I used to use adblock plus until I found out that it tracks and reports your activity... (Per f-droid.org) so I started using ad away because its open source.

I've not had any issues with it, although some have.

P.s.

F-droid is an open source app repository where you can find many useful tools or games or just all kinds of stuff. Also you can see the permissions used by any app before you DL.

I'm not affiliated with them, just thought I'd share.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
I really don't care if they track me. I'm not paranoid (not saying you are :) ) and I'd think an add-on/ app that is that popular wouldn't risk spying on people. I do use Adaway on my Kindle but I use Adblock Plus on my pc.

OTG

sorry for the silly question is USB OTG supported by this rom í*½í¸€í*½í¸€
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
Well have been using this pretty hardcore and have had no problems I think this ROM is in a good place atm. Now if it just had a volume control on the pull down menu or able to add volume button to Nav bar it would be perfect ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TrojanDad:
I flashed this last night. Had to do it twice because the wifi did not connect first time.

First impression is that it is buttery smooth. I was running SmoothROM 1.7 and that was smooth, but this takes smoothness to a whole new level.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
Yeah with the latest build I had to be very persistent before I got Wi-Fi working but after that have had no problems.

Hey everyone!

Rebuilt everything today to get you the latest and most stable.

Can't remember everything I posted about last time but we've darkened all system apps thanks to Slim.(well except some that were already dark like the clock app for instance) We've added a speedometer to show network speeds, merge to current CM. I also update to the latest linaro 4.7.4 release which was release yesterday so the kernel should be as fast as ever!

Anyhow, to address some a few concerns/questions

[MENTION=5619912]Wikdclown[/MENTION] For someone that seems to play around with my ROMs alot I'm surprised you haven't found the volume tile. Enable the volume tile for quicksettings and/or enable it in your ribbons. Once you do that you can tap and slide to your desired volume. (Interface>Quick Settings Panel>Tiles and Layout tap Add tile (has a + on it))

[MENTION=2685607]davuong[/MENTION] yes the boot animation is fixed in this build. You can thank Hashcode for that.

Enjoy the update!

Cheers!

WOW... you the beast!!! Thank you :good::good::good::good::good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Butter smooth doesn't begin to describe this thanks! But I think Wikdclown meant was the ability to add a volume button directly to the navbar. I've seen it in a few of the early JB roms and it was mighty convenient.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
Woohoo running this as I type and so far nothing but pure awesome. And about the quick panel I do use your ROM a lot but was never mentioned it had been added ? so I didn't think to look lol, tyvm for adding it. Keep up the great work!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Cl3Kener:
Hey Everyone!

I've added the old CM opticharger script back to HellKat. (Still not been merged to CM) I also updated it to use pngquant which does better compression than optipng which was the default before. Here is more info on that http://pngquant.org/. With the charge alone I shrunk overall zip size almost 8 MB. (That was compressed btw in your RAM the apps will uncompressed which means potentially 10-15 MB of memory savings) I also debloated some stuff for this build so the total size difference is about 15 MB now. I hope that you'll find that this build is the fastest yet! If not I've at least lowered your ram usage. :) We've also merged to latest CM.

Cheers!

Cl3Kener

PS I've had a number of requests for a CM nightly with my tweaks and kernel. Thank below, comment, or message me if you would like me to do a CM nightly in the future. (Or I guess I could make a Beanstalk if you wanted more features)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:

HowTO starting from scratch?

Hey Gang,

I just acquired a 1st generation Kindle Fire with the stock 6.3.2 software on it.

The tablet is not rooted or anything. Completely bone stock. I want to run this ROM on it but I am completely lost on where to start.

I know I need to install a custom bootloader to be able to install this ROM. There seems to be more than a couple ways to do this, and THAT is where I get lost. Could some kind soul link me to a thread to get started?

I would like to be able to dual-boot, but if that will limit the overall performance i'll just stick with replacing the stock ROM and move on to bigger and better things =)

I am pretty versed in flashing ROMs (i have several other Android devices that are all modded)... so once i get a bootloader installed I can return to this thread and move forward with this ROM.

((( i have read through a few threads and just get lost on the process... i am simply begging for help with direction! )))

~Thanks =)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
Kindle Fire general section has a how to guide.

Personally I used the kindle fire utility but I had to manually download/copy the TWRP.img file to the kindle fire utility directory for it to flash the newest version because the kfu could not download the newest version for some reason and you have to have newest TWRP.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] CalvinAMi:
Wikdclown, TrojanDad, & eZdubzitmk4

Thank you all very much! The Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9 thing worked for me!

I was able to load TWRP (couldn't get dual-boot to flash), and am now running this awesome ROM!

I love the color theme, copious settings to tweak, and speed of this beast!!!

Such a fantastic job on this ROM. It feels like the tablet was released with it. =)

Again.... thank you all for your kind help =)

***ONE MORE QUESTION***

Is there a way to have the stock Kindle ROM on the "Alternate Boot" partition?

I would like to have this setup:

--Normal Boot-- = HELLCAT 4.4.2 (the rom in this thread)

--recovery--

--Alternate Boot-- STOCK Kindle 6.3.2

--Reset Boot Mode--

That way I can normally boot to this ROM, but when my wife wants her "native Kindle" environment, she can just reboot to the ALT ROM.

Is this possible?

How can i do it?

NOTE: I have already prepared the Kindle for DualBoot using Option #7 from the batch file.

I also moved the file "altrom-format-all.zip" to the root of the SDcard and flashed it via recovery.

I have made a complete backup of both the STOCK Kindle 6.3.2 software and HELLCAT and saved them to my laptop.

Any tips? Or should I just forget dual booting and roll with only this ROM.

***EDIT TO MY EDIT!!!***

I read a little more on how the Alternate Boot partition works and discovered I need a stock rom compiled to run on the alt rom slot when installed/flashed. I am currently downloading "[Rom] Stock 6.3.2 [Mods] [04.22.13] [Primary/Alt]" and will run it in the ALT ROM slot and this rom in the Primary ROM slot. Thank you all for your patients and help with a Kindle Fire noob getting his feet wet =)

***GOT IT ALL SETUP!!!***

You guys are all geniuses =)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
What games does everyone use with this ROM? I'd love to use my Kindle FIre more, but no matter what ROM I try, it always seems to run very slow, freeze or crash back to the homescreen on most intensive games. I like racing and have tried Asphalt 8, GT Racing 2 and Real Racing 3, but all three force quit back to the homescreen after a few seconds of gameplay.

Years ago my partitions got messed up on my KF and I restored them. I've always assumed they restored correctly since the KF boots and works fine, but perhaps that's why I can't run certain games. Not sure how to check the partitions, but Storage is reporting 1.09GB Internal Storage (System?) and 5.00GB Internal Storage (SD).

This ROM sure makes the KF run fast and smooth, as long as I don't really run anything.

Any tips? Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eZdubzitmk4:
Its because our kf is so old lol.. not enough ram to run intense games.

That's what I thought, but I remember seeing other posts from people playing intensive games like Asphalt 8. I've gotten Real Racing 3 to work a few times and it's a pure joy to play! Very fast and smooth. However, after about 3 races if closed back to the homescreen and I haven't been able to get it to work since, even with fresh installs and stripping out apps I don't need.

Hey Everyone,

Well I went ahead and built a Beanstalk ROM and a CyanogenMod ROM. You can find them all here http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener/OTTER

My CM ROM I added HALO))) and a whole bunch of tweaks to performance menu. If you decide to go with that one you ought to take a peek in there.

I also made smaller gapps packages that are also art compatible. There is a inverted play store version and a regular playstore version. Check them out here http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener/GAPPS

Today I update with the latest CM merges. I also updated GooManager and Xposed.

Enjoy the latest updates!

Cheers!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Cl3Kener:
Hey Everyone!

So [MENTION=2993366]ThdDude[/MENTION] and I have some good news for you all! We've streamlined the building process by creating a helldevs goo.im account. Now we have scripts to build for several devices and upload said builds automatically. We've decided to build Hellkat in addition to BlueLightning which is modded version of CM.. Check this link now for builds. http://goo.im/devs/helldevs/otter

BlueLightning still needs to be built for this device so don't be upset when it's not there today. You'll start to see links appear as we start running these scripts on a regular basis. These builds have loads of speed tweaks and are opticharged to the max to give you the smallest ram footprint possible. I also made BlueLightning for all of you that wished this ROM was blue.

Today I'm announcing the new Hellkat build which you'll only find here http://goo.im/devs/helldevs/otter/hellkat//Hellkat-20140119-otter.zip right now but hopefully I'll have a mirror up on the OP in a few hours.. I'll try to add mirrors to the OP when possible but we have a very limited upload speed on build server so your best bet will always be to look towards goo.im for updates. Plus you get notified by Goo Manager which I themed red for you. :)

Anyhow, we've fixed screen recording for this device although the device really lags while using it. If you make any cool videos showing of this ROM please feel free to post them here. If I like what I see I might feature your video on the OP. :)

CM has also add lots to the ROM so you'll see some more privacy features thanks to them.

Enjoy the new build!

Cheers!

Despite the fact that it uses a lot of ram, you get a cool dark theme, halo, a trillion customization options. All I can say is excellent work [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION] who put a lot of time into this. If you want these features and don't care about ram then this is by far the best rom.

What's the difference between beanstalk, blue lightning, hellkat version?

I see hellkat doesn't ask for cm account, but blue lightning does, does it mean hellkat use lesser RAM?

While the ROM is quite stable, sometimes there's delay when launching app.

I try not install apps that run on background and disable notifications, to increase more free RAM.

Any tips to increase KF responsiveness on this ROM?

edit: I see newer version of blulightning: http://goo.im/devs/helldevs/otter/bluelightning//BlueLightning-20140121-otter.zip

how can I upgrade to this without loosing any setting and apps installed? just flash it over the current? do I need to wipe anything?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
All three are based off of CM11. Beanstalk allows the most GUI customization, but the least amount of ram. Hellkat has a few customization options and the most advanced kernel version. BlueLightning is the most stockish out of the three with the least amount of changes from regular CM11.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Unfortunately I lost my Kindle a few days ago and wasn't able to use all three. I only tested Hellkat and the very first version released. However, Hellkat was the smoothest rom I'd ever used on the Kindle. It's also had the most ram (behind InFriction). I'm not super tech-savvy, but I believe that kernel does some super magical things with our 3 year old (almost) useless bricks. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
My recommendation is Hellkat. It does optimize well with memory usage, and offers a ton of features. Beanstalk basically gives gui customization, which if you want, you can install xposed framework and install gravity box kk.
