Did dev just update ROM? I noticed a 1.8.0 on goo manager.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] daBayrus:
Attached is a screenshot of a possible bug wherein the clock and the battery status doesn't get updated after some time. This happens on normal and quicknav status bars.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Oathkeeper1212:
I just flashed the 1.8.0 I downloaded and it works so im guessing the dev updated it.

EDIT: Oh! I just noticed its android 4.1.2! :eek:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I had this same thing happen in the past week. Then there was an update to the app, and I cleared the render cache (from the app) and now it seems OK.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Spacko2000:
Whoa! Great update!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 0xD34D:
Yeah I managed to get 4.1.2 merged in last night and fixed an issue with WiFi just before I was about to pass out. I'll get around to updating the OP soon.

FYI, the main change is the inclusion of android 4.1.2 and I have also included the default launcher in addition to Trebuchet. Now that the native launcher supports landscape orientation I figured I'd give you all the option. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] daBayrus:
The One More Clock widget is fine. What I'm referring to is the clock and battery in the navigation/status bar at the bottom where it doesn't get updated as you can see from the difference on the two clocks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wolf45801:
Thanks for the original launcher I actually like it better than trebuchet
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mobiletnerd:
Thanks. One quick question: do I need to reload GApps? I installed 1.8.0, wiped cache, rebooted system and when I try to open Play or Gmail app, they close immediately. Any help appreciated.:(

EDIT: I reloaded Gapps and it seems okay. Thanks anyway!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Oathkeeper1212:
Yes you have to reflash gapps always.

Awesome, I prefer the stock launcher now ^_^ Could you help me out? I'm having a problem with wifi. When I try to download game data for big games like grand theft auto 3 or modern combat 3, wifi turns itself off and on and it stops the download from continuing, any thoughts?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ipaq_101:
Anyone having problems with chrome opening and then crashing?

I tried an older version and that didn't do anything, any work around?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
This has been covered numerous times in this thread and in several other threads. Try a search.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ipaq_101:
I did search and the result said to try Chrome 18.0.1025123, which is exactly what I did and it did not work.

The search also said to try other roms, which is besides the point, I am trying to get chrome to work on this rom.

So if you have any solutions, present them. Otherwise keep your obvious comments to yourself.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
You did a half ass job. How do I know that? Because you only did half of what is required. Try searching again. I have the solution and I've already presented to you how to locate that solution yourself. If you are too lazy to search his thread then I guarantee you'll be too lazy to jump through the hoops required to get it to work.

There is a thread in the Q&A with the steps required to get it working with 18.0.1025123.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Chill guys this isn't the place for this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Seriously though, this is a major negligence. The work-around is inefficient and ugly at best. Most of the times Chrome wants to upgrade or one tries to restore its data it means that one has to *delete* his rom revert to 1.6 and then dirty flash 1.7/1.8.

I called this major negligence because this rom is maybe the best around, even professionally done one might say, and not having a proper work-around for Chrome, Google now and any such app which rely on location is more than a shame.

This rom is like the forbidden fruit for those of us *relying* on chrome, impeccably shaped yet ultimately forbidden to "taste". Going to other roms felt like a major downgrade (whenever I've tried it), staying is a major pain. Honestly I think all other updates that this rom may ever get -as much as I appreciate them, especially given that the dev gives us his work free of charge- are going wasted as long as the white elephant in the room is not addressed...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yuidaoren:
So, I flashed the latest version of this ROM today.

Now it has a restraining order against me. </rimshot>

So, anyway. I gotta say, this is awesomesawse. Thank you so much for maintaining and creating this - it has vastly improved my liking of this here Kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] LivingChampion:
Love this ROM, thank you for updating it again!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
Tried using OTG USB adapter to utilize an optical mouse and the first attempt resulted in a intermittent flash of the mouse. Rebooted tablet and still it was flashing. Re-flashed the ROM and that took care of the flashing but the mouse would only light up and stay on, no cursor or anything. Lit up and stayed on everytime I plugged it in. The mouse must be receiving power to light up. Would a powered USB hub correct this issue? I had the same result on different ROMs too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thejuki:
I think you need a powered hub.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] diba320:
dumb question: how do I switch between trebuchet and default launcher?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thejuki:
Go to settings then apps. Find the launcher you are using (switch to the all apps tab) and then scroll to the clear defaults and tap it. When you press the home button you can choose again and set the other launcher.

TheJuki
[Kindle Fire Android Development] diba320:
THX,

I still prefer trebuchet, has anyone a working version 0.2 somewhere? tried already 2 different ones some time ago on this ROM, no success yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] daBayrus:
Did a clean install, titanium backup wouldn't run saying device is not rooted, although I have allowed it with SuperSU..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Twilla:
Aw. No more theme support, that's unfortunate. Thanks for how long you supported it. This last build seems good enough for daily use anyways!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] johnadelic:
For the past couple versions Google chrome and all the cut the rope games have been force closing. Am one else having this problem?

I have done a full wipe and fresh flash too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
Sigh. Chrome was being discussed the past couple days. There is a work around.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] johnadelic:
Sorry, I most not have searched well enough. Any ideas about the cut the rope games?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
Sorry, I don't have a clue in that one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sin360:
I just flashed 1.8.0 on my kindle and it's running great. I made a OTG cable and if I connect a mouse it works fine, but when I connect a usb stick it doesn't detected . In the USB controller app I have Version number 0.44, sc3 usb host driver not found! and root hub present, USB host mode active. Do I need to have the SC3 host driver in order to use a usb sitck?

Ok I figured out my answer over in the Q&A section. Most of the devices need to have external power as the Kindle does not provide enough.

Thanks for all the hard work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Moaely:
in the default launcher, where do you set up the number of home screens?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nickf914:
Rom is awesome...thank u. Just got the update notice for gapps...can I ask what thebest way to flash this is...thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] meeaaoon:
Hi After flashing this ROM my usb debugging driver doesn't working....

Any one knows about it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yaibakt:
just update to 1.8.0 2 mins ago and it's great. Thank you so much.

Just wonder if there is any way to connect my KF to an adhoc wifi with this ROM? the only advantage of the original ROM over this great ROM is possibility to connect to an adhoc wifi provided by my Nokia phone :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jlshady00:
Go to your settings, wifi tab, top right corner of your screen is three little red dots, click it and you will see "wifi direct" this is ad-hoc.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Spacko2000:
Same problem
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yaibakt:
thank you.

after i click "wifi direct", KF shows "searching device..." in like 5 seconds, and my KF reboots automatically. i tried 3 times with same result :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vess_csm:
Hey man

this is just gr8... i flashed it yesterday and all is good. all i've used has worked gr8. thanks for the efforts :)

the thinkg i'd like to ask - and this is such a minor thing - how to get the screen off animation to work? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jlshady00:
Hmm I'm not sure on that one. I don't have a device to try to connect to but mine doesn't reset when searching for an adhoc network.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] coolblue830:
Can't seem to update goomanager. When I download update in Playstore it'll say something about a mismatch then ask me to uninstall it and reinstall but in the Apps section, it won't let me uninstall Goomanager.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thejuki:
It is a system app. You will need to uninstall the app using an app like Titanium Backup, reboot, and then install Goo Manager from the Play Store.

TheJuki
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knigitz:
Why does Google now open itself when I rotate the screen? Why is the tablet style home button glitchy when accidentally long pressing and then trying to cancel the Google now quick shortcut without launching the Google now shortcut icon?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thejuki:
Just disable Google Now. I do not need it. When it is disabled in the apps section of settings that quick shortcut will not appear again until it is enabled again.

TheJuki
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yaibakt:
well, i did flash this build after factory reset and wiping everything to avoid bugs... but i guess i have to try again this weekend. not sure if that function conflicts to any softwares i installed, so i will try one by one and see...

thanks again :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vess_csm:
Hey guys, just out of curiosity how is your battery life?

Is the device getting less battery life than the stock amazon android+skin ? I can't tell since i just took the kindle from a fiend, rooted and isntalled this ROM immediately

2nd question: is it a good idea to turn on GPU rendering (force use of gpu for 2d drawing) ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
Not sure which app might have caused the problem but I sucessfully booted up the smaller Ubuntu image via the Complete Linux Installer app (latest version) and viewed it with the VNC viewer. Went to exit everything by going back to Terminal Emulator to type "exit" and the device went immediately back to the boot animation. Never had an issue with the other JB ROM but will check further to see if it was the updated Complete Linux Installer app. Anyone else have an issue like this?

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

The battery life is worse with this ROM in regards to severe drainage while it's sleeping. While playing with the UI the ROM itself it seems to be on par "sometimes" with stock ROM, of course heavily affected by usage patterns. The same could be said for any Kindle Fire JB ROM. The best ROM for battery life IMO was the whistlestop CM7.

Not sure about your 2nd question :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spd_rcr:
I can't comment on the gpu rendering, but I did find a substantial battery life improvement after updating to the latest build and going into the settings >> network >> and disabling wifi while in sleep mode (unless plugged in).. Before doing that battery life was significantly reduced.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vess_csm:
thanks for the feedback. Le's hope battery life will be improved :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VaduXa:
Now I have a v1.7.3. I go to TWRP 2.2.2.1, wipe cache & dalvik, chose to install jandycane_otter-v1.8.0_0xD34D.zip.... hangs when on "Verifying partition sizes..."
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wolf45801:
Noticed goo manager said there's an update for the rom
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
So anyone tried this? Does it solve the most visible bugs (tablet mode in most apps, chrome/google now proper support)?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wolf45801:
It wouldn't flash for me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Same here, assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "otter" || getprop ("ro.build.product") == "otter"

Also something about (Status 7)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wolf45801:
Yep Same error here also
[Kindle Fire Android Development] duke69111:
I got a md5sum mismatch when downloaded.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
I use goomanager, first download was bad, second matched. Didn't install, however.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] duke69111:
Yea I use goo manager as well and keep getting the same mismatch error 5 or 6 times.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] diba320:
loaded from goo.im, not installed yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] diba320:
Flashed and works. No theme support any more as announced. Theme in settings still there, but fc's.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jlshady00:
Flashed this morning, loving it! Swype is working as well as my you version bible app! My weather channel widget has done a weird resizing on its own... could be an isolated event but either way I'm thrilled that my favorite Rom has gotten better!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Can you try chrome? Also what about YouTube (still in phone mode?) and WiFi direct?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jlshady00:
I installed chrome from play store (I don't normally use it) works great... you tube I'm not sure, installed but it wasn't a carousel style layout so I'm assuming phone ui? I don't have any services to check the Wi-Fi direct with but it didn't crash when searching... hope this helps
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Yeah it helps, cheers ;)

...we still have phone ui in a dozen of apps but I guess tis ok
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
Chrome is fixed and Swype works. This has everything I need.

Minor bug that's still present, if you drag open then drag closed the nav bar the screen in unresponsive in the area went were the nav bar would have covered. You have to reopen the nav bar and allow it to auto hide to fix. Not a big deal, just an fyi.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Agent358:
Hi. I know that chrome doesn't work but I downloaded dead trigger and it forced closed. Is that another app that doesn't work with jandy cane
[Kindle Fire Android Development] diba320:
Chrome works with the last version!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Agent358:
1.8.0 no it didn't for me. I had to download it on 1.6.0 then dirty flash 1.8.0. But does anyone know how to get dead trigger working
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vess_csm:
guys. I made a back up and now when i restore it the fire just stays at "booting" and nothing happens. any ideas ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] diba320:
I am talking about the version which is on goo.im and not published here yet. Has no version number but 2012-1020.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sin360:
I updated to the latest version from goo installed Chrome and Dead Trigger from the market and they both work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
File name please?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] diba320:
Hey, it is not too diffcult looking in goo.im ...

http://goo.im/devs/0xD34D/otter/jandycane
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sin360:
I got them from the goo .im manager. Here are the file names jandycane_otter-20121020.0xD34D.zip and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Yes, I know. There are 2 folders where they could be downloaded from, hence my question. Common courtesy isn't difficult either.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
Common courtesy would be to look on goo.im for a file added yesterday like the rest of us did.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vess_csm:
Guys. I have a question about this ROM and it's keyboard. How can i get the long press numbers to come up from the top row of the keyboard?

2nd thing is that i can't type in cyrillic in office suites. I can paste cyrillic texts and save, but when i try and change my input method it doesn't change the keyboard. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gunshipmlr00:
I got the new ROM to download as well as the new gapps and all I have to say is wow. This update runs like butter through a hot knife. Thank you so much.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Twilla:
Has anyone gotten Swype working on this ROM? It installs fine for me, but won't come up when I switch. I see other reports of this, but nothing about reasons or solutions.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
Swype works for me now. Are you using the latest vision of the ROM and the latest Swype?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
I did. Me and at least 2 others reported flash failures with the file we got with goomanager. Another person then said his flash was successful. Hence my asking for the file name he used only to now have 2 geniuses who want to advise that I use goomanager because they didn't follow that bit of the thread.

Why did I ask for the file name he used? Because people post whether it works for them yet on goo.im there are 2 folders where they possibly got the file from and nobody really said WHICH file they were flashing.

So, for the second time, I did use common courtesy and looked on goo.im AND used goomanager. None of that matters unless we know WHICH FILE they got from there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wolf45801:
i had the problem with the file i got from goomanager at first then i redownloaded the next day it worked fine
[Kindle Fire Android Development] duke69111:
My problem was the goomanager app was only downloading a 756kb file. I went to the goomanager website and downloaded the file to my computer and then copies to my kindle and it flashed and installed just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] diba320:
And because I am nice I already posted the folder in which you find the one and only file to load and flash, so i'I still do not understand the problem of finding the file. I posted the folder, another one the filename, ..., what do you need more pls?

I do not see a second folder, in the folder above the one I posted are the files with the version numbers, in the other folder the single file ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teobh:
hello guys i download this rom and flash on my kindle fire but got stock on the boot loader anybody know why i try 3 times wipe and flash over and over and nothing can anybody help me ???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wolf45801:
What you using t flash?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soberarmy:
I just got it to work. I had a back up Version 1.3.1.9274 on Titanium Backup restored it and it works now. Nothing else worked for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teobh:
I'm using TWRP V2.3.1.1 and FFF V1.4a olease can u or somebody else help with that ???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Go back to twrp 2.2.2.1 There is an issue with 2.3.1.1 in how it formats a wipe.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Leafy_duk:
I want to try this rom out, but the download continues to get stuck at 56.8 mb downloaded, anyone else having this issue, or am I just going to have to wait till I get out of work. I'm guessing the two most likely issues are the host or my work firewall, which normally doesnt have a problem with any downloads.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vess_csm:
guys, i got 7% less battery after leaving the kindle with wifi off - a period of 8 hours and a half. do you think this is normal? 47% of the usage is from the idle state..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yaibakt:
new feedback about wifi direct:

- while my KF connecting to my home's wifi network, if i tried to connect to wifi direct, the "searching..." appears in about 10 seconds, and KF reboots.

- if i disconnect it from wifi network and change to wifi direct, it doesnt reboot, but it can't see the adhoc wifi either (provided from my Nokia phone), while my laptop can see that adhoc.

i guess this is the kernel's issue, not this rom's. am i right?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jlshady00:
I wasn't able to download it fully while I was at work either, goo manager did fine with the download once I got home however and its working great now! Likely its something to do with network security or firewall.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

I had limited success with my last its Rom, however it wasn't hashcode's latest kernel at the time, it could be the kernel but I just don't know enough about it I guess.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Oathkeeper1212:
I feel like gaming performance isn't as good as AOKP with this ROM, any way to boost it? I prefer to use this ROM because of the true tablet ui but gaming is a very important thing with me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Twilla:
This is the only ROM that even works with themes! (Last build, that is. :( ) Every other recent one just gave me improperly compiled.

Say we wanted to add themes back...is it as easy as installing the theme chooser or super complicated?

Yep, I got it working. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vess_csm:
hey guys are you having having problems with the time not refreshing?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
I've never noticed the time being off.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
I've experienced that on not only Jandycane but other ROMs as well. It never bugged me, I would go in to the Date and Time settings, uncheck automatic network time and select the time and hit set. It only would do it randomly it seemed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vess_csm:
yeah, it is not a constant issue and i go throught it the same way. only difference is that i'm not n automatic time
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Moaely:
I just red that there will be a new Androind version 4.2. Any news on that and will this rom include that build.

Also awesome work so far!!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] StarkCity:
Lol.....don't hold your breath. My guess? 3 months or so. Besides, reading what 4.2 brings to the table doesn't really excite me. Security, A few UI changes, and multi account support are the biggies I believe.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Moaely:
realy 3 months. It took what 5 days from source code to this rom.

Still multi account would be great, because both i and my wife use the tablet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] StarkCity:
Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit....just ripping on Samsung..... Cm10 has multi account ability already. Or profiles, have you tried that?

Sent from my iBeast™

(Don't hate)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Moaely:
ow i seems i misunderstand you before. Yes i know about profiles but i though that you could have multi accounts, like windows users so that each has it's own configs.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vess_csm:
guys does the update n goo manager bring positive changes in battery life? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yaibakt:
battery life's longer on my KF with the latest update on Goo too.
