well, dont know if the issue with unable to download some app via play is gapps related or rom related, but using the beta seems to fix it.. i will post here if any issue come forward, but i dont use play that much though.

anyway, oot, noob question, how to backup OS setting? so I dont have to re-set it after flashing update. auto backup/restore works?

thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i never have settings to redo. just wipe system and caches and it keeps my settings
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Yeah, just realize that. How about if I clean install it. Any idea to restore the previous setting?

Thanks

Hi

I followed the instructions on the opening post and how to load the bootloader and custom TWRP. Everything seemed to go fine until the intiial boot.

I got an "encryption unsuccesful" error.

I read here a bit and saw something about changing filesystem to F2FS (since it didnt change automatically)

I changed system and data and tried to reboot and it asked me if I wanted to install SuperSu (which it hadnt previously). I swiped so it would and rebooted but it stayed in the Kindle Fire boot screen and seemed to freeze ( I waited several minutes)

Confused I went to recovery again and reverted to EXt4 to see if the encryption unsuccesful thing would at least return but I got stuck frozen again.

So I'm wondering if there are any recommendations to get this thing working.

I'm thinking wiping everything in recovery again and maybe ADB side loading the rom again in recovery and changing the file system right away?

Any help would be appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Which version of bootloader and recovery are u using right now?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I think dokie is on the right track. You need Boot loader 2.05 and twrp 2.7.1
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
How's build 6 [MENTION=994299]dokie80[/MENTION]. Hash is going to look at deep sleep problem if he gets time. Hope L source drops soon, I'm loving it on my N5:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
No problem so far.

4.4.4 is L?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
No android L is 5:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Ah. Ic.. U using custom ROM for us Nexus then. Here I thought Nexus get first update :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Yes I have a dev preview on my n5 so when they release the source code I can port it to the kindle
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Terracio:
Hi

I'm using TWRP 2.7.1.0

Bootloader is 2.05

Rom version is 4.4.4 build 6
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Go into twrp/wipe/advanced

Check data then on the right of the screen press "repair or change file system". It should say " current file system:f2fs" if not then press the "change file system" button. Let me know what happens
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Terracio:
I did that, when I tried to reboot it told me there was no OS and if I was sure. So I went to adb sideload and reloaded the Rom and Gapps.

I rebooted into the recovery cheked data under advanced wipe settings and it was F2Fs. I rebooted into system and got the encryption unsucessful error again

Im sideloading the Gapps right after the rom through ADB, could that be affecting?

System is Ext4 as is the cache.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
System & cache should be ext4

Instead of sideloading (not sure what it does as I never use it) just adb push.

adb push /path/to/rom/ /sdcard/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Just curious... Why do we need this step? Is this some kind of magic spell? =)

And thank you for the update!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Just let's everything settle, my WiFi didn't work until I rebooted.

Just something that I do:) especially after a dirty flash or new kernel
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
I have never had this wifi issue after updates. And I always wipe only the system partition when updating your ROM.

Perhaps this is related to wifi connection type? Just a blind guess.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Terracio:
Tried with ADB push with same result. Should I perhaps wipe system, data and give it another shot?

Apparently this error can occur on other devices as well due to corrupt data partition but can't seem to figure out how to fix it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
I am not sure whether this is related or not but you may check this post, it says something about an encryption error:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52672308
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Terracio:
Not sure if its the same error but, formatting is what Im pretty much considering and reflashing. I'm not sure if I should wipe 'system' (along with everything else) excepted internal storage.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Terracio:
Update: Ok I just realized when I flash the rom (or do anything for the matter) I have an "Updating Partition Details..." message but nothing ever hapens after doesnt give me a finished message or anything despite showing the buttons to go back,reboot,wipe etc. Perhaps this really is the problem, I'm looking into it, considering a bad TWRP install.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
The android L preview aosp source has landed:) don't know what I can do but I will have a look tomorrow.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Try using earlier twrp? There are 2 version of twrp, 1 for f2fs, 1 for ext4.

I M still using the f2fs version without problem. Anyone else using the new twrp that support both ext4 and f2fs with problem?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Im using 2.7.1.0 w/o problem.

Btw, slim 6.0 on board, works, like always( great;))

Thanks [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION]

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
good question. i have it on my nexus5. but can't find a setting. lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

full build instructions in op

I have updated op with full build instructions and sources. Have fun and enjoy. let me know if you get any errors.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
So far so good. Nice work [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION], I really like it. Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asdf002:
Rom is playing nicely. But trickstermpd not so much. Frequencies not locking.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
have you set on boot?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
also there is a delay after boot which you can set.

example. set max cpu to 1200 then press the tick, then the settings symbol and make sure kernel is checked, back out and reboot. then open it up and check it will still be on 1000000 until the set delay time is up then it switches to 1200000. it saves all the settings etc initializing all at once.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
edit: [MENTION=3640822]asdf002[/MENTION] also check grace period just below delay
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asdf002:
Got it figured out. Took a couple boots to stick. Just used to the hammerhead.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok the transparent nav and status bar mystery might have been solved. its the launcher:(

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
forget^^ I've reread it. not what i thought.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Also there is no transparency when in immersive mode when you swipe down. I remember having to enable high performance graphics in performance in CM11
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
OK finally got around to trying this........and I love it! Fastest ROM I have tried lately. I will post any bugs I run into.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
new slimbuild5 gapps are in there download section (i will update op later). just wipe system in advanced menu, reflash rom and new gapps then wipe caches and reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
im syncing source if you want to wait. ill put new build up later.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Thanks!

First day running the ROM, enjoying so far .Nice work, Lovejoy!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
v0.03 is uploading. slimkat build 5.1
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Then, [MENTION=2308563]Terracio[/MENTION], are u sure u r using twrp for OtterX, not otter?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Terracio:
Yeah, positive. Here is file name

otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img

I'm baffled.

I have to try your suggestion of the new TWRP that supports both F2Fs and EXT4
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
2.7.1.0 IS the new twrp that support both.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Do You change partition mode in otterx botloader ? (From amazon to otterx)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Terracio:
Update:

Upon some reading apparently TWRP 2.7.1.0 is the one which supports the EXT4 to F2Fs feature so I suppose using an older version wont be feasible.

However when I turn on the tablet theres an advanced menu under recovery mode.

One of the options is Partition mode which seems to be under "Amazon" and the other mode is "OtterX"

Should it perhaps be set to OtterX?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Immediately ;) after that, do a next step (wipe data in recovery (f2fs filesystem)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Terracio:
LOL, I literally just posted about this a second before I saw your reply. I will try that right now.

Ok it turns out I had to wait 2 minutes to reply and during that time I tried it and it worked!!!

Thanks very much for your suggestion (or at least giving me confidence to try it hehe)

And thanks everybody who tried to help. I'll let you know what my GF thinks of the performance!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Hahaha.. didn't think that u still using Amazon partition. Great. Welcome aboard.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
Yes I am. I cannot get the data partition to Mount after booting. Storage in settings doesn't show internal storage. It seems to work fine pushing files with ADB in TWRP. I have checked the md5 and followed Hash's procedure several times. I had this working with the older version of TWRP but redid everything with the newer version and now I am having this issue. Later today I will try with the older version.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
OtterX twrp doesn't support data mounting. Hashcode already mention this in his thread. U ll need to push files via adb.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I wasn't clear in my description of the problem. No sdcard is mounted after I boot the ROM. this is not when in twrp. twrp function seems to be fine. When I boot the rom i have no storage device. Any app I launch just crashes if it uses storage like Google play. Under the settings, storage menu it only shows internal storage at the top but not USB storage below which normally lists usage of download dir etc.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Have you changed data partition to f2fs?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
That is normal. OtterX only have internal storage. Combined data and sdcard partition
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Here is my KF storage.

Which ROM and gapps are u using?

I suggest u go to twrp, wipe-advance, and format data partition. See if it fixed
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
Yes. I think that is when this all started.

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

I do not get half of the list you get in the picture. no download etc.

I have tried slimkat with their trds gapps which I was on when this started. I also tried cm with their recommended gapps and also with pa minimal gapps.

tonight I am going to try the older version of tarp which I used successfully the first time I went to otterx. I think I read that this has worked for other people with similar issues.

EDIT

I did go through the entire upgrade process which included formats you suggest.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Try toggling back to ext4 and back to f2fs. data is the only part to be f2fs. Also after swapping do a wipe of each partition and watch the output. It will tell you how it is formatting each part.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
system and cache cannot be f2fs?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Ext4
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
All ext4 except data which should be f2fs. Also internal storage should return "invalid partition selection"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I will try this when I get a chance during lunch.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
That was it. I went too far in trying to use f2fs for system and cache. Oops! Thanks for all the help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Thank You guys, for showing us how hard brick kindle :D

Btw, its possible ?;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I'm not sure what you are saying but I've heard of no hard bricked kindles going to OtterX. After what I just had happen I didn't even considered it soft bricked. In the end I caused my own problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
The kindle is unbrickable whilst hash is around:D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Would it be possible to port this to the otterX on Slim ROM, I'll check it out tomorrow when I get on my computer. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2154075
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
I think he meant is its hard to brick KF.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Running build 6 stable now, installed with no problems. First impression is it feels much smoother and faster. Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] muiriddin:
Hashcode really is amazing. In addition the option for running slimkat on the kindle is quite nice as well, thanks for the ROM. I got it installed and have been playing with options. I may have to try Slimkat on my other devices...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
lovejoy777 bringing Slimkat to the OtterX has me running it on my N5 too. Great ROM all the way around and the support is terrific. I want to try running it on my Xoom as well but since there is no port yet I am trying to port it myself. Boot looping right now but it is my first attempt. I am going to take a logcat and see where it takes me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
make sure you check all settings as slimteam like to incorperate there functions into the original android settings. ie keyboard, security etc
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
my mates got an xzoom. which model do you have i can try a build for you
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
[MENTION=3417841]chykal[/MENTION]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i had a bit of lag etc on build 6 after a dirty flash. so i just did a full wipe and started again, i can feel a big difference. so maybe all you dirty flashes should do a full clean also for build 6.?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I have a stingray but no data plan so I run with the wingray roms. I am using CM for wingray for the base ROM and Slimkat for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5110. This is the closest hardware I could find to the Xoom with an ARMv7 CPU. I got a logcat and have made a couple of changes to the build.prop and grabbed a few more libs from the CM ROM. I will be zipping it up and flashing it again tonight. Last try got to the Skim logo and hung there.

I am using the guide here on XDA called "how to port different ROMS to your device (simplest and fastest)". I am not sure flashing it to another xoom would help right now. If I get it working on my stingray and your friend has an Everest for example then we may try getting that to work.

Right now I am familiarizing myself with logcat and dmesg logs. I think I have a long way to go.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I will see if I can build from source, although I'm out tonight so will be tomorrow:(. I don't have an Xoom so you will have to test it for me:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
That would be great! Let me know what you come up with.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
OK I'm syncing omniroms wingray source. So then I will copy the device specific git paths into my slim local manifest and it should build. I'm downloading source from scratch so it will take 3-4 hours (I will be out when it finishes). If I'm not too drunk when I'm back I will try to start a build:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
[MENTION=3417841]chykal[/MENTION] /\ /\ /\
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
That sounds good. Have fun getting "not too drunk" :) I will be sharpening the blades on my lawn tractor and my mower. Then changing the oil and filters on both of them. Then reward myself with a beer. Maybe two...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Ko I'm back. Little pisytrd but I'm gonna have a go:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
OK I ment
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
[MENTION=3417841]chykal[/MENTION] you finished your lawn yet:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I'm one eyeing it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Yep I'm f&%£ed
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Sorry I tried but too much %

I'll look at it tomorrow:) jchhcxgvxfbcfjcxhjf
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I wasn't actually mowing my lawn but doing maintenance on my lawn equipment. I like that a lot better than mowing the lawn. I get to take things apart and put them back together :) Sometimes they actually work better but occasionally they don't work at all :( This time both the lawn tractor and mower are working better but I still have more to do on them tomorrow.

Been there my friend. It is definitely more fun getting there than being there. If I ever make it across the pond again I would like to have a pint with you.

I went to an Independence Day party tonight so I am a little f&%£ed myself. My wife had to drive the 50 minute ride home. Fortunately she didn't mind. Better luck tomorrow.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Would a wingray ROM boot on my mates Everest? I could use that for debugging. Its building but not sure if I have everything right.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
The way I understand it any of the 3 will work and the only difference is with the RIL on Everest and Stingray. I did some reading on this and the only other issue I found reported on other ROMs was with USB OTG as it is mapped differently.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
new build tomorrow. with new features:)

2 new original slimroms features have been added

a new revamped quite hours and slimroms new "heads up"

All slimrom teams work so all praise goes to those guys.

Im syncing now but wont get a build going until tomorrow.

exiting:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
struggling on the wingray build im affraid. ill keep at it in my spare time though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I really appreciate your effort.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Some commits are still not fully merged. I keep syncing every hour lol. As soon as all the commits get merged I will upload a build.

Edit. Slimteam release weeklies on a Sunday/Monday. This is what I'm keeping up with. So for future updates always check op on a Monday. :). As new features have been added it is taking a little longer. Won't be long though..... Stay tuned...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
OK at last 6.2 is building :) not sure what happened to 6.1. But its 6.2 that's building.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
[MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] I see you changed the name for deconfig . the BoardConfigCommon.mk commit syncs ok but the other one in arch/arm/bla/bla is not syncing although I see that both have been merged. I deleted the whole device/amazon folder from my source and tried a resync but the same happens. any ideas why it misses that commit? I manually edited the file name omitting the "otter_" and now im building again. (had me stumpped all night until i saw your commits in gerrit) :) not a big deal just curious. cheers steve

so hopefuly 6.2 not too far away guys.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Hopefully this one works. Btw how long does each build take to build on your computer.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
If I make clobber like I did trying to sort my errors then maybe 3 hours if its in cache and I just do a make installclean then 30 mins. So unfortunately its not finished and my bed is calling, so 7 hours until upload. Sorry guys, I spent all night on the error. (Next time I'm keeping my mouth shut until its built lol).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
uploading now?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

How is the battery consumption in this version?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Unfortunately it still consumes the battery. :D [I am sorry I couldn't to resist w/o joking].

To be a bit more serious I see nothing wrong with the battery consumption. No sign of a dramatic drain, at least for now. Although it may very depend on device/apps usage I guess.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Still on 1st cycle so no idea yet
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
By the way Steve, I suppose the most recent ROM date on the thread title would help users to keep it updated.

And you may change slim gapps 6 link - they have stable release already.

I am still wondering what a great ROM is this. Much appreciate for your work. Thank you Steve!

The only thing makes me confused - I still can't find how to set the wallpaper to none. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
LOL... I guess I did leave myself open for that one. In my own experience the last two builds I was down to 15% battery with only 2.5 to 3 hours screen time. Before that I was getting over 4 hours screen time. I don't have a lot of apps installed. I was seeing over on the OtterX CM11 thread that Google Play services was giving a lot of wakelocks preventing the Kindle from deep sleep. Someone mentioned to turn the services of in privac but I haven't attempted it on this ROM, yet.

That's cool. I probably won't get a chance to flash the latest version until Thursday. I have fire department training tonight and a 12 hour shift on the ambulance tomorrow. Them it's four glorious days off.
