I have 2 HD+ and wanted to dedicate one to Marshmallow. I spent time with this build and it just became too frustrating.

I did find a gapps benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3.zip that did get rid of the nag messages with settings in settings-apps. I'll get links if others are interested. AdaWay 2.2 did give some strange messages about BusyBox scripts but it turns out there is a Mars working version of AdaWay, AdAway-release_Build-Oct.09.2015.apk that I haven't tried yet.

Very frustrating not really being able to use the ExtSdcard. Installation of apps is not that simple without using a third party browser.

First efforst here are great. If you look at first efforts on phones, disaster and pre=alpha is what is going on.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
And for those of you who, like I, have been looking to find where the external sd carded is mounted if you want to keep it as an external sd card, on 11/1 build ,it is at /mnt/media_rw/FFF9-7EC0 on my HD-I think that that actual hex address part may vary. I was able to manipulate the files on it with the root explorer app. I think other apps will work as well--they just don't know where to find the external sd card... .

Root Explorer lets you set that path.

Also, I was able to enable and use the Sytem UI Tuner setting...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
Couldn't you use a script to mount(or link?) the folder to its "proper" location at start up?

I thought that's what the system did anyway.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
I think the issue is that it's "proper" location for Marshmallow (the system locates the card with no problem) is different from where older apps are looking for it. I'm sure one could add a link or links I was just happy to locate it:)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] TeutonJon78:
Has anyone tried BaNKs MM gapps? People seem to be using them on the N4 with MM builds without any issues.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] king200:
I'm doing much better with the 0129 build than the 1101. The 1101 build is unresponsive. Also, something like opening an SMB tab doesn't work.

I did this to solve the Google Play Services fc http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/android-6-0-marshmallow-gapps-how-fix-google-play-services-force-close-error-1524431

------------------------------------------------------------------------

With aosp_ovation-ota-MRA58K.151029.zip:

Avoided many hangs and reboots. Developer options->background processes limit->3 max has to be reset on each boot.

Green streaks on screen: developer options_>disable HW overlays. Select but after reboot, will reset to off.

Could browse to MicroSD card with Root Explorer, mnt/media_rw/147E-92D1, was not able to set the path for external card to that value.

Was able to set Home to card with Root Browser https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree

Moon Reader could find the card but not see any files in the root folder.

AnTuTu starts test but then closes.

Google Text-tospeech Engine give error messages. Pico TTS works but has to be set to very slow speech rate to be intelligible. Voice search works but, again, difficult to understand.

Kodi ran well. A big battery eater and video intensive.

Use Swype keyboard and freeze Android Keyboard.

Adaway, even the AdAway-release_Build-Oct.09.2015.apk would not install. Placed a working Hosts from another device file in /system/etc and it works fine.

Adb is more reliable with WiFi than cable.

On the 11/05 hummingbird rom, rooted, but without gapps or any additional app loaded, I have no sound

or video . Loading a couple of apps from APKs, no location services, Amazon Kindle not responding, same as earlier.

This was a clean flash--wiped system, data, cache, dalvik...

I'll try playing with this a bit more.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
Hmm, the A/V stuff may be due to the inclusion of media_codecs_ffmpeg.xml, which is present only in CM. Since you're rooted, you could test this by deleting the <Include href="media_codecs_ffmpeg.xml" /> line at the end of /system/etc/media_codecs.xml.

The Amazon Kindle issue is intriguing; do you remember if you had it on the last CM12.1 builds? There could be several reasons, including a heap change that I made about a month ago. Either way, can you describe in more details what happens, and possibly capture a log?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
Deleting the line from /system/etc/media_codecs.xml fixed the sound and video problems.

Amazon definitely was fine on lollipop builds--it may have even worked on 10/29 Marshmallow, but I was so excited about that build I can't remember now :) It's one of my 3 or 4 most used apps.

What happens is that the application will start and if you are not logged into it already, will allow you to click on "start reading" and will bring up a log in page. Sometimes I have had the page come up, sometimes the application seems to freeze and then quit, sometimes I will get the "xxxx application is not responding..." message, sometimes it appears to restart on its own. I managed to log in once on the 11/01 rom, and then the application would die/freeze/etc when synching content so it never was usable. I could make no sense of the messages in the logs because I'm not experienced enough with this.

thanks for your help.

p.s. I cannot get the "file manager" app root access...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] brenyoka:
Happy New Year! I hope you can enjoy the holiday and have time for things besides these roms :)

Now I am just reporting that recently I made the transition from 12.1 to MM and everything seems to run fine for a week. Still have the same old "reboot instead of shutting down" issue, but I guess I have to live with that.

Thank you for the hard work, as always!

Boot animation in build

[MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION], I've been playing with building to get the Marshmallow boot animation to work on hummingbird. I moved the boot directory containing them to device/bn/common/prebuilt/boot,

(I'm sure they could live anywhere--but the make files that ultimately seem to pull things together live in the device/bn/hummingbird (or ovation) directory. The cm.mk file includes the results of

vendor/cm/config/common_full_tablet_wifionly.mk

which assigns a particular cyanogenmod bootanimation file .

I just stuck the line

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \

device/bn/common/prebuilt/boot/marshmallow-bootanimation-800p.zip:system/media/bootanimation.zip

in later in the file so that the correct boot animation would be used (I know it's not elegant, but it would seem that cleaning things up to keep as much as possible in common is over my head right now. I thought I could just just use the evaluation of your hd-common-prebuilt.mk, which I had moved to the device/bn/common directory in the file instead of the direct coding, but I couldn't get that to work.

SO--when I actually got the new boot animation installed, it wasn't displaying quite right. It turns out to be a slight problem with the resolution of the images, I think. The file I have attached works well on hummingbird.

Happy New Year Everyone.

Missing Mouse Cursor

Good Day, and thanks for your ROMS!

Most of the top half of my touch screen does not work so my HD+ sits in a drawer 90% of the time. I use a BT Mouse and Keyboard to navigate but in the 5.0.2 ROM (February 2015) there was no mouse cursor present when the BT Mouse is connected. I flashed 6.0 today and I still get no mouse cursor. I can barely do a setup and configure BT (rotating and rotating to find a patch of screen that works so I can select something) to use the device with the keyboard only because of this problem. Not all apps work for all the screen orientations. I see another CyanogenMod device had this issue once and the ROM builder fixed it. Can it be fixed for ovation (HD+)? I know the mouse works (it selects and shows a point after the fact when I enabled Pointer location but I need to see the floating cursor when the mouse is moved around when I am not clicking anything).

Recovery does not work for me because the TWRP seems to be touch only so I use ROM Manager/Toolbox to install ROMS.

Please assist, thanks in advance!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
I am not the developer here, but just wondered if you had tried changing the batteries in your mouse, and cleaning the battery leads. I've noticed that that seems to have fixed the same problem with apple BT mice, and thought it might be worth mentioning. ...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BenGman:
Battery is not the problem. The mouse works but I don't see the pointer to know where to click before hand. I've seen ROM builders say its a CM issue http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...00/issues/37+&cd=9&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=opera

then another says its a Android issue because Google wants to phase out mouse usage in Android... but that seems weird with all the Android TV boxes out there that use mice. https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1818

But in the link above a ROM developer fixed the mouse cursor in his CM ROM on XDA for a P900.

UPDATE:

IT WORKS! Installing GAPPs made it work. I don't know why I took so long to do that.

The newest Jan 03 build is working great on my ovation. I have now removed all remnants of previous time and an sticking with this going forward. Thanks amaces.

Sent from my ovation
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
Runs well on Hummingbird, also.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asakurato:
About new January build: Some bugs were fixed. Wifi is now automatically connecting to saved wifi (previously I had to manually tap on it to connect), now I can choose usb connecting mode (MTP didn't worked, was only charging mode). Haven't noticed any other, because I don't use my tab frequently anymore. 60 fps still doesn't work through.

Just flashed MM bootanimation from here http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/bootanimation-android-marshmallow-t3180984, landscape one works very smoothly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] smileyint:
Hi all, hummingbird performance is up a notch. But wifi PEAP, MSCHAPV2 is no longer working since last 2 updates. I set those for free wifi in my country but that no longer works.Thanks Amaces for his hard work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asakurato:
Did you wipe cache/dalvik? Autoconnect wasn't working for me also before Jan 03 build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] smileyint:
Yes. I did. Its a full wipe before i install the latest cm13 for hummingbird and wipe dalvik cache b4 rebooting. Same goes for the last 2 updates as well. Normal wpa wifi is working, but not PEAP, MSCHAPV2 authentication method or maybe its CM problem itself.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] asakurato:
Yes, probably, as It's still on early stages.

Latest TWRP recovery?

Hello,

Anybody know where I can obtain the latest TWRP 2.8.7.5? This version is referenced in this thread.

I built a 01/05 ROM, and flashed the resultant recovery.img and it was a non-functional TWRP 2.8.7.0 version. See below. I've previously successfully flashed the 01/01 ROM with an older version of TWRP.

After some hacking (wiping, repairing /system, etc), I thought that I may have damaged my emmc but was able to successfully flash an old CM-12 ROM.

$ adb shell

~ # cd /tmp

/tmp

# tail -f recovery.log

Oh no! I think I have a bigger problem and I don't think that TWRP is the problem.

Anybody know how I can fix /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system ?

I've tried:

Using CMW, I tried flashing both CM12 (which works with a warning) and CM13 which doesn't work. (see below)

From TWRP, tried repairing and wiping system.

Any ideas?

Before doing anything more extreme, have you tried installing the latest TWRP from [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION], then wiping system, then flashing his latest ovation build? Or, if you have a nandroid backup of a known working system you could use latest twrp recovery to restore it--. It is always possible to repartition, but I don't think you will need to do that. I've done it on a nook tablet before, but don't have instructions for an HD+...

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] KnowledgeBroker:
Wish I could say I was on holiday for.. 10 months!

I really could care less about most google apps, using the playstore rather than side-loading would be preferable.. but whatever version of cm12.xx I am using the bluetooth doesn't work with my car's bluetooth adapter(elm327) - other than to play music, by cord or bluetooth, this tablet is only to be my gauge pod(using torque) that I can occasionally stream netflix/whatever on(yes, while I drive, don't judge me!)

I'm not as concerned about the wifi(I'll create whatever wifi hotspot/bluetooth connection needed) as I am that bluetooth actually WORKS.

I am going to flash it regardless tonight, I have a long drive to JAX in the morning, and there's definitely enough positive feedback I expect this may work better than whatever crappy version of cm12.xx I am using.. but I am an ex-contributor/almost developer(when I had time while still in college), so if there are any tweaks/tricks I may need to apply short of building from source.. don't be afraid to throw big words at me!

If I had more time outside of work or could make more money doing this.. trust me, I would be right there next to you brother! NASCAR pays me just enough.. that I have little time left!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
Just curious--does the adapter work with other tablets or phones? and I'm sure Monfro will be back next week-I guess you not only have to write English here, but also use US date formats :)

I also am using Marshmallow Jan build on Nook HD+. I flashed using TWRP the landscape version 1080p and also tried 720p and now I have no boot animation. The file was successfully placed in system/media location as bootanimation.zip. Is there a different location that the file is suppose to go to.

Thanks,

I've been dealing with this for a long time, and not just this device. I've personally concluded that YouTube is a very pudgy app at this point, and likely acts up on custom ROMs due to all of Google's bloatware and tracking crap. I still wish it worked, and it still bothers me, but I think that problem will outlast everyone's wifi fun and games.

Odd... one of the wireless interfaces on my router was set to TKIP for the WPA algorithm. I've changed it to AES. I'll report back in a few days how this goes.

Update 2017-06-02:

Updating my router config to AES seems to have helped. I haven't experienced any drops on N2G47T.170506 since the AES switch.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] markrs:
It is interesting that the problem happens on different devices as well, at least it isn't just my Nook that has the problem. It works with the Marshmallow version of Android so I will keep with that, bit of a shame though as the Nougat version worked really well except for YouTube.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ieatabiscuit:
I think it's most likely a problem with some modification to the kernel, or graphics driver implementation by said kernel. Much like how some video players play a file better than others on one device, and vice versa on another.

So, nookhd-wlan.zip has the rebuilt (new) driver, whereas the 05/30 full build uses the old driver?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ParadoxGBB:
Thanks for this --- I finally got this to work yesterday, but I had to move both system\media and system\fonts (even with a full wipe beforhand) for GAPPS to install, so the sizes seem to be creeping up.

The perf seems better than CM 13.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

I updated to the 5/30 build a few days ago, I didn't see the separate drivers zip in experimental anymore and assumed it was rolled in --- the wifi seems much more stable, haven't had a drop there yet. Thanks a ton, amaces!

I have a problem connecting my Nook HD (lnos-170520 build) to computer using USB cable in MTP mode. It always connecting in Charging mode and switching to MTP using notification panel doesn't works - the device is not visible on my computer. The only way to enter MTP mode I found is to change USB configuration via Developer options right before connecting the cable, but it always reset back to Charging mode after the cable disconnect. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] dbrickg:
Works just fine for me on my Nook HD+. When I first plug it in and pull down on the upper left corner, it says: "USB charging this device. Tap for more options". If I tap that, I get a menu that allows me to select "Charge this device," "Transfer files," or "Transfer photos (PTP)". If I select "Transfer files", my computer recognizes the Nook and allows me to transfer files to or from the computer. My computer is an old laptop running Linux (ubuntu 16.04). Oh, and in Developer options, I've checked "Android debugging" and "Debugging notify".

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikeataol:
I've see that a few times. if a few reboots don't fix it, try developer options, "Disable HW Overlays"

(I usually turn that option on all the time anyway as it seems to help other video apps I use.)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] neutronjeff:
Seems to have fixed it for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] oldnooker:
Can you or anyone tell me how to install the this driver? Thank you
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] digixmax:
nookhd-wlan.zip is a flashable zip file which you can flash using internal or sd-based TWRP recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikeataol:
this is a small issue.... on ovation LNOS 170520.

if I have developer option set for "screen stays on while charging" ,

when the screen dims, it's too dark. cant even tell the screen is on.

It IS on, sometimes you can just barely see the remnants, and you can double tap to bring it back.

On most tablets,, it dims, but the screen is still readable.

Anyone know of a config file that can be changed for that low brightness parameter?

Thanks!
