[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:
after experiments and searching google, here is my new conclusion about this problem:

IT IS a screen problem after all...

"It's due to the short lifetime of the organic compounds used in AMOLED, and it's a universal issue. Every AMOLED on the market suffers from it over time."

so you can change it as many times as you want, it's not worth the trouble.

See at least this page+comments: http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/20/2576059/amoled-burn-in-always-overlooked

this even happens on ipad3, so "don't worry" :D :trollface:

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/ipad-3s-best-feature-is-also-its-worst-enemy-the-retina-display/72334

As a "simple" solution, here is what I did:

- install Screen Filter, and put lightness to as low as you can

- install Button Savior (buy the Pro version for more options)

- keep hidden the Statusbar/Menu as much as you can, for it is the region of the screen the most contrasted, and risk to ghost in the future

- install Rotate Wallpaper, so it changes the walls every 5 min

Always be aware of this AMOLED problem and do not keep contrasting static images for too long on the screen AND use the Burn-in Savior Pro App as much as you can.

Loving It Now and Looking Forward To The Update

Installed two days ago, running pretty close to flawlessly for me. Nice job.

Thank you very much, Hyperrunner, and I look forward to the update.

I can't get anything to work in Kindle Fire Utility. For anything I choose it just says "waiting for device" and nothing happens. What's more is that I've uninstalled the drivers numerous times, even restarted my computer and tried on on different computers and reinstalled the drivers with no success. I can only turn off the Kindle Fire or start it up and have it get stuck on the black "Kindle Fire" boot screen. Can't get into anything like download mode or recovery or anything.

Any ideas???

It worked!! Thanks a bunch. I thought I had a bricked kindle... thanks a bunch!

Recognize as tablet

Great rom and runs extremely fast! Quick question - i see a mod to make it recognize as a phone but how can i get it to recognize as a tablet? i know there were posts about this before but the solution was to get it to be recognized as a phone. the reason i ask is because some of the apps i'd purchased earlier are only for tablet and i'd like to be able to install those. in addition one app for example USA Today can't be downloaded because it says it's incompatible with this device? thanks for an awesome ROM!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
It is already in tablet mode. Are you using the latest release because that fixed many compatibility issues

P.S. - Done with black boot animation, going to add it as an option in aroma next release.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gootard:
Yep have the 6/16 release. I know in info it says Galaxy Nexus. I can download most apps but for example can't download USA Today or fruit ninja THD tablet version.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
Fruit Nija THD is for tegra devices not for any tablet. Not sure about USA Today.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gootard:
Thanks for the quick reply. It's not a big deal. I just downloaded it through the Amazon app store!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
I had an issue last night trying to buy a couple of the games on sale (GTA 3 and Mass Effect Infiltrator). Clearing cache and data didn't help. I ended up flashing the latest gapps package, and that cleared up my issue. Hope it helps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
Update

I know there might be some problems with the rom right now and the play store. Don't worry i promise to release an update whenever we finish with glazedMods app, trust me it will make it easier to download mods.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
I've been very happy with the ROM. It looks great and works very well. Any issues I've had (which are few) I've generally been able to fix myself without too much trouble (and most have been fairly minor).

So, I'd definitely say great job.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KingPin6:
thanx for this rom, just started using it and loving the smooth operation so far. question about the beats audio mentioned on first page, where do I enable/edit anything related to beats? I see no mention of it anywhere in the rom itself. thanx.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
It's not something you can enable/disable (it's not an app or anything). It's actually baked into the ROM files as system files.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
Update will include options for these kind of things here is a list. All will be done in the beginning in aroma.

Install Google Apps

Enable Beats Audio

Black Glazed ICS Boot Animations

Custom Wallpaper (Trebuchet)

Weather Widget

You will no longer need to go into wipe and wipe one by one. Just flash the rom and click wipe whenever it gives you the option. Just waiting for the touchscreen update for aroma for a release. Glazed Mods is about halfway done we got the background downloader and the ui working. It will pretty much be a web view with some buttons to reboot into recovery or remove the mod. Unfortunately we cant make an option to automatically apply the mod because it breaks something and doesnt let proper services to start. We decided to make it a webview because it would be much easier if we just wanted to add some new tweaks and mods to it.

Update will include updates for many apps such as play store, so you wont have any more problems. Many init.d tweaks with sysctl and other things.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jiiprah:
Sound good. Can't wait. Are updates going to be through the web view?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:
with the June 16th 2012 Glaze ROM, this is the Antutu Benchmark v 2.8.2 what I got.

On stock Amazon KF I had some 4400 points only!

Accordinlgy to this page, it is even better than Linaro!

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

Another bug I discovered is that it says the system has a screen of 600x976pix instead of 600x1024 that KF really has, as shown in Antutu Benchmark 2.8.2 / (i)/Sistem info/Screen resolution

Because of that, some games/apps are not filling the screen when in fullscreen, keeping a black bar on the bottom. I suppose because these apps are adjusting themeselves to the "system info" they find about the screen resolution?

For example the "Bubble Maniac" game has a black bat on the top, and the top buttons cannot be clicked unless you click some 30pix higher than the actual button is displayed.

Could do anything with this bug?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Could be because they subtract the space used up by the status bar.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:
you mean it's the apps' fault? it is possible,

anyway it would be great to have it solved, if there's some simple trick to do that, but if not it's still not that big of a deal

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

could you give me a clue where to take the gapps package from?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Use the gapps 20120429 here: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#20120317

[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:
thanks, and how do you install the downloaded zip? can you use TWRP? any davlik/cache need to be deleted, or not?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
You flash the zip in TWRP like you do the ROM. Wiping both caches is usually a good idea.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
+1 Agreed, wiping both caches is generally a very good thing to do when flashing most zipfile installs, especially roms and market (Play Store). Still can't get used to saying Play Store. :D

EDIT: Also a good idea to make or have a current nandroid backup before flashing. Just in case something doesn't turn out as you expected, it's an easy recovery.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Benignoid:
The screen space is too small as shown on the screenshot. Any way of fixing this?? Its pretty annoying..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Use Apex launcher. You can go into launcher general settings ,uncheck automatic grid and increase grid size, also remove margins or change to small.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FroyoShark:
Overclocking and V6 Supercharger help quite a bit.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:
good!

I also did these 2 'improvements', after your comment, though it took me some 1.5 hrs to get what those magic words you said meant, thanks to google, lol

what I noticed -- no improvements after adding V6 Supercharger, even worse, it dropped some 50 pts, to 5120 in Antutu, but after overclocking from the ROM system setting, it hit 5804! That's a 25+% performance improvement to the stock KF Amazon ROM! :cowboy:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MizzouBrent:
How well is the kindle supposed to sleep while it's not in use? If I leave my wifi off and screen off, I will still drop maybe 4 or 5 percent over like 6 or 7 hours. With my Evo, I have a very similar setup (more apps than on my kindle actually) and it sleeps like a baby. It would go at least 6 or 7 hours before dropping a single percent even with wifi enabled. I don't have any rogue apps running really, it this just what's to be expected with ICS on the KF?

Loving the ROM by the way. Performance is great and the animations make it especially cool.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:
This is why I installed this ROM, as it had no negative feedback about battery drain.

Actually this was the thing stopping me from installing any custom ROM on KF, as I read more posts about battery issues.

With this ROM, I haven't noticed any differences while in sleep mode, compared to stock ROM. I had some 5-6% in 10 hours, and now its maybe 5-7%, I wouldn't it's say noticeable.

The only thing with this ROM is that the power button is green/red while charging, only when wake, while in sleep its sometimes off while charging. It made me think it's not charging, if the button is off, but no, it is charging always. At least this is what I saw. The charging time for me is pretty much the same as on the stock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] googlelover:
@mizzou all ics roms will be a little rocky on battery life, the kernel is still in development and battery optimizations are one of the last things their going to look into, its just not that important to the base functionality of the KF, so just be patient and remember your using software that isnt complete.

@roro the charging driver in the kernel isn't complete, so the charging light being iffy is a kernel issue not a ROM issue
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Astrobrewer:
I've been using this ROM for about a week now and it's great! Runs very smoothly, no issues or glitches that I've noticed. Great work! Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MizzouBrent:
Cool thats kind of what I was hoping to hear. I have more that enough juice to get me through the day.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
Yes it does

Guys i just released Glazed Mods go check it out in the threads section. I will include it in the next Glazed ICS update.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cesium:
I've been having problems when transferring a movie onto the kindle. After 10 min or so, my PC says it can no longer connect to the kindle. And the kindle is then frozen; only way I can get it to respond is by hard resetting it (i.e. turning it off and then back on).

I did a clean wipe and installed nothing funny, just some apps like angry birds and what not. It's pretty close to stock as this is for my mom.

Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
Ive had that problem to, what i recommend is not transfering big files over a GB if you are reboot into recovery and click mount, then copy it from there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cesium:
Yeah it's a 2GB movie. Thanks for the tip, I'll try that.

EDIT: Oh nice, transfer is quite a bit faster in recovery as well. About 2.25MB versus 1MB/s. Still slow, but not as painfully so :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bennettg:
I can see ad hoc networks but they will not connect. Is there something I need to do other than choose connect? There isn't any password or encryption needed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 7abib0:

This ROM can connect with some of ad-hoc network (phone hotspot). NRGZ28 managed to make ad-hoc network (windows) work with his ROM (Energy).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
Thanks for the update ill see what i can find and implement it into this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bennettg:
I tried with android hotspot and Ubuntu. Neither worked. As soon as I hit connect, the network name said "saved"

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
I will post a update in about 30 minutes and you can flash that and let me know if it is working. I switched the wpa_supplicant with the one in energy lets see what results we get.

You have to patch your services.jar for V6 to work properly with ICS

Did you try the fix-mac.sh?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jiiprah:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
You have to wipe data on the latest release because of the new wifi module.

I haven't, where do I find it?

Added update Feature, You can now update from your device by going into Glazed Mods, and looking at updates. Ohhh...niccceee
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gootard:
I see the new rom has 2 launchers. I liked trebuchet because it automatically adjusted the grid size which worked well with beautiful widgets home screen clock in portrait and landscape mode. That option is not there in Apex. Anyway to get to Trebuchet launcher settings? In settings->launcher only apex is there. Anyway to backup trebuchet settings? Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cswroe:
While issuing trebuchet, go to app drawer, then press on top right corner of screen (three dots). Trebuchet settings are there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gootard:
Thanks, I should've seen that. I wish Apex would put the auto-grid size back in there. Is there any way to update Apex. The rom comes with 1.2.2 and there's an updated version out but the update install keeps failing saying: "An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed."

Yep..use root explorer or something similar and delete the apex API form your /system. Reboot and install apex from the market.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
I realize there is a updated version of apex, its my fault for the error because i installed it to system apps and made it unremovable. Ill try to see what i can do. If you cant see trebuchet settings and you have trebuchet as default. Go to settings clear apex default then set trebuchet as default, now reboot and you should see the settings in the settings app.

My bad of gmail still being there, whenever i merged the latest google apps i forgot to remove gmail.

P.S. - Keep an eye out for an update through glazed mods, i will always release an update 1 day early on that app. :D

Also does anyone have a free direct link download service im looking to replace minus since it gives users to many problems.

I figured out a way to add videos to glazed mods, keep an eye out for a new mod with a video :)

You could try devhost or cx for file hosting/sharing.

Apex, Trebuchet and ADW Launcher

Hyperrunner, I am an ADW Launcher fan from way back and while I of course understand why Trebuchet needs to be included, I always remove Apex as soon I can. You are certainly not the first developer to include both Trebuchet and Apex in the ROM, but to me, Apex (or Go or any other launcher not of my choosing) is just bloat.

That might be a minority opinion, but why not provide a basic launcher only, and let users choose?

Thnaks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
Yeah it was my fault i made a mistake and installed apex to the system which made it unremovable. I will fix this in the next rom and make apex removable so if you dont need it you can just uninstall.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TexasRules777:
Wow hyper the glazed mods are spot on! Other than the problem getting the zip to show up to download ( and that seems to be a web server issue not your app) it is super professional looking! I've taken two of my friends virgin kindles and put this rom on them and they were blown away with how smooth it is and all of the customization available. Just a question though, is beats audio still included? I thought I read that you were going to add it to glazed mods but I don't see it there but I'm hoping you're going to keep it as an option. It really does make a difference.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
Thanks for your support. Thanks for the reminder i completely forgot about beats audio in glazed mods, currently glazed ics does have beats audio installed but in a future update i will remove it and add it to glazed mods, so if you want it you can easily install it.

Just a quick update on future updates for this rom. I don't think im going to be able to provide updates as fast as i was before, the reason being is that my computer is starting to fail on me (It gave me 8+ years, it had its run). So until i sort out the issues and get a new computer im going to slow down updates because my computer isnt running as fast as its supposed to be going. You know random shutdowns and whatnot. Sorry guys for the inconvinience.

Upgraded today from CM7, loving it. Probably end up using Go Launcher as I have in the past but, other than that, I don't see much I need to change. Great job!

Oh, except I don't have a GNex, lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MizzouBrent:
I did a cache/dalvik wipe before upgrading and it borked my wifi. Full wipe fixed it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I have had stable wifi with Glazed. There are some other ROMs, actually their previous versions, which were poor wifi. But all of the ones I have tried since earlu June have been good. Try a reset on the router and see if it is "confused."
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
OK, so my morning coffee hasn't kicked in yet. To use GlazedMods, do we have to sign up for a Minus account at the moment?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zyxxeil:
No, just wipe cache and data from the glazed mods app and reboot then go back into it and retry using it, that seems to be a problem with the hosting service we are using.

Wifi problems are random with different types of routers, ever since i added ad-hoc support to it. Like my linksys router will work good with no problems but my belkin network will drop once in a while, it all depends on how good the router is and how much bandwidth it can support at a time. Other than that i have had no issues connecting to my windows ad-hoc or android's phone wifi network.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
Thanks. That didn't seem to work for me. Stopped the app, cleared cache and data for it, and rebooted. Still asking for me to sign in to minus after I select to enable a mod (in this case, the Circle Battery mod). I did a full wipe (factory, caches, system) before installing the current Glazed. Any other suggestions? I'll probably do a reboot and wipe caches and fix permissions in TWRP, just to see if it helps. Everything else seems to be working fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hrbib21:
Getting terrible battery life. Lost 25% over 7 hours just sitting there. Battery shows "browser", which I assume is the stock browser, as using the most battery.
