Awesome! Thanks for all your hard work. I hope this doesn't mean we're going to lose the Otter :cool:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
That tweak just got merged, enjoy your snappy boot animation :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] erad1:
Congratulations... and thanks for keeping this rom running great for us.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Is wifi stable now? And congratulations, we need devs like you and hashcode for a stable cm.

I'm taking a break from building and want to enjoy art on a really good ROM... and this was the first kitkat rom I flashed
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Well, wifi working fine on my tablet, I'd rather you test it out on your ROM though :)

also would be appreciated if you could test rest of patches haven't got merged yet http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/owner:"Taichi+Nishimura"+status:open,n,z
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
In away from my PC for now I'll test layer for sure. WiFi is running very well and I'm on art. Thank you for this!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ncvikingx97:
I've got a quick question for you guys. I recently just dug out my kindle fire, and t seems I'm getting an error every time I try to flash this ROM, or any other kit kat ROMs. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Are you using TWRP version 2.6.3.1? It's a necessity for KitKat ROMS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ncvikingx97:
Yep, still not sure what the issue is.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
The commit is tested, and loved by me :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Is it safe to assume you've tried wiping/formatting the various partitions before installing the ROM? Have you verified the ROM download is good? Have you tried unchecking zip signature verification in TWRP when flashing? Can you install older ROMS, like JellyBean?

I'm out of ideas at this point. Perhaps someone with more intimate knowledge of the inner workings of Android, KF, and TWRP can help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Alright, last build has a commit that boost shutdown sequence, I'd appreciate if anyone could confirm that works as intended http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/62092/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I'll test it later. I'm away from my kindle for now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Can you also test out following commits?

Settings: Do not enable Camera widget on non-camera devices: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/62158/

otter-common: Enable continuous splash feature https://github.com/TaichiN/android_...mmit/d6c0233f0bc35515474ea0fb743e81f34722e50b
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I'll do it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] johnny2678:
Thanks for maintaining this ROM. I dusted off my Fire and flashed this weeks night lies (20140401 on up to today's). Is WiFi performance still an issue? Mine has been dog slow regardless of the version flashed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Well, That part is exactly same as Official Nightly and I haven't seen any issues recently but I think that depend on your connection. I mean reception, etc...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
All commits work as intended. Thanks for all your hard work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Well, latest build need a wipe Trebuchet data due to simply you can't downgrade database... sorry about that :/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
The latest build has been addressed the gms issue for some users suffering since Google Play Services 4.3 http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/66314/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dethknite:
July builds seem to never wake up after the screen goes off. The power button will not wake it, although I can connect to it via MTP and browse it. I have to hard reboot it and it does the same.

Clean install of 20140722... no setting changes... and this still occurs. I am using the PA 4.4.4 micro gapps package btw.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Yeah...I've also noticed that but seems to be fixed on latest build https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/75a2ee594936d69b47e2fdba773bd5281c928cda
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
[MENTION=1982549]Fuzz_[/MENTION] my smartassV2 governor sorts it out, see my kernel github and add smartassV2 to your kernel, it has a "wake up frequency setting which i set at 1.2ghz and haven't experienced that issue since, it just gives it the initial kick it needs☺.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JimDandy68:
Stupid question? Is there any way to get older nightlies of this ROM? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
on a side note, the k34 builds are HIGHLY experimental. Meaning: I'm trying different things to set the device up as best I can for future updates, etc.

They may not always boot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Yeah, I know... recently I've tested for make sure it boot up before uploading k34 build.

and I believe all my users knows it's very EXPERIMENT...

Anyway, thanks for your awesome work.Hit me when you need some help, I will ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] davall:
Inspired by this thread I build successfully PAC-man 22.3.0 from source for Kindle 1st gen. Was running paranoid rom 2.54 before on the fire.

Especially the new kernel is great. The device sleeps during the night like a baby (-1%).

Thanks to fuzz, twa_priv and hashcode for their work on the Kindle devices. Your enthusiasm and service for the Kindle devices is unbelievable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] firered365:
Will you be releasing it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] davall:
I have no time to give support, but I'm willing to help get it compiled. It's easy as 1-2-3.

You can ask via pm to not spam this thread!

Sorry.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I need you to hold off on the 3.4 builds for a while. i may have damaged my usb port while rebuilding the power driver.

I'm a bit nervous about commiting changes as they may end up on a few devices and cause a lot more damage to unsuspecting folks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Alright, I understand it could be harm USB port and hold off 3.4 build until hear from you further information.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Sorry about previous build since it seemed breaks the backup functionality if you do a "dirty flash"...

just uploaded new one, very EXPERIMENTAL but it's booting and fiixed that woes ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joshua.1980:
Just uploaded most current rom 20130620 and when I go to access Security I get a "Unfortunately,Settings has stopped"

I noticed this on the previous rom"619" as well....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
confirmed.From logcat, that "Privacy guard support" commit breaks Security setting...

I will look into it when get home.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joshua.1980:
Awesome, Thanks! :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
just reviewed that commit and posted the issue http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/44193/

I've already fixed in my internal repo, will be fixed on next build ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
new build is up.Sorry for delaying, i've been very busy with my work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
I appreciate the hard work. And i know everyone else does too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
I'm currently working on http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/44675/

Could somebody test it with Bluetooth GPS on otter? Unfortunately I don't have USB BT dongle and BT GPS so I can't test it for now.

EDIT: forgot to mention, latest build has this feature ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joshua.1980:
Flashed your most current cm10.2 with the 20130726 gapps and its running great. No issues what so ever....... Great Job waiting for the next update!! :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Have you ever tried Google maps? I've just noticed current location button do nothing but not sure if it's related to ROM or not.

I will look into that later today if I had time.

and that Focal app... it's just replaced with Camera app and I know that kicks ass new feature, but shouldn't be build with our device, IMHO :P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joshua.1980:
I'll install Google Maps here in a bit and let you know..... I got a little time on my hands

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

Was wondering why that Focal app was installed, lol I went ahead and disabled it

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

Ok I downloaded Google Maps 7.0.2 from Play Store and runs smooth, very smooth. After install I pushed the current location button in which it stated that i needed to turn on location settings, after turning on Google location settings the button doesn't do anything, "cross checked the apps settings versus the Google settings app." If you go to settings in maps and press "Map History" and if you have your history pre-entered and press on it... it will take you to the destination.

Seems you have to work around the button......
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
aha, as I expected. Thanks for testing anyway ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Forgot to mention the fact...

CM 10.2 is very early access build, bringing up at this stage so most likely something breaks by default... as I posted.

I just wanted to let you know how is like bringing up new Android version... until it's gone Nightly build (gone stable)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joshua.1980:
I like the sizeable font :thumbup:

Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
great smooth rom, thankyou:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
im curious how this compares to my stock cm10.2 build.

I'm considering kernel updates to 3.0.88 + google/common changes, but I'm not sure that it will make a difference.

And that's one of the biggest differences in this ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zenihilist:
For me this rom was equally stable but not quite as smooth as yours. No other obvious difference.

Thanks to all the devs!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
All the euroskank builds has cherry picks from CyanogenMod’s Gerrit Instance based on CM Nightly build, your work :)

and I think that's the biggest differences, IMHO
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joshua.1980:
Newest ROM works nice and smooth. No issues from what I'm running.

Cm launcher is borked in today's nightly, it constantly FC's on fresh install.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Hmm, assuming Cm launcher == Trebuchet but just fine to me... need a logcat
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ace42:
Yeah that(forgot how to spell that), it's okay after reflashing now.

Edit: Believe these were related to my crashes earlier...

* Fix crash when creating preview cache table * Fix crash when switching between Apps/Widgets tabs
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
How did you know your crash was related to those commits? I asked you a logcat but those were already merged, should be good ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ace42:
I only guessed, I didn't bother with log since I'm too lazy for that. Besides I use the Sony Honamai launcher(way faster than aosp launcher).

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ace42:
Fuzz is there any chance you'll add tablet mode?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
If you submit a change for tablet mode to the gerrit, im sure Fuzz would take a look at it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ace42:
The new cm welcome setup thing is nice in 8-22. Btw does anyone know if Smart reflex(voltage) control actually functions on KF?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Alright, seems it's time to do a full wipe (clean install) :cool:

Well, I dropped tons of those CAF commits on latest build... turned out requires clear all of those data or most likely you'd have epic FCs :eek:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BigFuzzyArchon:
how long should the first boot take? been sitting at the CM boot logo for almost 10 minutes...did full reset, latest TWRP

edit

had to crash it and restart, booted up just fine
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joenun:
is it considered a full wipe if you flash kindle 6.2.3 firmware with twrp? does that clear all old system files etc. ??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
never flashed 6.2.3 firmware but I think it also can be applied and twrp has advancced wipe menu, you can choose system partition in there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joenun:
ok it's 6.3.2 but anyway when i try to flash back to stock it gets error saying "blaze" something.

i look in the build.prop and it is calling the device blaze in stead of otter. i downloaded the only available file for first gen kindle fire.

update-kindle-6.3.2_D01E_4110520.bin http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620#download
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
sorry but my ROM is based on CyanogenMod 10.2, AOSP based...

You're on the wrong thread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joenun:
oh you said you were doing a full wipe(clean install) so i thought you meant back to stock

my bad
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Well, that not means back to stock...

or rather the first thing you have to do if something went wrong on CM 10.2.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
just for clarifying about fast booting (in Performance settings)

That option meant for fast power on, when power off your device when enabled it, it looks exactly same as normal power off except you see the led blinking if you have notifications and if you hit the power button, you'll see the bootanimation for few seconds then device boot up very fast.

That's the fast booting, I like it ;)

But remember, it requires 'real' power off like every 7h or system might gone unstable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] firered365:
It shouldn't affect battery, right? And what LED notification?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Yeah, to some extent... but it's meant for fast power on, not a big deal to me.

sorry about LED notification things,that's for my other devices.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Anybody can tesing USB audio output? Unfortunately, I don't have one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Any comment would be appreciated http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/49468/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ace42:
What do you want tested? I'm on the latest nightly now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] erad1:
Happy to report that it is working here but with a catch...the volume does not adjust. It is set to the highest step on the indicator but its not really loud, sound quality is typical but not sure of it's my adapter at fault there. When I try to adjust the volume with headset controls its like there's only one step...full on or muted. I'm on 9/23 nightly and did just the cache wipes to get here from an earlier release.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Thanks for testing, will look into that if I could do something to fix the volume adjustment.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
"Kitkanged" OP

I want you to test, especially whether disable JIT do good for our low ram device or not http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53968/

Thanks in advance :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] podspi:
What recovery works with this? TWRP 2.6 isn't interested in flashing this at all, and I know other devices have had issues if you aren't using some bleeding edge recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] erad1:
Thanks for mentioning this as I was about to flash it. I have heard that TWRP doesn't work well with the new updater script/binaries of 4.4. But I wonder if you were to pull those from the previous 4.3.1 maybe? I have never tried CWM on this device but there is that COTR in here somewhere...not sure when it was last updated though!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.1 and have no issues so far.

only crespo having issue flashing cm11 with TWRP, but it's fine via latest CWM... at least for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] podspi:
The download zip is not flashable, although it looks like it contains a flashable zip :laugh:

I'm going to update TWRP (still on a much older version) then I'll flash and report back!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidsftw:
Just a suggestion, but you might want to add in the OP that you have to have TWRP 2.6.3.1 or it will not flash. TWRP 2.6.3.1 is the first version of TWRP for otter that supports android 4.4.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] podspi:
Super smooth, works awesome BUT:

No Wi-fi, and as hashcode said in another thread, it looks quite ghastly during rotating. Kindle has 133mb of memory free @ idle with nothing installed.

Edit: And switching to art bootlooped me.

Not ready for DD, but awesome progress! :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Wi-Fi should works on latest builds since we dropped TI specific wpa_supplicant.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rcolddroid:
tried the rom and loved it (super fast) but could not find gapps to flash n supersu binary update didn't work. any suggestions would be appreciated
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
Use GAPPS here:

http://goo.im/devs/loosethisskin/otter/cm-11.0/gapps-kk-20131113.zip

Rom is great, there's graphical glitches but can easily be DD. AOSP browser is unusable, i'm using firefox beta.

Definitely feels faster than 4.3, but still feels like old EOL tech.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
I can't flash the new TWRP update to 2.3.6.1, it gives me a status 7 error. If someone could update it to fix the error so I and maybe others could flash it, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
I was having that problem also.

Download the latest .img for your device here:

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/blaze

Copy it over to kindle

Install the app: flashify

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify

Use flashify to flash recovery
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sikahr:
Alternative GAPPS (works on this ROM - tested by me):

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291678134 - Banks Gapps (20 MB; only Basic syncing stuff and Playstore)

Rest of gapps can be selectively installed from play.

My preliminary conclusion

Cons:

- Graphical glitches (nothing important, in rotation and task manager)

- Android browser is unusable

Pros:

- Lots of free Ram in comparision to 4.3 ( I get more then 200 Mb with Clean master)

- Chrome works!!!! without graphical glitches and without FC

- all is fast&smooth

- all hardware(wifi, graphic, sound, sensors) works as in 4.3 except graphical glitches

Verdict

Best Fire ROM untill now, 4.4 is way to go, kudos to all developers, especially to Hash&Fuzz.

My recommendation to everybody to go 4.4 ASAP.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
Thank you so much, that did the trick definitely. Time to install CM11 :D

edit: twrp cant format data so i can't flash it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
What to wipe from cm10.2 by TWA_PRIV? I have the 9/13/2013 build. I really need all the data on the apps as I am doing science fair and have the bookmarks on the normal browser.:confused::confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
wipe cache and dalvik, that's really it. don't forget to install new apps tho
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sikahr:
I formated data with twrp 2.6.3.1 without problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
New apps?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
make sure you installed the right twrp for your device. there's otter and blaze on the link i sent you

the rom doesn't support transparent navigation bars for some reason... the default launcher and also nova launcher beta don't have it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] firered365:
ART is not working, huh?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
well it wouldnt allow me too

I did install the one for otter, and it still didn't allow me to.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
I've never seen that problem but you can try to:

1. Go into twrp settings and check rm -rf

2. Reflash recovery
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ace42:
Same issue. Art just bootloops, and I wish it worked because it's super effective on my nexus 4.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] firered365:
Yeah. Same here. Running Nexus 5 port on my N4 goes through beautifully. Some stutters here and there. Had to wipe and install when I enabled art on the kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lowridincrew,:
I'm about to load this thing up! Time to do a Titanium Back up
[Kindle Fire Android Development] beanboy89:
Just installed this. Updated to TWRP 2.6.3.1 and flashed the ROM. The install process went fairly smoothly, but I was having some problems connecting to WiFi, but eventually got connected to one of my access points. I do have a few questions, however. Is there a way to add a "screenshot" menu choice to the power menu? Also, is there a way to enable the swipe left for Google Now using using the stock launcher? I have Google Search/Now installed. Thanks for the nice ROM!

Edit: As far as WiFi goes, I can connect to one of my routers that has WEP enabled, but ones with WPA/WPA2 enabled fail.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lsab4007:
very appreciate for your great work. But I'm here to ask for help. I'm on the TWRP 2.6.3.0 and always get

Error executing updater binary in zip 'the ROM name'

error flashing zip 'the ROM name'

I've tried for three times and get the zip re-downloaded with the same error message

Update:Sorry for bothering. I just noticed that I should use the 2.6.3.1
[Kindle Fire Android Development] redsuns123:
any link to the gapps that we can use?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sikahr:
Choose for Yourself
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Alright, that noticeable commit for our device got merged and thanks for your many feedback :)

and yes, I also have recognized ART doesn't work properly for now. Do not switch to ART or your otter messing up really really bad.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rockstarar:
So is it confirmed that the WiFi only works with WEP?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
I haven't had any issue with WPA2. I never use WEP but it also would be works just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rockstarar:
Perfect! Thanks for your time
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
Did both, same problem persists.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lowridincrew,:
Working pretty nice for me, no hiccups. I basically use it for messaging and i got alot of hiccups on 4.1-4.3.1 but it runs smooth
[Kindle Fire Android Development] beanboy89:
Did a clean flash to the newest nightly, 20131119.0805, and still can't seem to connect to WiFi secured with WPA or WPA2, only still working with WEP. And before anyone asks, I have three access points set up on my network, all with different levels of encryption, for different devices. :P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jacobloveskindles:
While I am impatiently awaiting 4.4 on my nexus 7 I might want to put this on my kindle. Has anyone experienced problems installing this with twrp 2.5?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
It only works with 2.6.3.1 but data mounting doesn't work so it would be too much of a hassle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] erad1:
Up and running with no WiFi connection issues here...using WEP at work and WPA2 at home. Had to toggle airplane mode to kick start the first time connecting though. Also am able to format data with the latest TWRP, although I'm not quite sure how to format system with it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KindleUser:
Well it won't let me no matter what I try. So I'm out of luck until it's fixed. :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joshua.1980:
Was having a issue with not able to connect to WiFi after trial and error go into security and disable Android's administrator . then I was able to connect to WiFi
[Kindle Fire Android Development] erad1:
are you sure you have selected the "advanced" tab in the wipe options just above the slider labeled "factory reset"? The options for data, dalvik, cache and android secure are there for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mikeric:
What settings did you change exactly? I can't get wifi to work.
