I think the bootloops might be related to the number of apps installed - because I see 'out-of-memory' errors when debugging. Did you install from scratch or upgrade from a previous version?

I did a clean install during my tests (didn't install any apps) and haven't had any reboot issues then.

I will probably switch back to the aosp bootanimation on the next build until the CM10 ones are available.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thea mohamed-toorn:
Nice bootanimation.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Meh. I'll probably just make my own. Lol.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eoy4:
Yeah, I don't like the CM animations one bit... Or the mascot for that matter : / I think I'll do a custom anim. I am an animator after all XD

I really like the Nexus 7 bootanim, though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ttakacs:
I installed experimental over your latest build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dadeo1111:
I prefer the nexus animation also and agree that the new cm mascot is lame.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cultofrobots:
I have been able to reboot repeatedly when disabling the bootanimation by creating the file "persist.sys.nobootanimation" in in /data/property and setting it to 1. When I re-enable the bootanimation I'm back to boot loop. Booted into twrp, put persist.sys.nobootanimation back in and rebooted without wiping cache/dalvik cache and I'm able to reboot without issue again. Hopefully this workaround will work for others.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eoy4:
Yay! With latest builds youtube app is back to all its tablet glory! : D As well as settings. I love two-column layouts ^^
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ortrigger:
can't wait to flash the new release. I strayed over to alien droid and it's lack of updates has me itching for cutting edge again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks for the tip.

This should also work:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

echo "persist.sys.nobootanimation=1" >> /system/build.prop

mount -o ro,remount /system

reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lman00:
Did anyone experience any audio problems? Mine have been outputting just noise for a couple of updates now. Sometimes an app crashes and the audio starts working, but reboots resets it.

I didn't do a full wipe. Just putting it out there.

Great work BTW!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loko3:
Did a clean install wiping system and all caches. It has now been stuck on the boot animation for 10-15 minutes. Is that normal?

Can't reboot into TWRP :/ Any suggestions...?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tedr108:
Can't tell by your post, but hope you did Factory Reset and wiped System BEFORE flashing the ROM. Occasionally, users get used to wiping cache and Dalvik cache after installing ROMs, which is OK, but formatting System and Factory Reset (and probably others) must be done before. You should probably make a list of everything you wiped and when, so others can help you fix the issue.

Of course, you could very well have had a bad ROM download. Did you check the md5 sum? If you downloaded form the Goo Manager (Android app), that is not necessary, since it checks the md5 sum automatically.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
6480 from Antutu. Excellent. (No overclock, antivirus running in the background)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loko3:
Thanks, I think I might have forgot to format /system. Didn't find that option. My device is stuck on the boot animation when trying to do a normal boot and I can not get into recovery mode.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tedr108:
Wiping/formatting System is NOT necessary in almost all cases (Factory Reset may do this automatically for all I know) -- nor was it necessary for you. I only brought it up in case you did it.

If you remember, please list exactly what you did (formatting, wiping, flashing, etc) ... also, check that md5 sum on your ROM download.

I have another question about the flash to nexus thing.

I have amazon prime and I just noticed that they have a book borrowing system for people with amazon prime and kindles. If I reflash the latest update without the nexus zip and then dl the kindle app, will I be able to borrow books or do I have to be using the stock rom?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cultofrobots:
From Amazon's help page:

Kindle books can be loaned to another reader for a period of 14 days. The borrower does not need to own a Kindle -- Kindle books can also be read using our free Kindle reading applications for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android devices.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigfoottrucker:
Just loaded the experimental build. Seems snappy, my screen looks clearer. Only hickup is got black screen on boot. I hit power button and non moving boot image came up for a couple seconds, then boot continued to update.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spamolamo:
Books keep disappearing from my Kindle folder @ boot. Can anyone think of a reason why this is? Running experimental right now, happened on 8-18 version as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
For the prime lending you do need to be on stock rom unless a work around was discovered but I haven't seen one
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
Flashed the experimental and loving it so far. This is the butter everyone has been talking about. Virtually no lag switching between apps, even with antivirus and Songza running.

Really like having the app drawer and Nova menus back in the upper right hand corner of the desktop. Psyched to have to column settings app back. Some work on spacing within the settings app will make it waste less space, but its also fine as it is.

I have not run a benchmark bc it doesn't really matter. Its clear this updated hash code is a huge improvement. Ill play around with other things tomorrow, like using a mic to see if it made it in to this version.

Great work putting this all together! Thank you!!!!!

Can't Center Widgets

Great ROM, but bugs in multiuser feature

This is really a great rom

I've played around with the multi-user feature and find it fantastic and a log awaited feature!

But there are a few bugs...

Basic Info:

In settings I've created a second user, switched to that and added a second Google Account (which is not added as account under 'Primary')

Mixed Up User-Handling

If you open the settings from the notification bar is different as the one opened via the app drawer.

The AppDrawer-displayed-Settings is the one I expect for a second user: Only basic possiblities and accounts (the correct one!) are displayed

The Notification-bar-displayed-Settings is the one from 'Primary': I only see those accounts, can add users, change the security...

Notifications

Using the 'Primary Account' I get notified by GMail for mails from this second user (displaying the message content!).

Clicking on this notification opens GMail and popup 'The account seconduser@gmail.com is no valid account'

There are no notifications using the second account, but GMail works fine

If you need more details, log-exctracts etc just contact me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
The multi-user feature is still in early stage of development and it's not recommended to use it ATM, because for exemple removing the primary user could softbrick the device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BizzaBoy:
8/17 build, issues and solutions

First off, thanx for this great ROM. Enjoyed that for quite a while and it did reduce the Nexus 7 envy ;)

missing audio

After upgrading to a new ROM by only cache/dalvik wipe my audio went away. This got fixed by doing a full factory reset, data wipe and essentially fully reinstalling. Kind of bad, because unlike other ROMs (CM10 on DEFY) the applications did not get reinstalled automatically.

kindle application forgetting books on a reboot

I had this yesterday. No idea where that came from, but the steps to fix the missing audio also fixed that issue. I had at the same time also messed around with the Amazon account, so it could be that this "reset" all the downloaded books.

battery drain in deep sleep mode

When I leave the device in deep sleep over night (i.e. not power off), it still drains battery a lot. There is a WiFi option, under "Anavanced Wi-Fi", "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep". I did set that to "Never" and the problem went away. Basically with a 15 minute timeout, it will turn off WiFi during deep sleep and not consume power ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
Can't speak to the second item, but I didn't have the audio problem. I installed the experimental build (so maybe that's a difference) with only wiping caches and fix permissions, and audio works fine for me. For the WiFi thing, it's set to Always by default, so that would likely stop true deep sleep (like you experienced when you changed it).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] merwin:
Anyone else have washed out colors? I tried both hashcode's experimental kernel/rom as well as this one and both look washed out. Red looks kind of maroon, purple looks kind of violet, etc... and the saturation seems off.

I really notice it in a game like Diversion, where it has true green in a lot of places and it looks like light green, and the gems look violet instead of purple.

If you encounter Superuser crashes go to Settings -> Apps -> All, select Superuser and clear data. That fixed it for me.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] jaegorith:
Thanks for the new build! I just flashed it with TWRP 2.2.0. I just ran into my first glitch. Now it's just sitting on the "Wiping Cache & Dalvik" screen at "Formatting /cache...Verifying filesystem..." Been several min., no progress has been made, the progress bar is still animated, and I have no buttons to interact with. Not sure what to do. Will I mess things up if I press the power button? I don't know what other option I have.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I had exactly the same freeze during a dalvik/cache wipe after a flash quite some time ago (also with TWRP 2.2.0). I pressed the power botton until the device shut down and rebooted. All was fine after that. Didn't happen ever since.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jaegorith:
Thank you!! That worked. Love the new boot animation! :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigfoottrucker:
Anybody else get a reboot after uninstalling an app?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eoy4:
I get weird "reboots" after doing some things, like uninstalling apps or enabling USB transfers. Suddenly the boot animation plays and the device restarts. It's not a full reboot, I think... Is that what you're getting?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bdaleypsu:
Thanks for the new ROM!

It's working great, but it says "discharging" when it's charging, and I still can't center widgets on any of the home pages. Large widgets like Fancy Widgets clock/weather look a little funny when they're not centered. I used to be able to center widgets with no problems.

Am I doing something wrong with the widgets?

Thanks.

Could be your grid sizing along with settings that are blocking you from moving the widget off the grid. What launcher are you using?

That is the only time I get reboots is when I uninstall an app. Almost everytime I do too. Been doing that since I got my new kindle over a month ago. Doesn't bother me though. New build is awesome too. Seems faster and smoother. And the new boot animation is badass. Anyone know how I can put it on my s3. I know how to pull it from the rom but would I have to resize it or anything like that?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The reboot only happens with certain apps (games) though. If I'm not mistaken it also only happens if you uninstall the app without rebooting in-between. It might also work if you force stop the app before uninstalling - but I haven't tried that out.

I believe this also happened on CM9 and other ROMs I checked out.

@twa_priv

Although this is remedied by updating su binary in superuser app, could you possibly just update the su binary file in the next build of this rom? Unless Hashcode has to do the updating in his source??? I seem to remember this also in Hashcode's early AOSP JB build. The su binary in your "regular" rom works just fine when I replaced the su in the experimental with it. Busybox seems to be ok. It would make things easier and hopefully avoid a clutter of unnecessary questions in the thread.

Also, don't know if it's been reported but my PC didn't recognize adb with this build, USB storage was fine. I didn't want to mess with my drivers, as it's working perfectly with your regular rom. Thanks again for all your outstanding work.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
You need to re-enable the developer options and android debugging.

As for su ... let's see what the status is once hashcode is done with his changes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
logcat ?

What hulu app are you using - market link would be good.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
If you mean turn on dev options and tick off adb debug, I did that. Still not recognized.

EDIT: Unless it requires a reboot after enabling this??? That, I didn't do.

EDIT2: Just reflashed the experimental, made sure dev options were enabled, ticked android debugging and rebooted just for good measure. Adb still not recognized. Just an fyi, as I realize this build is experimental.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Android debugging needs to be enabled - reboot should not be required.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
See my above edit. Just restored my nandroid with your regular build and adb debug is fine. Thanks.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Even though it's experimental - the only real issue is the bootloop reboot issue - which can be fixed by adding persist.sys.nobootanimation=1 to the build.prop.

adb definitely should work fine - at least i don't have any issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Yeah, don't know why adb didn't work for me. I never got a bootloop, I just removed the bootanim file from the zip before flashing. Additionally, I transferred a nandroid file from my Fire to my PC and it took forever with a rate averaging 2.5mb/sec. Just did that same transfer with your regular rom and the rate averaged approx 24 mb/sec., which is what I'm used to getting. Maybe something in my PC's config is not getting along with something in that build.

Also, would this commit by Hashcode on 8/22 have any relationship to my adb not connecting? Thanks again.

That change didn't even make it in the build because it was committed just a day ago :).

But you could try to reinstall the drivers using the KFU and see if that helps.

I haven't tested usb file transfer speed actually - next time I flash a new kernel build I'll check that.

I know that commit from 8/22 didn't make it in the 8/21 experimental build. :D I just thought that maybe Hashcode possibly added that commit to correct some issue with adb in his source. Anyway, we've spent enough time on this and as I said in my initial post, I don't really want to mess around with my drivers. They are and always have been working with every other build of ICS & JB that I've used or tried. Thanks.
