You might look at the Google voice typing in the Language and input settings. Trying unchecking that. I've tried unchecking this to fix a 3rd party keyboard issue but it won't stay unchecked..but may stay checked long enough for you to troubleshoot your Square issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] old_pocket:
O.K. Thanks. Seems that I was on this version already.

I installed an even newer version from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1774336,

but without much improvement. Now I went back to the newest ROM based on the old kernel (0828):

much better. Not perfect using these sort of videos (also some lags, and sudden stops in playback),

but allover much better: no more browser crashes or even system halts.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Didnt expect to see this much improvement over the ICS rom I was using.

Stuff loads much faster. Netflix crashed once on first load, but has been fine since.

Only odd thing if anything so far is audio from Netflix is a bit louder than usual. Even at 15% volume or so once a video is about to play I get some really loud pops, gets me scared my ear drums are going to blow once the sound starts, but then it's fine.

Also audio is perfectly fine when loading up stuff like xhamster.

Many thanx good sir.

Only minor concern now is I almost always browse the desktop in landscape, and setting wallpapers can be annoying as it seems to insist on making me set it as if I have 3 horizontal screens.

I even set launcher to 1 screen and still behaving this way.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
That link appears to be the same version number as the one I linked to.

I will keep this thread updated if my lag issues resurface.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
Thanks. Ill test it tonight.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
Stupid question, but.....

How do you get Nova Launcher to put the dock on the side in landscape mode? I updated to the latest beta as someone had mentioned that's how it was, but its still on the bottom.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Btw, I have the OS set for tablet mode. I really dislike phone mode, even on a phone.

Would I need to wipe my apps if I was upgrading from hashcode's JellyBean ROM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] StarkCity:
Just to share, because some people wonder. You can dirty flash back and forth from Alien 2.0 because its based on this. I'm not sure about any other ROMs. Also, with normal use, I've been able to squeeze 2 days out of the battery with multiple social sites pushing notifications.

Does anyone have issue to sync photos using Gallery? Mine only shows local albums but no online photos.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Tbbo514:
now what sucks is the orange light comes on but it still says discharging, i know about the charger issue, iim just saying it sucks ..but the rom is nice love it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Aesrys:
I believe that's a JB issue because the camera and the gallery got merged into one apk. I get around it by doing the following:

1. Get GoogleGallery.apk from the last ICS gapps (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip) - Should be in the /system/app folder

2. Copy that file over to my KF

3. Put the file in /system/app

4. Change the file permissions to match the other apps in the folder (I think it's rw-r--r--)

5. Reboot

I use ES File Explorer to do steps 3 and 4. To change permissions, long-hold the file until the menu appears, choose Properties. On the Properties screen, there is an option to change permissions.

Hope that helps.

Seems only when I've gone to tumblr sites with ALOT of photos on it. the kind that doesnt make you page over but just keeps loading and loading.

I leave it in desktop mode. Ive been to a handful of sites where links just wouldnt work, figured it was just the site and moved along.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
there is a picasa app on the market for free that will sync it all for you. much easier

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

mine is on forums when replying. sucks when your 3 paragraphs in and then CRASH!

wondering if its a java issue because one forum in particular i got so frustrated i turned off java in dolphin to try but the entire site was run with it so i had to turn it back on.

firefox kind of sucks on the KF and the stock browser is okay, but i loves me some dolphin
[Kindle Fire Android Development] carlinflorida:
i don't have sound with the August 31 build. In a few days i will update and if that does not work i will do a full wipe and install.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dadeo1111:
I really like Dolphin - it played well with my LastPass - but was having similar issues as you and problems with Flash. I tried Firefox and Maxthon. Maxthon was worse, force closing a lot - unusable. Firefox was pretty bad when I tried it a couple of months ago, but it's got a few updates since that has made it much better. It's faster and never FCs for me any more. You should give Firefox another shot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
i was last night

Im noticing I also have to swap keyboards to swype because in the browsers the keyboards are so laggy and make the browser just become slugs. its not this rom as i was using another before and switched because of this issue among others.

I have almost been debating on going back to cm7 and starting from scratch there as its was just so stable. Wish TI would release an update so we can get a more stable build/kernel on our end. I havent followed the KF main info since i rooted but has amazon even offered up any kind of good updates or did they basically say "**** this" to the KF1 with the assumption we're all made of money and can just go out and get KF2's in a few months?

not trying to sound rude but I feel bad as i was motherfuking my KF up and down last night in front of my poor GF who bought it for me as a Vday gift lol. Def not the devs fault here as they are amazing pros at what they do but was just curious if amazon themselves cares about the device anymore.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
The kindle fire was made to make money for Amazon through book sales and tv/video subscriptions. The tablet sold for a below market price to encourage people getting on board with Amazon. What we are doing here is skirting around its intended purpose. Therefore, I do not ever expect Amazon to offer any sort of advanced support for what we are doing. Ti, on the other hand, has nothing to lose, so offering instruction sets for their cpu is normal.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] freestylejunki32:
Here is a logcat of one of the system lags/freezups that i am getting about every 3 mins now even after a full wipe of system and everything on the latest rom. I am not sure what i am looking for in there but i thought you might be able to use it. I was in the settings tab when it was starting to lag then went to the homescreen (using apex launcher) then tried to open chrome browser and look at the xda website.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
yeah and from reading that is what would be needed to make a nice kernel, i may be incorrect though. when i was referring to amazon offering up an update i was actually referring to an amazon update that may have had a TI update built in there somwhere. I could have been more specific sorry.

wish i knew how to code but i just dont have the attention span for it, I BARLEY passed my coding courses in college and those were only VB and C+

closest to coding I can do is web design lol and minor PHP< even gave up on that after a bit.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Amazon created a limited Android os for what they needed. Clearly, the hardware is capable of more. With their next release, I would be surprised if they actually offered a full tablet os, but if their marketing research says they should, then they will, although the price would be closer to market price.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ttakacs:
I am regularly getting crashes on the stock browser when replying -- so it may not be just a dolphin issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dadeo1111:
I had the same mental debate and after looking at what's out there now, I have went back to the latest gede rom as of this morning. I love jb but it's just too buggy and hard on my battery right now. I will be watching for it to stabilize and jump back in, but for now I'm back on ics. If I have trouble here, I'll try a cm7.

Which would be the best cm7 now? Anyone still using and have a fave?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
i would go back to the hellfire cm7

Only problem is that you cant use your titanium backed up apps. you have to start from scratch because most have updated past cm7 workability.

Trust me i attempted a while ago and ended up back on ICS then up to JB.

I dont even have that many apps really.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
New build is up:

20120905-1738-Linaro (Alternate download)

Changes

* Hashcodes latest kernel changes

* Latest SGT7 / CM10 changes

* Notable SGT7 changes:

** Make all of the global actions selectable in settings

** Add search bar divider option

** Optionally hide all apps button from search bar in tablet mode

** Restore search bar function and remove unused strings

** Restore page indicator, scroll wallpaper, and join widgets with apps

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

I also uploaded a vanilla build:

It is pure CM10, no linaro, no SGT7, completely based on hashcode's local manifest (with the exception of using hashcode's p-android-omap-3.0 kernel branch which includes hist latest kernel commits from today). This build should be exactly the same as a CM10 build from hashcode would be.

People who have issues and are willing to spend some time debugging/isolating issues are welcome to flash it to see if the problem is also present in a vanilla build.

You should be able to flash this build on top of a sgt7 build - however, it probably would be better to do a full wipe if debugging/testing if issues are kernel/device related or not.

I also suggest to make a backup first before flashing this build.

Cheers

Is there a way to add a open drawer button on the navigation bar?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I don't think so - but you can use the home and/or back button to open the drawer (settings -> launcher -> drawer).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vbdss:
yeah, just found about it. thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
The newest update doesn't lag and freeze after heavy web surfing. I'm guessing hascodes fix for omaplfb solved the issue
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Question of the year for me. Seems it depends on the ROM and the launcher. I think Nova has mentions of a toggle for this as a request in the thread, meanwhile I'd like more info on this myself. To be clear in case I misunderstand you: I want to run Nova in landscape mode with twa_priv's JB ROM in tablet status bar mode but I want the dock vertical on the right.

I found setting a double-tap gesture in Nova to toggle the dock off and on works just right for me in twa_priv's ICS ROM, but recent versions of the JB ROM move the dock to horizontal mode when landscaped. I imagine I might be able to fiddle with the dpi but with the NFL season starting any minute now I won't have time :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] evo_like:
Thanks for the newest build twa_priv. So far, so good. I was having a lot of fc's on the previous version browser too, but none in this so far.

smooth and lag free, and I am on the stock trebuchet launcher still. :)

Can anybody tell me what the touchscreeen filter level setting does? (settings>advanced>touchscreen filter level)? TIA.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jamminjon82:
Personal experience,full wipe helps with new update. gained 700 on antutu
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The Antutu results very much depend on the Antutu version.

Versions prior to 2.9.1 report scores in the 5500's or so, v2.9.1 scores are in the 6700's and v2.9.2 scores are about 200 points lower than v2.9.1 :)

In other words - if you compare benchmarks make sure you always use the same Antutu version.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Awesome!

Been playing around with the new CM10 vanilla build for the last few hours and I have to say...WOW! So far, this is a great build! I haven't been using my KF much over the last few days but yesterday with the last new kernel build, I was getting crashes in the browser. It generally happened when using Google Now and going to the box score of my local baseball team in MLB. This would result in it rebooting to the boot anim, happened twice.

Also, experienced an odd battery issue where I was playing a game and the battery was at 81%. I played the game for over an hour and the percentage never moved, when I exited the game my KF locked up. When I did a reboot, the percentage was at 68%, which seems right as the game does hog battery.

Getting back to this new build, it actually feels like a manufacturer's release but with more user freedom. :) It feels really smooth, polished and to this point works really well. I did a complete wipe before installing, flashed both the rom and gapps, then reinstalled all my apps fresh from Play Store.

Only things I noticed was that initially, Google Now force closed, turns out it had to be updated in Play Store and it works great. Also, Rom Manager is in the rom zipfile, I just deleted it. One last thing was that the rom has the "old" su binary that causes multiple permission requests from superuser.Updating the su binary from within superuser fixes it. As I said earlier, to this point this seems like a super build, much appreciated twa.

EDIT: Antutu v2.9.2 gave me a score of 6052, kinda' low compared to the 6700s I was getting with prior builds. But this build is so smooth, I really don't care.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] kitsunisan:
Just got my Nexus 7, going to give my Fire a few more runs before I decide what to do with it. Installing the update now, going dirty first, then I'll wipe and start fresh to compare.

One thing I keep forgetting to ask, in TWRP when I flash a rom I get "E: Cannot load volume /misc", happens every time, but doesn't do any harm. Did I miss a step rooting this or is it pretty much normal?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:

Thought I'd report that I was one of the users having wifi disconnect (or more appropriately re-connect) issues. Flashed the 9/5 build and did nothing else, and my problem is resolved. Wifi wakes with the device and reconnects quickly, so many thanks. I don't do all that much with my Fire in the first place so may not uncover all that others will, but that was the final issue I'd hoped to see resolved. I absolutely love what my Fire has become. Thanks to all involved!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
You are correct regarding what I was asking. I almost stuck with the default launcher just to have the dock on the side while in landscape mode, but after using Nova for so long, I just find the both the old default and the new one, so limiting.

I only need Saturdays for football since I don't care for the NFL but despite their pathetic showing against Alabama, I need my "Go Blue" fix :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] evo_like:
Yes that is normal.

Jelly Bean incorporated Gallery into the Camera app as one apk now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
I tried the STG7 and the vanilla builds from 9/5 and Setting force close every singe time I try to install TouchPal keyboard. This means I can't install the keyboard. I did a full wipe before installing both. I did not restore any apps. The only thing I did before trying to install TouchPal is flash the latest Gapps for Jelly Bean.

Also, I'm using the vanilla build to type this message in the stock browser using the stock keyboard and it can't keep up with my typing. It started out with severe lag, but by the time I got to this sentence it seems to have caught up and has been keeping pace with me. When I first started typing his post it would lag so bad that letters I typed wouldn't register.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Works fine for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] deejayzee:
there's a problem with shortcuts in the last two builds, they not appear on the homescreen after installing an app from market, also placing shortcut from within an app don't work, it is necessary by FPse users
[Kindle Fire Android Development] waffull:
I've been on the new build for a couple of hours now and its a huge improvement. I have Songza running in the background. Been able to have 3 tabs open in Dolphin without it crashing. Many fewer taps go unrecognized. No idea of battery life yet. I read the mic input is almost there, really looking forward to that, ill just have to figure out how to make calls with my Google voice #.

Anyway, thank you Hash and twa, this is a GREAT build with significant improvements in 'butteryness' ;)

Thank you(and Hashcode ofc) for vanilla build. This is what i need :)

Amazon Kindle Fire - CM10
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
I don't get it. I wiped and downgraded to the 8/31 build and TouchPal installed without any problems!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
installed last night a played a little bit before paranormal witness came on and i had to put it down :silly:

seems better in the browser. did look this morning before work and battery drain in sleep very almost non existant but after a fresh install all roms in ICS and JB seem to hold charge but as time goes on it seems they start to drain more and more.

this one seemed a lot nicer tho all around for what i did play with. I will try to hit some of the forums and such that were causing crashes

one in particular was the raspbmc official forum. Bought a Pi and have been playing with that too.

very nice, owe you guys a shoulder rub! :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] old_pocket:
I am having still the same flash problems with the 0905 as with the 3108. The system completely crashes e.g. after playing 0:50 min. from the first video above. Lags / stuttering scrolling in xda pages using xScope which is normally extremly smooth concerning scrolling... Again I will go back to the 0828 version.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
All of my lag issues returned as well. My Kindle must have been teasing me when it started behaving after I updated the Flash apk.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I'm not using flash so I can't comment - but it might just be that flash has issues on JB.

It might also be a good idea to install hashcodes CM10 build he posted yesterday in his thread and see if you hit the same issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pelata:
Sorry if is it already asked but I flashed the latest release following the instruction in the first page.

How can I access to the applications list?

I see only the icons back, home and tasks... no menù bar!!!

Sorry, I found it in the dock settings...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imtoomuch:
I agree that the lagging issues are probably Flash! I don't understand TouchPal not working though.

Thanks! I'll try his ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tedr108:
I flashed the 7/18 ROM with the 7/11 Gapps last night after a full wipe, and Google Now is running fine for me. Personally, I'm getting a kick out of Google Now ... it is making my devices more useful (or at least more convenient).

google now is working for me too

rom 18-07

[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
I prefer version numbers, very simple to keep track of and refer back to if necessary when troubleshooting issues. That's all!

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vita10gy:
Problem is this is based on CM10, which doesn't use version numbers*. If he made up a non-date scheme, we'd all just be wondering when the build was pulled for upstream stuff, and whatnot.

The only thing that would maybe make sense is if he made another one today and called it 20120718-Build4.

*Well, obviously they DO, since that's what the 10 is, and there's versions of CM7. But just making up our OWN scheme would cause more confusion than it solved.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
So you're saying that most of the CM9 ROMs are confusing people with version numbers?

Anyway it doesn't really matter what way you do it. With the date you can easily tell exactly which one is the newest and when it was built. With version numbers, unless the dev includes dates, it can sometimes be difficult to find the ROM from a specific date.

However, with version numbers, it's quite easy to refer to a ROM. You can say v1.3 instead of 20120718. Honestly it doesn't really matter and it's just whatever the dev prefers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
My builds have the date + time (YYYYMMDD-hhmm) in the file name - it can also be seen in Settings -> About tablet -> CM Version,
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
I understand where you're coming from but in my experience with the Touchpad on CM7/CM9 and the Nook Color on CM9, initially they both had Alpha releases with incremental version numbers.and with each update, resolved issues or added features were noted in the OP. Once the roms progressed, certain devs started releasing unofficial nightlies and in the case of the Touchpad, official nightlies from CM.

And quite frankly, unless you're building or devving, you don't need to know what was "pulled in the upstream stuff", just what may have been fixed or added in the release.

Anyway, thanks for your input but I'd like to hear twa's take on this. Either way, it's certainly not a dealbreaker.
