So since android is open source, would it be legal to upgrade a Nook HD to lollipop, and if so, how could I?

It is legal but voids any warranty you may have with B&N. There are lots of threads in the development forum telling you how to do it. If you want to go to Kit Kat or lower go to the dummies thread linked in my signature.

Thanks. Can you give me a suggestion for a version of android to use? I like the older versions more, but I fear it won't be compatible with newer apps.

I always recommend cm10.1.3. It is fast and stable. Not sure if it supports apps2sd, you'll just have to try it. Follow the dummies thread linked in my signature to install it.

Latest Lolipop for Ovation dated 29.08.2015 from DMaces runs pretty well also. Highly recommended. You can find it in the developer section of this forum.

Hi all,

I'm running cm12, lollipop 5.1.1, on a nook HD+, and I can't get access to a USB Drive. I installed the unofficial August 3rd build. I'm using the standard USB power cord with a female to female USB adapter. I have run several USB host apps to try to resolve the problem with no luck. I get a message that I need and s3c host adapter driver. Any idea how I can resolve this issue?

Thank you,

Not sure I can from the device and software I am currently using, but look in the development folder for cm12.1 by Amaces. Has both ovation and hummingbird ROMs and kernels.
See if the following link works.

Apps2sd is supported under cm10.1.3. I recently uninstalled cm 11 because of constant instability and installed 10.1.3 under your advice. :good: I haven't had any mishaps yet. :)

The Nook's (HD/HD+) hardware prevents it from using any version above cm 10.1.3 without performance issues. But overall, a fantastic value when rooted correctly.
