I haven't messed with 10.1 but I'm pretty sure it s the same way as the first. But there is many ways. You could download a app called root browser. That let's you view and even change files. After you download it you would just open it a find the build properties and open it as a text file with the root browser app. And you just find what you want to change and change it and save. After that you just have to restart your kindle.

Edit: Sorry I read it wrong. Just change it so it thinks the kindle is a nexus. If that doesnt work try reflashing the ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
I always flashed the little "change to nexus" zip before so I never actually edited the file. That zip does not work for 10.1 so I wondered if something is different about the build.prop that I need to be aware of. If not, I think I can manage editing it manually. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trafford Devil:
hi TWA_priv I was wondering if there's anyway you could incorporate the per app DPI settings from paranoid android into this ROM?

Also is there a galaxy tab 2 7.0" build prop available? I'm trying to get the CNN for tablet app to appear on the play store.

The SPD is also where the speed and timing tables are stored in computer RAM. So I was just as confused at first.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loCe45:
I havent had SOD for couple of months, and even then it was caused (afaik) by kindle going to sleep mode while transfering file from PC to Kindle via USB, and that caused the device to freeze. Setting screen-off timer to 15-30mins solved my problem.

I've noticed many people having problems with SOD, and i doubt it's only kernel/ROM related. What applications do you have installed, maybe there's a service in background that causes everyone's problems?

And now the obvious question, have you tried full wipe without installing any of the application you usually install afterwards ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] erad1:
I thought I read somewhere that SOD's can be caused by memory leak from RAM. And only the mali builds would help slow the leaks until JB kernel source is out, specifically a mali build Rom w/mali kernel or a vsync Rom w/ vsync kernel only. I wonder if that could be a leading cause of our issue here?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ontwowheels:
No, I don't do a system wipe. The updated roms are kind of frequent for that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JimCo06:
I have been using this app for several months and have had only 1 SOD until yesterday. I had 2 yesterday. Both times the KF had gone to sleep with the Dolphin browser open, something I almost never allow. Normally I always close all apps and turn the KF off. Based on that, I am thinking that what apps are, or have been, running when the KF goes to sleep are somehow involved in the SODs.

I am on the 1202 build. I tried the 1211 build for a short time but 1 of my favorite apps wouldn't run without the linaro additions so I went back.

For me a worse annoyance is that I still can't get WiFi to reconnect reliably when the KF comes out of sleep.

Hey guys what's up... I'm a long time xda user for the Xoom, xperia play, and now the RAZR M.

So, my mom hates the kindle interface and i want to install something like this ROM on there BUT she has a couple main concerns i want to respect before i hack her **** to kingdom come Lol:

1) how does Reading books and buying them off Amazon work on this ROM?

2) my mom borrows books through the public library and she says it works through amazon, anyone know anything about that?

3) are there any other big features that she would lose by switching to this ROM?

Thanks so much in advance!! I'm so sick of telling my mom about a cool Android app just for her to tell me its not in the Amazon store!

1. Should work the same as before so long as you have a Kindle or other e-Reader app installed. Syncing book downloads with Amazon is compatible with just the Kindle app, I believe.

2. That may be on the website's FAQ.

3. What big features are she losing from the switch?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pboggini:
There are three such apps. Any recommendations on which one? Is one built by a trusted xda dev?

Well, I use adb pull/push and edit with NotePad++ on my computer. I tried with Root Explorer once, but what a PITA. Good luck.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
OK.. here is the deal

I KNOW YOUR TRYING TO BE HELPFUL WITH THIS TYPE OF POST (directed to all people posting about SOD), but YOU ARE NOT.

Soup magnet was kind enough to make a script that logs your KF until the SOD occurs. If your not running that script, your post is just another "i got the SOD" post...which won't help TWA_priv solve the issue.

If you Want the issue solved, use soup magnets script and post your subsequent log
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
She can still read and buy books but she will likely miss the amazon interface. As far as I know she can borrow from the library but NOT amazon prime. Lots of good stuff in this rom but to go easy on her I recommend that you start your mom with modaco + Google apps. That is essentially a stock rom so she wouldn't lose the amazon features she likes. I dual boot this rom with modaco so I can have the stock experience (although I'm so accustomed to this rom that I've hardly been using it lol)

Btw, I use go launcher ex which she might like if she doesn't like th e amazon bookshelf thing.

Dude thanks so much. I decided to settle on the go launcher plus Google apps option....she likes it so far although the damn kindle app wasn't working so i had to download an older version...

The only true downside i noticed was the lack of a "recent tasks" soft key...with that it would basically be functionally identical to a stock android experience

I have some questions

First, what's that Deep Sleep bug?

Right now I'm using the build: 20121022-1438-Linaro

It's two months old, It's working fine for me, don't know if I will have benefits installing a newer rom, but does this 20121022 build has this Deep Sleep bug?

And, what will I gain updating? Like, any better speed or battery performance?

Thank you :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
First, deep sleep bug is known as sleep of death or SOD; the kernel goes into deep sleep and will not wake up normally. A reset is the only way to bring it back.

Second, the changelogs are in the second post, read through them to see the benefits of upgrading to see it they apply to your needs / wishes.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28885668&postcount=2

You can make a nandroid, install the newer/newest version, try it, and if it has no benefits to your use, restore your nandroid to where you are now, thanks to the flexibility of android.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 85gallon:
So SOD, or deep sleep bug is when you set your Kindle down and it goes to sleep and locks up after a short period of time . Pushing the power button does nothing. To get it back up you have to push and hold the power button for about 30 seconds, release, and push the power button again and let it reboot. It will also sometimes go to sod during large file transfers over usb.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] snowcloud:
I have been using latest build for last 5 days.

Just now faced SOD.

I was using pulse news reader and left it for 15mins.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
I could be wrong but,

The Deep Sleep Bug, is the KF does not enter deep sleep. ever. Results in horible battery life, and if you look at the logs you will see that it sits at 300 MHz almost all the time and never enters deep sleep. Logcats would still be available to show this problem.

The Sleep of Death (or SOD), the KF enters deep sleep and never comes out. Requires hard reboot to start. Not sure what this does to battery life. Logcats would not be available unless you use the logcat script to figgure out what caused this. (please for the love of all creation if you have SODs, send the logcat logs to TWA_priv and not just aimless posts of "oh, I had 2 SODs yesturday")
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moktadir:
You're supposed to reboot your device after applying the changes and/or wipe Play's data (if it doesn't work).

No SOD but terrible battery life. Sluggish too I'd say. I have also had swift key beta crash several times. I'm anxious for 10.1 to get more complete. :)

No, but my use is kindle books, news apps, browsing, forums via tapatalk, email, I do some spreadsheets via Kingsoft Office.

No difference I can see in performance. Battery life is better be a small (but noticeable) amount.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moktadir:
Not sure about sharonbw, but everything seems smoother for me. Battery drain seems to have gone down also (mostly because of SoD fix). Again, it's given me the highest AnTuTu benchmark score in months.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The higher benchmark score is caused by the new Antutu 3.x version, which reports higher/different numbers than 2.x.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sweeds:
twa_priv, as the developer you'll have the most educated answer. Do you expect a noticeable difference in performance using the non-Linaro kernel?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
No difference.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moktadir:
Lol I mentioned that in an earlier post. Regardless, between 12/02 and 12/11 My score went from 78xx to 80xx. I read the changelogs on pretty much everything I update :)

Hello everyone. I am new to Kindle Fire rooting and flashing. I was just wondering. I currently have a rom installed already and also have TWRP 2.3.3.1 installed, I was just wondering if I am able to use that TWRP version to flash this rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mrl515:
Yes, this happens to me constantly, I have to manually change language settings rather than using the in - app instructions for enabling the keyboard, just do that and force quit SwiftKey or whatever keyboard you have and it should work again, after that I've had no problems. Hope this helps!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moktadir:
TWRP 2.3+ has compatibility issues. Just flash the 2.2.2.1 version and you'll be fine with this ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 85gallon:
Only way to know is to try it if you are comfortable doing so since you have a version later than OP mentioned.

Otherwise stick with what twa_priv says in the first post "Make sure you have the latest FFF and TWRP 2.1.x or 2.2.x installed. [Note: Don't use TWRP 2.3.1.1 until all issues are sorted out]"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sweeds:
That's decent, could be better. I try to keep it to 5-10%.

Audio out is exactly what it sounds like. Every time theres a sound to the speakers. This includes keystrokes by default. For big improvement disable Menu-Sound-Touch Sounds
[Kindle Fire Android Development] el_smurfo:
It was my understanding that there was a workaround to the wipe issues with 2.3 in TWRP settings. I forget the exact verbage, but you change the wipe settings to "rm -r" and it works fine for folks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
I should have clarified that this was both active use AND deep sleep. I forgot to write the percentages. Today it was 11%/hr with 8 hrs deep sleep and an hour of use. Sorry if this is just whining. I was surprised to see this with the 12/11 build.

I tried that and still ran into problems eventually so had to revert back to the 2.x series as it still didn't provide a clean factory reset.

Unless you have compelling reason to upgrade, I see no need to do so. For me, all I use recovery for is to flash ROMs, and 3.x doesn't provide more than 2.x in that regard.

how would i go about revertting back to 2.x of TWRP?

so all i would do is push it via ADB and then go into the current recovery version I am using, Install, and flash the 2.2.2.1?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gg_99:
I came from a prior version of TWRP, but that's basically what I did. I saved myself the trouble of adb by downloading directly to the device and checking the MD5 w/ ES File Explorer, but then just flashed the zip in my existing recovery. After a reboot back into recovery I was able to validate that I was using 2.2.2.1.

I've been getting SOD's pretty regularly on the 12/11 build while debugging an app that I'm writing.

What's interesting is that after it SOD's, my adb connection still works, and if I relaunch my app via

I'm kind of a n00b with this stuff.. if there's something I can do to help figure out what's causing the SOD's let me know

Weird thing.

I went to push an app to my KF from the play store and it no longer shows up as one of my devices. :confused: It used to be there. I am running the 1211 build. Not sure if it just disappeared on this build. I know I pushed some apps to it a couple of weeks ago. Even went and downloaded an app directly from the store on the KF to try to force it to show. No worky.

Yeah, thanks guys! That was the problem I'm a moron. I didn't install ANY gapps. Well, I downloaded Play Store apk... and the Google Framework apk, but it obviously needed a lot more apps than that!

No ideas why it stopped showing up in the Play Store under My Settings?

Google's only suggestion is that it is not a supported device. Kindle fire is not listed as a supported device, but it has always shown up until lately. Just wondering if there is something different in the ROM that is not letting Google know it is a Kindle Fire.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] 85gallon:
well I guess no one knows about pushing apps from the play store! LOL

I just find it easier if I am installing several apps. Especially after a fresh install.

You just go to play.google.com on your PC. Log in if not already. Go to My Orders and Settings link at bottom. It brings up a list of apps you have used in the past and also apps you have purchased. Click the app, then install, then choose which device you want to send it to. You can literally push like 30 apps to your device in under a minute. They download to your device and install automatically. But only if your device is showing up at the play store. Click Settings tab for list of devices tied to your account.

That is where it is not showing up with one of the later updates. Play store is not recognizing it as a valid Android device.

Beats the hell out of searching, clicking install, then accept on your KF screen to install apps. Then searching for the next app.......etc.
