As a preface, I've been a lifelong iOS user. My only experience with any Android products has been with downloading a couple apps on my Stock HD+. A few days ago I started looking into getting a little bit more out of this tablet after digging it up during some cleaning. All this to say, please forgive my ignorance.
So a few days after updating my HD+ to Nougat following a guide I found on google and soon discovered that I could no longer connect my wiimotes to my nook. Did some searching and found that they don't connect because L2CAP bluetooth protocol support was ended in Android 4.2. Is there any way to re-enable the protocol, via a new custom ROM or otherwise? From what I can tell I'm using Cyanogenmod 12.1 and I've heard that support has been reintegrated into v13.

Hey there. I have the Nook HD+ and was using Cyanogenmod 10.1 for a while. I very much enjoyed using it, but eventually ran into an issue I hope to get resolved someway. One of the main things I'd like to do with my tablet is use it for emulators and for that I'd like to use a wii remote. Now, the issue with that is, as some of you may know,wii remotes no longer connect to android as of 4.2 due to some bluetooth change. What I've found out is that the remote will sync to the standard Nook OS, due to it being 4.1 or whatever.
So I guess my question would be this. Is there a way to use cyanogenmod and still get the wiimote functionality in some form? Is it possible to dual boot or something along those lines? As in use the stock Nook OS for emulation and cyanogen for other uses. I'm not very experienced when it comes to working with phone ROMs and such. And when I did search for things about dual booting it was paired with heavy use of jargon and I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I'm really looking for options for things I could go about doing here.
Thanks for your time

If CM10.1 (android 4.1) works with the wii remote, could you not go back to using that? What was the issue you mention running into?
In the development forum there are builds of CM10.1 and the latest stock OS that can run off an sd card rather than installing to the device, so you can have a kind of dual boot situation where you just pop the sd card in when you want to use that operating system. That might work for your situation.

With the latest update ( 2.1.1 ), the stock Nook HD+ is ICS 4.0.4. Google broke Android's bluetooth support with Jellybean 4.2+, and CM and others are trying to fix it but with limited success. You can dual boot by running an alternate OS off of the SD Card. I run stock 2.1.1 from SD Card as per:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330083
With a supported 16/32GB SD Card you can have plenty of room for all kinds of roms for emulators.
However, I would rather not use the WiiMote for emulators. Rather, GameStop has a $9.99 bluetooth wireless controller for Android Tablets that purportedly still works with CM 10.1/2 and has analog sticks and all. I plan to get one of those, but they are sold out online and I just haven't made the trek to a GameStop that has them....
Gamestop no longer has those blu tooth controllers, but the gamestop red samurai
works very well...I just got one a few weeks ago. $ 19.99
Nook HD+ running CM10.1 (as well as stock Nook HD+) is not recognizing PDANet wifi hot spot generated on iPhone 3gs ios 5.1.1. Reading the Nook users forum, this is a common problem. I thought that CM10.1 would use a different wifi software section than the nook native; but apparently the problem has not changed when CM is used.
Speculation in the Nook user forums is that WEP is not supported by Nook.
Is WEP supported by Android?
There are many flames in the user forums about don't use WEP. PDANet ONLY uses WEP. You cannot turn off authentication or use a different protocol.
I am welcome to other suggestions for wifi tethering Nook HD+ with CM to iphone 3gs ios 5.1.1. No, I cannot upgrade ios; for jailbreak reasons.
I have been able to tether using Nook bluetooth, but that is only one device at a time.

First off, thanks to those who respond with help to my situation. I definitely appreciate it.
Problem: I bought a NookHD+ off of craigslist as an affordable alternative to a tablet PC. I'd like to watch some episodes of netflix and hulu and youtube on my TV with it. I bought the HDMI adapter for the NookHD+. Unfortunately it's not working and I think it's because it was flashed?/rooted? to a different OS. This is not booting from a memory card, it's booting internally. I'm not an expert with these so the boards are a bit confusing when it comes to rooting, etc. I have tried two different fairly new TV's. The TV's do not even sense an input signal.
Questions: Shouldn't I just be able to connect the HDMI adapter and have output even with the CyanogenMod OS? If so how? If not how do I get back to the original NookHD+ OS? Any other ideas as to why the HDMI output is not working?
Edit: It appears that it should be possible with cm on the nooks. It is searchable as I know it was brought up before. I was thinking about mhl which doesn't work.
Also it looks like your on a terribly old and gimped 10.2 build. Could also be your problem. Update to the latest.
leapinlar I believe has a way to go back to official bn rom in the event you didn't create a backup. If you did [create a backup] it could be as simple as rebooting into recovery, backing up, wiping, then restoring.

Just updated to the latest build and found two things:
1. My nook is operating much better
2. That HDMI adapter has to be surgically attached in order to function. Literally if it moves a little bit the TV will lose signal. That was probably my main issue but the update helped too.
Thanks again for the assistance.
I seen a few posts where people have managed to sync their ps3 controller with the six axis controller app. For the live of me I tried a few builds of Android and none of them allow me to sync the controller to bluetooth. At this point for those who got it to work or use it frequently, what version of your rom are you using? Do you know any app that allows you to change bluetooth mac address on the android device or Touchpad Rom? Let me know because I have troubleshooting steps that I need to try that require me to change the bluetooth mac address on the hp touchpad but all the instructions I have found have not helped me because the folder structure described is not consistent with what is in my folder. I thank you ahead all of you ahead of time because I value your help, and I apologize if I have missed something during my extensive research.
HP TOUCHPAD
version of android: update-cm-10.1-20131121-SNAPSHOT-BLUETOOTH-tenderloin 4.2.2
Bluetooth turns on and it works just fine with this version.
All troubleshooting was done per dev website.
Tool was downloaded into PC, uploaded mac of hp touchpad and nothing.
Synced bluetooth devices already with no problem with this rom in the touchpad.
PS3 (sony branded) controller still not pairing.
If it works for you what version of the rom you have?
Hello all, my first post so please bear with me ....
After sucessfully rooting and flashing my T819 with Aroma I am wondering if anyone knows when the Nougat update will be available for the T819?
Also i tried to connect my wii remote using wiimote without sucess, i read somewhere this is due to bluetooth security or incompatability (cant quite remember exactly).
Any advice on these subjects would be apreciated, GREAT place to be btw ! Been coming here for years but never registered before, i have now lol.
Many thanks.
