[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
This is Trickster MOD. I guess...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yes trickster swipe left:) also tap the settings icon and set on boot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Idontwantausername:
Thanks, but why?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
sorry. to get the info page swipe left. and if you make any changes don't forget to hit the settings icon to set at boot:)

that's what i should have written.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Idontwantausername:
Sorry, I meant is there anything there worth changing? ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
cpu frequency 1200000:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Idontwantausername:
Thanks, any other tips I may have missed? I just flash the ROM and gapps ATM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
only to check all settings out, as slim tend to incorporate some of there magic within other settings. and screen animation turn off for speeeeeeed?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
use slims minimal 5.6 gapps. "oh" and hold on tight.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
slim tip:

Under Settings, instead of clicking the actual Off/On toggle for TRDS, click the title instead and it will open the options menu. If you click the option in there, you can choose manual, daylight, or time of day. :) Enjoy!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Idontwantausername:
That's an awesome tip!

Guys,

I just installed v5.6, and have a "little" problem. :(

Can't connect to any wi-fi network... Tried switching wi-fi region, didn't help. Reboot tablet, didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
its when google services updates it breaks it. something to do with googles new apps. i have been told its happening on other otterx roms. (but not confirmed myself). its the only issue at the minute. if all you use it for is the weather etc, just manually input your address inapp.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
anyone interested in 4.4.3 :D

[Kindle Fire Android Development] KCJunkman:
hmmm, I have tried to install the lastet build 5.6 several time, both as a a dirty flash and an clean one, but each time when it boots, it gives me an encryption error and asks to do a factory reset..any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Are you at the F2FS filesystem
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KCJunkman:
I am using the OtterX, if that is what you are asking? I am currently running the 5.4 build with no problems, after the failed install, i was able to restore and boot up normally..

KCJunkman
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
There was an update to the OtterX project, it gives you the faster F2FS filesystem and larger system/cache partitions to support future ROM's. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52995722&postcount=286

It changes the recovery and bootloader

The 5.6 build (And I guess future builds) only support that new file system. You will have to update your recovery and bootloader: Here are the instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52995722&postcount=286
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KCJunkman:
thanks, didnt catch that for some reason, got everything working just fine, much appreciated
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ablabla:
Solved it! Wiped everything (again), and reinstalled the ROM first, then the gapps!

4.4.3? I'd go for it! ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
5.6 is a f2fs rom. bootloader should be 2.05
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
SlimKat 4.4.3 build 5.7 for the OtterX F2FS

Here is the link for the 4.4.3 F2FS slimroms build 5.7.

wipe as normal if coming from previous version (f2fs), wipe system, flash rom and slimroms minimal 5.6 gapps then wipe both caches and reboot.

if coming from anything else a full wipe is recommended. (see Hashcodes threads for the right bootloader and recovery).

next I will try to add hashcodes commits for the new twrp 2.7.1 with ext4 and f2fs support.

Enjoy Steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
if you find any bugs please post here and i will take a look tomorrow.

4.4.3 is still classed as a slimroms beta. (although its looking pretty stable as far as i can see) :)

4.4.3 battery life seems better
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Am I understanding this right? There is basically no major performance difference between ext4 and f2fs? I'm trying to just keep partitions as is. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Assuming that you have converted to the OtterX partition structure (which is DEFINITELY worthwhile!) then there is a mixed bag on the performance gain, F2FS is faster on most things. Take a look at:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/f2fs-put-to-the-test-against-ext4/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697069

F2FS is actually slower on some things, but it is certainly the way of the future. Also, it is in a state of evolution. I expect to see some improvement now that we have a proper version of TWRP and are starting to get ROMs designed for that system.

I can't tell you what to do, but I took the plunge and don't regret it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Wonder if we can make this official so we can get ota updates
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I can try asking :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
The only problem at the minute is I have to do a couple of changes manually after building. I will try to set up a git repo with edited source files and see if I can get a build to work. After that I can't see a problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
So many changes coming. Let a brother breath and enjoy a ROM.. LOL :D

Just kidding [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION]. You and [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] are doing some amazing work with the Kindle, keep it up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
All the works by Hash and the slim team? I know what you mean though. Lol. In a week we've had f2fs, 4.4.3, twrp 2.7.1, slim 5.7 & 5.8 and hopefully soon f2fs & ext4 combined. All that and i had no internet all weekend. I would just get one thing done and uploaded and another evolution would present its self?. As soon as I get it working with Hashcodes commits it should settle to slimroms weeklies.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
If anyone has time we need some testing doing on performance with the translucent nav/status bars, ie (ro.config.low_ram=false) or ( ro.config.low_ram=true). does setting it to false have any negative performance? You can alter it in /system/build.prop/ 9th line from the bottom, use root explorer or similar app
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Not sure if placebo but it seem!s snappier with it set at true. (Downside being no translucent bars?). Please test and report your findings. Cheers steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
I just loaded this rom on F2FS, going to test it. Thanks lovejoy777!

:good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Making it false has no impact on performance. Go go go!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
thanks [MENTION=5417966]androvista[/MENTION]. thats the testing done then guys:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
I have set low_ram=true and still having status bar transparent. It's a good thing I suppose...

Besides I have a feeling that performance is a bit better. And yes this might be only my belief as it's very difficult to compare. As Steve says placebo. =)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
how the hell you gettin transparency with "true"? mine goes black as soon as i make the change.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
have you rechecked if it stayed true after reboot?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
I really don't know =)

I am not an expert and it is possible I am doing something wrong... But if I open system/build.prop it says low_ram=true

Edit: oh no. Opened the file with another app and it says false :\

Maybe the first editor opens cached version of the file. Grrrr!

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

OK then, I will never speak about the transparent status bar again. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
lol:) its because you need to give the file r/w permission before you edit it. if you make a change always close the app then reopen it and check if your changes have stuck.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
also proves the placebo effect:) as yours got faster even without the change sticking :-p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:

I have 5.8 running too.

I just noticed, my battery has been draining faster than before.

After checking the CPU states, it's clear, something prevents the KF to go to sleep.

And I don't have many apps installed!

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
hehehe.. lets just say that the previous version runs so smooth, that I dont think that upgrading is necessary :p

on 5.8, my KF last around 10 hours I think.. playing Hay Day, play movie for my kid sometimes.

for today..9h 46m on battery, with 33% battery.

cpu overclocked to 1.2Ghz.

I say the battery consumption is good!

anyone using this 2 apps?

any recommended apps for mx player alternative? that support subtitle (srt) when using upnp/dlna..

I use bubble upnp, tried android video player, vlc, and hd video ultimate.. all doesnt display sub automatically. I ll need to copy the srt to kf, and open it manually to use the sub. mx player does this automatically.

There is a whole thread about MX Player and issues working on 4.4.3 here: http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/wip-mx-player-support-android-4-4-3-t2726476

As a first step, I would try the upgrade option to 1.7.27 via the patch or Play.

If that doesn't work.....VLC or BSPlayer, I guess?

I haven't used ES File Explorer in years; I use the built in File Explorer for light stuff or ROM Toolbox (includes Root Browser) for anything serious.

I use ES for accessing file through network. latest update seems to fix the crash.

thanks again

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

downloading 5.9 now. i had sod sometimes on 5.6 (or 5.7?), but i think it's because the os is busy? never happened on 5.8 though. only sometimes, when i press the button, it'll take several seconds for kf to wake up. I uninstalled lock screen widget, seems to be faster, dunno.

having problem with store though, some apps cant be installed... play store stuck at "downloading", 2 apps i remember that cant be installed via store : mx player, blibli app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
had 2 sod in 24hr.. happened if I turn screen off for around 3-4 hours (not charging).

did not happen if screen off while charging though..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Just reporting I had a SOD last night too. Can't say of it's ROM related or not since I've only used this ROM after switching to the OtterX. All in all it's just a minor inconvenience IMHO.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
normally there caused by kernel. but Im not sure if its happing on any other roms. it is a little annoying, but not being a great dev like Hash and others there's not much i can do guys. I will see what i can find out & thanks for the feedback.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Honestly it doesn't even bother me. Since updating to the OtterX and flashing the SlimKat ROMs I've had about a handful of the SOD. In all reality it's just a minor inconvenience IMHO to the otherwise AWESOME ROM. I say focus your attention elsewhere unless you like a challenge then by all means sleuth away.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
4.4.4 is out, some security fix??

Anyway, thanks for your warm comment, m8
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
it is light sensor..

quote from kindle fire wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindle_Fire

"The first-generation Kindle Fire has a sensor on the upper left-hand corner of the screen. This is widely considered to be an ambient-light sensor, disabled since an early software upgrade."

as if it is working or not, is depend on the ROM, some says it is working on earlier CM's ROM version. on a discussion thread on kindle fire support forum, a user said that it was working on earlier fire os, but the option is gone after update, other user say its too sensitive, or not working properly..

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
all the beta gapps have more apps duel themed for trds (darkslim)

dankoman is doing a great job but these builds quite often have little issues with some apps. so I always recommend the stable versions which have been passed by the slim team. you can try the beta packages but if anything becomes incompatible or wonky then use the 5.8 for now. slimteam will update there official gapps as soon as they are proven. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
a quick note.

if the beta package has a new mod that interferes with google play services it is not as simple as just reflashing an official gapps to remedy the problem, a lot of uses in the hammerhead thread have had all sorts of problems trying out these cutting edge gapps, some have had to do a full factory img reflash and full wipes. most problems have been when playing with the multy dpi playstore ones though, but be warned.

another note.

all playstore gapps auto update anyway so the only thing you miss out on by not flashing beta gapps is an extra google app or two being theamablewith trds.
