When resuming from sleep I get an odd discoloration of the screen, a line down the middle of the screen, and a bit of a reduction in screen resolution. The only thing that fixes the problem is a reboot. I am using hashcode's latest rom with build 4 of the kernel. I'm about to upgrade to build 5 of the kernel and I'll update my post if the issue persists.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AdrienC:
Weird thing. Using #4.

Power button is on and orange plugged in AC, although the system don't see itself charging. And if I'm not crazy, battery was 50 and now is 51.

will update soon if it reach 52.

update:

Now it says it's charging on Status. But the icon on the status bar looks the same way.

I'll try to go up to #5 again and see if wifi works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] simonbove:
Hii Hash...

Just pushed kernel build number 5 to my KF, and the black light can't turn on...

Even the trick with the pushes on the power button dosen't help... Im rolling back to build number 4 again...

But thanks anyway for the work so far :)

Any ideas on the streaking issue on the display?

logcat doesn't show anything relevant that I can see.

Dont know if it has something to do, but i noticed my screen just like people stated above but this time on TWRP.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
netflix and bbc iplayer only have sound & black screen, no picture. youtube play's fine?

i'm trying reflash

thanks hash "awesome"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I'm hoping that the streaking bug will show up on my device soon, so that I can experiment with how to get rid of it.

I think it's an issue where the LCD is coming back from suspend slightly out of sync w/ the framebuffer. I know that someone mentioned the framebuffer contents are fine (IE: a screenshot saved picture probably doesn't save the streaking).

We'll see how we fix this, thanks foe being patient.

QUESTION: What's the current solution? Reboot? DO you press the power button off and then on again to get it to reset? Etc. I'll post that in the OP.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chrisliphart:
Confirmed, at least in Netflix.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fox_dye:
Banding is much improved but I lost Netflix as stated by others. Back light adjusts just fine and no problems with wifi. Thanks for the update it gets better with every release.

Hwa broken for me in 5.2

Back to kernel build 3

More comments in user thrad
[Kindle Fire Android Development] icemank121:
Hashcode merged a bunch of kernel updates before releasing the newest kernel, so it probably just broke one of his edits to make HWA work. Netflix and Youtube HD are affected. Heres the error, http://pastebin.com/eThvDgS3
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
Everything is working great except one thing, and I don't know if its related to the other screen problems people have been having, but when I unlock my kindle the screen flashes white/gray and then the picture shows. Only happens once out of every like 5 unlocks but it makes me curious as to why and if anyone else has had this. Let me know, thanks in advance everyone
[Kindle Fire Android Development] icemank121:
It's a known problem with the new backlight driver, it'll just take some tweaking to make it look just right when you wake the device. Basically the device is turning the backlight on before its done resuming from sleep. It's on Hashcode's list.

[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] perhaps we also should switch to non TI wpa_supplicant on CM10.2.

I've been testing CM11 since then and I can confirm now Maps(that uses gms) perfectly works with non TI wpa_supplicant,

always grab my location when the device wake up after long sleep.

maybe you're doing right back on 4.3 brings up...

Hey Hash. I have a question for you. How do you fix data mounting in the TWRP 2.3.6.1? I've tried everything people say and it still won't work. Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Mockingbird946:
I have a question regarding the "headphone/MIC input not working correctly": Is it completely broken? Or just reduced functionality? (I'm under the impression that it's a combination input, but don't have a kindle of my own to verify.)

I've messed with several HTC devices and want to fix up my buddy's kindle with CM, but he needs to be able to listen to audio with headphones.

Please advise.

:::bars:::
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Audio works for headphones. MIC input does not work very well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
If you're seeing some data corruption you may need to reformat in TWRP. Make sure to do a TitaniumBackup before hand so that you can restore later.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Mockingbird946:
Awesome, thank you for the prompt reply!

Does the Kindle Fire have a built-in MIC (separate from the external input?) If so, is it working in this build?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
It does not.

Sir, can you make an aosp 4.4 ROM? I'm having issues with ram. Thank you in advance!

Sent from my air powered ceiling fan
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I have an AOSP 4.4 ROM which I develop directly from and then push device-based changes into the cm11 repos.

This way I can see if there are any CM related issues causing problems vs the straight AOSP build.

Right now the rotation graphics are really the only hold up from stopping a release of the AOSP ROM (that and I should probably merge up to 4.4_r1.2)

In my tests, everything is working:

- HW accel

- 1080p codecs

- speaker / mic

- etc
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
Cheers. :D Thanks hash for all of your time that you put into this stuff, but back to my question. How do I fix data mounting in TWRP 2.3.6.1?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cksamurai:
suggestion stick to twrp 2.3.6.0, data mounting works
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
I fixed it. You have to go back to stock then use Android SDK tools to flash the twrp img.

Oh, also. Why don't the icons in CM11 change to 4.4 themed icons?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
OP UPDATED FOR CM11.0 BUILDS:

STEP 1: DOWNLOAD TWRP 2.6.3.0 W/ SELINUX .ZIP and UPDATE TWRP(REQUIRED FOR 4.4):

Mirror 1: Download (Goo.im)

Mirror 2: Download (Crackflasher)

Flash the .zip file in your current TWRP to update to SELinux support.

BEFORE FLASHING ANDROID 4.4: PERFORM A WIPE + ADVANCED->FORMAT SYSTEM TWRP.

STEP 2: BETA BUILDS OF CM11.0 (SIMILAR TO UPCOMING NIGHTLIES):

Mirror 1: Download (Goo.im)

Mirror 2: Download (Crackflasher)

DO NOT USE ART YET. BUGGY AND WILL PROBABLY NEED A DATA WIPE TO RECOVER FROM

GAPPS (For Android 4.4/CM11.0 builds):

NEW! http://d-h.st/mDt (Hopefully goo.im will put up official Gapps soon)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wws12:
Do I have to use your modified TWRP or can I use the regular 2.3.60 or 2.3.6.1? Also, what do you mean perform a wipe + advance + format system twrp?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
Wish I could still have my kindle so I could test this.. Sadly I don't tho. Thanks Hash I'm sure everyone appreciates your hard work.

Quick question, how does this compare to 4.3.x and below, like does the supposed memory improvements seem noticeable. I haven't noticed much on my s4 or Transformer tab but they do how quite a bit more memory than the kfire
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
ART is still VERY buggy, so the memory improvements are only slightly noticable (for me at least). However, the future is very very good for 4.4 on the 1st Edition Kindle Fires, once ART issues are fixed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
Well that's great to hear. Maybe I can scrape together some extra cash and buy one on eBay for cheap. Also, what seems to be the issue(s) with ART?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
You must use a TWRP which supports SElinux. If in doubt, just flash mine (I think the 2.6.3.1 update was also for SElinux but, I've been testing this build w/ mine so YMMV).

To perform the wipe I mentioned:

- Perform a TitaniumBackup of your apps+data in the current ROM you are using.

- Reboot to recovery

- Select "Wipe", and swipe to start

- When that's done, select "Home" and go back into "Wipe" -> "Advanced" and select "System", then swipe again.

All set. Flash away.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Mostly odex'd apps will break it. And if the crash causes some core service to fail, it's an endless bootloop that needs a data wipe to fix. :/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Art works fine on my Omni test build for some reason ... haven't done much testing but it certainly seems snappier when using Art.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
Hash, quick question. Can I flash with 2.3.6.1 current? Or it won't work...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Yes, 2.6.3.1 from [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] should have SElinux support. I didn't realize that he put out an official build.

OP editted to include that file link and instructions.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
How many apps do you have installed? I find that the initial "empty" test boots may work, but when getting the device resetup w/ all my normal apps, it'll just blow up in my face and end in a bootloop.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Right, I only installed gapps + very few apps. However, when doing the same on CM11 i never got the device to boot up completely.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] boringfrog:

Looks like the CM.11 download page is down?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
My KFire 1st ed. is setup as an actual dev device, with serial out. Also, since the device is so simple ( no camera, bt, hdmi etc) it has always been my first choice of omap devices to work through new OS bringups.

That being said, the HDs are also in progress.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lifegap:
Quick tip for who not familiar with adb/fastboot: Download twrp 2.6.3.1.bin, rename it to twrp.bin, place it kindle fuire utility/recovery folder and run the KF utility/ update twrp command. Then reboot the KF and the KF utility do the rest within 2 secs.

Great thanks Hashcode, you are the Man. Finally I can run KK4.4 on my beloved 1st KF. But all widgets gone in th application page. Where I can get it back?

General question: how much free ram?

No transparent status bar??

Sent from my air powered ceiling fan
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lifegap:
Free RAM of my KF1 (~30 apps) is >130 MB, much better than 4.3 (~90 MB). The transparent status bar is not available on my KF, I guess due to low RAM and the outdated PowerVR SGX540
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wuarx:
Transperant status bar isn't available on tablets. This feature is available only on phones running 4.4

I tried a lot off times.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
The Flashify Method

First time that I ever used Flashify, thanks for the tip, it works great. Downloaded the IMG file, selected Recovery Image, pointed Flashify at the right file and all done. Not counting the time it took to download the image, 60 seconds is probably an exaggeration. It was FAST.

Have the ROM, waiting for the GAPPs download to complete and I'll be rockin' some Kit Kat on my Kindle.

Installation complete, went quite smooth. Early on, of course, but any difference in performance is so slight as to be barely perceptible. At least not to me at this point.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cksamurai:
yes flashify is amazing, took me all morning to remember the name of the app. twrp was updated without fail, though twrp app from the playstore was unable to update the recovery. flashify :good: Rom installed perfectly and running sweet, only having some screen burn in of what was previously on screen but thats minor, wifi is going great for me. thanks Hashcode :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] conceptxo:
Yeah the flashable zip for recovery doesn't do anything. I had to fastboot. I also notice that TWRP latest breaks mounting of storage over USB.

As for WiFi issues I just skipped setup and then connected through Settings, then added back all my accounts.

Just to make sure that I understand you, are you saying that when you select Mount USB under TWRP, it fails for you? Works perfectly for me. Could be a driver issue for you? Under Win 7 it mounts as Removable Drive for me while in Recovery mode and MTP when booted.

Use Google, my friend. The gateway to wisdom.

(Also answered in my previous post.)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] swaarley:
I've tried that too. I did reflash the ROM+GApps and that worked, guess something was just not configured right.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Moaely:
I was on android 4.3. It didn't work right and was always FC. My twrp was 2.0.0 (very old).

So i also got mounting problems when trying to flash 4.4.

I was reading this forum and found the beforementioned flashify. I tried to update twrp with twrp recomended by hashcode. I didn't work and destroyed my 2.0.0. twrp. So i downloaded the standard twrp latest version 2.3.6.1 and reflashed it with flashify and twrp updated. Only thing left was to flash rom and gapps.

I got to say this rom is awesome. Hashcode gread job!!! It runs superbly and did not have any FC even on demanding websites.

I just have one question regarding flashify and it is not connected to this thread just a general question. I got a standard phone. Can I just simply root it and push the twrp or cwm with flashify or do I have to instal adb drivers and push it with my computer.

Thnx!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Personally, I have always pushed recovery at the same time as I have done root. It seems to me to be a best practice, do it and be done. But if you have a reason not to, all Flashify seems to require is root. Or you could download Goo Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en) and then select Install Recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
hash thanks:) awesome work again. i must repair my broken screen on my bricked kindle and try your emmc recovery solution. thanks again. Steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] incubus26jc:
I think this one flashes in recovery just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
There is a good reason for this, and be thankful you did not brick your KF.

Hashcodes file is a .ZIP - meant to be flashed from recovery. ie boot to TWRP 2.x and flash to 2.3.6.0

The other is a .BIN - originally to flash from fastboot, but now with flashify, still from fastboot, but automated so you do not have to deal with console commands.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Moaely:
Ok so my question is why complicate things. Instructions in general are very bad on this forum. Why not simply say download flashigy, download latest twrp and install recovery from there.

But still brick avoided, got my 4.4 and am loving it :)

So let me just do a recap:

root phone,

install goomanager or flashify

install recovery threw above programs

go to recovery

flash rom

flash gapps

and that is it??

Waw things are realy getting simpler :)

Touchscreen Sensitivity

All,

I'm running the latest 10.2 nightly and I've been seeing touchscreen sensitivity issues for some time. I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done to tweak the settings.

Specifically clicking links in the browser is *horrible* I will touch a link 3-4 times before it will register. It seems that if I sort of touch and hold (but not too long), that works best, but it doesn't work every time.

Are there any settings for adjusting this? For the B&N Nook HD+, developer verygreen wrote an app. I'm wondering if something similar could be done for the Kindle Fire.
