Thanks, I followed the link, installed the stable version and it works like a charm. Any thoughts on the video issues?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lisztophobia:
probably a widevine DRM problem.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] theoneandonlybrooks:
Thanks. Any idea how to fix it?

Netflix works fine, doesn't that use widevine as well?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lisztophobia:
as an ordinary novice user, i've had a little bit of success at fixing "playback isn't supported" errors in google play movies by appropriating widevine DRM files from community ROMs that were built for similar devices (it's dependent on a number of things including android version, CPU model, etc).

i'm not so sure that this is exactly the same problem (maybe not, since the error message is different...), even though i suspect the error probably does have something to do with DRM. but i wouldn't recommend fiddling with it, without being sure about it. dunno about netflix at all, since i don't use it.

if it's very important to you and if you're impatient about when amaces might fix google play movies functionality in his marshmallow ROMs, then you could try his CM 12.1 ROM instead. if i'm not mistaken, google play movies works just fine on that one. personally i'm willing to forego the one app, since amaces' CM 13 is quite a bit smoother & more responsive than his CM 12.1 in my experience.

Bootable SD TWRP

[MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION], you seem to be working on what I have tried to do today--with no luck yet. I've been assuming that the recovery-ramdisk.cpio was zipped and made into an omaptype image by mkbootimage, but wasn't sure if something in recovery.fstab would need to be changed for it to run from SD card. Obviously, you know what you are doing and may already have this working, but if I can do/test anything let me know. I just thought it would be easier for newbies not to use two recoveries for initial installs...

and btw,

Happy Valentines Day to [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION]'s Daemon, who unlike Maxwell's, stays blissfully out of thermodynamic arguments .

Is he listening to earthly music?

Does he hear the sound of two black holes colliding?

Or is he, perhaps, receiving cosmic guidance on the state of our roms...

:)

Bug Reports & Future

The thread has enough momentum, and it's becoming inefficient for me to deal with issues here, so I'll be mostly watching the Bug Reports in the future (heads-up, [MENTION=7260824]DE-Nooker[/MENTION]). Although I thought I have plenty of patience, after eleven months of this, it turns out that I'm not very well equipped to deal with an XDA thread.

Builds will continue, albeit at a more moderate pace; CM13 builds every couple of weeks, and the regular monthly AOSP updates are sufficient at this stage. Also, the Nook-specific repositories should be most stable when new ROMs are published.

Yup, it took a while to understand how X-loader, U-Boot, and the second bootloader work, and what they need to load things. After finding the archaic toolchain (2009q1-203) that can compile the CyanoBoot sources, I rebuilt a new uImage, and repackaged the new kernel and RAM disks (some hints here).

Anyway, the dedicated thread has more information. I also was itching for more complete/comprehensive SD card recoveries, and now we have them.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
Thank you for the explanation, and for your patience with us. Happy coding.

Trouble with Gaaps Nano

I am having trouble loading Gaaps Nano on my HD+ and was hoping someone could give me some help. Having read through much of this thread and many other treads and web pages. I think I am doing everything right, but I just can't get it to install.

Here are the .zips I have installed:

cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip (works great. I can boot into this at will)

cm_ovation-ota-MMB29U.zip (works great. I can boot up and run apps that are installed with this)

twrp-2.8.7.5-ovation.zip (installs w/o errors, but I don't know how to run it)

open_gaaps-arm-6.0-20151203.zip (won't install see below for the error messages I get)

EMMC CWM-based recovery v6.0.4.6

Just try pico GApps instead.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] justwondering:
I am going to install today does AOSP humming bird or Cm13 have tap to wake built in as a feature?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] antebr:
I have the same problem.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] js290:
The "downgrade" works using twrp 2.8.7.5.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] antebr:
Yea, but then I cant install nano GAPPS on AOSP 0204 (after boot there is no gapps).
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] js290:
Yeah, same problem, sideloading gapps "works" but doesn't seem to be actually installed on reboot. I ended up install the gapps as a zip via recovery. Then do a factory reset again before rebooting out of recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr_nook:
Just tried to install pico (open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160215.zip) and got the same error.

I saw somewhere on the internet that I should use TWRP instead of CWM. I have installed TWRP, but I don't know how to start it up. Can someone help me with that?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mr_nook:
All is Good!

In case anyone else is in my situation, here is what did:

1. Installed CM13 & TWRP with CMW

2. Erased CMW from SD Card (necessary so it wouldn't keep rebooting into CMW)

3. Booted into CM13 and turned on Developer Options (Settings > About Tablet > tap Build Number 7 times)

4. Went into Developer Options (Settings > Developer Options) and turned on Advanced Reboot

5. Pushed the Power button and selected Reboot

6. Selected Recover from Advanced Reboot

7. It then rebooted into TWRP

8. Installed open_gaaps-arm-6.0-nano-20151203 from /external_sd

9. Wiped Data, Cache, and Dalvik

10. Rebooted into System

11. CM13 seemed to reinstall

12. After resetting up Nook, Play Store was there and it works!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread and the development of these apps!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] justwondering:
Similar setup to you , but I cannot see the dev options in settings.

But i managed to boot into TWRP , by turning off the tablet , then holding the power on and " n " home button to boot into TWRP
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] justwondering:
Brilliant Latest CM13 installed , Gapps working ,but oddly the tablet seems to stop working and I have to reboot , basically , let it automatically go to sleep after 2 mins , then it will not always turn back on , this seems to happen randomly before I had installed any apps.

Also Is it possible to set the nav buttons at the bottom of the screen to go off when say surfing and is it also possible to turn off the top notification bar....

Ideally I would like full screen surfing , on my LG G4 , you can set the on screen nav to pop up when required , is it possible on CM13 ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] hotwired34:
I've tried a few times to get root working, and I've failed at all attempts. I tried disabling and enabling root for apps-only in Developer Settings. This didn't do anything. I also tried to install SuperSU from Chainfire, but I only see regular version (from Play Store) v. 2.65. When it opens, it says to update binaries...and that fails.

I'm running the Feb 8 CM - cm_ovation-ota-MMB29U.160208.zip.

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to see if I can get encryption to work. Do the current zips support it? I'm getting the same issue as I had before (Android robot appears for ~2 seconds and then reboots after confirming that you want to enable encryption), so just wanted to make sure I have the same setup as other people where encryption worked.

TWRP 3.0 from Feb 8

Flash order:

CM13 from Feb 8

Experimental kernel from Feb 9

Open Gapps

Do I need to do a factory reset too before I try to encrypt, or is one of my other items the issue?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
Your setup worked for me on my nook HD. The nook will reboot while it is intially encrypting and also seems to have a sort of two-stage boot after encryption. I ran just to test, but if I remember correctly, you may have to do a factory reset to "unencrypt".

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

For expanded desktop, go to settings , "display & Lights", "Expanded desktop" and turn it on. Turning it on should give you some additional options. You can then bring the nav and status bars back by swiping up from the bottom of the tablet.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] justwondering:
Totalllly Brilliant Thank you ! that has made the tablet near perfect for me , full screen on a smaller screen is a must !! :) :) :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] clockworx:
Odd. Not sure what is different for me then. I had been using it for a while on an earlier CM13 release before updating, but I wouldn't think that would block encryption from working. I guess I'll try a factory reset and see how that plays out.

Nope....no go. I just did a factory reset, and on TWRP 3.0, flashed CM hummingbird and the experimental kernel. Nook goes to the robot screen for a second, then reboots and loads CM13.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] justwondering:
Can I use a NTFS Micro SD card with CM13 ? if so , do I format the Micro SD card in my PC then simply insert into the Nook ? I ideally need to use files larger than 4GB.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
If you go to settings, security, Encrypt tablet, what is under the heading right now.?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] DE-Nooker:
Don't install SuperSU from the PlayStore and uninstall it if it's already/still installed. Then download one of the zips (right now only 2.76 beta is avialable but it should work) from here and install it from TWRP. This (installation in System-Mode) should always work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] justwondering:
Help and advice please, installed cm13 today latest version, in general is works well but 3 times it has failed to come back out of standby, had to hardreset each time. Wiped dav etc, still happened again.

So I decided to try and install the AOSP version via twrp, but it will not let me install AOSP (error 7) due to AOSP been older than the currently installed Cm13.

What do I need to wipe using TWRP 3.0 to allow me to install AOSP.

All help and advice welcomed, I'm happy to stick with CM13 but I am unsure how to fix the issue but equally happy to try AOSP. Tyia

*** update ***

Basically it happens every time I use the on button, to turn the screen off, looked in key settings, all appears fine, even tried assign the screen off to another key, same issue fails to wake, needs long button press to reboot the tablet.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] theoneandonlybrooks:
Still on 29T, tried the Disney Anywhere app, it lets you download or stream digital copies of movies. Same 901 failed to fetch error. Apparently Netflix must use a different DRM system than DIsney or Google, because it's the only one that works right now. Could I be missing something in terms of Gapps? Had anyone else had any DRM issues? Or is this something that will have to be addressed later in the ROM itself? Is it similar in the AOSP version? Is DRM working for other users?

Sorry for the questions, but I'm just trying to figure out if it's something I did, or if it's an issue with the ROM.

I downloaded the latest version, so I may flash that regardless. Should I start from scratch or flash on top?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] clockworx:
It has the text about encryption (must be plugged in, may take an hour or nmore, etc) witb the "encrypt tablet" button at the bottom. If i click, i get a second screen with a warning about it being irreversible and i will lose data if I interrupt. Clicking "encrypt tablet" again takes me to the "green outlined robot" for a second or two, and then it appears to do a soft reboot - i dont see the splash screen again, it kicks me straight to the CM animated booting logo

Are you on TWRP 3.0.0?

Use 2.8.7.5 instead, that work for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] justwondering:
Hi , the rom has installed it seems to be when you press the power button to turn off the screen.

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Is it possible to flash 2.8.75 over the version I have installed V.3.0.0.0

What difference will the older version of twrp make ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] hotwired34:
Hmm...This doesn't work either. I tried with the old TWRP from my bootable SD card and with the newer 2.8.7.5. Both failed with "Error executing updater binary in zip"

I also tried the BETA 2.67 - SYSTEMMODE and Stable 2.65 - SYSTEMMODE.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] theoneandonlybrooks:
I downloaded it straight from denookers link, flashed from 2.8.7.5 and it worked like a charm. Did you try from twrp installed on nook and not from SD? That's what worked for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
If you let it continue to boot, what happens? I honestly can't remember the exact sequence of mine while encrypting--I did have to enter my pin a couple of times. Are you using as pin or password? Just trying to figure out what may be different.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] clockworx:
It just ends up back in CM. I'm using a 4-digit pin.

I did notice one oddity - it doesn't prompt me to use a pin if my Lock Screen is set to swipe. I thought having a PIN/Password/Pattern was a requirement for encryption. I went ahead and added a PIN, though, and it still doesn't work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] justwondering:
Where in the settings is the Developer Options? I have seen them mentioned amongst the forum posts, but I have looked in settings and cannot see the Developer options.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] :
go to about tablet and tap on build number about 8 times.Go back to settings and it should be there.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] justwondering:
Thank you :) thats perfect , I now have the developer option !
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] belfastraven:
It definitely will not encrypt without a password or pin being used as the unlock method. Perhaps the best thing for you to do right now is to wait for the next version of the rom, do a factory reset, and start over with a clean slate. I'm afraid that anything that you try now may just confuse things further. This definitely worked for me on hummiongbird with the latest Rom, experimental kernel, and TWRP 3.0.0-0 so without having your nook in my hands, it's a bit hard to figure out what the matter is..sorry.

[MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] LP and MM threads have been fantastic to follow over the last year. I have been inspired by the intelligent discourse that has been provided by his contributors belfastraven, Monfro, ieatabiscuit, DE-Nooker and others. You have brought new life to my Ovation and inspired me to obtain a Hummingbird just to have more fun -- thank you all! I am afraid that I may be too late to properly thank [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] as his frustration (and mine) with the direction of threads may have caused him to "tune out". I'm just a noob but I love to read, experiment and watch the ROM development (that was the purpose of the thread, right);)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lavero.burgos:
Hello, thank you OP for your work.

Yesterday I installed this ROM straight from a really old Cyanogenmod ICS build (I think it was ICS maybe older).

Steps I did was TRIPLE WIPE including System Partition, install TWRP zip in CWM recovery I had already installed, install ROM, install Open Gapps Pico, lastly attempted to install SuperSU stable and beta from the link posted by DE-Nooked without luck (got an update binary error every time). Anyway after using for sometime with many apps it seems its not needed anymore.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] DE-Nooker:
If you did install the CM ROM, you actually don't need SuperSU because CM is already rooted and it also has a SU rights management (but not so advanced one like SuperSU). The update binary error might come from the version you had installed from the Play Store. You must uninstall any SuperSU versions before installing the one from the link in system mode from TWRP.

Hi, you may wish to check the Bug Reports tab at the top of the page where you will find same bug reported/logged by me. Click on Comments in order to read my full experience with the wifi drops.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lavero.burgos:
Ok after more testing yes WiFi needs improvement, I'm very close to my router and all my devices except the Nook HD+ have full signal range. The Nook has 4 of 5 bars (example) and feels quite slow when dealing with apps that need internet.

The other thing I notice is the multitasking experience doesn't feel snappy. Yes its better than old CM Roms and Stock but still is not buttery smooth experience and I know it has 1gb of ram only. Hopefully it can also be improved a bit more.

That's about it so far, apps and settings work. I changed DPI to 300 it looks better IMO but the standard is 320. Go figure I guess 320 is too much for this tablet.

This might be off topic,but I think this is the best place to ask this question.I am currently using the nook for watching and storing lectures,mostly downloaded from YouTube.Storage is becoming an issue,so I would like to purchase a larger capacity SD card.I am confused between sandisk ultra 64gb and Samsung evo+64gb.I am not sure if the nook can handle them properly,plus I am aware that the higher speeds on these cards might not have much of an effect on the old hardware(?).Considering the card will outlast the tablet,I would like to purchase one that is compatible and would be good for any future device as well.Any help regarding this is appreciated.Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] lavero.burgos:
I have a Samsung Evo 16gb (class 10 I think they are) and Nook HD+ is not reading it at all, not even in twrp.

Its formatter fat32 and haven't tried exFat and NTFS yet but will do soon.

I've read many people having issues with sdcards in the Nook HD/HD+.

64gb most likely will give you trouble, I also red these tablets support cards up to class 6.

wifi issues

Using ovation MM 2/8/16. I did not update the kernel. After deepsleep, previously set up wifi network would not connect and password was unsaved. If you re-entered password, would still not recoonnect. A reboot of Nook HD+ and Wifi automatically connected w/o me having to re-enter the password. Hope this info might be useful to help track down the "wifi issues" with the Nook.

Good for you. As I said I've read several people having issues with sdcards. Myself right now have issues with a Samsung evo 16gb, I already tested with format fat32, exFat and NTFS without luck. I guess is because is class 10, somewhere I read it supports up to class 6 , sounds absurd but who knows.

On my Ovation I am using this 64gb SD card without problems for more than a year:

https://www.amazon.it/gp/aw/d/B00JMB18JU/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] extrem0:
Yes. I tested the 64gb and it worked. At first, it detected multiple partitions (I was using it in a raspberry pi a long time ago) and did show many partitions working and the last one as corrupted. I formatted it in nook hd+ itself and it's now showing a single partition with 59gb free. (It formatted as FAT32. Exfat or NTFS are better as they don't limit files to 3gb). I tested formatting it to Exfat using a computer and Nook hd+ (this ROM) recognized it successfully.

So, cards I tested were: Sandisk Ultra 32GB (micro sdhc) and 64GB (micro sdxc). They are UHS-I which is similar to Class 10.

One thing I'd like to share is that I've had to RMA two sandisk's sdcards. Somehow it got corrupted. Fortunately, in both cases, I could read the files, but couldn't write to the sdcard. Sandisk customer service is amazing, they sent me back new sdcards and they are working great so far.

Sorry for the offtopic.

Just did fresh install of 2-8 29u cm on ovation, wiped everything, and then wiped dalvik and cache after cm install and again after Pico gapps install. Still having DRM issues. Netflix works, but no purchased content via Google play movies, YouTube or Disney.

Is this a current bug or am I the only one having problems? Please, has anyone else had DRM issues with this version of cm? I can't seem to get any answers as to whether anyone else has the problem, so I don't know whether to backtrack my install process or simply wait for a later fix.
