[Kindle Fire Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
Ive got HULU up and running perfect on my Kindle Fire. I thought I would share how I did it. First off you need root, and custom recovery. Then you need to use this rom here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 which is a custom rom Based on the stock 6.2.2 release. Other than the rom being awesome it also poses as a Samsung Galaxy Tab that allows for a lot of apps that use to show as incompatible are now available. Some work, some dont. But one that does is Flash Video Browser, which is only .99 cents. I had already paid for this and was using it on my Evo 3D, and my Evo View, but it wasnt compatible with my Fire until now. I was able to install, and it works perfect. So I know this is a lot to do just to get Hulu on the Fire, but I was using this Rom for other reasons and this was just an added benefit!! Hope this helps someone.

I am having problems with the email set up. It sets up OK but does not download emails from the inbox. It downloads sometimes on an irregular basis. There seems to be no problem in sending emails.The email is a pop3 account. Is anyone else having problems??

whenever i go to google and start typing in something to search the moment i get one letter in, the screen changes to the google results screen and i have to click the search box numerous times to get it to work. once i finally do theres a 1sec delay from when i type the letter to when it appears on the screen. anyone have that issue?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ashtear:
Question: if the kernel will go into deep sleep whenever it has nothing to do, what is the benefit in regards to power consumption of pinning the clock speed real low when the screen is off?

I ask because common knowledge, at least from what I've seen around, is that the low-clock "screen off" profile is common sense. But today I tried not having that profile, and I see that the CPU goes into deep sleep a lot more time now, and my battery life is the same if not actually better than before.

True, ROMs and kernels are still changing so much that it's difficult to dedicate enough time to one configuration to actually determine it's efficiency over time, which is why I wanted to throw this out here, see if anyone with more knowledge can answer.

If the CPU is under a certain amount of load, I would imagine that, for instance, in an Ondemand governor with a very low Up Threshold, the CPU will spike to a high speed until it's done, then sleep the rest of the time until the next load. If constrained to a low clock speed, it'll work on it, slow but steady, until it's done.

Is the high voltage required for that spike offset by the voltage savings of going to sleep, and is the total voltage consumption at the end of the load lower than the alternative, that is, stick to a low clock cycle, consuming what I assume is lower voltage, but for a longer amount of time? Is voltage consumption as clock cycle speed increases linear, or exponential?

If the power consumption increases exponentially as clock speed increases linearly, then it might be better for power consumption to restrict the processor to lower speeds. But if power increase is linear, then it would be better, I believe, to let the CPU finish with it's load as fast as it can, so it can go to sleep faster.

Any thoughts, ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TonyApuzzo:
To Quote from Wikipedia's Overclocking page:

I know nothing about the Galaxy S II specifically, but most Android phones scale both voltage and clock-speed together, leading to exponential power increases when clocking up. Thus, in theory, you should see better battery life with a lower CPU limit with screen-off.

If in your case you have constant voltages across the board, that would explain why you see no benefit from a screen-off profile.

Finally, if you do have constant voltages across clock-speeds, then you probably could lower your voltages at lower speeds and thus realize a benefit.

YMMV, of course :-)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] beyondfreaks:
I know help threads are a bit annoying but I couldn't find a solution even after searching for a whole day so finally thought I should post it here.

I had Stock 2.3.4 running on my Ace, I decided to install GingerCrutz and installed CWM and wiped everything and flashed with GingerCrutz2.2 IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

Problem:-

As said in the tutorial [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1324628 ] I downloaded GingerCruzt 2.3 and when I flashed it from CWM it shows error. Someone had same problem which was fixed by MOUTING /SYSTEM, I tried that too, but error again!!

Is there any way I can install GingerCrutz2.3 update on my Ace? Please tell me.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] beyondfreaks:
Thank you for the quick reply, I wanna know the method to install CWM5 is simply flashing it or any other way.

I searched and found something like 'fastboot' and all, I hope simple flashing should be the trick.

Hold down both volume buttons and power all at the same time. It takes about 10 seconds and that will reboot your device. As soon as it restarts you can get to recovery by then holding volume down.

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] LomanDev:
The default tts that comes with the kindle fire (Pico) sounds kind of bad and robotic and there's no way to change to a different engine in the Kindle Fire settings.

There are a couple better sounding TTS engines on the android market, one of them is SVOX Classic TTS and this guide will show you how to install it and set it as the default TTS engine.

I got this idea from Lionclaws GPS Navigation with TetherGPS post.I wouldn't have been able to figure out how to do this without his post.

Requirements

ADB - See this link to see how to install it for the Kindle Fire. Also you must make sure the 'platform-tools' folder in the SDK folder is in the system PATH variable.

kfire_svox_tts.zip - Attached to this post.

SVOX Classic TTS - Install from Android Market

One of the SVOX voices - Install from Android Market, there are trial and paid versions

Connect the Kindle Fire to the PC, execute this in a command prompt to verify that your kindle is connected

adb devices

download kfire_svox_tts.zip and extract it to a folder, run the kfire_svox_tts.bat file and wait for it to complete. Your kindle should now be restarting. (If you get an error 'Can't access SDCard' then restart the kindle again)

open up the Android Market and search for 'SVOX Classic TTS' and install it

You can go ahead and open it and play samples of the different voices to see which one you like the best.

Now search for the Svox Voice that you like on the Android Market, (There are trial versions available) and install it.

Keep the android market open and click the 'open' button after the SVOX voice is installed. Install the voice data. (I only know how to configure the installed voice by opening it from within the android market since no icon shows up in the installed apps list. If anyone knows how to make a shortcut to the voice settings let me know)

Enjoy.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] takwohk:
It worked!!! But how to select different voice if I installed more than one?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Dreistul:
Just tried it using "Victoria" and Moon+ Pro. Works great.

However, in the batch file, you have a line that doesn't make much sense and errors out.

C:\whatever\kfire_svox_tts>insert into tbl1 values('goodbye', 20);
'insert' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

At first I assumed this is meant to get executed by sqlite3 like all the other insert queries, but settings.db doesn't have a table called tbl1 either. Considering it isn't giving me any problems, I'm not going to mess with it.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] webslinger283:
Thank you for writting this up....i have done everything and it all seemed to work....however when you sya "open up the android market" where on the fire am i supposed to do that? I have not rooted so i am not sure where i am supposed to get the market...much less how to install from the market. Any help would be appreciated!! thanks again!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] jdommer:
If you haven't rooted your kindle, you'll want to look into Sideloading as svox doesn't seem to be available from the amazon store. Just Google sideload kindle fire, there're many guides and youtube videos.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] jdommer:
What voice would you like to do?

To choose Olivia (the Australian voice), change the line

sqlite3 settings.db "insert into secure values(NULL,'tts_default_country', 'USA');"

to

sqlite3 settings.db "insert into secure values(NULL,'tts_default_country', 'AUS');"

if you already ran the batch file - and I'm assuming you did, instead remove all the sqlite3 commands from the batch file (make a copy) and where they were, insert this line:

sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value='AUS' where name='tts_default_country';"

The only other voice I own is Victoria, I can look at what the country code is for that, although I'm guessing "UK" :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mxpxboi:
This isn't working for me, the batch file has tons of errors. But it does restart the Kindle at the end. But I think every other command has an error.

What could be wrong here?

I was just about to post the same for Orange County. Just came on hours ago. Speed test yielded 20,000 for down but was having trouble finishing the up test.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Ahh, gotta love how AT&T is spreading LTE faster then they said they would... their determined.

Also, has anyone noticed lag on the Vivid? I've had lag while just switching home screens, and I was playing with an Evo 3D at best buy today, had no lag switching home screens, opens apps, even scrolling through the app drawer.... Maybe I should do a factory reset.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
I do like the early LTE deployment here, really didn't think SoCal would be getting LTE until middle of next year.

Regarding the lag, not really experiencing any at all. Like most here, I'm actually surprised how smooth the Vivid is right out of the box. You probably need to do a factory reset to bring the speed back.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Lucidmike:
Even at the time of all the hype about Galaxy Nexus (Droid Prime), AT&T LTE seemed like a distant future. I love it how AT&T got 2 devices out, and rolled out LTE, before the Galaxy Nexus became available. It still isn't shipping!

Keep in mind it is just a test run, speeds may vary with full launch and network saturation etc.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Hmm... it could be that you guys don't officially have LTE yet.

I had one bar of LTE when I did this speedtest

Amazing speeds.

And I hate that I probably have to do a factory reset... but if I want that speed back, I'll do it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Wait, what?

You expected LTE to perform better than your home internet?! Did I miss something here?

I'd be surprised if it even comes remotely close, judging how crappy mobile data speeds have been ever since I've been using it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Ha, as funny as it sounds, yes we are expecting it to be faster. From some of the tests I've seen with the LTE, it is able to do upwards of 45 (but that's with no load) I'm getting 25 down and 2 up from my cable at home, and so far in my area the best I've seen is 20 down and 5 up.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Lucidmike:
My home internet is 2.5mbps (AT&T DSL). So my LTE device now is 4x faster when it does a meager 10mbps in Los Angeles.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Considering the post just above yours show's precisely that...

AND the fact that I routinely get 7-8mbps with peaks of 10-11mbps on hspa+

Yes, yes I did expect LTE to be more than twice as fast as hspa.

And yes I did expect the speeds I have seen others get.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Sooooo...

It's still on.

I expected it to be gone when I woke up this morning... But I'm still rockin the LTE badge..

I asked the guy at the Verizon store and he said it has to do with wireless charging but that didn't make sense to me since it has contacts and wireless charging requires a different back cover.

There's no mention of them in the user manual.

Holy test points!

I can only imagine that the holes that lead into the CDMA antenna contacts are for test points, as there is probably little reception inside the factory and an auxiliary antenna might be used to obtain a signal. OEM accessory covers, like the wireless charging and extended battery covers, do not have these holes, nor would they be needed since they are not supplied with the base unit.

I saw somewhere that perm root has been achieved, but it is not being released because it could be hard to fix if you screw up the system partition.

Heres the thing though...

Don't we have the recovery files that can reflash the shipping OS version?

Also seeing as how we do not have S=Off that means we can't screw up the hboot or really flash anything that is "unautorized".

That means we could fix any issues by reflashing the stock software right?

Or is the perm root not being released because the method is too difficult.

If that is the case, I understand not wanting a bunch of casual flashers/rooters attempting this, but there are those of us that can actually follow instructions well. Heck I even rooted my old Nexus One without using the official unlock command. It involved switching SD cards at just the right moment while running special scripts for ADB and other craziness.
