New (test) builds are up:

20120916-1916-Linaro

20120916-2139

20120916-2139 is a non-linaro build and also does not include the system, oom and mount tweaks. zram and hwa are included though.

Cumulative changes since last "official" build I posted in the OP:

* Settings: Split tablet mode into tablet status bar and tablet ui (new Force Tablet UI setting)

* Framework: Back to 600dp drawables

* Trebuchet: A couple of small fixes for max grid size and preference fc

* Trebuchet: Fix for install shortcuts

* Added HWA Settings app to blacklist applications from using HWA - which supposingly should save a little memory. Please don't ask me which apps to blacklist - I don't know and I'm not going to spend much time on it because I don't have any issues with the apps I'm running. I know more info can be found on the Defy XDA forums.

* ZRAM kernel module (thanks to drowningchild)

* Added zram init.d script which 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.

* I/O Scheduler performance options fix

I can reproduce it, but not at will. Almost any YouTube video of over 5 minutes that I tried today will hang for me, even if the buffering is fine. Some of the ones I had trouble with were:

You might want to test the 20120916-2139 non-linaro build and verify Brighthouse TV not working there either - just to rule out linaro beeing the culprit.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Maybe one of the recent CM frameworks/av (or other) commits included in 20120915 fixed it. I can't see that the kernel or device changes had anything to do with it. But let's keep our fingers crossed and hope it stays that way.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
You are the man! Thanks again for all of your hard work and dealing with all of us on the forum and our problems and wishes!

If and when you stop developing for the original Kindle Fire, I will most likely sell mine and get whichever tablet you move onto.

I wish you would develop for the Verizon version of the Samsung Gallery SIII!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
Just installed the 9/16 non-linaro build. It runs fantastic! Gets rid of all the lag.

However, something seems not right. When I run Plex (video streaming) the video runs choppy. Any way to fix that but still get rid of the lag?

Also this build fixes the layout with HD Widgets forecast screen. Previously the 5 day temperatures would get cut off.

New build is up:

20120917-0459-Linaro

Cumulative changes since last "official" build:

My God you are so very fast.Thanks.

I have to say, the the 20120916-2139 non-linaro build runs better for me than any other build in the last couple weeks. Will see what the newest build does in terms of smoothness and performance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
twa, I've said it before and I'll say it again. You are a beast! :D Btw, since 9/15 build the games that I had issues with, as well as browser crashes were fixed. Now with the charger fix, I think I can safely tuck away my CM9 nandroid. :)

Thanks,

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The only difference of the two builds of today are hashcodes kernel fixes (of course) and the KSM cherry-pick taken from this pull request. Should hopefully not have any negative effect.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Did you get the charging / panel / backlight fixes into this?

EDIT: Hah, I jumped to the bottom before reading back. :) Looks like you're good.

I want to know how the Scheduler changes are working and if we need to merge them into the main build. Let me know.

EDIT #2: Heads up that new audio changes are also in progress and I'll get them out as soon as they're working. (MIC support, etc).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
update machine :)) thank you, testing
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Late now, so going to get some sleep but the charger is definitely working now. Also, the bootanim comes on earlier now, so you get to see more of it. I'm guessing that has something to do with the backlight fix in the new kernel. I also enabled KSM in performance settings, I'll play around tomorrow (later today) to see if I'm able to notice any improvements. The few things I did get to test so far are working fine.

Thanks again and of course thanks to Hashcode for this awesome kernel. Good night.

EDIT: Hashcode, just read your edit re: audio/mic...Great Stuff!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Finally. Way way better ;).

Thanks twa, thanks :).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VileParty:
Great improvements!

I have a question, and this is with every build I've tried yet:

Are the settings supposed to eat 41-50mb of RAM continuously? If so, then nm.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] deepmanu:
Great improvement in this edge.cutting ROM.

But i'm having one problem. When i turn wi-fi on, the network where i am connected goes down.

Even computers with wired connection lose web acess.

On 20120913-0247-Linaro the connection worked just right.

What might be happening?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] davuong:
Dear twa_priv... thnks for your great rom with the latest kernel of Hashcode... but one more thing : with the Amazon Stock Rom (6.3.1), when I connect the Kindle fire to PC with the microUSB cable, it automaticly connect. But with CM7, CM9 and now the CM10 Rom, it doesn't and I have to touch the button turn on USB storage to connect the Kindle Fire with PC via USB Mass Storage...

So, would you please fix this??? Thank you so much again
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
we must all be slamming that download link at once :P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Wow wow wow, this one is smoooove, and amazing. All good now thanks to you and Hashcode.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] a1exus:
I cleared _ALL_ of my apps from "recent list" and I'm looking at Settings -> Apps -> Running and I see w/out any of my apps running my tablet using ~300MB and most of it is "Settings, which takes over 40MB and knowing the fact that I have about 100MB just left, 40MB is a big chunk.

is it running all the time? or it's not loaded (if I clear settings from my recent as well)?

feels like I hit swap a lot and my tablet becomes unresponsive until to the point where I have to hold power button for a long time for it to shutdown ungracefully(( i already uninstalled a lot of apps, but i don't think those apps were eating any of memory when they not lunched.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Of course Settings will show up as a running app if you check it via Settings -> Apps. Otherwise Android will take care of it and cache it. And 40+ MB for Settings is normal.

Regarding unresponsiveness you can try to delete the init.d scripts as I posted here and see if it makes a difference. But make sure you test with the same apps running and leave it for a while and observe.

I suggest you start with 02oom only, observe for a while, then also delete 01sysctl and ovserve again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Excellent ROM. No issues at all. Thanks for all the work and quick responses to new development.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a1exus:
I think that occurs mostly when I using apps at that moment and not due to I left them running for long time...

one more question though... is it possible to do that expanded folder is not so spread out? I want it like on my nexus7 nice and tight ))
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
No Issues here on 20120917 build/rom :) Thanks again for another great rom running smooth charging looks to be working as it should batt animation and led turns on red and green when full :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] snowcloud:
Everything is working nicely.:)

Only issue I have is that after reboot the CPU frequencies are getting reset to default.

I have selected set at boot.

Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The max frequency get's reset to 1200 as soon as the screen goes off. I'm sure it's not a permission issue and the reset rather happens in the libpower/power.c device code. If I find some time I'm going to have a closer look - but don't expect any battery improvement by lowering the frequency.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] collindv:
Boy that seems nitpicky :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
So make it work the way amazon has it not the way it was meant to work like google set it up? That isn't fixing it that is rebreaking it. What if you are simply charging through usb? What if you are just running adb?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:
this surely isn't a bug, it's the default way Android acts. Don't you see the same on smartphones with android?

it sounds like an option to me, and it is by default with stock kindle
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Nightly Suicide:
Fantastic ROM, I just switched from CM9 (gedeROM), and man the performance is 10x times better. The battery icon does show charging and the led is working correctly.

Use MTP instead of USB if you want to avoid the clicks.

Thank you twa for the fast new build.

But is there any non-linaro version? ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ortrigger:
Thanks to both of you, twa_priv and hashcode. Props for the great stuff you're both putting out. The new build seems to be running great and I'm stoked to have the charging working right. The rom is very snappy right from the get go.

Freaking fantastic job....thank you twa! And thank you hashcode!

Now the noob question of the day: how do get the top right button apps drawer button? Should I use a different launcher or something?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] freestylejunki32:
Awesome work as always :) I a, still having some freeze up issues when playing games like real racing 2 which won't even load as well as web browsing specifically Google images. This is on the 9-17 version. I don't experience any lags of freezes on hash code latest build so maybe it related to the linaro? Thanks again for all the hard work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
It might also be the oom/sys param changes - you could try what I posted here to maybe narrow it down.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Thank you o so much for this here rom. I have been running it for months and the updates are greatly appreciated. Excuse my bluntness but you guys some talented mofos!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] freestylejunki32:
Wow....I used root explorer and delete the 02oom script and rebooted. Real racing 2 starts up very fast :) excellent thank you...I will keep you posted as to whether or not it fixes t browser freeze issues but. Was excited that it worked so well for the game :)

Edit: Google images much smoother now. Must have been am issue with the 02oom script.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Leraeniesh:
One thing I noticed with newest build

I am wanting to use Bluetooth with this ROM.

When I plug my bluetooth dongle into kindle via OTG, the light for my dongle comes on, but i turn bluetooth on in settings.

Is there anyway to enable this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Since I consider hashcode's build the "reference build" :) (and my rom is based on his codebase) - did you by any chance check if it works with his latest build?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yeah, might as well be - the oom script changes when (and which apps) android starts killing in low memory situations. The values I'm using are actually the same as V6 would set them - at least on ICS. Time to check if the latest v6 would still come up with the same values in JB.

I guess I'm going to take it out in the next build - and see how it goes....

Thx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
That explains why using terminal would close everytime I tried doing logcat with it. Just like v6 it makes it hard to multi task. I'm running logcat now and its working perfectly. (I too deleted the oom init.d script with root explorer)

Did you delete all 3 script files, or just 02oom?

I don't blame you. This is really becoming a finely tuned beast

sent from my Nokia 5110 using t9
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I would do it one-by-one. Starting with oom (most likely), sysctl (unlikely) and mount (very unlikely an issue).

Edit: Even though the vm.swappiness = 20 (default 60) setting in sysctl might also have an effect. I'll leave that in for now though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
OK, sounds good. This build is really working well so far, looks like things are definitely coming together and on the right track. Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Yeah, let's hope we'll see fewer reports about freezing and such.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
If you change the system/build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density to 140 and reboot, you can install most themes. Then once installed, change it back to 160 and reboot again. You can either change it manually or by using an app like SystemTuner or ROM Toolbox Pro.

Go to page 96 and there is a zip file you can flash

in TWRP before you add a theme flash the zipfile and

the DPI will chance to 140

after you add a theme flash the zipfile again and DPI

will chance to 160.

it's working great i use it every time.

Good ROM, however when I plug the Fire to charger and it goes to sleep the wifi turns off. After waking up does not connect to wifi, I have to turn off and then on the wifi in order to reconnect.

I will check with Hashcode's build and will report.

Is the battery drain the same as what other users say on hash codes build?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lincomatic:
twa,

thanks a zillion for all of your effort! Out of the available JB ROMs for the KF, I like yours the best blend of stability & UI options.

and your incessant build releases :)

I was getting freezeups with yesterday's (9/17) build, and took out all 3 scripts from init.d.

It seemed to be running better, but this morning, I woke up the machine for about 30sec, suspended it,

and when I tried to wake it up 1/2 hour later, it was unresponsive, and I had to hard boot it.

I've installed your 9/18 build, and will let you know if behaves badly.

With the 9/17 build, I found that the battery life increased a bit while suspended,

but I feel like the battery drain while awake has increased (not sure if I'm imagining the latter or not).

It would be cool if you could add the RAM usage status to the task switcher popup like on JandyCane,

since the KF seems to often run close to the limit of available memory.

Thanks again for all of the hard work, you rock!

I had Ui Force close on 9/17 build and the power button didn't seem to always want to toggle the shutdown menu, instead it would just turn off the screen.

Is Exchange sync working in the stock email client?

Maybe the same problem here.

Exchange sync against m.hotmail.com never completes - says to wait for email forever.

This is happening on the 20120918 build as well.

Anyone get the stock email client to work against Hotmail? How about against other Exchange servers?

In general 20120918 has been working very well - it is impressive - this is the only issue I've found so far. Battery life looks to be improved significantly as well.

anyone else have this. could have sworn this thing shipped with 8 gb lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
8 gigs is the unformated size after you add system and the rest roughly 5 gigs is what left for sdcard partition
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
i was looking online. I could have sworn after adding the os and such we always ended up with like 6.5 gigs of space (but its been a while since i ever cared to check.

also always thought it said 8 gigs total in the storage info then allocated the os and BS in its charts. mine just said "heres your 5 gigs biotch!" at least thats how it felt it was said to me :(

okay as long as I know its normal, my memory is just flaky i guess.

thanks as always
[Kindle Fire Android Development] freestylejunki32:
Same here. No freeze ups and anything after removing the oom script but i have had to hard reboot 2 times in the past 24hours due to a sleep of death i beleive. Charged all night long, turned it on this morning and it was fine. Went to use it again 30 mins later and the screen would not come on. I suspect a kernal issue though which if it is we should see the same problem with all roms using hashcods latest-which also means hashcode will inevitably get it fixed like he always does :) Aside from that 1 problem, this is by far the most stable JB build yet :)
