Google Earth

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but yet another app that was force closing when I was using Hashcode's current JB is now working for me with this rom....Google Earth.

Roms have to be customized to run /data/local boot animations I believe. Not sure what is needed to be done though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Thanks for the reply. I've always used a version of CM7 or CM9 on both my Touchpad and Fire and never had a problem. Matter of fact, before running JB, I was using all your versions of Eyecandy and never had an issue with my custom bootanim in /data/local. Come to think of it, I also did the same thing when I had my Nook Color with both CM7 and CM9. I wonder what's different in the structure of the JB rom?

One thing I do notice, if I disable the JB bootanim in /system/media, I still get some kind of boot screen that just says Android on it. Well, for now I'll just replace the bootanim in the rom zipfile with my custom bootanim, until I or someone else figures it out. Of course, any suggestions are always appreciated.:)

The local network is not working in Hashcode or lithium76 ROMS, so likely not in this one either, that crashes Google Earth. I might be wrong.

Been busy all day and dying to flash this. I am now downloading my third version and have not flashed one yet, the anticipation is killing me. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
This might just be something CM specific which hasn't been merged to CM10 yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Maybe you misunderstood my post, Google Earth IS working on this rom! Matter of fact, it zooms right in to my back yard. LOL

Did you notice any significant changes ( speed,smoothness,video playback,etc ) with the new kernel?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
is the loosetheskin repo your repo for this rom? or just one you use to build off of? just curious.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Pretty much, yes.

Have a look here and here.

These are the local manifests I'm using.

However, I'm using github more or less to backup my stuff and have a git daemon running on my server instead.

So all cmdev repos and their names need to be changed to point to loosethisskin @ github.

I also haven't created all repos needed for a full linaro build at my github yet.

i love the ability to change the colors of the clock and the menu buttons, but is there a way to add the ability to change the color of the wifi and battery icons as well, looks kinda stupid with dark blue buttons and clock and light blue wifi and battery icons

just a thought

the rom is great and has been since the beginning thanks man
[Kindle Fire Android Development] umash4:
@twa_priv, ^ from your original post... I disguised the Kindle as a Galaxy Nexus. But every once in a while Google Maps show some place in Seattle as My Location (which is off by half a globe :) ). Any idea how to stop this from happening?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] ortrigger:
there was a mod for this but it has since been discontinued. The dev that did it compiled his own rom based on this one and built the mods into it. It's called alien droid if you simply can't stand the different colored clock and WiFi icons.

Thought I'd post my last two scores. There's such a wide disparity in what has been reported for this ROM. I was getting around 4800 pretty consistently. This latest one 6743. Antutu made some changes to how they're measuring cpu for jb just the other day.

Loaded up the latest version. Flashed over, caches wiped. Runs perfect. Thanks twa_priv! Since moving to this ROM i downloaded Flash 11.1... and everything works great. I even got Bible youversion installed and working. Thanks a million
[Kindle Fire Android Development] colphoenix:
I put mine to charge overnight and was at full charge in the morning
[Kindle Fire Android Development] umash4:
Good one. Now, does anyone know the answer? Of course I can simply install a version over, but would like to avoid it if possible
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animez:
It's odd, I have not had this issue on my Fire, but my wife's boots into recovery every time if you don't change it when it's booting. I just update both Kindles to the current build and mine boots fine while hers goes into recovery. I checked all the md5s and everything downloaded fine. The only difference between my Fire and hers is she has TWRP 2.2 while I'm running 2.1 and I flashed the Galaxy Nexus zip on hers as well. Other than that everything is the same.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrSchroeder:
KFU is odd because it uses different drivers than ADB does. What I've done to work is first uninstall from devmgmt.msc the android phone driver that appears then connect your kindle via usb. If you right click the devices and scan for hardware changes, you should get a kindle device with the yellow triangle on usb devices OR a base <driveletter>:/ device. Right click this and update drivers. You will then have the android phone again but this time with drivers that a adb recognizes. Kfu uses different drivers, the ones included in the kfu download.

so using the drivers that ADB recognizes, open an (elevated) cmd prompt and run

adb shell "idme bootmode 4000"

If you still can't get out of booting TWRP, first run:

adb shell "idme bootmode 4002"

reboot your device, then run:

adb shell "idme bootmode 4000"

reboot again and you should be out of your bootloop

Partly from: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/79

if you want to use k Fu again, be sure to run the drivers included in the kfu download
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animez:
Both Fires were rooted using KFU. There's no boot loop, my wife's Fire is just defaulting to recovery rather than a normal boot. I can use the power button during startup to select a normal boot, but if not selected it will boot into recovery every time.

Edit - I decided to try the suggestion in the post above, but when I boot her Fire now it boots correctly, not sure what changed, but it seems to be good now.

Storage oddity.

Has anyone encountered similar storage oddity with this ROM?

Look at total space and available space.

Any fix other than reflash?

Edit: Item #2 - Profiles!

Anytime I use a user profile other than the primary, I cannot install anything from play store. Granted, I'm using the same google account (going to test with one of the kids' accounts in a moment), The problem occurs no matter what the permissions/app settings are. What specifically occurs is:

App will download in full, and instead of installing pop up error "Invalid download location" pops up and the option to download comes up again.

New problem. Item #3

------

When switching between user profiles, from Primary to Pesky kid, for example, and then back - everything begins forceclosing.

Now my KF is sitting with orange light on, adb won't recognize, KFU won't recognize, devmgmt.msc recognizes it only as F:/ - uninstalled this, reinstalled, still nothing. Can't seem to reboot in any soft way.

Edit2 - Item #3 -

Holding power button for about 180 seconds finally rebooted it, and using Kindle Unbrick Utility now http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428428

Still need some help once we're up and running on the storage issue, and the users/downloading apps issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrSchroeder:
The change is that sometimes TWRP is unable to write the idme:<settings> correctly due to drivers in use at the time of flash. No big, this is just manually telling it what to do - glad it worked. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
I've been getting random issues with mute; sometimes it works great other times it shows muted but sounds still come through at whatever the volume had been set to.

6508 score with all my normal apps running, including avast AV. This rom rocks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrSchroeder:
the storage issue that I mentioned in above post is still happening, where I only have 1.67 gigs available but showing 4.99 total space and less than 1 Gb used. So that exists after complete wipe reset to factory and reinstall.

I was also able to recreate but not resolve the profile issue.so I give up on having multiple profiles on the system.

all in all for my wife's purposes, this is a fan f****** tastic ROM thanks very much for the hard work everything works pretty much.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
Its normal, you get 2 gb dedicated to apps and the rest goes to system and sd
[Kindle Fire Android Development] flyguy914:
I just flashed this rom everything works except when I plug it in it shows no signs of charging has anyone else experienced this
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ortrigger:
That's a known issue on all KF roms. It's because of some kinks in the kernel that hashcode is still working through. You can check in the settings menu and it should show as charging. Or if all else, give it a few minutes and you should be able to see the battery percentage going up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
As long as the charging led turns orange the device will charge fine. The led will turn off as soon as the screen turns off - that's normal.

Vanishing Files From Kindle Folder

I upgraded to the latest version of this ROM cm-10-20120817-2143-SNAPSHOT-otter-sgt7-linaro. I did a full wipe etc and reloaded the apps from the Google Play store, including Kindle by Amazon; this is my fave ebook reader. When the device is powered off, the files in the kindle folder vanish. Believe it or not if you have 10 books at the first power off, after a couple reboots, the kindle folder is empty. I have tried JellyCane and the same thing. I have reverted to the previous build, 201208-0157-Linaro.

Is anyone else having the same issue? Need some advice to correct this.

:confused:

Any ideas how to make Google translate to work? It crashing anytime I run it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
The current market version 2.5, force closes. Possibly because Google added a new camera related feature and obviously, the KF doesn't have a camera. Just a guess that maybe this new version makes a call to the camera and can't find one.

Do a Google search for

"Google Translate 2.4.2 apk"

, download and sideload that apk. This apk will load and work for typing text to translate.

So I just decided to root my fiancees kindle fire and decided to flash this rom and it is amazing - thank you! I never really used the stock rom but I noticed the auto brightness feature on this doesn't really work. Does auto brightness not work on any kindle roms? Or just this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
No, the auto-britness and the charger driver are both still WIP :).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pig Vomit:
Bought my KF just before a trip to Thailand, thinking it would get use during some downtime and during long flights. There wasn't any downtime, and the seat-back video on demand was there on all the flights and it rocked (Thanks, Korean Air!).

I never really liked Amazon's interface on it. It was just kinda clunky and stupid, and I hated....HATED....not being able to use Google Apps and other favorites from the Play store (like Google Play, Maps, and Places).

I'm used to rooting and using custom ROMs, especially CM9, on my old Samsung Vibrant. Now I've got a Galaxy S III and running the stock firmware (for now). Been kinda Jonesing for some ROM experimentation.

Today I got a wild hair and decided to load this ROM on the KF. What a huge difference. Faster than stock (I think?), and the Android CM UI is way better than Amazon's KF stock. I'm very pleased with this. It has transformed a useless brick into a usable and useful tool for many situations. Yeah, there are some minor issues which have already been discussed in this thread, but for those of you reading this that are sitting on the fence about using this ROM, rest assured, this is ready to be your daily driver.

Good work, developers. Thanks for all your hard work.

Sorry to hear about this...

Thinking back, this has happened to my family three times, but long before the electronics explosion (not even PCs back then! -- I was a kid for the first two). So, all they got was a little money and a little jewelry -- we lived pretty simply, so I'm sure the burglars were disappointed. Guess we've all got more to lose nowadays ... I know that I do.

It does creep you out, that is for sure.

New builds are up:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20120820-2303-Linaro (Alternate download)

Changes

* Compiled using the latest 2012.08 4.7.2 linaro toolchain

* Used -mtune=cortex-a9 and -mcpu=cortex-a9 processor optimizations

* Thumbs compiled using -fstrict-aliasing -Werror=strict-aliasing. This enables the compiler to optimize better.

* Tablet mode dpi change. This results in slightly bigger icons and one more (now 7) default home screen columns (can be changed in the Launcher settings).

* Latest SGT7 (Settings, Framework, Launcher) and CM10 changes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20120821-0215-Linaro (New Kernel / Experimental) (Alternate download)

Changes

* All changes from above

* Compiled using hashcode's new kernel, device and vendor sources

The build is labelled experimental because it's the first build using the new sources and hashcode himself considers the status as alpha.

All new kernel features and known issues can be found here. Please do not report issues mentioned by hashcode - only if you encounter other problems.

NOTE:

The first boot after flashing works fine. However, subsequent reboots could (and probably will, at least according to my tests) result in bootloops with the device rebooting over and over again. If you're stuck in such a boot loop press the power button until the device shuts down. Then boot into recovery, wipe dalvik and reboot.

I don't think that's an issue with linaro and/or the compiler options I'm using. Because I also did some vanilla builds and it happened there as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
