Otherwise rom seems to be fine, but Have not had much time to play with it. Wifi is fine for me after several reboots--

Have the changes been pushed to your repo?

thnx
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
Yep, same on the AOSP builds. I haven't had time to look into it, but we should be able to fix it given that it worked on previous builds with new DDK (unless I'm mistaken).

Haven't pushed them yet, but will do as soon as I clean them up.

[MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION], the LineageOS 14.1 latest build for ovation (Nook HD+), it lags, and weird things happens when you press the home button to wake up the device (like weird colored lines appear and sometimes the device refuses to turn on in general for about 15 or 30 seconds while it is in sleep mode), and YouTube, it lags, and the audio with the videos are not playing at the same time (it couldn't be our router, we just bought a brand new and a better router 2 months ago). Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
Is this the build in experimental, or the one in device folder?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Merazomo:
You're probably right. I've tried it time and time again after writing this question, and for the first few minutes it's almost as if it was frozen. All of a sudden, notification start coming in from the time Wi-Fi was off obviously. I use my Nook mainly for reading while occasionally looking at info Online here and there, and that's when it stops to a crawl for a few minutes.

The Pros outweigh the Cons with these builds though. It's not a big deal. I just thought there was something wrong with my Nook. Thank you for such an amazing support to this "Best Cheapest Tablet Ever" for reading E-Books, Comics, Manga, etc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikeataol:
I loaded the Ovation AOSP Experimental 181209 using Magisk 17 and an open gapps

and found that I wasn't seeing a boot animation on first run when I loaded all three in the same TWRP session with no reboots in between

I loaded rom, magisk, rebooted to recovery and loaded gapps and boot is normal regarding animation

----

I was concerned about the performance of the rom for the first few days, normal use seemed fine, I watch mostly in VLC or MX player, and the network seems better

but , out of habit I always test using quadrant just to see if its normal (I know [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION], I know...)

for the first few days something was hanging CPU cycles, yet today all seems fine.

I did disable wifi scanning and add the disabled-0 to misc/wpa_supplicant for my wifi entry

I'm not sure why it was reluctant to run the cpu tests in quadrant, but that appears to have gone away

If it continued I would have gotten logs, but today it seems like any other of [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] builds, perfectly acceptable. Thank you for continuing these.

Running 2018-12-09 Lineage build and I'm super happy with the new WiFi. It doesn't stay on constantly when not in use (Keep WiFi on during sleep is set to always) but still "flickers" on periodically for push notifications and such. I'm using MicroG, instead of OpenGapps, with Hangouts and GMail installed and this is my usage: https://i.imgur.com/NpMPTygh.jpg

One problem I'm having is Firefox does not work. The UI loads normally, other than the Settings and some other options being disabled in the menu, but crashes after a few seconds. I'm on a completely fresh install.

Rotation issue e was just an untucked option in settings, usually its on by default and I didn't check.

I was about to install the latest update when i had a look and it seems i updated to the experimental oreo build for both hummingbird and oviation.

Ah well, at the very least i should mention that i cant pick up my router at all on the oreo build.

I believe this is what I had to do on my ovation.

In any case read the log of the failed flash, it will tell you what went wrong.

Where are the newest builds?

I checked at the notredame.app.box.com link in your very first post in this thread for the new builds you mention above on 2018-12-09, but the latest Lineage OS builds for Hummingbird seem to be dated 2018-11-20. Am I looking in the wrong place?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikeataol:
no, that's the right place, the dev removed them for some reason.

He's very good, I'm sure there will be new at some point soon, and he had his reasons for taking them down.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] amaces:
On the AOSP builds, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox seems fine. Try the current Lineage builds in experimental.

Unfortunately, that patch depends on other plumbing that's harder to backport on K3.0, but I'll keep it in mind. K3.4 already contains the fix.

I'll refresh the Oreo builds at some point in the future, with the latest Wi-Fi fixes.

All Nougat builds in experimental were updated. If no new bugs, they'll replace the builds in device folders soon.

My build of 14.1 of 28th December 2018 using [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION]'s source shows a security patch level of 5 December 2018.

Best wishes,

Bob
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
Yes. The string SECURITY_PATCH_LEVEL which lives in build/core version_defaults.mk was updated to December in the unlegacy-android source on the 27th and in the Lineageos source on the 18th. I assume that amaces was building more locally (to him) and not necessarily from the android manifest that we build from. I just wondered whether he realized that the build was showing an older patch level..... (which already would have been at least on November when he uploaded the builds) (BTW, doesn't it seem a bit "unsecure" that anyone with access to source can easily change that security patch level string, whether or not any patches have been applied. Hmm, not sure how one could make that more secure) :)

For old, low memory devices, it is certainly amazing how well amaces has kept the Nooks going . He started this thread in November of 2015.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] AlexanderF69:
December 23, 2018 lineage build working nicely on Nook HD

The lnos_hummingbird-ota-NJH47F.181223.zip is a significantly improved build based on my past 3 weeks of use and it should be moved from the experimental to the device folder on the Notre Dame box site (linked to in the very first post in this thread).

This latest build seems to resolve the significant Wi-Fi disconnection issues that had plagued all of the prior builds (both LNOS and AOSP) I had installed on my Nook HD over the past year. I have used the upgraded device both at home and at they gym (where it has to negotiate switching between many access points) with stable and reliable wifi and Bluetooth connectivity. Prior builds were completely unusable at the gym when switching between multiple access points.

There were a few glitches and wifi disconnects at first, also affecting Bluetooth, but these seem to have worked themselves out and the device currently seems very stable.

Thank you amaces! :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ales-76:
I have recently installed latest AOSP Nougat build (181223) onto my Ovation. Runs perfectly well, no Wi-Fi issues whatsoever and all apps I am using are also running well. Thanks Amaces.

What concerns me though is that security string is still showing October 2017. It was like that for previous Amaces builds too. Is it just an omission in bumping the security string or are Amaces builds indeed missing security patches for over a year now?

Second thing, I noticed is that fstrim binary is missing on the December AOSP build. I am using ext4 for all the filesystems (f2fs was giving me perf issues) and I was used to occasionaly run to keep the NAND fresh. fstrim does not seem to be part of busybox, so likely it comes with AOSP. I wonder though why it was removed from the latest AOSP build when it was present on previous builds. Any idea?

Once more thanks Amaces for keeping Nooks very much alive!

Hi,

I'd just like to say thanks and report that I "upgraded" my nook hd+ today to the lnos build. It's running SWEET :D youtube and chrome working perfectly.

In case it helps anyone I used the following files and process. (I can't post links yet) I also wen't "nuclear" removing the stock image and didn't make a backup so beware!

Downloaded from Amaces Box Account - notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/folder/3332706778

lnos_ovation-ota-NJH47F.181223.zip

sdcard-reco-ovation.img.xz

twrp-3.0.1-0-ovation.zip

Downloaded gapps - opengapps.org

open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190317.zip

For resizing the partitions (REPIT?) followed this guide : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71387219&postcount=1722 and downloaded

Process

Write sdcard-reco-ovation.img.xz to an sdcard. I used Rufus as win32diskimager failed after numerous attempts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wipe everything and resize partitions - recall I said nuclear ;) So Rename

lanchon-repit-20170115-factory=same-system=1G-cache=112M+wipe-data=same-ovation.zip

to

lanchon-repit-20170115-factory=32M+wipe-system=1G+wipe-cache=32M+wipe-data=max+wipe-ovation.zip

Copy all of the files, except the img of course, to the sd card.

Boot the nook with the sd card

Use TWRP to install the zips in the following order

AOSP 8.1 (oreo) fails to compile for me after 3 hours. I'm trying to build it for the Nook HD (hummingbird). Any ideas/suggestions? [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION]

Here is the log. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c5sSbHq1EPJ5VQemuR1w1Flce2dFvZXN5ouhK9-37wo/edit?usp=sharing
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
Since I haven't seen any recent 8.1 rom releases for the Nook HDs from either unlegacy_android or amaces, I'm not sure that you will be able to boot 8.1 even if you manage to build it.

This is the problem that stopped the build:

Out of memory error (version 1.3-rc7 'Douarn' (445000 d7be3910514558d6715ce455ce0861ae2f56925a by android-jack-team@google.com)).

Try increasing heap size with java option '-Xmx<size>'.

For more information see the troubleshooting section of https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/sdk/+/master/README-jack-server.txt

Also, google recommends 16G of memory for building AOSP.

AOSP Oreo 8.1 Ovation Works!

Here is what I did to get [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] AOSP Oreo 8.1 to work for me with root:

I went here: https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/folder/24717651525

and downloaded

TWRP-3.2.3-0-ovation.img

aosp_ovation-8.1.0-20181008.zip

I flashed the TWRP image in my current TWRP recovery which is 3.0.1-0. Then I rebooted back to recovery to use the new TWRP. Then, I flashed the Oreo zip along with open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190420.zip. I rebooted the system, let it boot Oreo, and then I setup GApps. To get root, I downloaded the Magisk Manager app. (I cannot post links but Google is your friend)

Then I opened Magisk, and installed the Magisk framework. You will get a popup asking if you would like to install it. Tap on "Install", then tap "Download Zip Only" on the subsequent popup. Once the zip has downloaded, reboot into recovery. Flash the Magisk zip and then reboot back to Oreo. Once you have rebooted, you will have root!

I hope this helps someone.

Is it better performance wise than the LNOS 12-23 build? Stable? How are you doing with it?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] flyingpreacher:
Performance wise, it is OK. It is a bit slower than the LNOS 12-23 build, but it is good enough for me. I got an intermittent reboot back to the Android boot logo today, but I don't think that will happen too often. I will keep you posted.

actually, running into an issue with exFAT / NTFS microSD card support on AOSP

do I have any options available for large file storage w/ this ROM?

using the on-device Format makes the card FAT32 which won't support large files

the whole point of getting this device running was to watch offline movies & media, so would be bummed if I am OOL

Hi, I Just installed the lnos_ovation-ota-NJH47F.181223.zip and it is much better than the older cm I had. I did notice that the screen goes to snow occasionally. Is this the graphics bug referred to in the above post? It has only happened a couple times. I'm wondering if I should go back to the older version?

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Zippy Dufus:
Software rendering causing graphics issue?

If the graphics bug is the same issue that I'm seeing whereby the screen goes completely to a "white snow" or a green pattern, I resolved it by:

turning on Settings -> Developer Options -> Force GPU Rendering

turning on Settings -> Developer Options -> Disable HW Overlays

I suspect that my display was being rendered in "software mode".

I'm uncertain if one or both settings resolved this,
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikeataol:
I like to experiment so I will downgrade from a later version (aosp_ovation-ota-N2G48H.181223) just to try this out.

in case anyone else is looking...

SO...

The LNOS earlier build with

ro.config.low_ram=true definitely tests faster than the AOSP later build without it

I also restored my AOSP from TWRP and added the flag ro.config.low_ram=true to my build.prop and that did not seem to have any effect.

same unit, same number of apps , same gapps, same wifi etc...

The earlier LNOS scores 500-600 points higher in Quadrant professional than the AOSP later build

( ~4700 vs. ~5300 )

I remember trading emails with [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] about that flag, and at one point using the flag definitely broke chromecasting.

It was a deal-breaker for me at the time. on both builds at this point casting seems to work fine.

- Thanks for posting :good:
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Sus_i:
Thank you, that build is really good. I've tried it with pico gapps but without the lowram flag for now and it seems pretty stable, much less lagging than my old setup.

Thank you. I'll try that if I get time. :good:

Makes perfect sense. I got this bug (green/white lines on the whole screen) with that build, especially at opening/swipe menu's like the status bar...
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Screemi:
does anyone of you have the issue that the nook turns back on after it was shut down?

it doesn't matter if the tablet is connected to the charger or not. if i shut it down with the powerbutton menu it will turn on after 20-30 seconds.

i just flashed the los 14.1 build the op posted on 12.23.18. everything seems to be fine apart of that reboot issue.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
It's a long standing issue with the Nooks.

I could be wrong but *THINK* it's something that gets/got fixed and re-broken occasionally.

I just let my Nook 'sleep', but depending on the ROM it has a wifi wakelock issue -- where the device won't enter deep sleep unless the wifi is set to be disabled when the screen is off, or worse turned completely off manually. I'm using an older build (Android 5.1/CM12.1 cm_ovation-ota-LMY48Y.151218) since I can't get newer ROMs to play CrunchyRoll videos and I use an app to turn off/on wifi with the screen, since the wifi settings don't appear to work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Sus_i:
Yeah, that issue is well known.

Solution or lets say workaround is to press/hold down the power button about 20 seconds until the nook is off.

How stable is this build for you? Whats about lags?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mikeataol:
I actually had issues that caused me to go back to the newer aosp build rather than the July LNOS.

I tried a few times to fix them, but it was just simpler for me to use the newer release.

It's probably something in the combination of things I use, but they work fine with the newer AOSP

I couldnt use the playstore. No apps would download.

I used a new open gapps at first, and then wiping and using an opengapps close to the release date of 7/18. didnt change things.

Also, root access seemed messed up. ( I use magisk)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] Sus_i:
Thanks :) What newer AOSP release do you mean? 18.11.20?

I use currently this build in obselete folder: lnos_ovation-ota-NJH47F.180713.zip

together with pico gapps from 2019.12.19.

Yesterday I had problems with magisk. Can't tell why, but root access was suddenly gone.

First I flashed the nook patched 16.1 magisk, tried it multiple times, but it doesn't show any settings in Magisk Manager.

Then I flashed the latest 20.1 Magisk from the xda thread. Root works, but Magisk Hide doesn't work for me.

Magisk 18 from github fixed all issues, Magisk Hide works again.

Apologies in advance for such a stupid question. I had to wipe my Nook (Lineage 14.1) and I can't figure out how to completely switch off screen lock. This tablet never leaves my home, screen lock was de-activated before the wipe, and having to swipe every time the the screen saver kicks in is a nuisance.
