Hi!

I'm going to give my tate device to my mother, and I want to update the system. The actual rom I have is 4.2, but I don't really know wich rom install. I'm going to install the same I had, this one, but I don't know wich is the most stable version yet. Could someone help me?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
If it does, feel free to share it with me. I encountered probably the exact same errors as you, but AOSP kept resetting my PATH and decided to use two different versions of Java when compiling WebKit and completely messed up the build so I just ragequit and rm -rf AOSP. ATM CM resets my PATH, too. While I'm in the process of writing this, feel free to drop me a Hangout at wickett06 (at) gmail (dot) com.

OTG Support

Hello! So I've been reading this thread and it seems that OTG support has been disabled in CM11. Is there anyway around this? I wanted to use the Kindle as field monitor using DSLR Controller. I don't need to use a keyboard/mouse or external flash drive, so I don't need the Kindle to power an external source. Would love to have any sort of information/help on this. Thanks in advance!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LinearEquation:
No one disabled OTG, it was never enabled by Amazon on the Tate and Jem. Hashcode was thinking about trying to build it in a while back but it never came to be. It would be pretty difficult anyway.

Hi Guys,

I'm nearly finished debugging the KFire HD 7" CM12.0 build. It's pretty close.

For those that are interested (and daring), I've pushed all of my work up to the CyanogenMod trees and you can run test builds of your own. Use at your own risk currently.

Happy Holidays

Cm12 for Tate http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57767792. Hope this doesn't offend anyone. I feel like we are all looking for the same thing.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] galearned:
I have several Kindle fire hd 8.9 tablets and several HD7 tablets.

The mic, voice recorder, Google voice search, etc. all work perfectly using the HD7 tablets.

None of the mic apps work on any of the HD 8.9 tablets I have using any of the various ROM versions and may different Gapps versions.

If you use voice recorder or the voice search app, the audio level indicators are all flat across the dialog window.

I have used the unofficial cm11 builds for Jem and various builds for the official jem tablets and there is no mic on any of the builds on the 8.9 tablets.

The mic can't be defective on a half dozen tablets; might there be a problem with the builds for 8.9?

Regards
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I'll check it out
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] galearned:
Good evening:

I asked about the mic/audio but, didn't expect a response since most efforts are being focused on CM12 these days and, I am patiently waiting for CM12 as well.

I only realized the mic does not appear to work when a friend of mine asked me why his "Whats that song" widget did not work for him on his 8.9. I checked one of my 8.9's and sure enough - not working. I am not sure if Google Voice search feature functions by listening internally or externally to the speaker sounds using the mic?

I am not positive how the Google Voice search widget works but, certainly, if you turn the volume down to just above off on the working 7" tablets, the app does not return any results. If the app connects to audio internally (not using the mic), then there might be different reason the mic does not pick up any audio.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] MSephiroth:
Hi Guys, first of all thank you hashcode for all the hard work made on this device. I have a problem now with my Kindle.. I ve been using this rom without any problem unti yesterday when my Kindle started to switch off when battery is below 50% AND wifi is on. I thought it was a problem of battery calibration (since if device is plugged in charge, it works normally). So i calibrated battery but nothing... It shuts down. I tried also a factory reset and clean install but didn t work either. Any suggestion? Do you think could be an hardware problem? If wifi is disabled i can use it no matter battery level...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mrkhigh:
I wonder if it is simply the battery not being able to output enough amperage drain anymore causing voltage to go below acceptable limits...

This would make sense since with Wi-Fi on it has a higher drain.

The shelf life on these batteries are probably due to see some failures.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] MSephiroth:
Thank you for the answer. My device is only one year old.. I m surprised it has already this kind of problem. Probably i can send it to warranty... But first i need to put it stock again and i don t know if it is possibile...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] BuQQzz:
I have 2 kindles, both bought around the same time, yet one of them has this symptom. It began with below 50 it would power off... Then no matter the battery level it wouldn't stay on for more than a few minutes. If its connected to a charger it'll stay on and work normally. Its most likely a battery issue ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mrkhigh:
Completely possible there are a few threads in the Dev section for stock kindle via twrp or adb.

I have had several tablets now that start acting flaky when the battery level drops down to the 50% level.

I was pretty sure the battery should be OK since logically, the battery should work until it goes down really low.

A weak battery would simply not stay charged long and start to go low more quickly (e.g., 1 hour to 10% versus 3 hours to 10%).

In these cases, the battery may be at 50% but, then the tablet either reboots, or the apps start acting up and start doing strange things.

I thought it was just a poorly made motherboard but, I did have someone else tell me they had several kindles over the last few years and several of them starting acting oddly after a while and would shut down or reboot randomly and most of the time have the battery life diminish rapidly over time. I have two 7" tablets now on my desk, I have marked as flaky.... I also have a badly cracked tablet I use regularly for a couple of years now that is as solid as Fort Knox.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mrkhigh:
You have to remember the kindle turns off the device not the battery, if the curve does not act linear it is possible for it to rapidly discharge at a certain point. Lithium batteries act a little odd in charge and discharge

how long should it take to boot into CM11 once you reboot for the first time after loading it up in TWRP? It sat all last night at the screen with the blue face and arrow going around in circles. I don't think it would qualify as a boot loop, as it never restarts (as far as I can see) it just sits on the 'booting' screen forever. I put this exact version on my son's kindle fire hd 7" about 6 months ago and it worked fine. I'm now putting in on my daughters kfhd7 with all the exact files I used before and it's not booting up. I'm actually on my second time thru the process and same result.

Fixed it. I just turned the unit off, got back into TWRP and reloaded CM11 again and it started right up.

Thanks,

Anyone still using CM11 on their KFHD7's?

Just wondering how stable the M12 build is or nightly builds are?

I'm still on M11 & facing no major issues so wondering whether it's worth updating.

From what I can tell after a certain build (Maybe around M10?) no Tate specific fixes were pushed & after that any changes in builds were purely aimed towards fixing stuff in CM11 which may or may not break device related stuff.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] conalt:
I ended up going back to CM11. I had an issue with idle battery drain being very high even with no apps installed, and for me performance seemed a fraction better on CM11

*Edit* It actually looks like I went back to CM10.2 :P

M12 runs fine though, you are probably right with it just being CM cleaning up the code. But you could just dirty flash it on top. Cant hurt

Why Tamper With Amazon Fire?

I really don't see why anyone would buy a Kindle Fire and flash it with Cyanogenmod? I mean, you wanted a device to read books and consume some media as well which the Kindle Fire is very much capable of doing. So why put Cyanogenmod in it and dwell with a truck load of bugs? No offense here, but the Amazon guys have pumped so much money into making this hardware and device specific tweaked android software using best in class developers and engineers, why tamper with it? They know what they were doing and pretty good at it. I don't buy this story of pushing Cyanogenmod inside this device which performs much better with it own OS. I having Cyanogenmod running in a couple of my devices that originally carried GB OS. Cyanogenmod makes sense in such scenarios, certainly not in this case.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] xWolf13:
I actually bought my Kindle because it had Cyanogenmod. I did not dare to even touch Fire OS as it was useless and not appealing to the eye in my opinion. FireOS is based on Jellybean (correct me if I am wrong) and out of the box, did not allow me to use the Play Store. I had to use the Amazon App Store, which did have a decent amount of apps but not all of them. Cyanogenmod fixed that for me, making a $100 tablet feel like a Nexus 7. Many, like me look on XDA before I go out and buy a new device. The Kindle popped to my head because it was cheap and a perfect size. I saw it had Cyanogenmod and voila! Bought it. Cyanogenmod is also for those who want a pure android experience, AOSP in that matter. Also, with developers like Hashcode, they are able to bring the latest and greatest android software to us like Android 5.0 (Cyanogenmod 12). Amazon would've taken a buttload of time to create a new UI for it.. With the bugs, what bugs do you see? Cyanogemod 11 is pretty stable AFAIK. If you are here to complain that Amazon pumps a whole bunch of money into a device, why are they using Android as a base for FireOS then? If they have that much money, they should completely make their own OS from scratch. Android was made to be Open, therefore we see Cyanogenmod and many others that can replace FireOS.

Yeah stock CM11 with or without the overclocking kernel (mine is stable at 1.7ghz) is the smoothest/fastest combo I've found. It feels like a device that came out in 2013 or 2014. All CM12 based roms have been worse for performance and more buggy. I'd only use CM12 if you want the lollipop changes, not for its performance.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] KLit75:
Coulda swore i use the oc kernel on this before. Can you tell me exactly which one you're using? The thread is a bit confusing as far as download links. It also touches on needing to switch to f2fs and that it'll wipe EVERYTHING. I just want to flash it in recovery and at most do a full wipe (everything but internal) if that's possible.

This is the kernel for any CM11 based rom. If you want to change the data partition to F2FS it'll wipe all your data. I think you can flash this and it'll work for EXT4, and you'll be able to overclock, but I'm not entirely sure.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] KLit75:
That's the one I just tried. First I tried to flash it over cm then I did a full wipe but nothing worked. Every time I try to flash it just goes right back to twrp screen.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] lolwatpear:
This should be the file you're using Bootimg_ext4orf2fs_CM11_Overclock_20140712 - Copy.zip

I'm using it with the latest nightly. My steps are something like this:

1. Assuming not formatted to F2FS: Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Select Data and Repair or Change File System > format to F2FS and reboot back to recovery

2. Wipe > Format Data and reboot back to recovery

3. Transfer files to tablet and install the rom, then kernel, then gapps. Then wipe dalvik cache when it's finished.

Works every time for me.
