Perhaps true. But MM supposed to be better than LP. And it will do good to tease my friends that are using newer phone/tablet but still running kitkat or less :D.

This morning I flash cm12-1, actually, it's quite fast without gapps. Once I install gapps, things got slower, I'm going to use it for several days and see if it's usable, but probably not for everyone. I mainly only use it only for reading.

What's to improve on cm11 Btw? I don't have any issue with it.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

Btw it's nice seeing you guys showing up here. KF forum is too quiet these days. I thought you already use the KF for paperweight. Lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
This is great.. Dialog once more [emoji3] I think I'm going to re-kindle my Kindle!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
androvista and Lovejoy on the KF1 forum? Pure awesomeness. Only thing that'd be more amazing is if Hashcode dropped by :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Lol. Hashcode is busy working on the next big thing :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I thought i'd drop in. But my kindle is dead, #chargingportmenace

I had it fixed but it broke again. Lol.

Plus I barely have time to log on nowadays, got exams coming up and loads to study :'(

BTW ppl have you seen difference between 2015 and 2011?

Lighter tablet

Better OS

Much much much better processor

double the ram

sd card slot

cams

for 1/4 price. damn.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Exact same problem for me, I tried soldering but the pins broke off, so I just recycled it. The 2015 is soooo much better (I am typing on it right now.)

[MENTION=2884140]lovejp[/MENTION]y777, I'm glad to read that things are good. Are you trying Slim or something else?

[MENTION=4630246]Hashbang173[/MENTION], Where did you get the device tree? Did you just use the LP tree and modify a few things? I tried that and after enough hacking, the build environment finally stopped complaining.

When it comes to building, I've been getting a lot of 'undefined reference to ...' errors. Upon grepping the entire source tree, I've found that those defines/variables really are undefined. Perhaps my source tree isn't up to date.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
You need to include string.h now in a lot of the device tree cpp files.

ok im just starting source is dl now. I'm behind but I'll hopefully catch up :), not doing slim. but trying something new. ?, for me it's not about if it's has fast as KK but more of a challenge, plus as dokie stated it should be better than Lp. and thanks for the warm welcome back guys.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Steve!!!!! You've come back. :thumbup

Saweeeeeet!!???

I'm still here. Since I moved on to the N7 WiFi and N6 I gave my wife my old OG KF. Now she is saying it's getting long in the tooth and is not working as expected but, she won't let me "play" with it. She says she hates having to set it up after. So, to get her off my back I just bought her the new kindle fire for her birthday. If y'all can wait until December the OG KF will be back in my hands. I can hop on for full testing then.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
FYI. My birthday is coming soon too. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I'd love to get ya something but my family has to many birthdays between now and February. Not to mention Christmas. I'm done tapped out. :eek:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I'm having Internet issues, haven't even got the full source yet. nearly there though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
just a teaser ? got some touch issues to sort still. but it's getting there ??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobJayJr:
Really good to have you back. ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Awesome!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
most of the work has been done by Josh. so a big thanks to him. ??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok touch is fixed but now I lost WiFi. ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
it's getting there. i think I found the problem ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
with a bit of a wifi hack when installing. we now got WiFi.

still plenty to do but things are getting there slowly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
To clarify: wifi was actually fixed with the kernel commits I added, but the way to enable WiFi with a correct MAC is currently a hack. Once we fix the way fix-mac.sh works, everything should be ready to go with permissive selinux.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
gapps still messing me about, I tried removing a couple but that one and another both f/c on gapps. process. i also have an idea on getting a script to work for us on swapping the file. still a hack but until we can work out mounting /system it might do. ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
cant we just use dankoman mm gapps?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :

You know which package to choose ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:

google now launcher

This rom is running amazingly well for an alpha. Thanks!

Has anybody tried to install the google now launcher? When I run it, a dialog says to "go to Settings, touch Clear Defaults, and press the Home button". Sometimes I can clear defaults for Launcher3, sometimes not. And in any case, once I press Home, nothing has changed. No google now launcher.

I'm running alpha 0.2, clean install.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Devildog78965:
Does this support powered otg? Thanks for the rom!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Hmm… weird I still can't dl. Trying from my pc then
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Google now launcher working fine here. I installed it and removed launcher3.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
Did you enable it through the Settings->Clear Defaults->Press Home method, or did you do something else?

google now works fine for me by pressing the home button and swiping up to the round white google circle, but I just can't get the default launcher to switch to the google now launcher. I've set it up on many other devices (running kitkat or below), so I'm not sure why I'm having trouble here! Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
When I installed it I pressed the circle button / home button it gave me a choice of the 2 launchers I picked Google home and a popup with just once or always came up I pressed always and now it's the default launcher.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
Yep, that's what I tried first, that's the regular way to enable it. Hmm, I just never did get that choice, that's odd. Well, I'll try again with alpha 3 when it comes out!

On a possibly related note, I can't install google calendar. It downloads and starts installing and then pops up an error dialog: Unknown error code during application install "-505"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Ok ? I just had to use another browser. Dl works fine. Thanks all!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i have the same issue with swapping to google launcher but as previously mentioned the fix is. remove launcher 3 (but make sure you have another launcher installed first). i thought the charger text on lockscreen bug was fixed. [MENTION=3816775]koop1955[/MENTION] can you amend my comment in the bugs section as im not at my pc.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Done.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I use nova launcher, it seems very snappy
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
I can verify this error, but it is nor related to the launcher. At least it doesn't seem to be.

Try this: grab the Calendar APK from here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-calendar-complete-overhaul/ and try installing it that way. That seems to work for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
Can you flash V0.2 without first flashing 0.1? (coming from Slim 4.4.4 build 8.10) with 5.0 gapps of course...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
You do not need the fist alpha installed in order to use the second.

I tried two different versions of GAPPs, neither worked. Initially used the 6.0 Pico from Open GAPPs. Went badly.

Tried the Super Mini Marshmallow Gapps from here: http://androiding.how/android-6-0-marshmallow-gapps/

That went better but hung at Setup Wizard has stopped.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
First off, thanks to [MENTION=994299]dokie80[/MENTION] for your efforts. This seems to be the best of the GAPPs that I have tried so far, but....

I get "Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped" which prevents me from going very far.

That was with the latest version, i may try some earlier versions and see where it goes.

Again, thanks for trying.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] leswgnr:
Gapps

I don't know that this will help here, but in installing alpha version of marshmallow on my nook hd+ and recent opengapps, various errors in setup, keyboard, play, etc would occur even tho' everything was wiped. Only after formatting /data also, would it be able to get past these issues. Might help here also. The open gapps also had to be from the last week or so.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
I got aosp error on 10.2 with cm's gapps. I don't think it's gapps fault. Try using other keyboard. I've been using multiling O keyboard for Alt. Works better than aosp keyboard I think

Edit. Sorry got mixed up with other thread :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
[MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] is working on a new build. We'll see where that goes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok we have slim built and working, still a few bugs but in my opinion it's faster than Lp roms. im just trying to fix a few things, then I'll release alpha build ??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
This is the 1st Alpha build so expect some bugs :)

SlimMarsh-alpha1

must flash rom then gapps before rebooting.

Rom Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087002494

Gapps Link (i used the Nov 21 mini version): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=41043 thank dan from the slim team for those ;)

known bugs:

1/ Aosp keyboard crashes, need to skip through setup wizard , goto settings/apps and disable that app (rom is laggy until you do) then adb install your own keyboard. i use swiftkey.apk (just google it).

then "adb install path/to/keyboard.apk" once installed open app to set it as default keyboard. then reboot

2/ boot animation a little borked on part1

3/ slim launcher has no app drawer icon set by default. just long press home screen, widgets, slim launcher and add a shortcut "All Apps"

4/ screen rotation has some graphical glitch.

let me know when you find more bugs, some are inherited from the slim source as they are only just bringing M up.

Enjoy Steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
I installed the ROM and gapps after wiping, and it was a slow bootup but I finally got to the welcome screen. I selected English on the welcome screen.

But on the Select Wi-Fi network screen, I cannot select Skip, it is greyed out. As you said, I cannot select a wi-fi network and put in a password, because the keyboard keeps crashing.

So I am stuck, how do I get passed the Select Wi-Fi network screen? At this point all I can do is power down and try again, but I always get stuck there because the "SKIP >" is greyed out and not selectable. And until I can get past the setup wizard, I can't disable the stock keyboard.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
strange, I just pressed skip and it worked, very laggy and slow but it worked
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
is adb working at that point? if it is you could install your keyboard. or boot to twrp and install keyboard.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bryant23109:
Got it loaded up keyboard on and marshmallows on my Kindle

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

If you hit the back button and start over a couple times the skip button will finally show up
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
for those who stuck on wifi setup, dont add google account, skip all the way to home screen. that what i did on 10.2. havent try the slimmarsh. fyi, the official name is slim6 for mm build
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
if your after speed dokey I'd stick with 10.2 atm ?? it's not quite there yet but fun to be running the latest android build on our old kindle's
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
Thanks for the help! I had to go back and forth about 6-7 times, but the skip button finally showed up. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Thanks lovejoy, I installed it, I intend to install apk with built-in file Explorer, sadly, there none :(

I already prepare keyboard, titanium apk to restore apps. Too lazy to use pc :D

Anyway:

- optimizing apps takes very long. On 43 of 72 (est, I use zero gapps), it takes around 10 minutes I guess... Heads up for others :D. I thought it freezed.

- another way to skip setup wizard, for those who stuck on WiFi setup, I tried tapping corner method, and it works. Tap for corner counter clockwise. It will take u to homescreen. Try clockwise too if it's not working. Quite sure it's counter though.

- app drawer, long tap homescreen and choose setting, I use gesture, set double tap to open app drawer. At first I look for it on setting, took me some time to try long tap on screen. Another heads up for foolish one like me :D

Overall, it's slow, but at least I can boast about this old KF running the latest. Hahaha

Thanks

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
mmmm I have full root. i got alsorts of fc's when I tried zero gapps, hence why I used mini but glad zero worked for you. Josh needs all the praise for bringing device and kernel repos upto M.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
does video work? YouTube and Netflix not working for me ? what was that version that worked on lp?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Not sure that I can call it works.... I got fc too, but never thought it because of gapps.

Got root built in? Where's the superuser setting? I only assume there's no root, because no option on Developer option. Never exactly try it though. Sorry for the miss info. I ll edit my post :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
also as I mentioned before, if you add a slim launcher widget "all apps" it adds the proper app drawer icon, just in case I was unclear before
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
My mistake. I read it as "long tap home button" instead of "home screen". And I tried it, several times, lol.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
tips. use kernel auditor from ps and change io scheduler to deadline and ready ahead to 256kb, i have 3x animation settings in dev settings set to off. after a few reboots and a while sitting, the rom seems a lot snappier

[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
Everything downloaded fine.

I wiped everything except internal and flashed the Rom and Gapps in the second post.

For some reason I found everything to be very slow. Heavy lag for the keyboard to pop up, slow text entry etc. etc.

Also, when I tried to download the update Rom posted by Koop it took me to the download page, waited the 10 seconds but never downloaded. I tried different mirrors but same problem.

Confirmation screen said it should have downloaded but no flashing arrow in the top left hand corner and nothing in the downloads folder.

I have flashed back to 8.9 in the mean time. Hopefully you smart folks get things working!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Did you set the animation values, in developer options, to .25? That's been the plan since KitKat. In releases going forward make sure the smartassv2 governor is set with trickstermod and don't over clock. On koop's alpha v2 I over clocked but experienced a lot of lag. Set the governor back to default and my device is running OK.

koops alpha v2 just downloaded fine for me on my computer and Kindle. Md5 checked out just fine on both. Maybe try a different browser???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
Yes I set animation to .25, I also sometimes set it to off.

I never overclock, I use trickster mod with no alterations.

I used the stock browser on the Kindle to try and download the v2 file like I always have done with KK. As mentioned the countdown goes from 10 down to zero but the actual download does not start.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
I had the same issue on v01. I used the LastPass browser and it worked.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

Good idea. I also recommend Dolphin browser for anyone having download issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samsat:
When you say clean flash I assume you mean downloading the rom and gapps to the Kindle, doing a full wipe of everything except internal and then flashing via recovery. This as opposed to the whole ADB thing?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
You are correct and that is as opposed to just flashing the ROM on top of an earlier build which is commonly called "dirty flashing."
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I don't use stock browser. Would there be some permission settings preventing you from downloading? Are you able to download a file from another site?

What game are you speaking of? Only thing I get is the lollipop changing colors. Unless that is the game then in that case I'm a muzzyhead.

Freshly charged Kindle Fire at the ready. Thanks koop.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
After you get to the lollipop tap it a few times and the game will pop up.

You fly a little android around lollipops lol.
