This is the problem ;). Use Hashcode CWM 5.5.0.4 ou TWRP 2.1.1 to flash any 3.0 kernel based ROM, and of course read the sticky thread before posting other questions about the 3.0 kernel ;).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Tyler83:
Thank you, it was the problem indeed and it's fixed now :)

I didn't read the sticky because I had no clue it was a kernel related issue.

Her Trojan38,

Apollo gives me a FC when opening on my own recent build.

But worse, Netflix has issues all of a suddon - the screen is black, no picture.

I think the reason might be this commit to CM: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/commit/7a5f54ef07a928f5db5da5c0eab1f0cfcb1e0d76. I'm testing a build right now with where I reverted this commit. We'll see...

I also committed a "Toggle Statusbar from Extended Power Menu" change to my local repo (not on github yet until I confirm the netflix issue). I'll probably put customization as such in a different branch on my github - you then can decide if you want to use it in your build - or just stick with the KF status bar changes in the ics branch.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Nice, thanks for your help :). I think the toggle can be cool, let's see ;).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yep, it's that commit - reverting it fixes netflix.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Ok thanks, I'm in France, so I personnaly can't test Netflix :p.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
There was a bug in that commit which they patched today:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16321/

I'm testing it now.

EDIT: Apollo was pushed w/o some resource files for hdpi and mdpi devices. So it's FCing. I think they're looking at it tonight.

EDIT2: Confirmed with that patch merged our netflix is fixed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yeah, I also saw the commit, reverted my revert, merged and running a build.

Thx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TexasRules777:
Hey Trojan! Thanks for building this rom..smooth as silk!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
After hashcode's "blessing" of this thread I flashed this.

I have to admit this ROM is super snappy even at 1ghz.

Awesome job!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Hey Trojan38,

I pushed the toggle statusbar change to my github. I've used a new branch "ics-custom" for now to leave you the choice.

The relevant commit is https://github.com/loosethisskin/android_frameworks_base_otter/commit/7a2e8394ddefe40a0378a88c2a507e2df83494e7 in case you or anyone else want's to have a look.

I tested it as good as I could and it works fine with the apps I've tested (Netflix, Temple Run, ...).

Battery Life

What is everyones thoughts on battery life on this ROM? I flashed this last night. Seems really smooth. Only thing is the battery seems to be running through pretty quickly. Anyone else notice this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
Compared to stock or gingerbread based roms all ics toms will have extra battery drain. This one is actually pretty good compared to all the others.

Our devices were never meant to have ics so the work the dev are doing is amazing. You want bad battery life try ics on my original Samsung epic. I get 12 hours, sometimes less, but it is worth it to have ics on a non- supported device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Just tested, awesome work you did (if you want the French translation, it would be "Afficher/Masquer la barre d'état") :p.

Uploading the new build right now ;).

EDIT :

May 23 build (now with Statusbar Toggle in Power Menu, thanks again to twa_priv ;)) : http://d-h.st/v4I

[Kindle Fire Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
Can anyone here confirm if there are any ROM-specific bugs? E.g. does it have the disappearing sound problem that gedeROM has? Thank you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
This bug is not ROM-specific, it's kernel-specific ;).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Been messing around with Apollo the last couple of days and it looks pretty nice. I especially like how it pulls up pics of the artists, many of which I've never seen.

It pulled up some vintage looking pics on some artists from the 50's & 60's that I had some music on, pretty cool. I'm guessing it'll be merged into CM9 any day now.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
It was merged but like said before, it FC'd because of missing .png for some resolutions. So CM removed it for now ;).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
For anyone who's curious and want's to try out Apollo - you should be able to download the apk from here: http://www.seeingpixels.org/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Yes, I know. I actually do read through the threads. ;) I meant merged and working, guess I should have said re-merged. :D

I d/l the apk from the link you provided and installed it on both my KF and TP, haven't used it extensively but so far it works pretty well.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] hunterhk:
If this is mostly identical to the Hashcode ROM, can I flash from Hashcode to this without doing a factory reset?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yes, just wipe cache + dalvik.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Yes of course :). I'll post the flashing instructions later :).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Trojan38,

Something seems to have broken for me with HWA since going from Hashcode's last current build. I use BS Player to stream movies from my PC and with your latest build, the movie will only play in SW mode. In HW mode, it either attempts to play and returns to the main screen, or freezes the app.

I restored my nandroid of Hashcode's build and it works as usual. So, I decided to test all 3 of your builds and it seems that your 5/19 build works but both 5/20 & 5/23 do not. I haven't tried playing any movies directly from KF storage, because the movies are fairly large and my KF doesn't have much available storage.

Anyway, figured I'd let you know. Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] KAdot:
I have just flashed ROM, gapps, but after reboot device always boots to recovery (CWM 5.5.0.4) :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Yes, I expect the same issue. I'll try to find the commit that is causing it.

Concerning the CWM reboot, I was expecting the same issue, just reboot in normal mode using fastboot.

EDIT : Eh of course (I must be lazy :D) :

twa_priv told me that he'll push this change (reverting commit) to his GitHub but I don't think he's already done that for the moment :). Badly, I think I can't build anything tomorrow to fix the issue :(.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I'll do a quick build with this commit reverted again and post the download link when done.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Hey thank you, you're the man ;).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
@Trojan38,

No problem, not an emergency. :p I'm sure you'll get to it when you are able. Btw, Netflix works fine, as does Youtube HD with 5/23 build. Also, I just tried Dice Player and it has the same problem with HWA.

I really do like the status bar toggle and I learned a little bit of Francais from your build info. :D

EDIT: Thanks for pitching in, twa-priv

Thanks,

Mike T

I would recommend using TWRP 2.1.1 until CWM for Kernel 3.0 gets straightened out. I believe Hashcode and Sblood86 are working on this.

If you are able to get into an OS, I would also recommend installing TWRP with smirkit scripting app, it's extremely easy.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] TexasRules777:
I completely thought it was my video player or connection..tried three different players and none worked. Glad to know i wasn't crazy :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
twa_priv,

Thanks for trying but still the same issue with both BS Player and Dice Player. Also, settings/about tablet/status FCs. I didn't check anything further.

Mike T

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

Well, I am crazy but unfortunately, it's still something with this build. :p

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I'm going to do another build without any customizations - hashcode's vanilla device repo + CM frameworks/base ...

BTW, are you saying that the settings - about tablet - status FC didn't happen with Trojan's latest build?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
I can't say that, I don't recall if I went into status on that build...Sorry!

EDIT: Come to think of it, I believe I did to check if my IP address may have changed with the build. But, I am not certain.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I uploaded a vanilla build: https://github.com/downloads/loosethisskin/android_device_amazon_otter/update-cm-9-20120523-SNAPSHOT-otter-vanilla-signed.zip

If anyone could test bs player hwa please...

@webdroidmt ... i figured out what the settings -> about -> status FC issue with my build was. I had the Phone.apk removed which caused the issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Yes, from the filesize of your build I figured you removed some stuff we don't need.

The good news- status doesn't FC

The bad news- HWA still broken at least with BS Player & Dice Player.

I wonder what could be different, not only from Hashcode's build but the very first build released by Trojan38 on 5/19, which worked??? I'll go back to Hashcode's build until this gets squared away. Thanks again for the effort.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Well ... the good news (for me) is that it's not related to my repos :).

Hash made a few kernel changes two days ago ... but I'm no way able to say if they are related.

Maybe I'll back them out and run another quick build - just to see...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
I've noticed quite a bit general CM activity over the last few days, could it not be CM commits, other than what you reverted causing issues? As for Hashcode's recent kernel changes, if I flashed Kernel 10(a) over your current build, maybe that will narrow it down. Maybe I'll give that a try just for the heck of it. Hey, isn't that what nandroids are for? :D

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Nope, I already tried flashing hash's kfire-kernel-05-12.zip over my vanilla build - same issue. Backing out his latest kernel changes also did not help.

I'm testing another framework revert now ... but I'm just guessing and don't have high hopes
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Yeah, same results for me. However, I just flashed Trojan's kernel image from 5/23 over Hashcode's 5/12 build and it's working beautifully. I would think this eliminates the kernel from the equation.

I took a look at Hashcode's git but since I am no dev, I really don't know what the kernel changes were from a couple of days ago. Can you shed some light on that for me. :)

Thanks,

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Seems like reverting https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/commit/5eaccc42ef29f68c92d39783a1a73c4eaac0156c did the trick. New build available here: https://github.com/downloads/loosethisskin/android_device_amazon_otter/update-cm-9-20120523-SNAPSHOT-otter-cmdev-test-signed.zip - bs player hwa should work again.

This build includes again the KF status bar customizations as wel as the toggle statusbar mod.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Thanks for sticking with this, I'll check this one out too. But can you tell me what the recent kernel changes were made by Hashcode? Thanks.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
He enabled some more modules in the kernel - but I have no idea what most of these do.

Here's the changelog: https://github.com/KFire-Android/kernel_omap/commits/4AI.5/.

Hopefully hash stops by this thread sometime and maybe adds his 2 cents regarding the CM commit I needed to revert to get bs hwa working again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Hehe, I was worrying about this commit too yesterday :p. Thanks for the build mate :). Do you think CM could patch it in the future?

And about your IP, it could have changed because of this commit: https://github.com/KFire-Android/kernel_omap/commit/f29b3c9d1b5499a3761b4039156a8f7fdea49653

Success! Working with BS and Dice Player. Also checked some other stuff like NF and all working well. As for those kernel changes from 2 days ago, I have no clue what they do. Hopefully, Hashcode will stop by and educate us. :p

So I must now use the hwa-test branch for my builds or will your merge it to the ics-custom/ics branch ? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yes, use the hwa-test branch for now. I don't want to revert it in the other branch until we're clear where the issue is.

I'm pm'ed the dev of this patch and his initial response was that there might be something wrong with OMX on our (kindle fire) side.

EDIT: This is for Hash when he stops by :) ... I've attached the logcat and tombstone generated when bs player fails to play the hd movie.

EDIT2: It's not a kernel issue for sure. Testing a possible fix right now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
Hay sorry if this has been asked or posted in the incorrect local but does anyone know of an updated guide for building from Source or would the guide from JackpotClavin minus the git-repo still apply? Sorry have built CM7 a few times using IngCr3at1on's guide but still relatively unsure of myself without a reference, especially when it comes to Github. Otherwise thanks for posting these builds. Was just about to try and use Apktool and try finding an XML to edit the toggles out when I noticed the post.

I've committed a fix for the bs player hwa issue to my https://github.com/loosethisskin/android_frameworks_base_otter repo. Thanks to maniac103 for his help - he will probably submit the official patch to CM soon.

@Troyan: The fix is committed to the ics-custom branch and I also deleted the hwa-test branch. Please update your local_manifest.

Also, a new 20120525 build (including Apollo) is available here: https://github.com/loosethisskin/android_device_amazon_otter/downloads

Well ... strictly speaking it stopped being vanilla as soon as a custom frameworks base was used (I wouldn't want to miss the modifications now that I'm used to them).

It's still almost vanilla though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
If you don't mind me saying, I'd appreciate if you did keep it vanilla. There are plenty of other ICS/CM9 build variants out there now and I think it would be a good for people to have a "pure" build to go to. Especially if Hashcode stops releasing full builds, while strictly focusing on the kernel.

Of course, this is just my opinion but it's your build and you can do whatever you choose. Thanks.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TexasRules777:
But would a little weather in the lock screen be all that bad? ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Probably not, as I don't use the lockscreen. :p Plus I already have a pretty cool weather widget. Also, I remember reading that Hashcode wanted to keep his builds as vanilla as possible and being that this is sort of a continuation of his builds, I would think they would stay the same.

That's why I just try most of the other roms but have stuck with Hashcode's builds as my main. I like a clean rom, that I can customize my own way. I guess that's the anal control freak in me. LOL But, as I said, whatever Trojan decides to add is fine with me. If I don't want it, I'll just remove it. After all, I do like the custom toggle for hiding notifications, so I guess if some little things are added, it's all good.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TexasRules777:

@Trojan38: What I'm working on with some of the latest kernel commits:

- [5/15+] Continuing work on charger -- most of which is not committed into the main kernel source.

- [5/21] Had a request to add utf8 (international) support for filesystem (filenames etc) so you can see the nls_utf8 module was added for those that need it.

- [5/21] I've been trying to work out VPN support as well. And so far only L2TP seems to be working. PPTP is being resistant via the Android interface getting an error that I'm researching.

interestingly, only these Vanilla builds result in backups that will restore unattended in TWRP. all my other CM9 ROM nandroids (gedeROM, hellfire, reloaded, AOKP) cause TWRP to stop after each partition restore. in those instances i have to restore /system, /data, /boot in 3 separate restore operations.
