Hashcode (and all other posted on guides/how-tos etc)

You must realise how grateful we all are for your hard work. It has definitely not gone un-noticed.

I got given my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 32GB from my girlfriend for a birthday present and the first thing I did was went to XDA and found you lot.

Over the last 7 days I have attempted to follow your posts and guides on putting JB4.2.2 on it from Amazon Stock 8.3.1

I had to use a windows 7 Virtual Machine on my Mac and on the Mac itself with Terminal, but between the 2 I got there in the end and last night it was up and running

For me it works great, yeah a little laggy in places sure, but you guys have worked magic to even get this far. Its far over my skill set and I wouldn't even know where to start yet somehow you guys pull off amazing technological feats and for that you should be commended!

I think I speak for everyone hear both before me and after to say we are all very grateful for all your work and efforts you put into this in your own personal time and you all deserve to be recognized for that.

All the best, and thankyou.

Andy

Not going back to stock.

Hash, as I said before you had audio, once it was enabled I would never go back to stock. Your build is much more useful in that it runs all the apps I am used to using - they just didn't work the same (or sometimes at all) in stock. I can do much more customization. Thanks for your efforts, and remember for each one of us that sends you a message, there are many more making daily use of your builds. Looking forward to your "safe...something in the works."

I thought I'd already posted this, maybe I accidentally posted it somewhere else:

Our KFHD8 is stuck on the spinning CM screen and doesn't boot up. Just randomly started doing this. Any suggestions?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeevas.v:
Try doing a factory reset and if not resolved try reinstalling.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gsu_golfer:
That did fix it (as I assumed it would). Didn't really wanna do that since I figured my wife would kill me for wiping everything. Need to get TiBu going on this thing.

When it does that for me, I just boot into recovery and wipe the caches and then it works, no need to reinstall

Audio bug

Hi Hashcode, thank you for your work! I've found a bug: if there is deezer music playing and a sound notification happen (whatsapp or low battery level or gmail), music stop playing and don't restart, after that no more audio work. volume keys don't work, Only solution is to reboot the device. Is very annoyng. Other music app work well, for example poweramp, youtube. Temporary solution should be to remove all audio notification, but this is not good...

Let me know if goo.im is still having issues and I'll mirror on dev host as well.

Moving icons around on home screen still make the screen flip. Native wallpaper still off on the side home screen pages. Minor things but hoping they can be fixed.

I'm having an issue with Swiftkey tablet and standard. The keyboard pops up, but as soon as I type a letter, it enters the letter and then drops away. After about 30 seconds, it comes back and drops away again after hitting a letter. After about four more times of that, it will stay and I can type normally. I thought maybe it was due to TB restore, but I cleared data, FC and uninstalled and it's still doing the same thing. Any ideas? Working fine on all my other Android devices.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] timnan:
man, hash said this is just cm refresh, no bug fix....
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] supernoman:
Updated CM would mean there are fixed/changes, maybe not related to the Fire though.

Quick advice needed!

Hi All,

I am in need of some QUICK advice! (I am flying to London in around six hours).

I have been looking for a tablet to complement my Samsung Galaxy Nexus ( Vanir ROM, Franco kernel).

If I bought a Fire HD 8.9 during my visit, I would certainly root and replace ROM to rid the device of the "Amazon Stuff".

My questions:

Is this ROM functional enough for a reasonably pleasant and reliable experience? Is there anything important missing or annoying?

Should I consider another tablet brand? Should I wait for the "Next Nexus" tablet?

I know I should do my own research, but time right now is very much against me. I hope you understand.

Many thanks in anticipation for any information.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ajma:
It's probably going to vary from person to person, but in my opinion, it's usable. I use one as my only android tablet.

The nexus ones would be faster but would have costed me twice as much and it wasn't worth it to me.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bakib:
I really love screen and size on Fire 8.9 and this rom is usable, but work with it is sometimes annoying. My friend has asus tf200 with original ROM and it is waaaay more faster and fluid (because of smaller resolution and better CPU+GPU).

I would go to TF700 or something simmilar (full hd resolution and powerfull CPU+GPU).
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] AlexAquarium:
I'm having some issues with sound with the current iteration of the CM release. When I start some games like PvZ, it cause the device to stop playing sound even after exiting the game. I'm not sure if it's related, but when I have youtube app up and playing a video. If I pause the video and wait for device to go into sleep and turn it back on and go back to the youtube video, youtube can't play anymore videos. I have to reboot. Logcat doesn't seem to show any issues. Anyone else experience this?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] xsaper:
Same here. Some apps are unable to init sound and stuck on load.

Though sometimes (don't know how) sound comes back after series of suspend/wake up operations.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Seamonkey79:
I've gone back to the 05.08 build, sound far more stable and I've yet to use the camera and I can handle the rotation heading the wrong way. Bluetooth works and sound has yet to cut out on me.

Can anyone get games to work? All games now do not load and get stuck on a black screen. I tried 3 different builds and it makes no difference.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] stevenmirabito:
Games are hit or miss. Some work for me, some don't open, and some freeze during play. I imagine it's a driver issue with the GPU or something along those lines.

Can't wait for a more substantial update!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] AlexAquarium:
I've decided to switch back to 05.08 build as well. The PvZ now have sound again and youtube can resume play after I turn back on a my device that previously had a youtube video paused in the middle. So at least these two problems went away. I remember this build was fairly stable.

I'll run a new build after a few more tweaks to fix deep sleep issues.

Deep sleep battery drain? that would be awesome.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Moleshome:
Is anyone else seeing an issue where it won't power on past the spinning CM logo without wiping the cache?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
How often does this happen, and is it triggered by doing something in the ROM? Like ROM Toolbox usage, etc.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Moleshome:
At first I thought it was being caused by not shutting down cleanly eg. after the battery going flat but it does it every time I do a complete shutdown rather than just closing the lid and letting it sleep.

Frequency: Every time

Cause: Power off

The first time I noticed it was 05/08 build.

Edit: I take that back, I've just tested it again and it took a long time to power up but it did start. Following an unclean shutdown though I've left it for extended periods of time with it not going beyond the spinning logo. Someone else mentioned similar problems further up the thread.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Opensystem:
Hey does anyone know if this kernel supports overclocking past stock at all? Trying to help my buddy out with his device. Thanks!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I have not added any OC settings.

ALSO: I'm adding a new NOT to the OP for using this ROM (or any based on it)

AUDIO: DO NOT ENABLE "LOCK SCREEN AUDIO" OR "TOUCH SOUNDS" IN SOUNDS MENU. THIS BREAKS AUDIO CURRENTLY.

Hey Hashcode

I was wondering if you are posting the new build tonight by any chance! :)

I am heading to a long trip tomorrow AM and would be great to install the new version before I go.

Just wishful thinking! :D

Is there any way to boost the audio or is this currently a rom issue?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] other1:
Successful!

Just a quick note...

I installed TWRP / CM10.1 on my KFHD8.9 running 8.4.1.

The 1st time it booted it stuck at the spinning CM logo.

I booted into recovery, did a system restore, and voila, it's running like a charm!

Thanks to all the folks here for all the help!

Does the sound mods on of first aide work with this?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gsu_golfer:
I used an app that I had in Dropbox from my Android phone days. Volume+

I'll post a link Saturday sometime.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Is there a specific volume you are referring to?

IE: speakers, headset, hdmi etc

For example HDMI volume isnt controlled on the Kindle but rather your TV/stereo.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dredre2017:
Speakers and definitely the headset. I have some beats earbuds and the same dsp manager on my s3 and the s3 is way louder and sounds better. The Kindle dsp's equalizer doesn't sound any different no matter what setting I try.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Brandonrz:
Oh, and is it just me. The brightness slider bar disproportioned?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Headset volume I can work on, but be sure to uncheck the "safe volume" setting.

For me speakers are tricky. I'm still fighting some dolby setup on the HDs. They are close but probably a bit low.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Brandonrz:
God is good!!!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dredre2017:
Yep it's off, that was the first thing I did. The reason I got the Kindle was for the price, screen and most of all the speakers since everyone else's tablets had lousy mono speakers.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] chmilu:
Hashcode, are you going to release the new build of the rom?

Still waiting for that.......Hah
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Yep, I'm all done w/ the Amazon OS updates now across 3 different Kindles.

So I can go back to work on CM.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
New CM10.1 update in the OP.

Download Information:

[07/13] ALPHA CM10.1 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL

http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130713-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip

md5sum: 5050e8c31851162a117d87d17a1b6806

CHANGES:

[07/13] USB Vendor ID / Product ID's have been reset to match the Amazon OS / TWRP values. Should help keep Windows drivers from going bonkers.

[07/13] Some Audio issues have been resolved. It shouldn't stop when swapping apps, etc. Still low volume currently where Dolby decoder is used.

[07/13] CM refreshed which includes several well-known security exploit patches

[07/13] PVR/SGX driver updated to 1.9@2291151 fixing several games and Google Earth

[07/13] Enabled "dirty region" rendering which helps 2d rendering quite a bit.

[07/13] Fixed a Bluetooth issue: stuck in TRANSITION mode till it's enabled/disabled after a reboot. This was causing extra battery drain.

[07/13] Some tweaks to Android vm allocations. Still needs work, but less apps are being killed off on the boot.

CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES:

When long pressing icons in landscape mode to move them, etc the screen will flip upside down for a moment and right itself. This causes the action to be aborted.

Rotation selection in games is hit and miss. Some work perfectly and some like to flip the device upside down. Still debugging what is causing this.

AUDIO: Any decoder which uses Dolby surround current has a lower volume than the rest of the system (Netflix, Google Movies, etc). It's a WIP.

AUDIO: Headset volume still may be lowish. Testing better ways of increasing volume w/o distortion. It's a WIP.

3D Performance: Is only OK. Needs some troubleshooting and perhaps kernel cleanup. Work-In-Progress.

Sensors: Testing various sensors, gyro seems 90 degrees off, etc.

I don't have an LTE version so this is not enabled in current builds.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] daruiner:
Very nice, I just went through the process for the second bootloader and all that, and I come to find a hot-off-the-press release. Looking good so far.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Brandonrz:
Why do only some games work
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arda99:
Lockstreen orientation?

Notice a problem:

As I'm using a 3rd party case the Kindle is usually in portrait mode, upside down with 180 degrees rotation and "rotation lock" enabled by default. However on lock screen its rotated back to stock orientation, i.e., no rotation at all, and once unlocked it will rotate 180 degrees then. I didn't see this behavior on my previous May build. So the lock screen doesn't follow the system rotation settings in this build.

Edit:

Lock screen orientates properly with "rotate lock off"(auto rotate on). Without that it always falls back to default orientation.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I need a specific list of games with issues.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] vaggolena:
Before this build, some of the popular games did not work, like Candy Crush Saga. Now this game works, and my wife is happy:cool: but Where's My Mickey? still does not load up. Does not even get to the main screen, just a black screen. Not sure about any other games. Anyway, besides that, thank you once again for all the work and effort you put into the KFHD!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Yes, before updating the sgx/pvr driver games like buggy blitz and Google Earth did not work as well.

I can look at Where's My Mickey next week.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] brotbuexe:
Same for Worms 2. But feel free to work on this. I dont need games. Great that earth is now working.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] phiyuku:
I found somewhat of a fix for this: When long pressing icons in landscape mode to move them, etc the screen will flip upside down for a moment and right itself. This causes the action to be aborted.

If hashcode can find out why this makes it work then hopefully he can build it into the ROM or Kernel. It is an app called Rotation Locker. Which can be found here. Download it and open the app. Select Auto with Persistent. To do this just hold the Auto until the app disappears. Then you will see you can move icons in landscape mode. You can automate this with Tasker if you like as it has a plugin for Tasker. Make Tasker open the app and set it to auto persistent on startup.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeevas.v:
Installed the new build(7/13) and tested Skype for hours. Everything worked perfectly. Google earth is also fine. Thank you hashcode for this wonderful build. Slowly and steadily we are reaching the goal.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arda99:
CM Wallpaper also rotates to stock orientation with "rotation lock" on. So this is a bug when the tablet is not on default orientation.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] daruiner:
Along the same vein, I've noticed that if I go into Settings -> System -> Navigation Bar Buttons and Layout and unlock the buttons while in landscape mode, the screen flips upside down. The behavior is not exhibited while in portrait mode. This is only a minor nuisance, at most, but I wanted to make you aware.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I'm sort of taking notes and my main focus for the next update:

- rotation issues

- dolby sound work / volumes

- game debugging

It will probably be the 1st "beta" release.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] timnan:
Will you consider improving performance? The only thing bordering me is this one doesn’t run as fast as my 2 year old phone. Laggy seen often.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] manchucka:

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] CAL7:
Has anyone seen problems with Swype (v1.5.6.16934 from Play) on CM10.1? Occasionally, when I tap into an input field (where normally the keyboard pops up), it ignores me and no keyboard appears. I didn't use the stock keyboard long enough to determine if that also has the issue, but in a few tests, it does not.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
Thank you Hashcode the device is now accepting cleaner volume enhancements. I was able to increase volume output to suit my needs and games that crashed before due to audio participation no longer do. Major all around improvements on the latest build.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] chmilu:
Just after pressing the power button, the screen show half or less than half of the cm logo, that's strange and was being like this for a while.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeevas.v:
Hi hash code,

Which are the binary only drivers that we have currently?

Is moving to the 3.4 kernel still planned/feasible?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
- I have some re-work before I can build sensors lib from source

- Moving to 3.4 kernel is still planned

- I'm experimenting with some Dolby decoding binaries that we will never be able to get source for, but it may or may not be an issue. Won't know for a bit.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Please reboot when it's like this. Don't let it drain your battery.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
In the next update, I've tweaked the VM settings a bit so that we don't run out of memory for allocating things like graphics :P
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LivingChampion:
Only issue worth mentioning is that the lock screen cannot go in landscape mode. Please tell me if this is a personal issue because I will try to reinstall my ROM. Otherwise, major improvements all around.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Not a personal issue, it doesn't rotate the lock screen atm.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] 0killer:
Also had problems with Swype on this rom. Switched to Swiftkey (Swype is just better in Voice recognition) on all my devices now.

The second Software I changed was Avast, now using Trustgo.

After big frustration in the beginning, now I'm very happy with my Kindle.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Actually, lock screen rotation has it's own setting now:

Settings -> Display -> Rotation -> "Rotate Lock Screen"
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arda99:
However this setting only works when "auto-rotate screen" is enabled. If I put the tablet in landscape mode then uncheck "auto-rotate screen" to lock the position, I would still expect the lock screen on the same landscape mode -- and that's how it worked in previous build. So is it a CM bug?
