Try this:

1) Enable Developer options, if you haven't already. Go to About Tablet and tap on Build Number until Developer Options is enabled.

2) Go to Developer Options, scroll down to Media and try turning "Use NuPlayer (experimental)" off and see if that changes anything.

First off, hardware acceleration on MX Player has been sometimes working, sometimes not for years. You might want to try checking the nightly builds of MX Player from here: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
When I used 2.8.2 there was something about 'signature verification' that was missing because 2.8.2 came with the box checked that required this. As a result it did not flash the ROM. When I tried again and unchecked this box, everything flashed perfectly.

I am still on 2.8.2 and haven't had any issues so long as the signature verification box is unchecked..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
I have had success with all builds but this one.

I'll try a complete reset though I'm skeptical ;)

Edit: Complete wipe failed with the same error. I'm installing 0.7-v0.3 and have copied the TWRP log to my SD. I'll report what I learn from that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Has anyone tried these?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
The latest Alpha is running very well for me. I flashed over the previous build with system and cache wipes only. I am using PA GApps, sabres recommended tweaks, overclocking and Slim Launcher.

Issues:

Graphics glitches with the App drawer and folders. The App drawer occasionally displays at about 5x normal size. A close and open again always fixes it. Folders sometimes open as a ghost image which is hard to see. Once again close and open again fixes it.

My banking App stopped working. I think this is an Art issue.

Thanks to Lovejoy, koop, hashcode and sabres for all you guys do for this community. Keep up the good work!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
What would the benefit of this modification be?

What version of adb and fastboot are you running? I'm wondering if some of our problems could be related to out of date files. Doing a search there is a newer SDK version released this month.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
The benefit would be the availability of more apps on the Play Store, including Instagram ans Inbox by Google, which are not supported by this ROM :( (The Play Store thinks this device shouldn't have these apps included on it) so I made a zip that makes your device look like a nexus 7 to the Google services.:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobJayJr:
Thanks for clarification. I'll give it a try soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Google Play still says that device is not compatible to install the Inbox. Were you able to do this on your device?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
Yeah, I figured out that the Nexus 7 has the same incompatibility issues as the Kindle Fire. I am currently making a Change to Nexus 6 zip.:D

Here is the Nexus 6 zip if anyone wants to try it: http://d-h.st/WelZ

[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Not sure if this is the case, but you might need to clear the Play Store data in order for the new "Nexus 7" setting to take effect.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GIL0802:
I flash it Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8-V0.6.zip with CM12 Gapps and the touch is crazy, i cant even pass the setup because of that... any thought ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
Verify md5's, redownload if incorrect, reinstall either way
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
Thanks a lot, Steve and all who help so much to get this rom where it is. You guys really make this tablet so enjoyable still...

On my side, I tried all the suggestions but could not get 5.0.1.alpha.0.8-V0.5 to work.

If we updated twrp to 2.8.2, should we go back to previous version?

Thanks again :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GIL0802:
I did everything and its still there. :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
I know there is still a lot to be worked on; so I realize this is low priority, but is it possible to add usbvideo and usbaudio support so we could perhaps plug in a microphone and/or camera and use them in apps such as Linphone or Skype? What would be required to do so? Is this even supported in Android? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
what are you doing flashing 0.6 that's never been released. it was a test build for me and koop. check op 0.5 is the latest. if you find other builds by going straight to my android file host folder don't blame me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok who is ready for an update??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
koop and i have been working on a new gapps package. it is 170mb (very big) but very good no more out of date apps, all apps work perfect including calendar, chrome and google services. they will always be bang upto date and it will automatically install the correct google play services etc making borked apps a thing of the past. we recommend you use them although you can still use whichever gapps package you want. these new gapps have been completely rewritten using scripts instead of update binaries. also when there out of beta you will be in complete control of which apps get installed or removed (system apps included). we will explain how this is achieved once out of beta, at the minute all they will install are the very basic apps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
they are based off the work done by TKruzze from PA Roms. please thank this great dev. i will post a link to him in a bit.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GIL0802:
Oh My Bad. I always try to flash the latest ROM. Thanks for clarification.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8-V0.7.zip (notice how we have skipped version 0.6) we skipped it for a reason (see above post by GIL0802).

********

Full wipe recommended as new gapps and lots of frameworks changes.

Wipes

********

factory reset

then goto advanced and wipe system & both caches

********

I have also gone back to Twrp 2.7.1

777kernel is included and smartassV2 is set as default governor.

Sion now works on 5.0.1 roms (only tested flashing.zips, scripts have not been tested yet)

Link: see OP post 2

TIPS:

**********************************************************************************************

Important if you already have Trickster MOD installed.

1: Before installing rom goto /settings/apps/Downloaded/Trickster MOD and clear data

**********************************************************************************************

After installing rom and gapps.

2: /settings/dev-settings/animation scales x3 change to .25x.

3: /google-settings/search & now/voice/ok Google detection/ turn off OK Google.

4: /Trickster MOD/General and set cpu frequency control MAX to 1200000 (to overclock).

Thank Koop for all his time testing these new roms/gapps

Enjoy Steve

im still working on getting the kernel upto date with Hashcodes new commits & implementing all slims new features as they add them.

Running latest build Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8-V0.7 and its super great. One question, This ROM dont have a File Manager ? I flashed the gapps from CM12 Hascode build... Could be that the problem ? :confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
no 5.0.1 has no file manager built in yet. i use rootexplorer, it always works on every device and rom combo i have ever tried
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i strongly recommend the pa gapps i linked they are what we are working on and it means you will be able to dirty flash in the future and everything is updated weekly. theres also going to be some magic happening with them very soon :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vlasp:
You could use Amaze File Manager By Vishal Nehra here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amaze.filemanager&hl=en. It is Ad-Free and it in in Material Design. It also has a Root Explorer built in.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
nice. thanks never knew about that :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
[MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] Nice work mate! :good: :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bflobills:
Great work Steve, Koop and all the developers, this new version and gapps is fantastic!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
SUCCESS!!!

I finally was able to flash the alpha.0.8-V0.5! Thanks to Lovejoy777, Uneeb, and sd_shadow!

Had to wipe my partitions, but now I'm good to go--glad to be back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
I still get the same errors when trying to flash the latest update :( even went back to twrp 2.7.1.0 with no luck.

But on a good note I was able to flash the New gapps :)

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Could you please share the steps you took to achieve this :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Wikdclown:
I thought I'd finally move to slimpop and I to am getting flash errors. I am using correct TWRP and I'm on otter but I checked my partitions and mine is different than lovejoys like 500 mb, so I'm assuming I need to know how to format partitions as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
No problem:

Go to the OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader tread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2671619)

If your bootloader is not 2.05 make sure you update it first following the instructions.

Follow the steps there to update bootloader, etc. Skip a step if you have already done it... then go to step 4 (this is what I needed to do after updating bootloader) and wipe partitions.

Remember, wiping partitions wipes everything including sd card.

Then keep following the steps there and adb push this new rom and pa gapps and flash them...

Hope this helps!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
I just had to post a comment about how great the new build is running. I went back to twrp 2.7.1.0, wiped everything except internal storage, and flashed the latest alpha and the new gapps. It went perfectly! The device automatically restored most of my settings and all of my apps from the play store. The google now launcher came up immediately as an option and is working great. And now the google calendar is working with no issues. Thanks you guys for the AWESOME work that you are doing for the kindle fire! :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Did you have to go back to Amazon partition then back to otterx partition?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
If nothing else works yes
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
I skipped going back (since it said :"otterx") and it worked - I just went straight to wiping partitions
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Please let us know if this works for you.

Whoop whoop!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
sorry guys been sick all day. not left my bed except for a work call_out 1st thing this morning. glad you got it sorted gnexdude.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Yes everything worked after doing the partition otterx step again now running the latest with new gapps.

Thank you to all that had part in figuring this issue out you guys are the best :)

Whoop Whoop !!!!

Dirty flash don't work with TWRP 2.8.2.0

The Alpha 0.8 V0.5 was smooth on my KF1. When I saw the new alpha, I try to download it several times on KF but the download was not implemented. Then I download it in PC, copy to KF and flash. But all flash were failed. Next I wiped all except internal storage. then the KF run without OS, could not flash even the v0.5 ROM. Remember lovejoy777 was also facing problem with the TWRP 2.8, I flash back TWRP 2.7.1.0 and set it up again with the 0.7 Alpha. So I guess the dirty flash works only with the TWRP 2.7.1.0.

One good thing of the TWRP 2.8.1.0 is my Windows 10 Preview recognize Amazon OtterX in Recovery mode and I can see all folders inside (but copy to it or delete from it failed)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobJayJr:
Worked beautifully - Google launcher and calendar both there and working. Thanks. Hope you're feeling better.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
slimroms have released alpha 0.9 :) its building now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i will put it in the op. cheers shadow, your our own personal kindle medic. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Where Do We Go From Here

We have come very far in a short time, but there is still a way to go. Just thought that I would take a minute and discuss where we want to be:

Kernel

[MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] is still working on some updates and integrations. The two biggest things to be solved are the Netflix bug and the light sensor fix. I'll agree as well that it would really be cool if we could support OTG. Wish list there....

ROM

Once we get the kernel stuff down and the ROM nice and stable, we can set about breaking it....I mean optimizing it for performance. That will include taking out the things that are useless, phone-centric and Blue Tooth come to mind. We have been through this before, it can really make a difference.

SION

Genius on the part of [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION], we can really use this to push settings (making updates easier) and enhancements.

GAPPs

This is an area where we may have some very cool surprises, making the experience more customizeable. More about this as we go forward.

It is a great time to be part of this!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Gaaa... I've been way to busy the past few days at work to try flashing the new release.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
Downloading and installing the latest release now :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
This helped me flash the latest SlimPop. I had to go with the nuclear option and repartition. At least I know it was clean when I flashed :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
I was gonna make a joke about how I soft bricked my Shield Tablet with this ROM but then realized how stupid it would have sounded.

Anyways, I underestimated how long the initial boot was and I fell asleep waiting on it lol. So once I got up setup my Google account and all is running good, thanks for the hard work :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
sd_shadows thread as been added to OP post 3, Tips. thanks again [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Just had an opportunity to flash the latest release and it's very responsive. So far I can't find any issues other than no video on chrome. Flashing and setting the ROM up has drained most of my battery so I'll give it a good run after a full charge.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mclad:
Do peeps think slimpop is faster or slower than slimkat? I use my two otterxs for kids games for my boys so responsiveness is key...

Also, I think perhaps since I changed them from single user to two-users (one managed) things seem a bit slower. Has anyone else noticed this, is it real and is there any reason for it?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
sorry i hit last minute hitch.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Did you try the different GApps?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yes mate same issue
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Gapps in Hashcode thread is different. Could try that one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ive wiped my whole source folder from my pc. im starting again from scratch, my old source had lots of things changed and hacked before the slim team sorted lots and hash came along. so hopefully a fresh start will bring a working rom. sorry again for being premature with the announcement. cheers steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HobbitCy:
no worries we all can wait and have something worth playing with rather something thats all broken

installed your KK version in the mean time : )
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Indeed Steve, you don't need to be in a hurry. Enjoy the process, have fun... ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
Take your time Senpai :P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Hello... Thanks for this. Noob q. U dont need new twrp for this, right? I still use the first otterx f2fs twrp version
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
The PAC 5.0 I made flashed fine on TWRP 2.7.1.0 works pretty smoothly too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ive done it guys. release coming in the next hour. get wiping everything looks good. just need testing a bit:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok its in the hands of koop. if he passes it then it will be posted :) if it fails his tests then im giving up and taking up knitting. (joke, i have more stamina than that :) ).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
Installed, waiting for first boot. Will report back!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
use twrp 2.7.1 it works fine. it mentions something about no system partition found, just ignor and give it plenty of time
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Optimizing Performance

Once you finish boot, you will want to enable Developer options. (About Tablet, tap build number.)

Then go into options and set the three animations from .75 to .25.

It makes a BIG difference!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Does it suffer from the same battery leak as Hashcode's Lolipop release? Will it be solved by turning wifi off during sleep?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asjimene:
Everything is working great so far, I did a full wipe and started from scratch. Runs pretty smooth (although not as smooth as SlimKat with lovejoys tweaks). Changing the animation scale did speed things up considerably.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Too early for me to tell, I will report after I let it burn in for a day or so.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
my smartass is being added soon :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Slimkat is stable. Slimpop is alpha. Multy user is not a good idea on an 8mb device. That being said slimpop is getting there. You could try flashing slimpop on just one of them then you could do a proper comparison for us. ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mclad:
lol I was just thinking that I had nothing better to do tonight and want to try the pop anyway so I may as well do some benchmarks... is just reporting antutu results good enough, anything else to measure? I'll also do with and without multi to quantise that effect...
