I got my NookHD+ on Thursday night, here is what I changed on my NookHD+
U can freeze following package by titanium backup
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Disbale following app to auto start with system
Leave following app to auto start with system
What my NookHD+ home screen look like, full screen enabled
install Full!screen+ for "back"/"recent app"/"notifications button, u may need to replace a png file to fix "black words on grey color notifications bar"
Cleanup complete, about 500MB free ram after task kill, pls don't freeze "DeviceManagerService", otherwise u will have SystemUI error and wallpaper will become black screen
VPN supported
Lock Screen with Password
Change CPU governor to "hotplug", it will shutdown CPU1 for powersaving when system is idle
u can check the CPU status by following shell script, copy and paste and save as "/data/data/cpu.sh", chmod 777
execute as root via adb shell, Ctrl +C to break
i=1
while ((1))
do
echo $i
echo "CPU Governor mode : `ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq`"
echo "Online CPU = `cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online`"
echo "CPU 0 : `cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq` hz"
echo "CPU 1 : `cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq` hz"
i=$(($i+1))
sleep 1
done
When CPU1 is shutdown, it will show
CPU Governor mode : hotplug
Online CPU = 0
CPU 0 : 396800 hz
cat: can't open '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq': No such file or directory
CPU 1 : hz
if cpu 1 is online, u will see "Online CPU = 0-1" and CPU 1 : 396800hz (or more)

[GUIDE][WIN][HowTo] Create a Logcat via Eclipse using Windows and Wifi

I decided to create this thread to show you how easy it is to submit a shorter logcat to the devs and save their time by searching huge logcats full of unimportant information
Im Using Eclipse because auf the better usability and readability of the logcats because there are coloured and you can better setup the filters ... in my point of view
Download Android/Eclipse
Download Android SDK and Eclipse here I'm using the 32Bit edition (maybe something depending on Android will not work if you are using 64Bit, but try it and maybe it works )
Extract Eclipse to your desired directory (I'm using "D:\dev\eclipse", but do as you wanna do)
Extract sdk ("D:\dev\sdk") and "SDK Manager.exe" ("D:\dev")
Create a Desktop or Startmenu Shortcut of eclipse.exe if you wanna to

Setup Eclipse
Run eclipse.exe
You need to Select a workspace: (I'm using "D:\dev\workspace", but it doesnt matters), Tick "Use this as the default and do not ask again" to save time on the next starts

Add platform-tools to your "path"
Press [Windows]+[R], type SETX PATH "%PATH;D:\dev\sdk\platform-tools"(depending on your directory), press [Enter]

@AlexVendettA
How to install and play HearthStone on the HTC One M7​
Prerequisites:
Your phone must be rooted
Your phone must use the DALVIK runtime (will not work on ART)
Your phone must be on Android 4.0 to 4.4.4 (will not work on 5.0+ because 5.0+ use ART)
Procedure:
Download and install the Xposed Framework. Launch it and grant SU privileges to Xposed when prompted to.
Download and install the App Settings module for Xposed
Activate "App Settings" module in Xposed Installer app (Xposed Installer app --> Modules ---> check box) then reboot the phone (if you have an advanced power menu, a "hot-reboot" is enough)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Make sure to enable "Unknown sources in settings --> Security --> Uknown sources (allow installation of apps from unknown source)
install HearthStone apk from here but do not launch it yet, just install it.
MD5: 3402f837e588abaae774f3cfc83a0efb
Go back in the Xposed Installer app --> Modules ---> App Settings ---> HearthStone (com.blizzard.wttcg.hearthstone) ---> set DPI to 216, set Screen (dp) to 1000*1600, enable xlarge resolution.
Deactivate HTC power saver mode and (for better performance) enable High Performance mode: Settings --> Developer options --> High performance mode
Launch hearthstone, the app will download additional data (around 500 Mb)
enter your battle.net account name and password
Play the game!

You know that Blizzard is very strict about modifying their game? Even if its only a variable about screen size... They could ban your battle.net account. I remember a similar case when ppl modded SC2 to be able to play on multi-screens setup... Blizzard detected it and they got banned.
And its also in Blizzard's terms of use:
The license granted to you in Section 1 is subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 1 and 2 (collectively, the “License Limitations”). Any use of the Service or any Game in violation of the License Limitations will be regarded as a breach of this Agreement and an infringement of Blizzard’s copyrights in and to the Service and/or Game. You agree that you will not, under any circumstances:
use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the Service, any Game or any Game experience;
(...)
modify or cause to be modified any files that are a part of any Game or the Service in any way not expressly authorized by Blizzard;
(...)
Click to expand...

So for this reason, I highly suggest you and everyone to use the official hearthstone app and make the necessary modification to your phone (e.g spoofing your screen size) instead of modding the game to remove the screen size restriction. :angel:
Anyway thanks for sharing , this might be easier but this is not the best solution imo.

1) I'm pretty sure the 3rd party download is to get past the fact that google play doesn't offer it yet.
2) The xposed mod works by spoofing the phone information. It does not modify the game.

Action Launcher 3 supports swipe for Google Now integration (root users only)

Looks like Action Launcher 3 now supports swiping right to access the Google Now page. I've gone ahead and gone through the process of enabling it on my OP3 and 6P and so far it's been flawless. Very happy to finally have this feature back.
To enable this feature you have to install Action Launcher 3 as a system app. To do this, you must do the following:
1) Download the Action Launcher APK from here: APK Mirror Link
2) Push the APK to your device by using ADB commands to type the following adb push action3.apk /sdcard/
3) Move the APK to system partition by typing the following...
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /sdcard/action3.apk /system/priv-app
chmod 644 /system/priv-app/action3.apk
mount -o ro,remount /system
exit
exit
4) Reboot (ADB reboot)
5) Once you reboot, Action Launcher 3 will be installed as a system app. Let the app update to 3.8.1 from the playstore.
6) Once Action Launcher is updated enable Google Now integration by going to Action Launcher Settings > Desktop> Google Now Integration (Alpha)
It should now be enabled. Swiping right on the home screen slides the Google Now page into frame, just like with the stock Google launcher.

Hey I just did this and it worked.... All I had to do was change the app to a system app in rom toolbox and reboot the phone.... Then the option appeared in the action launcher settings.... Working great so far. Good find @sn0warmy

I used Titanium backup to convert it to system app and it worked fine, but you must have action launcher plus (paid version) to use the Google now swipe

I love it.

Thank you for the link. Its unavailable here in the U.S. I'll figure something out

Does this work on N preview? I'm on the paid version, not going to root unless this is working because I use Android pay. Love the app, the current version is a lot smoother than older versions. Seems just as snappy as Google now launcher.

Yes. I'm in stock, rooted DP5 and it works just fine.

Is there no options in default apps section? If not probably you can use an app that is used in Fire/Android TV, you could try something like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/any-launcher-no-root-launcher-hijack-v4.3561026/ or this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...manager-change-launcher-without-root.4176349/

Thank you.
First method, only managed to open the launcher after the restart but then it is not functioning.
2nd method, not working !!

There isn't an option to choose default apps?
Try this in ADB:
adb shell
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN
You will have a list to choose from.
Also you can set it up with:
adb shell
cmd package set-home-activity com.teslacoilsw.launcher/.YourLauncherActivity

Is it your device seen through adb devices?
Update Java and set it up to be used for ALL the users on Windows and from ALL the paths. Open the CMD as administrator.
And again, is it the Default app section missed onto your device? Or just allowed some default app like browser and so?

- My device is seen through adb services.
- Java installed and I run cmd as admin
- When I go to the setting to change the default launcher it gives me only one option which is Honor Home in spite of the fact that I installed two other 3rd party launcher (microsoft and nova)

Evidently Honor is not allowing to use a third-party launcher app, just trying some workaround, this is the reason why java is not fully can do its job.
Can you Clear Defaults inside the settings of the Honor Home?
Or Can you disable/freeze it? To see what happens next.

I guess that when you press to Nova launcher, you are getting back to the stock home launcher.
Other thing, would be giving the home button to open a specific app like Nova, but probably not a great solution.
As you seen, Magic UI don't want you to use a different launcher.
Unfortunately it seems that your last chance will be rooting the device.

OK I'll help you with this.
I won't write a whole guide on it, just give you an overview and you guys do it on your own.
First install whatever launcher you wanna run.
Then find the name of the default launcher, "honor home".
Use adb or easier use multi-tool 8 (pc app, from an xda member) , to disable the default launcher.
[Tip- Name of launcher will kot be honor home but com.xxxxxx,so find out the name of the launcher beforehand]
Disconnect from pc.
Restart, should show option of changing launcher, or start on the other installed launcher.
In case of any problems, use multi tool 8, to enable honor home.
There's your solution.
