So from what I can tell, there are two versions of Lollipop available to try.
MDmower's unofficial CM12 builds and LiquidSmooth Lollipop
Can someone please describe the differences in features between the two?
Also, mdmower's page doesnt seem to indicate any known bugs but maybe I'm looking at the wrong place.
On the liquid smooth page, it mentions issues with the flashlight, usb file transfer, and camera. Are these issues that are carried over from the mdmower version?
I'm tempted to try. I can live with some bugs, but the camera is a pretty important feature for me.
Also, which Gapps do you recommend. I have some concern about Google Camera. On CM11, I find the regular camera app far more feature rich than when I tried installing Google Camera from the store. Both are slow but google camera never seemed to work very well for me. Most of the added features didnt work. I don't know about the CM12 stock camera though.

For Gapps I usually recommend PA Gapps just because I've never had an issue with it before. As far as the camera on LiquidSmooth, its related to the flashlight and I'm working on figuring out why its acting that way. USB file transfer works, it just ramps the CPU to max freq. and will kill your battery if left plugged in forever. I plan on dropping PacLP whenever Pacman ROMs decides to open their LP to the public, because I'm running that with no issues at all.
If I were you, I'd do a full backup in recovery and then flash both ROMs to see which one works best for you.
MDMowers CM12 ran well for me and was the first 5.x build available, the biggest thing is that you need to use his custom recovery and only his builds. But it does give you 4GB data rather than the stock 1GB. I didn't play with it much, I mainly use it to run Pandora on WIFI while I work on things I don't want my primary device to be close to.
Beeko's Liquidsmooth has run quite well also. I can't wait until his PacLP build is available.
But yeah as Beeko said backup and try them both. If they don't work for you right now you can get right back to where you are. :good:
Just so people know too, on 5.x.x you can choose where Android installs apps and stuff by going to Settings, then Storage, then click on Apps under the Total Space. You will now be in a new window, just hit the menu button up top and choose Preferred Install Location.
Does liquidsmooth need the custom recovery? Is the rom based on mdmowers?
One of the biggest issues I have on cm11 is running out of space on data for apps. Even moving to SD does not help because data and davlikcache still take up space. Mdmowers solution sounds great. I didn't quite understand with liquidsmooth, does that offer a solution as well?
As for gapps,my question was really regarding which package (micro, nano, etc). Specifically the ones that replaced stock apps. Especially the camera app.
In the end I think I'll either wait too see when the camera issue gets fixed with liquid Smith or just go with mdmower.
I still don't understand what liquidsmooth offers that mdmower does not. Or more simply, why was it created if mdmowers already existed.

No you don't need custom recovery for Liquid yet, haven't decided if I want to add it in yet. Maybe I'll take a poll. But Liquid offers much more for customization if you want to customize LP more than CM. Gapps doesn't matter, just depends on your preference.

What did you mean by "you can choose where Android installs apps and stuff"?
on CM11, I'm running out of space due for apps because of apps, app data (even for some sd apps), and davlik cache for all apps. Does this option that you refer to allow all this to be moved?

Yeah, I know on 5.x.x roms only.
I just know that I have space issues with apps, data, davlik cache with CM11 so I assume I'd have the same issues in CM12.
Mdmower's data swap thing sounds like a solution.
However if 5.x.x roms allow you to save an app (including data and davlik cache) elsewhere, then there's no need for the swap and that should solve the issue.
Is that correct?
The option in the menu says "Removable SD card"
but it does change it to the internal storage partition just like MDMowers partition swap.
@Beeko is this a liquid smooth change or is it in 5.0.x?

It's a change in 5.x.x every LP ROM should have it.
Must be how the partitions are laid out. On my Nexus 5 & 7 it doesn't give the option even with a USB drive attached but they of course don't have a SD slot. I'll have to check out the wife's Nook HD when I get home. :good:

I wonder if the app data, cache etc, also gets moved to the SD or if that still gets stored in /data like in CM11
By "removable SD card", does that mean the actual external SD card?
I wonder if there are any performance issues, or issues when you remove the card or mount it when connecting to a computer
It said Removable SD card but the App got installed on the 4GB internal partition. Haven't had time to look any further than that.
Looks like it doesn't really work right now Been testing apps and they're all downloading to the internal storage not the SD.

I guess I'll test MDMower's first. Then switch over to yours when I get a chance.
If you do decide to switch over to the modified recovery, that will making switching back and forth alot easier.
However, if CM12 ever becomes official, then I'm guessing the modified recovery wont be compatible with CM's auto-update notification (which I've found to be really nice)
Seemed to work for me they installed to the internal SD card.
Installed CSR Classics and Galaxy on fire 2.

Hey, Just got a 32gb touchpad
I want to run Android 4 on it, but i see multiple roms there. Was wondering which one has the least bugs. Im hoping for a fully functional one, but not sure whats there. CM9 seems fairly broken.
Im looking for a fully functional non WEbOS if someone could poitn me to one
Thanks!
I'm not one to complain, but there have been quite a few of these threads started recently... such as:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618380
As far as CM9 goes, I have been running the Alpha 2 version and have absolutely no problems with it besides the camera and mic not working, and the sound issue while the screen is off. ClassicNerd and AOKP are some good alternatives and they have a lot of support, but there are more. Best place to start is the great sticky post by MindSplit : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552196
If you see CM9 as "broken" then dont bother with Android on your TouchPad. All CM9 ROMs are about the same as far as how stable they are. And all CM9 ROMs just about have the same issues. They are all built from the same source.
It multiboots tho, so i assume i can install as many things as i want..

You can only install one version of android.
I currently use ClassicNerd Rom and love it. Yes, like stated earlier they all are still a little buggy. However it is very cool to multi-boot(moboot) between webOS and android . On the Android side I'm able to download apps from the market and play a load of games. PM me and I will point you to the instructions I used.
Im running CM9 now! THis thing FLIES, only bug i really care about is the audio distortion when the screen is off one, but nbd really!
Question: If i want to Update CM, i just place it on the SD and install via CWM right. How does Moboot know its CM? If i installed another rom via CWM would Moboot properly boot into it?
AND
Is the storage shared? As in, if i boot into WebOS, will it see all the files on the 32gig storage that android sees?

Yes. just place it on your sd card and install in clockwork. It's wise to wipe cache and dalvik before you flash. There may be times when you get more than one android version show up on moboot if it is two completely different ROMs but you just need to delete the other listing. there are tutorials on how to do that. and your sd card is shared. it's structured a little differently in each OS but it all shares the same storage.
Thanks a bunch guys!
One last question
I have a bunch of apps backed up via Titanium off my GSII, can those be restored safely onto the touchpad(non system apps ofc)

Known Issues:
After 4 touches, touch driver freaks out
Epic Citadel ( Unreal Engine 3) FC on touch.
Notified Mik_os about them (something went wrong from 4.1.2 ->4.2.2)hopefully we will see them squashed when and if he finds time....
Reserved for happyness. Thank you sooo much!
Thank you! im downloading right now :fingers-crossed:
Thanks Demetris.
Couple of 1st impressions:
1) The ROM seems to have reversed the mounting for internal (emmc) and external sd cards. Is this by design or is it a bug?
2) I really liked the large status bar icons in your CM10 rom as they are easier on the eyes. Is there any way to make the icons (clock, battery, etc) larger in this rom?

All data is defaulted to internal sdcard by design and imo this is the correct way and if you search around you will find that when otherway around when there isnt one ext-sdcard in the nook the mounting has bugs.
How to add and remove tablet quick setting, I can't find the option for it, the rom only allow me edit the default JB tiles and layouts
Because the sdcard was mounted as internal storage, so all data and installed apps will disappeared. How to reversed it without reinstall again.
I currently have your other ROM installed (SGT7+CM10+Cherry Picks), can I update to this new one without a full wipe? And also will the sdcard switched to internal storage mess up the currently installed apps like the previous posters have mentioned?

To enable it go to about tablet and tap build number 7 times (from memory) I think.
It has been hidden by default for some reason.

The EMMC/SD swap has made it so that games and other things that require the SD space will not install.
EDIT: Yeah, the apps themselves will install to "internal", but wish to store their massive obb data on the SD card which now only reads as 1GB.

You obviously need to repartition your nook.
Runs beautifully for me. Just to let you know, if you drain it to 0 and it turns off, and your nook cable has broken (as they easily do), it will take ALL NIGHT for it to turn back on with trickle charge. I plugged it into a cell phone charger, which didn't work at all, but then used a cable for external 2.5" hard drives, the type that has two usb plugs, one for power and the other for power and data, and left it overnight.
THAT worked. Just sayin'
But this seems to be the case with the slow charging (whether Nook cable or regular usb) with ALL of the 4.2 roms that I have tried (even 4.1). Oh well. Not a problem for me, but just in case someone else has that problem.
On the other hand, I have not used a rom on the nook yet which I like better or has been more stable for me than this one. Good job demetris!

Sorry, it wasn't as obvious to me because it was never an issue with any other rom that was ever released. ever. Thanks for your help. I do enjoy your mods and the time you put into it.
Far and away my favorite ROM. There's nothing out there that's as stable for me as the SGT/Cherry Pick ROM.
Re: [ROM]{WIP} SGT7+CM10.1+Cherry Picks,By meghd00t. 31/01/13
Meghd00t- will you be updating based on kuzmas 2/06 release? I ask because I saw you released a kernel in that thread, and I was wondering if it should be flashed over this ROM, etc. I prefer to stay with your versions as they are always speedier for me. I have noticed, I am again experiencing that when plugging in to charge, I have to turn on the screen until it says or shows charging, though this is a very minor issue. Thanks again!

I've recently installed AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.2) Task650 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808015) and the basic install seemed to go very well. I came from stock 4.0.4 (rooted) and for the record I'm using Recovery 6.0.3.0 and I did a full wipe including format system, data, cache, dalvik etc. I installed the new gapps after the ROM, and later restored apps using Titanium.
I have a few issues I can't quite sort out though, and I'm not sure if they are JB, Nova or AOKP related so I thought I'd start a new thread.
1) Lockscreen doesn't appear. At all. When I wake the tablet up, it just comes straight back on to the previously used screen. I've checked all the standard Security settings (unlock mode set to slide or pattern, lock on power button, etc) and also the fancier AOKP ones, but whatever I do the lockscreen just does not appear. I've re-cleared cache and dalvik.
2) Notifications are not showing in the Notifications area. I can see the AOKP 'Toggles' icons/tiles for wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, etc; the clock; the battery level; the wi-fi SSID, etc - but no general Notifications at all (e.g. list of any updated apps, any download statuses, Poweramp mini controls, new emails/facebook messages, Samba active display, etc).
When these various notification are issued, I do see them appear briefly in the lower-right corner in a grey rectangular box which covers the clock/battery area of the status bar (so the notifications do appear to be triggering) but as soon as that brief message disappears, I can't see any of the notifications within the pop-up notifications area where they should be.
Does anyone familiar with JB, AOKP or this particular ROM have any suggestions, as I'm as a loss at the moment?
Andre
Ah, no-one with any ideas of where these issues might be coming from then?
I might have to try another full-wipe install, and if that fails just go back to stock 4.0.4 until (if ever) Samsung releases a JB update for the original 10.1 tab.

I'm not familiar with that rom, but there are a few things you can try.
1. Try posting in the development thread, it might be a known issue that has a quick fix.
2. If you really want to stick with that rom try the full wipe again. But since you already started with one I don't know if it will fix the problems.
3. If you want to stay with jb I would recommend Aopk build 6 by djmatt604. It runs smoothly and the dev is pretty active.
Hope this helps even a little.

Many thanks for the reply. I have searched and asked in the dev's thread, but I get the very clear impression that if it works on his hardware and no one else has the same problem, his opinion is that it's 100% up to me to sort it out - which is entirely his prerogative, of course: his ROM, his thread, his rules.
Thanks for the recommendation of another AOPK option (I assume you mean [ROM][P7510][4.2.2][UNOFFICIAL] AOKP Build 6 :: MR1 :: Mar 29 Nightly). I think I might go down that route since, like you, I'm rather dubious that another full-wipe will be any different to the first one.

Yup that's the one. I'd recommend doing a full wipe on the first install to avoid issues. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I went with [ROM][KERNEL][RECOVERY][JB4.2]Infamous AOKP 1.4 (14-Apr-13) in the end, from the same dev you suggested. I added Nova as my launcher and it all works like a charm (well, after I recovered myself from a stupid near-brick when I decided to format the user sdcard in order to clear out any remaining junk from old installs; it cleared out a lot more than I wanted!!!)

Yeah, I usually just wipe data / Factory reset when doing a full wipe and then go in manually and clean out folders that I don't need to clear space. SD maid is a good app for clearing unused space too.

Yeah, I'm normally the same but I thought I'd be nice and thorough for once and get rid of any remaining legacy ICS stuff which some JB updates shove into hidden folders when you upgrade. In hindsight, I shouldn't have bothered.
Still, at least when I finally did get the system recovered enough to install the new ROM, the free space was amazing!

I think the problem may have been with something that Titanium Backup restored from my previous setup, but I never found out what. I had to do a factory reset to clear it in the end (although not a full ROM reinstall).
As I'd already gone that far though, rather than risking re-installing apps again I actually chose another ROM anyway - Infamous (see above) - which I'm very happy with, and the devs there seem much happier to talk to you in general. Just my observation anyway, your experiences could well be quite different of course.

I am rooted on a Verizon Note 2 Android 4.1.1 using Exynos Abuse. I used the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to keep from being updated or whatever. I have heard Verizon just rolled out 4.1.2. I would like to update.
Could someone explain how to do this without losing my root? I would like to remain w/ the ease of Exynos but if i need to learn to do it another method I guess i will.

With mine i did a back up of my root, defrosted SDL (had it frozen for some reason,maybe to keep myself from auto accepting updates?), ran the update, after a couple reboots. Opened Voodoo and restored my root and i was good to go.
Good Luck
Ok. trying to figure out exactly how to do that. I used OTA Rootkeeper to 'unroot' my device. Basically i pressed the Temp.un-root button. closed program. I don't even know what SDL is so i am pretty sure it isn't frozen.
Next i went to setthigns and About phone -- pressed Software update. after about 10 seconds i get a pop up that says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.
So it won't update. Not sure what i am doing wrong
curious
Curious as to why you would want to upgrade to 4.1.2 when the hacks and mods available on 4.1 far exceed that of which 4.1.2 offer. you should have all apps in multi window.. 23 toggle task manager.. with root you can freeze or disable all bloat just curious?
Seriously its a very very minor update if I upgraded it would be to 4.2 and the very least

you have a very good point. I have no real reason. I just figured 'latest and greatest.' I do, however, want to be able to do it when the time comes 4.2. I really don't run any mods. I only am rooted for the ad blocker and titanium backup. I am looking up 23 toggle task manager now.
I guess i thought i was missing out on something if i don't update. I read in another thread someone talking about the "radio" being updated. I don't have bad reception or anything , but i get nervous when i see something like that is updated and i dont know if mine is 'good enough' anymore.
edit: ok i googled "23 toggle task manager" with quotations.. this tread is the only one on the entire internet that showed up as a result. Is there a different name for that mod?
where would i find it, or info about it?

I guess i thought i was missing out on something if i don't update. I read in another thread someone talking about the "radio" being updated. I don't have bad reception or anything , but i get nervous when i see something like that is updated and i dont know if mine is 'good enough' anymore.
edit: ok i googled "23 toggle task manager" with quotations.. this tread is the only one on the entire internet that showed up as a result. Is there a different name for that mod?
where would i find it, or info about it?

My advice is hit it with Adams casual and unlock the bootloader and of course twrp. I am seeing a fair number of people on your situation losing root and ending up with messed up phones.
Get it unlocked do you are safe moving forward.
Then all you have to do is use twrp to flash bean's stock 4.1.2 which is rooted. He had that up within hours of the update rolling.
Your check for updates is failing because at some point you renamed the apk for it to prevent updates. I forget the name of it. It's mentioned here somewhere.
Thanks to everyone that helped and thanks to lwsoccjs for the link to 23 toggle. I ended up taking the plunge and doing casual and teamwin last night as TonikJDK suggested. I have kind of been wanting to do it anyway but wasn't sure where to start. After reading TonikJDK's post i looked up Casual read a few how-to's about it. Seemed pretty easy. (so far so good)
I upgraded to 4.1.2 using 'beans' version. I think i may still use 23 toggle though. I will probably experiment now with a few different roms just to see what is out there, but i will probably end up keeping it stock, assuming i don't find something that blows it away.
Any suggestions on where to start for a few roms to 'play with?'
I am quite sure i want to keep with a touchwiz style ROM but i may try a 100% stock android becasue this is my first android and i've never used 100% stock before.
Is there a main depository of ROMS? a one-stop-shop so to speak?
thanks again for the help! I hope you guys didn't send me down the path to a new 'addiction!'

There isnt really a one stop shop for rom on the Note 2, XDA has pretty much everything posted to it thats available for the VZW Note 2. There may be one or 2 mods posted to rootzwiki that arent on XDA but I havent really checked it out because a lot of it is outdated and the mods I use are posted here, on the S3 it was a whole different story.
As for trying AOSP, stock android, I would advise you do it just to see how you like it. I was new to AOSP with my S3, all my other phones had locked bootloaders to that point, and I gave it a try and absolutely loved it. All I ran on my S3 was ParanoidAndroid and MIUI. You may decide you dont like it as much as stock TW on the Note 2 but its always good to test it out and see for yourself because its such a different experience.
A few things to remember with AOSP are that when you flash it your SD card has to be FAT32, NTFS definitely doesnt work and I dont think exfat does either but I may be wrong with exfat. If you dont have your card formatted as FAT32 it will corrupt everything on your SD, of course when you format the SD card (if it isnt already FAT32) you need to make a backup of everything on it because formatting wipes the card. Also when switching to AOSP, 4.2 and up, it has a different file structure than 4.1 which is what we have. That means your stuff will be in a different location on your SD card after you flash an AOSP rom but it isnt hard to find. Also when you switch back to TW you have to flash a SD card zip, that restores the file structure to what it was when you were using Touchwiz, after you flash the rom.
If you want some suggestions I would recommend Cyanogenmod is the closest you can get to straight AOSP until someone builds straight AOSP for our phone,ParanoidAndroid is Cyanogenmod based AOSP that lets you change apps to different modes to looks like tablet or phone apps and looks excellent on this phone just because of its size, and Vanilla Rootbox is Cyanogenmod based (as are pretty much all AOSP apps unless its straight AOSP) AOSP rom with things taken or kanged from ParanoidAndroid and others.
I prefer Vanilla Rootbox and ParanoidAndroid on this phone just because they both have some amazing features that make this phone more of what it should have been in the first place IMHO.
The S-pen will still work on AOSP roms but it wont have the features it does on a TW based rom because it is dependant on TW. A remedy to that is GMD Spen control, you can get it from the Play store, a little over $5 if I remember correctly, but you can even use it on TW and it adds a whole slew of features that really should have been in the stock TW rom.
I may be forgetting something seeing as how I wrote this up for a friend a few days ago, he got his first android and it happens to be a Note 2. I really feel as if I did but can't think of what it is....
If you have any more questions just ask away and someone will answer them!

Thanks for the suggestions. Could you elaborate on the above. What stuff will be moved? Lots of stuff? will i even realize it ? does putting back just mean renaming folders?
What does "i have to flash a SD card zip" mean? Do u mean for the ROM or is there a way to restore file structure w/ some sort of hack or something?
Also, what do you think of Liquid Jellybean? I saw it available when looking at GooManager. Thought it would be a good one to check out. Version 2.3! it will be years before Verizon catches up to that.
~EDIT~
Recently I rooted and flashed CM 11. Any time I try to go and play a video, whether it's from the internal storage, sd card, or stream from a website, I just get "Can't play video."
Does anyone know of any reasons why this would be happening and how how to fix it? Or any suggestions? Should I reflash?
Also, usually when you hold down the Droid Home button you get a list of all recent apps as well as a link to the Task Manager at the bottom. There is no such link now though. Is this an Android Kitkat thing or a CM thing? How do I get to the Task Manager?

There seem to be pretty significant shortcuts/features missing and I can't tell if thats because it's kitkat, or because it's CM.
Example:
1.) Sound - ~EDIT~ Found "Sound" button. Wishing it had "vibrate" mode but at least now I can Toggle normal/mute.
2.) Brightness - On this one, there is a Button that takes you to a brightness bar, which is fine... but it won't let me select "Auto". It seems more like a glitch than anything when I tap it.

Thank you ^_^ Fair enough, She can definitely live without them.
Now its just a matter of understanding why videos can't be played. It wouldn't have anything to do with which gApps I used would it?

Videos cannot be played because of a kernel bug. The CM11 Official Nightlies have this issue fixed.
If you are running the official CM11 nightlies, what build number is it? Could be a regression.
I apologize,
Ive been checking for updates periodically, but Im not very familiar with what nightlies are. I figure these are updates/patches that are done on a nightly bases.
Right now my CyanogenMod Version is
11-20131220-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim
Build Number:
cm_acclaim-userdebug 4.4.2 KOT49H e9e3ba9b67 test-keys
Thanks to your post, I went ahead into "About Tablet" and then into CyanogenMod Updates to take a closer look. Since flashing CM11 Ive only been checking "New Versions (Stable only)", but I didn't even realize you can change which updates you can search for... so again I thanks to your suggestion I changed it to "Update types: New Versions (incl, Nightlies)"
Three options became available... so I downloaded cm-11-20140218-NIGHTLY.
Should I install?
I'd suggest trying the M3 snapshot: cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-acclaim.zip (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/58498/cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-acclaim.zip).
Awesome,
As always, thank you very much
Now, Is that something I could just download and run straight from the tablet main UI? Or would I download it, put into same bootSD card I used to flash CM, reboot nook into recovery and then flash the snapshot zip? Either way isfine, just want to know which way to go.

You have to flash the zip via recovery (either TWRP or CWM, depends on what you have installed).
Make sure to do these things while in recovery, before flashing the zip. Do *not* touch /rom, /factory, /recovery:
1. wipe cache partition;
2. wipe dalvik-cache;
3. wipe data partition;
4. wipe system partition;
5. NOW you can flash the zip.
