Chrome force-close issues

I noticed in a the gedeROM Dev thread that folks are having a problem where Chrome force closes when entering settings from the menu. I wasn't having this problem myself and was curious why when so many others were. It turns out, at least in my case, the problem doesn't occur when running at a screen DPI of 170. However, I can reproduce the problem at the stock DPI of 160. I just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone who is curious.

Also, this is a bit of a dupe post, I created another thread entirely earlier since it happens on other ROMs as well. I thought more gedeROM users might see it here however, sorry for the duplicate.

Question about the CPU frequency:

In settings/performance/processor, can someone tell me what the cpu frequency means? Mine is set to 300 MHz. Can I (and should I) set it to something faster? And what does that do?

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
That's the frequency your processor (The Central Processing Unit: CPU) runs at. There are two options, minimum frequency and maximum frequency. As a general rule, the higher the frequency is set at the faster your device is but your battery life goes down. I'd leave the minimum frequency at 300mhz. Then you can change the Max frequency to your needs.

Best Performance: but battery life will be worse

Max: 1200mhz

Governor: Performance

Better Battery: but worse performance

Max: 800mhz

Min: 300 mhz

Governor: Conservative

Recommended Setting: good balance of performance and battery

Max: 1200mhz

Min: 300mhz

Governor: ondemand
[Kindle Fire General] IndianaBond:
Another question :p

When I change the DPI to anything higher than 160, the soft buttons disappear. I made sure that it's not on auto hide/hide. I have to hold the power button down to get the popup power menu (which has the back and home soft buttons) to use the back and home soft buttons.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Look in the settings and try to find an option to turn on combined bar or something similar to that.

Hi, I installed gedeROM v1.7, and everytime I went recovery mode TWRP 2.1.1. I cannot get boot into gedeROM and it kept corrupted every time. I had to re-wipe 3x everything then reinstall gedeROM. I can able boot into gedeROM but once I reboot. EVERYTHING dead corrupted. I do not understand why gedeROM kept giving me problem. I tested different ROM like GlazedICS, Eye Candle, AOKP and etc. All passed without any problem.

Any idea why gedeROM is the one giving me problem? Even I did a fix permission from the TWRP recovery mode then reboot system. Still DEAD!

ARGH :confused:
[Kindle Fire General] IndianaBond:
Well, I looked in every setting in settings and couldn't find anything. I'm using button savor right now. I'm stuck.
[Kindle Fire General] philipsw:
I tried 170DPI on a different ROM (SGT7) and didn't have this problem. Try looking under settings->system ->combined bar navigation, and enable the menu button (and always enable for it).
[Kindle Fire General] IndianaBond:
I'm using gedeROM 1.7 and there is no "combined bar navigation". Hmm...kinda wierd.

Hello,

I love this ROM. Unfortunately there is no more development I guess.

I know there is nothing to improve, but was anybody able to install some new Hashcode kernel?
[Kindle Fire General] ortrigger:
At this point you might as well update to jelly bean. It has the new hashcode kernel and a lot of other nice features on top of it. My personal favorite is the cm10/sgt7 ROM.

Sent from my aokp'd n7
[Kindle Fire General] kusic:
Hello,

I have been there - cm10/sgt7 - months ago. Actually I prefer stability and battery life over "nice features". Despite what everybody says they (at least months ago) are/were not daily drivers. I had to come back to gedeROM.

Did this changed already?
[Kindle Fire General] ortrigger:
Most definitely. I've been using that same rom on my KF basically since it came out and basically all the bugs have disappeared since it first was released. And battery life is significantly better also since Hashcode released his updated kernel. You should definitely try it again.
[Kindle Fire General] kusic:
So I have tried Hashcode's CM10 + Kernel 3 ROM. Looked nice, charging fine, but then it has just died. And then again and again. I have to check if it is not some mis-behaving app, but the same set of applications worked fine on gedeROM.

P.S. I have wiped everything including /system of course.

Issue

I am having an issue with the new ROM. Since I can't post in the dev forum, I thought I'd try my luck here. Everything installed great, no issues. Runs smooth except for the Wi-FI. I have excellent signal strength when the scan comes up. I see my network, I am able to enter in all my info, but when it starts to obtain an IP address, my signal strength drops to poor. It will then cycle through again repeating the process. If I stop the obtaining process, I get full signal strength again. I tried looking for the fixes in the past, but am coming up short on any suggestions. I was hoping that someone knew the thread and could give the link so I can try it out.

Thanks!

Overall this is a great ROM and Ive run 1.2 for a few days now but I noticed my device wont go into Deep Sleep...checked Hashcode's kernel thread and all I could find was that the issue had been fixed but not in my case...with very light use I have cpu spy showing 18hrs @300mhz and only 3 hrs @deep sleep. I was giving the battery a couple cycles to settle but it wont get any better if it continues to run in this type of sleep cycle...anyone have the same?
[Kindle Fire General] webdroidmt:
I was using Hashcode's complete rom/kernel release from 4/28 and I had keypress clicks with both the standard and Hacker's keyboard, so I don't think that it's a kernel issue. I flashed gedemis' 1.25 rom today and I no longer have the keypress sounds.

I'm sure gedemis is aware of it and will figure it out soon enough. Although I'm one of those guys that likes keyclick sounds, it's a very trivial issue on an otherwise excellent rom with a very current feature set. Props to gedemis.

Sound On KeyPress

It's odd, but I have had this issue with all of the CM9/Kernel 3.0 Roms I have tried. May be something that is just specific to me, and its really no big deal, at least to me :) Lol, guess I could always go back to the stock ROM if it was :p

I am getting deep sleep with ondemand... Will now try with smartass.
[Kindle Fire General] TheZooCrew:
I had the clicks with other ROMS, but never with this one. I figured that it was a low priority so I never cared too much. I'm sure that it'll be looked at in the future. But you aren't the only one that has this issue.

Now I have noticed after installing the new ROM that my battery seems to drain faster then the previous one. I am not sure if I am being paranoid or just never really noticed it before. I also added the new FFF1.4 so I can't be sure that it's the ROM. I'll have to try out that cpu spy and see what's going on. I have noticed that under my battery tab that my screen is taking up 40% of my battery time, roughly 8 hours, but I have only had it on for about 3. I turned the brightness all the way down and my usage stays the same.

My question is, is there an app to help diagnose the issue? I'm still new to all this so I am trying to learn all I can. Thanks!

[Kindle Fire General] dferrey:
I got my KF late last week. Rooted it for the first time the same day. I spent a lot of time on this site and choose this ROM

I installed this, my first custom ROM earlier today. I followed the simple directions verbatim and had no problems.

The only real issues I had were due to my lack of knowledge of ICS. As I've never really had a customizable launcher, It's taken some time to understand how it works. I had a hard time finding where I could change the default launcher. Ultimately I decided on Apex

My only real problem with Apex is I haven't figured out how to set up the row/columns in portrait and landscape so all the ICONs display.

No issues with WiFi.

Battery Life seems about what I had before.

Battery ICON changed correctly

Haven't tried key press, don't care for it

Installed Amazon App Store w/o any problems

Being new to this, I can't offer any in depth comments. However, being new to this I can say it was very easy to install and works great, that should count for something :)

Love this ROM

I have been a lurker here for a while now, but I have to say coming from a phone(Revo) that basically has one option when it comes to ROMs I was a little confused getting a Kindle and having many good options. After trying most of the ones posted here and they all have good qualities and I really appreciate all of you guys that work on them I was left disappointed after being spoiled by all the great work that MT does for the Revo, Trying this ROM I think I have found the one I want to use. The others were pretty good, but this one has been smoother and my Kindle doesnt get hot anymore. Big thanks for all the work you guys do.:)

[Kindle Fire General] erad1:
If I'm not mistaken an Android device wont go into 'deep sleep' while charging, usually it goes to 200MHz or the lowest charge set by the kernel. I highly also recommend the 'betterbatterystats' app as someone else had previously posted. I use it on all my Sammy's.

...and just to update from my previous post that mine deep sleeps fine now since switching back to 'ondemand' frequency setting.
[Kindle Fire General] TheZooCrew:
I would love to get the betterbatterystat app, but right now with only dog food, cat food, and peanut butter and jelly, I'm strapped for cash..lol.

I took a look at it and when I get the funds, I'm defintely going to get it. Pretty sad times when you can't afford $3.00.

Thanks for all the help though. I'm glad that this is an active community.

[Kindle Fire General] TheZooCrew:
Okay, he's an update from what I can gather. Erad1 is correct I believe, as I tested it here while I was at work. I do deep sleep with Wi-FI on and off. It must be a charging thing. It worked flawless both ways.

I also have to give a big thanks to everyone who pointed me to the betterbatterystat. I will download it when I get home. I'm all for hacking my fire, but not my company's Wi-Fi :p

I took a look at my apps running and appearently one of my sons must have been playing Temple Run as it was showing running for 34 hours...sigh. I stopped it and read for about an hour and half and only dropped 2% in battery. Once I get bbs installed, I'll have more info.

Wifi Issue

Tried this edit this morning, seem to have no effect at my house (where the Wifi is steady and have DHCP set to infinity) but there was a subjective improvement in the connection at my neighbors house (where his Wifi pulses - i.e. signal drops to zero from time to time). Didn't think to check his DHCP settings. Overall, connection much better since Wifi Tables were rebuilt for this latest build.

gedeROM makes Kindle Fire GREAT!

I had my Fire for about a month before deciding to root so that I could get a bit more functionality. I was also growing a little disenchanted with the stock Kindle homescreen and was finding the carousel to me rather annoying.

I really agonized over flashing a custom ROM and read as much as I could in the dev threads before concluding that gedeROM would be the way to go.

After testing, configuring, and playing with this ROM for 4 days now, the only question I have for myself is: why did I wait!

This ROM has been rock-solid stable and, whatever small annoyances might exist, they are all but transparent to me. The wifi is great, and when I'm on the road I can tether it to my Nexus S 4g for a full mobile experience. I think the only thing you really give up when moving away from stock ROM is inability to stream Amazon Prime video....which I could care less about anyway :)

This is a fantastic ROM and the devs deserve great kudos for their work!

Can I wifi tether from kindle using this rom? Kindle is currently reversed tethered via USB from PC but would like to use the kindle to share internet to other devices.
[Kindle Fire General] Docs009:
Wifi Sharing

Not sure why you would want to do this as the KF would be using Wifi or tethering itself to gain internet access, but no way currently for this to happen. There has been discussion about attaching devices to the USB port, but also unlikely to be helpful to you. BTW my Evo has a great Wifi Hotspot, should be getting cheap as the New one comes out. Now if only there was 4G in my area :)
