[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Thanks tom...torrent mirror coming soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] alancai:
OMG!

Device: Enabled automatic brightness setting (requires backlight kernel below to be flashed in order work)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
I just flashed the new 5-05 update along with the experimental kernel and one issue I did find was in relation to the automatic brightness setting. The sensor seems to work to adjust backlight LED in accordance with the environmental light level but every time I tried hitting the 'Adjust' button, the Settings would FC. Thanks again for all your hard work :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
So the kernel will also work on chameleon OS?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
Yupp. Definitely!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wildguess:
Thanks a ot for your hard work, guys.

Here is another one, though:

1. Create a new user.

2. Log in as a user you just created.

3. Open Settings. The Settings app crashes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jaegorith:
This is happening to me too. Here is my log file from CatLog.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Not to sound dumb but where is the settings for the light sensor?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
In the brightness slider there should be an automatic brightness trigger?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Yeah, but there is no adjust button?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The Adjust screen crashes anyway because of missing auto brightness level configs - which I have no idea what values I should configure.

We need something like this to make the Adjust screen work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
I don't have my kindle with me, but when you go to settings/display/brightness

Is there a check box for automatic brightness.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooklynNY:
I've been having that same issue, and I thought it was possibly related to the fact that I froze plenty of apps & services. (See my post about how to do it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38749867 )
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wildguess:
I did not freeze any apps. I am experiencing it on the clean system with almost no apps except for the system ones and Gapps.

How do you activate the Power Widget/Menu on the Tablet StatusBar?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] alejflores94:
This is a minor thing but is really annoying. When you are using youtube, do your app ignore the autorotate disabling? I can't find a way to prevent youtube from autorotating! Just wondering if this is normal to everyone...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooklynNY:
Same problem here.. :confused::mad: Tried portrait & landscape, both ignored by yt app.

[Q] Kindle fire turning off

Hi Guys,

i have installed this ROM, and it is working just fine, but i noticed that some games that i played, the kindle just turn-off. I'm not sure if it is related to battery life or with the ROM itself.

I have already set performance to ondemand and 300~1008 Mhz.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zmore:
Yeah - this is an old problem with an old fix: Check out google play for one of the many free or paid "rotation lock" apps. WorksForMe.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooklynNY:
Thanx, this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker app works. If it would be possible for our devs to use this app's code for our ROM/kernel to enable a stronger rotation lock, it would be highly appreciated. :thumbup:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Moscow Desire:
If you have an issue with an app, yes, You Tube for example. It's best to post it in the Q and A forum. It's usually not rom related.

As I see, a workaround or two have already been posted. No reason to keep posting the same issue.

Like posting Facebook app issues here.

Thread cleaned.

Cheers,

[?] Need Help or Advise

Hi.

Whenever my kindle runs out of battery, the recently installed apps get's wiped out when i charge it :( . Sometimes it wont boot-up at all (Stuck in the Cyanogenmod Circle Bootup) I need to install a new ROM or re-flash from start just to make it work again.

Do you think it is ROM related or my Kindle memory is damaged already :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mthous01:
Note: If you backup your data using Titanium Backup paid version, you can create an update.zip from the backup, you can restore all of your apps from TWRP. I do this weekly just to keep a record of where my apps are.

One way to test would be to backup your Kindle via TWRP, backup your SD card partition to PC, Run the Kindle Nullifier v1.1 (READ THE ENTIRE THREAD, which is only a few pages, to ensure you understand all of the requirements when running) (runs a low level zero write format on the partitions), Wipe Internal SD, Wipe System/Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache, Restore your rom, restore your SD Card from PC.

If there is still an issue, Wipe System/Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache, and reinstall the rom/gapps from zip.

I've saved a couple of "Wonky" Kindle Fire's when using the Kindle Nullifier. Be sure to look later in the thread to download version 1.1, as 1.0 doesn't work correctly on the most recent roms.

[20130514]

* Compiled using Linaro's Android EABI GCC 4.8 toolchain for a change

* Device: New Audio driver [Hashcode]

* Framework: Quick app switch function for gesture navigation [sbrady]

* Settings: DPI Density Changer (Settings -> User interface -> DPI Density) [based on aokp/IceColdJelly42]

* Kernel: Linux 3.0.78

I started playing around a little with Android coding and added a DPI/Density settings page.

It updates the density in build.prop and will require a reboot. Note that all density settings above 160 I tested cause System UI errors - however, I personally kind of like 150.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
Alright! This is what I live for......updates :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] goldflame09:
installed the update. so far so good. have not encountered any problems so far.

good job. appreciate the work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Iguanadon:
Hell yeah :D time for a wife and reboob. lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
Have not updated for a while (its my son's tablet). Has the experimental kernel been mainstreamed? Looks like it has not given there is a 5/14 experimental kernel at the kernel link.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] goldflame09:
if you look in goo, there is an experimental kernel with today's date
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Hi Guys,

I need feedback on the new audio drivers (and I realize most users are using this build and not the official CM10.1 nightlies).

So I'll just monitor here instead :P

Things to watch for:

- Video / Audio sync

- Look for times where the video will speed up and then slow down

- Sound quality (this supports all of the latest JB-MR1 re-sampling for audio rates that our chip doesn't support

- Etc
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 404-Not Found:
I noticed that sometimes when I sent the Kindle to sleep and then wake it up the sound doesn't come back on unless I reboot. Other than that drivers are working quite fine although every now and then sound comes out a bit blurry.

Quick Update: When using earphones the sound is a little too loud even at the lowest setting, but I fixed by lowering the Equalizer at -9 all flat.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AliasCT:
Quick question; Does this update include the kernel with the backlight fix? If not, what order should everything be flashed in?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Iguanadon:
Seems louder right off the bat. I listen to iheart radio @ work and after update had to turn it down some. I'll be watching Netflix later and will report on vid/audio sync.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 404-Not Found:
I think its not fixed or included yet for this update but I flashed the ROM directly without clean flash or wipe, but I came from the CM RC2 to twa’s. Am not quite sure if this matters because I came from a very similar ROM but, I think a dalvik cache wipe after flashing will be it unless coming from a different ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
I still use the official as my usual driver.. Always just like to come and see what's new:p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Post #2 has changelog and a link to kernel changelog:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35537902&postcount=2
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabi0:
All in all feels snappier with the last update.

And the "shadow" on the lock screen ring now follows the finger accurately (but that's maybe earlier fix - I did not pay much attention to it recently).

I've got one issue though - the power button does not light up neither when turning on the Kindle nor when plugging the device to charge.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lincomatic:
Installing 5/14 build over 4/19 caused boot failure. I did a wipe and installed 5/14 again, and it works now, but charging is flaky. I have to unplug/plug the USB cable repeatedly to get it to charge, and it sometimes stops charging for no reason. When it stops charging, it will sometimes restart automatically, other times, I have to play w/ the USB cable.

Audio seems to be working fine, but I haven't played with it much yet. Is there something specific we should test?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Iguanadon:
No charging issues like mentioned in earlier posts. Referring to video audio sync, I only notice the usual for all builds I've tried. Video plays for about five seconds then pauses while audio plays then both sync and play fine till end. This is with Netflix as I have no video stored on device. I still get the occasional no audio thru speakers after headphones are unplugged. Seems only a reboot fixes this.

Great work to all.

*edit * this is install and wipe dev and cache. Not a clean install. Will do more testing later.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] portezbie:
Just tried out netflix, bsplayer and youtube.

I noticed a significant increase in volume and I don't notice any sync issues. If there is one, it's too minor for me to detect.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
I don't see a difference with audio although I only used the Scanner Radio app and Youtube
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
I don't listen/watch much but did notice that audio was delayed both with speakers and headphones (not out of sync - just no sound until several seconds of video had elapsed in Netflix)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Iguanadon:
That is the same delay I was speaking of... (The Netflix delay). It happens on every ROM I've tried so I'm guessing that its not related to hashes kernel ever how strange it is, given the audio rewrite and all. Been 24hrs and all is well.

Now on to just audio in general. It seems that maybe the audio is not just louder but maybe a calibration issue with the volume slider. Idk just a guess.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] alancai:
auto light works?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] That Baker Guy:
a few observations from the latest rom/test kernel

i have not exeperienced the netflix lag audio video sync and start at the same time.

i have the latest kernel from the link that supposedly supports the auto brightness. i seems to work sometimes.

i went to the play store and downloaded lux, a screen brightness control app. i have it set to read brightness everytime the screen turns on, i know this is a test kernel and it probably shouldnt work with this app but i thought i would give it a shot, it does not appear to read a brightness.

i then set to adjust dynamically, still no dice.

just thought i would throw out my experiences.

also i havent been around much have we gotten anywhere on the mic issue? such as for google now and google voice search?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] endlesssnowfall:
Yeah, I'm having the same problem as well. Currently running the experimental kernel that supposedly enables the ambient light sensor, but no app is able to able to detect or read any brightness, and nor can it find any sensors either.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Read back a few pages what [MENTION=3638028]twa_priv[/MENTION] says about ongoing development for auto brightness, and what [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] says about mic development. You can do an advanced forum search for both poster name and keywords to get more info as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
In the latest iteration I'm losing input selection - smart keyboard switches back to android - each time I reboot and seemingly randomly other times.

Edit: I've also been meaning to mention Yahoo Mail is not working on this rom (for quite a while). It will download my mail once or twice then I will have to clear data for it to work again (says "loading" forever).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] endlesssnowfall:
I've read nearly every single post in this thread since March, and all twa_priv has said about auto brightness is the following, so I'm not sure how this is applicable to the problem I'm having with auto brightness not even working and no sensor detected?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
That's because I forgot to include the backlight init.d script in the 20130514-1217 kernel. Sorry about that.

Re-uploaded... same filename, new md5sum is 35c9020da3b78b4bb06c8662128ebcea
[Kindle Fire Android Development] endlesssnowfall:
Thanks for the quick fix!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kheldarn:
G1 Kindle Fire user, here.

Audio is louder. No sync issues visiting YouTube via Dolphin browser. No sync issues when watching an MP4 video downloaded from YouTube on my desktop and transferred to my Kindle.

Everything was fine when listening to my local radio station's stream via TuneIn Radio Pro.

Sound has been fine in the few apps I've run since I flashed twa_priv's ROM last night.

If I get any issues, I'll report them here. Otherwise, odds are very high that I have none. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trafford Devil:
twa, is there any way you can get per app dpi settings into this rom?

but besides that yay tablet UI!!!

Just for the record - all UI changes like Tablet UI, removed Camera Widget etc. come from SGT7 and all credits go to sbrady, chirayudesai and the rest of the team.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Galadriel7966:
Question where is the tablet ui toggle located?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
That is one of the changes that Google made in 4.2; it was leaked and talked about for weeks before 4.2 actually dropped. Yeah, most of the world noticed before you, it is nice. :D :cool:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] collindv:
Settings - system - status bar, check tablet ui
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sharonbw:
It is the same size on both layouts. Can't imagine why so small. I'm guessing enough people will notice they'll eventually resize it.

QUESTION: Wasn't persistent menu button part of tablet ui ? Hope that comes back. Love these guys!!!!!!!

Anyone notice a temperature difference on this ROM, mine use to run at a cool 85 degrees F and very rarely broke past that, now it has hit 97°f and stays around 91°f.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
What is your CPU frequencies and governor set at? I'm running the same ROM right now with only the Battery Indicator app and the AOSP keyboard running in the background with max CPU frequency at 800 and min at 300 with hot plug governor and the current temperature is 81.5 :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] msparks311:
That could be the problem, I didn't even think of that, I've mine running on interactive and min/max is 300/1200, I'm going to tune it down a bit and see how if I can chill it Down, thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Nice having tab ui in 4.2, thanks twa. Noticed a minor glitch in the notifications bar in tab ui when you bring it up. The settings icon will "pop up" directly underneath the open notifications icon, doesn't come up immediately, takes about 5-10 seconds....weird.

Thanks,

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zaphon:
You can fix it by removing the Terminal Emulator and re-installing it from the Play Store. Of course you will have to connect to it via ADB to remove it (/system/app/Term.apk). It's affecting all my devices (d2spr, toro, manta, and otter), and simply removing and re-installing fixed it. I'm pretty sure it's related to a commit from a couple days ago regarding the Terminal Emulator.

After a few hours of usage, I report the same... The video/audio sync works great for Youtube, mp4 video, Pandora, TED, Dailymotion.

Also experiencing the same volume improvement in audio.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
That post you quoted was what I meant. It seemed then to be a work in progress, but I see the init.d now in the new ROM update, so let's see.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] msparks311:
Just curious, is there a way to make the screen 10 point touch instead of 2?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
2 touch points are the result of a hardware limitation in the Kindle Fire / Fire 2's touchscreen controller. As far as I can tell, there is no way to add more touch points.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
On the 5-14 release, I just had a series of FCs when attempting to expand the Settings panel (tablet status bar). It would initially pop up with the time, date and WiFi info but trying to expand from there caused System UI FCs......4 or 5 in a row. That's the first time I can recall a twa_priv ROM doing that. It is a minor quirk and really that's the only issue I have experienced so far. Of course I don't have a logcat, it seems everytime I try doing a logcat, NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN! Lol

All in all, this update is awesome as always and the extra bells and whistles are a nice touch.

Free up more RAM on CM10.1 ???

Hi guys,

First of all thank you twa_priv for all your effort on JB rROM for kindle-really loving it !!!

I have a problem with free RAM.Alot of games are crashing on JB due to lake of RAM while it is working just fine on stock ROM.I know that JB requires more RAM but is there anyway to minimize RAM used for JB ? I got about 260 MB free on stock while the maximum on JB is 200 MB (after killing launcher app while game is launching !!)

I have also tried swap which made some games works but it was terribly slow and I have heard it affects your memory on long term.

I know those replies already-please don't post it again ! ( impossible request/a noob dreaming!/this is your device maximum abilities,Face it !/go back to stock! ) and so.

I have also heard about moving cache to SD using A2SD but I don't know how it works?/Is it really useful for low RAM?/Will it be harmful like swap ?

Really appreciate positive replies and waiting for XDA geniuses help here ! (They already helped me to get a lot from my Kindle Fire already!)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Lavrentsii:
Have you tried Greenify?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
Alright....I flashed the new 5-17 update and was playing around and finally figured out that the FCs when expanding the Settings panel in tablet mode status bar ONLY occurs when the date is tapped...not on clock...not in empty area....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] runningman04072013:
Woohoo. Loving the frequent updates. Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Works for me. If I click on the date in the settings panel the calendar opens fine.

What does a logcat say?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
Nevermind me lol....I figured it out. I deleted the calendar from the system so it would motivate me to make something in Python for calender features.

On a side note....the sound is loud and clear :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I wonder if maybe the sound volume isnt too loud now :P

I kicked on a video the other day and actually needed to pause it, and turn down the volume (I had it maxxed for some reason).

twa_priv: I see you have stylon's light sensor patch in your kernel.

In mine, I'm using a cleaned up version, which registers slightly differently.

Last night, I wrote the sensor HAL interface for it, but realized that the kernel driver needs to be the same across the kernels using the HAL.

I should probably patch stylon's changes into mine. Then, I'll push the new changes. I think that should keep everything mostly compatible.

What do you think?
