[SIZE=+1]Q&A/T For ROM: SlimKat (unoffical) for the OtterX[/SIZE]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Try auto killer app. This is a name of the app, not killing apps but change the minfree setting. Greenify app also recommended by lots of ppl.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i never use app killers. android should take care of that. thats also why slimroms have no kill all in recents its not good to kill apps unless there missbehaving.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Like I said, auto killer is just the name. It doesn't actually kill apps. Read about it. I don't tweak KF at all, since I don't use many apps. Here's what I have: kindle, hay day, es file explorer, ad-away, my player, vlc, trickster, series guide, screen filter.

SlimKat 6.7

Build 6.7 f2fs.

Link: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567718285

md5: 2b6b79331aed3b6f6cd1a3cfc9cc2418

normal none linaro build.

I borked my enviroment up and had to start again from scratch:(, because of some changes to source i had problems just to get this to build. but now I have a nice clean source so am going to have another look into linaro:)

just flash my 777kernel (after 1st full boot) for smartassV2

just wipe system, flash rom and gapps then wipe both caches and reboot.

Enjoy Steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
just trying a build with my kernel source (at least if it breaks the wifi etc i know its in one of my commits).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
just an update on progress;)

no wifi. strange because i have used that source before and compiled and worked fine. ive just made my smartass commits on a clean KFire-android source, rebuilding to see if it has working wifi etc (maybe the orig source has changed) i dont know how to resync my kernel repo with the original source, so i have to delete my kernel repo, reclone the uptodate source then reedit and rebuild. (i must learn more:)).

build 6.7 with 777kernel

here is a slimkat build 6.7 compiled with the 777kernel sources. :) at last a little progress.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
1. So I take it we will not have to flash the 777kernel with this build?

2. If so, will we still have to use TricksterMod to set smartassV2?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
1. yes no need to flash the kernel seperate.

2. yes you still use trickstermod to change to smartass (interactive is still default).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
There are 3 animation settings: Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale and Animator Duration Scale. All default to .75. Only change the middle one? Or All three?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
all three
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Thanks. At first that seemed to make my Kindle quite unhappy (pink flashes) but a reboot seemed to clear that up. I'll see how that goes over the next few days.

Initial impression of the new ROM/Kernel is quite favorable. Doing really well on battery life.

Cheers.

I assume this will require a clean install????
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
nope. if already on slim just wipe system, flash rom and gapps then wipe both caches and reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
whole rom and kernel. I'm back at pc soon

ill retrace my steps then
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
So basically as long as the base of the ROM hasn't changed what took kit it's built on has no effect? I'm kind of a noob when it comes to building ROMs. :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yes its just how the rom is compiled. sorry to do this guys

BUT!!

I have this uploading????
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
so i just need sm toolchain to work☺ i have read reports of it being a slight improvement over linaro for smoothness. that going to be another nights project though as i need sleep within the hour. over 3 weeks of trying and it all finally work ?. now i will try and fork the the source files/folders i committed so i don't lose what i have done on my next repo sync or clean. hope i don't forget what I've done?

If coming from previous slimkat

wipe system

flash rom & gapps

wipe both caches

reboot

let it settle for a couple of minutes, then hold on tight. lol

If coming from another rom

full wipe recommended

sorry again for all the builds. but it all just went well tonight:)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Downloading now. I'll let you know how it runs tomorrow.

Are you still recommending the animations to be switched from .75 to .25??? That little trick did wonders for my device. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yep. i also set my kernel like this using trickstermod app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Thank you Sir, I'll give it a go in a moment.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
its a big improvement. no placebo. although??? lol mines flying. i also only dirty flash as the instructions above. and never had an issue.

some feedback would be good. i never use all the settings (too busy building) so i may miss things.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I'll try and report back tomorrow how the ROM runs. Thank you again for all your hard work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
also don't overclock. it makes our poor old kindles a little laggy. 1.08 is better imo.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Yea, I found that out a couple weeks ago. The latest update and gapps flashed fine. I'm going to let it settle in for a bit and then test it out. I'll try to report back tomorrow.

save all changes

make installclean and build as normal

if you watch the output you see it using the new toolchain.

i also check with cpuspy after flashing.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
6.9 zip is broken. Sadly, like usual, I do clean install, so end up with no OS for a while, then have to push the 6.8 via adb.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AtomicFizzle:
I always keep the previous rom files on my sdcard for that reason [emoji6]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
sorry. i got up in a rush this morning and saw it had finished uploading so i just posted the link. the zip works my end, so must of been the uploading that broke it. ive got one more little job then im going home. will upload new one asap.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
I do too usually, but for unknown reason, I deleted the old ROM file before boot to recovery. Lol.

Anyway, I skip the 6.8, so the old rom was 2 version before, before the Linaro one, 6.7? So faster to push the 6.8 anyway.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

well done mate. im still uploading 4.9 for you at 59% don't know whats wrong. its only 256.5mb zipped up
[Kindle Fire Android Development] redbean25:
So all these recent builds have no new features, just built by different tool chains? What is the benefit, speed/performance/less lag?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
I would use Linaro builds made by me for the best speed/performacne/less lag. You can see what commits are made by AICP here. Those are synced daily for the Nightly builds on the aicp download site (No Linaro). Linaro builds are compiled by myself when I have time and/or There is a commit that I think will make a difference on a build for the otterx.

To break it down

Builds here are made by AICP with the standard toolchain but are made nightly.

Builds here are made by me with the Linaro toolchain, these are faster than the ones made by AICP but are not made as frequently.

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

If this upload fails try making it a tar.bz2. That commpesses it alot. The zip being small sounds normal, the tar.bz2 of the linaro 4.7 toolchain I used was about 130mb if I remeber correctly and was over 500 mb extracted.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
all my builds have a number. ie 6.9 this is the official slimroms build number (see there change log) recently i have also been doing builds with different toolchains. the ones with 777kernel also have my kernel which is based off hashcodes source with an added cpu governor (smartassV2) although all this is just trial and error. as nobody knows what truly is best. the new 6.9 build seems pretty good so far
