Issues with Gallery

Hi folks,

Hope this isnt a question that has been asked before.

Ive used several version of this ROM on my KF now, and each one keeps getting better. The JackpotClavin010112 is the latest and the google apps work great, this time it pulled nearly all my apps down from the market, something that none of the other roms had managed.

Unfortunately, the gallery isnt working. It has worked fine with other roms, and the way I set it up this time is identical to before.

When I open gallery, it asks me to update G+, and opens the market. The version of G+ is the most up to date, so I close teh market and reopen gallery. This time it just tells me there are no images to display.

I have set sync up properly, like I say nothing has changed from before.

Ive done a complete factory reset, clear cache and dalvik, then re-install rom, gapps, and trebuchet. New two step authentication password then sync. Doesnt do anything, just the same blank screen.

Anyone else noticed the same, or suggest a solution? Im happy to experiment if any developers need me to throw some logs etc...

For the gallery problem, try installing this version of Google+.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] philwaud:
Wish there was a "mega thanks" button!, worked fine, thank you!

Thanks a lot. <3

Has anyone had their browser bookmarks successfully sync?

EDIT

: Solution for bookmarks not syncing:

1. Go to google.com/dashboard and delete all the Chrome user data

2. Log in to your google account with the sync option on the Chrome browser

3. Un-check and then re-check the sync option for 'Browser' in Accounts & Sync on ICS
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Mine have just fine, do you mean creating bookmarks on the device though? I've only tried syncing with my desktop bookmarks, haven't tested the other way around.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
Yea I'm trying to do what you did, syncing the bookmarks I have on my laptop from the Chrome browser. It just keeps saying 'Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.." when I click on the 'Sync Browser' option.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] philwaud:
Wireless issues (again!)

OK, flushed from the success of getting my gallery working, lets try this one...

Im not sure if this is just a general Android issue or just specific to this rom (jackpotclavin070112). I have read the thread (all of it!), and I know that some users have issues with wireless.

Wireless has worked fine for me, works on my home network and on all the public wifi hotspots that I use everything is fine.

The problem comes at work when I try to connect to the work network. We have two networks, one is WPA2 and the other is reported as WEP. I don't even try to connect to the WPA2 as the client needs to be a member of the active directory and the admins say they cant set this up.

On the WEP connection, I goto configure the wireless, copy and paste the long WEP key, goto advanced and type in the proxy settings. I know these are all correct because this is what I used to use on my iphone.

Im then taken back to the wireless settings screen, the WEP network is shown, but it doesn't say "acquiring IP address" as I would have thought it should. When I re-open the settings for the wep network, the key has disapeared.

My questions...

1. Is this something that is an issue with Android in particular (in which case I will look for solutions elsewhere...)

2. Is this an issue with this particular ROM, in which case is it a known issue or do I need to send in some log files or something?

Ive seen in some forums that you can add the network in /data/wpa_compliant but I cant even find this file! Can you add networks manually? Can anyone post a link with further info?

I really appreciate the work you guys are doing, Im trying not to send "wow thats great" or "this is broken" posts, but I think these may be new issues that havent been reported before.

Do your other Google services work alright?

Where's JackPot at? I wish he had a Google+ I could follow or whatever to see the status of the ROM.

Anyone from his team around?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Been working on the sound. Have made literally 0 progress in getting full sound in the past few days
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fleton:
That stinks. But keep up the good work, you are doing a great job on the rom so far :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
Ah, that must suck, really bad.. ;) but i guess what you really need is a fully working 3.0 kernel.

Thanks for the effort though, its really appreciated
[Kindle Fire Android Development] QuBe2:
is somebody already started building a 3.0 kernel?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
Yea, Hashcode has started working pn one, no ETA though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
I've noticed that several of the issues with getting hardware working has been in the realm of permissions and device symlinks, etc.

I'm a UNIX admin by trade, so if there are any goofy permissions or link issues you guys run across in development, please feel free to PM me and I'll see if I can point a UNIX-focused lens at them.

OP Update

Hey guys,

Not to sound like a nagging Nancy, but would it be possible to update the OP with the current status? It looks like it's been a while and I'm super super curious to see how the progress is coming along.

Thanks so much for an ICS build, I can't wait for the Alpha!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
That pretty much is the current status.

One Question:

On the first post its mentioned that you need to install nova launcher or trebuchet in order to have landscape support on home screen.

Isn't landscape a default feature for ics tablets? Or did Google change that? With honeycomb both view types (landscape, portrait) were supported ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
I think there was something that didn't work with the default launcher. Trebuchet is installed in the current ROM.

Hey, I had some similar issues. I'm assuming the issues you are having are with configuring the initial root because you do not have teamwin recovery installed yet. If this is not the case, forgive me.

My device wasn't recognized after following the rooting instructions posted around the interwebz and I got frustrated. After taking a break and a few shots of tequila, I went back to the beginning and followed this guys instructions to the letter:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KapnjR89ICA

After that all was well and my device was recognized by adb. Ofcourse I was curious as to why this didn't work so I looked deeper in to my process. At one point you are supposed to go into the .android folder and edit the driver. I was being a fool and left the text in the file when I was supposed to remove it all and put the 0x**** number in there so the driver was a bust.

Either way those instructions should get you going just remember start from scratch.

Let me know if this helps.

[edit: Nvm fixed it, damn my slow typing :)]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
Guys, please, please, PLEASE remember this is a dev thread. If you have support requests, create a thread requesting support (In the Q&A section!). Trying to find technical information that has been left by other devs is an absolute nightmare when wading through pages of support requests.

What should be posted here:

Bugs that are not on the bug list.

Technical information in regards to ICS and this ROM.

Fixes

What should not be posted here:

Support Requests!

ETA Requests.

Current Status.

In fact, if you're here asking a question that isn't directly related to the development of the ROM or ICS in general, then you're probably in the wrong place.

The easier it is for the devs to share information, the faster a working ROM will be released. Just take 5 minutes to read the OP, when new information is available bl1nk will add it to this.

Edit - Speaking of which, I just fixed the dictionary/predictive keyboard problem. I'll post a new ROM shortly :-)

[ROM][01 Jan] IceCreamSandwich Development/Discussion Thread

If you want this thread to be 100% development then why not 1) put that in the OP 2) remove "discussion" from the title?

Not really. There are posts from 2 days ago on the previous page, if you can't read the 10-12 sentences that are posted every 2 days then maybe you shouldn't be using forums? :P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll get bl1nk to update the title to Dev only if he's alright with that.

Edit - I'm not purposefully being an ass, but if people took a few minutes to read the OP or go through the thread (As you have indicated I should be willing to for dev info) 99% of the time they'll find that the information/question has already been provided/asked and answered.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] r0man:
I know you're not and I know that if people read the OP and the bugtracker they would ask less stupid questions but can you really ask that of the average XDA member?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
Just some feedback.. I think the rom is almost perfect and without a doubt good enough for daily use. The existing bugs are all minor I think and don't impact everyday use. Only thing missing is a volume option on the "Quick shortcuts" time menu :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
What we should be doing is avoiding a flame ware >.>

Although I do agree, this is both a discussion AND development thread, so any discussion related to ICS on KF is relevant. No need to spam the thread with arguments about how it's not, it's pretty clear in the title...And if anyone disagrees, feel free to start a new thread and post the link here so the people you think are in the wrong can move to where you think they should be :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gloos:
Well theres no sound so there's that, but apart from it you're right, its brilliant for daily use.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
Yea not fully, it was working fine for me for a while my niece was playing a game, but now it doesn't. So for that while I had forgotten it wasn't always working lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MDG420:
How would I go about flashing this - i'm on cm7 right now, would I need to go back to stock first? Sorry for the noob question lol i just don't want to mess it up again
[Kindle Fire Android Development] r0man:
Unless the sleep of death and random lock screen not loading have been fixed without me knowing this certainly isn't ready for daily use.

Also someone wiped the bug list so I can't tell if either thing was fixed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
Hey guys,

New ROM. Fixes the dictionary and predictive text issues. SDCard install is working, and it still hotboots when viewing apps/storage.

http://www.mediafire.com/?1ffegmaf4s1rawc
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
No, you don't have to go back to stock.

Go to TWRP, wipe everything (boot,system,data,caches) and flash the zip.

Remember that this is not meant to be a rom for daily use!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SP1986:
Oops ;)

Seriously wishing BootManager worked for the KF so I could have the best of both worlds

edit: is it theoretically possible to set up BootManager by manually inputting all of the information it requests? (What is your sdcardblock, what is your system's size in mb, what is your data's size in mb, what is your cache's size in mb)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
By the way: I updated the OP with a dictionary fix and a rom including all fixes.

Also Talk works now, new gapps are also there. :)

Bug Reporting

When I remove running apps, on that new ICS menu on the left its like I right click on a Pc after the app/service is killed.

Anyone else having this happen for each app you kill by dragging to the left.

Flashed this from twrp, it will just boot directly to recovery everytime?

The phone will not boot to the bootloader though, it will just goto recovery even when I type adb reboot bootloader.

It's in the bootloader before it boots your recovery. You can't even get into recovery without being in your bootloader.

Until you guys get a working ICS kernel, i dont think there is much hope for video and sound.

Has Hashcode gotten anywhere?

He's still working on it. Nothing working yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
They mean all the current fixes available, audio and video still doesn't work. Hashcode is working on a new Kernal that should fix video.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hachiueno:
Thanks for the great work! I think it works very good if you don't consider the video/audio issues, and I use it as my daily ROM without any limitations or problems. Some apps actually seems faster in this rom than in CM7, for instance Google Currents.

However, I got one question... does hardware acceleration works? Should I enable forced hardware acceleration under developer settings for better performance?

Thanks again for your efforts! The Fire becomes a much more 'real' tablet with ICS :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] philwaud:
Still some issues

Ive just tried your new rom (Kindle.Zone.ICS.12.28.11.v3), but still had some issues (it didnt stay on long so I cant comment very much). I did a full factory reset, erase sdcard, cache, everything i could do!

Major thing for me, the market only installs half a dozen apps, whereas the JackpotClavin110112 rom pulls all the apps down.

The kindle.zone did let talk run, whereas jackpotclavin's had it crashing straight away.

Trebuchet (the original .zip version) FCd q few times.

I rebooted into TWRP, factory reset, wip cache + dalvik, then installed JackpotClavin110112, then the latest gapps (from op), and the same trebuchet. All my apps were pulled down from the market, and everything has worked just fine.

I know its still work in progress, just wanted to report progress. We all know that video and sound doesnt work, the sound in particular is very strange, works for 10% of the time, then stops.

For me, its Ok for a daily as I only use it as an ebook, gmail etc, but look forward to these issues being sorted.

Kudos to the developers, keep at it guys!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Uejji:
I had this problem, too. I just reflashed the rom and gapps entirely and it started working after that.

You could probably just wipe cache and dalvik-cache. If not, just reflash everything (no need to factory reset).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lman00:
i actually reinstalled everything again, still not working.

will try it again reflashing them once more without factory reset :)

Edit:

1. i tried reflashing them without factory settings - when i was offline, it didn't crash, then i connected to a network and it fc-d constantly, didn't matter what i did

2. tried again - made sure when i started it, i was already connected to network - now it works

imho i think there is a bit of problem with sensing internet connection or sending intents, or i don't know.

Similar thing happened to me with market enabler. First it asked for superuser permission, after that it fc-d. The main market enabler worked fine, but i couldn't switch between carriers. Then data-clear, force stop, and next time it worked, when it didn't have to ask the user for superuser permissions. <- This was the third try. i tried reinstalling, removing from superuser, rebooting etc. Anyway strange. :)

Thanks for the tip

Edit2: great :/ i locked the screen, lost connection, again the endless FCs, only reboot helped

Edit3: even better... after 30 or so seconds it dies and the FCs start. The only error i see is: [Databaseutils] pruneOldMessageHistory and a camera info fatal exception: setfeaturestask

Hardware acceleration seems to work. 3D performance is fine.

You should NOT enable the forced hw accel, as this breaks stuff if it isn't tested with hw accel. It will still use hw accel when supported though. :)

The bug spreadsheet is totally confusing and distorted AGAIN. I believe this is really disturbing to the people who want to make good use of it. There are many open source bugtrackers available around the web and many free hosts too. I never posted on KF section because I'm really busy right now, but if we're taking this seriously - and we are - then it could be a good idea to really use something good for bug tracking.

A bug tracker can be really simple: admins which approve bugs, and bug forms that can be filled by anyone. Really simple and organized. Easy to give feedback when someone develops something about the bug; we can organize history of bugs, whatever.

Checking a few open source and free bug trackers:

WebIssues

Mantis

Trac (also a wiki)

Remember, it's just a suggestion, we can just keep up the way it is.

And keep up with the excellent work. You're really doing something awesome. I'm making sure to donate to each one of the true helpers of this journey.

On another site I'm participating in (http://www.dev.d2etal.com/projects/etal) we are using Redmine (http://www.redmine.org/) and (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redmine), which I like a lot :)

Just an idea - great job guys,

d=^_^=b

And I strongly agree that if the original post is going to have a link to a bugtracker, then it shouldn't be free to edit for everyone that visits the site - it COMPLETELY defeats the purpose of having one. You should probably remove the link in the OP till we get an organized bugtracker up and running with permission boundaries or similar.

Redmine is hands down the best after Trac, but why host it yourself? This is an opensource project, just use Google Code (my favorite) or Github which is already being used by the Cyanogen Team.

Anyway, been using this as my daily rom even with all the issues, keep up the great work guys!

Also wish I could help more with the development of it, but I'm just a web developer, mostly PHP, little Python and SQL. Need any help with any of that though let me know. Project management experience also if you'd like me to set everything up on Google Code and watch that...
