[ROM][NOOKHD/HD+][EMMC] UNOFFICIAL CM12.0 NookHD/HD+ (LP 5.0.x) [2015-02-17]

[Hashcode]

UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12.0 for NookHD/HD+ (Ovation/Hummingbird)

*** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! WHILE I TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE WORKING KERNELS/ROMS, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS SOFTWARE OR ANYTHING I'VE WORKED ON SUDDENLY FRIES YOUR DEVICE. ***


CHECK KNOWN ISSUES BEFORE FLASHING. MAY NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR DAILY USE.

I know I'm not very common around the Nook forums, but I happen to own a NookHD+ (Ovation) (thanks to verygreen) and thought I'd take some time to update the Android build for Lollipop support. I've installed this build on my own device, and I'm quite pleased with it as an *ALPHA* release.

This may not be good enough for your parent's Nook HD/HD+ or for a novice Android user which is uncomfortable with bugs or future issues.

NOTE: CM12 is not a finished product and it will continue to get better over time. See KNOWN ISSUES section for more information.

Updated EMMC TWRP 2.8.3.0 builds for Ovation/Hummingbird
[Coming up with install instructions and a flashable .zip to update the emmc recovery. For now, you *should* be able to install CM12 w/ your current recovery -- MAKE A BACKUP FIRST]

Download Google Apps for Android 5.0:

(Choose newest gapps-lp-* file and use the "Download Now" button)

NOTES:

• First boot after a clean wipe will take a LONG time. Be patient. (Like 7-8 minutes on boot animation)
• If updating from Kitkat, you may need to move the /data/misc/wifi directory out of the way if you have any wifi connection issues. In Lollipop, the Nook's are setup for using AOSP standard wpa_supplicant as opposed to TI's modified wpa_supplicant, and there may be some Kitkat settings which cause issues.

Rock dude! You are everywhere. I have the kindle HD 8.9 as well and running your build there too!

 

[extrem0]

Amazing to see you here @Hashcode! Thanks for your hard work!

 

[rpadula]

Time to jump to the L bandwagon!

I need to push the updated sources for building Ovation to the CyanogenMod cm-12.0 branches first. And then I'll grab the hummingbird device git and make the needed updates there and have a tester validate the changes. Maybe a week(?) as I'm also very busy with work. :/

Hash, it's great to see you in the Nook forum and much thanks for bringing LP to this device. You are certainly among other things, (good things) King of OMAP.

Thanks again Hash!

I had a hard reboot today while I was browsing a book in Play Books. When I checked /proc/last_kmsg this is what stuck out at me:

[23159.230377] omapdss DISPC error: VID1_FIFO_UNDERFLOW, disabling VID1
[23159.288665] omapdss DISPC error: VID2_FIFO_UNDERFLOW, disabling VID2

[23160.301513] PVR_K:(Error): SGXInitialise: Wait for uKernel initialisation failed [0, ]

So it looks like we're getting some kind of GPU/Display controller buffer crash. I'll see if I can trace it down as I get time, but for now I'll add to the XDA Bug Reporter section.

Why nook hd is neglected so much??

I am expecting Android 5.0 based cm12 for nook hd.. Feeling so sad. Amazon fire hd, nook hd+ already got cm12 but not my pretty nook.. You developer guys don't have nook or what??

This thread still has only 2 pages. Did you read it?

That may fit with an issue I had as well. I was browsing through a Google Worksheet using Sheets and the screen flickers. When I tried to print the sheet the device rebooted. I didn't look at an logs yet to see what the issue was.

I have already posted this info in the bug reports section but figured if anyone misses that, it's here.

1. Reboot to recovery is not working. When selected from the advanced power menu, it will instead reboot to the OS.

2. Recent apps menu has a graphical glitch. It will display recent apps as a black box.

3. OK Google is flakey. If you set it up to "detect from any screen", it will bork all system sounds. Unchecking that setting in Google Now, will restore system sound. If you set it up to detect just from the search app, it will somewhat work. It won't kill the system sounds but will be very slow to detect your voice and most of the time, miss most of what you said.

4. Netflix doesn't work. When you select something to watch, it will just stall at the loading screen. This is also an issue on other OMAP devices with Lollipop, may possibly be due to drm??? Fortunately, there is a pretty good workaround for all of us Netflix fans. Here is a version( 3.0.0 ) that will work and the UI is not that old. It's from Android Police on AFH and is clean. Once you install it, make sure you don't update it from Play Store. or you'll be back to a non-working version.

5. Titanium Backup not working with the built-in superuser. If you try to restore apps, it will just hang indefinitely. I didn't put this in bug reports because it seems to be an issue with Titanium Backup and built-in superuser with Lollipop across other devices. As a workaround, use Chainfire's SuperSU beta 2.44, which I believe is the most current one. http://download.chainfire.eu/693/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.44.zip

Overall, the build in itself is pretty stable and knowing Hashcode from previous devices, he will do his best to get this device up to speed.

Issue with Wifi after clean install of CM12

Hi,

I have noticed that after clean install of CM12 on my Nook HD+ I do not have sdcard "directory" any more but "0" directory where all system files were installed. However ES file explorer can't find SDCARD and WiFi is on oly after reboot. When I turn it off I can't make it on back without reboot. (Bluetooth can be switched on and off - no problem).
My Nook apk installed - no problem - but since my attempt to log in through it to my Nook account is crashing every time.

Did I messed up something? Why I do not have sdcard any more?

Thanks for help - Stanislaw, Gdansk, Poland
