K wasnt happening on my other devices which is why i posted. also tried deleting and re adding my account a few times with no success.

Tried using logcat but for some reason it doesnt work me me and wont run on my JB roms.

Also will a logcat work after a reboot or does the KF clear its logs up?

maybe its the logcat im using as there are a couple in the market, which one do you guys use?

On a side note I have SERIOUSLY been debating on just going back to CM7 due to the stability. I know with IOS when i would give me girl my old phones jailbroken and they wouldnt update eventually apps would just start wigging out and crashing ETC ETC ETC since their versions were so far behind and I couldnt update them due to the OS version. To me this was apples way of saying BUY OUR NEW PHONE YOU CHEAP *****!

anyway if i went back to cm7 would I still be able to get most of the apps I use currently (since they would be so much older versions) or am I dicked out?

thanks as always
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cultofrobots:
It would depend. You would have to check the version compatibility of the apps that you use in the play store. Anything that is android 3.0+ is a no go.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] saulob:
I tought about the same thing. Using a CM7 version and get no more FC or problems. But CM7 is very ugly and does not have all the nice Tablet UI mode. And all the bell and whistles :(

The Kindle doesn't actually have a mic. I believe the latest 3.0 kernel from Hashcode has added in some capability to use a USB mic, but I don't know how well that works. You might ask in that thread for more info.

I think he set the kernel to eventually work with a mic but for right now hes just set it up for future use, no mic yet.

If someone encounters something like a "sleep of death" and you're near a computer it would be helpful if you could post a logcat and kmsg.

i finally got my slow wifi problems fixed!

the reason was DroidWall (firewall) which has a known Bug with jellybean -> the log has to be turned on for whatever reason otherwise

wifi access is very slow

what was tricky that on my hashcode ROM backup i had this setting enabled but default it is OFF so when playing in TWA_privs ROM i had the mentioned problems

ANYWAY finally i can use this great ROM and the tablet status bar cause i think the google phone UI bar was a controversial decision by googe

Thanks twa_priv for this excellent ROM!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
Yes, I have had that happen to me also... was transferring files this morning and it went into sleep mode - had to hard re-set to get it back on..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The device not waking up when copying big files is a different issue. It's a kernel issue and also happens on hashcode's build.

Workaround: Use MTP or copy the files in TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
does everyone run their tabs with wifi off in sleep? any tried to leave wifi on at all times to see if this happens. I know its set to turn off in sleep by defualt with these later roms but i always just kept it on for notifacations and such and never had SOD'd, just random lock ups in browsers.

Using hash's rom right now to see if i get the same issues
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BizzaBoy:
I had similar issues over the last few ROMs (at least since 0913), where sometimes when you were supposed to enter text the keyboard would not pop up. This was all over the place. However with Facebook it seems to never pop up, so that could be something different.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jaegorith:
For me it was that the device wasn't updating the free space correctly. I used media device mode last night to delete a 2 gb .mp4 video, and then copy another video about the same size with the same name (I removed the subtitles). It wouldn't copy and said there wasn't enough space and that the device couldn't open this type of file (obviously not true, I watched part of it earlier in the day). I deleted other files like old TWRP backups, but still the same problem.

I rebooted the device, plugged it in the pc and the internal storage space was refreshed, allowing me to copy the file with no problem.

I'm using the latest build.

Restore data after install

Can anyone, please, tell, what should I do if I want to migrate from NRGZ28's CM9 Kernel 3.0 ROM?

I mean, is there any way of keeping the data (applications and their settings) on the device? Can I restore "Data" with TWRP after installation? Or can I only use Titanium Backup? Or maybe all this options are not recommended and for a really clean install I should do a full wipe and restore nothing?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
From cm9 I would do a clean install and restore only the data you absolutely need from titanium. Don't restore any to apps that you can just take the time to login and get all the data back and don't restore anything you don't really need. That will just give you a nice clean base. But once you are on CM10 you shouldn't have to wipe everything again for a long time. I have only ever wiped caches since moving to cm10
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ttakacs:
I just did that yesterday for a colleague's KF -- went from ICS ROM to twa's JB ROM. Here are the steps:

1. Download this ROM and the JB gapps to your sdcard's folder.

2. Boot into TWRP and select Backup and check the Data box just to backup Data (which also backs up apps). For safety's sake, you could decide to back up everything (System, etc.) -- that's up to you -- in case your dl'ed ROM is corrupted.

3. Return to TWRP's Home screen, select Wipe > Factory Reset; then Wipe > System.

4. Return to TWRP's Home screen and flash the ROM and gapps.

5. Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache.

6. Return to TWRP's Home screen, select Restore and then for the Package to Restore select the backup data you created in Step 2.

7. Finally, reboot the system and after a few minutes, enjoy your new ROM with your apps and data restored.

How can I change DPI for icons when I click to see all apps? Now I have all of my apps fits on 2 screen and before it was 5 screens. I can't find it(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Just installed the 2 new builds, 9/22 linaro and 9/23 non-Linaro.

The non-Linaro build seemed noticeably slower, didn't run any benchmarks but it just seemed slower. Even the bootanimation seemed slower. On the stock browser, there was lagging on websites such as CNN in desktop mode, some flash videos on CNN didn't actually load and run the first time. Had to try loading it a second time.

The Linaro build seemed faster than the non-Linaro but on the CNN site, while a bit faster lagged here too. Flash video on the site responded pretty much the same as the non-Linaro build but additionally, it hung and crashed to desktop.

On each of the builds, after having issues with the browser and closing it, basic actions on the homescreen like going to the app drawer, or bringing up notifications were sluggish. After a few seconds it went back to normal.

I just went back to my 9/20 nandroid and the browser is much better. I realize flash kinda' sucks on JB but it works pretty good on 9/20. Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Isn't it fun :)

I left the build.prop and kernel tweaks out of this build. But can't really see that excluding those has much of an effect (positive or negative). There were also no kernel changes (besides the additional schedulers) which could cause this.

There are, however, ongoing CM10 changes which of course might cause some issues.

I'm actually running another build now (with the tweak added back in) plus a cm frameworks/av commit that just happened. I'll post it soon in case you want to try.

Edit: Updated the OP with a newer 20120923-0329-Linaro build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] leswgnr:
I haven't tried the latest builds yet, but I have to agree about the 9/20 build. Almost every issue I had with flash, video, keyboard, ui fcs were all fixed in that build. By far, the stablest build since cm9 for me. Thanks Twa_priv. (and hashcode too, of course).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] saulob:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
:laugh: It is fun! I'm d/l the new Linaro now. I reinstalled the 9/22 Linaro and it seemed to settle down a bit and no crashes in the browser. I think I helped myself by changing plugins in the browser to on demand. The CNN site loaded faster and I was able to watch 2 vids on the first try.

Well, let's see how 9/23 Linaro goes. :D Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Been playing around with 9/23 Linaro and so far, so good. Stock Browser working well, no crashes and the flash vids from CNN playing on first try. I'm still gonna' keep the plugins on demand, as I think in general it will make for smoother browsing. Compared to my Touchpad running CM9, Chrome still seems a bit laggy, especially on this site.

Btw, no SODs since that first & only one a few builds back. ;) Thanks.

EDIT: Any recommendations for the Touchscreen Filter setting? I'm looking for a more precise, I guess tighter feel when swiping on my word games. I find as I swipe faster, my finger is just sliding over the letters and they're not being registered. I've tried 50 and 30, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Do you mean governors or the new schedulers? If you search the web, you'll find that there's lots of differing opinions on both the govs & the scheds. It would be nice if we here, could come to a majority consensus on what gov & sched works best for our KF on JB, as settings perform differently on different roms.

So far I've kept my Fire on Interactive gov and with this new build I tried the Vr & Noop sched but I haven't seen anything tangible as yet. Some info on the web suggests that Vr scheduler benchmarks well but isn't all that stable. Noop scheduler seems to get good reviews all around. I guess when I'm bored, I'll play around some more with the schedulers.

Gallery app in recent builds?

Gallery app no longer sees my Google online albums? Settings in Gallery shows a blank page, doesn't seem normal but honestly I've never needed to go there until this situation.

Anyone seeing anything similar before I start deleting data/caches and accounts?

Otherwise this ROM just became my daily driver a few days ago after using twa_priv's ICS ROM for a while now. For the above Gallery issue I can only say I noticed it on the 0920 and 0923 versions, up until then it was mostly several hours of testing any new ROMs and I never used the gallery for anything. And yes, I use Quickpic normally but my daughter likes the Gallery photo album widget so that's where I noticed it couldnt see my online albums.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
I remember in twa's ICS/CM9 build, gallery synch for online photos was disabled and all you needed to do was to enable it. I went to my JB/CM10 settings/google account/myaccountname, there is no setting for photos. I'm pretty sure this is where the setting should be.

Im using twa's JB/CM10/SGT7 +linario 0920 0330 build.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
I've had this problems with any JB rom i've tried (for my KF and my phone). JB merged the Camera and Gallery into one apk, which seems to have messed up the online sync. What I've done to work around it is add GalleryGoogle.apk from the last ICS gapps to /system/app, change it's permissions to match the other apks in that folder (rw-r--r-- I think), and reboot. Hope it helps.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
Typically yes, the latest kernel is included in the latest build from my experiemce. You might, every now and then, get a day lag when Hashcode releases a new kernel to when Twa_prv can update the ROM, but it's ususally updated pretty quickly.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

There have been AOKP based ROMs on the fire in the past, notably from Lithium76 (not sure about the 76 part, but I know the rest of his ID is Lithium). AOKP doesn't officially support the KF any longer, so someone would have to handle an unofficial build. AOKP JB is definitely running on multiple devices (I use it on my phone).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
Thanks. Tried, it too fails checksum.

Was able to dl the non linaro build from goo manager with no problem and its working well. Slightly better battery performance also, but since the 9-18 build, the battery doesn't last long if the device is (screen) is used much. Something in hash's kernal updates is making the screen eat battery life at a rate which is fast enough that i can see the % reducing right in front of me..

[Kindle Fire Android Development] G-diddy:
DITTO ON ROOT DIM. I'm pretty sure Screen Filter doesn't dim the backlight. Since the kindle's primary battery drain comes from its big, awesome screen, the best way to conserve you're battery life is to use a backlight dimmer. I like this one.

https://play.google.com/store//details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
Thanks. For all the replies. Ill give this one a try. How can one tell if something like screen filter, which I used a few months ago when my I forgot to charge my kindle keyboard, dims the backlight or not?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Twilla:
Yeah, it doesn't dim it. What it does is add a tinted filter on top of your screen. I think there are a few that do that with different colors, as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powerpoint45:
Its actually quite obvious if you have your backlight all the way up and you enable screen filter you notice your screen is gray. Also screen filter does not dim the status bar. One more thing, if you took a screenshot of your screen the image would be dark no matter the screen brightness which hints that it is just adding a coating of color over the screen. Sorry to be all technical n stuff... I guess that's just how am.
