:highfive: back for taking the time to help. Side load didn't work (the upgrade button doesn't highlight). The help page just suggests confirming location and battery level. Still messing with it to see what I can find. Thanks again. You have me hope, now that I have the upgrade file on the kindle.

Amazon instant video hasn't worked for the past two days. Keeps getting" an error has occurred". Any ideas? I'm on 7.4.8 and 3.3.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] escrimps:
Just checked and Amazon Instant Vision works for me. I have the same S/W as you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dmullens:
Thanks. Guess I'll have to take my tablet to work and check it there...could be something with my network, but I can stream on my PC without issue. I thought it might be that they updated the software and I'd have to go back to stock. Thanks again for checking.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dmullens:
Tried using Amazon video at my office...same results. It changes to landscape mode and then says, "An error has occurred. Please try later."

Wasn't sure what to do..then thought to go into the applications settings, find Amazon Video and clear the data and cache. Now it is working. Should have though about that earlier.

Yeah! Glad you got it working.

Having trouble booting

I decided to come to Kinology from CM11 because I was having major performance issues(such as it would take 5 minutes for Chrome to open up and most of the time it would just crash within 5 minutes) and for some reason it just gets stuck on the boot animation and gets hot. I did a full wipe before I tried flashing Kinology. PLEASE HELP

If that's why you left you obviously didn't read the thread as you would have been notified that that and another previous nightly were very bad and to stay on a nightly before those and wait for the fix in a new one.

Google maps, no location

Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

With V7 and above of google maps on kinology it cannot find the current location, falling back to V6 works but I'd like to get to the latest maps if possible. My understanding is that this needs the setting of a new option on the google account settings 'Let google apps access your location' the problem is that the Kinology/Amazon account editor does not offer this setting, on my normal android phone it is under

Settings/Accounts-Google/Location Settings/Let Google apps access your location

is there any other way of toggling on this setting? another app that switches it on? another app to edit the account settings?

Please add to DevDB

Great Rom!

All the amazon stuff works and so does gmail and google maps etc.

Could you please add this rom to the DevDB so people can find it in the "ROMS" tab? It's a useful tool for rating and comparing (and keeping track of) roms.

Hey all...

I flashed the 3 files as instructed in the Op, and everything seemed to be in order. On first boot the Play Store started updating app's and was quick.

Upon reboot, I first noticed that TWRP no longer seems to be there. Second, once booted up, I am getting Google Play Services has stopped, and my Play Store app is gone. I also noticed when I run SuperSU, it says there is no binary installed, so I don't seem to have root.

Have I done something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

will there come an update of Kinology including the newest update of Kindle Fire HD Software 7.4.9? Since this update came up,

it is not longer possible to download movies from Instant Video if you are on 7.4.8.

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JulianPaoloThiry:
The (unfortunate) answer is in the OP.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ForrestGump83:
Is it maybe possibe for you to create a mior update, which only includes the newest InstantVideo app and all depending files? I

tried to extract it from 7.4.9 and install maually to the Kinology Kindle, but then Login didn't work. When trying to watch a movie

I was always send back to the movie selection screen.

So it would be great if you could provide such an update. Thanks in advance.

Problems

Hi all,

I've been using Kinology for a couple of years now. I'm pretty sure I'm up to date. Over the past few weeks things have been "odd." A couple of days ago we were heading out of town so I turned off my kindle. Today when I turned it on, it seemed to work okay...for about five minutes, but then things started crashing...mostly Google stuff; play services, media, various apps. I tried to check the storage, but I would just be "kicked out" of the settings screens back to home.

I've uninstalled some apps, but I can only use it for about five minutes before things start crashing.

Is anyone else having this issue? Is there an easy way to restore back to Kinology? It's been a while since I've worked with the ROMs and such and I'm hoping there's a way to get things fixed up without spending my day setting up my PC to connect with the Kindle, etc., etc.

Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] CalebQ42:
I would just suggest flashing the rom again without wiping anything but system, then if that doesn't work, try wiping everything then flashing.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] raj3366:
Try clearing the cache by going to the recovery and restarting. If that does not work, then you have to follow the suggestions in the previous post.

You don't need access to the computer to do any of these. I just flashed kinology again like two days ago in like 15 minutes, coming from CM ROM.

Take a nandroid backup before attempting to reflash. Let me know if you need detailed instructions.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dmullens:
Thanks for the responses.

I wasn't concerned with the data on the tablet because I can get most of it back, so I flashed both the wipe data nobackup and the kinology-aio zip files. When the system booted up I was surprised to see my usual setup. All my data was there and everything was setup the way it had been. Then about five or ten minutes later all the google services apps started crashing (hangouts, google services, google play store, etc., etc.)..

Not sure why the flash didn't seem to do anything (at least the wipe data one didn't). I guess I'll try it again. The first time I was doing other things and wasn't watching the screen all that closely, but it did finish. Thanks for the help. I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't a hardware issue somewhere.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

Does doing a full wipe (which wipes data) also wipe the files in the /sdcard directory? I have the installation zips in SDCARD/. I really don't want to lose those. Where is the best place to store those files on the tablet, so they won't be deleted during a wipe? Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] CalebQ42:
It doesn't write the sdcard unless you wipe it in the advanced wipe menu
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
If I were you, I would open TWRP, tap Wipe, go to advancxxed wipe, and check everything except for Internal Storage. This will wipe cache, system, and all data except for /sdcard. You can then go back to Install and install Kinology again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dmullens:
Just for a final update..after I did the wipe, I could only get to the Kindle Fire splash with fire in blue. After leaving it like that for quite a while, I decided to do a system restore. I had trouble with that too since I had rest my computer to factory defaults and none of the Kindle drivers would work. I was finally able to get fastboot working (I have a cable...thankfully) and after doing a restore twice, my Kindle is back to 7.3.0.

I love Kinology, but I have a feeling there might be some hardware issue going on with my Kindle...so I'll probably leave it on stock for a while. At least I have fastboot working....

Thanks for all the guidance!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rightjb:
Thank you.

I just wanted to say that my experience with Kinology has been about the BEST experience I've ever had with a custom rom. I have to move to a larger unit with LTE and will be abandoning my HD 7 - but wouldn't hesitate to buy an HDX 8.9 IF Kinology was on it. Unfortunately since I'm either stuck with an all Amazon or all all 4.4 tablet - (I'm likely chosing the Galaxy Tab 10), I'll truly miss the seamless flexibility and integration of Kin.

But both developers and the threadsters out here have been unparalleled.

thanks again.

Kinology only for the Kindle Fire HD7 development
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jaxbierley:
I'm currently running CM12 and was running CM11. As this is still all the way back on ICS is it at all frustrating to not be up to date with android as far as that is concerned?? While typing this I am downloading kinology anyway and will do a backup and then flash kinology just to try personally. Just wondering what makes it so amazing to you??

UPDATE: After installing it I gotta say it seems like the kindle runs smoother.. And it's nice to have the kindle carousel back.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] galearned:
Good day: I think one of the primary reasons for 7.4.9 not installing properly due to no room might be that the officesuite is installed as a system app which takes up a larger amount of space. 7.5.1 will not allow root to be installed without some work because of no space. If the office suite is removed prior/during rooting, the process works. Could be a similar issue with 7.4.9? If this is the case and office suite is removed, could Kinology them be updated for 7.4.9. or 7.5.1?

Is there a way to force-redo step 1? I started with the Step 1 files and then rebooting to recovery, but my Kindle hung at the blue Kindle fire screen and eventually after 5 minutes or so scrambled to a blue pattern. I've been trying to wipe and reset the system to reflash, but I can not only get the Kinology logo to show and then the screen just fades to black and hangs after a few minutes of spinning around. ADB recognizes the device, but can't connect (also hangs).

I should also mention that I've been running Kinology 3.1 for over a year, but decided to try updating/rolling back after having problems with the Google Play store crashing constantly. I see now that someone has post information on fixing this. (If only I saw that sooner).
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hafficci:
Google Play Services crashed too

Here it is another one with the 'Google Play Services' crashing over and one again (really ****ed up!!). As other buddies said before, reinstalling doesn't help at all, so I guess it must be something related to Google apps (maybe and update??).

I'll follow what you say, BuQQzz. I'll tell you back if it helps in KHD7".

hey all,question...so from what ive gathered ,there is no fix for the "google play service error." i keep getting?? thanks for the help Id appreciate it
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] chrisd87:
The solution is to go to the Play Store on the device and uninstall the Google Play Services update by pressing Uninstall. This will resolve the issue. Some people have reported that simply clearing the google play services cache will fix the issue, but for me I had to uninstall the update
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] 5fdprox:
Ahhhh..Thanks so much,im gonna flash again but I dont remember even seeing the update after I had flashed..Ill check back and let you know,thanks for your time!!!!

yea im not even seeing the update in the playstore,all i see is gmail and i cant get anywhere else..weird! really like this ROM for my 8 year old,but this error is killing me!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] lichan:
I tried many different "fixes" that I found here and across the web, clearing cache & data, re-installing the ROM w/o wifi enabled so I could get in and try to stop Google Play Store and Play Store Services from auto updating when I went live, installing an old gapps package, dropping the Google account and reinitializing it, etc. I could not keep Play Services from automatically updating and starting the endless parade of "Play Services has stopped" errors. Now, get ready for this . . .

The solution to stopping the error is going back one level from this thread and installing Hashcode's CM 12 ROM (Lollypop 5.1.1) and saying good bye to Kinology forever. Whatever Google did to screw up the Play Store several weeks ago is not going to be fixed and there's no work-around that will solve it for everyone.

I have a Sero 7 Pro tablet and what ever Google did made it unable to update or install apps on the tablet, from the store or side-loaded. Everything gives a "Package file is invalid" error. So, never update or install a new app or find a Lollypop ROM, of which there are two available but LP does not play nicely with Mounts2SD and DK_zero_cool has pretty much stopped supporting it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] FidiS:
I followed the instructions from http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd...y-services-7-3-28-stopping-t3086528?nocache=1

You have to downgrade the google play services and prevent the automatic update for them.

The fix works already for over a moth on my KFHD7 with no crashes.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] shauggy:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hafficci:
I think maybe it's too late, but CM was really crashing my Kindle Fire, and I had to come back again to Kinology.

Just trying to open Google Play, and showers of 'Google Play Services is not working' every 5 damned seconds!! :crying:

Like you, I've tried every workaround on the net, but nothing seemed to fix the bug, but then I tried one of the last things I found: nothing but uninstalling Google Play Services. And, you could ask: how?? If you have a look at the Application Manager, there is no way to do that... I installed ES File Explorer from the Amazon Market, and tried to have Google Play Service banned forever. My surprise was that all that it do was uninstalling the update!! Everything works ok now, and I can use my KFHD better than ever!! :victory:

From time to time i get a notification that Hangsout and Gmail can't work if not getting the Google Play Service updated but doesn't bother two much :good:

The only thing I miss, and don't know why is not working, is the USB on the go, but can live with that. Does Anybody know how to get it fixed??

Thanks a lot!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gfcaetano:
My KFTT was crashing everytime with CM too, so I decided to go back and installed Kinology this weekend. Same issue here... Google Play Services interrupted everytime. How did you uninstall its update?

Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hafficci:
As I said in my last post, all you have to do is installing ES File Explorer > Uninstall Google Play Services: That's all!! Doing that you don't uninstall the app, just the update that comes with the Rom. Everything will be fine ahead.

Last piece of advice: better not to update never again Google Play Services!!

It'll be nice if someone could fix Flash player for this version.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hinzman420:
Thanks thats the same one i keep downloading. I think the problem with the flash has to do with amazons new experimental streaming viewer, you can disable it in silk browser settings at the bottom. I disabled it and was playing movies on dolphin browser with flash player but i was only on the new kinology for a few days so i didnt really mess with it. Great rom tho, keep going back to stock i cant get the same sound volume out of any rom so im stuck with stock for now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JulianPaoloThiry:
I have been looking into the Flash issue quite a lot. While I still do not have a fix, I can tell you the following:

It's not the shared libraries - rolling back all /lib folders does not fix it.

It's not related to Silk in any way - Silk uses its own version of WebKit that is not the standard system version.

It's a bit more pervasive than just Flash - for example, it seems that not only does Flash not work, but Dolphin is unable to load JetPack as well.

What I do know is that Amazon made some pretty sweeping changes to the package management classes. They introduced Vendor callbacks to bring in shared apk files to the classpath in a more consistent manner than what was there before. I've been over and over the changes with a fine-toothed comb, and can't seem to find any flaws.... That doesn't mean there aren't any, of course, but after ruling out pretty much everything else, the only thing left is the framework changes.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
I don't like the need to install multiple files, especially if using CWM. Is there a way you could pack it all in to one zip?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JulianPaoloThiry:
A couple of points here. First, if you follow the install directions, you actually install Kinology with TWRP. This process provides a consistent installation environment so that I can guarantee it works all the time and not have to fight differences between recovery versions. After installation, feel free to swap out your recovery to whatever you want.

Second, the files are split for good reason. Each step is fully separable, allowing the user to do what they want. You can install a stock deodexed ROM from these files by just installing Step 1, etc, etc. You can then play with it for a bit before deciding to move on to the next step and continue the process without starting over. Additionally, this separation ensures that no one is stepping on anyone's toes - the Amazon stuff is distributed separately from the modified stuff, separately from the Google stuff.

All that being said, if I can find a large file host that I like, I may yet look into producing a single-file (or at least fewer-file) install.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
It's worked great so far. . .and it's your rom. . . we are happy any way you deliver it :good::good:

Thank you for taking this rom forward and updating it with the new base! Aside from the non-flash thing (which I discover I use(d)/needed less than I thought). . . it is the best! ;)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
Ok, so after a while of using ver 3, I really like it!

Thank you JulianPaoloThiry for the update.

- My Antutu score is a respectable 7343 -not the best possible I am sure, but not the worst either.

- The battery life is as good maybe a bit better than before --at least the new battery digital readout is large and clear ;)

- I have not used or missed Flash, although like everyone else I would like to have the capability and am sure to bump into a site or video one of these days that won't play because of it. . .

The install (I recall) was a bit confusing -having to manually reboot recovery at the start. It was a surprise, but I don't think I read the explanation or the OP carefully enough -but it also was not rocket science and worked well.

One sign of a good rom is when the thread dies down and people focus on using it not fixing it. . . I think your version is already there!

Thanks again!

Hi i just got my new KFHD and this Rom seems great and all the user's coments seem tu suport this, But as some people said before having no flash seems as a deal breaker for me :S may i ask if Kinology can be built over a lower version of Amazon OS like 7.4.3 (which is what im using right now and seems to still be flash compatible) and save us the pain of coping with no flash? Thx u so much
