Does this rom support reboot to recovery from shutdown options? bootloader FFF 1.4A

Edit: never mind.. grew balls an tried! worked fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shahabk818:
I have 2 problems with this Rom:

1. Sometimes when it goes to sleep doesn't turn back on i have to hold the power to reset the device. (Very rare)

2. Sometimes when I'm transferring files from my PC the fire just freezes and automatically disconnects from my pc (it doesn't happen when I mount it from recovery mod

@Twa_priv, someone said you had a new version coming out soon. Is this true? If not what is your recommendation for the most stable build to avoid sleep of death?

Then when you get there sort the columns to have the latest at the top by clicking the "MODIFICATION TIME" column header.

He is by far the most prolific dev here in this (Kindle) area and you can bet there will be an update soon. I suggested the 11/19 build previously based on "my" SOD issues, did you try it? If it caused issues try the 11/17 or 11/12 versions. I can live with a SOD every couple days so I'm sitting tight until it's sorted.

1126-1946 with current gapps has been stable for me. No issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Don`t know why but I haven`t had a single SOD on this Rom ever since it`s inception. I really can`t tell you what makes my Kindle different from the rest of yours:confused::confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 85gallon:
Just updated to the 12-02 build. I hope this stops sod. I have 11-27 was giving me this with sod. I have never had sod issues before that except when transferring files. 11-27 would go to sod every time I would put the Kindle down after a little reading with the kf the app.

Interesting that it was the kf app you mention. It seems, now that I think about it, mine could be related to kf app also. I'll watch for this and report back.

The only SoD I had was on the previous build and that was with hotplug governor. I read tons of books, at home, waiting for the bus, on the bus. 90% if the time my KF is standby with the kindle app open where I turned off power. <shrug>

Currently on 12/02/2012 (newest build) with 1008/300 max/min, ondemand governor, deadline i/o scheduler. Set via NoFrillsCPU.

Thanks. I know the recovery tool is independent of the rom. I just wanted to know if people have had success with this rom since for so long hash warned against using cwm, which is the parent of this recovery tool.

You're lucky. Had another sod this am and I'm on 12-02, default performance settings except I unchecked samepage merging as was recommended previously in this thread.

Totally willing to to send logcat, but its always empty after a sod.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
Used my kf all day off and on and had two sod both when Kindle app was running. Just as I was trying to post this info I had another crash to a blue screen with a flashing white vertical bar on the right side of the screen. I had to reboot. So weird. Don't know how to get a logcat when a reboot is required so this is just anecdotal info.

Fyi, I dual boot with modaco, so i don't have any KF or amazon apps installed in this rom. So at least for me, that can't be the cause of the SODs :(

unequivocally, YES!

the jump from ics to jb is absolutely worth it. not to mention, twa_priv has gone above and beyond in keeping up with all the various sgt7, cm10 and kernel updates. they're incorporated into the rom at a very steady pace. you can't go wrong with this rom.

On 1202 build no SOD so far. :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I might be opening a can of worms by posting this (test) build ... but anyway here it goes:

20121210-1428-Linaro (Alternate download)

Changes

* Kernel: Interactive governor from franciscofranco kernel

* Kernel: Cherry-picked Wheatley, Lazy and Dynamic Interactive CPU governors (credits go to franciscofranco)

Dynamic Interactive: Similar to interactive in 99% but instead this new governor dynamically adapts its own tunables and settings depending on the system load.

Wheatley, Lazy: See http://www.alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/governors-explained

It's probably a good idea to reboot the device when switching governors, especially to avoid possible log spamming with "Error writing to .../boostpulse: No such device" messages.

Nothing else besides the kernel modifications above has changed since the last build - so if you have issues just re-flash the previous 20121202-2156 build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] snowcloud:
As you have mentioned, only kernel have changed in latest build . So can we get only kernel as update.zip for update.

I think there is no need of downloading and flashing the entire ROM.

Or you can provide the "update script" for flashing kernel, so that we can create a kernel update.zip.

Thanks a lot:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hag77:
At a loss here.. Last night did a 5x factory reset/ cache/dalvik/system. Did a fresh install of the 1202 build. Left everything default (Interactive / cfq). Installed zero apps except gsam battery monitor. Disabled all location stuff. Battery still drained from 100% to about 55-60% overnight.. Battery drain was normal when running the stock sw.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
Woo hoo! Just wanna share :) Successfully dual booted! Modaco and this. Now I have redo all my setups and apps. :/

EDIT 2: reformatted partition and reflashed ROM. Seems to have fixed it. YAY :)

EDIT: Darn. Something is not right. The sd card doesn't seem to be partitioned and yet I can boot into both roms. I followed the dual boot instructions to the letter - including formatting I thought - but some (not all) of my files are still present although my apps seem to be available to reinstall on modaco but not this rom.

Anyway, looks like I might need help. Where should I ask? Kindle questions? One or both rom threads? The dual boot thread? (that one is hard to read and doesn't seem to be aimed at helping users or I would have started there. )

[Kindle Fire Android Development] shahabk818:
and how can i do that?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sweeds:
Have had great success with ROM is the past. Came upon a weird occurrence.

If I leave my Kindle to sleep and return later, then I can't turn on the screen. Only fix I've found is a hard reset, plug in KF, and then it boots up. Not sure how reproducible it is - but if it does again is there something I can do to help? Such as a logcat once it's rebooted.

Btw, this is after dirty flash of the latest 20121202-2156 build. I'll clear cache and dalvik and report if it happens again.

That is the SOD, Sleep of Death, that has been discussed in depth for the last few pages.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I think the Kindle app was discussed as a possible candidate causing the SOD.

I never encounter these SODs though so it's hard to debug/comment. I also don't think adb recognizes the device when this is happening, so a logcat or kmsg is not possible.

Maybe explaining exactly what app(s) was/were used before the SOD occurs will help us narrow down the issue (and make it somewhat reproducable and find a pattern).

* What app(s) were used before the SOD

* Was the app closed (back button) before the device went to sleep

* How long was the device in deep sleep / screen off

* What apps are installed on the device (I know - might be a lot...)

* Any non-default (performance) settings

* What ROM version/date

* Any custom tweaks ?

Just some ideas for information to collect....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kdekorte:
twa_priv, for me I never had the SOD problem until the last two builds. I do use the Kindle app, but I have not noticed a regular problem with that app causing any issues. Personally, I think the problem has more to do with the device putting itself to sleep and the power button not being able to bring it out of that sleep. I left my device in the never go to sleep mode and manually turning the screen on and off during the day and I never had an SOD. However, when I let it put it self asleep I seem to run into the SOD more often, but even then it is very random.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
I haave been getting SODs for the last few builds also. I turned my minimum 600 Max 1000 interactive, and still had the problems. I originally had minimum of 300, I thought it might just be freezing at wake due to lack of power (one of my phones had that problem) I just uninstalled the kindle app, I will report back if by some weird chance that is the problem. The screen has been off for as little as 5 minutes and it happened, and it has been off half the day and it has happened

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Menardo:
His do you fix the sod?!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
If your fresh sod dies, you can reseed the lawn come fall or spring...or resod with a mix of soil and sand with starter fertilizer and vermiculate and perlite... water the newly sodded lawn 3 times a day first week, twice second week, once a day third week, then 3 times a eek after that. Heavy long waterings are better than shorter more frequent because it has more of a chance to absorb into the root system.

Good luck fixing your sod!

BTW- try reading the last couple pages or using the search feature before posting.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 85gallon:
Haven't had an SOD issue all day. For ****s and giggles I left the KF app running and just closed the cover. A little while later SOD! I'll try it again. Then try it by backing out of the app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] freestylejunki32:
I have gotten sods many times without ever opening the Kindle app so at least for me I can't imagine that it is the issue. It seems to happen more when not closing all recent apps

Update: I turned my Kindle on around 6:30 tonight to show somebody. Battery was at 70 percent. I opened no apps at all and put it to sleep. Just went to turn it on and the battery was completely dead (10:45pm) so in 4 hrs with no use the battery drained 70 percent. I am using interactive governor with normal cpu settings on the 1202 build
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
It would be good to include the governor each is using as well.

@85gallon, I just did the same thing for the last hour since installing 20121210-1428 with the dynamic interactive / cfq at 1008/300 and no SoD with kindle app running, turned screen off and let it set.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SpudsterZ:
Good info for you to have. Been using your builds for months, but only getting SODs since the November builds. At the same time, also having problems with the Fire spending more time at 300MHz than deep sleep, but like the SODs, it's been irritatingly inconsistent.

Just got a Nexus 10, so not spending as much time with the Fire, but will try to test & pay closer attention.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

FYI, Kindle App is installed, but I (very, very) rarely use it. Have gotten the SODs much more frequently than I use the app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mjones73:
I am getting lock ups with the latest build. My kids regularly use the KF on the open wifi at our local YMCA, three times in a row now when leaving and getting out of wifi range, it hangs with a blank screen and requires the 20 second power button reset followed by being powered back on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
Does this happen when it's already asleep? If so it's the SOD as is being described. If it is actually turning itself off that seems different. I'm not a Dev so I don't know if this matters but it seems that most people describe SOD when the kf goes to sleep while an app is running and then can't wake up. Is it a lack of power thing? Does anyone get it when no apps are running?

Re the Kindle app it makes sense if it has to do with an app being left open because it's likely people would leave a book open more often than other apps.

No Amazon KF app installed on my end, yet still got the SleepOfDeath. So it's not the (only) reason.

Everything running fine. It feels smoother than the previous build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yeah, there's probably not much (if any) difference. It's more of a first test to make sure nothing is broken. Even though I used -O3 compiler flags I'm still using no-strict-aliasing which prevents some optimizations. There's also a bionic change I want to test out...

The disappearing widgets...

I can load both the free and paid versions of Gauge Battery Widget side-by-side and run both together. The paid one doesn't survive the reboot, the free one does. I then installed Android Widgets Pro, which has an addon license. it survives the reboot as both free and after I installed the license. Go figure...

Hope this helps.

Can I flash it right over the nonlinaro build

If I flash it, can I later flash nonlinaro builds over it?

Yes, you can flash linaro / non-linaro builds right on top of each other in any order. Just wipe cache/dalvik. I do that all the time.

This change certainly has an impact on quadrant I/O score - but do you actually notice a difference?

The change has almost no impact on Antutu I/O score btw.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcatt:
I got a marginally better score but not significant enough to count... One thing that intrigues me is that Hashcode said that he's missing the driver from TI still so all the JB ROMs are running without VSync or Triple Buffering, and its already so much smoother than ICS. What kind of improvements can we expect after Hash gets those working?

Hey guys, i have a problem with loud background noise. This is pretty annoying when using headphones at a low volume level.

I had this problem with all roms from twa_priv so far. Some version worse then others but the last one is the worst, so i have to do something against that now to keep using this rom.

You can test it by turning on music an setting the volume to zero. You hear this pretty annoying white noise. It starts immediately when the sound system gets started. You hear nothing in your headphones when no music is playing.

Is there something i can do about this? I read somewhere that the base volume can be changed, maybe twa_priv is doing this and thats the problem?

Thx

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Rev. Voodoo:
Ah hah. I wasn't sure what to call what was happening to my Kindle until now, but apparently I'm getting the SoD now as well. I'm 90% certain it started on the 11/27 build. I can't guarantee it didn't happen one build earlier, but it is fairly recent. I updated to the 12/02 build and still get it. I do have the kindle app installed, but have not opened it since installing the 12/02 build. Seems like the battery is draining crazy fast as well - might be related, but that might also be purely anecdotal - I used to get about 3 days on a charge, now I get a day if I'm lucky, I haven't been scientific in determining when my Kindle was locked up due to SoD, and when it just had a dead battery.

web video problems

since 20121112-0108-Linaro I had problems with playback of videos on youtube app and on flash videos in browsers (chrome, dolphin, opera)

plays no more than 30secs and just stops

did anyone had such problems with video? it is very annoying

I had this problem on 6.2.0 stock ROM too, but they did some miracle and forgot about it on 6.3.0+

(There it had something to do with 802.11b/g/n Wifi type, and had to set the router to only 802.11b type for not having such problems. But because my router has no such option, only the b/g/n option, I could only see the solution on 6.3.0+ update where it accepted the b/g/n type too)

Is it possible to do anything with it? I also found a solution like setting off the "Mobile Network". But when I try to turn it off, it keeps getting back on, so cannot test this solution

Softlocker Free and SODs

All, so I'm pretty new to this on the Kindle Fire though I've put CM on some Android phones. I've run three versions of this image on my KF, 0808, 1127 and 1202. Sod's on both 1127 and 1202. Currently back on 1127 where I was having sods until I installed softlocker free. Now, no sods. I do notice that if it's been a sleep for a while I sometimes need to hit the power button twice but it always wakes up. I did try connecting via adb but that doesn't work. I tried performance and interactive I think and got sods with both.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] evgeny9:
I've been experiencing just the same behavior rather often (on the several last builds): no SODs, but need to press the power button twice for the device to wake up.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] pboggini:
Yea, it's not a big deal, just wanted to let folks know in case it helped with troubleshooting. The first time it happened my mind thought "crap, another sod" but after a second press I was good.

Anyone who's experiencing frequent SOD's - please install today's 20121211-1416 build and see if it makes a difference. This build includes an almost "vanilla" kernel with no changes besides the CRT-off animation fix.
