I have yet to post a theme for this rom cause there is so much I am doing to it and also it is the wife's tablet ans she is currently in love with it and won't let me take it to work. I will get it posted soon.

Launched from one mean machine hopped up on some AOKP!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
That also happened on the previous build - just restored a nandroid and checked.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sbradymobile:
I forgot to add a settings observer, will add it in a bit.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
Hope u will release it soon. It looks very cool
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks Scott.

One other thing I noticed is that the "Volume change tone" setting doesn't work for all apps. For example, when changing the volume in the expanded bar when Netflix and Temple Run is open there's no change beep. I assume this is because these apps use the media stream.

It's not an issue at all for me - but I thought I mention it.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
When new build gets posted I will create my EyeCandy theme for it and post here temporaily, should be very simple and is pretty much complete. Have also added Sense 4.0 weather icons to lockscreen, very nice addition I think.

Here is a screenshot of my theme on Acer Iconia, but the Kindle and Iconia are running pretty much the same rom and are both MDPI based devices.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks Scott for fixing that also!

I'v just uploaded an updated 20120607 build which corrects the Screenshot and volume change sound problems.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serx7:
i was having dicey deep sleep behavior on the 0604 build (as reported by CPUSpy, but seemed to have very little negative impact on battery drain over several 6.5-7 hr screen off tests) , but on the 0607 build, it seems to be doing pretty well. it's even going into deep sleep shortly after screen off while plugged into the stock wall charger. data/apps are the same b/n builds since i flashed 0607 over my 0604 setup with just cache/dalvik wipes. cool deal :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
twa,

It seems that the touch screen sensitivity on this build is a bit off for me. I use Go Launcher HD with just 3 screens and when doing a swipe from the top to toggle status bar when on my home screen, most times it will not only toggle the status bar but scroll to one of my other screens.

It appears to need a more precise swipe to avoid having this happen. I was previously using 6/4 build and the the swipes were more forgiving. I'm guessing that Hashcode's recent cleanup of the touchscreen drivers may be having an effect on this. It's certainly not a dealbreaker but I figured I'd let you know. Also, I know Hashcode patrols most of the related threads and figured he might be interested in some feedback.

Anyway, that aside, this stuff just keeps getting better and better. Again, many thanks to all of the terrific people doing the dev work here.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Curious as I am :) I quickly installed go launcher hd (never used it before) and tested a few top swipes down.

I didn't change any launcher settings. The swipes worked fine for me - unless I swiped directly over one of the 5 homescreen dots. Then both the home screen changed and the status bar toggled as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Well, thanks for checking and as mentioned, it just seems I have to be more precise with the swipes. Maybe it's just my imagination but I thought with the previous build I could do "sloppy" swipes and it still worked. :p

I could restore my 6/4 nandroid just to check it out again but as I said previously, not a big deal at all. Overall, it's running well with the things that I've checked/tested so far. Keep up the great work.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] tedr108:
One thing I've noticed with the June 7 build is a new process that constantly runs: com.android.phone. Never had that one before. It seems to be unkillable (trying to kill through eFile). I have no idea if this process is good, bad or indifferent. This ROM's performance seems just fine...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Edit: Disregard, wrong ROM...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
Want some EyeCandy?

Okay everyone as promised, here is my EyeCandy theme for Twa_priv lastest rom. You can also install goomanager from the app store and search for Eyecandy and find it from there and download straight to device. Flash in recovery and wipe cache afterwards then reboot. Enjoy!

What is included.

Heavily Themed SystemUI.apk

Heavily Themed framework-res.apk

Themed Gmail- inverted and themed--looks good I think

host file to make tablet for the most part add free.

Goo.im link for EyeCandy theme.

Dont forget to hit your devs thanks button, show your appreciation. Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New build is up.

20120608

Changes:

* Edge swipe configurable distances

* Trebuchet settings UI changes

* Kernel includes hashcode's latest changes from today.

As always, all credits go to hashcode and the sgt7 team (sbradymobile, ...).

Not sure if pimpmaneaton's theme will work flawlessly with this build though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Flashed this from gedeRom...is it just me or is this one appears blury.....as in before, everything was nice and sharp and crisp....now on this rom and kernal, everything is fuzzy and not sharp.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I've tested pretty much all ROMs out there and haven't noticed any difference at all.

Did you do a full wipe?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] speedingcheetah:
yep..full wipe..even sd card...

LOL..I just flashed the 6-7 build..now there is 6-8...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
Yeah guys dont use my theme on this build, I am updating now and should have that up in about an hour. Will also be the last till monday due to I am going out of state tonight.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

Here is an update of my EyeCandy theme for twa-priv 6-8 build. Same as before jsut updated to recent build, no other changes at this time.

Goo.im for 6-8 build
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Nice theme!

Your previous post still points to the 6/7 theme. Hope you don't mind here's the link to your kinde goo.im folder where people can choose whatever version they need: http://goo.im/devs/pimpmaneaton/Kindle
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
Finally got around to trying this Rom. Really like it so far.

Does anyone know the hex code to match the nav icons to the clock? I can get it close touching the circle thing, but not quite.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
I think it's #ff3b5e5b
[Kindle Fire Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Screenshots of this theme? Don't see this theme in the Themes and Apps section...or am i blind?

edit...nevermind..saw they a few pages back

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

I also can't get many of the themes in the Play Store to work...keeps giving Compiler incorrectly errors.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

I have also noticed...the am/pm options for the clock on the status bar wont stay upon reboot.

also, I have had the clock change time zones a few times on me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
sbradymobile from the sgt7 team is watching over this thread ... he just committed a fix for the am/pm statusbar not appearing on a reboot.

As for your theme issue - I frankly haven't tried applying any themes yet, but what theme(s) for example are giving you issues?

Never had an issue with a timezone change.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] speedingcheetah:
The cobalt themes from the market...in particular...tried a few others that said they are for AOKP/CM9..cant remember which ones they were...but still got the compiled error and no change upon rebooting a few times...etc...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
Many of the themes in the market are made mainly for hdpi and xhpdi devices. I have seen a few that say they work for mdpi but don't recall the names.

Launched from one mean machine hopped up on some AOKP!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
Here is how the theme looks for the most part. I even have a rom on this forum but just haven't done screenshots yet cause when I got rom up and rom I went on vacation right after wards. Will be getting something up for the kindle community real soon. Keep in mind eye candy theme has come quite a ways since these screen shots.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Theme looks great...but one issue...not sure if its a rom issue or not..but the lock screen..the left app defaults to camera..I changed it in the rom settings, but it reverts back to camera upon reboot. Camera is useless on a KF.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tedr108:
Did you remember to do a Save after changing the left app in the Lock Screen Settings? The Save is up top.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Oops...:o

Nevermind...

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

DSP Manager only works via the "Phone Speaker" option for both the headphone jack and the built in speaker....a bit annoying as I have it set for lots of bass for headphone use...then unplug and use built in speaker for what ever and its distorted due to the dsp manager settings....have to keep adjusting it..not a big deal though, at least it improves the sound quality tremendously compared to stock sound...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Any chance you can get this theme running on the simple Rom? It also has the SGT7 options.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Edit: Ignore.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
I flashed the theme over the simple Rom and it works fine: )
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Edit: Ignore my post above. Of course pimpmaneaton's theme works because simple is using this rom's framework & settings.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
The 6-7 simple build and 6-8 theme version.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New 20120611 build is up. Nothing major - latest CM9 changes merged into SGT7 base, new CID bootanimation.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Hi twa,

Did the am/pm fix make it into the new build? Also, do you know if the Eye Candy theme for 6/8 will still work? Thanks for the new build.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] speedingcheetah:
The am/pm seems to stick now.

EDIT: I wouldn't use the 6/8 theme...as that would overwrite the new framework etc...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Yep, found that out! Flashing the theme resulted in bootloops for me. Restored my nandroid backup, really like the theme, so I'll wait for it to be updated.

Is it possible to install the Gapps zip with just TWRP? or do you have to use clockwork to mount the zip?

also my computer doesn't recognize the kindle in usb mass storage mode now, unless im in recovery and i 'mount usb' using twrp.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
You need to install gapps in TWRP recovery. Don't use CWM recovery until some issues are ironed out.

Enable usb storage:

Settings -> Storage -> Click on 3 dots in upper right hand corner -> USB connection -> check mass storage

20120613 - Linaro

Since it seems "Linaro" is the new buzzword in the android world, here's a new build:

20120613

* CM9/SGT7 build using the linaro 4.7.1 toolchain.

* Cherry-Pick: build/core: Enable more optimizations

* Cherry-Pick: bootanimation: performance enhancements

* Changed device config from mdpi to hdpi (thanks sbrady).

I haven't noticed any performance improvements though - but on the other hand I also haven't noticed any new issues either (Netflix still works for example).

Let me know if you have any issues - since building using linaro might introduce new bugs.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serx7:
awesome news twa, glad i still haven't gone to sleep yet :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The device config change from mdpi to hdpi might have an impact on themes and theme compatibility - maybe worth testing ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Same issue has the geferom...MX Player won't work....gives error unsupported device or component files corrupted.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Crap ... you're right, mx player doesn't work. BS player still does for some reason.

Would have been too easy if there were no issues with linaro (assuming linaro is the root cause) ... I'll see if I can figure out what the issue is.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
BSPlayer works because (I think) it bundles it's own HWA engine which is different than Android's one that MX (and some others video players) use.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vbdss:
Try youtube HD, maybe if it fails, it is something to do with hwa

Firing from Kindle
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
That all works (for me at least): Youtupe hd videos, BS Player HD HWA

MX Player failes to load because of an UnsatisfiedLinkError - testing a fix/workaround now...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] speedingcheetah:
I don't suppose there is some app or way of tweaking a setting to adjust screen color tones....just got replacement kindle, the screen on my original one got dead pixcles and back light bleeding....but the screen was a much more of a cool color, and the replacement one is quite warm, yellowish tint....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
You can try this app or a similar one. LINK

If the pixels were dead you can use one of those youtube videos search "Dead Pixel Fixer" and you should find a video with many flashing colors. That helped me when my Galaxy Player had some dead pixels.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Does the change from mdpi to hdpi mean that themes from the play store should now work, did anyone try it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New build is up (same filename/url). This should fix the MX Player issue.

20120613 - Linaro
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
I think u should add some battery mod in next version
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Sorry, not going to make changes like that - I want to keep the custom changes to a minimum.

Use pimpmaneaton's rom if you want it themed and other extra stuff.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
I like that you keep the custom stuff to a minimum but have we seen the last of pimpmaneaton's eye candy theme on your rom, now that has his own rom?

Thanks,

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
As far as I know pimpmaneaton used my build as a base, themed it and added some extra stuff.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Yeah, I believe you're right. No disrespect to pimpmaneaton, I'm just not sure I want the extra stuff. :D I guess I'll take a look. Thanks.

@twa_priv

Check out my github; I added a kernel level touch filter and FireParts (shows up as Advanced category in Settings) in the device repo with the configuration option. Needs some testing but it seems to have gotten rid of 99% of the move events that were occurring on every down event.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks Scott, It's actually already included in my latest build (without your last changes) but I haven't added it to the changelog because I wasn't sure if you were finished with it or not.

If my current build goes well (full linaro build kernel + platform) I'll quickly merge in your latest changes and kick off another one.

Even without your changes from today I noticed that the Tapatalk touch issue went pretty much away even with Capture Touch events enabled (which caused issues before). I needed to set the touchscreen mode to highest level.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sbradymobile:
Cool, the latest update does away with the lower settings anyway and stops filtering after two successful move events (after testing this seemed to be where the problem was) so the precision is not lowered in games like Angry Birds.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New build is up:

20120614 - Linaro

* Kernel level touch filter and FireParts (shows up as Advanced category in Settings, thanks to sbradymobile)

@twa_priv

on your ROM "OTG host" works?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Just a small note; I don't seem to be able to download the latest build via my kindle since moving to dev-host, I'm a little curious if I'm the only one?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
Yes me too. D-h.st has some problem in few days ago
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
I d/l fine from my kindle about an hour ago.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I'm going to put a copy of the zip back on my github download area when I get home.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Interesting, seems eventually it downloaded just took over 15 minutes to init Oo

Meh, hosting isn't directly rom related anyway I was just curious if it was just me.

Edit: Looks like Twa was writing at the same time as me....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bensabin:
Thank you for your great rom, I really enjoy it every days.

I just noticed a little bug.

When I scroll left the volume controller to minimum and mute sound, it is impossible to unmute it.

The only way to unmute volume is restart the KF or kill com.android.systemui process.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Try this:

Go to Settings - System - Power Widget - Widget Buttons, then click on Sound modes and select only Silent and Sound. Then this shouldn't happen anymore.

I was able to reproduce your issue once - but can't remeber the exact steps I did and for some reason I can't reproduce it anymore, even with vibrate as one of the power widget options.

BTW: What build are you on?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bensabin:
Thank you for your help.

I just tried it and didn't solve the issue.

The sound keep going to vibrate mode when I put the sound to minimum and it's still imposible to unmute it.

To reproduce this issue, I open combined bar expanded, put the sound to minimum (mute is automaticaly check) and I quit the notification drawer. When I come back to combined bar expanded, it is never possible to uncheck mute.

I'm on 20120614 build this issue appeared since 20120611 I think.

Edit: I restored an older build (20120608) and the issue was already present.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks, now I was able to reproduce it. Closing and re-opening the combined bar was what I didn't do. I'll look into it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damiloveu:
I flashed it and the it froze at splash screen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Do you really expect to get any help if you don't give any details what exactly you did (what recovery, what did you wipe, which ROM did come from)?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] old_pocket:
wow!

Comming from gede rom. I am really, really impressed! Everything seem to work here. No crashes, Mx Player works (zattoo). Everything is very smooth! Also like the multiple tweaks! Onlything I can find is some english/german mix in system settings...no problem. Congratulations!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks.

Do you notice any difference in overall performance?

I'm just curious since in the last few days I've played around with various "so-called" build.prop tweaks and different compile options.

But I didn't see any noticeable difference whatever I did. User experience also was the same and Quadrant pretty much showed the same numbers.

Not even using the linaro toolchain made a difference.

I've also played around with gedeROM and Simple/Glaze a little. Didn't notice any difference either.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] old_pocket:
differences in performance

Difficult to say. Personally since I tried min=max=300Mhz without feeling at least too much difference in suprisingly many usage cases I must say that cpu power seems overestimated, at least on the kindle fire hardware. So no. No difference.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serx7:
Originally I thought there was at least a somewhat noticeable UI/responsiveness different b/n this SGT7/Linaro and gede, but after having flashed back and forth b/n them (and letting them build up cache for a bit), I think they are about the same. i later realized that my subjective evaluation of responsiveness was clouded by my sometimes backing out of apps by clicking the back button while other times i'd just switch focus to a different app (or the home screen), so sometimes i thought it was quicker b/c the app was still in RAM while other times i had backed completely out of the app and returning to it later required it to have to be reloaded into RAM.

on the benchmarking: gedeROM (v1.6) posts consistently higher Quadrant and Antutu scores in my testing than any other CM9 ROM i've tested (ran Quadrant like 8-10 times, Antutu maybe 3-4 times). gedeROM pulls off the higher Quadrant scores by generating much higher Memory sub-scores, while all the other subscores are virtually identical to other CM9 ROMs. All the other CM9 ROMs i've tried usually yield Memory subscores in the 1950-2100 range, while gedeROM consistently posts 3400-3500. i don't know what that Memory test actually tests (the briefly flashing sub-test description flashes "throughput"). also, I didn't try Quadrant on gedeROM just prior to gede's inclusion of Linaro, so I don't know if it's ROM specific in general or Linaro in particular, that's allowing gedeROM to post the higher Memory subscores.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yes, I also did a few benchmarks and it seems quadrant shows better results in gedeROM whereas Antutu are pretty much the same.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serx7:
yeah. 4got to clarify that w/ Antutu, gede was only 50 or so higher than others, 3150- 3170ish gede, 3100-3150ish everything else. Pretty much the same statistically.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
sgt7-linaro was actually scored 50 points more in Antuntu :) then gederom 1.6 in my tests, but quadrant was about 150 pts lower. But this might be because gedemis used -O3 as the thumb compiler flags and I used -Os. But this are so small differences which nobody will really notice anyway.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serx7:
yeah it's just benchmarks but sometimes they can be somewhat useful. my best quadrant on SGT7-Linaro was 2875 with most scores in the 2800-2850 range. on gede i was seeing relatively consistent 3150-3190 (highest was 3207).

subjectively the cpu governor seems to make more of a noticeable diff for me, analogous to better throttle response in a car. interactive seems to get apps loaded up from scratch more quickly than ondemand, in my experience (i've done a few timed tests just to help confirm that I'm not imagining things).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
This is my new favorite ROM, but I'm getting periodical browser crashes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
If there's any way you can reproduce the browser crashes let me know the steps (e.g. website). Also a logcat might help.

When I put up the next build (just a fix for the mute issue) I might put up an linaro and a non-linaro build - just to see if the issue is caused by using the linaro toolchain.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New 20120617 build is up.

* Fixes the sound mute bug.

* Kernel: Touchscreen sensitivity fix
