That comes from twapriv's flashable.zip for 4.4.2 roms
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Would the several references to 4.4.2 included in that need to be changed before applying?

Mmm not sure he has a cm 10 version in his op too. Maybe check in that and see what the differences are between his cm10 and cm11 ones. Then make an educated guess ?. I don't mind testing tomorrow. Also if we get the nexus7 hack working I can make a flashable .zip. I made one for my slimkat build but I can't remember what I did. I will check to see if I still have it. Sec

I dont know what you said video is not working but in hashcode alpha build i have Youtube App working perfect, even in the chrome browser i saw a video yesterday... so Whats Up ? // I wanna use this ROM because its seems better than hashcode...

(Sorry for my bad english)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
hash has cm base.

slimpop is based off aosp and we are having codec issues with it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
13 % battery left, not charging, any permanent way to fix this port?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] GIL0802:
Sweet, i will flash Slimpop tonight.

new build is up see OP for Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8-V0.4

doesn't include smartass.

flashable kernel coming later :)

enjoy steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
guys i have had a change of plan. you might want to wait for the next build. I'm going to include smartass in the rom as when i build the kernel and modules separate i cant seem to get the modules to overwrite the original ones. it will take a couple of hours to build then i need koops approval before posting.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Italico:
You, and all the other developers who helps, are THE BEST. And yes, I am shouting it to everybody!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

i have just dl twrp 2.8.2.0 and i can confirm that mount and adb works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
koop has something for you guys :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Alpha 0.8 Is Available

Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473400289

What is fixed: YouTube is working, SmartAssV2 is built-in. (Note- you must enable in Trickster Mod) CORRECTION- SmartAssV2 is enabled by default.

What isn't working: Netflix needs further testing.

Installation - I have no fear, so I dirty flashed! Everything seems to be working, but your mileage may vary.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Thanks for the update! :):D

Should I use the GApps in the OP?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yes use the op gapps as we know they work ok, im working on a new gapps package but they may not be ready for a week or so.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Does this build make the kindle think it is a Nexus 7?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
No, that would be a different file.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
no, i will never do this but will try and get a flashable.zip made for it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
although the kindle thinks its a nexus already :) (what you meant is "does the playstore think its a nexus7) :) .

Edit: right im defo going to bed now. lol

sugerlumps its 2.05am i will not feel like work tomorrow :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok just found out that the blacked out lockscreen and the black recents is a low ram feature. if you edit build.prop to lowram device =false instead of true then the blackness has gone. but this has an effect on performance because it also keeps more apps running in the background. so im keeping it as lowram =true. if you want to change it yourself just edit the build.prop in /system/ and reboot. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Use a proper build prop editor or you'll end up corrupting it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Couldn't you just put on the battery saver feature to make sure some apps don't run in the background? To my understanding, the battery saver also makes the device perform better. Can anyone confirm this?:confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
The latest build is as good as the last KitKat build performance wise. Very peppy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
Since Netflix is a no-go, I assume Plex is as well. Can anyone confirm?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Hi.

Latest beta mini gapps package (x-416) from Danko, booting and working good here.

I keep getting errors trying to flash Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8-V0.5 something about "error executing updater binary in zip" as shown in pic :( .

Dirty flashed the latest and running very smooth.. In case anyone uses a lock screen PIN you may see that the numbers are jumbled up. There is nothing wrong with the ROM, the SlimTeam sneaked in an option in settings>security to do this. Well played SlimTeam, well played indeed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Anyone still on otter? I made aosp, working good, no WiFi though. Built from friends laptop. No audio, no video. Everything else fine.

Converted back to KK, no WiFi no life:p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobJayJr:
Also continuing problems with Google Calendar not installing and Google Now not showing up in Settings→Home (just Launcher3 and Nova)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
gapps issue it will be sorted soon. [MENTION=5279145]lllukas[/MENTION] doyou have these issues with slim gapps?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
I agree that Google Calendar is still giving the 505 error, but I had no trouble installing both Google Now and Google Launcher and setting Launcher as default. (Is that what you are trying achieve?)

Go to Play and install Google Launcher, try to open it and you will be prompted to update Search. Do that and then open Launcher. You'll be prompted to clear the default launcher (Launcher3) in settings, do that and select Google Launcher as default. You may need to reboot before the last step, but that should do it. Let us know if that solves the problem with the Launcher for you.

As [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] and I work on the GAPPs stuff, we'll hopefully come up with a more elegant fix and also fix the Calendar issue.

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

On another note, the charging issue on Lockscreen seems to be working properly now. Shall I close this issue out?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
I tried this first thing with the new alpha, and it still does not work for me. I cannot install the google launcher, it is not an option for the default launcher. I only see Launcher3 and Nova.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Have you downloaded it from Play and updated Search?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
And sometimes a reboot is needed
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
Yes, I did exactly that.

I did reboot the tablet, but now I'm not sure I retried again after the reboot. I will try that when I get home and let you know.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yes and the black lockscreen and black recents. there not bugs its to save ram
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
^^^^^^^ answer to koops question ^^^^^^^^
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
as for g launcher. i also had these problems. its a weird issue, under some condition it works as koop says but other conditions it doesn't. we need to experiment and find out whats going on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Unfortunately idk, because i don't use Google's calendar on kindle, but i check this for You guys.

Also You could try newest google play services from here:

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google.../google-play-services-6-5-96-1630522-438-apk/

And latest google play store:

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-5-1-11-apk/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
I was finally able to get google launcher to work. But as you said, it's a WEIRD issue. As I said, I'd try again after a reboot. That didn't work. So I gave up for now and was doing a few things and about 5 minutes later tried again and this time the google launcher showed up as an available launcher to select as default. I didn't do anything that I know of, but it suddenly showed up as available.

I have no idea what changed, it seemed random. It's working now, but it's pretty laggy. And the home screen shows a small slice of an icon from a screen to its right. Very strange.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Bear in mind that these are temporary solutions at this time. [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] and I have an idea about GAPPs that we'll pursue after we deal with the open ROM issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
Oh yeah, I totally understand. I get that these are alpha releases and I'm not complaining at all, just giving you some data in case it helps understand the problems. Thanks so much for all the work you guys do!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Woo hoooo!!!!!

You guys rock! ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Just got back around my computer and tried again with a new zip checked the MD5 and it matches the one in OP and it still does the same E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Slim Rom OtterX 5.0/Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8-v05'

Not sure if my kindle is about to crap out or whats going on as I can do a full wipe and go back to Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.7 with no issues at all very odd guess I'll stick with that till next update.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
strange. new build hopefully tomorrow. it will be worth waiting for. you are the 1st to report an error like that. lets see what tomorrow brings.

edit: had 128 downloads so far.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Yes it is very strange as both the Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8 v4 and v5 both do this to me. Well I guess I'll be charged and ready :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Edit: ok I did a factory reset before flashing the update and I think that messed something up...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
Installed the newest alpha after I figured out how to install the newest twrp...

Running better than ever for me. Thanks for the excellent work lovejoy!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
I doubt this will make you feel any better, but I have the same situation: 5.0.1.a.0.8 (v.4 & v.5) can't be installed with the same error.

Tried different downloads, verified checksums, different twrps (2.7.1 & 2.8.2) - no success. Didn't have much time to research it further so went back to a previous version.

Steve&Koop, don't bother with that. I will patiently wait for another release.

I comfirm, error 505 something :) while installing google calendar from playstore. (On dankoman's gapps)

If someone want google calendar, could instal it from this site:

Notes on Installation

As everyone knows, I am doing the pre-release testing. (One might say that I am the "install-beatch"...or maybe not. GRIN)

Let me offer some suggestions that seem to work for me:

1) If at all possible, and I realize that this isn't available to everyone, download to PC, not directly to the Kindle. Not always an option, but if you can, that seems to work best.

2) Always check MD5.

3) Transfer files to Kindle and be sure that transfer is complete. Sounds silly to say, but...it can save you a lot of headaches.

4) Be sure that your version of TWRP is up-to-date. And, of course, correct version for OtterX.

5) You are welcome to try dirty flashing, but if something borks, try the next step.

6) For a clean flash (recommended) don't just do a factory reset. Start there, but after that completes go to the Advanced Wipe menu and wipe everything EXCEPT INTERNAL STORAGE. Tick Dalvik Cache, Data, Cache and System.

7) Then flash the ROM and GAPPs (see my note below) and let that complete.

8) Expect that first boot will take a long time, long enough for you to worry. Just sit back and relax.

9) I let Google restore my apps, but if anything seems off with a particular app, uninstall and re-install.

That seems to be working for me.

Regarding GAPPs, for those having a problem with Google Calendar and Launcher, you may want to try PA GAPPs. Only the Micro Modular package is currently available for Lollipop, but that may resolve your issues.

http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

Cheers and happy flashing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
I tried all this and even went as far as wiping internal storage and I still get the same errors I posted also can't get any lollipop backups to install says failed. But if I go back to v7 of this Rom no issues at all very strange.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
This version is now great for me as opposed to the first few which were very slow.

What do you mean (Note- you must enable in Trickster Mod). I install Trickster and can see that smartassV2 is set without me making any adjustments to Trickster. Is there something else I should be doing?

Thanks for all of the great work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
What I said about Tricketer Mod... that was wrong. You are correct. The only thing that you might want to try in Trickster is overclocking. Works for some of us, not others.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
OK thanks Koop.

Any suggestions for overclocking? What values to try?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
there is only 1 more setting above stock and thats 120000
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
You can also try I/O Control Read Ahead set to 256 and that (I/O Control) scheduler set to deadline. [MENTION=4975132]sabres032[/MENTION] reported that this helps him.

And of course animation values set to .25.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
It did indeed but when I attempted to overclock my device laughed at me and threw me the finger.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobJayJr:
[MENTION=3816775]koop1955[/MENTION] said

Followed above procedure. I don't get prompted for a Search update. I do get prompted to clear defaults in Launcher3 but there is no graceful exit back to Applications from that point (i.e.; a left arrow in upper right corner of the screen). I've tried both rebooting and the arrow on the navigation bar to proceed from that point but neither result in a prompt to select Google launcher.

I've been able to install the Google Launcher w/o trouble on other ROMs. I guess I'll wait for you and Steve to work your magic on the new gapps package. I also want to echo your comment re: SlimPop being a remarkably stable alpha especially when you consider how quickly it has progressed to this point - an amazing accomplishment. I'm still waiting for even a mention of an LP ROM being developed for my 8.9" HD. Thanks guys.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
I get this error too. I've verified the md5 checksum. I'm on TWRP 2.8.2.0. That's the latest in the TWRP thread, but I'm not sure if it's the version folks are having success with.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
We are working on GAPPs now, but while you wait, feel free to use the PA GAPPs from here: http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

You'd probably want to do a clean install if you go that route.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

That is the right one and you are doing advanced wipe as per my earlier post? Sorry for the troubles, [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] and I will try to figure it out. (May require Hashcode's input.)

Have you had success with earlier builds?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
sorry guys obviously there seems to be something random happening on some of my latest builds. koop and i are working to resolve the issues and we are also working on a new gapps package which should make app issues a thing of the past. please bare with us as we try to sort everything. my main problem is as i get things sorted more features and commits are being added daily to our slim source and kindle repos which sometimes conflict with our fixes. hence the Alpha title. cheers Steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
[MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3816775]koop1955[/MENTION] just throwing this out there as an idea. Is it possible to modify the slim gapps to just include the Google Play Store and Google Play Services and leave out all the other apps? I mean all the other Google and user downloaded apps are already in the store. Once a user signs in any app that was downloaded to the device will be in Play Store>My apps>all tab anyway.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lifegap:
Thanks. The alpha v5 is smooth. However, I could not find the stock app File Manager and had to get it through the Play store. One more thing is the volume in the notification center. We all know our beloved KF1 do not have volume buttons, so the volume in the notification center can help to adjust volume, especially KF1 sound output is too strong for any in ear earphone. But I could not find the way to add volume to the notification center.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
There are several apps that will do that for you. I think that this is the most popular: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.njsoftware.volumechanger&hl=en

But again there are several on the Play store to choose from.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
I has the same issue with twrp myself. I tried like 2000000 different things to get adb to work but nothing worked.... And this was after I wiped everything for a clean flash. I had to flash back to twrp 2.7.1 like you to get things working again. I think it had something to do with the new adb being more secure. I was getting "device unauthorized" when I did adb devices on my Mac.

Glad to hear you got it working!

Edit: if I remember correctly, you can edit a setting in init.rc to disable secure adb which disallows adb on untrusted devices. Since twrp can't ask if you trust the computer, it leaves you stuck without adb in recovery.
