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.

Anyone else have the issue that the touch screen isn't calibrated with respect to on text? I'm about one letter to the left and a little below the on screen text. Anyone know if this can be recalibrated?

I'm having issues with the notifications. I have to tap them 5+ times before anything does anything. There are times when I need to put the nook to sleep and wake it up before it works.

I think everyone has that issue. Notification is just hard to activate.

I have a Nook Color, CM7.2 EMMC. Does the Nook HD have updated hardware internally, improved enough to justify replacing my NC?

Yes. Much improved. The screen alone is worth it. Add to that, faster processor and double the ram.

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
Sent from my nookhdplus using Tapatalk 4 Beta
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 spoke to soon , tapatalk is back to bumping me out after I read a thread... so any ideas would be gratefully accepted please

my nook hd+ had CW installed on emmc(it was done long time ago). All of a sudden it stopped turning on. See attached video file. I tried any combinations of buttons possible, tried to boot up from SD card but no luck. All I get is black screen and the charger light coming up for 2-3 second on green, then it turns in amber for 2-3 seconds and then the light is gone. That's all I have showing.

Thanks for the quick reply. My problem is that the device is used by my children and I installed NOOK about a year ago and do not remember how to install, one thing I know it works without sd card and run CM10 . Sorry.

Hi Fixsony. I am having the exact same problems as you. I flashed the CM10.2 M1 for a month ago, and got this problem yesterday. I was able to fix it the first time by inserting the SD card and pull it out again, but now I can't get rid of the problem.
To all, and especially leapinlar:
- I can turn on the device, but the screen doesn't show the "Nook" boot screen - only turns on the display to show "black" screen (if you notice on the video you can see that the screen turns on).
- I am not able to boot into the CWM recovery by SD card or without the card.
- The Nook turns on itself when the device is powered off and the charge cable is plugged in (as normal), and the charge icon turns from green into orange. My battery was 98% before this happened.
Hope somebody can help.
After a thorough research and an advice from others I have found that our common problem is in a deep discharge of the battery (the wall charger cannot start charging the battery the way it should). I am thinking of returning my device since I bought it in July, but I still have one question. If I had CM previously installed on my device, will it affect my warranty?

As long as you have it back to pure stock, there is no way they will know. Flash one of my plain stock zips from my HD/HD+ CWM thread and do a factory reset with CWM and they can't tell.

If it does not turn on, they will not know at the store what is wrong. They should exchange it.

Thank you all. Solved the problem in the shop replaced under warranty.
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.
