Live Streaming

I noticed that live streaming is choppy on this ROM, worked fine on Energy ROM. I was streaming from www. livestream .com. Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New 20120602 version is up in the first post. See second post for the changelog.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
I must say this is a very good rom. Installed on my wife's kindle after I applied my eye candy theme. Very smooth, awesome features, and just straight up cool. Got in touch with the creator I believe of sgt7 about betting it on Icionia A500. Great work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yeah, as long as CM9 is available for the A500 it should be pretty straightforward to compile it using SGT7's repos.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Installed this over the vanilla rom. Reverted to vanilla, just clearing cache between.

A slew of apps are now asking for access repeatedly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I also switched back and forth a few times without any issues. When exactly does this window popup?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
At screen it was waiting in the notification tray each time.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
I had the same thing happen previously, using the Eye Candy ROM (which I think is based heavily on this one). It didn't do it consistently though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I believe I had the same happen to me some time back once when playing around with hashcode's build.

If this is a one-time incident then I wouldn't worry about it. If it happens frequently that's another story of course.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jessical:
Uhhh, USB under OS X Lion? Been using it for months now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] old_pocket:
issue resolved

Your remark about availability led straight to the solution. The app seems not to work everywhere, even not in europe. Back to germany from some holidays to croatia and zattoo is working again. So, it is not a rom issue, but the fault of the app giving bad error messages like "zattoo was closed" without explanation... Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
This ROM is awesome. No issues so far and it's as fast as the other releases for me.

The only problem I am having is that certain apps in Play, such as Microsoft's My Xbox LIVE and the paid version of Astro say my device isn't compatible.

Is there any way to fix that?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jessical:
My Xbox LIVE is not optimized for tablets yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
So in other words you did notice a difference after I added the "tweaks"? If so then that's great...

Regarding play store compatibility - you could try to modify the following line in build.prop:

Change

ro.product.model=Amazon Kindle Fire

To

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus

and see if that makes a difference.

There are also three other props which might have an effect (but I would start with above and test)

Change

ro.product.brand=Android

ro.build.description=cm_otter-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76L eng.twagner.20120708.133606 test-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=Android/cm_otter/otter:4.0.4/IMM76L/eng.twagner.20120708.133606:userdebug/test-keys

To

ro.product.brand=google

ro.build.description=mysid-user 4.0.2 ICL53F 235179 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=google/mysid/toro:4.0.2/ICL53F/235179:user/release-keys

The easiest way (for me) to do that is using adb as follows:

adb pull /system/build.prop

Now make the changes .... and then

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop

adb shell mount -o ro,remount /system

adb shell reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
I didn't notice any difference on the benchmark, but it now seems like a virtually flawless ROM form my standpoint. Excellent work!

I used the BuildProp Editor and changed the model to Galaxy Nexus and it messed up the orientation and touchscreen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I had another reboot today when trying to access USB storage.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Well ... I wish I could do something about it. But since it doesn't happen to me I can't...

Is there any pattern which would help me to reproduce? Like what apps were you using before it happens (or anything else you think might be useful).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I've tried reproducing it and I can't, I'll see what I can figure out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ens04:
is there a known bugs list or a not working yet list for this ROM?

I currently have the stock ROM but would like to know what does not work before I flash it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Everything works great, you have nothing to worry about.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nxd:
Just wanted to say, I've been using this as my daily driver for over a week now. It's really a great ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
I've had the reboot on rare occasions over all of the builds and it seems tied to uninstalling or force closing of apps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xari228:
I haven't had my KF

reboot

after plugging in my USB cable and selecting "Turn on USB Storage", but I

have

(on previous builds) selected "Turn on USB Storage" and had the device become non-responsive for 5-10 seconds. Then the screen flashes (blacks out for a moment) and goes back to giving me the option to "Turn on USB Storage".

At that point, when I select "Turn on USB Storage" (my second try), it'll work just fine.

I haven't had it happen so far on the current build (0708), but this did happen to me several times on builds 0626 and 0703--my apologies for not reporting it then.

I can't think of anything in particular that I was doing prior to plugging in the USB cable, but I'll try to pay attention to that in the future (in case it happens again) so I can let you know about it.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ens04:
I just installed this ROM but as soon as I connect my USB to transfer over some files, I click on "Turn on USB storage" and nothing happens.

How can I fix this?

Edit: Also once I connect the Kindle to my chargerit doesnt say that it is charging but the light is orange (so I think its charging?)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Settings -> Storage -> Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner -> USB computer connection -> Make sure mass storage is checked.

If it is (should be checked by default) then it might be a driver issue. Read post #2 of this thread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
What a difference some mount options can make in regards to I/O ... (in terms of benchmarks at least). I'll probably include this in the next update.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serx7:
i wonder if that's how Hellfire gets similarly high i/o subscores. no other CM9 ROM I've tried has generated #s in the mid 8000's for that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New 20120711 Linaro build is up.

Changes:

* Tweak: Different mount options for /data, /cache and /system

We'll see if this change is noticable...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
It there an alternate download? I have a hard time getting them to start from the Dev-Host site.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Alternate download link
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Thanks a lot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I didn't think there's a need for an alternate link because I thought everybody is going to hop on the JellyBean bandwagon :)

I also already downloaded the CM10 sources and once CM is done merging in their stuff in I'm going to kick off a build to see how it goes...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Nice, I look forward to trying it out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Assuming the build completes successfully and boots up it will be vanilla CM10 - all the statusbar/combined bar/edge swipe stuff will need to wait until the SGT7 folks move to JB.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
I tried a JB build last night that a dev got to work. No wifi and no sound, no screenshot app. Everything else worked that I tried, but I needed full function so back to this one. Came from a dev who left xda and bad mouths it on twitter, but I had to try. Really looking forward to your version, if and when.

This ROM has been on my KF longer than any other, I just see no reason to change, thanks to updates, speed, and stability. Plus your responsiveness to questions is excellent. Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MohamedYousri:
Waiting your JB edition man :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
I got 3906 on Quadrant Standard Edition. This is my first time using it so I have nothing to compare it to. I used AnTuTu previously. That increased ever so slightly over the last build, but I have never seen 6,400's like I did a few builds ago. It seems almost like I got two fluke 6400's and the rest were 6,100's to 6,200's.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yep. The recend mount option change had an big effect on quadrant I/O score (jumped by about 800). It didn't have any effect Antutu though.

I changed the mount options for /cache, /data and /system.

The /data change is the one that affected quadrant - which means quadrant does it's I/O tests on /data - and antutu does not.

The question just is ... is it noticable at all ... :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Anyone tried playing WindUp Knight? It force closes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Can you post a logcat? Would be interesting to know if it works on a different CM9 rom (e.g. hashcodes's vanilla build).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Here you are.

http://i.minus.com/1342126674/xHk4hz53VMrT2NmfY4cnFA/iGu0GxSY7lvz1.zip
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks. Just tried the game on hashcode's and gedeRom - it fc's on all of them as well.

Edit: WindupKnight is also one of those apps that cause the device to reboot if you uninstall it if you don't reboot inbetween install & uninstall.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nxd:
Jellybean is nice, but I'd rather have a good UI. So I'm back. Hope the integration work goes smoothly for SGT7/CM10.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Me too. I miss the updated Trebuchet that you have in this ROM, twa_priv, and many other touches you have, likely the SGT7 tweaks. I've got an eye on the Jelly Beanery, but it is not quite there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
I can't add comments on Play. It says that the comment has been submitted, but it never shows.

Anybody else having this issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Works for me. Play orders the reviews by "most helpful first" by default. If you haven't done so, click on rate+review, then select newest first. Maybe then it shows up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
I know my review hasn't "taken" because there are zero stars rather than the amount I entered while commenting.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Maybe it takes a bit to process or something.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
My benchmark went up quite a bit in this last build to 6552:-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] generaldizzle:
First of all this rom is fast a hell. Good work finally making the fire really worth the 200 bones. Second.....aww man I cant believe how fast this is
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Wrong yjteaf
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xzjn9p:
twa_priv: CM9 RC2 is out. Are you going to keep updating CM9 builds or focus on CM10? I keep coming back to this rom. It seems just as fast as JB and has working customizations.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I certainly will post new build if:

* Hashcode updates the kernel repo with a significant change

* Any changes are done to the SGT7 codebase

* Any CM9 changes which would make a difference and be noticable

* A major bug is found

But none of these happened since my last build :). Unless you know of a CM9 change that justifies a new build...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Bad timing on my part...

Started off with gedeROM, backed up and went on an obsessive-compulsive ROM frenzy testing various ICS and JB ROMs. Final result: This ROM became my daily-driver rather than gede's and it appears of the 2 or 3 JB ROMs I tested twa_priv's CM10 seemed to be most stable. I would still be testing it except it had the "Location" issue I also saw on the ICS EnergyROM where my radar map app crashes on startup, likely something to do with the Kindle not having a GPS.

The party-pooper for me is all the ICS devs seemingly have quickly moved on to JB and the ICS ROMs are basically as good as they are going to get. Not a bad thing, or a complaint, just bad timing on my part.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

That's the only issue I see with it. Very happy otherwise and testing your JB builds as they release.

Thanks! :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] donalduck0304:
I dunno whether it is Facebook's or ROM Cook's error, but since I installed this ROM, this app run improperly. The feed is updated and shown fully. Only the beginning of new feeds is fine but the rest is not displayed properly.

By the way, this ROM runs fast as hell :) Great work.

P/S: what is the app for weather and time you use in the picture of the first page? I would like to install it. The first screen of my Kindle is boring right now with almost no applications :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
HD Widgets
[Kindle Fire Android Development] donalduck0304:
I haven't experienced with Facebook problem since last night. Imma report whenever I got it again.

Thanks. Imma buy HD Widgets :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] donalduck0304:
One problem is charging. When I charge it, it seems more difficult than previously. Both the orange and the green light are not turned on when pluging in charging as usual. Hence, there's no signal to recognize whether your device is fully-charged or not.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
Is there any hope of seeing some of the new linaro and kernel optimizations for the 3.0 kernel being brought to this rom?

I fully understand the facination that people have with "new and shiny," but some people would rather have the function of this more "mature" development. Also I'd rather avoid the phone/tablet/phablet UI issues until they get sorted out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
All linaro tweaks that are in my CM10 ROM are already included in this one. In fact I ported all tweaks from CM9 to CM10.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] oaba09:
I'm loving this rom but my problem is, I can't seem to get the youtube app to work. Whenever I open the app, it automatically shuts down. Any advice?

Other than this, the room is perfect.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trafford Devil:
Is there any chance of this ROM being updated with the new charging kernel?

I love how stable this ROM is and with the new kernel it would be just perfect.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Once hashcode updates the ics branches of his repos with the updated kernel I'll post a new build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trafford Devil:
Thanks! I'll look forward to it!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trafford Devil:
Is there any way of forcing the Youtube app into tablet UI? I tried to change the dpi but it's already set at 160, which should be enough but I'm just getting the normal Youtube phone UI.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Twa, is a new build with new kernel coming?

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

So sorry missed the above post for some reason... will wait for update
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trafford Devil:
Hi twa_priv, is there any progress on this rom? I'm looking forward to CM9 with the kernel updates.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sidthegreatest:
Why do you even want CM9 now ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trafford Devil:
Because the improvement in speed of jellybean isn't worth all the crashes that occur. In CM9 I rarely get crashes, sods, glitches etc. and if I do i know exactly why it's happened. Besides as I understand it CM9 has already been finalised and officially released while CM10 is still a work in progress. I'd rather get a fully working CM9 and wait it out until CM10 becomes as stable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] firered365:
CM10 is stable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jaegorith:
I'm thankful for twa_priv, hashcode, sbrady and everyone involved in breathing new life into my Kindle Fire.

I'm also thankful to many here who have provided helpful tips along the way (tb, volume in notification, mx player, etc.).

Sent from my Kindle on Fire with Jellybean!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
What's tb?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Titanium Backup?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jaegorith:
Right! Found good apps recommended in the Kindle development forums.

Sent from my Kindle on Fire with Jellybean!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trafford Devil:
If it's stable for you then congratulations, but it isn't for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Not just stable for one person, stable for many, many others.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] G-diddy:
I concur. I've tried multiple jellybean roms. twa's cm10 was my daily driver for about a month and it's a very solid and fairly stable ROM. But I always seem to find a deal breaker in the jellybean roms that starts to bug me. Occasional sod's, soft reboots, unbearably slow Google search, or apps that just won't work. I recently reverted all the way back to gederom 1.55. It just works for me and I have yet to find an incompatible app except Wind Up Knight which I am more than happy to live without. I've never tried twa's cm9 though. This thread makes it sound like it's worth a go. But I'm not entirely convinced that Linaro compiling doesn't cause some of the ROM issues on the Kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trafford Devil:
At this point this rom is the best bet for those looking for an updated cm9. twa regularly updates his roms and as far as I know hasn't abandoned this one yet, hopefully he or hashcode releases an updated cm9 kernel soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bigboij:
wrong thread
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TexasRules777:
Hey twa does this rom have the theme changer installed? I see it in my /system/apps but I'm not seeing an icon in my app drawer.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Settings -> Themes. Is this what you want?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TexasRules777:
Dooh! Completely forgot it was in the settings menu..can't see the forest for the trees sometimes. :-) thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New version is up.

sbradymobile (thanks!) committed a new (experimental at this point) cool Edge swipe navigation feature to the SGT7 code base (see screenshots below).

It works well in my tests - I like the ability to quickly toggle the statusbar by doing a simple swipe.

Note: this is still in experimental stage so there might be some bugs. The only issues I've found so far are:

* swipes were not recognized when playing Temple Run

The bottom swipe has to start from above the status bar (in the "window").

The build can be downloaded from here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sbradymobile:
The bottom swipe has to start from above the status bar (in the "window").
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks. I can't believe I didn't notice that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Had a little trouble with the bottom swipe but once I realized where the sweet spot was, works very well. Very cool addition, thanks.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I find it most useful to quickly toggle the statusbar. I've setup my top swipe action to do this. It works like a charm.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Agreed! I also had the left and right swipe set up for other functions but the swiping interfered with Dropwords, a game I play regularly. So, I just left the top and bottom set for quick status bar toggle.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serx7:
this is exactly what i have the top swipe set to do. makes it behave just like my android smartphone, so now i have quick access to the status bar regardless of where my hands are located on the device.

the left/right swipes sometimes don't get picked up or perhaps conflict when on the home screen (swiping swipes to a side home screen instead of kicking in the configured edge swipe action) or in Dolphin browser (which has built-in left/right edge swipe gestures). i didn't configure the bottom edge swipe since most of the options can be accomplished w/ pre-existing buttons that are already down along the lower edge the screen.

i saw a recent 6/4 commit to toggle the screenshot sound on/off, but i think that went in after the latest build (?) so i guess next build? no biggie. for now i just rename camera_click.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui after flashing new builds.

thanks (twa, sbrady) for your great work on this ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
@twa_priv,

What happened to the Bazinga apk? :eek: I see it's missing in this build, was that placeholder just kind of a goof, or was it supposed to eventually be something? :p

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I took it out for now. As far as I can tell all it did was add a settings entry, which didn't do anything.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I took down today's build because there might be an issue with the recent edge swipe changes. Sorry about that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dudeitsvinced:
This rom looks amazing, i'm pumped to try it. How does it compare to say, gederom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
This ROM is an almost plain CM9 ROM based on the framework and settings SGT7 codebase.

cool additions of the SGT7 codebase:

* status/combined bar is highly customizable

* additional trebuchet settings

* edge swipe navigation (I'm using it to quickly toggle the status bar with a single swipe)

other minor changes:

* removed Camera, DevTools, RomManager, VoiceDialer and TelephonyProvider apks

* enabled the USB mass storage by default

* disabled debugging notify icon on statusbar
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
what's theme r u using?

p/s: and how to use Edge swipe navigation. I've swiped but not works :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
You need to enable it first.

For example: Settings -> System -> Edge swipe navigation -> Top edge swipe -> hide combined status bar.

The simply swipe down from the top of the screen to toggle the statusbar.

Edit: pimpmaneaton is using his own theme. Check the threads he started and you will find it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
Ok thanks. It works :d. About the theme. I cant find in his sign
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Look at his profile and the threads he started.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tedr108:
Really nice, smooth ROM. Thanks, twa_priv...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New 20120607 build is up.

It includes hashcode's latest kernel and device changes.

Let me know if there are any new issues. I haven't noticed any problems yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] serx7:
Not sure if it's new (I didn't notice there was a 6/5 build posted in the OP), but the screen shot tone disable option doesn't seem to take effect until after a reboot.

Initial test: I unchecked the option, backed out of Settings, tested. Screen shot tone (camera_click.ogg) played. Went back into Settings, toggled the option on, then off, backed out of Settings again, tested. Screen shot tone played.

Tried unchecking the option, backed out of Settings, rebooted. Tested. Screen shot tone did not play.

Same thing applies if the option is enabled, takes effect upon reboot.

No biggie, works for me :) Thanks again twa!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
I can just wipe cache and davik cache only?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
If you come form the same rom then yes.
