The 7-25 build has no noticable issues and I'm about to try the 7-26! The stock browser never FCed once which I was very impressed with.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Blitzpwnage:
I'm installing build 7/25 and when I install gapps all i get everything except for the play store, what's going on?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Napsterbater:
I got the same problem on 7/27, fully wiped.

Edit: Same on 7/23 :-/

Edit2: Went all the way back to M8, Play Store showed up this time. Using the 0606204 gapps and the TWRP in the first thread, same as when I tried with 07/27 and 07/23.

kindle pains

So i havent updated my kindle fire in a couple years.. i went painlessly (relatively, had a win8.1x64 issue with drivers) through the otterx process and then loaded the nightly from a few days ago. the first thing i noticed was it was incredibly slow. It was initially using interactive, i changed to ondemand and it seemed to speed up, but nowhere near what i would expect. Could be a bad nightly or perhaps one of these new kernels is needed, i've never felt the need to flash a different kernel before.. Any suggestions? Do i wipe all and put the latest nightly on, wipe all put a milestone release on, or try a different rom? I am just trying to get something stable to let my kids watch plex during long car rides, doesn't need to be the latest, but most of the roms from when i first got this device appear to be no longer maintained. lmk, thanks all!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
I've notices it being sluggish as well.

These are experimental and nightly builds. You may try going back to more stable builds.

Missing play store

Play store / play services still missing on M9 with 20140606 gapps. TWRP 2.7.1.0

Full wipe, tested twice. Rolling back to M8 for now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] techobrien:
Google Account Manager

M8 brings back the play store, but the Google Account Manager crashes while inputting a gmail account.

I am using 2FA, but I'm not sure if that matters or not.

Is there any way to re-run the wizard so I can get device backup working? I really don't want to have to manually enter all my WiFi passwords =P

UPDATE: Rolling all the way back to M7 fixes both issues. Play store is happy and there is no Google account Manager crash on initial account setup, even with 2FA

As you some of you may have noticed: I have a new job working with Linaro Mobile Group beginning 9/1/2014.

This is a HUGE change in my professional career, and I want to be 100% focused on my current duties.

This means, that I will be ending my support for the Kindle Fire devices as official CM maintainer.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be working with CM to get a replacement dev to step in and continue updates / tweaks to the device.

For more information:

https://plus.google.com/111109372727398356624/posts/AtoJ3xLj35b

Lastly, ending my support for the Kindles was a VERY difficult choice. My TODO list is long and extensive with plans for updates well into next year ... To not get around to really polishing many of these builds makes me a bit sad.

BUT, this is where YOU (the community) can step in and make a difference. Continue to push these devices onward. I wish you all well.

Thanks for all you've done Michael. It's been amazing watching, and using, what you've created or tweaked for the Kindle. I can't begin to adequately express how much of a difference it made and simultaneously how much fun it was also. You will be sorely missed.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
I am finding that as the size of these builds start creeping up from 154MB M3 to the 194MB M9 there is less and less space available on the otter for applications.

A some of you have also found even trying to load the full size Gapps is running into trouble .

I inherited this Kindle from my wife when I upgraded her to the HDX. I guess the otter is trying to tell me it's time to move along and to get with the times!

For the time being I have reverted to the M1 build and full gapps which besides the odd browser shut down seems to be working fine and leaving me enough space for a few apps.

PS. All the best Mike in your new job. Our loss is their gain.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
you could switch to OtterX partitions which has a larger system partition, and user data and sdcard are one.

the latest slim kat is only 130.8 MB
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
Thanks. Just when I thought I had finished fiddling with the KF!

I still have a backup of the original Kindle Fire software on the device.

It's unlikely I would ever want to but for interest sake if I were to go the Otterx route, would I be able to restore it back to a regular Kindle Fire as I am able to do now?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
I just happen to make a [How-To] Revert from OtterX Project to Stock Kindle Fire Rom

it's a little outdated now but has the basic steps
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
Very comprehensive guide.

Well done.

As a matter of interest does the Otterx reformat and associated ROMs make the aging Otter perform any better than when using the CM Roms?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
That is a very loaded question, and you will get yes and no answers,

Like every rom, the experience will vary from user to user.

I like the otterx roms, and lovejoy777 is using a different kernel than from the CM11 builds, for his SlimKat builds that seems to be working well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
You can. U ll need to flash otter's recovery, revert the partition back to otter partition using u-boot, format the partition.

Note that changing the partition otter/otterx will wipe all ur data, you will need to push the needed files via fastboot.

Please read the otterx new direction thread carefully before you proceed.

I dont think you will ever revert back to otter though. Most dev already provide the otterx rom. Even newer ROMs development are otterx only
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Roger W:
I might have missed an update since I last looked into this - is there an update for deep sleep problems on the OtterX CM11 builds? I'm still getting 3 days of standby instead of 3+ weeks. Or if not but other OtterX ROMs are fine, I could try one of those.

This is the only thing that sometimes makes me want to go back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
I dont know about deep sleep on cm11, but afaik deep sleep is working on slimkat with lovejoy's kernel (smartassv2 cpu gov).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Deep sleep has been working, it just uses more battery all the time. I have checked, and my tablet does deep sleep. I have also turned off power drain items, but only get 3 days.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
So I took the plunge and converted to Otter X with no problems thanks to great instructions here.

I have both the latest CM M10 otterx build as well as Slimkat on my sdcard.

I will play with both and see which gives the least lag which this old device is notorious for.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] seishuku:
Is there a solution for the popping audio when using the headphones jack?

I'm going to use my old kindle for an in-dash device on my car, and the audio pops as it goes into sleep and when changing songs... I can live with it, but would be nice to fix it.

What should the partitions be formatted as, after converting to Otter X? The reason I ask is because I noticed cache was still EXT4, so I formatted it to F2FS, but now I can't get Slimpop to boot (been sitting at boot logo for 15 minutes).

Current partition formatting:

Cache: F2FS

Data: F2FS

System: EXT4

If I update to the TWRP in the OP will it screw up the dual-boot bootloader (1.4.1a)? I'm using TWRP 2.5.0.0 now. I'd like to give this ROM a go and still keep my MoDaCo (or maybe 6.3.3 if I can get it packaged as ALT) as alternate boot.

Been a couple years since I messed with this thing; please excuse the ignorance.

Updating Twrp to 2.7.X.X or 2.8.X.X shouldn't affect dual bootloader, stock based roms may not install, but I haven't use dual boot for sometime.

Has this been found to be a common problem, and is there a solution? I just inherited a Kindle Fire and as able to go through the initial conversion to OtterX. I am having this exact issue. I can set up one wi-fi network, but if I try to add a 2nd, I get a "Failed To Save network" error at the bottom.

I originally flashed a 5.0 ROM, and I was able to add two networks just fine. Before flashing this one, I did a complete reformat of partitions to start from scratch, so this ROM is clean as a clean install could be. I flashed both the small and the normal gapps packages for CM11.

Battery Fix

I have been working on this very problem. I have achieved success in that I have obtained good battery life. I have not posted anything yet because in getting the battery life I no longer have sound. I'm currently trying to fix the sound issue and have some ideas of what might work. Ideas are all I can work with for the moment because my RAM died and I had to RMA it to the manufacturer. So, when I get my new RAM, I'll continue work on the issue and I'll let you know my progress.

However, if [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] wants to fix this, I will be glad to stop working on it.
