I don't understand all you're writing but hope I got it right and that what I tell you will help you.

As far as I know there are no kernel on Android M which have kexec support included. But you need a kexec kernel to run MultiRom. So only thing you can do - if you want to stay on the new Marshmallow to live without MultiRom.

Recently inherited a Nook Tablet 16GB with OS 1.4.3.

Did some searching and Phone Arena http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Barnes---Noble-NOOK-Tablet_id6548 lists it as Android (2.3).

Am not familiar with TI OMAP4 SoC.

Since Android is now at 6, I wonder what the latest OS can be used with it?

Appreciate comments and suggestions!

Thanks

Ken
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KenithO:
Should add am wondering what is the latest Android OS I can use before the TI OMAP4 SoC becomes noticeably Slow.

Ken
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
Slow compared to what? The original 2.3? That I can't speak to since I never did much with my original (ebay) tablet but turn it on and flash CM 10.2.1 (after having it repartitioned at my local B&N store). I ran CM 10.2.1 for a little over a year and was fairly happy with its performance but I have to add that it has been my only tablet experience (if you don't count my much-modified Nook Simple Touch!) and the rest of my experience is with desktop and laptop Windows machines.

I think if you intend to use the tablet for memory and graphics intensive gaming, you may be disappointed. Not sure since I'm not a gamer. I use mine for reading news, watching movies and/or streams, listening to audiobooks, doing crossword puzzles, email, some limited internet browsing, running Kodi, etc. I'm not sure I'd call the tablet response "sprightly", but I'm comfortable with the performance. I don't need to grab a cup of tea while something starts up :)

I'm not sure about CM 11 (that's roughly KitKat). I skipped over that one to investigate CM 12.1 (Lollipop) for just about a week now and have noticed some strain on the hardware resources and a change in response. But it's still settling in and things change a little from day to day so I'll give it a few more weeks before I decide whether to return to 10.2.1 or try 11.

So....it's largely what you'd expect. This is a piece of hardware that was designed as mainly a reader with a few bones thrown in to tantalize people into thinking they were getting a little something extra--which they were. But that was in the days of Android 2.3 and it really wasn't designed to be a super-duper multimedia tablet. That said, there are a lot of people who still use them and spend a lot of time developing CM for them.

As a 2.3 device it's pretty limited (except as a reader, if you like the backlight) so I'd say give at least CM 10 a try and see what you think. Just keep in mind its hardware origins.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KenithO:
Hi nmyshkin,

1st thanks for your comments! Will try to explain in more detail.

I would like to use my Nook Tablet as a audio/video player (No games) so like to install VLC media player or similar.

"Slow compared to what?" To my experience installing newer Windows OSes on same hardware. Have had best results using apps like nLite or with WinXP using Hiren's MiniXP to reduce all the Win Bloatware!

Since you are much more experienced concerning the Nook Tablet do you have a blog concerning your OS upgrade experience? Also what Audio/Video Player App(s) do you use?

Ken
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
If you're interested in mainly audio/video then the NT should serve you well. I hear you about trying to put newer (read: hungrier) operating systems on older machines. The CM people have done a great job but every piece of hardware has its limits. For your purposes I would think that CM 10 would be fine, but you could certainly try 11 or (maybe) 12. The advantage to choosing a more up-to-date operating system is that more apps are available to you. The catch is that the PlayStore will often say an app is not compatible since it sees the device as a Nook Tablet and has no idea that you have upgraded the OS. So you sometimes have to be creative in obtaining apps and sideloading them. As for bloatware, the principal source is the GoogleApps! When I did my CM 10 flashing there was just the typical package but there are now mini, micro, nano, etc., versions which narrow down the list of GApps to bare essentials. I used the nano set on my CM 12.1 and don't miss anything.

I've attached a screenshot of my current Home running CM 12.1. I have a second screen which is just a few utilities (file manager, print, wi-fi transfer, etc.) but you can get an idea of what kind of stuff runs well on the tablet with a newer OS. I've not used VLC player on the NT but I imagine it would be fine. MX Player works well for me and it also serves as my music player. Since I grew up in an era when the album was king, I don't keep separate songs and use minimal tags. If you're a more tag-driven music listener then you'd want something else. CM 10 comes with a tag-friendly music player but if that didn't suit your needs, there are plenty of apps to try in the PlayStore.

Anything that MX Player can't handle (haven't found it yet) Kodi would be able to deal with. I guess you could use Kodi exclusively as a media player but the screen interface is a little trying for a small screen.

I'm "experienced" only to the extent that I've had a lot of help with problems :) In my view you can't do better than the instructions given by user digixmax. His installation instructions for CM 10 are here. For CM 11 or 12 they are here. If you read through both threads you'll find plenty of panic-stricken posts by yours truly :o

FWIW I usually can download and install from an alternate source such as 1MobileMarket (http://market.1mobile.com) or Amazon appstore the very same app that Google Playstore deem incompatible with my Nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
Yes, or you can try here: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

Most common apps can be downloaded to your PC from there and then side loaded. Supposedly they will also fetch less common ones if you ask.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KenithO:
nmyshkin,

Thanks again for your detailed comments!

Also while I am new to Nook Tablet have been using Android cell phones for a while. My 1st Android phone was a Kyocera Hydro http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Kyocera-Hydro_id7096

Wanted to root it but after reading "!!WARNING!! there is currently no working recovery, beware of the changes you make to your phone, modify at your own risk" (am a believer in Murphies Law

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy's_law) decided not to take the chance.

Recently I got an and hoped to root it but found "Alcatel A460G Rooting Trouble - a lost cause" http://xdaforums.com/general/help/alcatel-a460g-rooting-trouble-pointers-t3261024

so am waiting for someone to do this first.

While I have never Rooted an Android Device did learn early to side load, usually using http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

Have recently found mention of another Android app download site APKPure https://apkpure.com/ but do Not know how trustworthy it is?

The only thing I know about "CyanogenMod" is what I read at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod

Since my Nook Tablet is still original will volunteer to use any test apps to determine its speed.

Also since it does not have a Camera do not understand the need to go above KitKat (4.4). If there is some other reason would be interested.

"When I did my CM 10 flashing there was just the typical package but there are now mini, micro, nano, etc., versions which narrow down the list of GApps to bare essentials. I used the nano set on my CM 12.1 and don't miss anything." Nano is for me! What about Pico? Also found Pico(Uni)?

Where do you normally download them? Is it http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/03/download-android-44x-kitkat-pa-gapps.html

Question: What do you gain by using CyanogenMod 12.1, based on Android 5.1?

Ken
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KenithO:
Hi digixmax,

"I usually can download and install from an alternate source such as 1MobileMarket (http://market.1mobile.com) or Amazon appstore the very same app that Google Playstore deem incompatible with my Nook."

Thanks for the tip!

Do you know of any posts concerning the reliability of alternate sources?

Ken
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
Yes, it's best to do some homework on a device before purchase if you plan to root it or install alternate ROMS.

Sources for the various GApps packages can be found in the instruction thread I referred you to earlier.

Even CM 10 includes camera and Bluetooth fluff on the NT-- not functional, of course. Theoretically running a more up-to-date OS extends the useful life of the device. App development eventually leaves older devices in the dust, although not completely. I still have a generous complement of apps on my NST and that runs Eclair!

Anyway, the chief advantage of an OS like CM is that it is fluid, with people working to improve and enhance. Also, it overcomes some of the limitations imposed by B&N when they designed their "front end".

digixmax,

Thanks for the links! Somehow I thought the various builds were CyanogenMod and searched for "CyanogenMod Pico" but found nothing.

Looked over "Info on different package types" http://xdaforums.com/andr...pps-5-t3074660 and am interested in PICO MODULAR PACKAGE ANDROID 5.1 DOWNLOAD LINKS (~43MB).

Question: Is a Pico Modular package available for Android 4.4.4	KitKat? Am guessing No.

To restate I would like to use my Nook Tablet 16 Only as a Multimedia Player and for reading DOCs and PDFs.

Since I only side load apps is it possible to eliminate Google Play Store, Google Calendar Sync, and the following Play Store application and leave only the core Google system base?

Am trying to do my homework so have been searching for early articles about the Nook Tablet.

Found "How To Sideload (Almost) Any Android App On The Nook Tablet" by K. T. Bradford http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/11/16/how-to-sideload-android-apps-nook-tablet/

Am wondering if this Nook originally had OS 1.4.0? Does anyone know how to find out? If yes is there an easy way to go back to it? That way I would get a baseline. If no I hope someone has found a workaround!

The 1st app I would like to install is a File Manager and would appreciate any recommendations.

Since OS 1.4.3 is listed as Android 2.3 checked Google Store for FMs that will run on this or older and found X-plore File Manager 3.78 (2.3), File Manager (File transfer) by Cheetah Mobile Tools (Varies with device?),

SD File Manager 1.0.9 by MobilDev (2.3), File Manager by 1.1 by IT STARS (2.3), File Manager 1.31 by xFrame Labs Tools (2.3)

Hi champ1919,

Thanks for the link! I have a lot of catching up to do concerning Open GApps!

Liked DL page http://opengapps.org/ for giving a quick overview of all the options!

Saw there is an X86 ver for 4.4 to 6.0 Nano. Am wondering if I can install these on a std 32bit PC?

Have been searching and found "Advanced Features and Options", "Removal of Stock applications", and "Universal Application Removals"

https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options These give you a lot of options!

Any good tutorials?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Droidriven:
OK guys, I'm updating a 16GB Nook tablet, it has 1.4.3.

From what I've pieced together, I need to create a bootable TWRP sdcard and flash the root file then flash the TWRP 3.0.0-0(the acclaim works for the old Nook?) Then flash CM12 or CM13?

I'm starting from scratch and these guides are rather old so I'm trying to make sure I use the most up to date recovery and ROM available but with everything spread through different guides its a little confusing to decide which steps and files I need and which ones I don't considering I'm trying to go from stock to TWRP and CM12/CM13 in as few steps as possible.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
You can look at this thread for combinations of files that worked. I'm in there later in the mix and that's how I ended up with CM 12.1.

Looking at the SD card I prepared I can see everything I used except for the TWRP version because it was renamed. At this point I would just use one of the versions mentioned in the thread I just referenced for someone who succeeded at 12.1 (or if you want 13.0, there is a separate thread for that). Just know that TWRP gives error messages during the preparation process (at least my version did--mentioned in the thread) and these can be ignored.

The rest of the files I used with success:

cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K6-acclaim.zip

flashable_CWM_6.0.4.8_chrmhoffmann.zip

open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20160109.zip

FWIW, the file size on the TWRP version I used shows as 7516 KB.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PepeladZ:
Hello Ken,

All CMs are somewhat slower that stock Android from BN. You will also loose the proper behavior of tablet when you connect cable to charger - stock OS wakes tablet from sleep when tablet gets connected to charger, CM does not, so you will have to wake it up first, otherwise tablet will not charge. Then, under every CM build RAM (under 'About Tablet') is stated 672 Mb, but under stock OS RAM is 1024Mb. Don't know is B&N trick us or not.

Next, if tablet left asleep for some prolonged period its time/date gets frozen, so when you wake it up it will show some wrong time/date and it does not auto-update on wake up, so you will have to manually update it by going to proper menu in Settings.

Tablet definitely lags compared to stock (in my opinion), especially when apps upgrade themselves and/or you turn on the WiFi - it's total hell. Also, apps like FB can take forever to install.

I tried CM12.1 but decided to get back to CM10.2.1. I also use alternative launcher, cause native one works in landscape mode and nothing made it to run in portrait.

Btw, in newer CMs you will loose access to some of the internal storage and to recover it - you will have to repartition your tablet.

Hope my info helps a bit.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
This further reinforces my feeling that the CM flashings are somewhat idiosyncratic (at least on the Nook Tablet). I've run both 10.2.1 and 12.1 (current) on my tablet and never saw the clock update issue described. In 12.1 the AM/PM indicator had update issues, but I solved that by disabling the cLock widget and installing Chronus from the PlayStore.

Sluggish is as sluggish does, I guess. Running CM 12.1 is no more sluggish than my cheap KitKat LG smartphone I use as an mp3 player. I have to agree that sometimes the tablet just has a bad time of things. This happened a lot after my initial 12.1 installation and there were many odd things that needed fixing. I just kept at it until it is finally running as well as 10.2.1---even better since it now boots reliably every time, whereas with 10.2.1 there were many times when I would boot to a black (backlit) screen. So now I shut it down every night and boot up the next morning without any problem.

The moral seems to be that you just need to try. Keep a backup of the stock system in case you have "buyer's remorse". Don't give up right away. Reflash if things are just a mess, but if only a few things are wonky, work with the tablet for a week or so. It seems to get better after each reboot. Decide for yourself whether the reported sluggishness of the tablet is something that you notice for the apps you are using. A lot of it is about expectations.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PepeladZ:
The thing is that I tried one of the latest 12.1 with the same results. I don't think the clock problem comes from cLock widget but is related to deep sleep mode or something like that.

Well, I switched to CM since 10.x and followed along till 13.x came out. So I was on 12.1 for quite some time and tried fresh builds quite frequently, doing 'full reset' install. Btw, I've never had unreliable boots.

Yes, turning it off is the only way to keep clock right.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NickDFR:
The difference between nano and pico packages is that while nano gives you Play Store and other cool stuff that I consider a must (Swype libraries, for example), pico does not and I think only has Play Store and the adapters for Google sync (contacts and the like). I personally use nano and it is my favorite. What I think is the best website for downloading these is opengapps.org (just search for open Gapps on google, it's the first one). It has all the packages, for all (I think) architectures and for Android 4.4 and up.

As for what ROM, to install, I recommend CM 11 or its LiquidSmooth variant (speed-oriented ROM). Android Kitkat has the best balance between solved bugs, features and performance (not only that but it was the last Android version with a UI based on black. Easier on the eyes.) If you're looking for performance, I'd recommend either LiquidSmooth or CM11. CM12 and up is really cool, but it'll kill your eyes in the dark (unless you use themes) and the UI is a lot more complex, more animations and such.

Overall, for what you're going to use the tablet, I recommend a CM11 based ROM, such as the official build or LiquidSmooth. Here's a warning, though; don't even look at the Touchscreen Firmware Flasher app (there's a good chance it's included in your ROM, even on CM10.1). It screwed me over. I have used it successfully many times, and it's very easy to do so, but its only purpose (as you've most likely guessed by now) is to install a superior touch driver. If you don't need more than 2-point multitouch (necessary in apps like Colossatron and gesture-driven launchers, but you said you weren't using those), then don't install it. Always expect the worst. Makes you be prepared, plus, if you do, you can only be pleasantly surprised.

Hope I helped you out
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KenithO:
TheAnonymusModUser,

Thanks for all your tips! Agree with you about using Kitkat CM 11 or its LiquidSmooth variant.

Hey. So we all have to switch phones are factory reset sometimes and I personally like to copy over my MMS and SMS from my old phones to the new. I use SMS backup + to handle SMS which it does quite well (a bit slow on restores but it's understandable) but my current MMS backup solution, mybackup pro isn't perfect. So you can use it to backup almost anything but I exclusively use it for MMS. Anyway, my issue is that when I restore MMS my group chats are messed up. In the group chat thread, all of my messages load but, the other people's doing end up in that thread. They go into thier own personal thread which makes everything a little messy. Does anyone have a good MMS backup and restore solution?
