Having just come of a stock Kindle I'm amazingly impressed by your progress.

Facebook apps works fine on my setup. Though I did restore it from Titanium Backup instead of downloading from the market.

Camera and Video are also now working well. :good:

Plugging in any pair of headphones causes the volume to keep coming out of the speakers, though it seems to also increase volume output by a fraction. Unplugging causes music to stop, so it is more or less detecting the plugged in headphones.

-Edit- After disabling "Safe headset volume" headphones work as they should

General performance seems very good. But I was getting random slow downs, I have a very low Database IO score in Antutu of between 45 and 95.

I had done a full wipe coming from 7.2.3. Is there anything that might help this, or would another wipe and reinstall be the best option?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Opensystem:
I had the same database I/O problem in antutu. I fixed it- but only by wiping all the way back to stock Amazon and starting over, using antutu after I had wiped and then every step of the way from there during the rooting/Rom-Ming process

Took a while, but worked. Never did figure out the actual cause....

Hmm. Guess Ill start with just a fresh wipe and if its the same, then ill go back further. I'm sure going back to stock like you did and give the internal memory a complete wipe should probably do the trick. What would be the quickest way to get back to stock kindle? I do have a factory cable.

-Edit- After another wipe and a fresh install it is up to 555. So will reinstall my apps and see if the crazy slow downs return.

Thanks

Excellent! Glad you didn't have to go ALL the way back like I did, I know your pain lol.

I was getting the same thing. Kindle got really slow, wouldn't even hardly scroll anymore. Did a titanium and moved it to my computer and wiped EVERYTHING. Flashed the newest cm and it acts like normal now. Good speed, very smooth scrolling, etc. Seems to me like the more roms I tried the slower it got, so I wiped everything and now back to normal. I didn't go back to stock, just wiped everything. My little input :)

Ah I'm finally allowed to post in dev! Hi everybody. BTW Thank You Hash for all your work.

I'm experiencing a bug (with any of the versions of 10.1 since 5/11 and possibly previous) where I can't run HBO Go.

I ran catlog and discovered a permission error related to "PREVENT_POWER_KEY"

It looks like this was discovered almost a year ago at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30963540&postcount=1534 but if it was ever fixed, the bug is back.

Is there any way to work around this? I'd love to get all my multimedia working on CM.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
This is a known issue atm. It's a failing of the actual APK where it's asking for a permission that is only granted to system now.

I'm discussing w/ CM devs how to handle appropriately.

USB Media Storage Access Problems

Hey everyone,

Just installed the CM10.1 ROM (JB 4.2.2) and now my Kindle doesnt show up on my Windows 7 computer as a media device. The Kindle says "connected as a media device" and it connects to the computer power, the computer makes the connection noise, but the drive doesnt show up in My Computer.

Any tips? I have installed the adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130717 for the Google USB Drivers and previously I used the Kindle ADB drivers.

Appreciate the help.

Anyone experiencing camera issues on build 07/18, I'm using the Camera ICS app on the Play Store, it was working fine on the 07/17 build but has issues on this for some reason.

Issues are;

Image freezing

Yellow/Orange tint

Sluggish view movement

Same here!

The solution was to uninstall the Camera ICS app and to access the CM10.1 built in standard camera via this shortcut app (Playstore):

e.g. Camera Nexus 7 (Netco apps)

Good luck!

I personally prefer the battery drain to be fixed because it reduces the battery life time .

No, I like the battery drain!

Sent from my air conditioner unit running CyanogenMod
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Right now my priorities for the HD7":

- Fix the DSS / deep sleep battery drain

And then for both HD's:

- There's a memory / minfree issue that I'm seeing where apps aren't unloaded correctly from the background memory when they're inactive and the OS needs more memory.

- I'm working on Dolby Surround support for the speakers, headphones and HDMI as it would solve the volume issues as well as provide the superior sound that stock has. This is a VERY complicated process of pulling in changes on the Texas Instruments review site, rebuilding new framework java source for the DolbySurround service and then using 2-3 proprietary libs from the Amazon stock OS to support the audio effect and processing itself.

- Also looking at the rotation bugs where the device is flipped the wrong way in landscape modes.

After that, I'll probably rebuild the sensor drivers in the kernel so that I can use the newest version of Invensense source vs. using the binary blobs from the Amazon build.

Still quite a bit of development before I'll feel like the device is "done" enough to start on a newer kernel (3.4 / 3.8)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Ok cool, thanks for the reponse. Have to say for myself I don't really notice any battery drain on cm. I can unplug my Kindle and if I leave it in standby for 8 hours or so, which I do for work sometimes, I usually only lose about 3 or 4 % battery. Not sure what others are getting but that's my experience. The only thing that I have noticed personally is even after fully wiping my Kindle 3 days ago, I went and redownloaded I think 5 games or so and my Kindle is bogged down again, just really slugish in general. Apps are very slow to open, even smaller ones like the weather channel and tapatalk, etc. So is that one of the issues you're talking about like minfree or should I look into something else? Again thanks for all your work and feedback. Thanks Hash.

Try using the "Recent Apps" button next to the home button and swipe away some of the open apps. That's the current memory issue, is that when the system needs memory to load new apps, it's not closing down the older ones using the right calculations (IE: close the hidden inactive apps first).
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Regarding battery drain: My goal is ~5% every 24 hours w/ wifi on. This would equate to around ~20 days sitting on a shelf. Stock Amazon is probably better than that, but I'm not sure if they're limiting the devices ability to do things while in deep sleep.

At 9-12% a day you'll probably only see ~8 days just sitting on a shelf. I'm hoping the DSS fix will help that out quite a bit.

Dont know why i rooted my kindle fire hd,

----------------------

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.

-----------------------------

I use netflix and the sound is just not loud enough at all, its actually way way to low can hardly hear it, without loud sound fix i cant use this rom i hope this is not the same issue with all custom 10.1 roms

when you said low i thought hmm cant be that low lol, think of it this way if normal sound loudness is 100% this is like the normal sound level of 35%

Even the autobrightness does not work correctly on this rom, way way to low in brightness...

EDIT : just noticed your working on the audio issues,

in that case can you recommend a custom rom without audio issues ? or are they all the same, ??? what rom do you recommend thats better than the stock rom ?

Hashocde, first of all thank you so much for your hard work with this custom port. This is an incredible piece of work and I am thoroughly enjoying the freedom I have on the tablet.

I'm running the latest version from 07/18. I've noticed the battery drain problem so I'm glad you're going to be working on that.

I also noticed that my KFHD 7" doesn't always output sound through the headphones. I've tried with different sets of headphones and even with a cable with a headphone jack that I use to connect into the AUX input of my stereo.

I usually have to reboot the tablet to get it to work again. Not really sure what triggers it, but I am happy to run some tests for you if you'd like!

Thanks again!

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
Wow skyrocketeer! Your suggestion completely solved my audio problems.

This is what I did:

1) Downloaded Viper-XHiFi here

2) Installed (selecting CortexAx with NEON)

3) Uninstalled DSP Manager to avoid conflicts

4) In Playback Gain Control I selected effect strength = Extreme and Max gain 10x

5) In Master Gate I selected Output gain = 6.0 db

It is a little bit extreme (so probably introducing some distortion) but I often watch movies while commuting and low volume was a real problem for me (considering the external noise).

For less noisy environments you can certainly lower the settings.

Thanks for the suggestion!!

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] degiovab:
Don't know. :confused:

I read here that:

- FX has many audio effects, where as XHiFi restores audio quality. If you like many effects (reverb, bass, surround) then choose FX, if you like clear audio/vocal and you have a good headset, choose XHiFi. You can also install both, more CPU usage, that's all.

Since I only needed to pump up the volume, I opted for XHiFi.

...and that's a great objective, so please do not halt your efforts.

I simply shared what I did to allow others to address the problem temporarily. :good:

The Dolby needs to be there those audio mods would work a ton better with it. Try going back to stock rom and use a simple equalizer and youll see what im talking about.

Also those audio mods dont really work to well with netflix and xfinity player.

With viper, my volume literally shakes my device in any audio situation with it turned up past 75% +. I usually keep my volume lower than max to avoid speaker damage.

To clarify, that's just viper4droid fx installed, with very little effort into toying with settings. YouTube, streaming video services, apollo...ALL of them are too loud

I have a question here because I am kind of at a loss. Tried cm and after only about 30 minutes my kindle seems to get bogged down and runs really sluggish. It won't hardly scroll and it can take apps up to a minute to open, this is with my CPU maxxed at 1.5 ghz. Switched roms to PA because I had read that the PA team had put a lot of work into making it a really stable Rom, but exact same scenario. I cleared recent apps in both cases and it helped for about 10 minutes and then went back to being sluggish. Looked into System Tuner to look at what was going on but saw that the cpu was only under about a 15 to 20% load while running System Tuner. I'm going to try to switch back to cm and see how that goes. I have also completely wiped my kindle of everything. The only mod I am using is I use Apex for my launcher. Anybody else in a similar situation or any ideas any feedback would be appreciated. My kindle is almost unusable right now it is so slow.

Grab free Titanium Backup from the market (tho it's worth every penny for the pro)

Titanium Backup your apps+data

If you have a launcher that supports a backup, run that (Apex/Nova)

Drop the ROM on the device + gapps

Reboot to recovery

Do the standard wipe (no need to wipe what's in /data/media (sdcard) IMHO)

Flash new ROM + gapps

Reboot

Re-do setup wizard

Download Titanium Backup from the Market

Restore apps+data

Restore launcher backup

Profit.

Technically speaking, you don't lose anything. But you do run the risk of having strange bugs, battery drain, etc. because when you dirty flash some of your system settings from your previous Rom are retained. So, if you experience problems you will need to do a clean install then. That's why most devs just reccommend a clean install right from the start because more than likely in the long run it will save you time and prevent unnesecary bugs.
