Mine does not lag at all, but other users with other installed apps report lag.

I am not sure you call it a lag but it does not feel as zippy as my old TP which the Nook has essentially replaced. I am not sure what it is but I can't put my finger on it.
Regarding the question, I would say yes to purchasing it if you don't need a camera or gps. However it does have a top notch screen and an microSD slot which is a plus.
I would buy another one if this one got damaged or lost. I don't have the lag others talk about not sure why they do and I don't but worth a try especially if you can get it local as you can return it if you don't like it.

Hi All, bit of a random question but I'm considering getting a Nook HD+ in exchange for my Asus Transformer tf101 which I've had for a little while now. My plan had been to make sure whatever I got next was an officially supported Cyanogen device or at least has a decent level of developer support as I've had bad luck with companies giving up on their devices just after I buy them.
Is the HD+ official? Worth the swap?
I think i could pritty much do a straight swap money wise and I've loved my Nook Simple touch (rooted of course!)

The is no "official" ROM/support from Cyanogen for the HD/HD+.
Ah okay so it's just for the colour and nook tablet then?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk HD
Indeed, yes. There is however unofficial support for CyanogenMod here at XDA for the Nook HD and HD+.
To find out the full list of officially supported CyanogenMod devices; check out CyanogenMod's site: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Devices# (you may need to click "show all devices" besides the filter).
Regardless, even those devices which are officially supported - not all of them are updated to the latest version of CM. For example, the HTC Wildfire is still stuck on CM7 and I doubt it maybe updated to CM10.1.
I will add though that running CM10 on my HD+ emmc is running flawlessly for me, and I consider it more than worth my upgrade from the Color. I don't know why it couldn't be an official release with the solidity of it. I don't really know Cyanogenmod's procedures and determining factors there.

Thanks for the responses guys. Think I'll have to look seriously at making the switch.

Was wondering if this card like this will work in my Nook HD before I order one. Seems to be a pretty good price I think.

Great price on Amazon! Picked up the exact same card last week and am using it in my Nook HD+. I have been running CWM10.1 PureSD on it for a week now without any issues. Has booted up from the card every time so far.
I've got that card in my Nook, no problems so far
Thanks everybody. Got one ordered. I know locally they want much more.

Same here, no issues whatsoever with bookbokan's hybrid install.
I just saw this on Amazon and am so happy to find this thread here! Just purchased. I was needing a bigger card for backups and storage, woohoo.
Forgive my noobness
I just ordered one of these as well. Assuming I use this as a CM bootdisk do I still have the rest of the card as available storage?

I am using this same card to run the CM 10.2 SD card version. Works really well I do still get reboots every so often but performance is good.

If you mean you are installing CM on SD, yes it uses all of the card once installed.

Do you all leave it as exFAT, or reformat it as fat32?

Fat32. Although since about 7/8 exfat is supposed to be supported.

I use the 32gb ultra version as well. Excellent card, no problems. I completely set the card up through my Motorola Bionic since i dont have a microsd reader haha.
I've bought a nook hd plus,after checking,it seems I've got the dodgy chip.
I'm planning on putting 10.1.3 on it,and obviously not mess with the trim kernel fix.
My question is,as long as I stay away from the trim lagfix fix will my nook be okay or should I return it?,I know it'll suffer some
lag but is that the worse thing I'll encounter?
Or will this dodgy chip eventually break my nook and make it
unusable?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,thanks.

I think the only effects you will see is lag. And you can sometimes clear that up by doing a nandroid backup and restore with CWM.

Thanks a lot for the reply Leapinlar,much appreciated,if that's the case i'll definitely keep the nook then,I can put up with a bit of leg,I was just worried there might be worst errors because of the chip problem,though mines the FwRev: 0×06 version which might have been patched,though not totally sure.
Once again,cheers pal,really want to keep the nook hd plus,its a fantastic bit of kit for the price.

Theres an app in the playstore,run it,and it'll show the chip your device has,if its a MAG2GA,then you've got the faulty chip?,take no notice if it says sane chip,thats misleading when it comes to the nook hd.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check

For a nook HD, do class 10 cards work? I've read that class 4 is recommended on the HD+, but what about on the HD?

How exactly does a class 10 worse? It is like the freezes the HD+ gets?

No, the difference mainly comes when trying to run a ROM off of the SD. It runs slower. But it also sometimes does not work well for use as a boot CWM card. It may refuse to boot. And lastly, it sometimes will give i/o errors when used as a normal SD and may take more than one attempt to read or write. But that is less troublesome than the first two issues.

It's interesting that a class 4 is faster. How exactly does that work out?
I guess I'll be heading to microcenter for their class 4 cards.

It has to do with small file read/write speed, which class 4 does better than class 10. There is a whole thread devoted to this on the Nook Color forum. It still applies to the HD/HD+ too. See here:

Don't get the micro center brand, though, they're not as good - quite bad actually. Get the SanDisk brand. I I had the micro center brand when I first started, and had to return it for the SanDisk. Not sure what the difference is, but it was significantly faster after I made the switch.
Now I'm running on EMMC so it doesn't matter that much. But if you plan on running the ROM on the card, get the SanDisk.

I've actually sent back my hd for hd+ and now have an option of buying a Samsung class 6 shown here: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/115836/shnoop---3-pack-of-16gb-samsung-class-6-microsd-memory-cards
Would that particular SD card be suitable? I actually will be using all 3 of them so the price isn't bad at all for my needs, but I'm not sure how well these class 6 do on random write. My new hd+ does have 32 go of storage so I suppose I should just install to internal but I'd like to have both stock and custom rom available

Look at this thread. It has benchmarks for various brands and classes. I don't know if that card is in the thread somewhere, but you can search to see.

Thanks for the help. Decided to just give up on stock nook and just install cm to internal and ditch the microsd rom idea. Android really makes it better as a daily driver tab for the family to use.
I have a nook HD+ and finally getting around to doing a cm 10 or great mod to it. I haven't done this type of thing since the old nook color. I know back when I did that one there were specific brand and grade of sd cards needed to do the mods. Is that still true. I can get a samsun class 10 pretty cheap but don't know if they will work to mod the device.. please advice thanks

It should work fine. You only have to worry about brand and class if you plan to run the ROM from SD.

SanDisk Class 4 is still the best, although some say the class 10 works passably.
