Since this is just AOSP, when it updates, Hashcode will as well. My guess.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I re-updated the build for this ROM to use the master branch of AOSP. Its still 4.3 r2.1 but shows as openmaster in the settings, and has a constant stream of changes.

Also coming in the next version is a new 3.0.72 kernel with all of Google's changes.

And once I post the next build, i'll get the manifest setup for devs who want to use it as a base.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andPS2:
with the new kernel will trim and the longer accu time come?

and is there a way to reboot into recovery?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Trim handling is included in the new fsmounter, but I'm not sure about longer accu time. I'll need to confirm that I have all of the kernel settings correct as I'm still finding new options needed for 4.3.

And my plan was to fork a few AOSP projects and include some basic "usage" features over time:

- Volume Quick Setting

- Reboot to Recovery

- Etc.

We'll see how long that takes :P

Was full duplex audio ever implemented in a kernel -- where we could hear audio come out of headphones at the same an audio stream from the microphone could be processed? This was something that was kicked around long ago that could turn the kindle into a wifi phone. I wonder if it ever saw the light of day.

Seem to be having a problem with wl1271_wake wakelock. Sounds like wifi driver in kernel? Granted I am still getting around 1.4% drain/hr however on twa_priv's CM 10.1 SGT7 ROM I was getting around 0.4% :laugh:

Sorry for thievery basic question, but is this really all that is needed to update a KF from 6.3.2 to android 4.3?

Download the ROM ZIP

Download GAPPS

Download the ZIP

Place all files on your device

Reboot into recovery

Make your backup (You do make a backup right?)

Wipe Data/Cache)

Flash the ROM, gapps and superuser.zip

Reboot and Enjoy

I have flashed my phones in the past and surprised that I don't need to root the kindle first.

I have children who have KF's bought in the states but we live in Europe, so changing to an android version that can allow google play etc would help a lot.

Also is the speed the same as the like to watch video's on the kindles when travelling.

Lastly if I mess it up is it easy to go back to stock KF?

Thanks and sorry for the basic questions.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ace42:
Just use the KF utility to root and then get the FFF boo loader that's on the 1st on second page. After that you do the steps you listed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rcolddroid:
This is a custom rom and all such need root!

Installation note borrowed from twa_priv thread with additions from this thread:

Installation:

Make sure you have the latest FFF and Recovery (TWRP or COTR) installed (note -instructions can be found in another thread of this development page)..

Make a backup !!! (so you can return to stock KF).

Download Hashcode's Rom, 4.3 Gapps, and SuperUser SU.

Wipe cache, dalvik, data and system (full wipe)

Install (Flash) the ROM, gapps and superuser.zip..

Reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shravbits:
Root it using Kindle Fire Utility which automatically installs TWRP and FFF 1.4a, make a backup in TWRP, download GAPPs and the ROM, and follow the instructions for flashing included in the description of the ROM.

When I tried to install the ROM it told me that it couldn't find the MD5. After rebooting it was stuck on the boot animation. Anyone else have this problem? Any idea how to fix it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
Do you have FireFireFire installed?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Cdeldridge:
Well, I installed and ran Smirkit so I thought I did. Should I just flash the FFF zip? Also I don't understand what this means on the FFF 1.4A page: "TARGET_RECOVERY_PRE_COMMAND := "idme postmode 1;"

Your builds will need to also have a working "idme" binary and the "libidme.so" lib for the reboot recovery option to work.

Both of these are in the prebuilts of the device tree on github:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Learn to use fastboot so you don't let some other software f it up and well know how to fix error like this. Use fastboot to install bootloader, recovery, then flash everything else.

When you flashed the ROM, did you factory reset first?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Cdeldridge:
Um, no. I wiped system, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache. Guess I'll try factory reset (didn't know I was supposed to).

can anybody recommend me a widget for audio volume to deal with kindle fire not having hardware keys for that? thanks.

I have KFU running and installed TWRP and FFF.

How do I flash the rom and the gapps zip?

I have copied them to the root of the kindle, but they are still zip files.

In TWRP I see and install option but wondered if it was for installing apps and didn't want to try to use is to flash a rom before enquiring.

So how do I do the flash of the rom?

Thanks in advance..

BTW I have read all 11 pages of this thread and if I missed the instructions then sorry. ;)

I now have my 1st kindle working. 3 others to do.

This question is not related to 4.3, but wondered if anyone could help.

When I upgrade I obviously lose my apps and any in app content, say high scores etc.

Is there any way of backing up this or even the apps, so they can be reinstalled / restored after the upgrade, without reinstalling and incompatible app?

Thanks

your latest kindle kernel (3.0.50 i believe) from the stock roms doesnt support trim - at least lagfix free says so

so u plan on releasing a 3.0.72 before working on the 3.4 kernel?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kevin1a:
The ROM looks and runs great. Thanks for putting things together! I've only found one bug.

/dev/tun is missing. In order to form a connection using openVPN there needs to be a valid tun.ko, and the latest one I can find for the Kindle Fire is for 4.2.2

I'm not exactly an Android genius. What would it take to make this work? Would the kernel just need to be recompiled with the missing module added back in?

I can set up a connection using L2TP for now using the native client, but that feature is kind of screwey too (google's fault this time).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Hello,

I checked the kernel config and it's set to:

CONFIG_TUN=y

So the tun.ko module isn't external but instead built-in. Does this cause problems?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kevin1a:
Hashcode, thanks for the response. Now that you mention it, I do remember reading something about how sometimes it's built in depending on the phone. My VPN provider's openVPN app doesn't see the file like that for whatever reason, but that sounds like their problem not a problem with the configuration of the kernel.

Is anyone else in this thread using this rom with openVPN? Maybe I'll put in a ticket with my VPN provider and see what they have to say about internal kernel modules.

I know it's kind of a sideline concern. It's not really a feature that a lot of people are going to use, but thanks for dignifying it with a response. :)

Ok! This is fresh out of the oven:

STEP 1: GET ANDROID 4.3.1_r1

[10/10] AOSP master branch build + 3.0.72+ KERNEL

Mirror #1: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter/aosp/jb-4.3.1_r1-otter-2013-10-10.zip

MD5SUM: 04313b0362df60ef3e1d12d86a58d53a

STEP 2: GET GAPPS

Jelly Bean 4.3 Gapps here

STEP 3: (OPTIONAL) IF YOU NEED ROOT, I RECOMMEND SUPERUSER/SU BY CHAINFIRE FOR AOSP 4.3

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

PLACE ALL 3 .ZIPS ON YOUR DEVICE AND FLASH IN RECOVERY. WIPE CACHE/DALVIK

NOT WORKING

Bootanimation still displays badly for first 10 seconds or so during bootup

No MIC input yet

Wifi will occasionally stop working -- turning it off/on will re-enable

NOTES

No real kernel changes for this

Do not keep your brightness on max, this will eventually cause a thermal situation that ends in a black screen / non-responsive device which requires a long power button press/release to reset (20 seconds).

NOTE about the "master" branch of AOSP: Basically the master branch is a heavy development branch for android. It is the very bleeding edge of whatever is current. Thought, it does NOT contain sources for 4.4 or unreleased versions.

I had been having a few spontaneous reboots (once a week or so) with jb-4.3_r2.1-otter-2013-07-24 to decided to try and upgrade to jb-4.3.1_r1-otter-2013-10-10.

The update seemed to work but I had nothing but app crashes. So I factory defaulted it (and wiped cahche/dalvik) but still no progress.

So regrettably I am back to jb-4.3_r2.1-otter-2013-07-24. But it seems faster now, even though the last time I also defaulted it after the ROM installation (I almost always do anyway).

I guess I will skip 4.3.1 and wait for a stable version of 4.4.

My plan is to do the AOSP build of 4.4 on the 3.4 kernel which provides better video handling. Hence the delay.

Hi - has anyone bought a new Blue Angel device recently and had problems with the in call voice quality, specifically that your voice is too quiet or cuts out when talking softly?

This seems to be a problem with earlier Blue Anngels (mine included) and was wondering if any type of hardware fix has been implemented in newly produced models (software wise, radio 1.12 improves things a little for me, though the quality is still poor).

Chris.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mniko:
I agree with you chris...

Sound quality in Blue Angel is really crap.... even with new Radio version is the same... I hope they could come up with some solution for this also the known cant hear the calls..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Jiggy:
Call Quality Sucks continued

This is an age old problem with this device through all ROMs.

I am yet to meet anyone who is satisfied with the voice quality. It is probably the worst when you have the device against your ear and is suggestive that they really cocked up putting a tiny microphone hole at the bottom of the device. I have resorted to cupping my hand over the bottom of the device against ear. You can be heard provided (i) there isn't much background noise and (ii) you don't have a low/soft voice :D

The bluetooth is better but is really scratchy beyond a couple of metres. I am told this isn't really improved markedly by the new Radio/Broadcom Roms etc.

We need a poll specifically on this issue :?:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] DUTCH:
@ Jiggy: You need to update your radio... you still have v1.0

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] GaMeR64:
Hey Dutch,

Could you tell me if u have experienced the bad sound quality (on the other end of the line) with older roms? I have a 9090 since it was first out and i have always had people complaining to me about the bad sound quality and echo`s with every update i tried. The sound quality on my side of the line is perfect. I haven`t yet upgraded to 1.40/Radio 1.12 because there is only the cooked rom.

It really bothers me that HTC doesn`t fix this. There have been about 3 to 4 roms now (official and non-official) and none of the roms seem to fix this problem. And a lot of people have this.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] DUTCH:
True, altho from Radio 1.08 on it's been OK for me. Radio 1.12 really fixes the problem. Now still some work to be done @ BT ;)

What kind of device do you have? A Dutch Qtek?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] GaMeR64:
I don`t think it is dutch. It comes from a dutch distributor but it was grey import. It also didn`t come with a dutch user guide. I talked to them today and told them about my problem, but they said: If u want i can send it to Qtek for you, but they won`t solve the problem. I already know. Qtek says it just can`t be fixed.

HTC should really be kicked in the nuts for this HUGE mistake. Or they should at least appologise for it and offer the people with problems something else.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ronron_s:
Hi,

I have just purchased the i-mate PDA2K (May 2005) and have not made too many phone calls so far. It is difficult to say how other people find how it sounds but I have asked them and they say it is OK and until now I have not had anyone complaining. Maybe they are just curtious and do not want to complain :-)

I am in US right now and the signal in my area is not that good but the PDA2K unit seems to work equaly as good (or bad) radio wise as my previous "ordinary" mobile Motorola 180.

I will some time try to connect the original handsfree headset and see if the one I am talking to will note any differences. I have also on order a bluetooth SCALA 500 and it will be interresting to see if it works fine and how people find the sound quality.

Regards,

Ronny
