[Kindle Fire Android Development] DigitalJedi:
I had the screen off freezing thing going on for a while. It would happen multiple times a day. All I had to do was hold the power button for 10+ seconds to reboot. Still, I wanted it to stop.

After tinkering with different apps for a while, I noticed that turning off CPU profiles in ROM Toolbox made the bug happen only ever 2-4 days instead of multiple times a day. Also, uninstalling Juice Defender and setting up a Tasker profile to kill data when the screen was off seemed to help make it even less frequent. I think that issue is mostly due to problems with how certain apps act on the KF. Lesson: don't over-tweak the ROM. After using this ROM for a few weeks now I can honestly say that there is no need for tweaks that improve battery life. The battery life is already stellar.

Maybe this will help someone else that is having that issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] igotgame:
I wish it was something simple. I've just installed the rom and gapps fresh and not installed anything else and it still freezes with the screen off. I am using COTR, but I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with it. It's just weird that the KF I am using right now has no issues at all and works great with this rom, the other KF has freezing issues on any Android rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Can everyone having issues try the older build without the 3.071 kernel?

Tom you think that will make a diff?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I have no idea if the kernel will make a difference - but anyway, I uploaded new kernels to goo.im, one of them a vanilla cm kernel build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] igotgame:
Funny you uploaded that vanilla cm kernel because I am currently testing the latest CM nightly and so far so good (no freezing with screen off) on this KF that's been giving me issues. One change I made to this KF was disable the lock screen just like on my other KF that's been working perfectly on this rom. Maybe using a lock screen had something to do with it... At this point I'm trying everything.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Don't make two changes at once if you want to figure out what the real root cause it (kernel or something else).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] igotgame:
Yea I didn't turn the lock screen off initially, but it hung when unlocking it once and I had to force reboot. The screen did come on and everything though so it wasn't a "black SOD", but I thought maybe I should turn that slide to unlock off and see what happens. If it wakes up in the morning like it should, then I may turn the lock screen back on to test.

So far, on the latest CM nightly, no black SOD for this stubborn KF. My other KF just runs this rom flawlessly. Amazing how 2 of the same device can act so different.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Was having some lag so decided to do a clean install of 4-8 with 4-17exp kernel. Set to Rowe scheduler.best performance I have ever has with this ROM... Glad to have row available...would love lulzactiveq but not necessary... Thanks T.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pk74:
Mine started doing the SOD about a week ago. No changes, it just suddenly started doing it.

Getting ready to install the latest version now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pk74:
upgraded to lastest, wiped cache/dalvik, everything seems OK 12 hours in. I'll keep an eye on it. My wife uses it more than I do, I asked her to try to keep track of if she presses the power button to put it to sleep, or just lets it time out..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Buffet_of_Lies:
Perhaps this has been answered already but why is the CM startup spinny-thing video messed up for a while during startup? I also get a "Clock has stopped working" error, no big disaster. The new kernels, vanilla and experimental builds, seem to result in "Trebuchet has stopped working" messages as well.

EDIT/UPDATE: Okay so thanks for the answer about the intro video. I fixed my other problem about the Clock by going into Manage Apps and Clearing Data for the Clock. Reverted back to a backup and installed the latest version and the latest gapps and no problems so far.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
The boot animation glitch has never been fixed by CyanogenMod. It is not a #gamestopper or a #realworldproblem. I turn boot animation off and my KF boots in half the time. #win

The other issues, I have never seen nor seen reported till now.

Nope, still have the sod issue. It was at 100% this morning, I unplugged it and didn't use it all day. Picked it up to check on it 10 hours later, and it was frozen. Battery was down to 73%.

Should I try the vanilla kernel?

* Compiled using GCC 4.8 toolchains [Thanks to SaberMod / Paul Beeler]

* Settings: Always show development and performance options [sbrady]

* Framework/Settings: Trebuchet app drawer quick setting tile [sbrady]

* Kernel: Linux 3.0.74

The first change (gcc 4.8) probably qualifies to call this a test/experimental build. Let's see how it goes and what issues pop up:)

Would this build make any difference for those of us who have SOD issues from pretty much any rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
There are only a handful of you having that issue, so one of you will have to try it to answer that question. If all four, five, six of you wait for the other, we will never know. :cowboy:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] igotgame:
Ok.. I've made a nandroid and am testing it out. One thing I noticed, and this may be normal, but SuperSu was missing from the apps.

Update:

Well that didn't take long.. Still black SOD when it went to sleep. I'm using COTR as recovery...I don't think that makes a difference, but is there a CWM for kindle fire? TWRP doesn't work right.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pk74:
What version of TWRP are you on? Mine seems to work OK..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] igotgame:
I've tried 2.4.4 and 2.5... neither worked right
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DigitalJedi:
I flashed the kernel update a couple of days ago and haven't had a SOD since. I've also uninstalled Juice Defender and ROM Toolbox completely. It was perfect timing because I'm selling my KF to a friend now (ordered a Nexus 7 yesterday :) ) I'm going to clean flash the latest build of this ROM before selling it.

To those that have that issue, good luck. For me it was just an issue with certain apps I suppose and MAYBE something in the older kernel I had at the time.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kheldarn:
So far, setting the screen timeout from 1 min. to 2 min. has worked for me. I'm still using the cm-10.1-20130408-0112-otter-sgt7 ROM.

I have a different issue - i seem to have messed up my dock. The home screen seems to overlap it. Ive checked through all the settings I could find.. What am I missing?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
I've basically fixed all of my HTC One V phone issues and many weird things happening on my Kindle Fire (running this ROM) by uninstalling Google+. They both perform much better now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loCe45:
Yeah, G+ caused a wakelock on my Sony LWW and drained a battery in couple of hours :mad:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pk74:
I don'thave google+ installed.. havent used it with this rom..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wmdragon:
How long dose it take to install the rom been over 10 mins so far and still have the CyanogenMod loading screen or did I do something wrong
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
Did you factory reset in TWRP before installing the ROM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wmdragon:
Thanks a step I forgot to do now it working

[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
TO ANYONE HAVING SOD:

Please Humor me for just one day, because I am having a hunch here...

Stock Governor and Scheduler? Do me a favor before wiping - try switching between interactive and ondemand, and switch to noop scheduler, and underclock to 1008...

twa_priv - I have donated another $10 to you.

I know its not much, but I don't have much... so I want to, again, show my appreciation for what you have done for our device, and I ask everyone else using this ROM - HOW MUCH MONEY HAS THIS ROM SAVED YOU? It has saved me for over a year from having to buy a new device. I do plan on switching to a new device soon, but not because of the OS, moreso because the 7" screen is becoming increasingly too small for me.

So, please donate $5-10 to this guy who does this all for you for free to show your appreciation.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kheldarn:
I have no idea what any of that means. What I do know is that since I changed my screen timeout from 1 min. to 2 mins., things have been working fine.

I had to switch my OS to a different partition, so I've had a couple of odd behaviors since.

I ended up uninstalling all the drivers, then manually pointing the Amazon Kindle Fire to the winusb driver in the kindle utility pack.

Then reboot the pc and the kindle, when I finally did it in that order, it was working as normal.

Help! Wont sleep!

Hi, Ive been running this ROM for two days, and just an thou ago, the most alarming problem began occurring. When I lock the screen, instead of turning off, the screen flashes a white bar on the right side of the screen and turns black--but not off. Almost as if I had a large picture of pure black that I filled the screen with, as the backlighjts stays on and bleeds through it. It still wakes up find and everything is still operating smoothly. Any one have an idea of what's going on and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I turned down the brightness and it worked again! :) If anyone else is experiencing this problem, just turn the brightness down from 100% before you put it to sleep.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
What build version are you on? Did you do a full wipe of /system /data and /cache prior to install? Are you on the vanilla kernel? This problem was previously solved, that is why I ask...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] stylon:
I fixed this a while ago, but it looks like Hashcode didn't yet find the time to add my patch to the kernel. It's a race condition on the PWM clock code for the backlight. Actually, you can "sort of" fix it by turning down the backlight below 100% as then the screen at least turns black, but I noticed that it still won't turn off the screen completely. I'm sure that's where some unexplained battery drainage comes from. My fix should fix both.

[MENTION=3638028]twa_priv[/MENTION]: as I didn't try this ROM, do you use Hashcode's stock 3.0.50 kernel? Maybe you can just take the backlight patch of my kernel sources at https://github.com/stylon and give it a try.

Best,

STYLON

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Iguanadon:
Flashed new kernel, no wipe and everything is fine. If brightness is 100% I get a white line flash on right side then screen goes black like its supposed to. Thank you
[Kindle Fire Android Development] StarkCity:
Been on the new build for a few days. I had already read about the backlight issue so I knew what to expect. Although, for me, allowing it to sleep itself, I have no backlight problem. Only by pressing the power button to sleep it do I get the problem. Everything else is good as always. Three days, light use.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
The exact same behavior as without stylon's fix for some reason - at least for me there's no difference. The device goes into deep sleep even with 100% brightness.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] stylon:
What exactly is the "black screen problem"? My patch may cause the bootanim to appear late, so the display is black initially. Depending on wether you wiped clean your device it may take longer too boot the first time and seems dead, but adb works already. In the kernel code it looks as if someone had tried to fix that and then introduced the race condition I mentioned.

Best,

STYLON

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

I'm also using a CM10.1, but compiled a ROM myself and there I don't see any white line on the right. Turning backlight on and off on battery caused no problems for me before, but connected to power, brightness set to 100% and turned off by the power button that 3.0.50 kernel does not turn off backlight. Instead it turns off the display, but the backlight stays bright at 100%. With it set slightly below 100% it seems to go off, but you can check the settings in /sys/.../backlight/ that it's still on. The kernel messages also clearly show the race condition saying it can't turn off the clock source twice. With my patch applied it turns off as expected (sometimes may take 1-2 seconds), and the kernel stays silent.

Did you try this also connected to power? Maybe I'm wrong with the drainage, but if the backlight stays on (without my patch) it causes the KF to charge slower for me.

Best,

STYLON
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JimmyHACK:
Stylon,

Trying to follow the patch discussion. If I am right, then your patch solves the the 100% problem and we won't get stuck unable to turn on/off kindle?

Reason I ask is I am about to take parents kindle they are giving to a friend and make it CM so they have the experience they are used to from their nexus 7. So this rom looks pretty serious bug free with the addition of your patch. Just want to flash this rom with your fix to it and never see device again :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] stylon:
Hi twa_priv,

just found the time to test your ROM -/+ experimental kernel. For me the fix works. Without the fix, brightness 100% and connected to power and the KF sent to sleep via button it doesn't turn off the backlight (if you turn it slightly down, it only looks like it works then). The regular time-out sleep seems to work, but only because it turns down the brightness before. In any case you'll see kernel messages like this:

<3>[ 18.290252] omap_timer omap_timer.10: omap2_dm_timer_set_src: clk_set_parent() to sys_ck FAILED

Here, the driver complains about the race condition and as a result stops doing anything to change the backlight clock. On the experimental kernel (containing the fix) you don't see those messages and the backlight turns off as expected. However, it sometimes takes 3-5 seconds on this ROM, whereas plain CM10.1 does it <1 second, but that's possibly due to some differences in wake_locks.

The rewritten ambient light sensor driver is also active in the experimental kernel. Thanks, twa_priv to add that one, too :good:. For those who want to play around with it:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/lightsensor-level/enable

cat /sys/devices/platform/lightsensor-level/lux

Repeat the last line to read lux values again. And don't forget to shed some different levels of light onto the sensor, of course :).

For the sensor to work from Android we still need to route it through the Android SW layers. Does anyone know who's an xda-dev expert on that?

Best,

STYLON
