I've got an HD+ that has been sitting, not being used for at least 6 months...finally found the charger and fired it up today. I'd like to get the best recommended build installed on it for performance (including dealing with TRIM issues on the EMMC), etc. Currently I'm running:
10.1.3-ovation
Kernel: 3.0.31-green+

Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm normally fine handling the install once I get there but there's always so many builds to choose from LOL!
Thanks!

That is exactly the build I use. I have seen no need to upgrade to anything newer. It is stable and does everything I want it to do. And you can be in control of trim by getting the app Lagfree from the Play Store.

Any suggestions on how to get the best performance? Still feels rather laggy to me...recommendations on launchers etc.?
SNAPSHOT M8 or M11
It is requested to flash snapshot m8 or m11. Other builds are having so many strange problems. M9 and M19 has problem of being slow and sluggish after 5 min usage and wont wake up after sleep.

FWIW, I am running CM11 snapshot M11 (& Nova Launcher) on my HD+ and it works pretty well for my use of the tablet (email/web surfing/video streaming (hulu/netflix)).
If you plan to upgrade from CM10 to CM11, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-tablet/general/how-to-updating-hd-hd-internal-emmc-to-t2863171 for info/pointers.
Going back to 10.1.3 from CM11. I seem to remember there's something i need to do besides a complete wipe, but I don't remember what it is.
Is there something else?
TIA

Use an old version of CWM or TWRP. The ones made for CM11 won't work.

Great. Thank you
I had been running CM 10.1 SD hybrid install from bokbokan and recently updated to his SD CM11 install.
I enjoyed it but decided to switch to an emmc build (and try to find one on which I could get tabletui back!) so I started cleaning up my stock rom so I could back it up and then place stock on SD using verygreen's files.
However, I discovered some tweaks (and an unknown functionality of Apex launcher for the home button) for rooted stock that made me happier with my setup on stock than I have been in a while.
You might want to give stock a chance again. I'm going to make a backup of my setup and then see if I can get any Xposed modules working. If some of my favorite modules work, then I'll be very happy indeed.

Been Googling this till it crosseyed. Where can I find a TWRP recovery older than 2.6.3? Or is rooted stock w/ Apex or Nova really the happiest compromise?

Why do you want TWRP older than 2.6.3? If it is so you can install an older ROM or zip, just go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make the bootable CWM per item 1a.

Because I wanted to downgrade from CM11 to 10.1.3 and I prefer TWRP over CWM. I may still have that SD from when I first rooted my HD+.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.Hello all thank you for you time. I'm running cm10.1 unofficial nightly build 05.22.13 on my touchpad with the latest adobe flash apk and Firefox app from Googleplay.
The issue that I'm having is my display would go to sleep as configure per my display setting while I'm streaming flash content at full screen. Not sure why this is happening and not sure if this is just my device. I didn't have this issue with cm9. Only notice this with cm10 and now 10.1. Theodd thing is that this issue is also happening with my nook color and nexus 7 with cm10.1
My current work around is setting display to time out 30 mins and touch the display every now and then.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks again
I did a quick search and found this app for you. I haven't tried it, but its worth a try.

Flash has never worked well on 4.1+ ROMs on the Touchpad in my experience. Flash isn't supported on 4.1+ but on other devices its still smooth so its a Touchpad Android issue not a Flash issue.
If you want Flash stay with CM9. I went back to CM9 after being on CM10 a while because I wanted stable Flash and couldn't really think of any new CM10 features that I needed.

First and foremost thank you for your input. It is true that flash is no longer supported on 4.1 + but it can and should be stable once installed. One example I can provide is with my nexus seven. With stock rom and latest flash APk installed it runs Smoth no problem but when it is rooted and custom rom installed display issue occurs. There must be some config in the rom where display would remain awake when certain apps are running at full screen. Also its hard to see that its a touch pad issue because this is happening to other devices that I've installed custom 4.1+ rom. I'm currently back with cm9. For stability until cm 10.1 is more stable will switch.

Flash runs smooth on my Droid3 with CM10.1 even though the rom is far from stable. Also runs well on the Razr with stock 4.1.2 update. Its just on the Touchpad that 4.1+ have issues with flash in my experience.

Hi everyone,
I recently installed android on my friend's Touch Pad. Which ROM do you recommend as the most stable/usable ROM? (While being new and hopefully rather current as - like Android 4.1 or 4.2). My friend is definitely not familiar with flashing or anything like that, but she knows how to use android. As I will be moving out of the state at the end of this week, I want to leave her with a good ROM that will be nice and stable and easy for her to use. What do you all suggest? Thanks!
Tough one just have to flash them all and test I would go for cm10 night lies because they'll constantly update it and all you have to do is go into settings and update it.

Thanks, I'm trying a couple. I had a 4.2.2 mashup of CM, AOKP, and PA. It was a bit buggy, and probably too confusing for my friend. She does really like the PIE controls though so I'm trying to get a stable one with those. If not I'll just go for the CM10 nightlies probably. Thank you sir!
for me, the most stable roms are the standard CM9 nightlies.
they benchmark higher than any of the 4.2.2 builds, and has working bluetooth and no UI issues as noted on the CM10 and CM10.1 builds.
every few weeks I backup my HP touchpad and install some of the latest roms and always come back to CM9. it just works better, and best of all, it has a better UI (while the tablet UI mod helps with CM10 and 10.1, it does not fix all of the issues. and for CM10.1 there is no 120dpi so you are stuck with everything being oversized for the screen
while with cm9 all you need is the CWM flashable 120dpi patch which still works with the latest nightly builds and takes care of any market place issues.
Overall for everyday use, CM9 is still the way to go.
I attached the 120dpi patch that I use. It only works on CM9

If you are on CM10 and the 120dpi is too small, to undo it flash the 160dpi file
the CWM dpi patches are the only ones that have worked for me, I have tried android 4.1 and 4.2 and the only recommendations for adjusting the dpi is using apps from the market place and all of the recommended ones for me have not worked, most causes the rom to not boot fully.
The main thing holding me back from going to anything higher than CM9, is the lack of stable bluetooth support, the new android 4.1+ UI that is just a more screen space wasting version of the cellphone UI (not tablet optimized at all), and the issue with no 120DPI mod working with it.
Have been using CM9 for a long time with no complaints other than battery life. I think there may be some kernels that are better, but I like when the battery runs out and my kids have to put it down. A timer of sorts. I have not found a combination that can compare to WebOS for battery life. But, Android has all the latest stuff now for the kids, so, Android it is. I still use WebOS, though, when I can.
CM10.1 nightlies by milaq have been very stable for me. I experienced random crashing of the default browser in CM9 nightlies but none in CM10.1.
Obviously the missing Bluetooth in CM10.1 may be an issue for some but I haven't really used BT for anything.

I run cm 10.1 with a tablet patch I made for the latest cm 10.1, I'm avoiding cm 10.2 for a few more months before I switch to it, I heard there's small performance issues because of some files not being optimized, as well as people in the market having to update their apps to work with the new is, as well as some fstrim things that need a little more investigating before I use it. I mean I am pretty sure most people are using it instead of cm 10.1 now, but I personally want to wait a bit.
Idk about your crashes but it could just be a bad flash or you used the wrong gapps package. I am not too familiar with the ROM you are using, since I haven't ever used it. The way I look at it is usually the closer you are to stock the less bulky the os would be, least that's how a PC operating system would work sorta. Don't know if the same holds true for android.

I am currently running ancient cm10.1 20130604 nightly for last several months. I tried to upgrade a few times to 4.3 but had stability issues and went back to this ROM, which is more stable than others though power loss in sleep is still a concern along with BT.
Any recommendation on a more stable ROM? The Kitkat build looks juicy but my kid uses this tablet mainly and he gets upset if the battery dies too quickly or the system crashes
Thanks for any comments.
By the way, any way to see the partition sizes? I think I increased the system partition to 512MB before installing 4.3 but don't remember now.
Found Partition in Play store. Worked like a charm. I only have 393MB in /system and /data 3527MB. I guess going back to 10.1 restored the partition table as well.
I'd say just grab the latest version of 10.1 (2014-01-13). There's not too much of an advantage for 10.2 or 11. The cm11 3.0 kernel version is also close, but things like mic and camera are still broken.

I'd say flash it and if you have any problems, do a factory reset. No use getting rid of all your data if it's not harming anything, but then again there might be some odd thing that breaks when upgrading.
As for battery, I personally found it better on CM10.1 than CM9.

stable rom
HI
I'm using CM11 Milaq and its very stable. There's still some things that aren't working. Like camera,Netflix version 3.x..etc. Buts its a very stable build. The best build I ever had installed that was really stable and ever thing worked, was evervolv CM10.2. This ROM was really good and stable I don't remember ever having any problems with it at all.
Hi, so I have here a now totally stock Nook HD+. I previously installed Cm-10.2.1 Official Stable and it was anything but.
So I have a bootable SDcard with CWM 6.0.4.6 and my question is what Custom Android rom and Gapps combination is stable that someone could recommend? Can you point me in the right direction? I did follow the five easy steps tutorial but I kept getting an error 7 when trying to install the ROM.
I am a total noob but I am kind of getting the hang of CWM as I managed to restore it back to stock.
Get TWRP and look around a bit. There really aren't a lot of current ROMs out there for the Nook HD+.
CM 10.1.3 was probably the most stable but #AMACES is doing great things with CM 12.1 and CM 13.

If you prefer a stable ROM, I'd suggest a recent CM11 nightly build from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation and a nano or pico GApps ARM-4.4 package from http://opengapps.org/#. And unless you plan to use CM12 or CM13, CWM 6.0.4.6 is a perfectly fine choice for both SD and EMMC recovery.
