With a clean wipe, i have yet to have fc's or negative battery drain. Ive always wiped caches, restored to factory and wipe the rom in twrp. I notice tons of people with issues i never have. I'm dirty flashing the new build just to see what kind of havoc i can create. I know people say wiping isnt always needed. After around 300 flashes on 4 different devices i beg to differ. Take your time and wipe guys, it's really the only true way to test a build.

I usually flash and then just wipe cache/dalvik, but I'm open to a clean install. The problem is the time spent reinstalling apps and tweaking settings.

If I bought the Pro version of Titanium to backup my apps that I installed from the Play Store, would you recommend restoring "App Only" or "App + Data"?

Should I also backup/restore the Play Store or reflash it?

Are there any system apps/settings that I should backup/restore with TB, such as "Wi-Fi Access Points"?

Currently I'm just using the free version, which allows one backup, and I'm using it to backup SwiftKey 3 (paid version). After flashing a new ROM, the tablet tends to forget that SK is the default keyboard, so restoring it from TB helps.

Thanks for your recommendations.

Just wiping dalvik & cache should be fine usually. I do that all the time without any issues. Last time I did a full wipe was when installing the 20120831-2228 new kernel build because of wifi reconnect issues - and which were fixed by a clean install.

However, if someone encounters weird FCs it's always a good idea to first do a clean install (wipe system/data/dalvik/cache) and then see if the issue persists.

I tapped on your post to reply and say that i assume the battery drain and the extreme heat coming from the lower third of the device are probably related. But as i tapped, the KF shut off. Wouldn't boot back IP, telling me to charge first. Ihad been at 52% before shuttjng off. After 10 mins on the charger, its at 3% now. So a definite battery issue of some sort. Didn't occurred until the 9/13 late build.

Back to an earlier build.

In games I have extreme lag with all linaro builds. So thx for non linaro only sgt7 builds. Thats smooth and fine for me.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Interesting ... can you give me a few examples of such games (free ones ideally).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
I wonder if that's the same issue with Plex. Whenever I try to use Plex, the video plays fine, but afterward the Plex app and entire tablet get very sluggish until a reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] StarkCity:
Here's my opinion. If we are testing new builds, and continue to dirty flash we are not going to have a true point to base our findings from, ruling out anything that had to do with the previous build. As for my comment on negative battery drain, i meant im having a positive experience with this build....it hasnt seen the charger since ive flashed yesterdays build, wifi locked with no sleep, 4 social sites pushing notifications at half hour increments, no rolling screens, no over heating, even in its case. No ui glitches, and no force closes on any of the 30 i use. So, as i always do, i wonder why i see no problems like others, i kinda feel bad....because id like to contribute to this group, in the end there is one diference....the clean wipe. This thing is so stable i let my 10 year old play with it for like 4 hours.....came back to my hand fine with half the battery.... I have the same results with all 5 of my devices all on different builds. I can honestly say ive flashed every rom in the S3, 8.9 tablet, charge, and kindle rom dev sections here....i always do it the same way, and never had a problem that was outta control or that everyone else wasnt experiencng including the dev. Yes it takes longer, its a pain, twa says its cool, i feel you....but we have money in our hands and i dont play. As for titainum back up? I've never used it once. I back my own stuff up, and bring it all back myself using.....wait for it....ROMToolBoxPro.....im gonna hear crap for that but whateve, i use its app manager feature and handle my own back ups from my SD. I bring just the app or app+data if i want. What i do is more work, time consuming and a pain in the ass, but you wont see me here posting about my device not performing. I respect all of your opinions and decisions but im here to learn, contribute and increase the performance of my devices, thats it.

Edit: i have one gapps backed up on all of my sd's.... The good version of 0729....its been the best for all my devices running a jb build. I dont back up individuals because i come new and clean everytime so i know where my bugs come from. I also keep apps that i want to reinstall quickly on my sd that i dont feel like messing with in playstore, so when i come into a build, i go right into sd and start downloading my for sures from there, if they need updating, they do so after they come on board. I share apks back and forth using google drive inbetween all my devices also, even system apks. Some jive, some dont. For example, i pulled my modified lib dsp manager from my 8.9, deleted this one here, replaced, rebooted and its there working like charm now on my kf....

Since no one has really stated this is a bug being worked on, I wanted to find out if I need to file a bug report somewhere.

I'm referring to the various desktop/home screen problems: (changing launchers does not affect these problems)

1) The dock stays on the bottom of screen in landscape mode instead moving to the right of the screen.

-- works properly in vanilla build, but with sgt7, its on the bottom :(

-- on newest build with sgt7/linaro, it's correct unless force tablet ui is selected.

2) The icons for the drawer and menu that are normally in the upper right hand corner are missing.

-- this occurs on the newest build with sgt7/linaro unless force tablet ui is selected, which can't be done BC of bug 1 above.

-- I can't remember if they are missing in other builds, ill have to pay more attention.

If bug reports need to be filed, just let me know where to file them.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eoy4:
in fact this just happened again. I was at 90% and used my kindle heavily for about 45 minutes. The meter still said 90%, but after a reboot it got un-stuck and went down to 68%.

Why does this happen? Is it a known issue as with the lack of "charging" indicator or all the other charging bugs?

Quote from here:

<quote>

I compiled this build from sbrady's private repos and not the "official" sgt7 ones. He hasn't merged his changes yet - maybe because he's not finished with his modifications.

</quote>

Regarding #2 - did you check the "All apps button" option in the laucher settings?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
I don't see a option for that in nova 1.2.2 or 1.3b6. But in trebuchet I do see it and yes it is selected. Those two icons are still missing. I even tried switching between the two different search bars.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] davuong:
I flashed this version and had one thing that : when I set CPU frequency min 300 and max 1008, after screen off and on, it return to min 300 and max 1200 everytime... any advice???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Good find ... also happens on hashcode's build. Must be something device/kernel specific.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] davuong:
so, will it be fixed soon?

Thank you for your great work and rom...

New (test) build is up:

20120915-0351-Linaro

Changes

* Added zram init.d script.

The zram performance options are currently not working - because they require some init.rc changes.

This new init.d provides a workaround and will read the persist.service.zram property (which is set by changing the zram performance options) on startup and set the zram accordingly. That means the settings will go into effect after a reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] old_pocket:
Just to keep you informed: even after a perfect clean install of the 0914 my problems with videos freezing the whole system and crashing the browser are continuing. (I personally never had a critical issue I could solve with a clean wipe by the way).

I did only install a minimal set of apps, so apps should not cause the problems. I will try to see if I have the time to play around with the different roms posted lately, and I will also try if I can do a logcat.

I'm still using an older build (Alien Droid v2) and that isn't an issue but I did just notice that changing the I/O setting to noop doesn't stick.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
I probably missed it, but do most of your test builds use the new or old kernel? The new one really makes a difference for me in standby time (though I guess it might cause issues for others in other areas).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
Thanks. Ill give it a try. My KF doesn't like to leave a record of where its been, maybe loggy can get the better of her...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powerpoint45:
He always uses the latest kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Correct. I'm going to stick with the new kernel ... this is the one hashcode will continue working on nevertheless.

But I will start posting two different builds from now on - a vanilla cm10/sgt7 build without any tweaks/linaro/strict aliasing and a usual linaro strict aliasing build - until we narrow down where the lag issues are.

There might very well be an issue with linaro and/or the code fixes I needed to make in order to compile using strict-aliasing.

It could also be one of the system parameter or oom mods I include in my linaro build (which are not in a vanilla sgt7 build). So if somebody with lag issues wants to help out to narrow down the issue he could simply remove the tweaks from the linaro build and see if the lagging goes away.

The easiest to do that is in adb as follows:

adb root
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb shell rm /system/etc/init.d/02oom
adb shell rm /system/etc/init.d/03mount
adb shell rm /system/etc/init.d/01sysctl
adb shell mount -o ro,remount /system
adb shell reboot

Note, you need to be on 20120912-1856 or later to remove the 02oom script. Older builds will have issues if you do that.

To restore the files simply flash the rom again (no data wipe required).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] drowningchild:
could be nothing, but ive noticed the 'lag' when a lot of i/o is going on, as per diagnosis(essentially 'top' command with a few extras, overlaying the screen) app says with the r/w speeds,high r/w results in 'lag' most of the time. switching or 'tweaking' i/o schedulers does nothing as far as ive seen...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Error writing to /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler. Exception:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

Seems like an easy fix - just a missing permission I need to add to init.rc

@drowningchild: Me not beeing a kernel dev - do you know/think the kernel supports all schedulers so I can safely change the perms?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] drowningchild:
im no kernel dev either ;P i just like to tinker

hmm i just use setcpu or terminal/adb to change it fine... deadline works, cfq is default.

other schedulers (eg SIO,BFQ) are easy adds but changing scheduler(to deadline) i see no difference in the 'lag'

again it could be just me or nothing :silly:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Ok, thanks. I added the permission fix anyway.

There's also this performance option glitch - but I don't think that's a permission issue. I'm thinking it's caused by libpower\power.c device code - which I'm not going to debug/fix :)

I really miss the original tablet mode. Not being able to move the app button to lower right in any orientation forces user to use a dock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I have the apps button in Force Tablet UI mode. You can also choose to open the app drawer with the home and/or back button (launcher settings -> drawer).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
1. For me the dock goes to right as normal when I switch to landscape.

2. This is the main thing I miss as well.

As I mentioned earlier, I only get that specific corner button if I leave the search bar dock choice on. Disable that, and the all apps disappears with it. I have to settle for a dock with normal all apps and much bigger and takes up space.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jaegorith:
Haven't installed this yet. Just wanted to say thanks for a previous build that adds shortcuts on the home screen when a new app is installed. That is really handy and saves me from doing it manually.

All you have to do is go to the play store settings, and go to auto add widget to have it automatically put icons on home screen.

I don't have any browser freezes on the non linaro sg7 build, but I do on the sg7 linaro builds. I am 99% sure linaro is the culprit. I am torn because the sg7 with linaro runs a lot smoother besides the browser freezes. I'm trying your latest rom now and I will see how that goes.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
If you can reproduce the browser freezes at will you could try removing some tweaks as mentioned here. Best would be to remove them one by one though.

If I could reproduce those freezes I would do it myself - but I can't and I have played around on sites causing issues for others...

Thx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
Yep I will keep testing, I wish I could get adb to recognize my kindle. Ever since I put the drivers for my wife's HTC one V on my computer, I can not get my kindle to read. I tried the logcat apps and they show up blank, and terminal logcat closes on its own before I can get any data. Feel free to pm me test builds if you need. I have Ubuntu dual booted, but somehow my sdk install got botched and I haven't had the patience to try again. On Monday I will try to get everything set up again so i can get you proper logs.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks. I'll probably post new builds tomorrow. I might even post a thirt build - a linaro build but without -fstrict-aliasing and without the repos that have the linaro strict aliasing fixes.

I really would like to find the culprit and not give up on Linaro (not only because I've spent tons of hours getting it to work:)).

It might not even be linaro, it might just be a compile options or something similar hard to find - because, for example, I also tested a few builds in ISO C++11 mode (with a bunch of additional Linaro ISO C++11 code fixes). The result was that MX Player started to act up and I tracked it down to the -std=gnu++11 compile option and not the actual code fixes.

It would be great if someone could come up with exact steps so I can reproduce those freezes (and I didn't have any luck so far) - then I'm sure I could narrow down the problem quickly.

Thx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
Usually after a browsing websites with a lot of pictures or embedded video players it will start to lag real bad and freeze. The Washington post is a good example. I will try to get it to freeze now, and remove your init scripts one by one and see if it still happens. I will just use a root explorer to erase them. I will have a full conclusion on Monday when I'm off.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
I tried chrome, then I thought it was flash causing it so i switched to stock browser, and I still had problems so, I tried Firefox, dolphin, and Maxthon. Still had problems. Then hascode updated his build so i tried that and everything went fine. When you did your 3 different builds the other I day, I used those to try and narrow it down. Like I mentioned earlier sg7 linaro had problems. Sg7 non linaro didnt. So far I can't reproduce the problems with your sg7 linaro zram build. Maybe that tweak counters whatever is going on, I will keep testing though.

Using the 09/15 test, Screen flickers on home screen upon long press, screen flashes black between settings screens, search bar divider pops up after exiting drawer, hs often takes too long to load. Glitched the hell out of my icons post-flash.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moktadir:
Also, I'm not using the search bar, but the divider appears as an overlay.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I don't know if you have time and are willing to do it - but a good test would be to try the builds I posted here. If you start with the vanilla build and it's also not working (and you get the same error in ACodec.cpp:771) then I think we can safely say it's a CM / frameworks_av issue.

There was this CM commit on 7/26 - which supposingly should fix a bunch of errors.

Thx

Edit: Just noticed in your log that you were using hashcodes vanilla 20120906 build when you got this error so I guess there's no reason to do any of the above.

Edit2: If you're not my the latest test build I posted a few pages ago - I suggest you try it. There were tons of frameworks/av commits in CM recently - maybe you're lucky and one of them fixed it.

I just checked the 9-15 build.. same issue.

I double checked it on my SGS3 w/ CM10 that I built last week and it works there.

I wager a bet it's the way omap interlaces video. We had that problem w/ the X quite a bit and it took forever to figure out everything w/ the omap to get it working right with the flingers.

I'll pull down the hashcode's repo and see if i can track down the failure point this week. Shouldn't be too bad because I know it works good on your 07-20 build... only 2 months worth of commits to check out ;)
