Oh you know, doing the work, fire department and life thing. Started a new hobby brewing beer. First batch was good albeit a standard light beer. Second batch with some extra malt extract and hop flavor is fermenting now, should be complete by Sunday. Then I bottle and condition for a month before it's ready to drink. Hopefully my third batch, a hopped up IPA will be brewed and fermenting a couple weeks after that. At some point I'm going to have to invest is a bench capper and bottle caps to keep up with my inventory.

Before I invest in my beer hobby I need to purchase a membership to the local gun range, buy some 9mm ammunition and new holster for my pistol. Been a while since I've had some recoil therapy so I have to satisfy that urge first. Trigger finger is getting itchy if you know what I mean.

Other than that I'm having a bear of a time updating my N7 Wi-Fi to 5.1.0, Google's script keeps failing at writing the boot image but I may have figured out why. Going to restore my nandroid and try again with the fix I found. Wish me luck.

last night I re flash slimpop on kf, seems faster than the last time I tried... I dunno what caused the lag before.. I tried AICP with same problem, before go back to slimkat... what I didnt do before is deleting the trickster folder.. is it really what caused the bad performance before?

slimkat is still more stable though... considering I didnt overclock on slimkat, but slimpop is overclocked by default.

I use Twillight, and it keep crashing when I stream movie with mxplayer.

for those who get equal performance on slimpop (or even better), did u guys flash anything else beside rom and gapps (i am using minimal gapps)

thanks

Not rom related but I saw some new slim rom inspired wallpapers for anyone interested.

Tried this but just get an error message: Synergy not installed :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Has it created an /sdcard/Overlays/ directory on your sdcsrd?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hedied4me:
Playing around today with my Kindle on latest slimpop. lovejoy you have done a great job keeping our kindle relevant. I'm amazed our simple device runs the latest google has offered so well. Its not necessarily the fastest device but it runs really smooth for me. Just want to say thank you again for all your hard work. Im looking forward to what else we may see in the future.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kev716:
Sorry, that should be app not installed. And no, I don't see that folder.

I'm a little confused, I installed your Layers program, so should I even be using the Synergy installer or should I download a zip file and use Layers to install it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kev716:
I ended up installing the candy apple theme using your Layers app. I like the look, but when I do a search in the play store the font is white on a white background :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Some themes are not as polishef as they should be. To rectify just remove the offending layer with the app. Ie remove the "playstore layer". Im sure as themers get to know every resource path there themes will get better. Its not a general layers fault, just a theme fault. (Dont forget the themes are all made by different people and not the BitSyko Team.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Yes you need the layers manager app. The theme apk's are just a way for themers to put there themes on the playstore. We are completley rewriting the layers wrapper code atm. Basically all the theme app does is puts the theme.zip on your sdcard in /sdcard/Overlays folder then opens the manager app for you to install it. The wording on the botton etc is missleading when it says "install". For that i apologise, its all my fault :) lol. I will change that.

I found some device flags for low-ram devices. They seem to make the whole system a lot faster and there is transparency.:)

I am still privately testing them ATM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Thanks, [MENTION=4630246]joshuabg[/MENTION]. If you need another tester let me know via Hangouts.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
I can help test if you want more eyes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mclad:
Is it from the AOSP project low RAM page quote: "Android now supports devices with 512MB of RAM. This documentation is intended to help OEMs optimize and configure Android 4.4 for low-memory devices. Several of these optimizations are generic enough that they can be applied to previous releases as well."

I have always just kinda presumed this stuff would have already been implemented for the Kindle with Android 4.4. e.g. that PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES += ro.config.low_ram=true set in the makefile at build... and the other tweaks mentioned... but I never bothered to check... is it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
let me put you guys in the picture. from now on i wont be working on slimpop. But the good news is 2 friends and I are working on a new rom, we are starting with aosp we will support 3 devices, the nexus 5 & 6 + the kindle :), its going to take a little while for me/us to get it going on the kindle so please be patient :) once we get it to a good working base i will start a new thread. and also on a sise note i have just been made recognised developer :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
another side note. you guys nearly lost me this morning. before going to bed last night i stupidly placed my kindle on the hob of our cooker, and my mrs cooked the kids breakfast by placing the frying pan ontop of it then igniting the gas before going to the fridge, only after a minute did she realise the flame looked a little weird, when she lifted off the pan ??? she found one very burnt and very hot kindle. ??? fortunately after she put it out and let it cool it seems to have just melted the back cover.

Oh my. The device still works???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Wow glad all is well bro...and that kindle is still alive!

Truly a decent product all these years later if the device still works after that. Not to mention still running googles latest os (for me at least)

Since PA GAPPs will not be supported, as an alternative you might try this:

DRM

Just checking. Do you think that Netflix and playmovies will ever be operational on the slimpop build. It is one of the best roms that I have ever ran on the old kindle but giving it to m 5yr. old and didn't know if I would need to downgrade to slimkat for those. It is kinda a deal breaker for her.

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
not sure as I haven't kept up to date with Hashcodes commits, I'm just trying to resolve errors as I type. let's wait and see :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I've just pulled in all the new stuff by Hashcode.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mclad:
Nice work! Any consideration for making the ROM all-f2fs in the future? Reportedly noticeable performance improvement e.g. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694201
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
I would love to see this, but down the road. First, a workable build based on the new ROM framework. Which will need to be tested with the Minimal GAPPs I am thinking. With Hashcode's updates for DRM if possible, but that might be a downstream feature. Then we can look at all F2FS. Which is going to require a modified TWRP build before it can be implemented.

Let us take one thing at a time.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mclad:
Oh yes, f2fs way down the road, no rush, but its nice to hear it's been thought about! :) I tried implementing f2fs on slimpop quite some time ago using KT kernel (which supports f2fs) and a TWRP with f2fs support and it was dismal failure, ended up needing to run the emmc fix to get out of almost-fully-bricked state... I am no dev just a hack I'll wait for the professionals this time :)

GApps - I changed from PA Gapps to Bank's Minimal Gapps on my last kindle & phone flashing about 3 weeks ago, no problems at all. And Bank's now updated to 5.1 see http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps

By the way - how many people use DRM? Just curious. All my device listening is podcasts (the Best)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I'll throw my hat in for testing if needed.

anyone tried the new rom on n5?? feedback??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I downloaded it and the gapps package yesterday. I am planning to give them a try after breakfast this morning. I will let you know later today.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I tried it out for about 30 minutes yesterday. Not enough time to do serious testing. It booted to setup in under 5 minutes. I like your choice of boot animations. Setup was smooth and restored my apps and WiFi connections. For the time I was able to use it it seemed very smooth with no issues at all.

The problem I has that made me go back to Slimkat was with the device policy app. Google had broken it on 5.0 and unfortunately I have to use it four work so I has to end my testing there.

I look forward to using the Otterx ROM when/if it is ready.

Thanks four all you do.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sykomaniac:
I tried this ROM out and its really nice :) Couple of light tweaks and it would be perfect (I'm thinking rastapop style submenu for options as I hate searching around settings menus for the right options). Plus a couple of other minor things like volume rocker wake & quick pull-down.

Oh and updated AOSP base :)

Update About Lovejoy

Our friend and developer, [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION], had a rather nasty accident at work today. He is "okay" in that he is alive (yes, it was that BAD an accident!) but pretty far from well. Madman that he is, he said he will try to keep working on the ROM as best he can. His typing is going to be severely limitied, I fear.

Please keep Steve, his wife and family in your thoughts and be patient for any update.

Peace out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rgrever2:
Scary how life can change so fast and unexpectedly. My thoughts are with [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] and your family. Thank you for all you have done! Your updates have brought endless hours of enjoyment for my 4 year old. Stay strong and here's hoping for a full recovery!

Take care,

Ricky
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I hope you are going to be OK Steve. Mend quickly and don't worry about Dev time. That is pretty low on the list right now. You need to be around for you're wife and family. Hopefully working on the new ROM late into the night didn't contribute to this accident. Get well soon!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Bad News, Unfortunately

Steve (lovejoy777) has just had an awful run of luck.

Just as his shoulder has healed, his wife had taken ill. Steve is now spending the bulk of his time dealing with the kids, the house, his wife, etc.

Despite all that, he did try to make an updated build based in 12.1 code, but it failed to build correctly. Not sure when he will be able to address those issues.

He is concerned with supporting the user base (in fact he asked me to be sure to post this update) but just doesn't have a lot of time to focus. One thing that might be possible is an update to SlimKat.

We'll keep you posted.
