could you add frandom, is faster, 50 times faster than urandom

https://github.com/Ryuinferno/frandom-android crossbreder has a script to use it, no the module, the module has to be made

4. Remove /dev/random as it's blocking . Link it to non-blocking /dev/urandom. Since /dev/random is blocking and designed to protect us from Quantum alien cryptographers with mathematical certainty and urandom is non blocking pseudo-random device that most apps and OSs are using anyway and with Haveged running, is as secure anyway as it's very difficult to empty the entropy pool faster than Havege can replenish it. Pre ICS devices have a lot to gain with this but ICS+ devices show visible gains too.

5. Frandom support - CrossBreeder now supports linking both your random devices to the extremely fast alternative - Frandom ( http://billauer.co.il/frandom.html ). This module is orders of magnitude (10-50 times) faster than the standard character devices ( Check this out - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37409586&postcount=134 ). The erandom character device also installed by Frandom doesn't use up system entropy at all on top of being fast. You will need to ask your ROM developer to develop the kernel module for you and then place it in /system/lib/modules. CrossBreeder will then try and load it and if successful, make all the necessary adjustments so that both /dev/random and /dev/urandom are pointing to /dev/frandom and /dev/erandom respectively. The speed benefits are to be seen to be believed. But since each ROM requires a unique kernel module, this option is left optional ( but auto detect ).

feature 5 is inportant, but the other is useful too to make our kindle very fast, or better, we couldnt see any difference but, there will be a gigant difference in system. i dont know, so many people say it is exellent

Hash, I was going to try this, but my PC doesn't seem to recognize the kindle. Im not sure if I have to do something new or some new drivers now that Im on CM, but it used to recognize it just fine... Any help here?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Maromi:
you could try navigating to it in TWRP and copy it to the sdcard
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] hamidwt:
no, I don't use custom launchers.

another thing, i don't know if it s just me but audio quality in this build is not good even by using the acid mod you don't get a nice sound, previews build weren't like this. and the volume is too low ,like it was before.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] 1deej:
I had the same Skype issues, this version fixed them for me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] hamidwt:
got back to the previews build , because of sound volume and quality.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
I agree. Maromi's original release was very stable, there were no issues with audio or video playback that everybody's complaining about now. Not to say Hashcode's work sucks because it's not, but for some reason it was compiled from his stuff, yet his current builds lack the quality of the very first preview build.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] codepoet82:
FWIW, the latest build is now properly able to pair to my BT devices that use pin codes other than 0000. This was an issue in the earlier builds for me, but no longer!

Still have some quirks with the accelerometers being 90 degrees off for some apps, but otherwise this ROM is great! No reason for me to seriously consider the stock firmware variations at all anymore.

Keep up the great work!

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
Can you point me to this original release?

I searched and searched but I'm not sure which one you are referring to.

Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
It's in the CM10.1 development thread by reverendkjr, a few pages back from the end. I only chose Hashcode's aphas over it because I knew there were bugs and I didn't want to risk it.

EDIT: Maromi deleted his post. He pointed to this thread instead. Because Hashcode had to build on a different kernel, he didn't keep the Dolby Digital Plus audio and the hardware acceleration is very choppy. Audio and video playback won't be resolved in the near future, I don't think. I think his first priority would be getting the alphas to be stable, and they're not quite there yet, because I notice tons and tons of lagging on this build.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
Hopefully Maromi will share it again.

As you said: not to complain about Hashcode's effort, but simply to keep on experimenting and improving CM.

I'm convinced that by mixing and matching everybody's attempts (especially on kernels) we can only get better.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
srop fighting, how released cm 10.1 was hashcode, if you want it better make it, all you see now, like tablet ui or maromy kernel is ALL based on this
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tamoquera:
Yep

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
No fighting at all and I apologise if I gave that impression. Just wanted to compare releases.

Hashcode is doing a fantastic job and those who can contribute writing code should do so; those who cannot should at least test and report back.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] kgyuszko:
Does anyone know how to get skype working on cm10.1 (hashcode) Ive tried latest from play store, as well as version 1.5.0.4 (skype mobile), neither work -- any offers appreciated please!

(preferable a link to a working apk, or link to forum where it is listed, im sure someone has sorted it, but I so cant find it!!:confused:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] 1deej:
OK so originally I flashed using jesters instructions, then because of issues I flashed the kernel (1.2) which hash posted the other day. I still had skype and other issues, so i flashed with hashs post yesterday with the bug/cam fix and that solved everything.

Hope that helps
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] kgyuszko:
Thanks for this. Flashing update now, I didn't realise hash code had released an update!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] 1deej:
No problem, hope you solve the issues.

We all owe hash massive thanks for his hard work, make sure you click thanks on him and rate his thread.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
be sure you are installing the new version. the issue you describe sounds like the previous .zip.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jmar8124:
Thanks for the reply hash. When did you last update the ROM. I'm currently running your last build, its the 05/05/13 build that's doing the above dug. Thanks.

1- Only file I could find was kmsg. Last_kmg was not on twrp (or was not visible maybe)

2- Since I cannot connect through adb, I tried twrp, but it did not copy. will try on another PC soon.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Whew. Glad you posted this actually, I also notice a lot of lag and was starting to think there was something wrong with my kindle. Mine even works with the 1.5 over clock kernel and I still get a lot of lag. Not a critical issue, but very annoying.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] quan_1986:
Pin out faster than stock ROM will hopefully fix this problem soon .Very thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] goochy:
No, I am using the default launcher. When on the homescreen in landscape and I perform a long press on an app icon to move it the screen rotates a full 360. If I need to move icons around the homescreen then i have to perform this while the tablet in portrait.

Let me know if you need anymore info to resolve this bug.

Thanks,

Chris
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Katalystik:
I also get this issue hash, it's not exclusive to any one launcher so you might need to look that one up. Otherwise all is peachy bar the obvious that you've already stated. :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Haven't had the screen rotate problem, but I have noticed that when placing apps like you said, even if I hold my finger stationary I can see the icon for the app jumps around a little bit under my finger.

Edit: that was on Trebuchet in portrait mode, not sure about landscape, haven't noticed it in Apex that I can recall
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sxrmafia:
I was about to post about the same issue , i am facing it on both nova and apex.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Yeah I don't know. When I'm placing my apps on different screens and I have the icon under my finger, it just jumps around on it's own. I don't think I've ever sorted in landscape, it's just easier in portrait for me. If I recall, I think it happened on jb2kred's PA too.

Edit: or are you talking about screen rotate?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
I believe all of you are reporting touch noise... Are you dpoing this while the charger is connected? If so, try disconnecting it. It doesn't happen to me
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey thanks for the response. Not sure I'll have to give it a try. Got a little time here this afternoon. I'll give it a shot unplugged. Btw, what is touch noise, never heard of that?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Reflexdarky:
root

i dont think you need to re root it as if you look in the settings menu it says superuser and i tried apps that require root and they ask for permission just like normal and work fine

i could be wrong here

Rob:good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] :
Just been playing around with the density setting in the build.prop, definitely finding the Nexus 7 density default of 213 the best right now, it gives full Homescreen space for putting apps on, also icons are a good size & 7 shortcuts in the Dock too :)

Whatever is decided, I think I'll be sticking with that for now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Reflexdarky:
yeah i also have same problem with brightness sliding the slider does nothing still stays at the same setting

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Stock Amazon DPI on the 7" is 240. It looks rather like a blown up phone. 200 and other non-standard numbers require modification of the Play Store and Google framework in order to stop hiding apps.

Boom. Now I gotta find a fastboot cable and try to get the 2nd boot loader installed.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dugoy13:
Got it working. Brightness is not working. And some apps didn't show in play store (Facebook, chrome, gmail, etc)

I just used Market helper to get them. I set the density though to 200.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I'll put a fix for the backlight up in a bit.

Dolby audio is not supported atm (deep buffer fixes mentioned in OP). Camera audio noise == no audio input yet (also mentioned in OP).

The reason audio is so partially implemented, is that I had to reverse engineer the userspace driver portion from scratch. (system/lib/hw/audio.primary.bowser.so).
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sxrmafia:
Amazon's customized bloatware is finally gone , All i want to say right now is a million hugs and thanks <3
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] raggaro5:
Great ROM, can flash player run like kinology
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] :
I've noticed audio cutting out when playing games, seems to play for around a minute or so before it just stops.

Also is there a reason why when playing any landscape/horizontal game it flips the screen round so that you have to flip the Kindle upside down to view the correct way?

Any setting to fix that?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Ah good point. The odd rotation change on some app start is being looked at.

I may need to backport a new iio-based invensense kernel driver from the 3.4 kernel, so that I can compile libsensor from source. Right now I'm using the ICS blobs. :/
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
3D Performance: Not very good. Needs some troubleshooting and perhaps kernel cleanup. Work-In-Progress.

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

AUDIO: INPUTS / HDMI / BT don't work -- needs more work in the audio HAL for routing.

Haven't touched HDMI yet

fix this and i will downlaod it, well sensors and 3d performance are more inportant to me, i love your job /O_O\
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
Great work Hash ^^ thanks a lot :) Its really appreciated

Updated the OP with a few bugfixes:

Download Information:

[04/22a] ALPHA CM10.1 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL

http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130422a-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip

md5sum: e36369665336e036d57290a24ac3f710

Download Google Apps:

http://goo.im/gapps

(For Android 4.2.1/CM 10.1 use the top row gapps)

PLEASE BE SURE TO WIPE SYSTEM & DATA/CACHE (FACTORY RESET) WHEN COMING FROM AMAZON STOCK SOFTWARE.

(It's the "Wipe" button and then "System" and then "Factory Reset" button in TWRP -- this does NOT clear your sdcard space)

Be aware that the "sdcard" space has changed slightly from ICS to JB4.2. You will find your stock amazon OS files in /data/media/ or "sdcard" on the Stock OS. But CM10.1 will create a sub directory "/data/media/0" and call that "sdcard". And in TWRP it will also use "data/media/0" as "sdcard". This has to do with multi-user settings. So when placing files on the "sdcard" be sure to check both locations before wondering why that file is missing.

CHANGES:

[04/22a] Fix backlight control

[04/22a] Set density to 213 (Nexus 7 Setting) for compatibility with the Market
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] hamidwt:
After watching about 2 minutes of videos it starts going fast forward.

is this problem fixed in the new update?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
No. That may be audio related, but I need a specific example of a file available online which causes this behaviour to see what's happening.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] hamidwt:
I suppose if you try any mkv file (x264) using mx player you will get the same result, although there was one movie that didn't have this problem.

But I sent you the download link , please check your inbox.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sxrmafia:
The latest fix u made , do i have to download the whole rom again ? Damn !
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Fireator:
This issue that some of us are facing with the rotating on the launcher in landscape (I use stock launcher) only started after Hashcode made that fix where apps were starting upside down(inverted). Before that fix this issue was nonexistent. I believe they are related somehow... Also if you turn off auto rotate when in landscape mode it does not have the issue either. It might just be a settings problem. :p idk I'll look into it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sxrmafia:
I am talking about screen rotation , whenever i touch and hold an icon for some 5 seconds in landscape mode to move it to the homescreen , the screen just starts 360 rotation and i cant drag the icon. Though everything works fine when in portrait mode. This aint normal behavior.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
It is basically that your touch screen is "faking" touches. It may be related with electricity (since I believe capacitive screens work with it) or something like that. Stock Rom had some noise cancelling service (reported by pshycophobia) but this one doesnt. Hashcode already knows about it ^^
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey thanks! That worked. I just left it unplugged and did my sorting and it went much smoother and there was none of the jumpiness I had before. :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
No pro ^^ We've been told by a user (don't remember his name) that using a 1800mA wall charger this problem won't manifest.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] macravin:
Rotation Issues

I only have rotation issues in games, not in the launcher. However, many landscape games will use the wrong landscape mode for my game making everything upside down. The problem persists even if I disable rotation modes under settings. The games seem to disobey the rotation disable even though every other application conforms to this rule.

Not sure how related this is.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
I get the same thing. There's an app that overrides that though called Ultimate Rotation Control. The free version only lasts for 7 day's so you have to go pro, but I think it's like $1.50. In the app you can set your rotation choice on an app by app basis.

Sent from my Kinologified thingy
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Yeah the new rotation issue is due to a setting that I added for "fixing" the previous issue where most apps would request landscape and flip the device upside down.

Now, most apps will request the correct landscape mode. But apparently, some don't honor the UI's requested setting for which way to flip the screen. And the launcher issue I'm still digging into.

We're in a unique situation due to there being "right" side and a "wrong" side for our landscape rotation. Most devices have the camera on the native "up" side which in Tate's case would be the top of the portrait view. Instead our camera is mounted on the side of the device. So where normally it wouldn't matter which way the screen chooses to rotate .. in our case it does.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
When I flashed your new update, my computer wouldn't recognize my Kindle anymore. It makes that sound that it recognizes a device plugged in, but the Kindle doesn't show up under Portable Devices.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
I remember this happening on stock too. Most games worked ok, but I think there a few that still wanted to misbehave. No matter which way I turned the Kindle, those games always wanted to be upside down.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Katalystik:
I have an issue similar to seokhuns in regards to USB connectivity. I can connect it to the computer and move files to and from it but can't ADB to it. I have a feeling why. In the build.prop I believe you changed the device name to Amazon Kindle Fire HD and the driver isn't playing nice with it. Try changing it back to the stock model ID. It asks me to install drivers and I tried using both ADB drivers I had before and neither register with the device.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Yeah, like Hash said, I think it's the kindle itself. Like he said, the camera's in kind of an odd place and Amazon I'm sure had to allow for that in their code. There must be some code in some games themselves that don't allow for correct rotation on the Kindle (just taking an educated guess).

Like I said, I stumbled across that Ultimate Rotation Control app, and when I start a game and it flips the wrong way, I just close it, go to the control app, and select landscape for that game. It works and let's me play the game I wanted to play.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Fireator:
For people like me who would usually get low scores on Database IO on Antutu, I found an app that brings it back to about 500.

New build incoming. I finished the new audio source changes last night and have the built-in MIC working (some bugs still).

I know there's a lot left to do, and other fixes, but I figure I'll run updates as something gets fixed.

USB: I'll double-check that my adb settings are as close to stock as possible to avoid driver issues.

I/O Speeds: Oddly, when I ran my tests (and was seeing 500's), I wasn't using any special apps. I'll have to see why there's a fluctuation in the I/O speeds.

I was just looking into my lag issues (don't know how many others experience pretty significant lags), but I tried LagFix app from play store as it works on my one x, but it said kernel not supported. So I went into a different app and noticed my CPU hanging around 60% usage for no apparent reason at all. It didn't show any apps that were using the cpu. Anybody else experience this or have any ideas?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
lag fix, the one of trim, my tweaks have that feature, i will mod them to work better on cm 10.1, do you want to test it ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Sure Persano, that would be great. If you shoot me something I'll test for you and give you some feedback. That would be awesome :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:

Cool, thanks Persano. If you could just shoot me a pm maybe whenever they're ready, I'll be ready to test for you. Thanks Persano.

What does rtmix do, like I said I used my regular apps, system panel pro, system tuner, and norton utilities and didn't see anything that could be making the cpu run so high even when it should be relatively inactive. So I was completely stumped.
