Cyanogen Official - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All, bit of a random question but I'm considering getting a Nook HD+ in exchange for my Asus Transformer tf101 which I've had for a little while now. My plan had been to make sure whatever I got next was an officially supported Cyanogen device or at least has a decent level of developer support as I've had bad luck with companies giving up on their devices just after I buy them.
Is the HD+ official? Worth the swap?
I think i could pritty much do a straight swap money wise and I've loved my Nook Simple touch (rooted of course!)

The is no "official" ROM/support from Cyanogen for the HD/HD+.

Ah okay so it's just for the colour and nook tablet then?

Indeed, yes. There is however unofficial support for CyanogenMod here at XDA for the Nook HD and HD+.
To find out the full list of officially supported CyanogenMod devices; check out CyanogenMod's site: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Devices# (you may need to click "show all devices" besides the filter).
Regardless, even those devices which are officially supported - not all of them are updated to the latest version of CM. For example, the HTC Wildfire is still stuck on CM7 and I doubt it maybe updated to CM10.1.

I will add though that running CM10 on my HD+ emmc is running flawlessly for me, and I consider it more than worth my upgrade from the Color. I don't know why it couldn't be an official release with the solidity of it. I don't really know Cyanogenmod's procedures and determining factors there.

Thanks for the responses guys. Think I'll have to look seriously at making the switch.

Xoom vs nexus 7 jelly bean vid

Hey everyone,
Made this video to compare the 2., You can see the clear winner as far as 'butter' experience goes. I'm happy with both, but I thought I share

Xoom looks so washed out in color compared to the 7......for a nightly on the zoom it runs pretty good
you could have cleaned the screen on the Xoom before you made the vid!! lol
I should have. Lol

we had a kindle. Lovely device... until the nexus came out.
You can't even utilize things like Google voice, maps with gps etc.
But I guess that still counts. I would never put the kindle in the same category as these devices though. We had one until 2 days ago. It sold within 10 minutes, which was $135

Perfect.
You're gonna love the nexus 7 if you are coming from the kindle. Like I said, we are coming from a fire, and it's night and day. Maybe if I rooted the kf, it would have been closer. But I don't like to root devices my other half is using. I only root the stuff I use.

guys, quick little update. I shut off the live wallpaper on the xoom, and it's considerably faster now. Still not 'just like nexus 7' but much much smoother. I'm gonna make another video now and you guys will see the improvement in smoothness and performance. FWIW, I also went from 110 to 111 nightly.

I was going to say... you kind of crippled the Xoom having the wallpaper up. While the n7 was made for jellybean I think its more a product of having such newer hardware in the n7 compared to the Xoom. You have faster memory, quad core, and a more powerful GPU on the n7. Even though PPI settings are set higher for the n7, effectively you have less going on, less screen real estate etc for the same or similar resolution. I'd like to see the build.prop edited on the Xoom the same as the n7 if it could be displayed without crashing with everything possible configured the same. I think you are still going to see the fact that the n7 is a generation newer processor wise will still beat out the Xoom.
On the other hand, it still looks pretty nice on the Xoom. Jb breathes new life into dual core devices!

indeed...
video is rendering still, when done, here is the link

As he correctly points out in the video, he's using a custom hacked together ROM on the Xoom vs. a stable ROM on the Nexus 7. What he doesn't mention is that the Xoom ROM is a port. It's not compiled from source...it can't be. Google hasn't dropped the Xoom source code for JB into AOSP yet.
Let's compare this again when the Xoom actually has source code available and someone compiles a raw AOSP ROM for it, thus we can compare apples to apples.

you think Google builds aosp source code for every device? your smokin!
hash code built jellybean from SOURCE and created the device tree, added necessary drives, and compiled. far from a port, I would only assume the same was done for the Xoom. a port? cmon!
Your accent is ridiculous. Good comparison though.

OK you're right, I stand corrected. You can probably build for the wingray and stringray out of what's there now, but there are still no binaries for JB for either the Xoom or Nexus S. I'd imagine things will still run better once that stuff is available, particularly updated graphics drivers.

Official Jelly Bean.

Any chance for it, what do you think?
Yesterday Samsung announces a JB for Galaxy S III. :/

Popularity of the Galaxy 8.9 will reduce to subzero after 20 November: Kindle Fire HD 8.9.... Simply Wow!!
If Samsung won't answer to that, they will lose a significant part of their market share.
Fire HD Won't Have Jelly Bean Either
I don't think that the Galaxy 8.9 will drop down to zero popularity when the Fire HD hits the streets as long as ICS becomes available for the Galaxy 8.9. Sure, the Fire HD will have newer hardware but it will still be running Amazon's version of Android. While they both have LTE variants, the Fire HD model will be selling for $499. I currently run stock 3.2 on my ATT Galaxy 8.9. For me, the biggest problem is that several applications, i.e. MLB.TV, ESPN3/Watch, and Crackle., do not work in Honeycomb. I get get around this by running Spashtop on the Galaxy 8.9 and connecting to my desktop for these applications. If we get ICS, more apps should work on the Galaxy 8.9.
I don't really see the new Amazon tablet as a competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. The reason people like the Samsung is because it's significantly smaller and lighter than a 10" tablet. The Amazon tablet is only slightly smaller, and even a little heavier, than something like a Samsung 10" tablet. It's main selling point will be its price IMHO.

Oh come on, please, stop dreaming. Sammy only think about how getting money and updating is not profitable. The are thinking we should be thankful to update our devices to ICS(which officially was only released for 7310 in the USA). JB not a chance even in the next century(time unit used by them to update devices).

I think there is every chance we will see JB as the OTA update for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 has been leaked, so the tab 2 will get it whilst the 8.9 isn't that much different in specs so don't see why the 8.9 wont see some JB love
I'd like to think that we'l get JB, but I doubt we will. Unless we all petition Sammy and beg like dogs for it. I'd very happily settle for vanilla JB without any TW skinning.

GTab 2 7" and 10" are OMAP4430 devices, the GTab 8.9 is a Tegra 2 device. Big difference there.
With Samsung's delays, I doubt we'll see any official JellyBean update for the 8.9.
Maybe Sammy just skip ICS for P7300 and looking straight to bring Jelly Bean goodness :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Building from source for nook hd

So I'm slowly syncing some repositories on tethered sprint 4g from my gnex. When its finished I will hopefully be able to build something and add a bit more flavor to this nook HD section.
My question is, when building for this device are there any special precautions I need to take? Using an AOSP supported device for the last year has been so easy. Any tips will be much appreciated

My only source of internet connection is currently crap, no hope of uploading anything on Sprint 3g.
But so far, the only bug I've noticed that isn't apparent in verygreen's cm10.1 build is that brightness goes to max on screen rotation, otherwise it's all good to go.

[A] Don't be scared

Most likely people should stop worrying about device support because most likely if your device is not on their support list you can either port the ROM yourself or Most likely people on xda will make ports for your device most likely I will be doing this on the HTC Rezound B&N Nook Color (1st gen) Kindle Fire (First Gen) and the LG Optimus Zone

Correct - the list of devices was the ones already done or nearly done. There's a whole load more that will be supported.

Sent from my PAC-d Vibrant ^_^
Not all devices will be supported, I guess.
My device, for instance, has a very tiny community and the only custom ROM we have is stock-based. Of course, I tried to port CM on it, but as I have no skills in development whatsoever, I failed.
Also, I'm not criticizing anyone. It's a device not many people have, even though it's a high-end device. It's just not sold worldwide.

as doctor_droid said, I do have an Asus PadFone Infinity.
not a very well known device, in fact.
I'm currently working on porting CM to the Padfone 2, porting the Padfone infinity should be pretty much the same as the Padfone 2, if you want you can message me and I'll give you details on how far I've gotten and I should be able to help you.
Once CM is ported it should be pretty easy to port Omni.
PMing you.
BTW if you remember from PadFoneClub, I'm the one who built CWM for the Infinity.

Surprised by lack of development

I had the Asus TF201 and TF700, then gave the TF201 to my sister. I considered getting the TF701, but the lack of development has me reconsidering now.
Also, though I've never cared for any Samsung tablets, their newly announced Note Pro has me thinking of getting it once it's released. Since getting the N7 FHD just before launch, I've barely used my TF700 anyway. There isn't TOO much difference in display size, and the N7 FHD is much easier/comfortable to hold when lying in bed and reading or gaming so I grab it 99% of the time. I think having the 12.2" display on the Note Pro will be better than a 10.1" for reading and gaming too. I had the Note 2, then got the Note 3 on launch day. I like that the Note Pro looks a lot like the Note 3 as well. My only complaint is that the Wi-Fi only version of the Note Pro has the Exynos Octa-Core. The LTE version has the 800, but I have no use for an LTE capable tablet. I wish the Wi-Fi only version had the Snapdragon 800, or even the Tegra 4.
So, that brings me back to considering the TF701. Do you guys think development will pick up soon? I know it will eventually pick up at least a little, but don't wanna wait for the device to be close to a year old before there is a large rom selection.
What are the thoughts of you current TF701 owners? Are you still happy with your purchase? Does the lack of development bother you, or do you normally even flash roms to begin with?

Well it will but only when Asus will and can fix the build quality problems very very soon!
When not then this combo will be a big fail for them.
Still everybody here is very curious if builds from November and later are OK.

Well it won't be cm11 based but it will be a version of CROMi-X for the TF701T from 4.3 sources.
I love the tablet, and the third dock is great. Amazon finally got the updated docks, and while the build quality doesn't feel as nice as the tf201, I can get Wi-Fi at twice the distance and I don't have the crippling lag. I an a crack flasher and the lack if Roms has bothered me, but honestly the stock rooted ROM is pretty close to perfect for me. I just miss my nightlies.
Who was the supplier you ordered the dock from on Amazon? NewEgg?
To cheer us all up I just unpacked the latest Asus update, repacked the kernel so it allows rooting and adb commands, inserted busy box, removed the Asus dial home apps and rooted it
Flashed it and it works fine
Will release it tomorrow now

You should definitely check out sdbags' rom! He does great work, and his roms don't remove features like CM roms do! Flashing CM roms on a feature-rich device makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! Well, of course that is unless you simply don't like using the features on that particular device...
