if you want slimkat then you are there :) yes if you used sion to install the scripts then check with trickstermod in general. if it says 1.2 and smartass then they are already set. also you are correct about about window animation. its stock settings are all .75 just swap them to .25 for faster window animations. it makes it snappier. also goto google settings and turn off ok google as we do not have a mic. hope to see you in the slimpop thread. cheers steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gots54:
Thanks for the reply and suggestion to try SlimPop. I was hesitant to do so thinking it might use more resources than Kat. With only 512MB of RAM on the KF, it seems I've got to close every app after using it otherwise the device really lags. Does Pop run as fast or better than Kat? I come from the Windows mentality where every new version uses more memory and storage than the previous version, requiring better hardware. Wasn't sure if Android follows suit.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
keep on slimkat until later tonight. i have a very good build coming later :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gots54:
awesome! I actually did load SlimPop an hour ago to try out, then used used trickster to OC to 1.2Ghz. But I'm not sure that it's any better/faster than SlimKat was. WIll go back to SlimKat after you post the new build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Sorry maybe I wasn't clear, i have finished developing slimkat. The new build will be slimpop. ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gots54:
Ohhh ok got it - I misunderstood. I'll stay on SilmPop Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8-V0.7 until I see the new build posted. So far so good though! Will start posting on that thread going forward. :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
Just a sidenote for those of us that are still on this ROM tune in radio, xiaa radio don't work. I even flashed slimpop and they work fine on it then reflashed kk and they just force close.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
Would it be possible to import the theme engine .apk's from CM11 to this ROM to support custom themes or are there other files required that are buried deep in the system? This is not a major concern of mine but more just curiousity. I love the SlimKat builds because they remain smooth and responsive unlike CM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
something bigger and better is being tested as we type. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
it will mean themes for everyone on any rom :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:

Love the ROM..was a bit disappointed with with the lollipop Roms so went back to Kitkat. Is 777 kernel that much better still?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mnbrightblade:
If I were to go with a clean flash of this, which rom and gapps should I choose?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
last build was Slimkat-otterx-4.4.4.build.8.10-stable.zip

777Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-282.zip should work fine, unless someone has a better suggestion
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Just a note, the battery leak fix is not in this ROM. It is in the slimlp ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] freechelmi:
Well I have tested both slimpop and slimkat few weeks ago yes I need to update ) and I have too say it way to slow to be used for everyday. IMO CM10 was way omre speedy , do you confirm ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] t3chwizard:
I concur on the CM10 being lightning fast. The only problem is Google drive isn't even supported on 4.2 anymore so I can't use the tablet for what I want to use it for even if CM10 is faster. Kitkat in the Amazon partition mode is pretty fast with Art enabled, right now I'm on the Hellkat ROM, but the thing is there isn't much space so I might have to go back to OtterX after all even if it is slower.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] supy99:
So I just flashed this rom as well as the 777 kernel on my kindle fire otterx but I want to overclock it. But when I go to setcpu the highest is 1200, which was there before and I can't increase voltage? Can someone explain how to oc?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:
1200 MHz is the maximum frequency for a TI OMAP 4430 CPU and I've never known the CPU voltage to be tweakable with this device....someone please correct me if I'm wrong
[Kindle Fire Android Development] supy99:
so there is no need to change voltage even if i increase to 1.2?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guitarman:


The voltage wouldn't be changeable regardless

I've just ordered a kindle fire 7 (5th generation). I'm not seeing a lot of references to this in terms of cyanogenmod, slimkat etc. Are the earlier models more desirable from a hobbyist point of view? Is there some technical reason for this?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] t3chwizard:
[MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION], the 5th Gen is $35 online. You should see if u can pick one up. Also your build of SlimMarsh works really well on the OtterX.

I never did. In fact I've never been able to get the Linaro GCC to work. There's probably something I'm missing. I've mostly been focusing on older builds lately because they're so much smoother. You can follow what's been done in the Random Builds thread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] abikerider:
Just wanted to enter my experience with slimkat and slimpop. I liked slimkat except for the battery leak problem and not too smooth video playback. Once I switched to slimpop the battery issue went away but it took me a few tries to find a gapps that worked for me. I finally ended up with open gapps nano version which gives me enough free memory and is smooth. I'm happy with that combo.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I am not sure which gapps I used but after a few days with slimpop I experienced lag which got progressively worse eventually requiring a reboot. Have you experienced this behavior?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] abikerider:
I used this file: open_gapps-arm-5.0-nano-20160204

It has only been a day since I loaded it so, I guess I will have to update in a few days as to whether it gets slower.

Help with camera problem?

Hi, this has probably been asked before but I've searched and can't find an answer, I have an Amazon fire phone which I have rooted and installed slimkat 4.4.4, i love it, but there's an issue with Snapchat and other similar apps that use the camera and I just wondered if there was any information or help anybody could give me to try and solve the problem at all? Or is this a problem that isn't going to go away? Thanks in advance ?

Well just to actually answer your question, you are in the wrong forum. In the OP of the CM11 rom for the Fire Phone, it says that the camera in other apps is not working.

Have a look for yourself http://xdaforums.com/fire-phone/development/rom-cm-11-20150706-unofficial-t3151443

You pointed him to the Fire tablets, which is probably what caused the confusion.

does Slimkat-otterx-4.4.4.build.8.10-stable.zip still have a battery leak?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mikeataol:
I happened to install this yesterday...(Slimkat-otterx-4.4.4.build.8.10-stable), runs great, my only testing of battery so far didn't go so well.

I unplugged and turned screen off, after 90 minutes away I couldn't get screen to turn back on, unit was locked up with a black screen. plugging in, no button press woke it up.

I hard rebooted, and it had lost 9% after 90 minutes

I have changed the wifi scanning and sleep settings and can report back tomorrow....

---------

changing wifi advanced settings to

Keep Wifi on during sleep: Only when plugged in

and

(Google) Scanning Always available: to Off

seems to have helped some.

in 10 hours sitting idle, it came right back with a button press, and lost 9% over 10 hours instead of in only 90 minutes
[Kindle Fire Android Development] NightCrayon:
Nice! Will try this rom out :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 3ch01c:
Thanks for a great ROM. It's running very smooth. I can't seem to update apps provided by Slim apps package through Play store. I've also tried Open Gapps, which seemed to work fine, but I couldn't get video to work in any app (YouTube, Netflix, MX Player). Is there a way to update those apps or an updated Slim apps package?

I'm using Slimkat 8.8 with Slim apps for 8+ as linked in the OP. I've tried different combinations of Slimkat ROM, Slim apps, and Open Gapps, but Slimkat 8.8 & Slim apps 8 seem to be the best setuip so far if I could just update them...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 3ch01c:
For apps like Hangouts, I uninstalled with Slimsizer then installed from Google Play Store. For apps like Google Play Services which can't be uninstalled that way, I identified the version number Google Play Store wanted, then downloaded it from apkmirror.com. (For me, it was v10.0.84 apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-10-0-84-release/google-play-services-10-0-84-836-137749526-android-apk-download/.)

The updated Play services occasionally crashes, but it's more tolerable than not being able to use the apps that required the updated version.

I notice the following errors in logcat when trying to load Netflix and thought it might be relevant as to why Netflix isn't loading. Anyone have any thoughts?

E/MediaPlayerFactory( 2957): calling dlopen on FACTORY_LIB
E/MediaPlayerFactory( 2957): Failed to open FACTORY_LIB Error : dlopen failed: library "libdashplayer.so" not found

UPDATE: Installed libdashplayer.so found at github.com/kholia/PIE-stuff/blob/master/KitKat/lib/libdashplayer.so. Now getting error about being unable to find DRM plugin. My guess is Netflix requires a Widevine plugin that's not available. Been trying to find it with no luck.

I am not even sure Netflix will run well enough for you to be able to not have to pull your hair out from frustration on this device at this point. I could be mistaken though, haven't used this device in a while.

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 AM ----------

Again you have to take into consideration the age of this device and the limited specs it has. It might just not be reasonable to try and do this on the OtterX at this point.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] NightCrayon:
I recommend running cyanogenmod 11 (snapshot m12) with pico Gapps, I am having no problems with any video streaming services and Gapps is working great. Kodi, crackle, Netflix, YouTube they all work great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 3ch01c:
Thanks for the advice. I'm able to use Kindle, Play Books, native video player, and YouTube. If I could get it to run Netflix, I'd be content. I'll try CM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] NightCrayon:
Make a backup of your current build using FlashFire, copy it to your SD card just in case you aren't satisfied with CM, you can just easily restore to your current build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 3ch01c:
It does lag a bit when first loading apps, but otherwise seems to perform well enough once loaded. I think the Netflix issue is just a missing library (or twelve), and if I figure that out, I'll be happy with the device. Also, it's been a good learning experience. :)

I would install full TWRP and make a backup using that, however if this is just to be prepared for any issues would arise while doing such a thing it would make sense to backup using flashfire first.

Otter and OtterX use a different partition scheme and a different 2nd bootloader .

Triangle/Circle/Square SystemUI.APK

I replaced the back,home,menu, and recent images in SystemUI.APK. I updated the drawable-mdp, drawable-hdpi, drawable-xhdpi, and drawable-xxhdpi files. I did not touch the ldrtl images.

I tried just changes the images in settings, but they were getting stretched (I probably didn't have them at the right sizes when I tried) and it also didn't change the back_ime arrow. So I went this route instead.

Please find the SystemUI.APK attached and enjoy.

I also attached the image files to this post.

Looks like the menu image change didn't take effect. I didn't replace ic_sysbar_menu_big.png I'm guessing that's why.

Changing Browser "default page" setting?

Hey, just wanted to thank all those involved in the past for this SlimKat project -- just installed it on an old 1st generation Amazon Kindle Fire and trying to work out the kinks.

I noticed that the "Default page" setting in the Browser app (Browser > Settings > General > Set homage) always defaults to a link to slimroms.net. I realize you can change the "Set homepage" setting to Current page, Other, etc, but I was wondering if there was a way to remove this setting in the Browser app? The slimroms.net url is no longer active, and isn't really useful to have in the Browser as a setting.

Where is this "Default page" setting located in the SlimKat ROM and can it be changed/removed?

Appreciate any help/info.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manbot27:
In need of a new phone badly and had a few questions. I know the g3 will be announced if not launched soon, any guesses on whether the price of the g2 will drop significantly in the near future(next week) if the g3 is announced.

Also what model is the best to get(in terms of custom rom support or ease of rooting) world variant or the At&t one. Last question does anyone know of a good place to buy, either brick and mortar store(in NYC) or online who would ship in a couple days. The prices I've seen are varying and not sure how much I should be paying for a new g2.
[General Accessories] Parinibbana:
I got a Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard (K810), English keyboard layout, which I would like to use with my Android smartphone (LG G2). The pairing of the devices works fine, but I can't get it to display German language characters such as ö, ü, ä etc..

Those characters, however, work fine when I use the keyboard with a Windows-PC, after having changed the keyboard-language-settings in the OS.

Is there a way to do the same thing on Android?

In fact I would need to be able to toggle between the two languages (Eng & German), since I prefer to use the English-keyboard-layout when writing in English and the German one when writing in German. That's easy on Windows, just press the Windows-key together with Space, but how to do on Android?

Any idea how that could be accomplished? If toggle is not possible, then I would prefer to permanently change the keyboard input language on my LG G2 to German.
[General Accessories] andruser:
I had a similar problem. Updated my LG G2 to Android 5.0 but no help. I cannot find "Android keyboard" setting. I did find that on one of my tablets, and that one worked.

I installed External Keyboard Helper Demo (then Pro: 2.49 euros). It helped. Even then I had to select

Settings > Language and Input > Default (sp?) > External Keyboard Helper Pro (or Demo)

It is not enough to select EKH elsewhere, I had to be select EKH as the Default too before äö started to work.

How to get that "Android keyboard" option (not just "LG keyboard") without EKH?
[General Accessories] Parinibbana:
Yes, I also got it working after I installed the full version.

However, I don´t fully understand your question from above. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[General Accessories] andruser:
External keyboard layout without EKH application

If I have EKH keyboard as the default, I have to select LG keyboard as the default (which takes some time) to be able to use the phone without the external keyboard. Therefore, EKH does not seem to be very useful (it is almost worse than not having an external keyboard).

So I wish that when the external keyboard is not connected, the internal (virtual) keyboard should be usable (without that tedious manual selection). How to achieve that?

I believe that my external keyboard should work automatically and without EKH. Some other devices do find and use correctly my keyboard. They have the option "Android keyboard" besides "LG keyboard". I don't see the "Android keyboard" option anywhere.
[General Accessories] Parinibbana:
Have you been able to pair your Logitech-keyboard with your phone using bluetooth?
[General Accessories] Parinibbana:
If yes, you could simply set the normal keyboard at default and activate the Logitech-keyboard only when you need. This can be done easily by first activating the soft-keyboard by clicking into the text-filed. This will open the soft-keyboard. Then pull down the notification-bar and click on "Select keyboard" in order to change to the Logitech keyboard.

It is correct, it works also without External Keyboard Helper.
