I foolishly tried to enable ART and got a bootloop. Now after wiping, reflashing, and downgrading TWRP, anything I try to flash won't get past the boot animation. I might have just bricked my KF.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
No, you have not.

Go to twrp and select reboot bootloader

Now you will be in fastboot.

Install cotr from here.

Flash any ROM BUT NOT KITKAT

Anyone have a flashable COTR around? I am having trouble flashing recover from adb.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Try Kindle Fire Utility

Anyone having issues flashing the Gapps from the OP? I was able to flash the 11252013 CM11 ROM with no problems but when I tried to flash the Gapps from the OP I get an error that the .zip signature verification failed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Just uncheck zip verification in settings.

On a completely unrelated note, whenever I try to flash the gapps (I've tried every gapps option out there. They all do this) TWRP just restarts. I need help!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
OK I'll try that. On a separate note I just tried to re-download "Just in case" and I get a second file that downloads called mobogenie.apk What the hell is that? I'm almost positive it has nothing to do with the Gapps.zip, right?

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

That was the ticket, thank you. Currently updating my apps on CM11.0.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Yeah that has nothing to do with gapps. I'd suggest downloading an Antivirus or just deleting that. You just redownloaded from this thread right?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SpudsterZ:
The site that gapps is on has misleading ads that just say "download". Make sure you click the middle one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] astrocrep:
Anyone know the status of OTG support? I am trying to use an old MS gamepad. It works on my nexus 7, but trying to make it function on the kindle. Running the CM11 beta from the first post. When I plug it in, the power light on the controller does not illuminate.

Thanks,

Rich
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I did click the middle one. Gapps started downloading and then the mobogenie.apk started downloanding a few seconds later. I'm running AVG antivirus but I'm guessing this isn't all that great now. Anywasy I just deleted the apk when it finished. CM11 is up and running.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] maltydog:
So far, the install is going generally okay and the rom seems pretty snappy. I have one issue. I have downloaded the Amazon Appstore from the Amazon website with my browser, and it installed okay, but I can't get it to open. I have a bunch of Amazon apps that I am backing of from when this was a rooted Modaco Kindle, and I assume I can't use them without the Appstore installed. Anyone else having this issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] maltydog:
So no one else is having the appstore issue? I see no replies here. Tried to delete and download the app again from the amazon website, no change.

Another question about this app. For WiFi MAC address, under phone/status it says "unavailable." Any way to fix this? I searched the thread and I see there were issues early on with MAC address, but nothing recently and obviously it was a very different rom then. There is no issue with my WiFi connection, but I would like to know the MAC address so I can firewall it in on my router at home.

Last of the CM patches were merged today and I have tagged the device as cm-11.0 ready. Hopefully, we'll see some cm11 nightlies soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] maltydog:
I have been running the latest version since it was posted here. First day it ran fine; on moderate use lasted a day and a half on a charge. So yesterday, I charged it up again to 100%, did one or two minor things with it, then set it aside for most of the day, did basically nothing else with it. A few hours later I picked it up and tried to start it; it would not light up. So I held the power button for 30 seconds to restart it, then turned it back on again. I was pretty surprised to see that the power was already down to 67%. Not sure what is happening here, but the power went down much quicker than the previous charge.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] donnelpa:

[MENTION=3962562]maltydog[/MENTION]

make sure brightness is not set to 100% its been a while since i was on the kindle forums but 100% used to have this effect as it kept it from deep sleep. also mine shuts off and needs a 20 second press of the power button if i have my cpu min set at stock setting, i always raise minimum up a level.

edit: i just checked and mines at 600 not 300. use trickstermod from playstore or something similar to change it.

Yep, the first official nightly with the official gapps is super smooth. Thanks so much Hash for keeping this fire alive!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] maltydog:
I am using the 11/19 Gapps with the new nightly and it seems to work fine. Still can't get the Amazon Appstore to load. Anyone else having that problem?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] conceptxo:
Official nightly 12/07 running smooth, although Google is convinced the device's location is in San Francisco. (Its not.)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Diesel6401:
I just flashed 4.3.1 earlier today, sounds like CM11 might be getting flashed next. Question though, I'm guessing I should flash the nightly and not the beta, correct?

Also if I'm updating to the newest twrp do I have to do a full wipe or can just wipe cache+dalvik? I tried to search, but couldn't find the answer. Thanks everyone.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uan:
Managed to get ART to work after 3 attempts going back and fourth ART and dalvik. Looks like app ART optimization is somehow hit and miss. Using gapps no-set-metadata from dhacker.

Left my kindle at home today and the battery is at 93% after 12 hours.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Thanks! I didn't notice those and downloaded the blaze which don't work. Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Diesel6401:
I backed up with Titanium, I did a full wipe but I can't get version 2.6.3 of twrp to install. It still says 2.2 when I boot up into recovery. No clue what step I'm missing. I also downloaded the TWRP app found in the play store which directed me to download the newest recovery tried that it didn't work I also downloaded it from OP and tried to flash in recovery no luck. I'm missing a step, just not sure what. New to this stuff, but having fun learning :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] donnelpa:
Look at the link I posted above, it specifies that to go from 2.2 to 2.6.3 you must flash all of the old versions of Twrp, in order, to get it to successfully update. If that still doesn't work you could try the Blaze versions of each TWRP which can be found in the forum that link points to.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
Really good. Only things I've seen is the boot Ani is still wonky and reboot recovery boots back into system. I haven't tried art, and won't until hash says it's fixed. Unsure about the launcher so far; which one are you guys using? All in all everything runs pretty good out of the box (12/7 nightly)with official gapps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wws12:

Check the battery usage to see which application drain. Also check Wi-Fi policy, if it is switch to always then battery drain so fast
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
How about this?

Install cotr, do not flash kitkat, and come back to twrp by flashify method. This is what I did,I was in the same problem.

Do not install cotr by kfu. Do it by flashify :) :P

This doesn't work for me, and gives the same broken result as using a flashable .zip.

Do you mean that you have to do this sequence before installing kitkat, meaning from JB 4.3? I tried this while running kitkat, and it didn't work. TWRP 2.6.3.1 STILL won't mount data or cache (which was the whole point of trying this), but everything else seems to work. I flashed COTR, rebooted, then flashed TWRP 3.6.3.1and rebooted, and both with flashify (using images, not .zips) from within kitkat.

Just curious if that's *exactly* what you meant. Don't want to downgrade to JB only to find out the method above doesn't work.

Kindle Reader app crashing

After the latest Kindle update (not CM update), the Kindle Reader app is now crashing for me. I remember reading in the Nook HD forums that they had to make modifications to max heap size when the Kindle app was crashing. Could that be the problem here?

Thanks!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
Using flashify worked for me.

You have to unzip the img file from the flashable zip then use flashify to flash the .img file.

I do notice weird touchscreen issues here and there. Randomly touches get ignored and I have to tap two or three times.

while in TWRP, when I run the command

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log c:\Users\My_User_Name\Documents

it says

remote object '/tmp/recovery.log does not exist'
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dwarf_t0ssn:
I booted into TWRP 2.6.3.1 before doing this, as directed.

I pulled what you wanted...I hope. recovery.log pulled just fine, but adb kept freezing upon pulling proc/kmsg. I let it run and it never "completed" the process. So I pulled two (likely incomplete) kmsg files. I did manage to pull last_kmsg just fine however after rebooting the KF, and it is a complete file.

Again: Kmsg and kmsg2 are incomplete files, since adb froze for over an hour and I had to force it to close. recovery.log and last_kmsg are complete.

I've attached the files here. Let me know if you need anything else, like a logcat or whatnot, and thanks for looking!

I'm on 12-16 nightly and YouTube vids won't play. Anyone else having any issues with YouTube?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
I'd recommend trying TubeMate. Working for me on 12/16. Let's you choose what resolution you want to watch. Even 1080 (though it doesn't make a difference on the Kindle)! You can also download from Youtube, and there's a URL bar for web addresses. You can get it here: http://tubemate.net/ (Choose from Opera Store) I would recommend installing Adaway cause there's an ad banner at the bottom. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
Honestly I don't watch many YouTube videos. Just the occasional few and far between. Just noticed the issue and felt the need to report it. Work arounds are great but the issue will still exist.

For those having trouble making the upgrade to selinux TWRP2, try making a backup, do a full wipe from COTR, and push TWRP from ADB, that's how I got mine to flash. Something about doing the upgrade with a ROM installed is blocking TWRPs ability to mount properly when you flash the upgrade dirty methinks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
running: cat /proc/kmsg will actually wait and monitor the kernel log forever. until you hit ctrl-c. So the "hanging" is by design.

Thanks for the files!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I looked at your log and I'm seeing:

E:Unable to mount '/data'

I:Actual block device: '/dev/block/mmcblk0p10', current file system: 'ext3'

E:Unable to mount '/cache'

I:Actual block device: '/dev/block/mmcblk0p11', current file system: 'ext3'

This is most likely due to running an SElinux enabled kernel on partitions which are not formatted for SElinux.

First make sure in the recovery "Mount" screen that "Data" and "Cache" are unchecked.

Then try this from your PC via command window:

adb shell

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/cache

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/userdata

exit

This should to a full format of those 2 partitions using ext4 fs w/ XATTRs enabled.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dwarf_t0ssn:
This fixed my DATA and CACHE not mounting issue!

Ah, that makes sense now, it was expecting EXT4. I wonder how the partitions never got switched over to EXT4 in the shuffle. At any rate, your fix worked amazingly, and you rock for looking into and posting this! My DATA and CACHE partitions are now EXT4 and everything mounts fine in TWRP 2.6.3.1 as it should. This will probable be pretty helpful for a good few people in here...

Quick question: If someone were to downgrade to Jellybean, would the partitions automatically switch back to EXT3 (which I'm assuming the older androids use), or would I do a similar command to change everything to EXT3 first? Just curious if I'd have to revert partitions in downgrading or if it'd be handled by TWRP 2.6.3.0. Thanks again!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
I'm not sure if it would be helpful for this release but I have been using the CM11 twa_priv at first we would get FC on the Kindle app and the Amazon store app. In the thread someone made a zip that makes the Kindle Fire mimic a Nexus 7 for 4.4 Once you flash this many of the FC apps begin to work. I haven't taken the time to look really deep into it but thought I would pass along the information.

:fingers-crossed:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Don't know whether that would work with this rom.

Please don't try chain fire 3d , it bricked my device
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
I looked at the update script and it just makes build.prop changes. Seemed harmless enough so I tried it. Now Amazon appstore works and my fire seems fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bighead2k:
Same problem here with the kindle App on CM 11 and CM 10.2 (KFHD8.9)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
Exactly. I always tend to use it and noticed most things that are FC with CM11 begin to work once you flash that zip. Hence why I figured Hashcode (or someone with the time) could devise why it's fixing the FC issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
Well, looking at the stack trace and assuming it's Amazon apps that tend to FC, my WAG is that the apps look for classes that are only in the Amazon ROM.

When they think you are on a Nexus 7, they do not try to load those classes so they do not crash.

Did Amazon release the source for the Kindle Fire?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Roseysdaddy:
So, it's a known issue that the Amazon Kindle app isn't working?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Yes, the fix right now is to install the previous version of the Kindle app which works perfectly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AlphaXray:
So I'm super late to the party, and I came here to ask this question. Do you know where to find the previous Kindle App?

Also, has anyone got this to connect to their windows computer properly? Mine will continue to say it can't install the drivers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yotvb531:
I had the same question after the initial wave of updates, so I downloaded the app to my android phone (mainly to see if it would crash) and it happened to download the older version of the Kindle app (must be because of phased roll-outs of updates in google play). Not sure if that still would happen if you downloaded it now to another device...maybe.

I stuck it on my google drive account if you want to download it from there: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6hWkgpf4nrzU3ZPN3lnXzFTSVU/edit?usp=sharing

Just loaded up today's Nightly and getting a weird error with Google Voice. Not only did I get an a force close when the phone first loaded up, but I pressed on the program one more time and it kept loading up and crashing, over and over again, without me touching the phone. Only way I could stop it was to reboot the phone. When I rebooted again, I tried one more time to load it up and the same thing happened.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Phone or Kindle???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] maltydog:
It's the Fire. Or course I don't expect to use if for phone, but I use Google Voice for texts as well

and it has worked on the Kindle in the past. It certainly never crashed on opening. And I've never

seen that kind of behavior where it kept opening and crashing and reopening before. I could do

nothing with the device until I rebooted it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
I am on TWA's variant, but...I use Google Voice all the time for texts and I am not having any issues. Two things that I would ask:

1) Did you reinstall Voice using Titanium or clean install? If the former, did you use Titanium for the data as well as the app? Maybe something corrupt there?

2) Did you do a clean install of the ROM or dirty flash?

Personally, I would start from scratch, but if you want to try something first, clear both caches and fix permissions.

Oh, third thing. Do you have a current build of GAPPs and are you using ART?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] maltydog:
I am using current GApps. I have not used ART on this device because the Developer does

not recommend it, last time I saw. I do use it on my phone which is also running CM11, but not

here.

Edit: Uninstalled and reinstalled Voice, and it's working now. Should've tried that before I bothered posting, actually.
