I have some problem with charging, it's too SLOWWWW

I charge over my laptop

anyone help????:confused:
[Kindle Fire General] ZeroCool84:
Charge over your laptop? You plug a usb cable into the usb port of your laptop to charge your Fire? If so, usb charging is always slow no matter what device.

Hey gedemis, loving the new ROM.

1 thing though, is there a way to get rid of that animation when the screen is locked? It annoys me :P (not a major issue though)

Magnificent

Sorry for the late reply, but everything is working gloriously now. Reverted back to my 5/10 TWRP backup and just installed v1.6. I just tried Netflix and it's up! Now time to check out some of those new customization options. Are you in a band, because YOU ROCK, GEDEMIS.
[Kindle Fire General] chuaxda:
Just flashed to 1.6. Thanks for the great rom!

Some stuff to note:

I had to reinstall Flipboard app as it was giving me error

Uninstall MX player as it is not working under 1.6

Under Setting-Device-Storage, the USB Storage is wrongly displayed as internal storage?
[Kindle Fire General] Kot_manul:
Is new hashcode Kernel #12 already in this ROM?
[Kindle Fire General] robbie_the_best:
I agree

My first ROM 2 and I could not have asked for a while better experience,

Because it's almost completely bug free
[Kindle Fire General] gedemis:
Yeah the newest updates are in :) Compiled using Linaro, which should offer some speed benefits compared to Hash's(which is compiled using CodeSourcery).

Love ur rom. Haven't flash the new one but was wondering if it included the feature to use the slide lock screen with a pin.

Just flashed it and it does loving this'd rom even more now

Hello all,

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked but I'm kind of in a time crunch today and won't be able to look come tomorrow (laser eye surgery). Is it possible to download or dualboot this ROM with the "launcher" app that the kindle gets when you root it using fire utility? I love ics on my kindle but I def miss the ease of having the original kindle os on it for downloading books. Honestly I'm considering switching it back to go launcher/original os just for that launcher app. Other than that though I love this ROM its super smooth and I've had no problem. Thanks in advance!

[Kindle Fire General] serx7:
I've been using various CM9 ROMs the past several days and restored my gedeROM v1.4 backup in preparation to flash v1.6 over it (which went w/o a hitch w/ just cache/dalvik wipes).

Does anyone else have an issue in TWRP in which restoring a backup and specifying to restore System, Data and Boot, causes TWRP to only restore System, then back out to its home screen?

When this first happened to me a while back, I thought something bad had happened, but turns out I just need to restore System, Data and Boot in 3 separate operations. This also happens w/ my Hellfire backups.

Backups of Vanilla, Simple, Glazed, SGT7 all restore in TWRP in a single System/Data/Boot operation.
[Kindle Fire General] exibm:
hey gedemis - your ROM's rule the house!

I've been giving 1.6 a test drive and I've been experiencing the same issues as others with Netflix/MX, and intermittent sound cutouts. Also, battery drain seems a bit excessive. The 1.6 ui seems more responsive than 1.55 (benchmarks appear to support that).

Thanks for your hard work.
[Kindle Fire General] FearlessDK:
I love this rom. Great work!!
[Kindle Fire General] FearlessDK:
I seem to have a slight problem. I was using the browser, it went black and went to the boot screen where it the proceeded to do a complete reboot. That happened 3 times. Other than that it seems to be running fine.
[Kindle Fire General] JustJinxed:
Just a couple of issues im hoping there's a work around for?

So i've only had a couple of issues pop up while working on this ROM.

For some reason the sound cuts out in some games. Most notable is Tower Defense when the sounds get most intense it'll cut for a few moments and come back in after a bit. (Speed of sound coming backs seems to be faster if I click a pause menu or the like).

One issue I can track is some apps cause the system to lag after exiting them, even after killing all processes. Only solve for this I've found is rebooting. (Most notable, Tiny Robots) Not sure what's going on here.

I've recently (since 1.6 gede) flashed three separate kindles from factory default. So odds are fairly good the above is reproducible.

All and all it's a fairly stable and beautiful ROM! Setup was a breeze and I absolutely love the UI!! My clients all seem to be in agreement as well. One even said "Screw the warranty, I didn't know it [the kindle] could do THAT! I NEED IT!"
[Kindle Fire General] MrLight88:
Did anyone has an issue that force most Gameloft's games close when you tap 2 points at the same time? This one seem to be happened to all the Gameloft's games that their data are in gameloft/games folder, not with those in Android/data folder.
[Kindle Fire General] cipher_:
about the latest Netflix issues and the suspected cause being the -O3 gcc option:

since -O3 is just a optimization level and therefore only a collection of different optimization techniques it would be worth nailing down the one causing the problem by trying them out (if you don't want to fallback to -O2)

From the GCC 4.7 Manual (i think thats the one from the latest linaro toolchain)

I personally had the tree vectorization (-ftree-vectorize) causing crashes in one of my applications. It was an older version of gcc though.
[Kindle Fire General] gedemis:
Good thinking. I'm trying to narrow it down to one component in the build, and then just building that with -O2. But I might try simply enabling everything but, say, -ftree-vectorize
[Kindle Fire General] bflobills:
I flashed v1.6 and all worked very well except Netflix and my Sling player - where neither would work at all. The rest is fine nice work 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 :)

Downloaded and verified md5 but flash fails after two attempts. Coming from my backup of an older but stable (not sure which version - I think from may 13?) gederom. Will try once more with full reset, then it's back to my nandroid.

Great job, btw. Your work is very much appreciated. Thanks!

edited to add: Tried wiping everything but still fails right away - about 5 seconds in. Says "E:signature verification failed" I saved the log to sdcard but haven't found it yet, heh. Looked in sdcard\ and twrp folder

edited again to add: I found the recovery log and attached it here.

Idk if its just me but Netflix still doesn't work with 1.65 but Mx player does

[Kindle Fire General] IndianaBond:
This may be a dumb question but how do you update to the latest version?
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
Download the latest version.

Put the zip file on the root directory of the Kindle

Turn off kindle

Boot into recovery (TWRP)

(Making a backup is a good idea but it's not necessary)

Wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Flash the rom you put in the root directory

Reboot

Enjoy
[Kindle Fire General] anomalya:
This method for updating has always worked for me, then I do a complete TiBu user app restore (no system data), and I "fix permissions" in TWRP lastly after everything is set and done.

But with this latest update, I noticed that on reboot after I fix the permissions, I get loops in bootloader (FFF 1.4a).

I've resorted to complete wipes (factory resets and systems) and the update afterward is all well and fine until I fix permissions.

I've narrowed it down to this because I didn't find any of my restored apps misbehaving or get any FCs.

Might want to make a backup once you get into recovery.

It'll be my first time updating to the latest version of gederom (and my first time flashing a rom over a current one), so I'm still a little new to this rom deal. Will the apps I currently have installed still show up AFTER I flash the latest rom?
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
As long as you don't do a Factory Reset all your apps and other data will still be on the Kindle.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

Why do you need to fix permissions? I never do that.
[Kindle Fire General] anomalya:
Supposed to be insurance for restored (and overwriting) apps to play nicely on fresh installs/updates.

Update: I decided to take a crack at it again and just let it boot (thinking it's gotta take its time loading). Several loops later, I got frustrated and kept pressing for the power button - then sure enough, finally got the bootanimation to load.

Weird.
[Kindle Fire General] rikkoko:
Thank you and sorry but I forgot to ask my second question.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is "Linaro"? I'm finally making the switch from an old gederom build, but I would like to know what I'm getting before I try it out :p
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
It's basically a bunch of optimizations for Android to make it faster.

Just wanted to take a moment to say how impressed I am with gederom...Great Work! The only thing I could ask for is for built in xbox 360 wired controller support.

[Kindle Fire General] Zyxxeil:
Burrito root 3 is a apk for rooting. You wont need that if you are going to use the kindle fire utility. Well CM7 is pretty out dated and the buttons are pretty bad and not natural feeling. On the other hand ICS and CM9 are really fast and really good they have there own integrated buttons. You can try either one you desire. The best ones are the ones that are the ones with constant updates because those have fixes for any bug that might appear. Im the developer of Glazed ICS you can go try that if you want im not advertising just saying :D

Firefox Beta (14.0)

Has anyone else had trouble with Firefox Beta with 1.6+? It works well for me with 1.55, and starts up ok on 1.6 and 1.65, but hangs chewing all the CPU when I actually try to open a web page with it.

Did I mess with a setting, occasionally I get a red border flicker around the screen sometimes.

Is that the dev setting about Strict Mode?
[Kindle Fire General] Mars10:
I am loving this Rom!

The only things I notice that are funky are:

- Netflix crashes

- Random lockups (I assume this is due to the memory leak). I have to hold the power button for an extended period and reset the device. Not quit sure what is causing it yet.

- Video Game Lag (Grand Theft Auto, Onlive etc.) are pretty laggy

- Power LED only lights up some of the time when charging

Other than that, this rom is the most incredible thing to happen to the kindle fire ever. Cant wait to see what the next versions hold!
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
gedemis is working on the issues. These are known issues.
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
Maybe I'm lucky, but I watch Netflix a LOT on my Fire and I've never had a crash yet. I've also never had a random lockup. I don't play video games, so no comment there, and from what I understand the LED thing is a problem with the kernel and you won't find it working on any ICS based ROM.

New Version Out!

Changelog from OP:

26-6-2012 Version 1.7:

- Now running at -O3 optimization level again.

- Netflix should(finally) be working again.

- ROM is now built dynamically along with the kernel. So is the external SGX and Wlan libraries. This should ensure better compatibility going forward.

- Reworked the top swipe functionality. Now contains 3 customizable swipe-zones. (See screenshot at end of post).

- Show/Hide statusbar from swiping no longer force-closes apps.

- QuickSettings from swiping works.

gedeROM v.1.7

hey gede, I've spent a good bit of time today testing your new build.... apps, games, settings, Netflix, etc. are all working flawlessly. I'll continue to test and provide feedback if anything comes up. Thanks man, for another awesome ROM!
[Kindle Fire General] bigschmoove:
1.7 versus firefox beta

Firefox Beta still can't open any web pages on this build. The last working build for Firefox Beta is 1.55. Am I the only one seeing this?

I do love this ROM, and can't wait to be able to move past 1.55.
[Kindle Fire General] bflobills:
Bravo Gedemis... I have also tested V1.7 for several hours now and can report no problems so far.... Netflix, Slingbox, MX player are all working again :) and super smooth operaton. Thanks for an outstanding ROM!!
[Kindle Fire General] ortrigger:
I installed the latest rom last night. So far, it is working great. I do think it's funny that my kindle registers as a galaxy nexus.
[Kindle Fire General] Mantene:
Firefox issues

Yeah, I have this same problem. I cannot get to websites with Firefox Beta or Aurora. And it freezes if I go into settings in Aurora. I have done a factory reset and the only app I installed on the latest ROM was Aurora - the problem persists. I have gone back to 1.55 and all works as desired. Looks like I am staying at 1.55 for the time being.
[Kindle Fire General] Mars10:
Yes, Netflix and all of my games are working for me as well. I did have a random crash awhile ago. The device was just idle, i had not used it for a few hours, and it was locked up tight. I had to hold the power button and do a hard reset.

To be fair, this also happened in the previous version as well and I am not sure where the issue stands.

This rom is fantastic though, it has made my kindle so much more usable. Loving the latest build!
[Kindle Fire General] kf-ics-dan:
This just happened to me. I was on v1.55 up until last night when I flashed v1.7. Everything was running fine last night and this morning. I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. I went to use it (after being idle for about an hour), pressed the power button and nothing happened. Battery was at about 40% charge, so that had nothing to do with it. So, I held the power button for a minute and then pressed the power button again and it rebooted no problem. I hope that this is just an anomaly and won't happen again. If it does, I suppose I can go back to v1.55. But I really like the swipe feature on v1.7 so I hope I don't have to go back!

Google Play Music - Streaming Issues

I'm on the latest update and can confirm all the reported wonky media apps (i.e. Netflix) are now working in order (thanks Gedemis) - except for one, Google Play Music.

At least in my case, it would sync all my music just fine, however none of them would stream when pressed for play.

I'm not certain the latest update is directly causing this but I've reverted back to the 1.55 and it works just fine on it.

Interestingly, 1.70 has fixed my issue with the Wells Fargo banking app. So, it is an improvement for me.

This has happened to me several time also - just goes blank and needs the power button pressed a few times and it seems to turn on again okay. I have not had to do a hard re-set to get it back on, just power button presses a few times.

Not a show stopper for me as it always seems to recover without any problems.

Hi everyone I've been with version 1.55 for a while but yesterday I wipe my KF and did a fresh install of the new version 1.7, but I have some problems, I hope anyone have a solution

The first one is with Flipboard, it doesn't refresh the feed, the refresh icon keeps moving but nothing happends.

The other problem is with Foursquare, it seem to have problems connecting the servers, the app loads, but no info is showing, and when I tried to refresh it also stuck in refreshing for ever. I also tried Tweetdeck (an other 4sq apps) with my foursquare account and it fails too.

Any one else having this issues? Any solutions?

Wallpaper zoomed

Anyone having wallpaper zoom issues? Never had this problem in CM7, kinda irritating me for some reason. It appears in CM7 the wallpaper cropper in Quickpic and the Gallery would use the full height and double the width where here in this ROM the width is less so it zooms.

That's my wild guess anyhow. Trying a few different utilities later on, in the meantime I should be able to do what I want with Quickpic IMO.

BTW, is there a native wallpaper size for the kindle? I realize the screen is 1024x600 but what is it to account for the multiple homescreens? I recall seeing a formula for this elsewhere but ignored it as I didn't have any issues on CM7.

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

OK, I think from what I googled that the native rez for the Kindle SHOULD be 1200x1024. According to what I found the formula is simply 2x width and 1x the height of the portrait mode resolution. Thats what I used on CM7 and they were dead on in the Various croppers I used over time.

So, anyone have any idea whats going on with this ROM?
[Kindle Fire General] BobbaLouie:
OK, well, until it's fixed I found the easiest way to deal with it is the "Crop Wallpaper" app in the Play Store. Can't link, not enough posts! :silly:

i tried using gederom im not complaining its a good one but after a few days all flash stopped working.everytime i searched the internet without flash and question marks evrywhere is that because of the hw acc or adobe?
[Kindle Fire General] BobbaLouie:
I'm happy with how the ROM performs, very concerned about charging issues and considering going back to CM7. Sometimes it charges fine, roughly 30% an hour, other times it takes HOURS to even charge 10%. The display tellling you the percentage can't be trusted and when plugged in it switches back and forth between charging and not charging.

I realize there are known issues with all CM9 ROMs and charging, certainly this can be fixed eventually, right?
