Still waiting for my friend to get paid so he can get a new keyboard. He should be getting paid soon hopefully so not much more of a wait before I can have another build ready for testing.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
Okay. Keep up the good work!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Actually I might be compiling this myself soon, let's just say I'm getting a free laptop with a first gen i3, and my friend is still a bit short on cash because he's employed through his old highschool's work program. Anyways long story short this delay has been frustrating but hopefully it won't last much longer.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
Thanks for the update!

EDIT: I mean update on how things are going, not the other. Lol.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
OK expect an update any day now, I got my new laptop and I have gotten it reformatted and installed most of the basic stuff I need on the windows partition and I will install Ubuntu on it tomorrow, so I should have a build out soon for testers assuming I can apply my patches again. Love this thing, has a 2.4GHz i3 1st gen, and 8gb of ram and a 650gb HDD, so i should have a good building environment.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Just thought i'd tell anybody with a 7" kindle in the thread that is testing this i just released an update, so check your pm inbox's. I would have had this compiled about 12 hours sooner but i made a 2 digit typo in the config.sh file and was causing the repo command to get stuck in an infinite loop that python was erroring out... Took me a while to figure out the problem. Anyways pm me back and let's hope this time it gets atleast to the boot logo.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
It was a fast download, usually an OS takes at lease 30 minutes for me to download but this was a 10 minute download. Don't know if that adds anything or not. I made two attempts after a clean install and it would not go past blue Kindle Fire screen. Restored my nandroid with no issues. Keep me updated.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
I can confirm this.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
ah ok i will have to figure out how to debug this, and yea it is a small download, its supposed to be like that i checked, the builds for other devices are that small too. So i am guessing the kernel loaded at this point or at least partially loaded, sense it didn't get past 2nd bootloader that should mean the kernel was formatted correctly this time around, but i don't know if its selinux related or not, this problem sounds kinda like some of the problems i have heard lately about cm11 and i think this build does have selinux enabled. I might have to ask hashcode see if he has any ideas unless any of you guys know something i don't.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
Not sure if CM 11 has selinux enabled by default or not. That is one of the big changes in KitKat though. CM 10.2 refresh was set permissive pending some debugging. I don't think there is a kernel problem because there was no looping and no bootloader issues. I think it wanted to boot but couldn't. Can you force selinux to permissive in the build? Just a thought.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
I will have to do some research when I get back on my PC tomorrow, I don't know much about selinux so I will have to learn it seems. I think hashcode said I could disable selinux initially when I was having some selinux duplicate problems, but I think the build of aosp I used had it enabled outside of his files, so I was thinking about attempting to compile with selinux disabled if possible, but like I said I need to do some research so I can figure out what I'm doing. Thanks for the suggestions!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ph0enix_216:
Downloaded, wiped, and flashed as well. Flash was successful, but like Linear and r3pwn, it doesn't boot past the 2nd bootloader.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
yea theres something up with pvrsrvinit, trying to troubleshoot it but i kinda don't know what i'm doing. cant figure out the pid of the process to strace it and if i run strace and the program afterwards it tells me its already running...

i decided to run a dmesg and this was the result more or less

[ 21.879333] PVR_K:(Error): BridgedDispatchKM: Driver initialisation not completed yet. [4848, drivers/gpu/pvr/bridged_pvr_bridge.c]

It got me looking on google though, i noticed somethign on pandaboards that use omap processors, and i decided to run "cat /proc/pvr/version" and in the string its saying omap 4430 which is odd because this is a omap 4460 device, also noticed that the gles version is saying 1.8 and i don't know the specific file to compare it against but when i look at the proprietary version strings that look like gles files, the versions reportign 1.9 and i read they shouldnt mismatch so i'm a bit confused right now, kinda need a dev that knows a bit of what they are doing to step in, i'm asking around the rc's to see if anyone knows anything useful and hashcode is being helpful giving me hints along the way so i have that going for me.

Edit: after some chatting with hashcode I am pretty sure that the mismatch is the problem, now here lies the problem, after going through the source code, I cannot for the life of me find the PVR source in the files, only hashcode PVR source and his is the right version from what I know, so I'm a bit confused still and calling it a night, meanwhile I left a search going for a file I believe should be part of the module so it hopefully will find the second version of the module if there is one.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
Let me know when you get it all fixed up.. My HD 7" is at your service! Lol.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ph0enix_216:
Ditto!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
As it turns out, i'm guessing at this point there is a makefile issue, i mean cm device trees weren't exactly meant to work with aosp, and i'm throwing a wild guess here, but i just noticed that none of the kernel modules compiled, which apparently includes the pvr driver for the graphics card in the kindle, so idk where its getting the integrated one its loading, but its incorrect... I'm going to attempt a bit of a ghetto rig in a bit and see if it works... as far as i remember as long as a kernel module is being used with the same version kernel it was compiled for it should work right? so maybe i try to put a cm 10.2 kernel module in the /system/libs/modules folder and see what happens. Otherwise i need someone with some makefile experience to help me figure out whats wrong, either that or i can wait until the holiday is over and i see hashcode back in the irc, but i don't expect him to do all the work for me since he has enough roms on his plate i'm sure. But yea if anyone is good with makefiles and wants to help me out i would appreciate it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SafinWasi:
Smilies in the logcat???
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Well... I fixed the previous bug, now i have a new problem i'm looking into, i think i made a sucessful build of b2g, only sucessfull in the fact i think the main process was able to launch and the kernel isnt giving me pvrsrvinit errors but the problem is its still hanging at the 2nd bootloader logo... dmesg and logcat seem to say its working like it should so i have no idea whats going on.

Edit: think this has a key role in the new problem...

E/HWComposer( 1319): Failed to initialize hwc
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
Well, I got my shiny new hard drive and everything set up. Want me to see if I can make a working build?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Well I'm trying to debug the latest issue, but if you wanna go for it I can zip up my patched files and give you the custom manifest I made. I would attempt to put the source up on github but I don't feel like uploading 15 or more gb's with only a few files changed. I'll probably pm you with the stuff after I try a bit more debugging.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
anybody that's curious how the build is going i found out the reason for the latest bug after a few hours of troubleshooting, turns out for some reason surfaceflinger isn't compiling... Still looking into it. R3pwn, you get my message with the patches?

Edit: now i'm even more confused because i read that firefox os uses gecko instead of surface flinger, so i have no freaking idea whats going on...

edit2: stil have no idea what is goign on but on teh bright side someone else in a galaxy s2 port of this in its alpha stages about a year ago mentioned the same problem, so i'm sending some people messages asking them what they did to fix it and if it's going to require me knowing any c coding to fix... As it stands i'm assumign the b2g process is also teh render (b2g=boot to gecko) since gecko is the replacement of surfaceflinger, and b2g seems to be launching and running sucessfully in the background so somethign isn't directing the renderrer to be the correct renderrer i guess.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
Yeah, I got the message. I've been busy lately. I'll see how successful I am in making my own working build. :D
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Thanks, I plan on asking around in b2g's irc on the 6th and see what happens, someone in there told me the dev's are on vacation until then, also as to my inquiry on that previous bug on the s2, i was informed that that bug was fixed by Mozilla.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
OK time I posted an update (not to test but as to what's going on), I think I fixed the last issue, it was more like I was asking the wrong question, it wasn't "what's wrong with hwc that needs to be fixed" it was more like "let's disable hwc because it's not needed by this os" least I think that is bow it is based on some of the Mozilla dev's I talked to. Now for the good news, it loads the boot animation up and we get past the boot loader stuck on the screen. The bad news, right after the boot animation it briefly flashes white then goes to a black screen. I have a theory about why it's doing this but I'm waiting for another build of the ROM to finish so I can see if I'm right. Slow slow progress but I'm making some.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Jserrano56:
Looking forward to trying this!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
Ditto.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Firefox OS update!!!

I have great news, i just finished a build with a bug fix a very helpful dev from the mozilla irc, now i have a os that fully boots up, minus a few little things here and there i will attempt to fix but will likely need a dev to work on for me, but i will upload the rom to my google drive in a bit and send a pm to the testers!

Thought i would mention i think i'm missing a softkey bar in the alpa soooo i cant realy say don't open any apps, but uh you get the idea...

Also do not turn on bluetooth, there was some kinda issue initializing bluedroid and if you turn it on the device will freeze up, least thats been my experience so far.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ph0enix_216:
Downloaded and flashed it. I let it boot up (boot animation seemed like it needed rescaling?) It imported my Gmail contacts just fine, but I didn't try my Facebook contacts. It felt a little laggy, but overall, nice job :) I never got around to enabling softkeys (I saw a bunny).

You said that it wouldn't read anything on the SD card. Soooooo I'm going to assume that it won't play my music? Speaking of audio or music or whatever, does it have gapless audio playback?

My hat is off to you, good sir :)

>>>Sent from my laptop running Windroy<<<
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Thanks, as to the gapless audio I have no idea yet, I haven't been able to play any audio outside of the ringtone and such. I also noticed video playback isn't working, probably because of what I had to do to get it to boot to the GUI, but I could be mistaken. This may work better on the kindle fire HD 8.9" model, I believe it has a slightly higher model GPU than what the 7" has, and the bug I was having was some kinda compatibility problem between gecko(b2g's replacement of surfaceflinger) the sgx540 and gralloc. Least that's what I made of it, this happened on some other devices like I think the nexus, can't remember for sure. But if the 8.9" model has a newer sgx, I believe I can leave that patch disabled. Pain of it is I don't have the other devices to test it on so development goes a bit slower.

The boot image still needs rescaling but I couldn't find the original images in the source tree, and the ones included in the bootanimation.zip are kinda small so they would pixelate pretty bad if I enlarged them, was thinking of asking if they have the original images lying around somewhere on the irc.

Your wallpaper Fix for KF2, KFHD 7" is working on my device.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
^^Good to hear it!

Slight update i think i found the reason why the sdcard service is crashing in the background and restarting continously, from what i can tell the /mnt directory doesnt exist, which makes no sense because its should be created from the init.rc and its imported rc's in the boot process, but i'm not seeing it, and i don't see it mentioned anywhere as being deleted. Long story short, theres supposed to be a symlink or something there that the sdcard service uses. Trying to make sense of this, theres a few symlinks mentioned and i'm trying to figure out where everything is pointing and it's late so i'll probably work on it tomarrow, don't feel like reflashing the device again, takes too long to restore the backup and then wait for it to optimize android apps. By the way i should mention i don't expect it to get huge out of nowhere but if you leave firefox os running for an extended period of time you may notice that you disk space is being used up, i forgot to remove the strace line on the b2g process when i released that alpha so its kinda dumping everything thats going on into a logfile in /data called "boot.strace". Just a heads up.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
This is coming along real well. Played with it for a while. Google search works well. The light sensor worked great from me. I didn't notice any major lag. I didn't flash any Gapps to it. I'll play with it a bit more later on when the kids head off to bed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
OK cool, I wouldn't flash gapps, this os doesn't use dalvik virtual machine so apk's are incompatible with it. You sure the light sensor is working? I thought I saw some error in the dmesg about it, also though I saw it say disabled or something somewhere in the os. I'm still trying to pinpoint the sdcard issue, I was able to work around it to prove that it will work in general, but I had to run a lot of commands from an adb shell to do it... Kinda aggregates me. Need someone to look over my init.rc setup and see if I missed something, because the /mnt folder isn't even being created as far as I can tell. I suppose I could add some kinda weird shell script as a service that creates the mnt folder and its subdirectories and launch it as a service as a temporary patch but that's kinda rigging it... Something that checks to see if mnt exists and if does it just loops on the check, and if it doesn't exist it creates it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
100% bright to dim it functioned proper. The auto sensor I did not try though. Thanks for the info on Gapps. I wondered if they would even work or not.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Latonya1:
is there any new rom i want to test brand new 1.......
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
It's kinda in alpha status now, but it's pretty buggy, if I could just ghetto rig the sdcard bug as a temporary fix and set a few settings in the os I would probably release a public alpha. I need to learn a bit of JavaScript though because some of the syntax is confusing me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Ok, fixed the sdcard issue thanks to something in the init.rc that hashcode pointed out that was kinda funny in the sense it was "supposed to be there" (considering i added it from the porting guide on mozilla's site) but removing it fixed it. Anyways i sent everyone a new link to it, almost ready for a alpha release i think, just need to figure out some javascript, not as easy as i thought because i don't know the syntax.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Latonya1:
Give here a link.......
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
I'm not posting a link on the forum yet because when I release it I have to release my sources and I don't have my git repo setup in a manner I can do that yet, also this would be the wrong section to post a ROM. This is kinda more like initially a recruitment page and now a discussion page while I work out bugs.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
First initial flash was a fail in TWRP. But l'm going to redownload and see if something went wrong there first. See what happens in a few minutes.

Edit: Downloaded again and again it failed (right away) in TWRP. Maybe check the upload? Let me know when you get another one ready.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
ah i found the problem, i left out a quote when i manually edited the update-tools script. I'm sending out the fixed zip's link in a pm again, sorry about the error! It was just a bad unmount command i think, didn't see anything else. I guess twrp checks the entire script for errors before running it? Never new that, least if it failed immediately then thats the only reason that would make sense.

Clean flash, no glitches so far. So far so good. I'll play with it a bit and see what works.

Edit:

1. Rotation works well when using browser (none otherwise.)

2. Twitter app is fully functional. (Don't do Facebook so unable to test that.)

3. Games work well.

4. Showbiz works well.

Needs improvement.

1. Home button only works in portrait mode no matter where being used.

2. Keyboard does not indicate if you are on a capital or lower case letter although pressing "alt" does alter them making the keyboard usable but difficult when signing into accounts.

3. YouTube app does not play anything.

4. Radio don't work.

5. Geo Locator does not work.

All in all it seems like it's coming along well.

Edit 2:

1.Light adjustment works but not the auto sensor.

2. Volume works and sound (what I could test of it) is sufficient.

Edit 3:

1. Needs SD card accessibility.

2. No MTP capability.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] south956:
Rom runs smooth and fluidly in transitioning, same a Linear..... Videos don't work. For some reason my home button didnt work, had to use gesture ans swipe up. My music never loaded so i couldnt test audio at all. I havent tried any games but what's working is working well.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
OK where to start... First off thanks for the reports, you found a bug I didn't notice, the home button one in landscape. Mine was a bit glitchy but I never noticed that so I will have to try it. Also yea I noticed the keyboard, I guess it's mozillas style... I kinda like the keyboard for a very simple reason, so far from using it I haven't made the same typos I'm constantly making in cm, those being when I goto to hit letters on the bottom row I tend to hit the freaking space bar and drive myself nuts. YouTube app bug is currently kinda being worked on I think, its gotta do with a bug in gecko that Mozilla dev's are working on for sgx based GPUs. Another note, I don't think the radio will ever function, I need to disable it from compiling, unless it can somehow use the Bluetooth radio(which I don't see it doing since it asks you to connect a headset to use as an antennae), then I think you have to have specific hardware for a radio to work. Feel free to correct me about that if, I'm wrong, the only phone I have with a radio is pre-android era so I can't really run Linux commands in a terminal to get an idea how it works. I'm not sure about how to fix the geolocator, seems it,s trying to use actual GPS I think, and I believe the IP based GPS that android uses involves some kinda Google service that's probably not compatible with this os I'm assuming, I will have to look into this more.

OK that's a very disorganized paragraph but I'm not on my laptop so it's a pain to do it on here. Next I have a question, what do you mean by needs sdcard accessibility? If you mean a way to browse it, there's an app in the marketplace that lets you. Oh an another thing yea the mtp needs troubleshooting as well, it seems to be working sorta but windows has no drivers for it and I think Linux tells me that it's not readable so yea I gotta look into that as well.

I also noticed a small bug that's probably on mozillas end, sometimes the apps will open but when they do it looks like an ftp directory of the app, if it does this then click the index.HTML to launch the app, seems it's not autoloading the HTML file. Also noticed sometimes the apps don't fill the entire screen near the soft home button.

Thanks for the feedback, feel free to keep giving it. I need to brush up on some JavaScript syntax tomorrow to see about fixing a few things. I can finally get back to working on it since the last 2 days I have been kinda been distracted playing saints row IV on my dads work laptop since it was free to play this weekend on steam! I was kinda busy trying to beat the campaign in 2 days, actually was kinda difficult to do but I cleared it so back to working things that actually do something in the real world. xD
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Latonya1:
Thanks for PM. I got it...
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
I think I'm going to release this ROM in alpha stage in the coming day or so, I am trying to get my sources in order on github which ISNA total drag because of how I had set this up. Think I fixed the soft keys so they are on by default, found 2 ways to fix them, one in the build.prop, the other I can just override the default setting in a JavaScript file. I've been attempting to learn JavaScript so I haven't been working on the ROM as much as I would like to. I'm also working on cleaning up the build process for this ROM so it will be a bit more automated, figured out how to add the modules to it automatically and add the sdcard fix automatically in the make file setup. So yea I will have an alpha build released soon, just wanted to update the status of this a bit. As for the gralloc bug I found out that the dev's working on it are now back at square one... So hopefully that sgx bug gets worked out soon so this rim will run much better. I still need to put out some pure alpha builds for kindle fire HD 8.9" and kf2, so feel free to post back if you want to test those out because I don't have either of those devices, however I can probably use my mothers kf1 for testing out a build on that. I'm hoping to test out whether the sgx544 in the 8.9" model is affected by the same gralloc bug the sgx540 has to confirm it, a Mozilla dev thought it wasn't affected but wasn't sure. It will be painfully obvious if it is affected since you will hang at the 2nd bootloader... Anyways long story short its going public in the next day or so. If any dev's/programmers feel like helping me patch up the camera hal module or debugging any other errors feel free to do so.
