I actually got a similar issue once today - after some period of sleep I tried to unlock the device and the screen froze. Toggling the power button just showed the screen for a brief moment and then it went dark. After waiting for about 1 min everything went back to normal. Haven't had this since though.

installed using TWRP 2.2.2.1, Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik and installed this ROM along with gapps. What do i need to do to get a clean flash?

Anyone got Hulu+ to work with this ROM? Searched this thread but no solution. I hoped disguising the KF as a Galaxy Nexus would work (see first post), but it didn't when I tried it with the 9-17 build. I hate Hulu+, but my wife would like access to it on any ICS or JB rom.

Does this ROM also have any Flash support built in? If not what did you all use?

I'm currently on the CM9 Energy ROM. Thnx.

I had the same problem with my exchange email account from work.

After I set it up, it looks like its syncing, but never does.

I also tried one of the hacked email apks (that bypass security), but it still doesn't sync.

At one point, I got a message to install a certificate for exchange, but that no certificates were found.

It would be nice to find a fix, but in the meantime I'll just use the webapp.

Just wondered what otg adapter you guys were using for like a thumb drive?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sbradymobile:
Next release will have the regular sized notification icons.

I had a sqlite error that was stopping it from syncing; after clearing the email app data the exchange server was able to sync. If that doesn't work for you feel free to PM a logcat to me.

I love love love this android system, I got only one problem a little one so no big deal.

Using Beautiful widgets on reboot it does not stick. I just get a white box.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
This is a Google bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34880

Workaround: Backup Beautiful Widgets with Titanium Backup (or similar), uninstall it and then restore it using TB. Then the widget will survive a reboot.

Has anyone had issues with MP4 video's with the last few Kernal update? I've used the BSFreeplayer, mVideoPlyaer and MxPlayer. The videos will play (picture) with SW Accel Mode, not HW Accel mode. I can hear the audio but the screen stays black. I had the movie "Bolt" work, but others don't, ie. Battleship, Wrath of the Titan... and they have the same screen size, one will work and other won't. I had these movies playing back in the 8/5/2012 kernal build, I think after that kernal, it stopped working. I'm ready to move on to the latest/greatest, but I like having the ability to watch movies on the kindle. Thanks for all the hard work in getting our kindle to be more useful.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
Do the same thing as twa_priv said above. Back it up and restore it

Thanks for the info now it works great. This is what a kindle should have been from day 1.

I'm using a modified version of hulu+ works just fine I can't test the plus part because I don't yet have an account I will see if I can't hook you up with it sometime it comes with a tibu backup of data as well I don't know the constituents of the data part but I can watch all the free stuff just fine...

No problems at all with MP4 movies, I'm watching Immortals as I type. HW mode works fine with BS Player as well as Dice Player.

Regarding Exchange sync not working with stock email app

Checked logcat... nothing in there related to email or sqlite.

Cleared data but noted there is nothing there. Also tried stopping and starting the email client and the exchange service on the Fire.

Couple of strange things...

Tried it with m.hotmail.com and an Office365 Exchange server. In both cases I was able to enter credentials and the stock email app confirmed them.

When I hit sync on either account it returns immediately. The mail client shows a message "Waiting for sync" and "Your email will arrive soon." and it just keeps waiting.

Tried syncing manually, with automatic push, and with every hour.

Data remains at 0.00B for Data (and USB storage app, USB storage data)

Thoughts, suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
I used to use Handbrake many years ago but for the last couple of years, I use the free & simple program Freemake Video Converter. I just throw my Blu-ray rip into it, choose Android (MP4) and let it do it's thing. I've never had an MP4 that wouldn't work with any of my tablets.

If it's not working for you, most likely it's some sort of codec issue, or maybe the newer JB builds don't like the way Handbrake converted those particular movies. Try converting the movies with something other than HB and see what happens.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
The ROM has really been working great. It's remarkably polished for the short amount of time the JB source has been available.

One weird (and very very minor) issue I've had. I have Asphalt 6 that I bought from the Gameloft site a while back (never could get the play store version to work). The game will install and will start, but I immediately get a message that there was a problem connecting to the internet and maybe it's an unstable connection (don't remember the specific wording). I've wiped data for the app, even uninstalled and reinstalled it, with no luck. I believe it does work if I use Lithiums JB ROM, so I wonder if there's something different and I'm missing it. Like I said, it's a very minor issue.

EDIT: Nevermind. Changing the product model to Galaxy Nexus fixed it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gg_99:
Interesting. I did a full factory reset and wiped cache and davlik (a couple of times) before I tried my first build of this ROM yesterday (20120718) and then did only cache and davlik before updating the ROM this morning to 20120719. Had the status bar issue in both cases. The real impact to me is just not being able to see a battery %, and I also don't think I'm getting my email/calendar notifications either (in the status bar, that is).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
I think TWA said in a previous post that CM hasn't implemented the status bar notifications yet. You'll get a sound, if you have them set, but the icons won't show.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cruel91:
I really cannot get ADB working, though I have my KF installed as "Android Composite ADB Interface"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:
If you're on windows, go to device manager, find "Android Composite ADB Interface" in the list of devices, right click it, uninstall it. Reconnect the Kindle and let windows reinstall the drivers. That should fix it, at least it did for me.

I get status bar email notifications (at least in Tablet mode, not using phone mode). Make sure you don't have Notifications turned off in the combined bar.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vita10gy:
Yes, they're just files. Just make a TWRP folder on your comp somewhere and drag out the whole folder. Not sure on renaming. You can always make two copies, rename one, and see what happens. Worst case you'd just have to jot down a note somewhere separate on what the backups are of.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Very Strange! you must have something else going on with your Kindle. With this rom, any location stuff I've tried now works. That is, Google Now, Google Maps, Google Earth and Rainy Days.

I would definitely do a clean install, wiping cache/dalvik, wiping system and even a factory reset. If I can make another suggestion, after doing a complete wipe, install Hashcode's JB rom from 7/13 first, including the gapps 7/11 package. Once you see it boot ok, go into recovery just wipe cache/dalvik and flash this rom, as well as the gapps 7/11 again. This should definitely work unless your Fire has gremlins.

If you do a complete wipe and have some USER apps that are not easy to get from Play Store, use Titanium Backup to restore them afterward. It is best if you restore as few as possible and not restore the data unless it's a necessity.

As for your question about storing your TWRP backups, I store all my backups on my PC, keeping just the most current on the Fire for easy access. My routine is to keep the 3 most recent "working well'" backups, deleting as necessary on my PC but you can keep 'em all.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
If you want a clean install you need to do a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik and system.

Upgrading from hashcode's JB ROM just by wiping cache/dalvik might cause issues and I would avoid it if you have issues currently.

Renaming TWRP backups works fine. I do that all the time. The most recent TWRP 2.2 version now even allows you to specify a name for your backup.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
I had no issues doing a clean install of Hashcode's rom, then flashing yours over it with just a cache/dalvik wipe. But as always, YMMV. In any case, I believe the OP needs to do a clean install.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] BoulderGeek:
TWA, thank you so much for this compile and release!

I was skeptical, as GedeROM 1.7 has been awesome on my Fire. Out of sheer curiosity I flashed this jelly bean package last night.

It is amazing to be so complete and functional right out of the chute. I wasn't prepared for the speed and fluidity. Thanks for this great contribution!

Posted from a BAMF 'Bolt running Skyraider Zeus.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Right, it might work - but if somebody has issues then it's always a good idea to start over with a clean install to rule out any upgrade issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Type "do a barrel roll" into Google Now :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JimCo06:
LOL, that's funny. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Google Now still crashes after installing gapps-jb-20120717-signed.zip (dalvik + cache wipe only). I tried clearing data of google now with no success.

Maybe it needs a clean install (meaning the upgrade from 7/11 to 7/17 has issues) ... if somebody wants to try it before I get a chance :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Thanks for the several answers about storing TWRP backups on on an NTFS drive.

Also, my Rainy Days issue was after a wipe of everything except the sdcard. Rainy Days doesn't store anything there that I know of, just occurred to me to check. I'll do that then try the latest build and see what happens. I have to admit, up intil the radar app blew up I was thinking I had a JB daily driver already, which is mind-boggling to me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I had that issue.

What I ended up doing, was getting Rom Toolbox Pro and backing up all my apps, as well as the launcher app. Did a total system and factory wipe, and reinstalled the rom with the 7/11 gapps.

GNow works fine now.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
If you want tablet look you will need to go to settings / system / status bar and check tablet status bar and force tablet ui and you should get what your looking for :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fireblend:
Already tried that, as you can see in the screenshot the tablet UI is active, and I already forced the tablet UI. All other applications are fine except the settings. I guess if you're not experiencing it that means my issue will probably go away with a clean install. Guess that's what I'll do.

Edit: Well, for some reason it seems a reset did the job. Odd. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion of using another app for converting. I converted a movie that didn't work with Handbrake, downloaded and install Freemake, selected the convert to option "android" and selected a output format size, this output worked this time

Is anyone else having issues with wifi connecting correctly? Went to bed with it working fine, but today it's connected but gray. I did do a dirty flash of the 9/18 ROM. I was going to do a clean one but i was dumb and deleted the zip lol. Just wondering if there's a way i might be able to fix it. As always thanks in advance and thank you twa and hash for such awesome work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
No problem with wifi so far, but its eating the battery up.

Yesterday at thus time (I had already deleted the oom script,) battery was at about 55% after 9hrs of use. Today its at 34% and dropping. No chance in apps, just dirty flash to 9-18 build.

Anyone else seeing this?

Edit: 45 mins later and down to 27%. Checked a few emails, other than it, its just been sitting there doing nothing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] merwin:
I'm getting random soft reboots of the UI. Lots of them. Even did a complete data/system wipe.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nonchalant rage:
I'm having this problem as well, the wifi almost never works coming back from sleep, i did dirty flash coming from 0917 though. I'll try a clean install and see if it still persists
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JimCo06:
For me, WiFi doesn't reconnect every time when coming out of sleep but it does reconnect about 90% of the time. I did a clean install of 0918.

No Apps?

I am coming from EyeCandy v3.6 and I am not sure what I am doing incorrectly.

I've got twrp v2.2.2.1 installed - the latest I do believe.

When I install this ROM it installs alright but when it starts up there is the home/main screen but no way to get to any of the applications. The only thing accessible when scrolling through the home screens appears to be 'Settings'. How do I get to the apps? I can't start anything - not even Play. :(

I am sure it is something I am doing incorrectly or something I am not aware of. Thanks for your patience and assistance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nonchalant rage:
yeah, you have to go into the launcher settings and turn on the dock and/or all apps button
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rubbateckie:
When I attempt to open up Google search (by clicking the search button on my home screen, by opening google now, or by opening "voice search" in the app drawer) I receive a message "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped."

This is my first time flashing anything on my Kindle though I have flashed roms before on my old HTC hero and my current GS3 so I am reasonably competent in doing this stuff. I made sure to follow the directions in the OP.

I used build: 20120918-0246-Linaro

and GAPPS build: 20120726 from the wiki that is linked to in the OP.

I did attempt going through the instructions again and "wiping" everything and reflashing everything but nothing helped. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve my issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Make sure you update Google Search after installing the ROM & Gapps. If you still encounter FCs then try installing Google Maps and see if that helps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 59ctd:
Perfect! Thanks for the help!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thunder2132:
I'm also getting the wifi error after sleep. I just changed the wifi sleep policies to a longer time-out so that I don't run into it every time I turn off my screen. That being said, I'm happy for the battery savings that come with this specific bug.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] evo_like:
Same problem here!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Guys ... this is a google issue. There's really no reason to post this here.

Also, if someone encounters a single FC - don't post until it's reproducable (and NOT if it's a one time thing), you have a logcat attached and provide exact instructions how to reproduce it.

And for people having wifi reconnect issues - make sure you did a clean install (wipe data/system/dalvik/cache) in case you upgraded from an old-kernel version. If you did that and still have issues I suggest you make a backup and then flash hashcode's latest vanilla build and observe if the issue persists. If it does grab a logcat and ksmg output and post it in hashcode's thread - he's the one who can fix it - not me unfortunately.

Thanks

the google problem is also occurring on my nexus 7.

I also have the WiFi problem when waking up the tablet. in the WiFi settings menu the region code keeps reverting to Europe despite my numerous changes to USA. could that be causing the wifi problem?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The country code gets reverted to Europo for me as well after a reboot - but I don't have any issues. There were two country code related CM commits recently but I don't think they could cause an issue when waking up only. <br>

Installed Maps first because the Play store wouldn't believe I needed an update for Search. That did not fix it. I then went to market.android.com on my PC and sent the Search installation to my Kindle. That fixed the issue. Thanks!

PS - If this was mentioned in this thread earlier, I apologize. I did search :(

Oh and at the moment I do not seem to be having any wifi issues as described above. This may just be random luck but reboots, coming back from sleep, etc do not seem to affect my ability to connect. My wifi always reconnects.

Nope that did't fix it...Just getting a failure when I attempt to talk to it. I can use it manually though just fine. I have maps and all that..Not getting a FC...Just a "Didn't catch that.
