Re: [ROM] [JB 4.2.1]cm10.1/sgt7 [20130118]

I've done a little bit of mucking about with Linux kernels in the past 15 years I've been away from Windows, so I'm curious.. is the hd video issue just a kernel module needing to be enabled or what? I'd be more than happy to try to fix hd playback if you could point be to a copy of the kernel source (unless it's in the op, in which case ignore that.)

If it's a kernel option or module issue, I'll see what I can do. If it's a firmware blob from Amazon that's needed, I can snag some kernel source from the original fire and check out how hd playback was enabled there and try to hack up a kernel patch.

Basically, I'm clueless when it comes to the android kernel right now because I've never messed with it but if it's more or less a forked arm Linux kernel, it shouldn't be too hard to modify. Especially if I can create a build environment using virtualization that I can run an arm v7 version of curses in to be able to use menuconfig to step through all of the kernel options and modules.

That and the problem with voice search when using a headset. And otg requiring stickmount to work properly seem to be the only major issues I've come across. Oh and LCD backlight won't turn off while charging. Other than that its running great.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] iytrix:
I'd pop into #kf2-dev if you can. Hashcode is the only one really with the knowledge on that, so possibly PM him or wait for him on the IRC. I don't know much as to why the codec isn't working, or much of how that works. I have an idea but I'd rather let you talk to hashcode. I'm not sure if it's something you can do on your own to help hashcode, because right now he's working on a great many fixes across all the new Kindle devices, and in the next fix, video will be fixed.

I assume much of us would appreciate a quick fix until hashcode can get a/the big update out, but he's the guy you'll want to be talking to about that.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] nFiniti:
I will help out any way I can. I'm not a coder but I know my way around some files here and there lol. I'm better at testing hehe.

Anyway just got back from a quick ride around the corner and noticed the GPS is very laggy.

Details: IF your standing still, it will get an almost perfect fix on your location but when you start moving, it doesn't update your location but every half minute or so and the circle (accuracy circle) expands to where you really are. And then when you stand still again it will pinpoint your location again and the circle will shrink to within a couple feet.

Nightly build fixed

Like I said sorry about the last zip I uploaded, It must of been corrupt. Here is a new nightly build that should be fine. It has latest CM/SGT7 and Kernel changes but without my modifications to framework

This one flashes fine, and the fastboot in bootloader works, so now if we have people with the secondary bootloader, they should be able to flash twrp no problem... or restore stock.. hopefully no more cable bricks...
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] willieboya:
I dont know if you will get it, its bbc.co.uk/sport and click on any of the videos on there. i was getting it before i went on to a custom ROM, true it was buggy but i could get it to work 99% off the time. this website is only available to the uk though.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] nFiniti:
You can still find the Flash apk file and use it. But Adobe doesn't offer anymore support for it as most of the web is starting to stray away from flash and onto a new, futuristic web design. So eventually things will stop working for a while till the transformations are complete. I noticed the same thing with a game I was playing on PC, I was using the tablet or my phone for this flash designed website which had information and maps and th is and that and one day it just stopped working. I tried installing flash and whatever but it never worked again since then.

but I am not saying thats whats going on, could be something simple. You said it didn't happen till you went to a custom rom? If thats the case, locate the Adobe Flash .apk file. Its all over the web including here at xda. You can install it, and then make sure your browser has plugins turned on.

So HDMI Media Dock doesn't work?! lol jk. Inside joke. I left the SGT7 to locate another device of similar size, went to a Nexus 7 after, but was too large for my application. Then bought a KF2 right as Amazon locked it down hard, so sold it before it even showed up but got another one free and thats what I'm using now. Main reason I had to leave the SGT7 was because they couldn't get the HDMI Media Dock to work which I needed for audio output. Luckilly the KF2 has the USB and Audio port right next to each other so it works out for me. And very good hardware.

I'm downloading now.

I think I missed it, what are your "modifications to framework"?

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] nFiniti:
Re: [ROM] [JB 4.2.1]cm10.1/sgt7 [20130118]

+1 here... The stock launcher is horrible vs Apex or Nova. My choice is Apex due to its higher abilities. Both device and launcher set to tablet mode and the grid upped pretty high you can utilize the entire screen instead of having an inch on each side not being used.

Not how I have my desktop setup but just threw some stuff up there to show.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] iytrix:
Agreed. I remember some launcher had overlapping from the icons and names. I know apex with all the margins, or borders, not sure what the app calls them, but you set them to none and everything works fine. Haven't used nova but I never really liked it.

Chameleon launcher is also really cool and works nicely, but I find it more of a novelty right now.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] nFiniti:
Well if you go tooooo over done, like 12x12 on tablet mode then you will have icons overlapping each other. I find my setup perfect!

Details:

Portrait grid

Current: 9x8

Landscape grid

Current: 5x12

Horizontal margin

None

Vertical margin

None

|

|

|

\/

Use tablet UI Mode "On"

This setup here seems to get the icons closely together but still have a few mm in between them and an even space side to side and top to bottom. When I'm in Landscape mode I have my music player visible since the whole purpose of my tablet is for music playing, and in portrait mode I have my google chrome desktop bookmarks and gmail. Its how I've always set it. With Nova you can't go this detailed, its like Apex but minus half the wonderful settings needed to perfect your screen.

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] avathor:
what ROM is better, this here or this one from Hascode ?
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Jowyn:
Well, afaik it's basically the same rom, but powerpoint45 added a few features from sgt7, mainly UI-oriented.

You have quite a few options there to switch to tablet mode (single navigation & notifications bar), to remove navigation buttons, to add navigation gestures, etc.

I adopted ppt's rom as I couldn't get used to navigation buttons, and navigation gestures are definitely a nice feature, esp. coupled to apex (alternate launcher I chose, trebuchet is the default) gestures.

I installed it on my KF2.

Its Works.

Why he has only 673 MB RAM under Settings/System info?

My other tablet (Ainol Aurora 2) have same ROM CM10.1

and he has 884 ram in the system info.

both have 1GB Ram.

After reboot has KF2 with CM10.1 under Advances Task Killer les then 400mb free, and my Aurora2 >500

My second KF2 with stock ROM has >600 MB free after reboot.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] iytrix:
So let me get this straight. Your KF2, with CM10.1, have 673 MB of RAM, also known as, >600MB

a TOTALLY DIFFERENT TABLET has more RAM available.

Then, you're saying that the KF2, with stock, have >600MB of RAM....

So, your KF2 has RAM, and your other tablet shows more available.

I don't get what you're saying/asking....

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Hashcode:
Re: [ROM] [JB 4.2.1]cm10.1/sgt7 [20130131] [CODECS && MTP]

the difference in RAM free, has more to do with architecture than anything.

The Texas Instruments devices will pre allocate blocks of memory and dedicate to hd codecs or video RAM, etc. Other architectures will keep that memory more open in the main heap which is shown in Android.

In the end it comes down to functionality and well the device works. No version of Android has used 800mb of open RAM.

I have this rom installed on both of my kids KF2s and it runs amazingly smooth. I love it and they do too, so thanks a million to the devs and anyone else associated with this rom.

I do have a small problem though, ever since I installed CM10.1 on both of the KF2s I seem to get the same MAC address on both of them. I tried a few apps from the Google Play store that spoof a new MAC address but they don't seem to work on the KF2. Is there any way that I can change the MAC address on either of my KF2s to their original MAC address? I can't seem to find a fix for this problem. In another thread in the help forum, fmkilo told me that it was likely a kernel issue causing this problem, so hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

Other than that issue this rom is really awesome and seems to run better/smoother in many ways than my Nexas 7 does.

Thanks a bunch! I couldn't get it to work that way unfortunately, not sure why. But after researching a bit more from what you told me I stumbled upon this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385577

So I basically did what someone had posted on that thread and it worked great. The bad thing is that it is a temporary fix but at least it works for a while and my kids can get their apps and videos on netflix or youtube at the same time.

Here is what worked for me after having Busybox installed:

busybox ifconfig

busybox ifconfig wlan0 down

busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55

busybox ifconfig wlan0 up

(Spoofed a different MAC address for the second KF2)

It wouldn't work for me when I typed it step by step, maybe I'm doing something wrong? But after inserting those commands all at once on the root command line, it somehow worked for me and now they are up and running. :good:

Yes, I have used both of them and they both had the same MAC address. In another thread on the help forum, fmkilo told me that this was likely caused because of a kernel issue, and I'm sure both ROM's use the same kernel. So hopefully this will all get settled out soon.

Other than all that, this ROM and Hashcode's ROM are both really awesome!
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Antoine.WG:
I have to say this ROM, and hashcode's too, are looking fantastic. Even my wife is impressed with how fast and smooth it is.

The only thing that I'm missing is Amazon Instant Video. We subscribe to Amazon Prime but we can't use it on our modded KF2 any more. Has anybody had any luck getting it to work? There is a thread over in the HD7 forum, but nobody seemed to get it working. I've tried 2 different versions from that thread, and extracting it from the 2 latest ROM updates from Amazon, along with the Amazon account app, but it just force closes.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] texraid:
This does not happen to me at all. I have two KF2's on the latest version 5 of this ROM and that has never happened to me and I have been on this ROM since version 2. I've also used Hashcode's ROM and it also has been solid.

I agree, this CM10 KF2 version works great IMO. Version 5 is working flawlessly with the HD codecs and runs almost all of my kids games. I think it runs smoother than my Nexus 7 in a lot of ways. I'm really impressed with it so far.

Only 2 apps didn't start up- Hulu Plus said it wasn't compatible with this device (even though I was able to download it from the play store) and HBOGO kept crashing as soon as I opened it.. although it did open before I updated to the new version, just wouldn't play videos.

Thanks for the rom, nice work!

I'm having trouble with a conflict between the Trebuchet.apk data I restored over the sgt7 ROM. The Trebuchet data is from Hashcode's CM10.1 ROM for Kindle Fire. I backed up using TWRP and restored the data to the new ROM. Now all I get is a 'Trebuchet.apk has closed' error when I try to do anything.

I was going to do rm -rF /system/app/Trebuchet.apk, then adb push the one from this ROM, but I get an error because of the Read-only file system.

Does anyone know how to fix this, and if this is a good way to solve the problem? Should I search for the Trebuchet data and delete that instead?

Thanks.
