Disable your screen filter app if you have one. And un-check verify apps.

The only time I've ever run across this is when screen filter (nightmode) was running. Turn it off and then install should work fine. If you don't have a night mode/screen filtering app then I'm at a loss I'm afraid.

Wow, I don't know what magic sauce you put in this ROM. I just installed the 2/8 release and this is by far the smoothest CM-based ROM I've seen on this device. In addition, everything works! The only thing I've found in comparison to smoothness is MIUI 5, but that ROM has some issues that need to be worked out.

Thanks for the release and keep up the great work!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Solar Flared! The new logo is nice.

So far this ROM is working very well. Thanks.

In case you'd like to know... The only issue I've had is so far is that one time the wifi didn't properly wake up from sleep, but simply turning it off and back on again dealt with it quickly.

I was wondering if it would be possible to add usbserial support so that I could plug in my Arduino board and program/monitor it via from the KF. I'm not sure what would be involved. I'd be willing to help (it's been a long time since I've done any kernel hacking, though). I've plugged in the board and it shows up as a new USB device, but attempting to use a couple of the serial monitor programs available fail with no device detected.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
Still running great, but did run into one thing. Google won't let me install Google + (Google Plus) on this ROM. Any idea why? I can't seem to restore it from Titanium Backup either - it just hangs.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Is there an option to include the usbserial module when compiling the kernel? It's possible it may just work. I noticed there's a folder for it (/sys/module/usbserial), but no actual module (at least that's what modprobe says).

As for the wifi issue, it has only happened once, so it may just have been random.

Again, thanks for your work,

noob question

Hello I installed TWRP with Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9 on my first generation Kindle Fire.. That worked fine. Then I installed this Rom.. InFriction-SpdEdition-20140208 ... That Worked fine. It runs fast and I'm enjoying it sofar, however now I was just playing around so I know how to revert back or update or change anything, but after the update my computer won't see the Kindle, and I can't figure out how to reboot to the TWRP recovery mode, unless this was wiped after installing the custom rom? And if so, how do i reload or get back to it? Before the Utility program got me into Recovery mode but since its no longer seeing my device after installing this rom, how do I get here? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
To get into Recovery mode (TWRP), press the Power button (on the bottom) until you see the menu options. Select "Reboot" and then "Recovery." It won't take you directly into Recovery mode, this is a bug common to all CM 11 builds, but when you see the Kindle Fire logo come up, you'll notice that it says in small letters to push the Power button to change mode. Keep on pushing until it selects Recovery. That should work.

When you plug your Kindle into your computer, does it show an Unknown device?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lunie2ns:
It did initially and then I forced it to use Kindle drivers but that didnt make anything work and I tried the three options of drivers the Kindle Utility came with...

As far as the rest... when I push the Power button on the bottom, the menu gives me 4 options... power off, reboot, airplane mode, and silent mode...

When U click reboot, it says

Reboot tablet

---------------------

Your tablet will reboot.

Cancel | OK

I hit ok, it says rebooting tablet..then I see Kindle fire screen it blinks for second still showing kindle fire...then the splash screen for loading InFriction Rom...

Nowhere do I see anything in regards to recovery.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lunie2ns:
Here I uploaded a video so you can see what I see on my computer (briefly) then I did what you said, clicking the button and it shows the menu I get. I click reboot and thats all it does, then I loaded the TWRP App from the Google App store, so after reboot I try using the TWRP app and click reboot there, then recovery.. It does the same thing. Is it possible that after I loaded this rom it cleared TWRP recovery? Is there a way to reload it from my Kindle with KitKat or can I get the kindle utility program to see my kindle again somehow? Am I using the wrong driver for Windows ? (8 64bit) Thanks...

I cant post youtube links unfortunately... so if you type in youtube,...go here after the slash "/LKjjSBYh-jo" without quotes obviously.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lunie2ns:
Might have found a fix or work around... Haven't tried to do anything with it but I successfully got into TWRP on reboot by typing the following into the Terminal Emulator..

su

idme bootmode 5001

reboot

then it rebooted to the TWRP that I had before. Should there be a better or easier way for this or does this sound right? Thanks again for any input.

That aside only thing I still can't figure out sofar is how to get my Windows to see my Kindle after updating to KitKat.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Reboot Recovery does not work in CM11. You have to manually do it in FFF
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Which is what I was trying to guide him to do. I don't understand why he is not seeing the option.

Could he TWRP but not FFF? I seem to recall that Hashcode had a flashable FFF zip. I am busy tonight, but it might help if someone could steer him to that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Well, he has the fff I guess. He thought holding the power button when the device was on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lunie2ns:
No I followed theses instructions from the front page ... this was my first time, it said TWRP was required and not FFF so I didn't install it, as far as I know... Unless it's included in the rom somehow?

How to install:

1)Make sure you have TWRP 2.6.3.1

2)Make a Backup

3)Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Cache, Dalvik Cache, Data, System

4)Install ROM (Google Play is included)

6)Reboot

^^^I followed those directions..just noticed step 5 is missing, assume it's a typo?

Thanks again, though.

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Ok.. So I Googled Hashcode flashable FFF and was successful at installing FFF from what I can see, the boot screen shows kindle fire in a bluish instead of the old orangeish and I have an option for a boot menu now to go normal, recovery, and whatever the third option was, I forget. So thanks, that seemed to work, I tried clicking with the bottom button as well to switch to recovery and that did bring me to recovery, so that all looks well. The only thing still is my PC won't connect correctly, but I don't think that will be a big hindrance as I can get any update ROMs or anything in the future directly downloaded through the tablet I think and I can flash it with TWRP, I just initially was unsure how to get back to the TWRP recovery menu without being hooked to the PC, which now appears to be resolved. If there are any suggestions how to get Windows 8 64 bit to communicate with it, it'd still be appreciated as well. But I am stoked I can play around with KitKat, and it runs better than it ever ran, from what I can remember. So thanks for the suggestion for that flashable FFF and thanks alot for the work on the ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Okay, glad that I could help and get you to the point where you can get into Recovery without using ADB. (And thank you for clicking the "Thanks" button.) And also good that you are using Google to search. Let's see if we can't get the Windows 8 issue sorted.

Still loving this ROM but was wondering if there is a way to install the Diablo Kernel. I'd like to play around with the different kernels options to see if I can get improved screen-on battery life (videos in Plex and YouTube, mainly).

I don't see a stand-alone installer for the Diablo kernel. Is it as simple as flashing the Diablo boot.img?

Hey Guys!!!

I divided my ROM into two different portions:

1)InFriction Feature:

This thing has Halo(unfortunately Halo settings does not show up), built on SGT7 framework,(Dual Pane prefs etc.) and has transparent status bar. This gives about a little more free RAM than other builds, (174 mb with no apps installed, 125 mb with about 16~17 apps, No greenify/task killers.

THIS HAS DIABLO KERNEL THANKS TO CL3KENER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2)InFriction Speed:

This thing is based only on speed: Stock CM Features. Free RAM = >220mb :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::D:D:D:D

Cheers 'n' enjoy!!!!

Uploading soon....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Feature Edition DONE!!! Speed Edition UPLOADING 29%!!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
both uploads done enjoy
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
For more RAM is feature edition, go to performance, Memory, and tick both the options.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
Downloading both now. Thanks!

Interesting that the "Feature" build is 10MB smaller than the "Speed" build. I'm looking for pure speed, although I would like to play with the Diablo kernel to try to get the most battery while watching movies in Plex or listening to music. Would it work to pull the boot.img from the "Feature" zip and put it into "Speed" zip or would that not boot? EDIT: Doesn't boot.

So I just wiped everything, including internal SD. Installed the Speed version and when I check System / Apps / Running it shows I only 188MB free (214MB used). Most RAM used by Trebuchet (31MB). Only change I made was ticking both options in System / Performance / Memory. How do I get that up to 220MB like yours? Uninstall system apps that I don't use?

Has anyone been successful at installing the Google experience launcher on the KF? It's been a while since I've done anything with my fire I also have n7 but since kk is available I figured I'll flash something and this seems like a good ROM from what I've read. Plus with kk requiring less ram I figured the KF should be as efficient as ever. Thanks

This certainly is a big improvement over 4.2 which is what I had on my kf before now. Very much more suited to the CPU and ram of the kf making it much more user friendly. I'm using the feature version. Thanks for this ROM. Is there a zip anywhere to make cm11 look like nexus so that more will be available to the fire?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
That's the same thing in speed. Gapps adds a keyboard module which is not there in the ROM. Fixing in next build
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Trying out the speed version...

The first time that the kf goes to sleep after installation is a sleep of death. This repeatable.

Art no longer works, or waiting 15 minutes for it to boot with no additional apps installed is not long enough.

Selecting settings from the Trebuchet settings screen caused the status bar and nav bar to disappear. I haven't tried this again. Rebooting returned everything to normal.

I hope this is somehow useful.

Thanks for a nice ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
This is totally strange. Mine booted up within 2 min after installation and no sleep of death. Art is still a problem.

Anyone else?

I'm not sure of this ROM using custom kernel or some modification on stock one but cm11 kernel, I believe that issue lies in kernel, has been suffering from SoD disease.

It's hard to reproduce that sometimes would be fine for few days, but had twice in hours and so on...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
The speed one uses stock cm11 kernel.. That explains it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] joenun:
yea i also had sleep of death and reverted back to Feature version.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Removed the link for speed edition
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Ratings for feature! Please comment guys!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Trying out the feature version...

The speed seems to be quite good. I haven't found the need to over clock yet.

I look forward to seeing the battery performance. (It was horrible in the speed version).

Smart Launcher was mentioned as a light weight alternative to Trebuchet. Why, then, when looking at the cached processes does it almost always show a larger amount of RAM being used? Is that not a good comparison?

Is it known why keyboards sometimes dramatically increase their memory usage (4x to 5x)? I've noticed this with Hacker's Keyboard and AOSP Keyboard (though not as much). I've also only noticed this behavior with recent KitKat ROMs. Any suggestions for low resource keyboards that don't exhibit this behavior and have arrow keys (the lack of which is a critical flaw of the AOSP Keyboard)?

Again, thanks for supporting the KF and making a great ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Well try killing smart launcher and see the memory used increases
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Is there any way to enable the navbar in landscape without using gravity box as doing so just decreases available memory?

Just an FYI, I'm running the speed version and have zero issues.

I was having issues with the feature version - wifi wouldn't connect upon waking device and wouldn't reboot to recovery from the power menu. I don't have either of those issues in the speed version, so I'm guessing it's kernel related.

Installed Running Nicely... With a few issues

I'm new to this thread and first want to thank you for this ROM. I successfully updated from 4.3 w/COTR Recovery to your 4.4.2 ROM after properly upgrading to the latest TWRP Recovery, using your Flashify instructions. The ROM seems to be running nicely, but I am not seeing a tremendous amount of Free RAM space, as I've seen mentioned throughout this thread. However, that may be due to a lot of installing and running of Apps. So, we'll see how that shakes out. However, I do have several obvious issues I'm experiencing. I've seen a few of them mentioned in this thread, but I haven't seen or found any resolution. Here's my summary list of issues...

1. The NavBar (Home/Recents/Back) is not visible when placing the KF in Landscape mode. I did see one mention of this, but no clear resolution. I saw something called "Gravity Box" mentioned, but I don't have any experience with this app. Any assistance would be appreciated, as this is a bit of a deal breaker. While I can initiate workarounds with apps like "My Home Button" and/or "Floating Toucher", I'd rather have access to the native NavBar.

2. When in Portrait mode, the NavBar is obstructing the bottom row of my keyboard (SwiftKey). This seems specific to SwiftKey , which I'd prefer to use. My current workaround is to place SwiftKey in the "Undocked" mode, but I'd obviously rather have it working properly while "Docked".

3. Both the Amazon Kindle app and Netflix continually force close. I originally installed from Titanium Backup. However, after clearing cache and data did not work, I completely uninstalled and re-installed a fresh download from the Play Store. Still no love from either of these apps. Any resolution?

4. No Contacts/People: Even though I have my Google Account properly active and syncing (along with GMail, Calendar, Hangouts, Drive, Music, Etc), I can not access or see any of my Google Contacts. Since this is now listed as "People", I thought I may need to install Google+ to access my contacts. However, that leads to the next issue, which is Google+ will not even display for me as an option to download and/or install from the Play Store.

Those are the key issues I would greatly appreciate assistance with, if at all possible. Meanwhile, I will continue running and testing this ROM and provide the group feedback on what I'm experiencing, both positive and negative.

Thanks again for all your work!

OK found something... Can anyone see if this is true for them too? I'm checking "do not auto update apps" from market but every time I restart the kindle it goes back to auto update...problem is the updated version of the kindle reader app constantly force closes so I'm having to delete it and side load the older apk...I have a few books that I need to finish reading! Thanks, the rest of the rom is great
[Kindle Fire Android Development] drk65:
I confirmed that my Auto-Update OFF setting is sticking in the Play Store app. However, I believe I can offer you a fix for the being able to utilize the latest/updated Kindle App. I was having the same problem with the Kindle app FC-ing. I did some searching and found this info and file to flash that will simply make your Kindle Fire look like a Nexus 7. Before flashing the file, I also went with another recommendation I found to de-register my original Kindle Fire from my Amazon Account. Clear Data and Cache for the installed app on the Fire. Then boot to Recovery, clear cache and install this file. After rebooting, I went back to the Play store, downloaded and installed the latest Kindle app and all worked perfectly after I logged in to my Amazon account. I'm told this will address the same issue people have been experiencing with the actual Amazon Appstore app, but I don't know because I don't use it. I wish it would work for the FC issues I'm still experiencing with Netflix, but no luck (does anyone have it working and/or a fix to offer?).

This is an issue I have been looking into.

I too use swiftkey. This is strange:confused::confused:

That's a general problem in all ROMS. Amazon did that intentionaly. See answer two posts above me.

This is because there are many syncing apk's in gapps, this ROM does not have it. I said only play store is installed.

Please do so and thank you!:laugh::laugh::laugh::good::good::good:
