Depending on what you had set when setting up the device, Google Play will restore all of the apps you had installed the last time you logged in. So it is possible.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Good point ... but that also means he had to do the inital setup again, which should ring a bell :)

However, I had in the past a few rare occurences where no homescreen icons were displayed (never was able to reproduce it at will though and therefore can't say what exactly triggered this). But simply changing the device orientation brought the icons back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
If I remember correctly, "Restore my account" is selected by default, so unless the user is of the rare type that actually pays attention to what they are doing, it's still a pretty good possibility.

Then again, I have also had this happen to me, so who knows...

I don't know if anyone had power drain issues with the April 1st version, but here are some stats from today. Heavy usage ensued this past three hours, with opera, Tapatalk, Bible primarily being the choice apps. Two nights ago I left the WiFi on overnight, and I think it was more than the usual 0.5% an hour. I have not changed any cpu settings.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] larryf:
I didn't do the initial setup, just rebooted the device and everything came back. I don't recall if I changed the orientation, but I put it to sleep several times and still couldn't get the icons back.

If nothing else, this will make me do a current backup before every upgrade :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Just updated to the 4/8, and I don't think i updated since Feb or something.

Is it normal now, or am I missing a setting. I remember when in landscape going through Settings, it would have the main menu on the left side, and the right would be the sub categories.

It seems to treat it more like I believe portrait was where I just get the full screen of the sub categories instead of still keeping the Settings root sections on the screen.

Anything else I should need to know? I see a lot more gestures options and something about PIE.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
First off, earlier poster with battery drain, do a full wipe and flash newest build.

Most recent poster...read up... Don't post here to ask what things are, it is all readily available in this thread and Google re-dual pane prefs and pie
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Depending on point of view, you are the most recent poster.

Thanks for the dual pane keywords. And pie was a bit loose with a bunch of key lime pie references, so I will assume it has to do with keylime pie navigations. Even though it's a whole new version with I'm sure several different features.

Side note, having followed this rom from day1 and reading all the posts up until last I was here, I find it just a touch easier to ask a simple question, then spend a few hours going through 2 months of posts, many of which will be bug reports or problems that would have been addressed by now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jma9454:
Here are hopefully some helpful pictures that can get you on the right track. Dual pane preferences are the found under the last option in settings. Pie settings are found also under settings. Here's what it looks like.

Key lime pie is the rumored android 5 OS name, and has nothing to do with pie settings. There is also an app for full pie control, demonstrated in one of the following pictures. You can find the link about 2 pages earlier.

--- edit---

Well, Tapatalk 4 beta is having trouble with uploading. I switched back to HD, but it FC's every time I try to access the forums. So unfortunately there won't be any pictures.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Many thanks. No need for the 100% spoonfeed. Once I knew dual-pane was the keyword, I found it.

Hmm, still need to play with this. Set pie to right border, then increased height/distance and seemed to trigger much better.

Then came to the conclusion I couldnt use P, L or just the very left edge of backspace on Thumb Keyboard.

Also, does Expanded desktop/Status bar visible work? Doesn't seem to make a difference. Is that just a hold over from phones?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sbradymobile:
You have to trigger the expanded desktop with either the power menu option, a gesture navigation shortcut, or a status bar timeout. If you are using the default (phone style) status bar with navigation bar then it will only hide the navigation bar when you trigger expanded desktop. If you are using the tablet status bar then nothing will be hidden when you trigger expanded desktop unless you choose the status bar hidden option.

[APK] Cell Broadcast

i noticed with the latest package there is a Cell Broadcast apk in the system application, i think we don't need this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Yes, thats it, I still use tablet status bar.

Expanded is nice when using comicrack, but then I dislike the loss of the status bar when doing everything else.

When you open a comic in comicrack, it blacks out the notification portion and replaces the nav buttons with dim lights.

Anyone know if theres a way to replace that behavior with expanded desktop or dropping the status bar in that situation?

Edit: So far twice the wallpaper reverted to the default.

Is anyone able to install themes on this ROM? I keep getting an error (on trying to apply theme), that it's not compiled properly or something to that extent.

Odd, as I've never had this issue before, but now I'm getting another issue after reinstalling cleanly with the newest build.

I'm getting this error on reboot/startup:

I can hit "I'm feeling lucky" and everything works like normal and I can go about my business, but the error comes back on reboot.

Is there anything I can do for this? Knowing linux, can I just force an fsck to fix it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jtodaro:
Wiped and re-installed. Everything's fine now. Not sure what caused it.

Wish I knew all of the available options as well as some of you folks do. I'm sure there's more I could do and customize on my device than I am now if I just understood what it all does and where to find it. Thanks for all you and twa_priv do for us!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] marathamola:
Thank you for making this amazing ROM for us.

I would like to inform one small problem. I apologize in advance if this problem has been reported previously or may be due to less ram in kindle.

Whenever I use original browser which came with ROM, it crashes after 5mins of browsing. I tried dling and installing Google chrome, it crashes in one minute. I don't know what to do. I am fairly new with this ROM.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] msparks311:
Just a curious question, is there also performance options with this ROM, included with developers options? I'm very happy with TWA cm10 development mostly for those reason and how fluid this ROM runs.

Yes

I enabled Developer Options with the seven-tap, then selected Android Debugging, USB debugging notify and then my drivers auto-updated and I had USB storage.

Alternatively, you can mount under TWRP, that always works and may be faster for transfers.

Hope this helps.

Button Savior was updated again today, the 26th, and now everything works perfectly on CM10.1 again. Yee ha!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] beanboy89:
I flashed this ROM last night. Going to take a bit of getting used to not having the combined notification/navigation bar. I got the Quick Settings tiles customized to my linking, which almost does a decent job at replacing the settings panel on the combined bar, but there's still no (IMO) decent way to easily control volume or brightness.

Also, is there any way to get back the CM10.0 lockscreen weather widget? I realize I could add an existing weather widget to the lock screen, but you can only seem to fit one widget per panel on the 4.2.x lock screen. I'd like to fit everything on one panel for ease of access/quick glances like with CM10.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bassmanjames:
Any specific changes in the 1225 build?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] evgeny9:
Yes, I tried that version, but it didn't work for the screen off. Although the very latest version (today's, I think) works.

Great Update!!! You deactivated the useless camera widget from lockscreen!!

And for those that are talking about the volume control...just download "volume in notification" from play market! It works amaizing!!

I just love this rom, im going to uninstall modaco from second boot since i dont need it anymore :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
I'm fairly certain it is the lack of memory. If I recall, they had to edit some files just so it could run as the kindle doesnt meet the minimum for ICS.

Same with me in Dolphin.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Most of us learn by experimenting with different settings, try something, see what it does.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gg_99:
Agreed, and I do. But I'm talking sbrady & twa_priv type of understanding of the nuts and bolts. I'm appreciative of the work the devs do, especially because I simply don't have the time to dedicate to it. I'm thankful for the time and dedication they give it on behalf of someone like me.

This just randomly happened? I did a reboot and the text returned instead of the weird white boxes. Second time this has happened today tho?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kheldarn:
Question: Should the Play Store update to the newest v4.0.25? Or should I just download and install the .APK for it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooklynNY:
It will probably be in the next GAPPS zip package, but until then, install it yourself. Most of us hate waiting for anything new that's already available. For example: TWRP 2.5 is out, how many of us (if any) don't have it yet?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I don't. I was using 2.2.2.1 until a short while ago and the only reason I updated (to 2.4.3.0) was because of the screen timeout change.

When it comes to recovery I always wait until I'm absolutely sure there are no hidden bugs.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kheldarn:
The version of TWRP I have is twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0. It works, so I haven't bothered to upgrade it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] votinh:
Agreed.

Latest doesn't mean greatest.

Don't know about the TWRP 2.4.3.0 but there are reports claiming 2.4.4.0 and the latest one 2.5.0.0 having Backup issue. So I reverse back to the 2.2.2.1, which should have been golden.

All I know is I have been using COTR since blood first released it, alongside always with Thomas' ROMs... It is based off of CWM and made specifically for our device. iMO it destroys any version of TWRP for KF
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 404-Not Found:
This is what happens to my battery. Notice the sudden decrease in the battery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Have you done an absolutely clean install?

Though shall not post unless thee have doneth a full wife of /system /data /cache and reboob...

If so, and you have done so, does this issue occur on Hashcodes pure cm10.1 nightly on a full clean install .... WITH NO ADDITIONAL USER APPS INSTALLED...

Does it occur on a stock bases ROM (ie, modaco) after a full clean install?

If yes, then your battery is shot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 404-Not Found:
I did a full clean install and this was an upgrade. I came from SmoothROM before this ROM. I changed because battery life was an issue with that ROM. This only happens during Reboots and Power Offs. This happened while I used the Kindle with Power On during the time I used the SmoothROM. Will do an upgrade see if it gets better. This shouldn't happen since This Kindle was a New Replacement for an Old one, which I only got 2months ago.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
But they replace defective devices with REFURBISHED devices...so it may be an actual issue with your replacement hardware...as, as far as I know, this issue is particularly unique to your device...

If I were you though my next step would be to try a flash of hashcodes vanilla build and not install any apps for a couple days while testing...also be sure you are wiping /system too (not just factory reset)... I am sure you are but just wanted to be sure.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
I had the exact same problem with my KF and it turned out to be the battery.. I changed it and its been fine ever since with this, and all twa_privs previous versions of this ROM (about 6 months now).

Changing the battery is easy and you should be able to do it yourself.. Good luck!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] msparks311:
The original of battery sucks, I bought a new one a few months back, it solved most my issues with charging.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] igotgame:
You know what would be nice, instead of having just a volume soft nav key, if you could have volume + / - keys like a lot of the China tabs you can buy online. Seems like all of those cheap tablets have soft volume + / - keys.

Kind of like this (notice the volume down/up to the right of the "Recent" apps button):
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Button Savior allows simple on screen soft keys, that is my solution.

Browser FC

Hello,

I have noticed that many browsers (default, chrome, dolphin) are getting extremely unstable. I am not using flash and FC happen with content heavy webpages. Does anyone have any advice for fix or maybe an alternative browser that is more stable.

Thnx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
IMO, I think it's really easy to "hit the wall" as far as ram is concerned on 512mb devices. I've ditched Google+ on my phone and tablet for this reason and have noticed many issues fixing themselves simply from that.

That being said, if you can get used to Naked Browser go for it, it seems to be the lightest and fastest browser I've found. I still see the occasional app disappear from the status bar (low ram) but it's much better now that I ditched Google+ and found a lightweight browser.

Such is life here in 512mb land.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Moaely:
is there anyway to increase 512mb, maybe virtualy?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hearnbiz:

Since not much has changed on the CM/SGT7 front lately which would qualify a new build I uploaded a flashable kernel zip (kernel_otter-20130415-1524-exp.zip) to goo.im.

Changes:

* Kernel: Linux 3.0.74

* fs/dyn_sync_cntrl: dynamic sync control [faux]

* Many more. The full changelog can be found here: kernel_omap_otter-common/commits/cm-10.1-exp

The dynamic sync control change [thanks to faux123] gives a big boost in Quadrant and Antutu I/O scores - not sure if it's noticable during daily usage though.

Edit: Before anyone asks - no wipe required, not even dalvik/cache.

Also, if you are coming from an older build (couple months) and are now on a new build, did you do a dirty flesh and reboob or clean all of the flesh off with soap and wifing the data and cash before reboobing?

Well I re-flashed and it's doing the same thing. I press the power button and nothing happens. I have to plug in the USB cable to get the power button to even function again, hold it down to force a reboot, then press it again to power the thing back on.

This is weird. I have another kindle fire that works perfectly fine with this rom.
