Sorry, I should have clarified. The 7/17 I referred to was the Rom. I'm 99% certain the gapps I flashed was the same both times. (Though I might have had 7/17 gapps from the get go.) It worked on the 7/17 rom, but not 7/18.

There's an outside shot I found and downloaded a newer gapps, but I only had one in my downloads folder, and there was only like 2 hours where I was running the 2nd 7/17 rom before 7/18 was up, so I'm thinking not.

Like I said though, I tried essentially nothing to rectify it, because it might have been happening to everyone, and I can't do anything about it if it's just busted busted. I'll try redownloading and reflashing 7/18 tonight, if there isn't another build out altogether by then. Either way I seem to be having a unique problem, because it's not the FC problem. Google Now, or at least how to get to it, is just gone.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Yeah with twa's roms being dated 7/17 & 7/18, as well as the newest gapps being dated 7/17, it can get confusing. LOL But, twa's 7/18 rom combined with 7/11 gapps definitely is working well, including Google Now. I can't say for sure that twa's 7/17 rom produced the same results, because as soon as I flashed it, twa put out the 7/18 rom....like lightning. :D So, I never got much testing with 7/17 and went right to 7/18.

Btw twa, I know it's early in the development of this rom but would you consider version numbers as opposed to dates going forward? Thanks.

slow charge/dead kindle

yes, it was plugged in all night and barely charged anything. now my kindle is completely dead and I can't even turn it on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
Contrary to what is posted in the 3.0 kernel thread, the charging issue hasn't been fully resolved. Maybe because of the different HW configurations? I've seen people who said they got theirs to charge by messing with the connection, but this is a very bad idea as it wears out the connector.

I have the same problem with my device (old HW config) and so I started messing around with it. If I go to the battery stats, after plugging in the charger, it will say "Discharging". If I pull up on the plug far enough, it will change to "Charging". The weird thing is that when I let go of the plug and let it rest in it's normal position, it will stay at "Charging" and continue to charge normally, and no amount of moving the cable or connector around changes that. What this tells me is that it isn't a hardware issue (i.e. loose USB connection), rather a software issue. I think by pulling up on the USB connector, it causes a short or funky connection that tells the software it's okay to charge.

I have found a way to get it to charge every time, with no problem.

1) Power the Kindle off completely

2) Plug the Kindle in and let it power up automatically

It will automatically power up in charging mode, assuming the battery isn't too dead and you haven't worn out the connection by pulling or twisting on it too much to get it to charge.

3) Put the Kindle to sleep and know that it's charging (or you could check to make sure...it's your call)

In response to the previous message, your battery is too dead for this. You need a factory cable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
My experience is that as long as the led turn orange on after you plug in the device it's charging fine. The led will turn off once the screen goes off.

Sometimes (almost never lateley for me) you have to plug in the KF a few times until the led turns on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
That's why I think, it's either the HW configuration, or something is happening when you plug it in a certain way to tell the software to start charging.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yeah ... my point was make sure the led turns on - then you're fine and can be sure it's charging.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
I agree. I just think people should be more careful with their hardware as it is basically the end of your device if it fails.

I could not get 8/28 to install. TWRP says the package is not valid.

Re: [ROM] [CM10] Jelly Bean ROM using SGT7 enhancements [20120828] [Linaro]

Try redownloading rom

One problem I've been having with this rom since your first build (I think) is that some apps have graphics rendering problems. For example the ROM toolbox root browser. See image from link.

http://db.tt/9VcyjxFT

I just never mentioned it thinking that it would be fixed, but its been a while now so I decided to tell you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shuddles:
I noticed that rendering problem in ROM Toolbox Pro. Worked around it by changing from the default theme. It still happens if I go into the font manager though. Makes me think it is a bug with ROM Toolbox's custom fonts.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] JimCo06:
Since charging has been brought up I thought I would post a couple of my recent observations. I just set my computer up to dual boot Unbutu. When I am running Ubuntu and plug my KF in the charging led light works perfectly. The orange light comes on immediately and stays on constantly until the charge level reaches about 90% then the light turns green. The on screen icon still does not show charging though.

I have also noticed that the charging led on a totally stock KF can sometimes take over a minute to come on after being plugged in.

Don't know what any of this means but I thought I would pass it along. Maybe it will help someone figure out what is going on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
If you turn on "Force GPU rendering" in dev options rom toolbox scrolls fine. Not sure what side effects this has though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powerpoint45:
Thank you sir. Your awesome
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
Thanks. I won't bore you with the details of past installs ;) I'll do a full wipe and flash and see what happens. I wish there was a way to export system settings bc i know this will wreak havoc with my two factor auth on multiple accounts and I would guess the Google auth app as well which I use for 8 different logins. Here's hoping it all works ;)

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Interestingly I never had that issue with rom toolbox pro until just now. I launched it bc i wanted to ask if other people can get the CPU control app inside it working as it force closes the whole rom toolbox pro app when I select it. But I couldn't remember the exact name and wanted to get it right for this post. Now I have that rendering issue. Maybe it saw the screenshot image and wanted to give it a try, you know how these apps can have an attitude, hehehe.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The last build was an old-kernel build and I have nothing changed (old) kernel & device code-wise in quite some time.

However, there were quite a few CM10 frameworks/native and frameworks/av changes recently - maybe one of those is the reason. It might also be the app - I briefly played around with rom toolbox lite ... and got a FC right away when trying to look at the rom toolbox preferences. And looking at the logcat indicated that this is an app issue. I even got the same FC on my GT with this app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sambena:
reviving the dead

Thank you for the advice. I had just enough juice left to do these steps and now my kindle is fully charged.

in response to those who say if you get a orange light then your charging. I did that, and I thought it was charging

when I found my kindle completely dead (almost). Maybe my experience was a complete fluke. Maybe I shouldn't

trust the orange light and follow these steps every time. I know now that its not just that the icon isnt being updated

or that you can go into settings to see that its really charging. I know that there is something else messed up with

the charging.

In all sincerity, I am really grateful for hashcode for his work on getting a 3.0 kernel working. and I am really grateful

for all the devs who make these roms. Though not perfect, still better than stock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] G-diddy:
Just installed 8/28 build. Getting fairly regular system ui crashes. Also, you tube clips for games in Google Play require several screen traps on the arrow before YouTube will launch. Not a huge deal, just a little annoying. Otherwise awesome ROM. Considering keeping as my daily driver. Would be nice to have those little bugs fixed though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] saulob:
I noticed the same thing. Tought it was ROM Toolbox PRO error and let it go.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iclickjohn:
daughters Kindle joins the ranks. Thanks to all the devs. Oh no, There is a GS3 sitting there, lonesome, unrooted, just wanting a mere taste of JB CM10.......what to do, what to do.

Did a search on "volume" and found only option to be a "volume app" is that true? I would prefer an inside solution if it is available.

Yes, it said discharging, but it has always charged none the less. some have had it not charge at all, are they a minority or could this happen to anyone on this rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Go to Settings -> Advanced and set the touchscreen filter to something higher than 0. I've set it to 50. This should help with not recongnized clicks.

SystemUI crashes can happen if you didn't install properly. Did you do a full wipe (dalvik, cache, data and system)?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] callmeshulah:
FC's in superuser when uninstalling an app. fresh install but i used twrp 2.2.2.0 to restore data. went into manage apps from nav menu, uninstalled an app and superus fc. so i uninstalled another app(after i rebooted kindle) and same deal, fc'd. i went to androidsu.com/superuser and downloaded the superuser apk (the rc3) and installed via twrp flash. tested by uninstalling an app and no fc, tried on afew apps. seems it cleaed it up. anyone else can confirm fc's on uninstalling an app on latest build, or was it my data restore?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I have gone back to the build from 8/24. It is snappier and visibly better, and I have not had the odd experiences like flashing menus. My hardware apparently likes the new kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
If you restore /data from a different ROM then don't be surprised if you see weird behaviour.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] callmeshulah:
the backup was from your builds, been using them for awhile now. i wouldnt post about another rom in another devs thread :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Ah, ok. But I would not even do that.

If you upgrade from a previous version there's no need to full wipe (and then restore data) - dalvik & cache is good enough. This of course assumes that you did a full wipe the very first time you installed the ROM.

I flashed so many different builds with without a full wipe on top of each other without any issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scidon37:
If you have it in tablet mode, press the setting icon in the notification bar and there should be a volume slider. If not, you can add it.

A for charging issues, there seems to be a minority having the issues you mentioned, but anything could happen to anybody, especially with bleeding edge like this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Funny, I too did not have any of those "odd experiences" with the 8/24 new kernel build. However, I flashed the 8/28 old kernel build last night and I thought that it immediately felt snappier than the 8/24. If you happen to be one of those that value benchmarks, the 8/28 was 50 pts higher in Antutu coming in just a shade under 6700.

For me, all of twa's builds have been very quick and I've only had very minor issues with any of them. I believe that many of the issues are how the rom was installed by users, as well as certain apps not playing nice with JB. Recently, I've noticed quite a few of the apps that I use mentioning some fix or another for JB when I update them.

Well, speed aside I'm still on the fence as to which build I'll ride with until the next release. I'm guessing that eventually, we'll all be on a newer kernel, so I may just nandroid back to 8/24...or not! :D

Also, for the charging issue, seems like recently I've hardly had to plug in my charger more than once for it to work. It's pretty much been working on the first attempt, usually takes a few seconds and the orange light pops on. I've also installed Team Battery Bar, which gives me a visual charging animation so I don't have to go into settings/battery, or click on some battery widget to be certain my KF is really charging. I call it my lazy man's safety net. :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Just a friendly reminder to everyone using the default Launcher that comes with this ROM:

The 8/24 build is the last one with Launcher2. 8/28 (and all subsequent builds) will have Trebuchet instead of Launcher2. So if you're using the default Launcher you will (sooner or later) need to setup your homescreens again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I have been doing dirty installs, just wiping cache and dalvik, and perhaps going back to the older kernel did not like that. My best Antutu was with the new kernel @ 6280, if I remember correctly. I test with everything running that I normally run. Previous ROMs bested at 5300. The new one is better on my kindle. What surprised me is the visual difference. It is not major by any means, but I can see it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Wiping just cache & dalvik is fine when switching between old and new kernel builds.

Antutu scores always vary for me also. They always (old and new kernel builds btw) are anywhere in between 6600 and 6700 (sometimes close to 6800). You need to run about 3 to 5 benchmarks and then look at the average.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Figures, I just finish posting about battery charging and I see something I haven't noticed before. I just plugged in my KF to charge with the wall charger and the orange light came on in a couple of seconds and Team Battery showed it was charging. I checked a few secs later and the orange light was still on but Team Battery was not showing it charging. Sure enough, I went into settings/battery and it said discharging.

Looks like we do have to take care that it's really charging, especially if you leave it charging overnight.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] eoy4:
Does Trebuchet have auto-arrange of widgets and icons? I really love that feature. If not, how can I "side-load" Launcher 2 into newer ROMs? : (
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
As far as I can tell Trebuchet and Launcher2 have exactly the same features. And yes, icons/widgets automatically get re-arranged when adding an app/widget.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] G-diddy:
Did all those things when installing. Thanks for the pointer on the touchscreen filter. I'll give that a go. Could some of my problems be caused because I restored my apps with TiBa from CM9? I ran fix permissions, wiped cache and dalvik, and fix permissions again. Seems to have worked so far. Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I would not recommend restoring apps backed up in CM9. This is just asking for trouble :). I always install all apps from scratch when moving up a version. To quickly re-download my apps I'm usually using Applist Backup, which saves market links for all apps you have installed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] G-diddy:
Didn't know about Apps list Backup. Thanks. Btw, do Google Play movies work on this ROM? It didn't throw up the rooted device warning when I installed the app.

Video playback in old and new kernel

I'd like to mention that the new kernel (20120824-2036-Linaro) plays a lavishly coded HD video flawlessly via BSPlayer, while the old kernel (20120828-1622-Linaro) slightly joggles. Maybe the new built-in HD codec (via TI's ducati binary) offers improved performance for eccentric videos. Just a hint for users who can well live with the few shortcomings of the new kernel while still wanting to retain the best video playback option.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] anactoraaron:
Just curious, if you leave it alone after it does that for say two hours and check the charge level again has it charged anyway? Every time I plug mine in regardless of charge indicator /os reporting 'charging' status it still charges.

Also with the new kernel it seems to take a bit longer to fully charge than before, but I'm not complaining since it also seems to get better battery life. Anyone else seeing what I think I'm seeing in regards to battery life on the 8/24 build (new kernel)?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Yes, I am getting better battery life on the new kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New build is up and unless some unexpected issues pop up all future builds will also use the new kernel sources.

20120831-2228-Linaro (New Kernel) (Alternate download)

Changes

* Hashcodes latest device, vendor and kernel sources

* HBO Go fix (thanks to sbrady)

* Removed RomManager apk

* Flickering issue is fixed (new device/kernel and vendor sources fixed it)

Regarding the wifi not reconnecting problem:

It seems to affect only a few users and is probably caused by the new kernel firmware upgrade. That means clean (full wipe) installs are probably not affected.

If you encounter the problem then you can try to delete /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf. You will loose all your save wifi connections and need to reconnect but this will probably fix the issue.

Sorry, I only noticed this just that one time and me being anal, I unplugged/plugged it to get it back to saying charging. :D As for charging time, I think my KF has been charging pretty quickly with both CM9/CM10, doesn't seem different with the new kernel.

I don't think battery life in general is all that good if I'm gaming, or watching a movie but otherwise it's decent. When idle and screen off, I lose roughly about 5% every 6.5 - 7 hours, which I think is pretty good.
