Slow system on CM 11 M12 - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So today I installed M12 with clean install. At first, everything was veery slow, like it needed 10-15 sec for one operation. Apps were opening to black screen or opening with huge delay. After few hours, it got better, UI is responsive, but apps are still opening slowly(no black screens through). How can I help it?

I suffered a while with this myself, and finally I did a full system reset, even wiping all the appropriate partitions and folders including MEDIA. Since then my Nook HD+ has been snappy and reliable.

The only partitions that should ever need to be wiped are /cache, /data, and /system. Wiping some partitions other than these 3 (e.g., /rom and /factory) will brick your Nook.

My Nook HD+ became intolerably slow on CM roms - so slow that after years of running CM I switched to the latest version of Liquidsmooth in the forums. Liquidsmooth isn't exactly speedy, but it is usable.

Right-o! I edited my post to clarify what I actually did. Thanks for that correction -- I might have done someone a mischief.

I'm having the same issue as the OP. Followed these instructions to upgrade to CM11 M12 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-updating-hd-hd-internal-emmc-to-t2863171
And now stuck with a very sluggish tablet - any apps opening are really slow - has been like this for a couple of days now. Battery life also seems to be worse.
You suggested a factory reset - do you mean the factory reset option in the Backup and reset menu?
Almost tempted to downgrade back to 10.2.1 - it had its faults, but was still better than this.... but i can't find any info on how i'd do that - can i use my current version of CWM Recovery (had to update it to do the upgrade) and just flash the old version of CM10 and the relevant Gapps?

No, you can't use the new CWM to go back to CM10.2.1. It requires the old CWM. And to factory reset boot to CWM to do it (either version).

I performed the wipe data & factory reset as instructed after updating CWM recovery and before installing CM11 and the Gapps file - is that the option i could try now? That wont wipe anything "important"?
Also, if i was to downgrade to 10.2.1 could i do it by just copying the files to the internal or external memory and doing the following? :
downgrade the CWM recovery, reboot into the new recovery, wipe data/factory reset and then install chosen CM10 and Gapps?
Thanks for the help!

The current ROM, all the apps and their data/settings would be gone -- but your user-media content should be intact.

If you only factory reset (in other words don't wipe /system) then your ROM stays and should still run, just settings and installed apps removed.
And yes on procedure to downgrade.

Yes I did it from backup and reset menu, but I think it did reset with cwm anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Just to share my observations. In general the performance is very good. Currently I'm on M12.
I'm mostly using it to read PDFs.
In the past I observed, that after a while of operation it gets slow and even the touchscreen is not responding properly. After a reboot everything is fine again. I couldn't observe it anymore lately, but not sure whether this is because of I did a reboot (before it becomes necessary).
A question because I first read the thread title wrong: will there be a CM12 for this device? Or other way around, is someone (leapinlar?) working on a port lollipop to nook or is intended to do so?

[Q] Help? Custom Roms Won't Boot

So, I have a Galaxy Exhibit II 4g (Sold here in Canada on Bell's network as the Galaxy W sgh-t679m).
I've had no troubles rooting the device (Though I forget where I got the package to root it and it's not one of the ones on the wiki), or installing CWM, however: My main goal was to get some manner of JB rom set up on the device.
I've tried both Linaro CM 10 and Slimbean.
The problem I'm encountering (with either of them) occurs after flashing the new rom.
When "starting" with the new rom for the first time, it just repeats the loadscreen animation indefinitely. I tried leaving it overnight and it was still doing it. However, When I flash back to the stock rom it works just fine.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Do you know how to make this problem go away, and make either of the two roms load?
Did you do a wipe before flagging the ROM?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk
Did you do wipe system + cache + dalvik cache then install ROM then wipe dalvik cache + fix permissions?
If not try that. I doubt 2 desperate downloads are at fault here.

Aha!
Before, I formatted data and wiped cache. Didn't know to wipe Dalvik Cache or fix permissions.
Thanks afwolfpacked!
What are you using to flash with. Cwm 6.0.1.2 or twrp. You will need to ensure system is wiped. Clean installs I'm twrp for thoroughness I do:
System wipe
Cache wipe
Dalvik cache wipe
Factory reset
Internal storage wipe
Android secure wipe
Post install:
Dalvik cache wipe
fix permission
Reboot
Initial setup: for 5 - 10 minutes don't do anything to phone for complete setup installation from ROM flash before completing initial setup

I'm using CWM 6.0.2.5.
I did everything but the factory reset. It installed great, but I'm finding that it crashes constantly now that it's up and running (CWM, Linaro CM10, SpeedyGonzales Kernel).
I'm going to try swapping out the Kernel and see if that makes things go a bit better. Going to try Jocalas first. The Demon's Blood Kernel Link is dead.
I'll update the post after I see how Jocalas Kernel works out even though it's not rigged specially for JellyBean - hopefully it will be more stable.
Can someone link me some alternatives or give me some suggestions.

Well, I followed afwolfpacked's instructions to the letter (which didn't include the factory reset).

Factory reset is NOT optional, check the instructions again. Of course it will install with out wiping, it just wont work well hence the reason you are getting crashes.

I went back into CWM to switch the kernel, and I looked at the menu options. I thought wipe data and factory reset were separate options, and that I had done the wipe data and not the factory reset. Apparently I *DID* factory reset, as they are apparently the same thing.
So my bugs must be caused by something else. I'm hoping it's the kernel, not CM10.
Suggestions on the Kernel to use?

Have you tried just installing CM10 and NOT another kernel? CM10 has it's own kernel built-in.

I was having a different problem with slimbean. I hadn't known the fix permissions or clear dalvik cache and it wasn't starting. I tried both it and Linaro CM10, and I definitely like Linaro CM10 better, at least until it started constantly crashing.

Hmm. No I hadn't realized that. The Linaro CM10 page made it seem like you needed another kernel.
Thanks guys. I'll give them a try tomorrow, and I'll let you guys know if either of those options works out.
If not, I may just have to go back to Slimbean, which didn't have as many shiny features (being slim), but seemed much more stable than the linaro cm10+speedy kernel.
By the way, you guys have been awesome. Done some other modding things before, but this is my first attempt at modding android; and you guys have been a huge help in figuring out how it works.

Yeah. now that I've installed DBv8, things are running much better. The phone's been running since I made that last post, and it hasn't crashed once.
What are the big differences between the linero kernel, DBv8, and Evil?
The linero kernel was optimized but still stock. Powered by Evil and Demons Blood v8 are near on par with each other and are overclockable. I believe sio was included in IO for DB v8 and not in evil and a few differences in governers. Not much differences in those 2.

[Troubleshooting] (CM 10.2) Stuck at boot screen after reboot

Many of us are facing this problem where after flashing a 10.2 ROM and rebooting, the device is stuck at boot screen- the Samsung N7000 screen!
This is a strange problem which seems to be affecting only some n7000 handsets as others can keep flashing the ROMs without any issues...wiping, reflashing ROM, etc doesn't work!
I myself faced this problem on almost all custom CM 10.2 Roms and am sharing the solution which worked for me. At the onset, this solution was suggested to me by another member @Super Prince in one of my posts and it worked!!
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Flash the correct gapps once again
3. Reboot
The problem should be gone now and no more stuck-iness for you...

Which CM version are you on? This method has worked for me every time on CM 10.2 roms and official CM 10.2 gapps (the one dated 13/08/2013)
I used to get stuck on the GT N7000 screen after every reboot and resorted to all sort of stuff like reflashing, formatting and stuff but to no avail.
The only solution that worked for me was re-flashing the gapps!
Maybe you should try once again with the official gapps..and post your results.

I'm on Carbon, but I tried another CM based ROM as well and it did not work.
I will try it with the official Gapps and Slim Gapps then report back.
EDIT 1: Well. I tried the lastest Carbon nightly 10/17, with both Slim Gapps and normal regular Gapps and the same result, stuck on boot logo.
Both times I flashed a clean install. I'm out of options now.
EDIT 2: When I'm using a kernel from 4.3 and I'm on CWM trying to format Preload, I always get this message:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Error formatting /preload
Could that be a possible reason?, does anyone else have that same message?
No suggestions?
Am I'm stuck on 4.2?
Sent from my GT-N7000
It's the same for all on the new Cwm. Preload cannot be formatted in Cwm 10.2.
What happens when you clean install a rom without gapps. And boot it.?

I tried that last night actually, clean flash and no Gapps and the same result, stuck on boot screen.
What I've tried so far:
- Flashing different 4.3 ROMs with three different Gapps combinations.
- Flashing Carbon with no Gapps.
Thank you in advance for any ideas you can provide.
I have never encountered such an issue after a clean flash ever. So not sure what's going on there.
When a clean install, do you format system, data and cache and then install the new rom?

Yeah, what I do is to do a factory reset twice, then clear cache, then preload twice, data once, system twice and dalvik twice, and only then I flash the ROM and then Gapps.
I let it settle for one hour and then I start the configuration.
It is weird, because if I leave it to boot up normally for the first time, without opening any apps or configurations, it reboots normally. And only when I open Settings or an app, and then I reboot the phone, it gets stuck on the boot logo.
I've even tried to format the SD Card and no difference.
tried without the external SD card inserted?

@SirRhor Please try anothjer work-around before you do anything else:
1. Do all the wipes from a safe kernel
2. Flash Rom (only rom and no gapps)
3. Reboot the system without gapps
4. Now, reboot into recovery (I prefer to leave the system for 10-15 minutes to settle down before rebooting)
5. Flash the correct gapps
6. Reboot and set up ur google account etc.Restore apps or whatever u need from the play store. Dabble with rom settings
7. Reboot!
Did it work now?

maybe your bootloader corrupted already. Reflash the bootloader only or whole stock rom using ODIN may help ..
I'm glad to inform you that I was able to solve my problem following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427569
But instead of flashing the Stock Rooted ROM using Odin, I just flashed it within Philz Recovery.
Right now I'm changing settings and restarting on Carbon 4.3, and so far I have not had any problems.
To anyone experiencing this, just read this thread so you will not waste your time trying ALL the bullcrap I did and instead just try the guide above.
Thank you for everyone who helped me out.

[Help]Recovery won't wipe data

Hey guys,
I was running CM 10.1.3 and decided to go to Slim Bean 2.1. I followed the instructions, but when I rebooted instead of a clean install, I had all my old apps. Naturally, I went back to recovery and wiped everything again including sdcard and flashed Slim again (from external sd card). However, when I rebooted, again I had everything - old apps, music, photos... As you might imagine after this dirty flash the phone is quite laggy. Please tell me how to make recovery properly wipe the old data.
Any help is appreciated

What recovery are you running? I am going to assume CWM v6.0.3.1...
From main menu;-
Wipe Data/factory rest
Wipe cache partition
From Mounts and Storage menu;-
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data
Format /sd-card
From Advanced manue;-
Wipe dalvik cache
Now install.
You assume correctly. I had already done that, but I did it again in the order that you described. No difference, I still get all my app, my wallpaper, and all my accounts are still logged on. That is strange. Is there another way to wipe the phone?

Yes, it's very strange. I have done that before, but never with such results. I think I might have to resort to a kdz flash of stock rom, but I'll wait a bit to see if someone comes up with a solution. Nevertheless, I will have to find a solution, because after the last several dirty flashes one on top of the other the phone does not work as it should. It is very laggy and with an even higher battery drain (which was the initial reason for a clean install).

I think I might have to resort to a kdz flash of stock rom, but I'll wait a bit to see if someone comes up with a solution. Nevertheless, I will have to find a solution, because after the last several dirty flashes one on top of the other the phone does not work as it should. It is very laggy and with an even higher battery drain (which was the initial reason for a clean install).

I have to admit that I would look at doing a KDZ reflash to get everything back clean, then CWM and reinstall of the ROM.

actually, try flashing with lg flashtool (dz+dll), it's supposed to format your internal storage as well, while kdz flasher doesnt afaik. good luck. strange problem indeed

Hey guys,
I was running CM 10.1.3 and decided to go to Slim Bean 2.1. I followed the instructions, but when I rebooted instead of a clean install, I had all my old apps. Naturally, I went back to recovery and wiped everything again including sdcard and flashed Slim again (from external sd card). However, when I rebooted, again I had everything - old apps, music, photos... As you might imagine after this dirty flash the phone is quite laggy. Please tell me how to make recovery properly wipe the old data.
Any help is appreciated

What about upgrading CWM to 6.0.4.4 and try again?

too late now to go back to format and reinstall rom. just go in data/app delete everything in there. also in data/dalvic-cache. then if u know from system apps which ones u dont want , go delete them and then find their dalvic-cache in /cache/dalvic-cache.
then go delete from sdcard the folder android. then from sdcard delete every zero and empty folder. last one delete all data/data and reboot. nothing should be left from previous rom. now if u have more leftovers in data/media/obb or data/media/legacy, delete. (dont delete the legacy in storage/emulated...!). about the problem u had. did u choose wipe and selected manually to wipe all those or u chose to format all data ? there must be a choice to format everything. ( dont do it now it will delete everything ). if that doesnt work then fix permissions.
Somehow after several attempts it worked and wiped everything. I am not sure, however, if it works consistently.

I will certainly do that, but I have never used flashtool so far (kdz flasher, as well for that matter), So I just do not have the time to experiment right now, just in case if anything goes wrong. But I will certainly want to try a stock rom again.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I will hold off from using it for now, but if recovery misbehaves again I will use it.

How is Any Kernel related to the version of CWM Recovery? Otherwise, I am using the Anykernel version of OP 2.7.

P880 won't boot after 442 flashing

Hi guys,
Need your assistance in this. I downloaded the 4.4.2, the Gapps (stock version), and the CWM Touch 6044. Flashed successfully the 6044. Rebooted, and flashed omni 442 and then the gapps. Did a wipe data/factory reset. Then pressed reboot device. The phone will restart and stay stuck at the Omni Logo. No progress from there at all. Did a few other reboots and different combinations to the above but to no result. Stuck there. Finally, did a restore from my backup just to have a phone again..Any idea what I did wrong from the start?
How long did you wait at the first bootup? It took quite long for me, so I'd suggest waiting up to 20 minutes before turning off the phone. Try flashing with the most lightweight Gapps package, that's what everyone seems to be using. You could also try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Well, did the Dalvik cache but later on, when I was experimenting. I had waited at least 16/18 minutes till my patience ran out...
Decided to have one more go right now. 1. Did a wipe data / factory reset. 2. After that, wiped Dalvik cache. 3. Presently installing Omni and then will install gapps. 4. Will reboot and leave it to boot until I leave work. (couple of hours from now). And will see what happens.
- Forgot to add thaty in all instances, I selected YES in the "root" question in the end. -
Thanks for replying!
---Update
Nothing changed. Stuck at the Omni logo for about 50 minutes..

So don't flash gapps and ROM back to back. Flash ROM then reboot and after waiting 5 mins reboot and flash gapps again.

Maybe format /system in addition to the factory reset (it's under mounts and storage). So you get a completely clean install
Sent from my LG Optimus 4X HD
Thanks for your advice guys - Unfortunately I don't see any results
I booted in recovery and in this order: Wiped data / did factory reset - then wiped Dalvik - then did format /system - then flashed successfully Omnirom and at the end select YES in the "root" question. Did not touch the Gapps.
Same result - has been in the Omni Logo for more than half an hour.
Can someone tell me the absolute prerequisites needed to install and boot normally? Apart from CWM Touch 6.0.4.4 that is?
Thanks in advance
I really don't see any more required steps to install OmniRom. Did you try another downloaded OmniRom? Maybe something is wrong with your used version.

That shouldn't do any damage (I tried both ways and didn't notice any difference )

Did you mount all under mounts and storage?

all I did under mount & storage is the "format /system". Did not mount anything any other time. Is this part of the procedure too or are we shooting blind here? - Cause directions in the post say flash rom, flash apps, wipe data & reboot, let alone the 15 other combos I've done.
Haven't tried anything yet cause I need to re-download the ROM and presently I can't get any of my 3 PCs "see" the LG's contents like a flash drive. Can only do it in my work's laptop. Beats me why..
If you don't have important data, format internal storage too. No idea for 4.4, but if you flash kdz, this is a must.

It is important to mount everything as far as I know. In my old device's forum it always a step that is specified, I never see it in these forums though.
Try it, you don't loose anything.

Have broken my Ovation with an OTA CM11 update

I mistakenly tried the OTA update from 10.2 to 11 (EMMC) with TWRP 2.5 I think. It failed and would not boot. I then tried doing a factory reset and reinstalling a 10.2 ROM I found on the internal SD card and it completed (no red FAILED) but would not go beyond the offset circular boot screen. I now tried flashing the cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip which was successful but when I try to load any new ROM from an SD card I get E: Can't mount /external_sd.
I presume I'm missing something. I don't think I formatted the bootdata folder I see mentioned a lot.

Do you still have the original backup or one from just after you install CM10.2? It might be worth just restoring that using the SD CWM you backedup with.
If the above doesn't work restore to stock grab both stock recovery and ROM from lepinar and get back to a known working state and try again.
what do you mean?
Is there a reason why the CWM is not good? Isn't this a ROM issue, like trying to flash CM 11 with an outdated recovery? and if so, don't I just need to understand how to install a clean 10.2 again?

You may be able to just recover but when I run into issues I find it easier to return to stock and try again. It works for me.

The CWM for CM11 (6045 or 6046) is not compatible with older versions of zips and older CWMs are not compatible with CM11.
If you have an older version of CWM you can use it to flash CM10.2, but you will need to do a factory reset with the CWM before rebooting after flashing to clear out the mess the bad CM11 install created.
Sent from my SCH-i705 using XDA Premium HD app
can you point me to the sets of files that work together?
So I see I have CWM 6.0.4.6 on the device. I can do a factory reset and then install CM11 directly or I have to go back to an old CWM and 10.2 first?
How about the issue where 6.0.4.6 does not read the SD card? I tried 2 and 16 gig cards, both EXFat and FAT32. Is that get resolved by the factory reset, or am I formatting the card wrong, or what? Unless there's a general impression that CM11 is not ready, I'd rather go to 11 unless it's necessary to go back first. Do I need to use the internal SD card and if so, how to I mount it to the PC when it's broken like this? Is there a button combination that makes it accessible through Odin or similar?
In the mess I got myself in, I'm to understand that the OTA is always fatal because the recovery does not accompany the flash, and the two are mutualy exclusive? In other words, I need to download the new recovery, the ROM and GAPPS and do all three at the same time to go from 10.2 to 11? But after that, OTAs are OK?

The sdcard issue is just with that version of CWM. Once you get CM11 installed the SD works. I don't know the answer on how to get the rom zip on internal. There is a thread for how to install kitkat (CM11). Maybe that tells you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796
And whether to go to CM11 is your choice. I have not tried it because I don't think it is ready, but lots of folks like it.
Once you have 6046 on internal memory it is ok to use the OTA for CM11 updates. And you can update now directly without going back to CM10.2.

Is there a TWRP which works on both CM 10.2 and 11?
The port you refer to seems to require that the nook be operational to move the files from the external to Internal card so there are many extra steps to go from a dead machine to CM11. Unless there is a working TWRP. I know lots of people think TWRP is bad news: is it a possible solution for me or more problems?
I gather that you'd go back to 10.2 if this was yours? Is it the simpler solution? I'm not set on the bleeding edge.

There is a working TWRP somewhere but I don't know where.
And like the other user said, the best solution is to go back to stock and start over. Once on stock you can put all the files on internal and install anything you want. If it were mine I would go back to CM10.1.3 stable, which is what I use now.
To go back to stock go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM per item 1a, flash the plain stock zip from item 6 and do a factory reset with CWM.
