I think I've seen what he is talking about on cm 9 before the 3.0 kernel. Using tapatalk with black background, sitting there for a minute or so then trying to quickly scroll through the thread would cause the white text to kinda smear. Rebooting would fix it. I haven't seen it sense before the new kernel tho.

I'm having an issue with the word suggestions. I use Swype and as I type/Swype, there won't be any suggestions until I switch to the stock keyboard then back. it happens when I first start up the kindle and sometimes when I turn the screen off then back on, toggling keyboard is needed to get word suggestions to stay working again. Anyone know a way to fix this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
Its weird it won't show up when I take a picture :-\ its mostly the status bar, I can see I black line when I rotate the screen as well as the time burnt in. The worst is when I boot up and I get the android skateboarding dude burnt in for a while. Off topic but the sound for the keyboard just cut out too as I was typing this.

I noticed it, changing to a LWP made it go away. I notice it within apps occasionally still.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] verkerria:
This may be a screen resolution/DPI issue with the multiple panels, which could explain why some have the problem, and some do not

My kindle is relatively new, and I do not have the smearing/ghosting/blurring issue at all
[Kindle Fire Android Development] djkeller3:
For what it's worth, I had ghosting and smearing on every ROM including stock. I have not had a single occurrence since changing my DPI to 120. Didn't even notice I wasn't seeing any ghosting with 120 DPI until someone brought it up.

ROM: CM9 Reloaded v1.3 OTTER

Kernel: Hashcode 3.0.21+ (#8)

Just wanted confirm that under the gedeROM with this kernel, I can successfully use a usb mouse, keyboard, and a 8GB flash drive all at the same time using a powered hub. For some reason though it did not like my other hub, and only the one that is built into my monitor.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i always wipe all except sdcard.

using twrp 2.0

tried hashes new rom, aokp m5,reloaded1.3beta all with no ghosting.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
Its not so much that I'm getting a "smear" like others have stated, but a burnt in "ghost image" extremely noticeable. I've had it happen on every rom that I have tried including stock, but after the last flash I did, the ghost images are lasting a lot longer and are again EXTREMELY noticeable. I'll try changing the DPI to 120 and see if I am a lucky as DjKeller stated he was. Thanks again everyone
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
It sounds like you might have a problematic GPU. This is not normal behavior.

I would try flashing it back to bone stock and seeing if it goes away. If it persists, then it would be a good time to exercise your warranty.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] res1n:
Has anyone else experienced their kindle turning on by itself? Using hash's latest kernel and gede rom. I also power down by using the 20 second method just to be safe. Seems to always turn itself back on around after 10 min or so. I did some searching and could not find anything so I apologize if anyone's already mentioned this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] quick_:
I have the same ghosting sometimes, with #7 and #8.

It's not very noticeable but on some grey backgrounds you see icons from previous screens etc...

Fyi, using latest reloaded rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
yes, one or two times, when i turned of by long press power button and then it auto turn on
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Yes, that was also happening randomly to me. Actually, Hashcode mentioned this in a post in one of his threads, don't remember which one.

What I did to stop this was power off from TWRP, haven't had a random reboot now for the last 4 days since I started doing this. I use Quick Boot to reboot, although you can just use the power menu to reboot. Once it reboots to the FFF logo, press power until it turns amber. Once TWRP starts, tap reboot and then tap power off. The backlight goes off immediately and the fire shuts down. If it matters, I'm using TWRP 2.1.1 and FFF 1.3. The whole process takes around 15-20s and I don't have to worry about my fire still being on or rebooting itself.

EDIT: If you're using Hashcode's new FFF 1.4a, at FFF logo just push power button to choose recovery (TWRP) and then just follow the same procedure above. It looks like with FFF 1.4a when the roms get updated, we will be able to reboot directly to recovery, making it even easier. Of course if Hashcode solves the power down issue before that, we won't have to worry about it anyway. :D

Hulu plus does not run "Device not supported [142]"

I've tried running gedeROM 1.15 and AOKP KF Milestone 5, both ROMs use the 3.0 #8 and when trying to run Hulu+, as downloaded from Play Store, there is a "Device not supported [142]" error. I have tried to do build.prop edits as well as generating a test IMEI for the device without any luck. The application is still blocked. Does anyone know if there is some specific key, or combination of keys, that Hulu+ looks for?

These hacked "all-device" versions don't work either, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449110. They both freeze on buffering.

Also, I think there is a specific KF version of Hulu+ that is available through the Amazon App Store when running stock or stockish KF ROMs. Does anyone have a backup or the .apk of that particular version. Perhaps it would work...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Mike415:
It doesn't work either
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
I use flashbrowser from the market its a little quirky but plays hulu fine just google flash video browser 1.10 theres some audio lag but it works
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shiftdsme:
Cool, this is a pretty good work around. Though, Hulu+ did work on CM7. This leads me to believe that some device settings could be responsible for the issue that we are experiencing now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imnotamorningguy:
Anyone else having audio issues? I set volume to mute and now it doesnt come back. Its only on video playback though, normal key presses are audible.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] res1n:
Thanks for the info, just wanted to make sure the bug was already known and it wasn't just my kindle acting up. I'll start shutting down using your method, totally forgot about powering down through TWRP. Appreciate it!

Aftermarket Charger Works

Hey guys! I just flashed this ROM. It is very awesome! Thank you so much, Hashcode!

I don't know what charging problems you people have, but my Kindle charges perfectly fine with an aftermarket Rocketfish charger. It does not show up in the OS like Hashcode said, but if I go to the battery tab in the Settings, and press refresh on the battery status, sometimes it does report charging when it's plugged in, even though it won't show up in the status bar.

No, never happened to me in video playback. Anyway, I use AudioManager (free, but there is paid version). I can mute and stuff and when I undo it, my sound comes back.

Anyone else missing the Music app? I just downloaded Google Play Music, and it works perfectly for the music I loaded into my KF's 'sd card'.

EDIT: Hashcode, If you want another tester, I can be available as a sort of 'Beta' tester. Thank you for all you've done!

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

Sorry for double post!

Hashcode: I know your kernel and this kernel [link] are different. If there is a certain shutdown sequence, and that (older) ROM did it perfectly, couldn't you fish out the sequence from that one and apply it to this ROM?

Please tell me if I need to clarify.

EDIT: I seem to notice that many people want the audio slider in the small notification popup bar thing from said ROM. Do you want me to start working on getting that audio slider back in there, and possibly removing something?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] PowSniffer0110:
Please and thank you!! ^^
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
The audio slider is in the full ROM located here:

http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/otter/cm9

The shutdown issue is known and will be tackled after the charger driver re-write is done.

And I appreciate your offer of help. Feel free to contribute in whatever way you would like.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teegale:
Works like a charm. Thanks for all the help. I now I have 0 complaints. Have a good day sir.

New Kernal

It looks like Hashcode has put up a new kernel today 5/3 its on his site, but not on XDA yet, anyone had a chance to try it out and see if maybe the charging bug is fixed?

No it's Hash's new FFF 1.4 bootloader.

Weirdest thing just happened. I think I had a sod right now, I was downloading an app when my kindle went to sleep and when I pressed the button I got a black screen and couldn't get a picture to show up so I had to hold the power button till it turned off. Booted right back up though so nothing I'm tripping over
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
happened a few times, if u wait it comes back lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
Yeah, sometimes the screen lags a bit. Press it a few times, if that doesn't work then wait a minute and try again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] akarpov:
Is otg work only with powered hub?

If so OTG has no sense. I can use computer storage.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
No this wasn't an issue of screen lag, I know what your talking about but I would hit the button and wait for LONG periods, I'm talking like a full minute and the back light would come on and then turn back of after waiting. I should've taken a video of it and posted it but I was stupid and didn't think to.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hairdewx:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] hairdewx:
Ok, got it working once I connected it to a powered hub. I guess the Fire's usb port doesn't have enough power.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DesDr0id:
Not sure if this is useful or if the dev's are already aware, but:

Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (Kindle competitor) was recently released and uses the OMAP4430 SoC (I think this is the same as the Kindle Fire).

To the point, they released their ICS source-code, including the kernel -- there might be some benefit of looking at that source-code with respect to handling the open issues at hand with this kernel.

Click here for the download page, and then grab "GT-P3113_ICS_Opensource.zip"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] abundantmussel:
You should post this in Hashcodes Kernel thread also

[Kindle Fire Android Development] darx:
Just some friendly info for you guys. My keyboard connected via dongle and USB OTG cable only seems to work when my kindle is at or around a full charge. I came home with my kindle at 14% and the keyboard doesn't work, even after a restart. It has worked multiple times over, so there is some anomaly at play.

Going to report back after I'm fully charged.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] drk.hd:
The issue here is, once again, RAM. We're stuck with 512MB of RAM, while (almost) everything else has 1GB. This is where many, if not most, of the issues with the kernel come from. So this probably won't help much. :(

Are you using a powered hub? The kernel may be stopping you because it doesn't have enough power to run the keyboard and the Kindle itself.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DesDr0id:
For the most part I do agree - however if this Samsung device and the Kindle Fire share the same SoC, then there's a possibility that this Samsung kernel source-code can provide some insight into the "charger driver" issue Hashcode is working on. A shot in the dark though :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] southbird:
Probably has to do with the poorly regulated voltage at the USB port as we're talking about in the other thread starting around here. Keep an eye on that thread for developments we might come up with something.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Entropy512:

Yup. Me too. I've been having this issue on all of the ICS roms I have used with the 3.0 kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fleurdelisxliv:
I havent had any wifi drops at all has been working great!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Please include a logcat if you're having a wifi disconnect issue. I can't really troubleshoot an issue that I myself don't have without logs and/or some other kind of help. Thanks.

A note on OTG: I found in the charger source code some settings for OTG which might also be causing the issues we're seeing. No promises yet, but there's a *chance* that the new driver will help (if I can configure it correctly to handle OTG mode).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] drk.hd:
I've been having some major issues with the Tumblr app. I'm running a build I just recently compiled straight from your repos (partly to see the new boot animation I pushed ;)), and am getting some crazy errors in logcat. Using your latest build, I've even gotten full kernel reboots. The main error I'm seeing in logcat is

D/OpenGLRenderer( 1169): GL error from OpenGLRenderer: 0x501

repeated hundreds of times along with some crazy memory usage/leakage. I've attached a logcat from boot to starting Tumblr fresh to the post. The GL errors happen whenever I move the on-screen content.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] darx:
I am not using a hub. I am sure the kindle provides enough power, as I have typed quite a bit using it before. There seems to be an issue when my Fire is below 50% battery. If there is any sort of information I can provide you guys with please let me know. Good to hear your looking into it Hash.

Thanks to Hash and anyone else working on the kernal. Love to see a 3300 quadrant score on a tablet I purchased for $130. Great work guys.

Edit: For reference the keyboard dongle draws 60mA. The max output of the fire is 100mA is it not?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] southbird:
I'm not sure what the max potential output is, but the voltage already starts low (~3.3V) and can drops pretty significantly (the normal USB voltage should be 5V.) The voltage is possibly a setting (being investigated) but as it stands, KF is not doing a good job regulating and I can totally imagine that a drooping battery will cause the voltage to drop to an unusable level.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Here is my logcat.

Wi-Fi Logcat

I know you said something about the DHCP. The DHCP lease time set on my router is Forever.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] drk.hd:
Hey Hash, is there any way to enable last_kmsg in the kernel? It would be really useful in debugging random reboots like I've been getting every once in a while.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
For those having wifi issues. Use a root explorer and locate system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf and open it with a note editor and delete interface wlan0

I haven't had any problems or disconnects since lets see if it works for others

Edit: copy the original dhcpcd.conf and save it to your SD card in case you need to revert back

Edit 2: it was working fine so I tested it downloading 490mb of dungeon hunter 3 and I lost connection at 320 MB. So back to the drawing board.

Edit3: if you really need a steady connection you can turn off dhcp on your router and use static IP, the only downfall is you would have to use static for all of your wifi devices. On some routers you can change the leash on your dhcp, its usually defualt at 3 -10 minutes and that's what's causing the hiccups, theoretically if you change that to something like 1440 it should only cut off once every 24 hours. I don't have these settings on my router so I can't test this. Hope this helps somebody, I will keep on digging as I find free time. Good night fellow fire friends
[Kindle Fire Android Development] darx:
Just tested it after a full charge, works perfectly. The voltage must drop as the battery depletes. The dongle is rated at 5v and 60mA, so I can definitely see where you are coming from. Still very usable for myself, thnks again for the work and input.

There has been no issues with the latest from me have you tried other routers like at a friend's house or internet cafe I

I've in NY and we have optium wifi so can get it pritymuch every where pull the power on your wifi for like 10 min (yes I mean unplug it)

That might help you :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] juaduve:
Thanks for your tip, i test my kindle with my main ADSL-router and with my WDS-Router and both of them disconnects. Before last kernel it disconnect each 10 min, now is random but too much long time to disconnect. Both routers are not the same, one is TP-Link and another one is Astoria networks.

With early CM7 rom releases i had wifi problems too, i tested at job and same result.... but with last roms as barebone and others problem seem solved and my wifi was stable like a charm.

With Amazon Rom always fine.

I will try at job tomorrow, tell me if you need more logs or if you want to control remotely my tablet to see logs on-air

hi hash

I was wondering, if there is a theoretical way to charge the KF via OTG cable connected to a powered USB hub?

OTG works great 4 me with mouse, keyboard and USB sticks (only fat32) all @ the same time! Couldn't test any USB drive, 'cause I do not have any formatted in fat32.

@all: might be a good idea to open a thread on OTG devices & related issues 4 devs (I would open 1 but I only check this forum every fortnight).
