I got a little ambitious and adventurous, activating the (included) Xposed Installer and installing the Gravity Box module. All went well and after selecting the correct options within Gravity Box, I am now able to see and use the NavBar in both Portrait and Landscape (which was not working previously). Gravity Box offers some very nice customization and while it does use a bit of memory, it solves the main NavBar issue and also uses less resources than the other workarounds I tried (MyHomeButton & Floating Toucher).

The Gravity Box fix for the NavBar (mentioned above) also resolved the SwiftKey issue of the bottom row of keys being obstructed by the NavBar. SwiftKey now displays properly in both Portrait and Landscape modes.

I solved the Kindle app FC issue by flashing the "Nexus 7 Spoof" mentioned to another user earlier in this thread. However, I still have no fix for Netflix, which is a problem. There are also a few other apps that won't install at all and/or FC (i.e.: Yelp, AutoMateIt). However, Netflix is the real issue I'd like to resolve (BTW: YouTube & SlingPlayer video apps work perfectly). Any chance that "Fix Permissions" and/or resetting Play store data may assist in addressing these issues?

I fully understand your ROM does not come with full GAPPS. However, I assumed that if I installed individual apps like GMail, Hangouts, etc that I would gain access to my Google Contacts. BTW... Google+ will not even show up in a Play store search from this KF. Any recommendation how I can get my Google contacts loaded? Can/Should I install and actual Kit-Kat GAPPPS package? If so, can you point me to an appropriate option? Thanks.

Overall, everything else continues to work well. This ROM is definitely smoother than the stock rooted 4.3 ROM I was using. So far, battery life is looking pretty solid. Only seeing about 100MB of Free RAM. Was hoping for more, but still OK. I've had a lot of success with the combo of WakeLock Detector and Greenify on my other rooted device (Sprint Galaxy S2), which freed up a lot of RAM and greatly extended battery life. Time to give them a try on the Fire.

Finally, I can confirm the WiFi issue other have reported. My WiFi connection (WPA2) remains consistent and stable, as long as I have it on and connected "Always". When I attempted to allow it to sleep, the only way to regain the connection was to manually turn off WiFi and then turn it back on, which then allows the network to be rediscovered and connected. Not a huge problem, but definitely a confirmed issue.

Thanks again for your work... Hope my info and feedback helps!

I'll be providing an update soon. I built these two updates hastily, probably thats why. And I'll be removing Halo and adding omniROM multiwindow(Probably)

This is from the build on Feb 27th. I've never seen a device sleep so well. If you look at the discharge graph you will see that there is never a spike from being charged. This is simply amazing. The tablet was never turned off either. KitKat definitely is very efficient on this older tablet and made it fun again. Nice work on this rom . thank you.

Netflix Workaround Found!

Earlier in this thread, I identified a method to get the Kindle and Amazon Appstore apps running successfully under this ROM... by flashing the "Nexus 7 ID Spoof". However, while that fixed the Kindle and Amazon Appstore apps, it still left me with Netflix continually Force Closing on my InFriction Fire. After doing some research and a little trial and error, I identified and have now confirmed that if you side-load and install an earlier version of the Netflix APK, it will work on our InFriction Fire. The specific version I settled on was 1.8.1. I can't confirm whether any earlier or later versions will work similarly or better. However, after installing 1.8.1, I was able to successfully log into Netflix and access my account. The only "glitch" I've identified is having to pause my chosen program right after it's loaded and allow it to buffer for about a minute. If you don't, it seems to freeze and stall out after about 20 seconds of play. However, after allowing a minute or so of paused buffer time, I'm happy to report that the audio and video of my chosen program ran flawlessly and was crystal clear.

Below is a link to the APK I mentioned. Hopefully, it will work for those of you still experiencing Netflix issues. Please note, I have no way of knowing if you need BOTH this APK and the "Nexus 7 ID Spoof" I mentioned earlier, as I already had the "Spoof" installed. If you only install the APK and have no luck, I recommend you consider also flashing the "Spoof". You'll need to do that if you want the Kindle app to work, anyway.

Hope everyone finds this information to be helpful!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] drk65:
You're welcome. I'd be curious to know if this fix worked for you, as well. Good Luck!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dukehazard77:
Just tried it. Have Nexus 7 fix installed and paused video for a minute and more after it loaded but video just freezes after. Suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] muiriddin:
I love the idea of a very carefully trimmed configuration. I tried it and had some problems. I seem to have sorted some of my issues out, however I went back to Hashcodes CM11 in the process (to eliminate the new rom as a possible source of problems). I should know better than to update recovery, switch to otterX and roms all at the same time! (yes Crack Flashing at its worst!). I've taken some of your ideas and using titanium have trimmed some of the fat from the default CM11 install. Thanks for the inspiration! I'll try this again once I stop changing things quite this fast.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] drk65:
Sorry to hear you're having freezing issues. The only thing I can suggest is allowing more time for the buffer... maybe up to 3 minutes... and see if that helps. Mine running on 1.8.1 has been fine after buffering for a minute or so, so I can't suggest any other troubleshooting methods. Good Luck!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Androvista, one of the things that I am really looking forward to in OtterX ROMS is:

Support for OtterX partition layout (eliminates separate "media" partition and uses full 6gb+ for userdata & emulated storage) -- ALSO REQUIRES NEW RECOVERY AND OtterX ROM build

I have migrated to OtterX as bootloader. I am keeping an eye out for an updated recovery and some new ROMs. It would be killer if you incorporated this.

Good luck on the exams, युवा brotehr!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Nice Idea but I build over the CM Nightly and add my performance tweaks/features. So I cant do anything :( till Hashcode starts giving OtterX Nightlies, But that will be here soon ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Right, understood. Not really expecting you to do more than to keep up with what Hashcode is enabling. Also requires a new recovery. Presumably Hashcode is working with Dees_Troy on that.

Good luck on your exams.

FINALLY !!

I've been saying forever that we need a rom that takes out all the junk no one uses (or would use in a tablet). Of course, I would try removing system apps in other roms, but that usually would force the ram usage to go up (surprisingly), because I figured there was some line of code or kernel setting still looking for X, Y, Z.

This one does the job and does it nicely.

Kit Kat (4.4.x) is better than 4.3 to begin with. I find that it used less resources. So for you to use the current Kit Kat to do this, makes it even more better.

Please keep this up. I would love to see this continued.

THANK YOU !!!!

I noticed that the boot animation is super laggy. It only goes through about four or five frames before it boots up completely. I tried reinstalling and wiping dalvik/cache and it was still the same. Anyone else run into this? Solutions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
The bootanimation is too heavy for the device. Easily 200+ images.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Should I just go in and delete every other picture? Would that work?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Your wish ;) try it out

Just started using Kit Kat after being on JB for a while, and this rom is working GREAT. Quick question though, is there a way to take a screenshot?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
To enable it, go in Settings, go to Buttons under Device, and enable screenshot. Then to take a shot, hold the power button and select it. Alternatively, go to Settings, Interface, Quick Launch shortcuts, and select Take Screenshot. Hold the home button to use :)

2 apps I'm sure you can remove from speed

1) Camera -- There is none in Kindle Fire 1st Generation

2) Search -- While it's cool to do from the desktop, it really doesn't save you time since all it does is load the browser anyways into google.com (which is where you start off anyways), then imputes the search term you typed out. Removing this will save memory since it's not always loaded.

There is 3rd app I think you can safely remove.... Print Spool. I don't know anyone printing off of a kindle.

Also the boot animation is over done. Keep it light, keep it simple.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] notdeadyet01:
Thanks alot for the help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
Recently switched to this rom and gotta say runs real nice, only problem I see is the boot animation sequence is to much. Thank you for a great ROM.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] wire55:
Thank you! Let me know when of is built and uploaded so I can test it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
happened to me too after I install some apps.. dont know what caused it.. apps are:

tapatalk, imdb, greenify, wpcentral, crackberry, wayang, mybolt, citibank mobile, bbm, es file explorer, mx video player, amazon, kindle, adobe reader, firefox, bubbleupnp, detikcom, evernote, facebook, gmail, onedrive, screen filter, seriesguide, wikipedia, youtube.

no disabled app, no tweak
[Kindle Fire Android Development] buckeyestilidie:
Mine happened as soon as I flashed it and it went to the home screen then constantly it keeps popping up saying that. Would love to have a fix for it lol

FC and no root access

yea I also get force closes seemingly every time I boot up, but rebooting a second time usually fixes the problem. But my more significant problem is there is no root access by default. I would think there would be since there is a section for superuser in the settings, but so far Titanium backup and the Xposed installer both cant find root privileges. I read through most of the other pages in this thread and haven found the same problem, so dont let my post speak for this ROM, which by the way is THE FASTEST and MOST STABLE ROM I have come accross.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I'm sorry that everyone is having such problems and also for not providing an update. As dfor root access, this ROM does have it. Go to dev options-> Allow root access to apps and adb. Update will be there tommorow
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ClassySandwiches7:
No worries, I think the FCs are a CyanogenMod problem. They have happened with every other cm ROM I've tried. The root access has seemed to have worked itself out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hutson23:
This is the list of system apps that

I have left using the Speed Version.

I dual-boot so I wanted a

very stripped down CM11

for more space...

Some people may still use some of the the apk's I deleted but I dont..

For example the Calendar. .I use

The one on my phone, I don't need two...Use your own judgment. .

I spent a lot of time on Google

Looking these up..I did this over

A month ago and have not seen any

reboots or FC's..

Best way I found was to disable and make a backup of all the Apk's

I wanted to remove..

Make a full system backup

BEFORE you start deleting Apk's

After a few days of no problems

Then just delete them.

System apps.

There will be two builds now: otter and otterx thanks to [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] casuallysmashedtopieces:
Install went smooth, took less than 10 minutes. Everything went fine except on the first reboot, when I pressed the power button to turn off the display and then turned it back on, it got stuck in a loop saying systemui had malfunctioned and needed to shut down. I just rebooted and it seems fine now. Nice job on the ROM.

EDIT: Swype doesn't seem to be working. The line image shows up like it does normally, but the text doesn't enter into the box. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Mendocath:
Seeing the black screen issue as well. I am forced to power down the unit then back up.

Also had issues with connecting to a secure wifi the first few times.

After some googleing I found a work around and this might be a known issue.

Try the one I want and let it fail.

Try a different secure wifi.

Then go back and try the one I wanted again.

Connected.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I'm yet to test it. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
After using this ROM awhile I gotta say it runs very good but I have noticed some problems.

1.Shortcuts put on home screen will randomly vanish this also happens on the quick launch bar.

2. I installed SuperSU and now every so often the ROM acts as if it had lost SU and upon opening SuperSU it says there is no super binary installed. Has happened multiple times a uninstall and reinstall fixed it before but now it wont.

3. The boot animation will just keep starting over and over sometimes takes 2-3 minutes for tablet to boot.

With these problems fixed I think this would be best rom available. Thank you for your time and work on this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slappydj1:
Where is the otterx version? I can't find it anywhere.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
He hasn't release it yet. AFAIK only 2 ROM available for now for otterX. Sgt and cm.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ithink2020:
I wanted to update to this. I've noticed this as well.

1. I've also noticed icons duplicating, but not a big deal.

2. I do not have SuperSU installed

3. My boot animation runs slow and reboots at least once, so it does take a few minutes to boot up.

4. Most urgently: I've been loosing the menu bar and the button bar upon boot up. So I do not see the on screen home button, back button and the other button. Most of the time, rebooting has fixed. But today, I've rebooted 3 times and it is still missing. I'm going to try wiping the Cache & Dalvik Cache to see if that help this issue. UPDATE: After wiping the Cache & Dalvik Cache, I can see the bar on the lock screen. But after enter my PIN, I see the home screen for a second (missing the top bar and button bar), then it kicks me back to the lock screen

Any ideas on #4? I was loving this ROM until this started happening.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
Just to clarify I am using the "speed" version. I REALLY like this ROM so hopefully these minor problems get fixed ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Which launcher are you all using with this rom, stock?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
Yes I am using stock. But now that you mention it i guess i could try trebuchet.

Update

Does it on trebuchet as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eurenda@gmail.com:
This happened to me on the KF once I added imdb

Same for me in terms of unable
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ClassySandwiches7:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] casuallysmashedtopieces:
Does Swype work for anyone else? Because I still haven't gotten it to work. I did a regular install with TWRP/FFF and everything else works fine. The white tracer line shows up when I Swype but the text doesn't enter into the field. I didn't touch any settings.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I already have mentioned that swype will not work as the keyboard doesn't have that module. Gapps has this.
