I'm running the M4 right now.

Just install M6 via cwm recovery? Or do I need to do anything specific?

Installed CM11 M6

I just installed the M6. Everything was running great until I had to plug in the charger. Now I am also getting the screen flicker. I did not clear the caches and I am using ART. As for ART I have not noticed that it is any faster than dalvik. I will probably switch back to test.

I had a working CM10.2 so I downloaded the cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip from the first post in the EMMC CM11 Install - updated 1/18 thread in the developers forum to my Nooks download folder. Then I downloaded the M6 snapshot from the get ovation builds link on the same page to my downloads folder. Finally I got the latest Google apps signed zip. All 3 downloaded to my Nook downloads folder. I then booted the Nook with a cwm that I had from installing 10.2 and flashed the newer cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip to my internal emmc memory. Rebooted into the new recovery and flashed the cm11 m6 to internal emmc. Then flashed the google apps rebooted from recovery to cm11.

EMMC C11 Install - updated 1/18 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572

Latest Google apps http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...T134JI&usg=AFQjCNF5-cVMwChR1F7kICnKoFUjZ83OWg

I followed the For upgrades from CM10.x basic instructions on that page.

I find that the M builds aren't all that stable, even though they are considered to be. I haven't tried on a Nook yet, but on the Galaxy Nexus, the latest M6 constantly freezes my default launcher (Trebuchet) and I'm not the only one with this problem either (there are more similar cases on the CyanogenMod forum.)

Well, the Nook HD+ has a fairly reproducible bug. About 30% of the time I swipe down the notification bar it crashes the currently running app and freezes the screen (black screen). After about 10 sec. you are back on the homescreen.

Strange that this wasn't catched in the most basic stability tests.

This bug even appears without pulling down the notification area. Sometimes the screen just turns black and freezes for 10 sec. After that you are back on the home screen. Very annoying. Luckily this doesn't happen very often. Unluckily it is very difficult to reproduce...and thus to fix I assume.

I've got the bug too... :(

Is there any KitKat ROM for the Nook HD+ that's stable? and does not have these "hiccups"? I'm getting no touch sensitivity during these lock screen resets, and have to restart via the physical button. :eek:

Well I have using the M4 build, and apart from a some rare crashes, it has been rock solid.

I think I will stick with for now, and not risk getting the bugs that you guys are reporting in M6. Also, I have it set up just right for my needs and would hate to start from scratch if I install to M6.

Strange. I can always use the tablet after the hiccup just as before.

I would suggest you install the latest nightly. Since the bug is so obvious, they probably have already fixed it.

I put M6 on my HD for a while. I really missed all the Trebuchet tweaks that are available with 10.1 and 10.2 so I went back to 10.2.1 for now.
