Responded to you, Steve. But I thought that I would share with the community. Steve, who is a wizard, is trying to establish the best User Interface (UI) for Sion. He put together a very clean, elegant version. Not cluttered at all. And I told him that I liked the earlier version better for use.

One of my concerns was that if we removed the definition of what a Flashable Zip was (ROM or GAPPs) a new user would try to flash some other zip and we would end up clogging this forum with people who misread or didn't read at all. I try to bear in mind that we were all n00bs once and that providing a little extra information is a good thing. (Although the clean beta sure is pretty...)

What do you all think?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KCJunkman:
I think the less confusing the better

KCJunkman
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i think i got a happy medium. let me know koop:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
koop your mentioned in the logcat :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Count me in!

Also, I havent switched to OtterX yet. My computer is Out of Order, so cant ADB push. In OtterX Bootloader v2.03, I had a stupid error where nothing would show up when pressing the power menu. Was that fixed in v2.04? And thanks [MENTION=3816775]koop1955[/MENTION]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ace42:
FYI OtterX is currently at 2.05, I suggest using that one instead of 04. Having seen any bugs with this ver, switched to AICP ROM w/ no issues today.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
For the sion personally I think the way it's setup now is very understandable each thing is clearly labeled as to what's what. The only thing I could think of to improve would be a more clear way of knowing when its done installing like a check mark at done or something
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok i now have the full aosp lp source code :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Same Here :D

I might be (if I get Time, so not promising) lollipop for Otter and OtterX, Oteer higher priority sice lovejoy already working on OtterX,

Is it worth upgrading to OtterX? I know its a Hashcode project but..............
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yes upgrade. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
If you want I'll help test anything you need tested :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
In a word, yes. Why? Almost 6GB of usable drive space.

Reading through the posts across the forum I think that you will find that people who have not upgraded don't use their Kindle very much. Why would you want to make a ROM for people who are unlikely to use it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Me too ! My kindle waiting for new, early stage, wifiless, soundless, inverted colors, FC's all the time, LP builds :) but i hope will be better ;)

Regards Steve ! have a nice day
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok im leaving work for home in 20 minutes. i got the full source down last night, i put all device specific repos in local manifest and left it repo syncing this morning. so hopefully when i get home i can try my 1st build. :D fingers crossed.....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
[MENTION=5279145]lllukas[/MENTION] i think at least we will not have wifi on first few builds. but yes as soon as i get anything that boots past the boot animation i will post it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
[MENTION=3816775]koop1955[/MENTION]

I dont need extra space, I need extra speed. I am on Jandycane because its smooth. If there is a huge change in performance, please tell me. I will convert right away :laugh:

[MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION]

If you are having issues with build, ill help out
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Then, we pushing modules from 4.4.4 and should working! :D:D if this is really stupid idea, please dont laughting to loud ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
no thats what i did this morning i synced all 4.4 device repos etc. we will find out in a few hours:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
I think that the consensus is that the current ROM runs as fast as Otter ROMs (hard to measure that of course) and will only get faster as development continues.

You do know that you can go through the conversion process and convert back if you don't like it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
here we go :D

1st error sorted

hardware/ti/omap4xxx is duplicated in in device/amazon/omap4-commondomx/domx.

so i removed it from 5.0 source and now using the device repo.

error 2:

device/amazon/otterx/charger/charger.c

(wheres hashcode when you need him) lol

this ones bootable recovery. same fix remove from manifest and pulling mine from my 4.4 source.

error 3:

duplicate lib domx, in: i committed out one of them in /hardware/ti/omap4xxx/omap4.mk.

edit: didn't work.

it looks like theres a few sharedlibs that are duplicated between: /hardware/ti/omap4xxx and /device/amazon/omap4-common which throw errors.

error2 showed its ugly head again so im just try cm's cm-12 version. its saying minui/minui.h is not a dir. but its there in bootable/recovery? any ideas anyone? how does it get the path of the .h files? its not finding it?

the aosp 5.0 compiling process seems to list all the .mk files its including in the build. at this point it must check for missing and duplicate code. so im still working my way through these 1x1.

i am using my local manifest for all the changes.

just thought i would post some errors/fixes here so anyone else attempting it can join in.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Once you get past this it will get something like, no rule to make target: wpa_supplicant_8_ti
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
how far are you? ive included 4.4 wpa_supplicant_8_ti but im not there yet:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
joshua see my edits above. any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok im past it. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
its building. fingers crossed guys
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
Fingers and toes are currently crossed :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
So, can we install through Sion or clean install suggested?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
lol, that might be awhile. you have to take apart your kindle and manually polish the emmc clean.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
How hard could it be? lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
its still building :) no errors yet.

thats 1.5 hours in
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
grrrraaaa. bas#£rd. start again:(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok, im trying a different tack. i got all slims source downloaded at last. so now i try with slims:). expect the same though. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Well then, I will try with aosp, now that you have completely given up on it :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
cool slims doing good so far
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Lollipop SLim?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] t3chwizard:
I think SlimPop flows better as a nane
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
SlimLol.

lol =)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
all errored again on recovery. is there a way to build without recovery?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Umm what were you trying to do?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
every 5.0 build i try weather its slim or straight aosp errors on recovery. i have tried alsorts but just cant get past it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok i found it.

> I am looking to build aosp but omit the recovery.img building. *What*

> can I do to acheive this?*

Set TARGET_NO_RECOVERY to true in BoardConfig.mk of your device. See*

device/ti/panda/BoardConfig.mk for an example
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Wthats the exact error you are getting? Can you send me zip?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
just heading home now:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
couldnt find minui/minui.h no such file or folder. although in bootable/recovery/gui/ that folder & file are there
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Wow, I seriously wish Hash would come help us sometime.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
aosp source also throws errors on charger/charger. which is something to do with the charger icons.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Have you got anything working yet?:confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
nope:(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
good news: its building now and im past my previous error:) fingers crossed again.

Cheers Steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
We are all rooting for you!!!!

Sion looks good! I think it is easy enough to understand. Good work!

Edit: changed soon to sion
[Kindle Fire Android Development] t3chwizard:
Hehe rooting. I sense an unintentional pun.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
Lol maybe not completely unintentional...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Looks great!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Nooooooooooooo first LP build gives me a blank screen after bootloader on Otter. :(

Edit: Im looking up on the OtterX tree on KFire-Android. I will try for otterX tommorow, but you all will have to tell me how it goes!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
Sion works very well. I like the layout now a lot. The one change that would make it better for viewing would be to make the background dark instead of white. Great job and good luck on 5.0.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
I'm not trying to start a war, but I respectfully disagree. I like the white background. In fact, I wish there was a way to make all apps have light backgrounds because I really hate the default android dark look.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
My install of Sion is not dark at all. But them, I am not using slim dark, either. Are your system settings making it dark?

Edit: Never mind, I misread the post. I agree that a white background is better than dark.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
How about a dark option then?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] redbean25:
Is it normal for ADB to not work in recovery? I'm using the new recovery build 2.8.1.0. I can use it in fastboot and when booted to the ROM, just not in recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
please reword your question. adb is not fastboot??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
how did you get it to build? which sources did you use? try swapping libEGL.so with one from a 4.4 rom @ /system/libs in finished.zip

Away Notice

[MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] and all.....I am off on an adventure (work related!) Heading out for a cross-county drive. I will be (mostly) off-line for the next two weeks.

Don't let Lollipop stress you out, my friend. You will wrestle with it, curse at it and then....it will build and it will all seem so simple. (Isn't that how it always works?)

Take care and I will try to check in as I can.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] redbean25:
ADB works when I'm booted in the ROM. Also I can send fastboot commands when in fastboot mode. I just get nothing when in recovery. ADB devices returns nothing and nothing is showing in my Windows device manager.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
anyone else confirm?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
I just installed Twrp-2.8.1.0-otterx.zip, abd not working for me either, not showing anything in device manager.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
mmm ill take a look later.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] redbean25:
Cool. Glad it's not just me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Just tried that, dosnt work. In frustration I Shift + Delete the file :p worked for three hours to fix that finally got me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
I'm cool with that. Options are good.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
im implementing a theme switch:) everyones happy)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I am setting up an environment in a virtual machine. (OpenSUSE) just to play and understand more. The last time I compiled anything was linux kernels 10 years ago. How do I use your kernel?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Hi,

Some time ago [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] had enabled (external) mic support for KF: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1770672

Is (t)his patch included in this rom, or should I stay with JB?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
its included but Hash said it needs more work. that and otg support is something i will look at when/if i get lollipop compiled:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
add this to your local manifest.

<project path="kernel/amazon/otter-common" name=slimkat-otterx/kernel_omap_otter-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Hey, thanks for the heads up. Can't wait for Lollipop!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
that is for my kernel with smartassv2
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
im trying cm source now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
My stupid computer crashed wile building LP AOSP for OtterX. What a fail
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
which source did you build for otter?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
im struggling:) did you get a hangouts invite from joshua?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
That build was for OtterX

I didnt send my Email Yet. Too busy. Any extra minute is going to this.

I'm struggling too, its just impossible to develop on a pc with 1.6 GHz Dual Core with 2.5 Gigs Ram. Pentium sucks.

Edit: Also, I will have to completely stop xda for next 4 years after December. I have 2 Board exams and have to Prepare for IIT JEE.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] BupycNet:
Very bad. Battery drain in power on with display off. 6 days. On others roms i get 30 days
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
Other roms? cm7 and stock kindle should be able to get 30 days of lite use, but don't think you can expect anywhere near 30 days on Jellybean nor Kitkat. You have to make a choice features or battery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BupycNet:
I get 30 days on early KitKat builds.

Its a bug in kernel. Deep sleep work it not correctly
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AtomicFizzle:
omni

BTW, supposedly Omni had a booting L build the other day-Now Booting on Android 5.0 Lollipop! Still a lot of work ahead for all roms, but sounds like they have a good start. Might be something to keep your eye on. I had run Omni KK on my phone for a while and it was one of more stable roms for me. If you need a break from trying with CM based roms, might be even worth a shot to try a KK build of Omni.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ill tike a look at the kernel. anyone use stock settings no smartass? is the battery the same? i thought battery was due to otterx not just my rom???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
syncing omniroms source now. should be done by the morning. thanks for the headsup
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:

Thanks didn't even look or read all the pages. I skimmed through a few. Should have read thoroughly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
This is causing by changing to otterx , not Your rom. On every otterx roms, battery life its much worst than otter roms BUT with Your kernel its better than first otterx builds.

We should start from beginig ;) when i back home, i try flash only new botloader (2.0.5 right?) and first otterx compatible recovery, then i stay with otter partition layout, and i flash latest cm11 for otter. We will see ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yes its a known bug. i need to look at it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Please try a fresh DL and install. Its all OK here. Can anyone else confirm??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I did not experience that issue but there does seem to be an issue with the file delete part. Once in there I cannot use the back button. I had to kill the app and relaunch. Everything else works in light and dark mode. Let me know if you need any further testing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i will check later. is it just the flasher delete section, does the init.d deleter work ok or is it both?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
Here is that wearable service I have to keep killing.

Bad, Bad news.

My kindle fell victim to the bad charging port problem, its dead now.

Here in India, you dont get those parts

Try hold power button, more than 30sec then plug charger.

If You did it. .. Well, its really bad news :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
OK I cleared data and cache on the app and then uninstalled it. Rebooted and cleared both caches. Rebooted and installed Sion. I then used Sion to install the default settings zip and rebooted. Everything works fine now. Thanks for the support, Sion and most of all Slim on my kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i have come full circle on lp. couldnt get omni source to work either. im back working on slimpop now. someone has compiled it for the nexus 7 & nexus 5, so there source is close:) our main problem will be updating hashcodes work (which is where every build attempt up until now has failed on.its all about the charger.c and minui/minui.h my skills are very limited, and now andro's kindle is broken theres not many of us left:(

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Sion app is working like a charm. Deleted the previous beta version, cleared data on trickstermod app, set default animation in developer options back to 1.0 and rebooted.

I'm really looking forward to this ROM. Your progress with the SlimKat ROM, the kernal and this ROM have been amazing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
lol. shhhhh its still going. im sweating with heart palpitations. when you brunch otterx it builds boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img, it was the recovery that was problematic so i found a way of only building the system.img and boot.img separately without building the recovery.img:)

Hey [MENTION=5417966]androvista[/MENTION] my kindle's charging port is bad, and the screen is broken, but it still charges when I put the charger on an elevated surface. Does that work for you?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
NOOOOOOOOO! Felt so close too!

Question: You don't have to start the compilation from the very beginning every time you run into an error do you? Like the build process will continue on after you fix the error?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
should do:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I am building cm11 just to set my environment. It failed to build a kernel, so I cleaned out and started again. It takes a while.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok i found a way to sort some errors, back building again. for now, lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I just used cyanogen repo for otterx. The error was actually a depend, lzop. Installed and compiling.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
otter or otterx?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Otterx. To test it, I will use my Kindle, which is otterx.
