Stupid question, this is the same as what you've already released correct?

Sent from my Amazon OtterX
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
cool [MENTION=365798]Sabre[/MENTION]s everything running smooth on 8+. i would like you to test my new theory of installing tweaks etc. ill be on tomorrow. its 1.30am here so I'm off to bed now. what time you free tomorrow, (how many hours from now?). lol. I'm on in about 15 hours then again a bit later:) took a bit of messing about to get google now launcher working, you have to dl it then open it, when it says to make it default just delete the app and redownload it, it seems to work after its updated google services then been deleted and reinstalled? strange google..... cheers steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yes if you have flashed slimrom 8.1 with 777kernel-b7 then flashed 777kernel-b8+. :). i just thought it nice to release an extra rom and kernel combo (all built together with linaro 4.9) :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Flashed the last one. Smartassv2 governor is set by default. Everything looks just great! Flying like a bee. Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
just so you know. there's no stupid questions in this thread, better to be safe than sorry?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I'll be on again and off again throughout the day tomorrow. All I really have to take care of is some house work and mowing the lawn. I'll give 8.1 a clean install in the morning and then hit you up for the tweeks. Figure about 0800 or 0900 east coast, USA time?? Figure about then it will be 1300 or 1400 in England.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
Downloading the latest builds, going to do a wipe and reinstall and see how things go,I think I have too much crap installed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JimDandy68:
Chrome has crashed on every install I've done, including just now with the 8.1+ build and Slim full gapps for build 8. This is after a clean install.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
Yeah, that's been a problem with all the linaro(spelling?) builds I believe. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
is it just linaro? otterx & otter roms?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobJayJr:
RE: please let me know if smartass was set

CPU Governor Control was set to smartassV2. Another nice job - the best yet. Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I'm going to take some time tonight on the chrome issue. [MENTION=4975132]sabres032[/MENTION] you about to test my scripts?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
OK so my projects are finally done fire the moment. I'm about to clean flash the SlimKat v8.1 with the b8+ kernel and the Slimroms gapps mini 8x. Are you asking me to attempt the GEL launcher install of just use the Nova launcher?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
go for gel :). what do you normally use?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I was using the default Nova Launcher. Just did the clean install, give me a few to try the GEL

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

Where do I download the Google Launcher?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] redbean25:
Is this all leading to a uber stable, fast release? I don't have time for testing right now, but am interested in the final result.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Sure. Send me the information in a PM. I have to run to the computer store and get a new wireless antenna for my computer. When I get back I'll be up for some testing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Hi. You could download slim normal gapps, then unpack google launcher from zip.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I just might have to flash gapps v8x full. I flashed the mini gapps package and hasd problems signing into my Google account. Once I got in all my paid apps showed as unpaid. I'll figure it out once I return from the store.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
google now launcher on the play store
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yep i had the same. must wipe factory reset and advanced wipe system & caches. then flash rom and build 8 mini gapps. also when you dl google now launcher it needs to update google services. then it asks you to go to settings/apps/nova and clear defaults then press the home button to select gel launcher as default. it just takes you back to nova home screen without giving you the choice to select gel. all you have to do is delete gel launcher then reinstall it again then it lets you. not sure why??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Well at the moment the device is right hacked off. Once I get home I'll see if I can redownload the ROM and gapps, factory reset, wipe and reflash.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
lol its the gapps thats fussy. lol its worth it in the end:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
just trying to make my gapps:) putting kids to bed. back soon
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
Not positive, but I think it was the linaro builds on otterx. I think I had the same problem in CM11.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
my gapps work :) ill upload after a quick tweak
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23681161096071528

clean flash these gapps with slimrom 8+
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Gaaaaa. Android File Host is down for maintenance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
???????????????????????
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
I have not been acive lately in testing or otherwise, but got to say the b4 kernel is great. Going too update to 8.1 rom later tonight. Just wanted to drop in and day thanks lovejoy777!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Maybe you should consider using basketbuild as android hosting as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Got Google Launcher installed which by the way also cured the play store paid apps showing as paid. Got it set up and so far things are running great. Now what do I have to do to test your scripts?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
Using Slimsizer I deleted APK's relating to bluetooth, camera and cell broadcast which don't apply on the Otter.

What others are there that can be deleted?

When I look at apps, all there is something related to mobile data which I am sure we also don't need?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
I also deleting email.apk and exchange2.apk, because i using gmail only. Deleting too: music.apk (using NexMusic from playstore), phasebeam.apk, phototable.apk, picoTTS.apk Printspooler.apk, slimfilemanager.apk (using RootExplorer), soundrecorder.apk, telephonyprovider.apk. This is list of apks safe to remove, but not only these. I know there are much more safe to remove apks;)

Regards my friend.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
[MENTION=4975132]sabres032[/MENTION] did you use my gapps?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kev716:
I clean installed slimrom 8.1 & the last gapps version 8 yesterday. I don't see any problems - Play Store still remembers the programs I purchased before. So, any reason to switch to this gapps?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
No. I keep getting this when I click the link.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
I have transparency for the notification drawer and quick settings panel. I don't have it for the nav bar. I am using the real dark slim
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Appears that transparency does not depend on real dark mode at all. You just need to change the background transparency level value (the third one) every time after switching real dark mode to make it effective.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
?? you've lost me. can you get the status bar or nav bar transparent??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Oh no, my fault... I am talking about different things: notification and quick settings. I am really sorry.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
im back? what a 24 hours that was.. havin a look at the code shortly. i think with carlos's help i will be able to sort it. anybody looked into netflix?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
Ok after extensive testing (excluding otter bugs) I have to say I don't know if its otter or this rom but the responsiveness is the best I believe you can ever achieve on the hardware, I am perfectly happy with this rom and otter as is I will never upgrade because there is no improving it only could add bloat with any future updates.Where otter has your entire sd available you don't have to deal with the lack of install space and if you ever do encounter any bugs all you have to do is reboot which with this rom and otter is no problem because it only takes mere seconds to do.Also I have more free RAM at any given time than any other ROM I have ever used.

If you have a kindle and want the best out of it I highly HIGHLY recommend converting to otter and installing this ROM. Thank you for porting this you have done a great job.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
does that mean when hashcode upgrades to bl 2.05 with more free space and i rebuild slimkat to use those parts that you won't be flashing :D lol. thanks for the feedback..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
NEW GAPPS

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
5.2

version 5.2

still trying to get location and navbars sorted.

Link: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491965120
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
just a thought. is it only me with location issues? in maps does it find your location? mine worked for lockscreen weather etc but not maps but now nothing is working. is it my end or rom issue? please someone check?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Same. Weather location is fine but gmaps hangs up on waiting for location. No big deal for me as I don't use my Kindle as a navigation tool.

Edit. I'm still running the 5.1 build with the 5.1 gapps by the way. Been running very solid BTW.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
How much free RAM does this ROM have compared to Hashcode' OtterX CM11?

I'm trying to get Real Racing 3 to work, which it does for a race or two, but then quits to the homescreen. I think the issue is with the little RAM we have.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ill look later im working now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i just tried and had to give it permition? what if you hit advanced? file host must have changed something yesterday
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
It's working now. Should I still flash this package even though the Slim mini gapps is finally working? So far my device is very snappy with a clean install of SlimROM v8.1 and Google Launcher set as home. Screens transition fine, no lag in YouTube, game graphics are fast and the cores seem to be transitioning through it's power cycle just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HobbitCy:
Hi Ixthusban, i know its going back a few pages but ive tried version 8 with b4, b5 and now b8 and got no were near the 5% in 12 hrs of stand by

at best im doing 20% for 24 hrs better than the 1% per hr that i was getting before but i would really like to know which version of the rom and which kernal you were running and anything else you did to get that amazing stand by time : )

Thanks

PS you guys are doing amazing work slim rom is so far the best most stable and fastest to work on , just looking for that amzing stand by time too : )
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
is deepsleep working on 8.1+?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HobbitCy:
yes trickster is showing that i did 20 hrs in deep sleep

and then the on time thats been like 2 hrs was at 300mhz
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
thanks mine isn't, but i have been flashing init.d scripts..i must have borked something.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
any sods anyone on 8.1+ ??

edit. sfter a clean install.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HobbitCy:
to early to tell since its been sitting on my desk to check stand by time

will see tonight when i take it out and about

on other roms would do it when it was in by bag
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Far as I know it is. Haven't let it sit more than an hour since updating. :)

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

No SOD while I let the device sit.

One thing I have noticed is with multiple apps open there is some lag. But I think that is more a memory issue than kernel issue. Once I kill all apps my device is snappy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
mine shows no deepsleep at all and been sat 15 hours. lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
just taking the kids swimming. back in a couple of hours:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Over three hours trickstermod shows 68% deep sleep. 300Mhz at 17%, 600Mhz at 4%, 800Mhz at 2% and 1008 at 6%. Memory usage is holding between 102 to 112 of 401.4 MB. Battery temp is holding between 27-30c. Looks good on my end.

Better battery stats shows a 5.8%/hr draw. But I've been using the device while doing some housework and did a TWRP backup.

The above is still with the Slim mini gapps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
im just going to reflash 8.1+ see if that fixes it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Anything else to test on my end?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
had to do a full clean install again + wipe google services etc, just dling apps. i have a script for you to try. I've tested it my end but would like someone else to test it before i start using for tweaks. just feeding kids then i will crank up my trusty alien :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
there's definitely no chance of dirty flashing build 8 gapps. it just screws with google:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
I suppose, there is a chance. I have followed that recommendations to remove Google account, clear google play app, services and framework data. After that I have wiped system partition only, flashed slimkat 8.1, slim mini gapps 8.x and wiped caches. When system started I had to recreate Google account but everything seems working fine now. At least Gmail and G+.

Maybe I don't see a big problem yet, maybe I am just lucky...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kev716:
Nope
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i forgot to delete the google acount lol. "note to myself" always follow instructions exactly. ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
BTW, deepsleep - 63% and I think this is fine, no SODs so far as well.

Scripts? What else could we expect? =)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
lol just wait? i now have ds?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

Flash these, your gapps or just keep the way my device is set up? As of right now, my device is running fine with the SlimROM 8x gaps and Google Now launcher. Really don't want to clean flash agasin as all my settings are just how I like them.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
no don't touch it. lol. i sent you a pm [MENTION=4975132]sabres032[/MENTION]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] votinh:
So, has the "Chrome crashing" issue been fixed?

I just did fresh clean install 8.1+ build along with mini gapps build 8 and still seeing Chrome FCs.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Yep, got it. Worked like a charm just the way you expected.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

That is a whole nother issue I think is isolated to the OtterrX set up. Chrome is working like a charm on my M8 and DNA.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Chrome is still crashing "successfully"... Every other browser is not. ;)

slimrom8.2 is built :)

777kernel-v1.0 is the 1st stable release.

I've got to still upload & test it all and spend 10 minutes with the wife so will be later on:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
sabres has tested my new script method of changing certain kernel settings at boot and it works (some settings will not work with trickster etc).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
By the way Steve, in my humble opinion 777 kernels b4 and b6 are far much faster than b8+. And I guess it's not my personal feeling only - TM CPU freq distribution stats are showing much better results when using those two kernel versions.

I suppose you have tried to improve the battery usage in b8 and most probably you have achieved that, but it's really due to a meaningful performance decrease.

Perhaps you are right, it must be the balance between power consumption and performance. I prefer performance but others might think differently. OK then, take it as my considerations only...

You are doing really great job, Steve. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Glad I could help, it's the least I can do to support your hard work. Maybe some day when life doesn't eat into my finances I'll send some cash your way so you can enjoy your favorite beverage.. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok [MENTION=5012676]kvestas[/MENTION], you are right. maybe a happy medium is needed :). b8+ is how smartassV2 should be (i think). so this will be a base to work from. my new scripts can play with the settings:). so just for you i will try something somewhere in between with a script. give me an hour to keep her sweet;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i might make an app so it loads scripts and lets you delete them from your desktop. then i could make a script for every safe setting and you could all play to see if we could find a perfect setup. it could take a week or two though as I'm learning:) what do you guys think?

Oh yes, and not having any deep sleeping on the latest release.?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

Better app for this perhaps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.broodplank.initdtoggler&hl=en

Not sure that would work, but there are several similar apps.

In response to your question as to where I have been....New York City last week and today was my birthday. Thinking how lucky I am! I work as the Director of Business Development for Night Dive Studios, a company that restores classic games for Steam, Good Old Games, Humble Bundle, etc. I get to go to New York, San Francisco, L.A., sometimes Europe, to meet with friends at the big game companies. Luckiest guy in the world.

I haven't had time to do a clean install yet, but I hope to get caught up this weekend.
