The new builds are SElinux enforcing and while I did enable nightlies for testing, I might not recommend them unless you want to help debug and provide feedback.

Also, I'm building a new TWRP with updated SElinux policies as well, which will be recommended before installing the new cm-12.1 ROMs.

3 bugs on kindle fire jem 8.9

1 google play services crashes allot.

2 google play services keeps telling me i need to authenticate

3 blue tooth share crashes. In my case not a big deal other than the pop up.

these are with the latest nightly

This was a dirty flash over top of the first post linked rom. going to jump back one nightly and see what happens will post back then.

Hmm can't get at earlier nightly via updates so have to download it i guess

Tonight, I fixed up a UART console issue which was mistakenly attaching to the bluetooth UART instead of the serial UART (thanks [MENTION=886680]js1[/MENTION] for bringing this up at jira.cyanogenmod.org). And I also updated some bluetooth permissions and SElinux policies.

With these changes I was able to confirm bluetooth functionality at least to my wireless speaker for a2dp.

Unfortunately, this change didn't make it into the 6/18 nightly. It will have to wait for 6/19.

Hi,

I did the upgrade yesterday from CM12 to 12.1 but it does not boot for some reason.

It stays on the screen with the glowing cynanogen head.

What I did was:

1. update twrp to the latest version

2. Factory reset

3. install cm12.1 (yesterday's nightly)

4. install pa-gapps for Android 5.1 (version from April)

5. clean cache

Also, I tried to convert file system to f2fs, but it did only work for the cache partition. For /system twrp said that everything worked ok, but it remained ext4. Doing it for /data threw an error.. After the F2FS attempts I tried installing cm12.1 twice and let it sit for over an hour (12 hours for the second attempt), but it did not start.

Any hints?

Thanks

jo
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeetkunejoe:
I'm have the same problem whenever I try to convert from EXT4 to F2FS for my /data and /cache partitions (I struggled with the same problem you had with /system still showing ext4, but let it remain ext4 as I read there isn't much improvement as the partition is read-only anyway). I'm using the latest GAPPs found in the link: "gapps-5.1-2015-05-23-24". Still get stuck on the glowing head (even left overnight). The only time I got it to boot was when I had all partitions set to EXT4. However, I'd like to use F2FS on at least /data and /cache. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jo2012:
Yup, that was it. I converted /cache back to ext4 and voila, boots up!

Thanks for the feedback!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeetkunejoe:
Happy that helped get you booting into CM12.1!

Hashcode (or anyone else that experienced this issue), any idea why having any F2FS partitions will get stuck on the blue glowing Cyanogenmod head?

Only works with /data. Got that info from the 7" development forum cm 12 thread. We've got 3 7's and 1 8.9 in the house so I follow both threads. Sometimes things come up in one thread but not the other.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
To confirm, /data is the only supported F2FS partition at this time. Changing any other partition to F2FS will cause a bootloop.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeetkunejoe:
Thanks, Hashcode! I somehow missed that. For future reference of anyone flashing CM12.1, these are the possible partition schemes:

Option 1:

/data: EXT4

/cache: EXT4

/system: EXT4

Option 2:

/data: F2FS

/cache: EXT4

/system: EXT4

Device isn't compatable with this version

First and foremost, thanks a million for all the work Hashcode puts into this project. It is most appreciated.

I am currently running the 6/25/2015 nightly with the data partition only formatted to F2FS. I updated to the 2.8.7.0 TWRP and am running the gapps-5.1-2015-05-23-24.zip.

Everything is snappy and running smooth and I am loving it! Only one issue I have had on all the CM12 versions is that I am getting an error when trying to install a couple of programs from the google play store that I was running without issue on CM11. I have run across 2 programs so far, Game of War - Fire Age and Weather Underground, which google play store displays "Your device isn't compatible with this version." I am able to side load them and they work fine but am guessing they will not update this way.

Any thoughts or anybody else experiencing this?

Thanks again, Hashcode. You have made my kindle 8.9 run like a champ again.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Shack70:
I found there was a lot of apps in couldn't run because my version wasn't supported. I went back to cm11 but periscope comes to mind as not availible for my device.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arctophile:
I have found the same - several apps which worked on CM11 show as incompatible in CM12.x. It's stubborn too - I used to be able to fix any incompatibility issues by pretending the Jem was a Nexus 7 (in build.prop), but that doesn't work for me now.

Hmm just updated to latest nightly (6/25) and now I don't have swipe gestures on the AOSP keyboard. Checked that it's enabled in settings - anyone else seen this? Doubly annoying since I can't get Swype to show up in the Play Store....

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I don't know why CM12.1's all wonky with root - by default, in developer options, the "apps and ADB" setting is selected. I got root to work by enabling developer settings, then changing the root setting in developer options to "disabled" and then back to "apps and ADB". After that, root works flawlessly. :D

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

I'm also getting this issue. What worked for me was simply waiting for the update to flash and then going into recovery and flashing the gapps (and unofficial xposed 5.1 port) zips before rebooting into system the first time after updating. After the cache rebuild, everything appeared intact. My hunch is that Cyanogen's trying harder to dissect Google apps from CM.

CM11 downloads?

Why do none of the CM11 download links work at

I hadn't updated my tablet in awhile and figured I would try out a new nightly build to see if there were any improvements but wasn't paying attention to the file names and it updated me to this new 12.1 version. I want to wipe my tablet and go back to 11, does anyone know of any mirrors hosting the old CM11 builds?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Shack70:
Yeah it seems to be this way for everyone.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

I found that instead of running the script I dload the update, boot to TWRP, clear everything, and install update, gapps, and supersu. This seems to work for me. A bit. More painful than older versions but you need to suck it up to have the newest version.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] monster1612:
I'm not aware of any CM11 mirrors for recent builds, but if you're OK with old (7/8+ month old) ROM files, check the snapshot build archive. I checked the M12 snapshot zip, and it appears to be still up and running. Good luck!

CM11 vs. CM12 speed

unfortunately, I have to confirm that 5.1.1. is much slower then 4.4.4. at least on kindle fire HD 8.9.

I've clean-installed (wiped all partitions, luckily new TWRP allows to still connect to windows and push images back to the device) both versions using latest (and not latest) nightlies and the result is same: at least 1,5 times slower....

Of cause this is very subjective...

Anybody with the same concern ?

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rootnooby:
I am having the same concern. I just installed a recent nightly of 12.1 and am disappointed in the speed and responsiveness of the Kindle fire HD 8.9. I was wondering if I would get better performance from a ROM based on kit kat 4.4.4. Question to the fourm, does the fire hd 8.9 have enough processing power to handle a lollipop ROM? My needs are relatively simple for the tablet. Some basic kids games, ability to watch videos (Netflix, Amazon, HBO Go...). Web browsing is speed is important as well.

I noticed that I was not able to download the older version of CM based on kit kat. The link was not working. But, prior to trying to find that, has anyone else been disappointed in the performance of the tablet with this ROM, and if so, which one would you recommend.

I agree that the speed assessment is subjective, but I wouldn't argue that it can feel 1 to 5 times slower on this ROM depending on what you are doing.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jaramosp:
I returned to cm 11 too. Cm 12 is annoying, speed and responsiveness, apps crashing, nightlies installation and playmarket crashing, etc. Cm 11 is more stable and has an acceptable performance, I can use chromecast cast screen, etc. But hdmi cable resets the table, the unique bug I notice in cm11 as a daily driver.

How to access the CPU Governor settings?

Guys, I'd be really glad if you could help me out with this.

I even enabled the developer options and I still can't see where to change the cpu clock settings.

Problem with XENDER: It's hard to create a group in the current version. Only can join.

This has to do with the rom right? Is there an alternative app I can use for transfers?

Also, I haven't meddled much with previous versions of CM on my tate. I jumped straight from stock to the current CM version.. So if anyone could recommend the most stable rom I'd be very grateful.

I basically want the following :

No or bare minimum lag.

Good battery back-up.

I don't play much games, so that's not a priority.

I use it to watch a couple of videos and read books, so do keep in mind and suggests me the rom that'll cater my needs. TIA!

The problem in his case and mine a couple of months ago was that it could not enter the recovery, when you turn on the device,it goes itself to the Twrp splashscreen, and then reboots itself going again to the splashscreen infinitely, and even when you try to enter the recovery manually, this bootloop happens again. I fixed it by trying to reflash the recovery again via fastboot, and it worked, once I was able to enter the recovery, I wiped the system and reflash the rom again.
