reboot into recovery

I clean installed the rom a couple of weeks ago and have been dirty flashing since then. It's really working awesome (Thanks Hash!) but I have one little annoyance problem. The fire won't reboot automatically into recovery, either from the Cyanogenmod updater or from the power menu with Advanced Reboot turned on. It always just does a normal system reboot. During reboot, if I press and hold the power button, I can force it to reboot into recovery. I installed TWRP 2.6.3.1 per the OP. Anybody else have this problem, or any ideas what may be up? Thanks.

I confirm that. I have the same issue.

This bug was present in few builds back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] maltydog:
Edit: Previous post removed - the previous post I put here has been resolved, the Playstore updated the program (Google+) and now it's working fine. Never mind!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] haydonxda:
Yes, same here. Clean install too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
Tell it to turn the wifi off when sleeping and it won't do that. However downside is when it does wake up you have to click the wifi button to turn it on. :/

Been using this rom from 1226, dirty flashed 29 and 30.

Love it, gave life back to my otter, great work.

Only thing I can't do is customize quick settings with gravity box, anyone succeded with it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] haydonxda:
That's... disappointing. Wanted to give it to someone in my family that doesn't have a tablet. They're not terribly computer savvy so this would throw them.

Thanks for the info though!

how is ART running for people? Im afraid of enabling it as its in development
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
I had it running for a while. It seemed stable. I switched back when an app I wanted would FC.

1. Switch to ART in Developer Settings

2. Immediately reboot into recovery

3. Wipe Dalvik (Some say wipe cache, I only wiped Dalvik and it seemed fine)

4. Reboot and wait for all your apps to update/compile (This took a long time)

I also use the switch-to-nexus-7 zip to get the Amazon apps to run.

I have a Nexus 10, so I use my Fire to experiment with whatever awesome things great devs like hashcode share.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Maromi:
Wiping /cache just frees up space on that partition in cm11 dalvik-cache is only used on the /data partition by default (dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1)

Wifi Issue with 20140107-NIGHTLY

I installed the 20140107-NIGHTLY for the first time, and it got stuck in setup "turning on WiFi".

I repeated the install, and had the same issue.

I then installed 20140106-NIGHTLY and had no problem.

Also noticed that HBO-GO crashes. Anyone else notice this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I also had a similar experience with my install. No networking.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kornklown69:
dirty flash over 20140106 just wipe cache and dalvik ull be fine
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
What is interesting is I also had no networking with Hellfire kitkat until I downloaded on PC and pushed the rom via twrp, and installed twice. Been a while since networking was a quirk.

so can you fix choppy HD video?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fox_dye:
Hash you are a beast can't wait to see what you have next.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] theholyfork:
Reboot is a guaranteed fix, but occasionally for me it's fixed when I wake the Kindle from sleep
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
So.. if I may.. I'd like to summarize the issues you're seeing from the past few posts:

1. You have slow USB transfer rates

2. Choppy HD video

3. And the LCD striping?

I'll go out on a limb and say that once the obvious HW codec breakage from today is fixed, I'll be working on the following high priority items:

1. Battery charging is not working as it should and/or being reported like it should under several different situations.

2. The video striping issue is concerning as it affect's the everyday usage of the device and it needs to be looked at.

Then, when the kernel is a bit more stable, I can focus on the more individualized bugfixes. Not many users were reporting laggy HD video or slow USB transfers post the #4 kernel changes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
What format and size? Mostly I assumed users are streaming videos in some fashion because of the limited internal space. Bad assumption on my part, I wasn't testing local playback. Also include any related logcat which shows errors (if any) and/or dmesg output.

This also may come back to one of the bugfixes I'm working on for buffer flushing. We'll see.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rysk29:
Known issue...

[04-15] Swapping from headset to speaker audio while music is playing causes it to stop. (Is this a bug or ROM feature?)

I run CM 7 on my G1, every time i have unplugged headset music has stopped.. really every cm rom i have tried does.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
I have to agree. I use audio regularly on my cm7 and cm9 roms for my mytouch and it always stops when I unplug the headphones.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] seishuku:
The striping doesn't go away after a reboot, so it's doing something to the display that is affecting the physical display ("burn-in"), but it does go away after the LCD has been on for a bit.

Maybe the back light is turning off but the display is only powering down partly, leaving data floating doing weird things? I donno.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
Forgive me for posting in the dev thread but I think this is dev related. EVERY rom I've used on my fire has had some ''striping/burn-in'', including the stock amazon rom as well as CM7. I think this may be due to hardware. Again, sorry if anyone feels this post isn't necessary, just trying to help out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vbdss:
I gotta say, this burn-in/striping issue is annoying. I dont have the knowledge to say anything, but after got the problem and shutdown the kindle pressing the button for 20 secs, i still got the issue.

I booted into TWRP and the screen was flickering, like and old CRT.

Turned ON again and things is starting to feel normal.

So maybe its something related with the timmings of the LCD, u dont know, but hash said something about it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] boyie:
thanks for your work!!!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] seishuku:
Btw, USB host seems to be partly working, buggy for sure, but it does detect USB connects and tries to bind a driver (though it says there arent any).

I need to pick up a USB hub to really test it, it seems the musb core doesn't like my y cable most of the time.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 50CalPotato:
TWRP is always like a old CRT screen; I've had that since day one of installing it. Never see it in any ROM. Hash is, however, aware of this problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ygvuhb:
do you mean otg usb?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AdrienC:
Same thing here. And it seems that TWRP got worse now

For who is not sure if should try this kernel:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] verkerria:
I think the battery bar just isnt animating in the notification bar. Perhaps the battery mod has a conflict, settings says its charging. Is there a below 80 percent fast charge?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] seishuku:
yes

It seems maybe the update to the newer kernel code broke it, it's not switching to host mode like build 4 did.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webstas:
I haven't quite figured out what makes the streaks to go away, its almost like they just slowly fade away.

build.prop

Has anyone gotten a build prop made to work with this masking it as a GT-P1000? Would like to test some of my games but without the build prop its a no go(incompatible) I used the editor to manually change them but it kept reverting at reboot, so if anyone made one already that I can just swap id love it thanks.

Note: Got Shadowgun to install (gamelofts are a no go till buildprop fixes up) and I must say this game used to have a bit of slowdown on crowded stages even with chain-fire dropping the texture size, now i'm running it no chain-fire and haven't had one slowdown, however the intro video forwarded as if it had no fps limit, game-plays excellent tho and its a heavy game, currently at stage 3 and had no issues. I will keep testing non gameloft games till i can find a fix for the prop

Thanks! That is what the search button is for. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zirillian:
This sounds like the solution to the problem I am having, but stuck at one very important step....unmounting Data and Cache in recovery. I know how to do this in recovery, but for the life of me I cannot get adb to work in recovery mode. I've tried everything from reinstalling drivers several times, changing USB ports, etc. ADB only works for me when the Fire is fully booted up. As such, those two commands only return telling me that they can't execute because Data and Cache are in use (of course).

Silly question well (Edit: BELOW instead of above...I'm tired) below your pay grade, but any idea how I can get adb to work properly in TWRP recovery mode when it works fine when fully booted up?

Google voice great, but stock messaging app missing

So, I just decided to play around with Google Voice and using Voice+ integration from Cyanogenmod. I'm able to send SMS messages from GV, but unfortunately the messaging app is missing. I understand why they chose to do this but it does seem a bit at odds with the Voice+ (enabling system-wide SMS through GV, but no messaging app?).

Does anyone know how to get the stock messaging app? I'd rather not install any of the ones in the play store....I'd prefer stock.

Thanks!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I know you said you don't want a market app, and of course you can push aosp messaging to /system/app, but look at this

What is the reason for this?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] Could you elaborate why Reboot recovery doesn't work on cm11.0?

IIRC it worked as intended on cm10.2 but not anymore.

I've concluded TARGET_RECOVERY_PRE_COMMAND doesn't handle properly on cm11.0 because I can reboot into recovery with following commands.

adb shell
idme postmode 1 #same as TARGET_RECOVERY_PRE_COMMAND in BoardConfig.mk
reboot recovery

I just don't know how to fix that, though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
its something ive been meaning to look at.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
Thanks, Hash.

Pretty hard to believe a GB era tablet with no RAM that was not intended to run Android is running KitKat. And running it smoothly. My KF is now my five year old's tablet and he could tell the difference. "it's better, Daddy". Amazing.

[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] BTW, latest back to TI specific wpa_supplicant really works well.

I can also confirm that gms woes has gone, Google maps always lockon my location and seems way to snappy compared to previous one.

Thanks for your hard work :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
Not sure what your point is. I THINK you misread what I posted and thought I was saying the tablet was five years old. I was saying that I had given the tablet to my son who is five years old, and that even he noticed how smooth this ROM is.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Loobster:
Ok so this build is AWESOME on the KF1.

Question. On my Asus Transformer which has CM11 on it, there is an extra button in the bottom bar (back, home, recent) which toggles between just the last two apps used. It's a one-press way to switch back and forth between those to apps without even bringing up the recent apps list.

Is there a way to add that function to this build for the KF1? Or an app that will plug that in? I'd find that enormously useful.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hali_fax:
I'm sorry for my misunderstanding. :o
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Also there is more (potentially) changes coming for wifi. The new supplicant seems to be compatible with the latest backport drivers (for kernel 3 13 for example).

Experimentation might be needed to fix a wakelock issue or 2, but essentially we would use be using the latest linux driver / firmware vs. the current driver from the 3.1 kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
I'm currently on those, just adapted all backports commit, seems it has wakelock issue as described though.

Hello guys! I can't seem to find a way to install TWRP 2.6.3.1 through adb... I can run ADB, the device shows properly, but when i write idme bootmode 4002, then reboot, the device just stays on the FFF screen without doing anything, and no devices show on adb... is there something I'm missing? I have searched other threads for help, however I can't find a solution for this issue... Thanks beforehand!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zirillian:
I too have ADB problems and can't help you there, but download Flashify and use that to install TWRP. Works great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Your device rebooted into bootloader... "fastboot flash recovery <recovery img name>" would work.

I just used the Kindle Fire Utility

Download the TWRP 2.6.3.1.img, and copy it to the 'Recovery' folder located in the Kindle Fire Utility folder (this will be wherever you downloaded or unzipped it).

Rename TWRP 2.6.3.1.img to TWRP.img

Then run the Kindle Fire Utility and install Recovery.

This might be a bug, and it may only affect my kindle, but my kindle can only remember one WiFi network. If I have one saved, it tells me that it failed to connect to network. I have to forget the network then clear cache/dalvik.

Well, FuZZ's way worked just fine, i used Kindle Fire Utility to get adb and fastboot, but i forgot about kfu's option to flash an OR, anyway already on KK working great BTW, i just have another question. On a nexus 7 there seems to be an unified storage pool, when you check for storage there is only one partition for internal memory (like for apps) and pictures and such, is that posible on our KFs? it would help probably cause our low storage capacity, Thanks for your help guys!

Hi all

Been a while since goo was updating my Kindle for me but I think it tried to update it to CM11 using twrp 2.0 and blew out the install. Ive tried to reinstall a few 10.* with the "corresponding" gapps but for some reason it still keeps blowing out and making bad installs.

I tried using the TWRP 2.6 zip to install the updated recovery (renaming it recovery.zip) and it says its installing/installed but then on reboot into recovery it still says its on 2.0

anyone have any tips? right now ADB is not really an option. Also have tried redownloading multiple times to see if it was a bad download.

Ive tried flashing from goo and TWRP.

thanks

UPDATE:

K through the previous posts I found using flashify to unzip the recovery and installing that way worked to upgrade TWRP.

I had to NOT INSTALL gapps to get the main OS to work right and just downloaded the apks via browser (andro zip, flashify)

Once that was installed it looks like the CM11 is booting now.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Most likely since KSM enabled by default on latest Nightly, tradeoff with CPU usages a little bit but makes sense.

Of course, you can disable KSM in Settings > Performance > Memory management, in case of you don't like it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wk123:
Hey Fuzz, thanks for the response.

So the funny thing is, since I upgraded, the KSM setting in Memory Management was not checked (I'm guessing only for new installs).

I'll check that, and see if that improves the RAM even more.

Thanks again!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] starfighter1948:
Rather than boot up my laptop I foolishly thought I too would just use flashify to install the latest TWRP before upgrading to CM11.0. When I tried to reboot the Kindle Fire HD it went straight to fastboot and stayed there oops! No problem I thought, just use the Kindle Fire Utility and my trusty factory cable to reset the KF to boot normally. After a few false starts it seemed work OK until I rebooted. The KF rebooted to fastboot but shut down immediately. Anyone experienced this phenomenon with the KF? Any suggestions greatly received because as of now my KF is bricked, short of hardware surgery, at which I'm inept.

Update: Being a complete twit I tried installing Fire Fire in the short window that fastboot showed on the screen. The Kindle Fire Utility seemed to have installed Fire Fire seemed to have installed fire fire but the Kindle Fire HD would not boot at all, even if you plug it in, or hold the power button for several minutes. I reckon it dead, unless anyone has any suggestions. The annoying think is I was quite happy with 10.2 and nearly didn't use flashify this morning. What an idiot!

I installed the 2040314 nightly , very nice job on this build.

(I did go back 100 pages or so in the thread looking for tips to improve the performance of this, really I did.

I see quadrant scores of 3000 ? , I'm no where near that after a complete wipe and install of the latest nightly.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
If you want higher performance, make sure to go into Settings -> Performance -> Processor and bump the max speed to 1200mhz.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mikeataol:
thanks hashcode for this great work. I really like it a lot.

Does it make sense, is it explainable, that the benchmarks before installing gapps, would be about half that of those AFTER installing gapps and letting google update all the play services ?

I went from 1400's before to 2200's after in quadrant and all I did was install gapps and let Play Store do it's updates.

(I had already set cpu to 1200 on the "before" testing)

Thanks again, seems like a keeper!
