I have been experiencing freezes as well on the newest build in various games, while using tapatalk, reading, I can't pinpoint anything specific that seems to cause them.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jerry247:
I love the background!

as someone said ota rootkeeper unroots temporarily. I've been using playon with a better than stock video player (haven't settled on one yet). Unfortunately the lending library is on kindles only; I have a kindle I use for reading so I don't get screwed.

Jerky Video

I've downloaded the latest build (1-29) and everything is looking good, but when I play video's it play's for a sec, then pauses for a sec, then plays for a sec, then pauses a sec. It was nice and smooth under 1-20. Of course Netflix doesn't work yet, but that wasn't in this release.

I did resets of Cache/Daivik/Factory/Battery/System. all that I could twice and redownloaded the update to make sure it wasn't something I had done.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I just checked, for me I did not have any issue. I tested the YouTube app, I did have to turn off HD, but that is known.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SkipKelley:
This is with movies I have copied over from my PC. Not a biggie, I'll check the next version. I've done a little more testing and mp4's/avi play ok, but 3gp have an issue. Something to look at as we go along

FYI, flashing a rom over an existing kernel will replace the oc kernel for the stock one. Unless, you remove the boot.img from the rom, which is not recommended.

Ok, I'm using MoboPlayer and it is running fine. What app are you watching your videos on?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
Okay guys, found a fix for getting rid of the Japanese keyboard. Just use titanium backup or your choice of pleasure and uninstall or delete openwnn.apk from system/app. Revxx14, if you could add this to the spreadsheet? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
Also, I noticed on the spreadsheet that you can't wifi tether from your phone to tablet, but I have done it multiple times. My phone is also Android
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
I have a request from this ROM if someone can pull it off.

I have TWO Kindle Fire AC chargers from Amazon, and I've seen this with both of them. I plug in the Fire, and the battery indicator shows the 'charging' lighting bolt, and the orange light on the button is on: BUT IT'S NOT CHARGING.

On the Stock ROM, you see this as a difference in the battery indicator. If it's really charging, the battery indicator fills with a green color that steps up from current charge level to max, and repeats. This tells me it's charging.

Otherwise, I got the white battery fill that didn't move, telling me it was on battery even though the orange button-light was on.

So...is there a way to tell whether the thing is in the 'REALLY CHARGING' state and indicate it somehow? Right now I just have no idea....and even nudging the cord can make it 'stop' charging.

Thanks,

Randy

Dsp manager working for anyone? Did it work on any of then ICS builds or am I thinking cm7?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
Working great for me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mmtrago:
this may sound like a small problem..but getting the alarm clock to work would be awesome...i like clock app for ICS
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
That works for me. Just double checked and its worked the other 4or5times in the past. Is it force closing or something?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jbg1:
so after the freezes yesterday, i turned it on today and i let it sit for a while, first time i loaded up youtube i got the scrambled videos but then it cleared up and everythings been working great since, gonna test it more right now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
I've noticed this a lot as well. With CM7 too. Try charging with the screen turned off. It will indeed charge - at least on CM7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] csholmq:
If you go to Settings -> Battery and click on the graph you can view your charging progress.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
wait ... dsp manager is working with speaker but not headphones.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
Thanks for the tip, worked like a charm.

Easiest way for me

ES FileExplorer(free in market)

Go to setting and scroll all the way down to Root Explorer and check it

Then Mount File System right under that(Write on system duh)

Then copy into /system and bam was back up.

Someone pm'd me about not being able to go past "/sdcard"

Go into settings and change Home Directory from "/sdcard" to "/"

Some ppl were saying that hitting the back button pulled them out of ES FileExplorer

Hope this helps for other ppl... didnt want to adb push, at work and these dang computers suck....

I think its been like that could be wrong though...

EDIT:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Buffet_of_Lies:
Are the chargers the "official" wall warts that came with the Fire? The one I recieved is made by a Chinese manufacturer named "TPT" and it's rated for 1.8 Amps, which is a lot for a 5 Volt charger. The battery in the Fire is a big beast and I think it really requires a high amperage rating or else the charging will be slow or even non-existant as is the case if you try to charge directly from USB. What do your wall warts say on them? I'm just curious.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SkipKelley:
Found the problem

After applying the 1-29 rom, my video player was trying to use hw decoding, which has known issues. Switching it back to SW and all is good again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
The chargers are the "official" ones. They are identical (one came with the Fire and the other was ordered separately).

I appreciate that there are different ways I can see if it's charging, but those require me to launch an app and check in with it regularly. I was kinda hoping for a better battery indicator like stock or the CM version that i could just look at and know I hadn't bumped or wiggled the cord in such a way that it wasn't charging.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
If bumping the cord stops it from charging that sounds like a short. I think it doesn't charge because it uses too much power while active. Don't think there's anything we can do about that. Maybe fixing the CPU bug would help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fireblend:
Are "big games" (World of Goo, Plants vs. Zombies, Dead Space, Anomaly...) still not working? I'm guessing the compatibility issues are related to video HW acceleration. Anyone able to report on the compatibility status for games they've tried/played?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
I cant find my cable either... I always carry mine around in case of something but I will try when I get home and when I find the dang cable. I did see the double Gallery but simply uninstalling with Titanium Backup solved that issue. The search bar, someone found a fantastic work around/fix very simple to get by. Will give you any news when I get a chance.

---------- Post added at 06:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 AM ----------

I think some reported something about this 2 pages back. Might want to look back. I cant run GTA 3 but seems like it was one of the reported games to be messed up still.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
It comes from stress on the micro USB plug. A new adapter works fine until something pulls the connector so that it isn't a snug fit. In the stock ROM the climbing green bar would tell me whether the connection was good. I'm just hoping for something equally useful here.

I like the standardization of USB but I do envy apple connectors sometimes.

Ok, so I have the newest update from this and I am loving the look ans feel of the whole thing. The only problem I have is using YouTube in the browser. My girlfriend likes to watch videos that aren't available on mobile on the device. I have switched the user agent to desktop to load the standard version of YouTube website and it doesn't seem to want to play the video. It will always show the video duration being only 1 second and always at a black screen. Is there any way to fix this? Or will the YouTube app be the only way to look at videos with this rom?

Just tried out the official Kindle App for Tablets. This must be the worst reader ever, as the margin is HUGE and i can see exactly about 3-4 Sentences on a freaking 7 inch screen.

Is there any chance i can force installing the regular smartphone app which provides much more options? Or can i install the Kindle Fire version?

Some posts ago a user posted links to the kindle apps, but the kindle reader link just forwarded me to the android market with the regular tablet app.

Is there any workaround to this?

I updated this yesterday and am now having major problems!

Somehow my sd card got corrupted and many files are now missing after trying everything im stuck being able to only get into TWRP but all most all of the data is missing.

I cant install anyting because the images have gone?

I cant restore because the pakages are gone and when i connect to a pc my kindle is showing as a drive asking me to format so im unable to see whats going on!

So all in all not looking good :eek:

Any help in sorting this very muched welcomed
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Yes, but i don't want to have tiny text in order to see half a book page on the screen. This defeats the point of a 7 inch screen. It was so much better with the non-tablet version.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wcastillosalva:
conect you kf with the usb-cable

boot in twrp

tap wipe, sd card (this ereases all the data in your sdcard)

then tap the left triangle in the right corner

tap mount, mount usb storage

after that you could see your sdcard mounted in your pc

transfer VideoTouch1-29.zip and EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v10.4.zip to your sdcard

then tap unmount

then tap the left triangle in the right corner

flash the VideoTouch1-29.zip and EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v10.4.zip

wipe chache

wipe davilk-cache

it worked for me XD

woohoo i can post here lol

anyway just wanted to give a shout out to all the devs working on this, its great and it only gets better with each release

i have been using this for quite some time and havent had any major issues like others have had (sod's, cpu throttling, etc..)

cant wait for hardware video as netflix was one of the reasons i got the fire lol

but its still great

now im rambling, ill shut up now

Still learning about adb but will have to learn faster if I cant fix this, if I manage to push the file will it install by adb ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
Format SD card will be in wipe>sdcard

Then mount sdcard from twrp

Put the gapps and ROM in the same directory (on computer) as adb and use these commands:

Rename the ROM to ROM.zip and gapps to gapps.zip (for easier use)

Adb devices

Make sure there is a number

Adb remount
Adb push ROM.zip /mnt/sdcard
Adb push gapps.zip /mnt/sdcard

Then unmount via twrp and install and they should be there
[Kindle Fire Android Development] duquesa:
Thanks for this

In TWRP v2.0.0 wipe sd card only gives the option to wipe no format im afraid.

I have everything installed on my pc at work to adb but haven't installed the drivers at home, might do this now

hopefully last question re this

Adb push romname.zip /mnt/sdcard

Adb push gapps.zip /mnt/sdcard

where do the files need to be located on a pc for the adb to see them and push them?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
in the same folder that adb is in.

Did you rename the touchvideo1-29.zip to ROM.zip? Or the gapps to gapps.zip? That part was pretty important

Followed your instructions exactly renames the rom the same and the gapps and put therm in C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools which is where adb is ??

Found the device number in Adb devices attached its says recovery ?

So you're still getting the error? Did you make sure that ROM.zip isn't ROM.zip.zip? That sometimes happens to me.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] wmc90:
The Kindle Fire only has one digitizer (that's the glass panel :P). As for registering more touch points, I imagine it largely depends on what drivers we can get for it and whether they'll work with the kernel and so on.

From what I understand the Kindle uses a Wintek panel but I have no idea what model (and therefore what capabilities) it has. Judging from the touch response from a multitouch tester and how it reacts to crossing axis; it may support more touch points. The responsiveness on the panel is pretty shocking even in the stock ROM though so I don't know maybe its just a cheap panel to cut on cost.

Quick question for those who say they have tethering working. I'm assuming you're on the latest ROM for the Fire here, but what ROM are you running on your phones? I have a Droid X running the latest MIUI and can't get it to tether for the life of me I've tried wifi tether and open garden with no luck so I'm just wondering if it's my phone ROM or I should try re-flashing the Kindle ROM....

Theres and app that kinda works. Heres the link for that

https://market.android.com/details?id=ilitek.android

Now I only say kinda because I did see a dramatic change in touch responsiveness but when I reset my KF seems like it resets the settings I did and would have to re calibrate it again. Its a small deal but at least there's some way to get better touch responds. I dont know if its because of ICS, I did see some kinds of errors before running calibrate on CM9 were as on my other KF running CM7 it works perfectly. I think can use this for future insight of getting pass our 2 touch limit.

EDIT:

I had to go into Ultility and then Software reset and then I was able to use Calibration. If anyone runs into problems hope this helps.

I have my Droid X and Droid Razr here with me at work and I use them both to tether to my KF. On my Droid X Im on CM7 using Wireless Tether. Heres the link for it.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Download the latest beta and install it. When you tried to use Wireless Tether, did you have a passphrase/password on it and did you setup the device profile?

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM ----------

It may or may not be a Rom thing, more of a setup process. I had problems when I tried to tether from my Razr to my Transformer when I found out myself that Access Control was messing with things from seeing my SSID.

Here try this setup... let me know this works

1. After downloading and installing go into settings

2. Change Device Profile to Droid X(either CDMA or GSM depending your mod on phone)

3. Go to Enable WIFI-Encryption and check it

4. Change Passphrase and setup a basic password but following there instructions

5. *Optional Change SSID

That should be it. I didnt Enable Access Control because I ran into problems on my X.

I did enable Routing fix to be able to play on xbox live.

Try that out first and let me know what happens.
