i am a netflix user and not happy that it doesn't work now. nor am i happy that the sound still cuts out. i'm even less happy with the battery life. i have not done any "real" testing, but while playing a simple puzzle game like Geared i'm losing 4% every 5 minutes. before the update it was about 1% every 5 minutes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slm4996:
If your not happy with a problem then fix it, or offer to provide the information needed by the developer to fix it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Sounds great :) The bluetooth app can be found in the removedapps.zip in the OP.

Ah allright :) I'll look into it for the next build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Great ROM, sir.

Awesome. Thank you very much. Do whatever you did in the 4/25 build, because it was correct in that one. I am now currently using this as my daily, as I too, feel it is the most complete ICS ROM w/ a 3.0 kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Battery life

Hi Gedemis, The battery drains around 10% an hour with light browsing. Is this normal, can it be improved. I think that's the biggest thing you can improve on in this ROM. I really appreciate your work man. Thanks

Do you want to try this systemui and see how you like it?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ijhy7zeyh5rncxj/SystemUI.apk
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
can the status bar been brought to the top or brought down? because apps like quickoffice i wont be able to see the menu bar welll i think ill get back on that
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Entire UI disappeared. No status bar or soft buttons to navigate. Having to reflash all over. Thanks, though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
Funny, that is the one I'm currently using. Did you replace it using root explorer?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chrisliphart:
Okay, probably tired of hearing my issues, but I just plugged it into my computer, and USB Mass Storage is not working for me. So I'm seeing two continuing issues: Unable to purchase from Play Store, and no USB Mass Storage. This is on a clean install.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
My USB mass storage works fine on a clean install, I know I'm stating the obvious but you might have to try re-downloading and re-flashing. Try wiping Delvik/cache after install as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chrisliphart:
Done twice, but a third time can't hurt. I'm an old vet at this. lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] motioneso:
Was your HD formatted to FAT32?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ZzHacks:
Been at bootAnimation for 20 minutes
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ZzHacks:
Also I flashed with cwm :/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Did you read the OP where it says ONLY FLASH USING TWRP! in big red letters?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ZzHacks:
Yea but no comp ATM so guess no ics hwa goodness
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
use my script method and instal twrp.

this^ I can't wait til my otg cable arrives
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spg76:
This rom it's awesome. Super fast, and very polished.

My only problem it's that not all apps show the tablet version (all ICS roms for the KF have the same issue). I know that you can partially fix this changing the DPI but it's not ideal.

Could this be related to specific apps or it's a system problem? Because some apps, like Chrome, used to show the phone version and after an update the tablet version start showing.

Anyway, thanks gedemis (and others devs) for such a wonderful work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chrisliphart:
Third clean download and clean install. I've got USB mass storage working, but I still can't purchase from the Play Store. It's weird that different parts of the ROM are working each time. Should I go for a fourth?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Maybe try flashing the latest GAPPS first and see what that does, if not go for a fourth.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Yes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
Tell gedemis thanks for the effort and revert back to an older build. Then you can stop being "not happy"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluPix:
I many articles linaro developers uses "-fstrict-aliasing" flag. It disable one of -O3 optimalization so it will be little slower, but it may solve some problems. If you can, please change flags to:

"-O3 -march=armv7-a -mcpu=cortex-a9 -fstrict-aliasing"

It will be little safer.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jyesucevitz:
i've already thanked him for his work before. i think it's perfectly fine to reply to another poster and let them know what you are happy with or not happy with. and i should thank you for your very useful post as well i guess?

For who asked about MX player, v1.5a working with rom v1.6
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dudeitsvinced:
Shhhhhh.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jyesucevitz:
hash kernel with this rom

if any1 is interested, i flashed the hash 3.0 kernel from 06/08 into this current rom and it did not fix the netflix problem or the sound cut-out problem. i don't have any on board videos to test mx player. sorry.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
mx player doen't play ball, but bs player is working fine and imo it is better:-)

i can confirm that netfix does NOT work with this rom and hash's latest kernel:-(

if you need anymore logs etc on netflix issue let me know and i will try to help (although you guy's are a lot more advanced in this subject than I am).

thanks again. Steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Version 1.6 is already built using -fstrict-aliasing
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jyesucevitz:
i noticed the :( sad face after you mentioned netflix not working. sad face indicates that you're not happy . you're not supposed mention that you're not happy with something. you're only to say thank you and keep your honest thoughts to yourself.

(at least that's what i've been told)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dudeitsvinced:
Cut it out bro, its a free rom, your personal dislikes have no meaning. Its common sense that you're going to be upset when something doesn't work. But this is a place for being constructive, not whining. This is someones hard work, pride and joy. Don't hate, appreciate.

I love this rom, its great. I'll wait around for my mx player to work, its worth it. Gedemis does an amazing job of listening to the people and working out kinks. This rom just keeps improving.

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

I seem to be having fewer wifi issues with v1.6 of the rom, hasn't cut out on me during any large game downloads. Awesome.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dasanko:
The only issue I'm having (I don't use netflix or mxplayer) is, as others have mentioned, an insane battery drain. Can someone who flashed Hashcode's kernel on top confirm if their battery is still draining way faster than usual?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Might be because the wlan driver was upgraded to NLCP R5.00.18. :)

I'm in the process of building using the flags

-O3 -fmodulo-sched -fmodulo-sched-allow-regmoves -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a9

Since building -O2 should fix the netflix issues, I'm trying to narrow down the sinner that crashes the build(When -O3 is on).

So far I've got my eyes on libstagefright. Will update later on when my computer is done compiling. Sigh, gotta love my Core 2 Duo <.<
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
What error do you get?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Can you test whether the battery drain is wifi related? Just trying to rule out other possibilities than the obvious Linaro upgrade.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
I'm getting the same error as you posted earlier(when opening netflix). Hash said it might be related to OMX libraries, and since libstagefright handles these, I thought it might be a good place to start :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
on soapbox/

I'm completely happy with this rom.

because i put :-( it does not relate to the way your post came across as ungrateful. please keep me out of any point scoring etc.

/off soapbox

all I'm here for is to test and (in whatever small way i can) help with new roms and hopefully learn something whilst i'm at it.

thanks again for this rom:-)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Well ... Netflix worked fine in my build. I had an issue with MX Player which reverting to -O2 fixed. Are you just building the kernel separately using linaro or together with CM9? I did the latter and that's probably the reason why I didn't face any netflix issues (I guess).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Both the Netflix and MXPlayer issues are caused by building with -O3(which is where most of the real improvements in speed come from), so I really want to build as much as possible with -O3.

I'm building the kernel separately, but it really has nothing to do with the crashes :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Well ... what can I tell you - Netflix worked fine for me with -O3.

And I haven't seen any noticable performance difference between -O3 and -O2 (same score in quadrant standard). I think somebody even mentioned something related a little earlier in your thread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Oh my bad. Did you compile both the ROM and the kernel using -O3?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
I don't think battery drain is completely wifi related. Here is a screenshot of my battery usage over the past day. It seems to me that the battery is draining most quickly when the screen is awake.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] okle100:
well if I remember corectly frm my gentoo days there was a big discussion regarding O2, O3, and Os flags. it went somthing along the lines that O2 and O3 give basicaly realy close speed improvements (atleast on amd64) and Os made smaler files witch in turn had smaller load times in Ram (less I/O) but were less memory efficieent.

Now this might not be true any more or not apply to arm at all, but in my humble opinion it's worth giving an O2 compile a try and just compare the speed difference.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] okle100:
I dont seem to hsave any difference between 1.55 and 1.6 regarding the battery drain.

In order to have more relevant information regarding the batery drain I would recomend using betterbatterystats app(free for xda users - just search the forums), then charge the kindle to 100% and use it as regullar. Before charging it again open the app, set it up to show stats since last charged, and take a look at the partial wakelocks. This usualy pinpoints the battery hogs. On my phone Ics rom for instance there was a bug with maps that drained the battery like crazy when the Gps waas off. My point is that battery drain can be something totaly unrelated to the obvious rasoons from the normal battery stats, and the app i recomended earlier gives you much more information
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Here's what I needed to change to get a full successful build in case you're interested: https://github.com/loosethisskin/android_build/commits/linaro/

My first goal was to get a full linaro build going - next I'm going to look at other compiler options and see if they make a difference.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serx7:
I'm just visually comparing your battery rundown graphs to screen shots i've taken on all CM9 ROMs I've been on over the past month, and the slope of the graph when the screen is on, is virtually identical to what you're seeing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] barrmulio:
count me in with the battery drain (but also seeing big interface performance gains in apps), i could actually see it go down 1% every 2 min or so just doing minor tasks (flipping between minor apps, some browsing) on 1.6, whereas I didn't notice it before..

the antutu battery tests do indicate v1.6 is more intensive, but not by that much (only 5% - 405 vs 382)...i'm charging back up now so i can get betterbatterystats logs on both versions

a lot of other phone roms w/linaro are also mentioning battery drain, so it may take a while to shake out and get better...but v1.6 was a big step in the right direction to have us test it out, so thanks gedermis for getting this out the door so quickly
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
I'm off to bed for tonight. Last boot caused my Kindle to get stuck before bootanimation for no apparent reason.

Will try rebuilding everything tomorrow :b
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dasanko:
I've tested wifi on and wifi off, both for the same amount of time - just reading a book using FBReader - and the battery consumption was equal in either case (but far superior to 1.55).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluPix:
-O3 is only alias for few flags, we just need to find which flag makes problems and disable it, or compile selected programs with -O2. If you want to reduce memory footprint, maybe it's time to start experiment with ldflags like --as-needed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
This is exactly what I've been doing :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jyesucevitz:
you're right, and i apologize. i got pissy over someones stupid remarks about my post. i used your post to try to make a point and that was wrong. i apologize.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
Those weren't, as you called them, 'stupid remarks'. They were perfectly valid and correct.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andPS2:
max payne running for anyone?

can't get it to work with latest rom

gonna test with 2.3 now

p.s. works with [KANG] CM7KFire
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Scaevola:
I had battery drain issues in 1.55 as well, I don't think it's related with Linaro upgrade.

It's not so critical for me but sometimes it happens even though the wifi is off. I guess some applications may be preventing sleep. (I turned off Maps, which is the primary suspect. Also, I'm using Ondemand as suggested.)

However, this may be a general issue with CM9, there are battery life complaints for other devices as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jyesucevitz:
correct in your opinion. i will always believe that telling someone in a related post that you're not happy with a function that no longer works that you liked is fine. NO WHERE did i say the rom sucked because it doesn't. NO WHERE did i say i didn't appreciate what the developer has done because i do. i've said in other posts that i appreciate what people like this do because i can't do it. you know what? netflix doesn't work now. sound cuts out. battery life is less. i'm not happy with those things. the developer can't possibly foresee every single thing that will be effected by changes that he/she makes to try to improve things. that's why this forum exists. the fact that you were offended that i told another poster i wasn't happy with some of negative results i've had is regrettable. i will try to keep that in mind in future posts. honest. i am moving on from this issue. if you wish to keep bringing it up, go ahead. i'm out. i'll test what i can. experiment where i can. help where i can. (though limited.)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
It's working on 1.55 for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mitzumr:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] artur0588:
Who can confirm that check box absent in browser in v.1.6, who else have this issue. For example box remember me no in any website.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Guys please keep this on topic!

As for 1.6, I think the default governor got switched to "Interactive" by mistake. Is the battery drain equally bad on Ondemand?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dudeitsvinced:
No luck with Max Payne for me. Still trouble with madden 12 as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Whoops lol. I accidentally had it set on Performance governor. No wonder my battery was draining so quickly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
*Clap* :P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jyesucevitz:
mine has been on "ondemandx". would you like it changed to just "ondemand"?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] guyute74:
Glad I'm not the only one with battery drain issues. My governor also reverts to interactive after a reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Change it to ondemand and make sure set on boot is checked. Then it should stick.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kylboy06:
It seems to me that the touch screen is too touchy in the latest build, but was fine in the previous build, anyone else having this issue?

I always factory reset before flash and wipe after flash, never have trouble. :D

Other than that ... always facing trouble .... :mad:

Try it ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
I came up this ROM from another and wiped everything, yet I've had at least one random reboot so far.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ciespi:
This update Broke Netflix. any Fix or work around??

Edit:Just wanted to add that CPU Governor is perfect stays at ON Demand havent switched to any other setting. also battery life has been better than other Releases.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rua_boy:
i like this room

it's better if you can add this function "* Edge swipe navigation (can be used to quickly toggle the status bar with a single swipe)" like this room http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1682567

thanks for your hardwork
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Scaevola:
Gede previously indicated that this feature may prevent some applications using the edge of screen function properly, however, just like on that rom, it can be included as an option so that it can be turned off and on as needed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Yeah I think this will be my way of doing it :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] clifford25501:
I have again trouble whis WIFI. I got out of range massage whis this release. Any chance to fix it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Really, you need to be more specific than this :/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chrisliphart:
Netflix is known to be broken, and he's working on fixing what broke.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GT5830:
Battery Percentage

My KF was charged from 0 using original adaptor. The percentage increased ... upto 21%. After few hours, I checked, still @21%, sh**, what's wrong?? I unpluged and pluged the adaptor, no change and no charging indicatiion (led). Check the battery status, it's charging, good....

Still not sure on charging then I restarted the KF, the bat percentage @100% .... oh Thanks God .... My question .... why did the percentage stuck on 21%?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scarfoot:
Great ROM! I have noticed that my wifi is weaker, compared to the last version... It's about two bars weaker.. I have 2 KFs running the last version, but and 1 KF running the latest release. If you put them near each other, you can see the difference. Also, when I tether the new version to my cm7 moto dx2, it drops connection frequently. Hope this helps.. On the plus side, when it is tethered to my phone, I get a much faster connection.

Thanks!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] andPS2:
any idea what broke max payne in 1.6?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] old_pocket:
browser crashes

Cant ignore any longer the multiple browser crashes since 1.6, tried boat and dolphin, both behaved the same. Sometimes the browser work like for hours, sometime they crash after a few minutes. Went back to 1.55, everything very stable again. Returned to 1.6. Same procedure, the apps suddenly stops to exist .Really like the ROM, very smooth now, but there seems to be something instable " inside".
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Maybe the charger slipped in the port or something.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Have you tried Chrome Beta?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Yeah I noticed that my wifi is behaving oddly aswell. Will look into it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Nvm, my router had it's antennae in a horizontal position :b

Big news btw! I've managed to fix MXPlayer(Netflix should be working aswell) by changing the thumb optimization level to -Os. However, the actual ARM compilation is still running at -O3. Antutu shows the same level of performance as 1.6 (scores 6135).

I will try to put out 1.65 tonight :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yes, that's exactly what I have done.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Do you still have ARM as -O3? And strict-aliasing enabled? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I have TARGET_arm_CFLAGS still set to -O3 but reverted back to no-strict-aliasing to avoid "dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules" build errors.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
If you apply all the aliasing fixes, you can build with strict-aliasing :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
What fixes are those?

Also, I haven't tested it yet but this pending change might enable us to build using -O3 for thumb as well.

Because this was the MX Player error which -Os solved:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load library: reloc_library[1314]: 132 cannot locate '__aeabi_llsr'...

Thx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Most of them are listed here: http://pastebin.com/4cPt22sv

I already tried building with that change, but it didn't make MXPlayer work with -O3 :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Right, I looked at a similar pastebin text for samsung tuna - but I didn't feel to apply all changes and wanted to keep them at a minimum.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
Yeah took some time to work them all out.. :b
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
NEW VERSION OUT!

Changelog from OP

16-6-2012

Bugfix patch

- Rebuilt kernel using the newest CodeSourcery Toolchain. Included sbradymobile's touch event filter. (Should help reduce the touchscreen eagerness a bit)

- Now running Ondemand governor as default again.

- Compiled thumb as -Os. This fixes MXplayer/Netflix

- All ARM libraries are compiled as -O3. Performance should be the same as 1.6, if not a bit better!

- Added top swipe functionality. Go to Settings->System->Swipe Action to set it up. Currently supports "show/hide statusbar", "back button", "home button", "QuickSettings" and "none".

- Added an option in Settings->System for turning on/off the CRT lockscreen animation(Checkbox is a bit inconsistent, just click it until it works).

- Added a new softbutton theme - Axi0m (suggested by barrmulio)

- Now uses the new CM9 bootanimation :)

Screenshots (Softbutton theme + 1.65 performance):
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mrl515:
Looks awesome, I must say. I'm coming from BiteBlaze's ReloadedROM, which he will likely stop supporting on the KF, and I have to say I probably should have made the switch sooner. Keep up the great work!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
A quick thing about the Crt animation. There are 2 options for it. One under Settings>System>Use crt animation and the other under Settings>Display>Screen off animation

Both have to be either checked or unchecked for the crt animation to be disabled and one of them checked and the other unchecked in order to use the animation.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Quadrant score is a tad lower than last rom. No big deal though.
