Random flash

I successfully installed this rom and it works great no crashes or anything until I today. I locked my kindle and it was fine and then I saw the screen flash. Is this a bug or a bad flash. I flashed it with TWRP recovery
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AluminumHaste:
So guess what, I used Kindle Fire Utility to flash TWRP 2.2.2.1 instead of the latest version, then went into recovery, wiped system and caches and installed 4.2.1 and JBGapps and now it's working. Apparently the new recovery doesn't play nice with these zips.

Google Search

Anyone have a fix yet for Google Search? When I try using it, it says "Unfortunately, Google search has stopped."
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pdscoelho:
Hi,

i've just tried using the kindle fire utility for the first time and have now bricked my kindle.

I am stuck with the kindle fire logo on screen. I selected 2. install permanent root with superuser, some

code ran and then my kindle restarted with the logo. My device isn't picking up in my device manager or in

the utility.

what should I do? :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BillyBob2323:
^^This! Thanks man, that worked perfectly. A man can only see spinning triangles for so long before he loses it, lol. Again, thanks :good:.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] erack:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] pdscoelho:
someone, anyone please help me.... :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Don't post this here. You need to make a new post in q&a
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AluminumHaste:
Make sure kindle fire is plugged into the computer. Unplug unnecessary USB devices (mp3, phone, printers etc).

Run the Kindle Fire Utility, select 5) Install latest FireFireFire.

The utility will change screens and download the latest version. It will then sit there saying:

Installing FireFireFire...

***********************************************

* Activating Fastboot (4002) *

***********************************************

Oops... something went wrong.

We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire.

Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.

< waiting for device >

When it says "waiting for device", hold the power button for the kindle down until it turns off. Then press the power button to turn it back on. As it's booting up it may be able to push the update before it gets stuck at logo.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pdscoelho:
I only stay with the waiting for device message. I don't think the PC is seeing the kindle at all.

I don't see any sign of the kindle in the device manager. :(

EDIT: after trying what you suggested on a different USB port FIREFIREFIRE ran, you are a god among men. :)

I'm using TWRP 2.3.1.1 and I wiped everything including my external partition. So after flashing this ROM for the first time and I cant get past the initial boot screen with the triangles.

Any help please.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chewie8han:
Go back to TWRP 2.2.2.1. The newest version is still having problem with wiping. There's a setting that you can supposedly change, but most people are saying not to bother using any 2.3 version yet.

Thanks! Works great now!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] briankb:
Yesterday I went to use my kf, but the screen wouldn't turn on. My first assumption was that the battery had run out. I plugged it in expecting it to turn on, but it did not. After about 20 minutes minutes the power led went from orange to green, which usually indicates the battery is full. The screen still wouldn't turn, so left it alone for a couple days, till the battery ran out. Then I plugged it in again and this time the screen did eventually come on, as the battery had been empty and it was actually off. Are there error logs that I could provide, or is this there some other workaround that you guys use when something like this happens?

I also saw this happen with hashcode's CM10 rom (10/10 build).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I had the same issue. Did everything I could think of... eventually went back to cm9...would love to figure out what was going on
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jacktheskipper:
had this happen to me, too 2-3 times on cm10 ... long (really long!) pressing/holding the power button to reset and then reboot helped me out ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jlshady00:
This happens sometimes with most jb roms. All you have to do is a hard reset but nobody seems to know how. Hold the power button down for about 20-30 seconds, then wait 2 seconds, then push the power button once to turn the kindle back on. I believe this is even in the kindle fire manual but a lot of folks probably don't read it or just flash a custom Rom right away and lose access to it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] theleb:
many thanks from me, just installed coming from an old honey and it works like a charm!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ithinkurdumb:
Just installed it over stock ROM. It's so much stable than a few months ago (duh!). Standby battery drain is also good (~3% overnight) and it charges much faster (5% to full in 6 hours). Great job hashcode!

Although I did notice two issues: Wi-Fi location doesn't work, and some system applications aren't replaced when new one installed from Play Store (such as the new Calendar and Play Music).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nolig2278:
Update: resolved by downloading flash from someone.

Great ROM. Does flash with with this ROM?

Everything is nice and Smooth.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GezaEchs:
Sorry if this has been asked already - I couldn't find the answers.

I'm currently running twa_priv's JB ROM. Can I dirty flash this or should I wipe? If I should wipe, what should I wipe in TWRP?

Also, which gapps should I use with this ROM?

Thanks! I'm hoping this ROM improves battery life and operation running over the ROM I currently run.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] firered365:
1. Wipe.

2. Wipe system, cache, Dalvik, and factory reset.

3. 4.1.2 Gapps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GezaEchs:
Thanks! I assume from the recent posts that I should downgrade TWRP too, eh?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] firered365:
Yes. You need to change TWRP to 2.2.1.1
[Kindle Fire Android Development] King_Stannis:
Any one know how to get rid of the Google search bar that comes with the stock launcher on this ROM? It won't drag and drop like normal widget.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airswoosh1:
It's built into the stock launcher. If you want the stock launcher without the persistent search bar, install a custom launcher like nova.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aegrotatio:
This is a great build. Perhaps I'm missing something from my habitual use of my other Nook Tablet N2A card with its Trebuchet launcher, but on these Kindle Fire builds, how do I access those same Trebuchet settings to turn off the Google Voice search bar on the main screens? Also, how do I quickly access volume and brightness controls? Some builds have a sort of "Tablet Mode" vs. "Phone Mode" setting which I don't see here.

Thanks again for this great build!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] StarkCity:
Been awhile since I was on this build, so I can only tackle your volume question. " volume in notification" in the play store....you'll love it. Not sure if in settings, under system, if there is a persistent search bar toggle, but I recommend using Nova Launcher anyways. Which has that feature, and more.

Might we see an update to 4.2?

ROM works great and thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] King_Stannis:
Okay, one more question with this build. When I hit the power button to turn it off I no longer see the menu to boot into recovery mode to get into TWRP that I saw in my ICS ROM. If I needed to get into TWRP do I hit the power button during the blue kindle fire boot screen?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AluminumHaste:
when you turn on the Kindle keep tapping the power button. when it turns orange it will boot into twrp

"Unfortunately,Mobile Data stopped working" error loop

I have had the ROM working well for almost a week and all of a sudden the above message kept popping repeatedly almost immediately after pressing the OK button. It pretty much made the keyboard useless except I managed somehow to power off the Kindle and go to TWRP recovery. Tried wiping Dalvik cache, cache, and resetting boot in succession but kept getting the error loop. Somehow I managed between OK presses to run Titanium and find Mobile Dara in the app list and uninstall it after wiping the app data did not work. After rebooting and wiping Dalvik, the error loop stopped. Is the ROM stable if the app remains uninstalled? If it is installed and this or another error loop like it happens, is there an easier fix to to stop it save reflashing this or another ROM? Other than this problem, this one has been awesome.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thewonderofsteve:
Great ROM - Great Job Hashcode!

Love this rom - smooth as silk, very few FC's. I had some issues with ANR's popping up and claiming issues with Maps. Uninstalled and resinstalled - fixed. Location service refuses to even think about workingthough - just as above. Wierd rundown issues with the battery that can appear problematic when it refuses to boot up. It's mostly stopped doing that recently though, so I'll chalk that down to a break in issue. This has to be one of the most enjoyable ROMs I've ever installed. Great Work!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] towir022:
Uh oh. I was running cm7 and I downloaded this and flashed it. I don't know if my download was bad or what but it didn't work right. I get to boot animation but it never gets past that. It just stays on boot animation until battery dies. I can get into twrp but the problem is I have no good from in there to flash. The one I downloaded does not work plus I can't even find it. What do I do? Is there any type of Odin thing I could do? Or is there a way to get a rom on the internal SD card so I can flash it from twrp? Any help appreciated
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ortrigger:
Try doing a full wipe (system, cache, dalvik) and reflashing the rom. Then, when you're done, fix permissions. See how that works and if it still won't boot post back.

I have to say, this ROM is phenomenal. I switched from TWA_priv's ROM, which had some great features, and I'm blown away at how Hashcode has improved everything. The battery life is astounding - at least a day of heavy use - and the operation is smooth and highly responsive.

Great work, Hashcode.

Also, make sure to use TWRP 2.1.1.1 as 2.3.x has been problematic with the Fire.

I have twrp v 2.0.0 and no roms on my kindle. How can I push this rom to my internal SD card without having a working rom installed? All I can get into is twrp. Also will my version of twrp work with this rom if I can somehow get the rom on the internal SD card?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
try downloading the rom on your pc. then mounting your device in twrp then pushing the file to your kindle. Then you should be able to flash it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] towir022:
Thanks much tobiascuypers, you just gave me the simple thing that I was overlooking. I was thinking and thinking and thinking and all the while I completely missed the fact that there is a mount button in TWRP. Yes I believe this will totally fix my issues and get me up and running. I am running older twrp V2.0.0 is this ok or do i need the 2.1 or whatever?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] towir022:
OK I keep trying to flash rom from twrp 2.0.0 and it starts installing and then says E: cannot load volume /music! Any help is appreciated

I've read through some of the comments here, but with 80+ pages.....

I have a friend that has a Kindle Fire. He doesn't like it. He is not technically advanced at all (I am and frequently use custom ROMs). My question is is this or the ICS ROM stable enough for a novice to use without going crazy? I would be the one loading it for him, so that isn't an issue.

Is there a ROM that would be better for a novice (he has an iPhone, I have an Android phone and tablet). I just know that when running custom ROMs sometimes things happen that would alarm a novice (thing not working, faults, etc).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
Well, I put this on my 9 year old daughter's kfire. Very low maintenance because typically only gets updated when aosp gets updated. I really don't know of any issues except one. Location services don't work, which doesn't really matter to my daughter. It actually runs great. Basically made a nexus 7 out of a kindle fire.

I am excited about a potential update soon to android 4.2. Maybe location services will work in that one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pnut22r:
Everything is awesome. I have a nexus 7, and with this rom, i cannot tell a difference. Its great. Good work.

Are you able to boot into the system?

If so you may want to try smirkit and reinstall boot loader etc
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wisnoodles:
I don't know what you mean by boot into the system. I can boot up just fine just can't boot into recovery and when I hook up to computer for KFU it says it's offline.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Yeah if you can boot then just go to smirkis' smirkit thread...that should fix your issue..i am pretty sure (someone correct me if im wrong) it let's you reflash FFF directly from your kindle using terminal emulator...go to the thread...

otherwise you can reflash the boot loader using adb fast boot...there are lots of guides to do this (stickied I believe. )
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdiamond7:
You can also try going into Terminal Emulator, type "su" and hit return to gain superuser access. After that type "reboot recovery" and it should reboot you right in.

Location Services

@Hashcode,

Wondering if this would be of any help in getting Location Services working? Seems like a few different rom devs/chefs give credit to Craig Gomez for this fix and he said it should work on all AOSP roms. It says AOKP in his thread but I think that's a typo since his rom is AOSP. Although he's released a 4.2 rom, I would think it should also work on 4.1. Thanks.

Here's Craig Gomez's rom thread fix post:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Sounds great! I really hope that this "fix" will do the trick. As for 4.2, from reading other forums and such, it appears that 4.2 is kinda' buggy right now across all platforms.

Has anyone experienced any issues with Facebook using this ROM or any other 4.0 or greater ROM?? My issues seem to revolve around syncing..for example I may click the Like button for anything and within a couple of seconds my like is undone....I don't get the sync my contacts options when I log in to Facebook and no sync option in the Settings...and it only will load so many posts, maybe 25 or so and won't load anymore.

The only thing that seems to work is flashing the MoDaCo ROM which is based on the original stock 2.3 Kindle Fire....

You should experience a noticeable change if you do. JB is very smooth and bare AOSP is the smoothest JB.

Only drawback is that once you go Jelly Bean, you won't want to go back to non-JB roms.
