Anyone on the fence about loading this should get off the fence and do it. Easy to load, awesome results. Booting is much faster, WiFi downloads are quicker and browser behavior (stock and Chrome) is much nicer to name a few things I already see. Thanks much twa_priv!!!

indicators

A couple of minor things I noticed on the 2013-12-08 release:

The wifi icon in the status bar doesn't show the transmit and receive indicators.

The back button image on the nav bar doesn't change to the hide keyboard button image when using the kindle in landscape orientation and using the keyboard.

Thank you for making such a great ROM.

Are you on twrp 2.6.3.1?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] swaarley:
For the first, this was disabled in kitkat for battery concerns. I found that option in gravity box (module for xposed framework).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Do I need twrp 2.6.3.1 or can I have 2.6.3.0? All the ways I try to install 2.6.3.1 results in it not able to mount data.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
Yes you need the latest one.

i did some research and apparently Google (in their wisdom) took out the Tablet UI altogether. So until someone can work it into their build we have to wait.

TWRP flashable
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dwarf_t0ssn:
Yeah, might be better to wait if you want tablet UI. Datasync doesn't seem to be working correctly with this rom (cannot restore data, and Datasync changed versions; it uses some new data scheme apparently, so old stuff may be incompatible...uggh).

The rom itself is solid though, and most will like it just fine as it is. Just make sure to grab the latest .1 TWRP *otter* package and install that before you try to flash a 4.4 kitkat rom (I didn't know this beforehand and ended up wiping a bunch of stuff I didn't need to because it was boot-looping from using the wrong TWRP).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
Yeah this is going to take a bit to get back from what I have found.

This is partly why you have to use the newest version of TWRP.

Yes, besides the lack of Tablet UI and some quirks with the way the WiFi turns on/off. The lack of Tablet UI was a Google decision for 4.4 and not the developers of these roms lack of adding it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dwarf_t0ssn:
No, I was saying that Datasync, the app, uses some different scheme of saving and restoring app data backups, so that my old data backups are incompatible.

I explained what is happening in too much detail here, if you care enough to look (don't blame ya if not): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48324088&postcount=76
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
Ahh.. I figured you were talking about KitKat because it does change the structure of the rom in many ways which is why the newest version of TWRP is required. As to your question.. Unfortunately I have never used DataSync so I couldn't begin to tell you the problem, but just from your post I think you realized the problem. Was there ever a resolution to the problem?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Have you been in touch with the developer of Datasync? His contact info is available on the Play page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quintstoffers.DataSync.beta&hl=en
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dwarf_t0ssn:
Funny thing about the latest TWRP needed to flash kitkat roms. I made a backup of only data with the older version of TWRP, and this newer version can't even mount "data", so there's no restoring the data-only backup. Got around that by using nandroid manager app to decompress and restore, but it was a bit more fiddly than I would have liked. Also found out that TWRP backups with the .win extension are basically tar.gz archives, and can be opened with winrar. Cool.

No, not yet. I just wrote that post last night, so here's hoping. It really is a fantastic app.

No I haven't. I'm just going to wait for a reply in the Datasync app thread, but I will be sure to bug him at his email if it takes too long, heh. Thanks.

Great ROM so far

Running really smooth and fast. No browser crashes! Having some issues with Flash Player, especially with YouTube on a browser.

Any help with which version of Flash Player to use would be appreciated.

Great job! Keep up the good work.

In case it matters for debugging or whatever...

The game "Doctor Who: Legacy" doesn't work. It displays a logo, fades to black, and nothing. It worked fine with the Skanky Unofficial CM11 ROM, so it's not a device issue. I've tried clearing its cache/data, but no luck.

Thanks again for the great ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rayystar:
Okay i checked my twrp and I'm still on 2.2 maybe that's the reason why I continue to get reboots after flashing. Does anyone know where I can download 2.6 goo manager keeps giving me 403 forbidden and the app doesn't download the file. Thanks in advance

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
TWRP 2.6.3.1 is the one you need.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dskrilz:
You could install the old ROM, restore from Datasync, backup w/ Titanium, reinstall KitKat, and restore from Titanium. It works fine.

Pretty cool workaround, but still can't reverse the buttons, and I couldn't find a module that'd do that (what can I say, TWA has me spoiled). Without reversed buttons, the buttons will be far to the left, making it awkward to use them with right hand only. #firstworldproblems

Anyhow, I couldn't get this to work, and suspect it may be the launcher I'm using (Nova Prime). Posted in your thread.

This does not work with this particular rom. I tried it using ADW as my launcher. It didn't change anything or seem to work even after rebooting and allof the "instructions."

Pretty much people are going to have to wait for the developers to get the tablet ui for 4.4

Went from cm10.2 to the cm11 20131215 build today. Did a system wipe first. Seems to be fine except for Amazon App store is not working. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
I will test it out (If I can) but from what I have read and seen it's not quite there yet.

I don't think Amazon has gotten their apps to work properly on Kit Kat. I can use the app store just fine but I can't open the kindle app. So I think it's hit and miss as to what's causing it. Undoubtedly Amazon will make an update to address the issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DonDeLome:
Quick Settings Panel Tiles ???

I think you meant the 20131212 build. I'm having the same problem. Quick Settings Panel tiles cannot be modified or added to.

I'm running the 20131215 build . I know it worked in the first CM-11.0 build because I modified the tiles at that time.

The Don

First Kindle Fire
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mcqueena9845:
I can modify the quick settings tiles on the latest build. Which launcher are you using? I'm just using Launcher.

About the Amazon apps, Amazon Shopping is working fine, but the Appstore and Kindle are not working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trialz Nexus One:
I can confirm that it seems to be the Amazon Kindle app update that is broken. I uninstalled the latest Amazon Kindle app update and installed backed up apk of previous version and all is well. Had to turn off auto update in google play to stop it from auto updating. Suspect Amazon will be releasing another update to today's very soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
Your mileage may vary but I managed to get the kindle reading app to work.

1st: Deregistered Kindle Fire and Uninstalled app on device.

2nd: Ran the zip that makes it look like a Nexus and re-downloaded app

3rd: Worked fine after that. Not sure why.

So the app store works, the reader works as well but it's a bit tricky to get it to run right out of the box. Also I have not had any success attempting ART on this version. So far (like always) this is a solid rom and smooth as butter. A few things are missing but those things will come in time.

so far!!

PROBLEM SOLVED - the problem was with me! I was not in the correct Settings area for the Quick Settings panel options.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mcqueena9845:
Flashing the Nexus 7 zip made both the Appstore and Kindle app work for me. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
Excellent so really for future reference one simply needs to flash the Nexus 7 zip and the Amazon apps work again.

I found how to get ART enabled but a nice warning comes up saying CM11 does not support ART yet and may never. So that's a matter of time I guess before we get ART running correctly.

All I really lack is the Tablet UI but since Google decided it wasn't necessary any longer and "unified" the status ui for all devices, I may never get the Tablet UI back. Not a big loss, but I am personally not a fan of the slide down phone ui.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
From the Source Android ART page:

ART is a new Android runtime being introduced experimentally in the 4.4 release. This is a preview of work in progress in KitKat that can be turned on in Settings > developer options. This is available for the purpose of obtaining early developer and partner feedback.

See http://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/art.html
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
Maybe I should have clarified as you did but we said the same thing just differently. Right now CM is not supporting ART.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
No, we are saying two very different things. ART is in development (different than not supported) and if you are comfortable with testing, you can give it a try. I have enabled ART on both my Kindle and my phone. I am running the proper versions of GAPPs on both. No problems on either device.

No I did not... I have never had to do that with all of twa_priv's Roms for the Kindle... This one was working great with no problems. But then after yesterday when my Kindle was found off (with 50% battery still) I held the power button for a long time then it came back on and then certain apps wouldn't open... They start to open and then popup saying "Sorry App has closed"....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Laquox:
Since 4.4 is very much an "in development" rom there are bound to be some issues. Give the Nexus 7 flash a shot and then clear cache. It seems to fix some apps not wanting to play nice with Kit Kat. As always your mileage may vary but give it a shot and see if it solves the problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
Yes, I think we all are as this has been reported before. Its not a big deal for me as the ROMs features and smoothness is far more acceptable than this one minor irritation

I used to use the back arrow to get to the previous screen or exit an app, but now it does not work in a lot of my apps. I can't even exit some games unless I hit the home button. The button 'lights up' when I use it, just has no effect in a lot of apps. Maybe this is normal for 4.3? I just upgraded from 4.22

I'm having that exact problem on 10.1 SGT7. For some reason the device will intermittently forget the exact location of the back button. I usually have to touch the upper or lower most portion of where the soft key is before it will register the touch. It has been exclusive to the back button but just recently I've noticed my number's toggle on the keyboard is affected intermittently as well.
