Well my Kindle finally started acting up after over a year on one of your old CM10 builds (not even close to the most recent CM10 build so that tells you how long its been since it got any love). The browser was becoming nearly unusable, and apps were force closing left and right. So last night I decided to put something more recent on there and considering how well the last ROM ran for that long I figured that another ones of your ROMs was the way to go. I flashed the most recent CM10.2 build and the old KF is back to running like a champ again. Thanks for your continued support twa_priv and great work!

Disguise your Kindle Fire as a Nexus 7 for 4.3.1

I updated the twa_priv Nexus 7 disguise script for 4.3.1 like I did for 4.3. I did it a while ago in anticipation of this release. Finally tried it and seems to be working fine.

is there a download mirror? goo seems to be down
[Kindle Fire Android Development] enormous:
Goo is back up, but it looks like they've hosed up their nginx config, so all pages just display the default "welcome to nginx" message. Would also love a mirror if anyone has it.

Edit: wouldn't you know it, minutes after I posted here goo.im started to come back to life. The home page is now back up, but http://goo.im/devs/loosethisskin/ is coming back blank. Hopefully just a data migration issue...

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
I had this same problem and no one really had an answer. Then I stumbled upon a thread and deep within it was the answer to black screen (i.e. Kindle not "turning back on" and having to hard reset it). The "trick" is to turn the wifi off when it sleeps. Basically go to WiFi and then settings and then advanced and either A: turn the wifi off when it sleeps or B: leave on only when charging. Your results may vary but having used this rom for 4 different kindles this seems to work every time. Give it a shot. What's the worst that could happen? You get the black screen and have to hard reset. LOL

This "fix" never worked for me but again your mileage may vary.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gg_99:
So somewhat off-topic, but twa_priv's avatar has always struck me as familiar but for a year or more could just not place it. And then when listening to some tunes on my phone today had "Spanish Bombs" by The Clash appear in my playlist. Imagine my surprise with the London Calling album artwork. Now that was an itch that took a long time to scratch.

Kitkat 4.4?

Hi,

Any idea whether we would see a AOSP Kitkat 4.4 build for the Kindle Fire? Any ETA?

regards,
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
If you are looking for an AOSP build post on the AOSP thread [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] is working on it. Soon.

No i meant a CM 11 / SGT 7 build like this ROM
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damngood98:
Cm11 is very very basic atm. I've used it on other devices and there are so few things implemented so far. Let's see if we can even get asop running on this first. Custom roms will follow easily enough
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Cl3Kener:
Hey guys!

I found a way to save on RAM (since we don't have much) and speed up this ROM until we can hopefully move to 4.4 and use ART runtime instead of dalvik. I happened upon this Universal Odexing script that works with this ROM. I just odexed everything including my frameworks without a single hitch using this very script http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2390162. (If you don't know what that means follow the link and it will tell you) Just follow the instructions, flash the script in recovery, and then open your terminal and enter "su" followed by "dexo -h" to see the lists of commands. I had to remove a few system apps (bluetooth, voice dialer, trebuchet - because I use Nova Launcher instead, gmail because it was already installed on my data partition, etc) using a root installer to make enough room to run the command "dexo -all". Many apps forced closed but on reboot everything was running much more smoothly.

The only tricky thing about this script is that "dexo -all" doesn't actually do "all" of the things. You also will need to run "dexo -dat" to odex your data partition (dexo -all only does your entire system partition). If you don't want to free up your system enough to run "dexo -all" I would recommend just pairing the commands "dexo -dat" and "dexo -sys" (only odexes system apps and not framework) together and that should boost your performance too!!!! Make sure that you run "dexo -h" first to make sure that you have enough space to run dexo -dat and dexo -sys before you do anything though because you do not want to run out of space on your system or data partitions!!! Also DO NOT FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP before you do ANYTHING ELSE!!!! YOU DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO REINSTALL EVERYTHING!!!!

I would not normally share something like this (especially because this ROM works flawlessly! and I'm using the linaro kernel from twa as well!) but I really do feel it helped boost my overall performance and ram usage so it would be a "sin" on my part for not sharing so that you can also boost your performance (and battery (according to most advocates of odexing), I haven't had my ROM odexed for long enough to find that out yet) .

Hope this helps out some of you!

Cheers!

Not in this build so I imagine it was either taken out or not added in just yet. Apparently it lacks the ability to change what the power button does too. (i.e. reboot or reboot to recovery)

Correct.

Since day one with a custom rom, I had this issue. That's why the kindle takes dust most of the time. ( I tried a lot of roms ! I have this tablet 2-3 month after the amazon release)

I dont have any browser crashes on very old device with less ram (ie milestone, desire)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Smokexz:
Battery is pretty bad but it seems to be stable even when using chrome and Facebook, you can definitely tell the speed bump in KitKat is significant.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] igotgame:
Definitely

Ram increase too. On 4.3 under running in App Manager there was typically around 100mb free or so... On 4.4 it's around 150-175mb free. 50-75mb is a big difference when 512mb is the total amount installed(although only 400mb or so shows up in there).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
I randomly decided to flash Hyperrunner's Simple CM9 rom and am averaging ~220mb of free ram. That's better than some of the CM7 roms here and definitely better than Jelly Bean and KitKat.

Here's a link if you're interested :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Smokexz:
Transparent navigation bar is not on stock KitKat, there will probably be ROMs that add it though. By the way I need to correct myself, battery life is great, it turns WiFi off fantastically, however it doesn't start it back on when you unlock the device so you have to kind of force it to turn on by going into the WiFi settings. Really stable build for being the first release.

You will need to check "High end gfx" in Performance settings to enable translucency because the KF is a low ram device (ro.config.low_ram) and translucency effects are disabled by default on such devices.
