Who likes good new? Everyone? Then, good news everyone.

That sound issue with AOKP that I mentioned earlier isn't just a bug in the Unity3D engine, it's also an optimization bug. I think I found the build option to exclude that solves the sound issue. I have a new build of AOKP KK, which I like a lot, and I think you will, too. That said, I'll be testing it for a few days before I post it. Stay tuned.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Howdy guys Hows tricks? :D, whats the best rom atm I'm resurrecting my old kindle :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Quevvy:
I've had decent luck with the recent CM 11 build; it seems to be the stablest that I've used. I haven't liked the way that any newer versions of Android (>KK) have run on it. However, I haven't used this tablet for extended periods of time to find other bugs/quirks of the ROM…
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Hey all. FYI... I broke something with my AOKP build. I'm not sure what happened, but apps seem to think their data in /sdcard/Android/obb is missing. I'm attempting to fix it. When done, I'll get it uploaded. When it was working, the ROM was quite nice.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Hello. So I spoke too soon. I didn't break anything in the build, I broke something on the /data partition, in spite of file system checks. I cleared that, and everything works fine. So here's an overall improved AOKP KitKat build. It's not quite as smooth as first one I posted, but that's because I couldn't use any alternate toolchains like linaro and uber. I tried a lot of different toolchains with and without extra optimization options. The result always seemed to work, with the exception of some app in particular (usually Netflix). So I settled. I'd rather have good functionality and decent performance. Here it is. Let me know what you think.

The only issue that I've had, so far, is trying to install Zenge. Just installing the apk will cause the installer to freeze and the only option is to force power off the KF and restart it. I've never experienced this behavior with other apps. I wrote to the developer. We'll see if he/she/they respond.

I also made an f2fs build (the only change is the fstab.otterx in the boot image). It has random lags. If you really want it, I'll upload it, but I'm never going back to f2fs and neither should you =).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
so the first aokp version with the sound issue is better in performance?

can u try if YT Kids, is it working on the ROM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] greenrosed:
Hello, newbie here..,

I bought the recent hd8 (6th gen) wishing to install any CM type os. However I was not smart enough to prevent the most recent update (5.3.2.1) from taking place :(. And I don't know how to prevent the next update. My questions are;

How do I prevent the next update?

Do I have to root to mount a new ROM? And can I root now?

Thx in advance. :)

Sorry if this is out of place I'm trying to be a good netizine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
The short answer is: YouTube Kids works well. The longer answer is: don't bother installing that AOKP build yet. because I have a newer build that has good battery life. I've been testing the ROM for over a week now and the battery life is so much better than before.

Now I'm just testing which gapps package I think works best with it. So far the CM11 mini gapps from 2014-12-27 and the current OpenGapps work well. Oddly, PA Gapps do not work so well. I need to get some sleep now, so I'll likely have links up tomorrow.

Cheers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Don't sweat it, most of KF user don't use gapps anyway. I'm forced to flash gapps just for the YT Kids which won't work without gapps.

What are using KF for anyway? My KF usually just sit on the table, sometimes kids use it, but most of the time they use other faster gadget. My youngest usually tap the video on YT Kids several times, because KF doesn't load the video fast enough :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pfederighi:
Better Battery Life =)

Good news, everyone. Who likes better battery life? I know I do. Here you go: AOKP KK Otterx Ext4 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7BjC3Ky49TVUkVsMklXTVhNRlk/view?usp=sharing

All the settings are stock. You'll need to run AdAway to get it set up.

[MENTION=994299]dokie80[/MENTION] As of late I've been using my KF for games. Mostly adventure and puzzle games like Machinarium, Valiant Hearts, Botanicula (currently on sale in the Play Store), The Silent Age, Monument Valley, etc. Basically anything that I think would be more enjoyable on a screen larger than my phone. For reading I tend to use the Kindle app on my phone because my phone is easier to hold and it's lighter that the KF.

If you don't need gapps, I suggest getting Raccoon and transferring files via adb. You may well need LuckyPatcher to deal with those purchased apps that want Google Play Services to verify your purchase.

Suggestions for gapps (abandon hope, all ye who enter here):

If you must install gapps, I suggest the mini gapps package here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717070880

I've also had some success with microG in the past. If anyone wants to try microG and you find AOKP doesn't support signature spoofing, let me know and I'll patch the ROM. https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616

* Disable auto update in the PlayStore settings!

* If you switch to ART, and I suggest you do, clear the PlayStore data, and then disable auto update again!

* If the PlayStore has already updated itself, uninstall the update and then disable auto update!

Why, you ask? Among other things...

* The latest version of the PlayStore is horribly resource hungry and using it is a miserable experience.

* You don't want a newer version of ES File Manager. The version included in the ROM is the last good version. Anything newer is annoying bloatware crap.

Some apps, like YouTube Kids, may ask you to update Google Play Services. This seems to be okay. If you don't want to, though, older versions of apps may not need this. I found that YTK versions less than 2 don't require this. APK Mirror has a lot of older versions of apps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Had problem with the recommended gapps. Can't seem to add Google account. Said to have problem to contact server or something. So I reflash with opengapps. Seems to be faster than using the other gapps.

Anyway, having problems with the YT Kids. Always launched with portrait mode, any idea? See SS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Nevermind. I switched to art and it works now. Battery is superb. A bit slower than JB though, but it's overclocked on jandycane. Going to oc'ed to 1.2 and see.

Many thnks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
sorry to say that i switched back to jandycane.. although the battery is A LOT better on ur build.. its much faster on JB build. its annoying to wait the video to load on YT Kids, and most of the time, the video is not smooth, even the splash screen is lagging. really appreciate ur effort though
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KINDLE FIRE MURDERER:
Since we're on the topic of Jandycane,

CAN YOU PLEEAAASE RE-UPLOAD IT FOR ME!!?

In there, you ll see several file.

Zip file for flashing via twrp, but I usually flash bootloader and recovery via Fastboot (bin and img files)

for bootloader fff 1.4a, if u need zip file, try this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390355257214632594

Don't forget to switch back to otter partition using otterx bootloader!! Follow sd_shadow's instruction on how to revert back to otter.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] chocaru:
Help me please

Dokie, I was trying to "renew" my Kindle and the first idea was go to otterx but haven't find a lagless rom. Reading your posts I'm pretty sure that the best idea it's came back to otter... But that's the problem. I've followed the guides but i'm stucked. I've changed the partition to amazon again and be able to flash 1.4a, but when i'm tryin to flash TWRP 2.2.2.1 within recovery, the device said somethin like "it's a otterx so you cannot install" and if I tried the other way, thru fastboot, the kindle got stucked in "booting" and the PC "waiting for device".

I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] chocaru:
I'm following your writed steps and the video... But i got stuck trying to flash openrecovery-twrp-2710-otter.zip,

within TWRP 2820. The Kindle said - This package is for blaze/otter devices; this is a "otterx" - And if i tried like the video (from fastboot) the kindle stays in the boot screen with caption "booting" in the bottom... and the cmd window in the pc frozen in "waiting for device" after appropiate command (flash fastboot openrecovery...), so I can go further

.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
use the version posted in

Kindle Fire Flashable Recoveries TWRP/COTR/CWM[2014]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
You need twrp 2.2.1.

The 2.7.1 is for otterx.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
When I had problem with kindle not detected by pc, I uninstall all the driver related to Android.

Try to use http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html (usbdeview) to see all installed driver, remove all driver related to Kindle, otter, otterx, Amazon, Android, Samsung, HTC, etc. All keyword that may be related to Android, and reinstall the driver again (I use driver included in KFU)

Also, try to use other USB cable.

If you already sure that the cable works, after you enter the fastboot command, while the status say "waiting for device", reboot the kindle, the command will be executed while the kindle boot.

I usually follow sd_shadows instructions. he got all guides covered for KF. Last I try fire OS 6.3.4 and had problem switching back to custom OS, and have to re-root and re-flashed bootloader and recovery, his posts really helpful :D

If you found problem, redo his instructions from the beginning, probably something you've missed.

PS. Are you sure u already change partition back to Amazon partition? If not you'll have to flash otterx u boot to re-partition.. I prefer to flash using fastboot, since you'll need to use pc anyway to complete all the steps, so I don't bother flashing using twrp. Easier and faster using fastboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chocaru:
I got solved downloading another zip from sd_shadows link. It was the same you've provided, but this time worked. I was thinking in your solution, going to delete all adb drivers, but wasn't required. Thanks for your help. The Jelly rom of your gdrive it's amazing. Fast and good with battery. I'm planning to take the kindle as a backup, so I'm picking the lightest apps. Any advice for that? For browser i choose Puffin and naked browser, for launcher, zeam launcher, and so on. Again, i'm have to say that really appreciate your and [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]s help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
the one twrp i post was edited so it could be installed over OtterX twrp

There is just a simple text script meant to protect people from installing it on the wrong device
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
naked browser and zeam is definitey the lightest.. if you dont mind the UI.

when I'm on Jandycane ROM, I usually stay with the stock, removing some system apps that I dont use, calendar, contact, email, phone, goo.im manager, audioFX, galery.. athough I'm not sure if it give significant benefit.

If possible, dont flash gapps, sideload all apps that you need, for youtube, try NewPipe.

Kindle app still works without gapps, but if you dont use the sync feature, than probably better to use FBreader.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] angela_cabrera40:
Hi all,

8. Reboot system now

9. Language choice

10. Choose WLAN ... WLAN is activated .. the icon ist grey ... nothing!!!

For the past 24 hours i havw all of a sudden had a glitch with s-note

I have a note created which is 3 pages in size.

If i open it and start making changes i am able to undo them.

If i go to page 2 or 3 and start making changes i dont get an option to undo.

If i then swipe to another page and back, I have the option to undo. But as soon as I write or delete anything I need to switch pages and back to undo.

Prior to 24hours ago this was not an issue and worked as it should.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this could be?

If someone could test there's by creating a new note, write something, create a second page, write something, save and exit, then reopen write on the first page then switch to the second and write and see if you have the same problem.

If you are rooted then i suggest first backup your notes in the snote app, then erase the app with a root explorer program or via titanium backup,

reinstall the app. maybe reinstalling the app solves your problem.

I ended up doing a factory reset and restoring from a backup but it seems my issue has carried over. Does yours work fine or do you also have this issue?

Haven't rooted this one yet as I have a warranty deal with my service provider that includes free replacements if it gets lost stolen or broken. Haven't looked into it much but I remember the whole Knox issue with my last android and if they see its been rooted then no free replacements for me. If i can reverse the root without them knowing then I'll be rooting right now.
