Just picked up an HD+ a couple of days ago at the current sale price and so far, looks to be a pretty decent deal. Since Leapinlar made it so easy to go back to stock, I decided to just go with emmc as opposed to sdcard install. Thanks Leapinlar!
Anyway, I figured I'd just share my experience so far with porting some roms. Hoping that some folks may try it themselves and get one of them working properly. As the thread title suggests, I did have some success but unfortunately, not enough. :laugh: I am currently on verygreen's latest emmc release and am very familiar with his work with the Touchpad. Thanks verygreen!
So, I used verygreen's CM10.1 as a base with the following roms. These are the results using this very, very simple guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100836
1. AOKP Official for the Nexus 7 June 9th nightly
Booted without issue. Stuff that I tested that worked, Wifi, Rom Control, ribbons, tablet ui etc. Also, some programs that are important to me such as, Netflix, HBO GO worked properly. Did this with a complete wipe, factory reset, cache etc. Now, for the issues. For some reason, the rom did not have root, superuser wouldn't kick in and of course, all apps requiring root didn't work. In terminal, "su" resulted in permission denied. The workaround for this was simply flashing Chainfire's Supersu from CWM and all was good. Initially I tried installing Supersu from Play Store but that failed to work.
The next issue was more of a problem. Force close in settings/storage and in addition, the external sdcard was not recognized and the tab would not connect to my PC for MTP file transfer. I was unable to solve this issue with my limited experience, as I'm more the cut and paste tinkerer.
This was a dealbreaker for me, so on to the next rom.
2. Carbon Rom for the Galaxy Tab 2 from May 22nd
In a nutshell, I was thrilled with the results from this mix, as everything worked right out of the box. The issues were settings/storage force closed and the tab would not connect to PC via MTP. This one would have been very usable, just would have to take out my external sdcard and put it in a cardreader, or use Samba for file transfer. Carbon has many AOKP features, so tablet ui, ribbons, nav button features which are very cool, all worked. This one did not have root problems, external sdcard was recognized and it came very close to being a keeper for me.
3. Carbon Rom for Nook Tablet from May 28th
Simply put, I couldn't get it to boot, just bootlooped on the Cyanogenmod bootani.
Well, if anyone decides to try this, there are only 6 simple steps to follow. If it fails to boot, there is a slight variation you can try, which is replacing libandroidruntime.so... that may make a difference. FYI, I tried this with the Carbon Rom for the Nook Tab but no go.
I hope someone with more experience gives it a go, I'd love to see one of these roms working properly on the HD/HD+. I'm going to post a link to the Gtab 2 Carbon Rom by sevenup30, as that one came the closest to being a winner.
