HD+ has slowed to a crawl, reinstall doesn't seem to help - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been running CM11 M11 for a long time with good performance on my HD+. I haven't used it much lately, although I think my daughter has been playing with it. I tried using it and it has gotten extremely slow. I tried updating it to M12 and it was still slow. Next I tried doing a full backup and then a factory reset/wipe, plus formatted the dalvik and /system partitions and then restored. Next I tried wiping again and just doing a fresh install of M12 (which I just did on a HD and it is running great). The plus is still very slow. I have thought about downgrading CWM and reflashing a version of CM10 but thought I would see if anyone has any suggestions why a fresh install is going so slow. Could my hardware just be dying or is there a step in doing a fresh install that I'm missing?

You are probably experiencing lag. Search the forum to learn about that. CM11 is supposed to fix that automatically but it may need a manual trim.

I thought the reformatting was supposed to fix the lag issues associated with needing trim. I read up on it a long time ago and it seemed like I had a decent chance of bricking it with the drive in mine if I did a Trim. I thought I also saw that Google did something that supposedly fixed the Trim bricking issue but haven't been following all of that since mine was working well enough. Do you know if the bricking issues associated with Trim are fixed in CM11?

No, I don't. In fact that is one reason I do not run CM11.
When you formatted, did you use the advanced menu to format 'data and datamedia'? The normal format of /data or a factory reset just erases, not formats.

No, the only extra one I formatted from the advanced menu was /system. I will give that a try tonight. Thanks!

Formating the data and data media seems to have done the trick! I installed M12 and seems to be going smooth so far. Thanks again for the help. ☺

how to update to new marketplace using cm7 rc1

I can't seem to find a thread detailing how to do this..
Doesn't it just come with the tiny gapps that you're supposed to flash alongside cm?
Or is there a newer market that I am unaware about?
The one that comes with cm7 rc1 nightly 3 is 2.2.11
It happens by itself.
Since installing cm7 the normal marketplace doesn't work

This.
There seem to be a lot of small screwy things related to the google applications on Gingerbread-based ROMs. Best shot for getting everything working correctly is to do a full wipe and reflash. I know I had to do that to get GTalk working.
What about the not so easy answer?

Let me know if you figure one out. I spent about two weeks trying all sorts of off-the-wall stuff to get around having to wipe to get GTalk to work. As soon as I wiped (as I should have in the first place) it worked without a hitch.
It should auto update, at least for me it did.
If not go here

I flashed CM7 RC1 and I automatically got updated to 2.3.2.
Just give it time. It'll happen. Market updates by itself without user intervention.

It seems to be half working now but I can't look ay my downloaded apps list without it crashing. All other apps are fine

Have you tried clearing the Market app's cache and data?
Clear Market data in "system / applications / manage".
[edit] I see codesplice already gave you the correct answer
No joy. I'll go for the wipe later on

First try. Issue with kk's 2012-11-11 JB ROM

Hi all,
My first post, and as of yesterday my first custom ROM. Despite some sweaty moments it worked fine thanks to the guidance on this forum and some leaps of faith Can't reply to the relevant thread directly since I'm n00b.
Was very happy with this, however one killer issue that's meant I've had to revert to stock is that Google Talk (installed via GApps link with the ROM) crashes to desktop (no FC dialog) when i attempt to use voice or video within it. Skype seems to work fine though. Anyone else experienced this? I haven't seen it previously reported on here which makes me think maybe I didn't clear something properly (I used cwm recovery 5.5.0.4 to wipe cache, factory reset and clear dalvik prior to flash). I tried repeating the entire upgrade twice from scratch but same issue is still apparent.
Thanks for the coolness and hopeful for some help and further development.

Hey.
You're not the only one. I have the same issue with Google Talk. I, like you, thought that I wasn't installing something right. I even went as far as using an outdated gapps package, namely 20120726, to no avail. If you've gotten help with this, please let me know. Otherwise, I have no idea what else to do. I don't want to revert to stock because, quite frankly, its terrible. Also, to anyone else reading this, any help would be appreciated.
Try uninstalling talk after you've flashed the Rom and then reinstalling it. Had a similar problem with Google search.

I just checked the tablet and i dont see an option for uninstalling the app. just force close and disable. I also checked the play store to try and download the app, but i dont see it in there. maybe i'm missing something? like i said before, any help would be appreciated.
I'm not familiar with Google talk, is it the same as voice. To uninstall you'll need tibu or something like that.
I did find talk to chat in the play store which maybe the same thing you're talking about

Hey, I just want to thank you for your response. Its been a big help. Unfortunately, google talk isn't the same as voice. Its the chat client that is found in gmail and stuff. They just have a separate app for it on android devices. I think i may just use skype to video chat since i can't seem to find a fix for this and I can't bring myself to go back to the stock rom. If anyone happens to find a fix or knows of one, please let us know. Thanks.

gtalk doesn't work
My first ROM as well and facing the same problem with GTalk. Skype & Hangout on Google+ works fine. I was also wondering probably i missed a step.
But this ROM is so awesome don't want to restore. Other problems I am facing is that USB is not getting recognized on tablet and 3G not working. Any of you facing similar problem with 3G and USB?

As far as 3G, my tablet is the WiFi only, so I can't help you there.
With the usb, have you tried turning on the MTP setting? When you connect the tablet, go to settings>storage> and in the upper right hand side of the screen, if you press on the 3 dot things, you are going to see USB computer connection. press that and you will see the option to turn on MTP. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the replies, glad to know I'm not alone with g talk. Finally got stock ics ota but it's terrible! Prime example is Swype keyboard often appears the size of a credit card. Going back to cm as soon as talk fixed also had the USB issue but didn't try the workaround

[Q] New Nook HD+ behaves weird!

Hello everyone,
I recently got a replacement Nook HD+ as the original one had battery issues.
But whenever I use it, I notice some weird behavior. For eg: When I tried to use it for the first time to register it, it prompted me to choose a wireless network and when I'm about to enter the wifi password, that pop up goes away. Plus, it does some random work of its own like pulling down the top menu and canceling it out.
I tried doing a factory reset but it didn't take me anywhere. I'd greatly appreciate any help on this. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense here. I could upload a video if that would help.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Try resetting it by interrupting the boot 8 times in a row. That should make a clean install.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
By any chance do you have a screen protector on your Nook? If that's not the case, then is your screen perfectly clean?
The problems you are mentioning often occurs whilst a screen protector is placed on the screen. If you do have a screen protector on, you may have to remove it to get the full functionality. You may also want to clean your screen if you don't have a protector on.
After doing the above, I'm pretty sure you problem should cease to exist. All the best.

Thanks for your response, leapinlar. I did as you advised and it seems to be installed again. But I still have the same issue. (After choosing the wifi, it won't let me enter the password, the popup would just go off!)
Turning the device off is a nightmare as well.. After I long press the power button, the popup for shutdown would go off before I could hit "OK". Have to try a few times to accomplish this trivial task.

Sounds like you have a screen problem. Cleaning did not help? May need a warranty exchange.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It might be a dumb suggestion, but make sure you aren't touching the screen while holding the tablet. When I got this tablet (my first) I was frequently holding it wrongly, like my palm was touching the screen while I was holding it. It usually zoomed in web browser/maps by itself but was my fault. After buying a case my problems were gone.

I had the same problem but it turned out to be a problem with the stock Android keyboard ASOP not loading. (Unfortunately, Android keyboard (ASOP) has stopped) is the error message I get. That's why he can't input anything. If he goes into the Settings/Languages & Input under Keyboard & Input Methods the Android keyboard (ASOP) checkmark is greyed out and you can't select it.
I'm a newbie, less than a week into rooting my Nook HD+. Was having success until last night. Still trying to solve this problem myself. I had everything fine on my Nook HD+ using Nightly Builds, but decided I wanted to switch to the stable 10.2 Cyanomod to see if things ran smoother - and that's when I started having the problem (as of last night).
It is because CM10.2 requires different gapps. Try 20130813.

That's the one I've used from the start. Worked fine under CM10.2 nightly builds from 10-21 onward that I installed. Then went back to the stable version of CM10.2 and had the problem with the Android Keyboard not loading.
About to wipe everything and start over from scratch with CM10.2 Nightly Builds. Unless anyone has a simpler cure.

does this mean my user partition is crap? is there a way to reformat or partition everything?

Processor overclocking with CM10.2.1

I've inherited a Color Nook from a friend that passed away last year and I'm a very raw beginner at all of this. It had CM7 on it and had the capability of overclocking the processor. The SD card went bad and I purchased a new one. I've followed the directions and was able to install CM10.2.1 and the gapps program and get it working. Where can I find the program to get the nook to overclock?

You have to activate the setting. Go to settings, about tablet and tap the build number several times. That will activate both developer settings and performance settings.
