Just installed CM on my Nook HD+... WOW!
Anyway, in the catagory of 'if it ain't broke, why did I fix it?"... In looking at settings, I noticed under 'display' that the Auto rotate wasn't checked (however, it was auto rotating just fine). I figured it should be checked, and now the home screens won't rotate (apps that are supposed to rotate still do so, it's only the home screens). I tried unchecking/ rechecking/restarting and a combination of those to no avail. Any ideas on this one?
And as long as I'm asking questions... the 'click' when typing is pretty annoying. I can't find an option to silence that?
Thanks!

Try going to settings, accessibility and see it it is checked there. Also checkbox in launcher settings.
The keyclick sound is found in settings, language and input, aosp keyboard, and the settings box to the right. There is a sound on keypress checkbox.

Yep, it was in the launcher settings. Dunno if that got auto unchecked or what, but now that it's checked, home screens rotate. Also, the keypress click is gone. Thanks, I really appreciate it! :victory:

Always have had auto brightness on, it works for me.
But, after adding the 'power' widget to the homescreen (which can control brightness settings) and fooling with the brightness a few times, i decided i wanted it set back to auto.
Went into the menus, and there is no tick box for auto anymore, in the brightness setting. Just the slider.
Took the widget off the homescreen, no change. Rebooted, still no change.
What gives?? Anyone else have this happen?

EDIT: Solved problem. Was the LCD density, i guess it squashed the box and hid the setting.
the widgets on screens, usually cycles through the different modes
just keep cycling until you get it back
or simply go into Settings > Display > Brightness (make sure check mark is green)
That's the thing though - there is no check box anymore!!
Very curious as to how a system setting could just disappear like that.
Settings - display - brightness and there it is just above the slider on the lrft ?
Is here for me and I also have the brightness widget.

i think it might be JM5 firmware you are using
i'm using the official JH2
I can't help with the problem, but I can say that I'm running JM5 and have the "Automatic brightness adjustment" checkbox in the "Sound and display" settings.

wow, that makes it even more weird and intriguing....
how did the [OP] managed to lose that check box?
Wish i knew. And i want it back! Pretty sure all i did was add the 'power' widget, play with it for a bit, and it was gone.
I am quite certain it was working right after the JM5 flash, although to be completely honest i did not actually check. If it wasn't working i think i would have noticed rather quickly, its pretty obvious when its doing its job.
Added screenshots for the skeptics.
i'm not skeptic, i just can't figure out how can it has dissapeared on its own, yet i can't figure out which software could do something like that.
seems like worse case scenario is to reflash the ROM again to get it back
Was it there after you changed your font? Try the stock one.
Alright, i figured it out. Might add this over in the pertinent thread, too.
It was the LCD density setting. I guess it squashed the box down so much that the check box was entirely hidden! Man, what an odd problem.
Thanks for the help!
Wow, thanks for sharing
this is something worth being Noted on the Wiki
anyone got time to make an entry?
No problem, i'd add it myself if i knew where to put it...?
Thanks for posting the solution! I ran into the same problem and i was perplexed as to what happened.
I think ever since CM nightly 37, my lockscreen is gone. No matter whether it's waking up from sleep, or reboot, my nook color never asked for password and anyone can access it!
I went to the setting -> location & security, the screen unlock option is still "change screen lock". Upon clicking it, I need to input my old password to change to a new one. However this is the only place that it asks me for password.
I tried disable password, then enable. No help.
I tried changing lockscreen setting in CM settings, no help either.
I'm running on CM7 stable now, and the problem is still there. Please help! I can't leave my nook color unprotected.
FYI, I used ROM manager for all ROM updates. The screenlock worked before.
It's a Tablet Tweaks setting, on by default.
Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Tablet tweaks -> Disable Lockscreen
Thanks. The lock screen appeared! However, it's at an unusual size, as large as a phone's screen. As a result I couldn't see half of the keyboard to input my full password. Is there a way to have a larger lock screen? Is it the set lcd density trick?

That I don't know. I've never tried adding a password lock, only using the various sliders/rotates on the lock screen.
go to spare parts, unclick compatibility mode

Cool. That solved it.
FYI, it was unselected. So I selected it, unselected, then reboot, then bingo!

I had the same lock-screen issue once I enabled it on CM7 stable. I simply rebooted and it fixed it.
Is there any way to check which applications are causing the orientation on my Tab 7" to lock?
When my tab boots up, during scanning of the media files, the screen can rotate automatically when i change the orientation of the tab.
After scanning and a while, the screen will be locked, as it will not rotate anymore when I turn it around. (discovered this while playing burn the rope. Keep failling 1st stage).
I have browsed through the Application settings but I dun see any mention of them having access to lock the orientation.
I have also upgraded to the 2.3.3 firmware recently. The applications I reinstalled in my Tab did not cause this issue to happen before the upgrade.
And before somebody points me out the obvious, yes I checked the Auto-Orientation Lock in the pulldown menu. Whether it is on or off it doesn't matter. Same issue. Locked.
May be another obvious thing that you've just not mentioned, but have you checked settings -> display -> auto-rotate? It can cause a stupid conflict with the "lock orientation" toggle.

I did not mention it because under display, there is no auto-rotate option.

Is there a way to set my nook to stay at 180 rotation?
In other words, I would like it to think that the N button is on the top of my nook instead of the botton.
The reason for this is so I can have my nook charging while in the stand I have for it.
Most of my apps work with auto-rotation, but enough don't to be annoying.

You can use settings to enable the 180 setting then use settings to enable the orientation toggle in the notification area. Then lock the orientation to 180 when you have it there.

How do I lock it? I tried turning off orientation once I have it at 180 but that just flips it back to 0.
I am using cm 7.2

If you are running CM7, go to cyano settings, notification bar Widgets, and choose orientation lock. Then once you are at 180, pull down notification area and toggle orientation to lock it.

Thank you. That works. For some reason WordFeud seems to ignore that setting

I feel ya on this and wish it could work. I sleep on the left side of the bed and hate turning it when it plugged in cause of the crappy nook cords breaking all the time.
I'm all thumb's
Install went perfect on my Nook HD, but have a couple of questions. Can't seem to find in the settings where to turn on USB debugging and how do I turn off the typing sound?
Thank you

Go to settings, about, tap build number 7-8 times for developer options.
Keyboard sounds should be under settings, sound. If not there then under keyboard input.

One more question if I may

On the lock screen is there anyway to remove what is on there? Say like the phone etc...
Once again thank you for your quick response

Go to settings --> lock screen --> slider shortcuts.
Slide the circle to the slot you want to change, and choose "empty" for the shortcut you want to get rid of.
Not sure if anyone else is having a problem but I had trouble removing the camera widget off the lock screen even though it was disabled in the settings on carbonmod. Had to download "Lockscreen policy" app to remove it.
