or just wipe and flash :)

Just found a Nook HD+ which I forget I had lol!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
Thanks. I'm downloading the GAPPS and ROM now. Will give it a whirl!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
OK did full wipe and installed CM12 and GAPPS. Everything seems very smooth.

Prior to wipe I did a backup of my apps with Titanium. I'm trying to restore but all that happens is Titanium is suck at 0% on restore of first app? Any ideas?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mcord11758:
Was posted earlier, flash newest SuperSU in recovery then it should work
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
Yes doh!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
....I've tried flashing hummingbird twice. Both times i wiped data, etc. The first time, from cm11 m12, and cwm 6.4.5. Flash of ROM and gapps goes fine, no errors. Upon boot, cyamoboot logo appears, then just cuts out. If left it will just loop back into recovery. I went completely back to Nook stock and back to CM to try flashing again, with the exact same results.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] keshabbhattarai126:
Hummingbird could not boot cm12

I was using CM11 M11. Boot into recovery and I did factory reset, wiped cached and flashed cm12-unofficial from this thread and gapps for lollipop . When I boot it shows nook logo and cyanoboot and then screen goes blank

And again reboots. Really couldnot boot cm12. What's the problem guys? I really couldn't get it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
I suggest you try again. I did same as you without issue. Hopefully second time lucky.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Hashcode:
What recovery are you using? It does need to be *decently* new.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] keshabbhattarai126:
emmc cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.6

I am using emmc cwm-based recovery v6.0.4.6. Do you know the link of latest recovery?? I would be thankful.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

I failed twice in hummingbird. Which recovery are you using? And can you summarize steps.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
I've flashed ovation onto my HD+ using CWM v6.0.4.6. Steps were. Full wipe in recovery and then within recovery selected CM12 to flash. Immediately flashed latest GAPPS and rebooted. Only real issue is wireless is a bit flaky.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] keshabbhattarai126:
One last question. I am confused whether to go to recovery form

1. From cm11. Holding power button and reboot>reboot into recovery.

OR

2.Make a bootable external sd card and then boot into its recovery.

Do I need to wipe everything? My backup won't be wiped?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Blenky, obviously the Ovation is build is fine, I'm really doubting this is user error. The Hummingbird build may have a glitch that the Ovation build does not. I did everything as per instructions and used a newer CWM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
I am on a Nook HD with recovery 6.0.4.6.

Did a full wipe in recovery, then flashed the cm-12 zip followed by gapps. I did have to reboot a couple of times before the system was reasonably stable (system froze a couple of times--) seems fine now. Lags a bit and seems not as sensitive to touch, but is very usable.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Blenky:
Yes that's why I mentioned it was Ovation I used

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

I booted into recovery from reboot menu - 1) above.

Yes do a full wipe. I backed up to an external SD card using Titanium. I'm not sure if a full wipe will delete a backup held on internal storage - but I'm sure someone else on here can confirm that for you.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
I just tried again, no luck. Same results. Really curious as to what's messing it up. It just essentially loops into recovery again. So, restoring a back up and I guess I'll just hold off. I don't know what I'm doing differently than the one person who got hummingbird to flash.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Scorchgid:
I'm fairly certain I have had this issue with my HD+. Recovery should be installed to an SD card. After you have installed your rom remove it. It should boot correctly. I keep my recovery on a separate SD card than the SD card I use for my media files.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Hm, how do I do that exactly? Just so I fully understand what you mean, aside from using separate SD cards.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] FirePsych:
This

I've had problems w/ my SD cards. After a while I start to bootloop. Remove the card and all is good.

I have one 2GB card I use for rescue and recovery that has been reliable.

I'm on my 2nd or 3rd 32GB card because of bootloops.

Currently I am not using an SD card. BUT I haven't flashed this ROM yet.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
For ****s and giggles, I flashed the ROM and Gapps, removed the SD, and tried to boot. No luck.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Scorchgid:
Was the recovery running from your sd card. Are you sure recovery isn't installed internally?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
Your current recovery might be good enough for CM12, and you don't specifically need TWRP; newer CWM versions work equally well for flashing. However, I strongly prefer TWRP, especially for the ability to flash boot/recovery images directly, plus F2FS support. Since you pretty much have to wipe data, it's a good idea to change that partition (and only that one) to F2FS. Every little bit helps with these Nooks, and F2FS is a big help.

Other than that, you have the right idea. If you install a GApps package, make sure it's for LP 5.0.x, and not 5.1, or KK ;)

Glad that fixed it. I look at the Nook Tablet changelog for upcoming fixes/improvements, since that's the closest to our devices. Anyway, there was an audio routing commit recently, so I built and uploaded a new hummingbird ZIP overnight. Hopefully, it doesn't break anything…
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TeutonJon78:
I forget, if we go back to CM10.3 for stable, do we still have to downgrade recovery, or can the newer recoveries handle the old stuff as well. It was a problem around when CM11 came out.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lolwatpear:
I should only convert the /data partition to F2FS? Not cache or any other ones?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
That I never tested, but I assume current recoveries (at least TWRP) should work. I also vaguely remember constraints on the CWM version with KK, but that was a couple of years back. Either way, not much to lose if you keep a rescue microSD handy.

Currently, our fstabs only support mounting F2FS /data. With art and LP, the /cache filesystem is not a bottleneck in the same way it was with dalvik on KK. I'm going to quote myself here ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr72:
FWIW, I tried amaces build and found it unusably slow much like my original effort with the CM12. I think the root cause of this is dirty upgrading. Can anyone confirm? What could cause the thing to run very slowly when doing a flash over working CM12? I guess this may pop up more frequently once we begin getting more builds.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] roy8846:
I have installed from CM10 and its very slow as well
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
It's possible wiping will fix things, but it's odd that it'd become unusably slower after flashing over previous CM12. I use the posted ovation builds as my daily driver; it doesn't fly, but it's as usable as a consumption device as with any of the previous builds. Can't test hummingbird directly, but it seems to work so far.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
While it may not be a bottle neck, do you think there is any possibility of adding F2FS support for the /cache partition?

I've been using Jon Lee's Yellow Kernel/ROM which needs the /cache partition as F2FS, but like to try Lollipop. And because I'm an idiot, 90% of the time I forget to fix the cache and my install fails to boot.

Also, I hate to pester with the same question, but does anyone have any thoughts to try to fix my audio issue on Lollipop? Or is there anything I can provide that may shed some light on the issue?

A clean install of any version, except Hashcode's first, the volume buttons change the slider but doesn't affect volume level, and its icon is the alarm icon. A dirty install on top of Hashcode's first does not have any issues.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Dread This Day:
Your Hummingbird builds are daily drivers. Little to no glitches. Overall very solid. I use the hell out of mine. Love it. I didn't flash the newest one, with the audio commit added, do you feel it's worth it, [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] ? Was there maybe anything else fixed or added?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
Allowing F2FS on /cache would take one line in fstab, but it would break from upstream on a core file. Since [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] gave his reasons for never adding it in the CyanogenMod/android_device_bn_ovation repository, we should find a better solution. You're talking about a CM10 ROM/kernel, right? Usually, F2FS is supported while maintaining the ability to mount ext4 /data & /cache. Does your ROM hardwires F2FS for these two partitions? There are options, including recompiling that kernel, or unpacking/repacking it with the proper fstab change. Worst case scenario, we'd need to compile a CM12 kernel that you can flash after every ZIP update.

Never had this issue; in fact, I finally did a clean install with the March 15 build, and audio is fine, save for some weirdness with the default notification ringtone looping forever (easily fixed by re-selecting it).

Nothing mind blowing on the CMX log, mostly bug fixes (which CM12 dearly needs anyway), but if time and bandwidth are not an issue, a dirty flash is cheap ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
Yeah, it requires F2FS. No big deal though. It's just a minor annoyance at worst.

This is what I get: http://i.imgur.com/7luJTKp.png

I lowered all the volumes to 0, then used the buttons to raise the volume. Also, I think if I hit the settings button on the volume notification, the drop down volume panel is reversed from what is shown in the settings, and it wasn't like that in the one version that works.

And even with ALL of them lowered I still get sound, like it's ignoring the volume settings all together.

Oh well, thanks for the help!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mhunt13:
[MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION]

I have an audio issue, too. Running your first and now 3/15 HD+ build -- from the homescreen the volume buttons do not change the volume, and do show the alarm icon on the volume bar that pops up when you toggle the buttons. However, if playing a Youtube video, the volume buttons do change the volume and the icon on the bar is a speaker. Go figure.....

A second issue is with powering off....when I use the power button to power off, after selecting 'power off' it does shut down the HD+ ---- but in seconds it just boots up again!!!!! The only way to really power off, is to hold the power button to force a shutdown. Anyone seen that??
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
At least I know I'm not alone.

I'll reiterate my willingness to try anything (short of ripping open my nook) to help solve this issue. I'm guessing its a slightly different version of the hardware between mhunt and mine from the "rest" of you.
