Lack of auto-brightness on hd+???

I love the nook line, I really do. Got the nook color when it first came out; tossed it to the wife when the nook tablet was released and desperately waited til christmas for the hd+.
But the one thing that has frustrated me to no end is the lack of auto-brightness!

That is true on stock, but CM10 on HD+ has it.

CM10 shows auto-brightness, but it isn't selectable. Further, is there even a sensor on the HD+ to support auto-brightness?

I think you are right that there is not a sensor. I manually toggled the setting in stock settings database and it did nothing.
Edit: I also just ran z-test on it and it says it has no light sensor.

I dont understand how an ereader cannot have a light sensor to automatically adjust the screen brightness, specially that the Android settings are not exactly a one touch adjust. Need to look for a widget now.

Well, it does not have one.
And you can put various brightness levels on the notification bar. So that when you tap it it changes level.

A couple of tricks.
If you have Tasker create a Task called Full Brightness, and set Display Brightness to 255.
Then if you have something like Nova Pro, in Settings go to Gestures and Buttons, then for say Swipe Up set a Shortcut to Task Shortcut, and here select Full Brightness.
Now all you need to do to see your Nook outdoors is ensure you are on the home screen and wipe up. Easier than trying to spot a widget or get to the Quick Settings.

Cm10.1 emmc - tapatalk issues on Nook HD+

Firstly many thanks to all for creating the cm installs for the nook hd+
I was running cm10 from sd for the last month and decided to move on to installing cm10.1 on emmc using the latest hd
Install was all rather smooth thanks to the great instructions, I've found a few apps I can't use go launcher ex being one of them showing as incompatible which seems strange, anyone else running it successfully? I did try installing from an apk but it ran rather sluggishly when moving between screens. Running with Nova launcher to at least have a dock
My other rather annoying issue is using tapatalk either 2 or 4 whenever I come out of a thread it says connecting to server and returns to the top of the forum rather than staying in the thread group - anyone else experiencing this, I didn't have this issue on cm10?
Thanks all...

Anyone any thoughts on my tapatalk issues - do I need to reinstall from scratch. Hard one to search for with lots of messages with footer saying sent using tapatalk

Well gladly I think I have resolved this myself , I had changed my device in build.prop to get Zinio to work but that seemed to affect tapatalk. Changing to the asus Nexus 7 it all seems to be working ok again like I was used to before.
Still not compatible with go launcher, but tapatalk being a pain was my main concern

Well after more playing around I think I had been playing with some of the developer options that caused me the grief... all back to normal now and back loving cm10.1 tough I may apply the tablet ui mod

[Q] Nook HD+ Hardware defect?

Hi,
i habe a problem with my Nook HD+.
Installed CM 10.1 out of the box, but the Nook freezes with horizontal lines on the the screen and reboots.
Same with the stockrom!
Anybody know this problem? Seems to be a hardware issue.

I agree, looks like hardware issue. Time for a warranty exchange it sounds like to me.

[Q] How to change DPI on HD+

Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to change the DPI on the Nook HD+? I'm running CM 10.1.3. I wanted to lower the DPI to see if it would decrease lag, because the HD runs much better and the smaller number of pixels seems to be the only possible reason. Thanks!

Go to my HD/HD+ Tips thread linked in my signature and read item 7. That is for stock, but the process is the same for CM.

What is the earliest supported version of Cyangenmod for the Nook HD+?

I mean all hardware works and all patches applied. Since I have a Nook with the faulty Samsung flash, please keep that in mind too. I'm currently on Marshmallow and while I'm impressed with the technical achievement, I'm not personally happy with the performance.
I ended up doing something similar on my old Nook Color, reverting to CM7 for performance reasons and it extended my ability to use it for another year or so. I'd like to do that again with the Nook HD+.

Then you need to go to CM 10.1.3 stable. It is mature, very fast, stable, and no worry of the trim bug hitting you. You can get it at the Cyanogenmod site. It does for the HD+ what CM 7 did for the NC.

Thank you!
I mean no disrespect to any of the developers who have done a phenomenal thing in porting the Nook HD+ to the latest version of Android, and it works impressively for such older hardware. I will probably try it again later in the future, but for now I just want to reset the device to work the way it did when I first got it and get back to doing my stuff on it.
Edit: This was absolutely the right choice for me. The Nook is now running much cooler to the touch and performance feels much faster.
Can anyone recommend a xposed version to me that works well with CM 10? Also which version of TWRP will be best for that version?

Latest twrp is what I would use. As for xposed, I would get the app, and let it do the dirty work of picking what works for what ROM for you. It will detect which sdk is used, and then default at the latest version available under that sdk.
