I never connected it to WIFI when I booted it up for the first time. I guess I made the smart move, cuz I'm still on 5.0.2 or whatever. I already was able to root it and install the play store on it, so I guess I'm in a good position. I now would rather put a ROM on it tho for a more android feel. Can't stand this FIREOS crap.
[Fire Original Android Development] pappasmurfsharem:
So if you're on 5.1.1 are you SOL?
[Fire Original Android Development] sd_shadow:
currently yes
[Fire Original Android Development] pappasmurfsharem:
Bummer.

All I want is to set another launcher as default =( but I can't root and don't get prompted. I assume I need to convert the APK to a system file.
[Fire Original Android Development] xm41907:
While at lunch today I was watching videos using MX Player and it caused the Fire to overheat and shut off. I rebooted several times and within 15 seconds of boot, it would do it again, without opening any apps. I let it cool down awhile, then it worked fine. I had MX Player using hardware decoding. Switched to software and it didn't seem to heat back up. I need to play with it some more to see if it was a fluke (sitting in the car with the heater on high) or if I can repeat the overheating.
[Fire Original Android Development] julianpaul:
Daayum, this is news. And not the good kind...
[Fire Original Android Development] xm41907:
I've had it playing the same videos on HW decoding for over an hour in my office and it feels only slightly warm on the back. Unfortunately I can't connect it to the internet to install a temperature app, but I'm thinking it was a fluke due to being too close to my car vent with the heater on.

This SlimLP ROM with L Speed mod makes Fire 5th gen a really responsive tablet. It is unbelievable that such a device shipped with a laggy stock ROM has turned into a day-to-day usable tablet! Thanks!!
[Fire Original Android Development] chugger93:
Got this thing up and running. Cant download from the play store. Anyone with a similiar issue?

Couldnt not be downloaded due to an error. Error retrieving information from server
[Fire Original Android Development] parkerlreed:
What is L Speed mod? Never heard of it.

EDIT: Ok I see what it is now. http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138

What options have you used with your Fire?
[Fire Original Android Development] Shinyhead:
Need to this give mod a try... but so far the SlimLP stock is pretty smooth compared to my old Nexus 7 2012 :S
[Fire Original Android Development] chugger93:
I almost wanna try it too, but the rom outta the box is already so damn slick and fast. Love it!
[Fire Original Android Development] blueberry.sky:
Netflix works ok? Zero mention of netflix when searching the thread.

Trying to pick a rom to point to for my friend to install. Only I don't subscribe to netflix so I can't test it myself. There seems to currently be issues with netflix (and other video) in CM12.1, from what I've read at least.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Yup, should work ok but i don't use it. Better someone to confirm it.
[Fire Original Android Development] sd_shadow:
Netflix works with CM12.1

just Disable HW overlays in Dev options (setting seems reset after reboot though)
[Fire Original Android Development] RickGrimes411:
Netflix works fine in SlimLP for me. No modification needed.
[Fire Original Android Development] ty_ger07:
Hello! This is my first post here. :highfive:

Let me preface my question. First tested the CM 12.1 mod ROM and it was good except that I had random graphical artifacts when I unlocked the screen. I then tried this ROM and didn't have graphical artifacts for many days. I assumed that it was an issue with the CM 12.1 ROM.

But now, just yesterday, for the first time, I had the same type of graphical artifacts from unlock randomly. I can reproduce the issue by repeatedly locking and unlocking the screen using the power button. Eventually, after doing it repeatedly, it will randomly artifact.

When it artifacts, the screen will remain artifacted until I lock and unlock the screen. When it is artifacted, I can swipe the screen to unlock to the home screen and the graphical artifacts change. So, I know that the OS is functioning, the touch screen is working, and everything is fine except for the image.

When I screenshot the artifacts, the screenshot appears completly normal. It appears to be an issue with how the screen is initiallized after unlock. Perhaps it isn't fully initiallized when the screen data is provided to the display controller and causes the display controller to push screen data out at the wrong time of something.

I have attached a photograph of the artifacted screen. As I said, the screenshots appear totally fine; so I had to take a photo with a camera.

Thank you for your consideration!
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Thanks for the report, the issue is known and we are still working to try to find a fix.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Op updated with v2.2 and Changelog in second post.

Enjoy!.
[Fire Original Android Development] ty_ger07:
Thank you for the quick reply! I must have missed the previous comments related to this issue.
[Fire Original Android Development] chugger93:
Still loving this ROM on my 2nd day. I dont wanna be a ****, but is there any point in upgrading to the newest build you posted? Seems like I wouldnt take advantage of that bulleted list. Hmmmm... also, going forward, can you dirty flash updates? Thanks again!
[Fire Original Android Development] BigMosley:
See "upgrading" in the OP.

How about try using them before complaining
[Fire Original Android Development] demlv:
I like to read and learn......and if I am understanding the recent exchanges correctly, the decision the dev made was to bake in "ezio optimizations" which (as a side effect) makes it impossible to run xposed on this rom.

A quick search regarding "Android ezio optimization" did not seem to return meaningful info. So for the uninitiated (like me) would anyone care to briefly explain the benefits/trade-offs? :angel:

[Fire Original Android Development] avinash60:
Thanks for the pointer, I tried it out and I believe the combination of this rom and the mod makes this tablet an exceptional device.

Thanks to the devs for this ROM as well, I feel that this is one of the best 35$ I have spent in recent past.
[Fire Original Android Development] BigMosley:
I'm looking for an app that lets you split your screen into 2 apps like Samsungs Multi-Window feature. There's a few on the play store but they don't work properly. Does anyone use something like this?
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
What are the ones on the play store called?

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

Without the mod, I feel the tablet is fast enough lol.
[Fire Original Android Development] BigMosley:
Multi Window but they are more of a app layer, you don't exactly split your screen in 2 and most apps don't work.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
I checked out those apps, and I think they are scams. They only have multi window for certain apps that are made specifically for that and the only way for non native multi window apps to display as multi window is if the system has it built in.

Ignore the haters man good job
[Fire Original Android Development] xm41907:
This is correct. The rom must have the capability built in.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
We will try to implement it in the future. Next build will fix camera and OMX stuff.
[Fire Original Android Development] xm41907:
Awesome! I'm loving v2.1, but any additional capabilities would be welcome!
[Fire Original Android Development] shokka9:
Awesome; I think I will try that L-Mod mentioned earlier in the thread, seems like my kinda thing.

Thanks to [MENTION=2511007]csolanol[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4375260]diegocr[/MENTION], looks like the next update will be a big one.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Op and changelog updated.

Enjoy.
[Fire Original Android Development] BigMosley:
Very thoughtful, many thanks.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
Gonna try the L speed mod tonight y'all.
[Fire Original Android Development] manywelps:
I dropped 2.2b on and bluetooth stopped working (can't turn it on). Anyone else confirm?
[Fire Original Android Development] BigMosley:
Dirty or clean flash?
[Fire Original Android Development] manywelps:
Dirty. Full wiped and it started working properly
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
Yeah. I had issues with SuperSU on a dirty flash as well. I can say with certainty clean flash is the way to go.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Wiping cache, dalvik cache and system and flashing ROM+gapps should be ok but you know, if you have issues, clean flash.
[Fire Original Android Development] Gibbothegreat:
Very happy with Ver 2.1 no need to install L Speed she's fast as it is :good:
[Fire Original Android Development] Sulinjr:
Does L Speed have any compatibility issues with any apps or other system modifications? I'm trying to look into putting it on my Amazon Fire with CM12 and Xposed but I haven't got a clear answer to whether this is even possible? Anyone?
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
Everyone knows the motto. If in doubt clean flash.
[Fire Original Android Development] happydish:
You should fix the op, it still shows video recording under issues.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
It isn't working for me, so...
[Fire Original Android Development] BigMosley:
I just did a clean install and I've noticed 2 things.

1.) No camera app? I must me missing something.

2.) When locking device the screen twists sideways? I read someone had this problem on a previous build and I didn't notice it on 2.1.
[Fire Original Android Development] diegocr:
1.) Rom have not any camera app, install one you like.

2.) All versions have this problem.
[Fire Original Android Development] BigMosley:
Not a problem with the cam but I swore that screen off error got fixed in a previous build. I didn't see it on 2.1, I have been dirty flashing but figured a clean flash was due.

BTW, 2.2b is very snappy! Many thanks to our great devs.
[Fire Original Android Development] qtotter:
L Speed is an Android-generic mod. If you are concerned, you should carefully check the original thread. Some mod items, of course, might cause issues with some of apps you use. I guess people usually backup their devices before they apply the mod, and check which mod item should not be used for their own environment, one by one themselves. The environment is different from user to user.

For example, "26.Kill media server on boot" caused an issue with the music player app that I used, so I unchecked this mod item.
[Fire Original Android Development] Sulinjr:
I've read up as much as I can but as far as I can tell no one has attempted it on Amazon Fire with CM12. Also as far as threads go this is the only thread I've found that even talks about using L Speed with Amazon Fire even though its only been confirmed to work on SlimLP. I was hoping someone had any experience with this but it sounds like I'm on my own. So I'll back up, begin trial and error. I'll post my results in the CM12 thread to help others. Thanks.
[Fire Original Android Development] manywelps:
Is there a way to fix the aspect ratio?

Possibly by telling Android/GPU driver that the physical screen size is slightly different than the default?
[Fire Original Android Development] Joshmccullough:
Upgraded to the newest build, running smoothly, thanks for the hard work!

I'd posted this a while ago, but is anyone else but me not getting the Chromecast option/icon on Netflix? I've got it with every other Cast-capable app, don't know if it's just me or what.
[Fire Original Android Development] sd_shadow:
I'm getting the icon, but it seems to be a little buggy, could just be something on my end though.
[Fire Original Android Development] yaoverstand:
Thanks to everyone who helped me with my adb issues earlier in the thread. I'm running 2.1 and absolutely love it!

For some reason, my Play books will not connect (cannot access my library). All of my other gapps work just fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled with no change.

Edit: of course I tried uninstall/reinstall again after this post and it fixed it
[Fire Original Android Development] Joshmccullough:
Huh, you're ahead of me, then. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, still no Chromecast option. Not the world's biggest deal, that's what I've got the Nexus 5 for, just odd.
[Fire Original Android Development] RW2112:
To fix Netflix i had to edit the build.prop. I changed ro.product.brand=amazon and ro.product.manufacturer=amazon to be asus instead. Save build.prop, reboot and you should gain ability to your chromecast from Netflix.
[Fire Original Android Development] bundys:
This ROM is amazing, especially the battery life in standby - it seems leaps and bounds better than my Samsung GTP 8.4. Wish we could have xposed though, as I mostly use it for blocking ads, especially in youtube and considering these tablets are being used by my kids, I'd love to be able to limit their exposure to advertising garbage. Any chance of a build without the extra ART optimizations and added xposed compatibility?
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Sorry not for now. Maybe in the future.
[Fire Original Android Development] Shinyhead:
I use Adaway but not sure if it will block ads in Youtube...

Adaway works for websites and regular apps, but unfortunately not for YouTube.
[Fire Original Android Development] bundys:
Maybe when the final release of 5.1.1 based SlimLP comes out we could do a one off build - it would be much appreciated.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
Don't push ur luck guys. We already had Xposedgate once. Leave [MENTION=2511007]csolanol[/MENTION] alone and let him have fun helping out the community.

Not pushing at all - if it happens great, if not, oh well, we still have a great rom.

Camera on 2.2b and SlimMiniGappsBeta5.1 not working. Any ideas?

-Thanks
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Working fine here, both pictures and videos.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
Could it have something to do with using Google Camera? Should we not be using that app? It doesn't work for me either.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
I use it but i dirty flashed v2.2b. What is not working, can't connect to camera or not being able to take pics and record videos?
[Fire Original Android Development] bundys:
I find Google camera works fine except for the hdr mode (which crashes the app).
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
I cannot use video at all but pics work fine. I clean flashed 2.2b.

I've always had problems with the HDR mode with multiple devices, but that's not the issue I am having.

It seems Google Camera is the problem for me. I used Open Camera and Snapchat and I have no issues with video recording and such.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Hi guys,

i have built a stock slimlp beta 0.13 with some features added. Xposed is working with that build. If you are interested tell me and i will upload it.
[Fire Original Android Development] goodhur:
To use Netflix with Chromecast, you'll need to change a line in your build.prop

Change ro.product.manufacturer from Amazon to asus

for some reason having an Amazon there disables chromecast

Oops saw it was answered already sorry
[Fire Original Android Development] bundys:
Yup, please do so [emoji3]
[Fire Original Android Development] blueberry.sky:
Definitely interested! And I have to say huge thanks for doing an xposed compatible build! Even after there were a**holes crying, complaining & insulting you (while claiming "no insult intended" :rolleyes:). Of course they didn't even take notice of who built the TWRP recovery that we / they are using on the Fire to install other roms. Or the fact that fixes are shared between the two roms. Whichever rom you use, you are benefiting from the work of all the Fire devs.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Will upload it tomorrow morning.

If [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] release the screen off animation fix I will include it for tomorrow [emoji4]
[Fire Original Android Development] 4t701:
awwwwww yeaahhhhh!

[emoji41]
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
I hope this is a separate build and you haven't just gotten rid of the Ezio optimizations. Those really work nice and speed up the ROM.
[Fire Original Android Development] nirogu325:
Wondering if that screen off animation fix relates to a file or two that can be replaced with the right permissions or is it something that requires a full wipe?
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Yup, is another build.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
It is related to framework. Just dirty flashing as op says should work.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Edited 4th post and posted link to SlimLP stock + some detailed features.

Updated the link with screen off glitch fixed. Ty to [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] for his awesome work.

Enjoy.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
We are thinking about change our work to official slim sources with our addons and delete the buids with ezio84 mods as it is discontinued.

We have added most of the features present in ezio's mod to the stock slim build. Could you please test and help us to decide.

Ty.
[Fire Original Android Development] ZeusII:
Working great here, thanks :good:
[Fire Original Android Development] blueberry.sky:
Test your SlimLP w/o ezio "stock slimlp beta 0.13"? Is dirty flash ok for switching to that build?

Would it be much to ask to list the features that ezio's mods bring? The mods that would be lost in the switch you're thinking about. I know you linked to ezio repository but I afraid going through the code is a bit difficult for those who just dabble in minor coding here & there.

You mention adding "most of the features present in ezio's mod to the stock slim build" will this switchover that you're considering include or leave out the ART optimizations (which are incompatible with exposed)?

Side note... Wow, rjmxtech is going to be spitting blood when he reads that.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
I didn't merge all the telephony related stuff. Basically has the same features as the other build without the system settings where kernel adiutor and SuperSU were (SuperSU is in settings dashboard now) and dropped layers support (This ****ty mdpi screen doesn't play well with them).

Obviously art optimizations from ezio aren't present and xposed works.

You can dirty flash wiping cache, dalvik and system and flash ROM+gapps. It should work but if you get issues clean flash.

Hope you enjoy it.
[Fire Original Android Development] bundys:
So I've tested the new build side-by-side with the old build (2 kids - 2 tablets), and I'm thrilled with the results. I've noticed a few apps that launch a little slower on the beta 13 build without ART optimizations, but most apps (~90%) launch about the same on both tabs. The only one I've found so far that loads noticeably slower is YouTube, not sure if this is because of the ad zapping xposed module or what, but I'm more than happy to live with this little downside if my young kids don't have to see advertisements.

My vote would be to proceed with the b13 build, as the tradeoffs are minimal and upside of xposed is HUGE.

Merry Christmas
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated.

About some apps launching slower, that's the price of remove art optimizations. You will notice it too launching games, they will load slowly but will work ok.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
I hope you reconsider just ditching the builds with the ART optimizations or if you would provide a flashable zip for users like myself that could be flashed over the Xposed compatible builds (if making a flashable zip for such a thing is even possible). I do not mean this in a condescending tone in the least I am just trying to voice the opinion of those who don't use Xposed. In light of all this I think possibly making 2 builds (one with ART optimizations and one without them) would be best so that we don't just cater to one group of users and start arguments again. I am pretty sure me and many others would really appreciate this.
[Fire Original Android Development] harisled:
Any ideas why Kindle reader is not showing any books on this rom? :confused:
[Fire Original Android Development] ldeveraux:
Again, just you, no others ?
[Fire Original Android Development] nirogu325:
I second this as I have no use for Xposed myself, but if I'll have to make do without the optimizations, oh well, so be it. It's up to the developers.
[Fire Original Android Development] Pond-life:
Ah thought that was just me. Labels it as my third android device and that doesn't appear on Amazon's devices page.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
No idea, never used kindle reader and amazon services...
[Fire Original Android Development] laofan:
Agree. I have ditched xposed years ago. A build with ART-otimized would be appreciated.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Well, maintain two source trees and get them up to date is too much work for my free time. I am building v2.3 with screen off glitch fixed and will upload it but it will be the last one with art optimizations. I will continue the stock slim line.

For all of you that prefer art optimizations you can use the slim stock line and add these two lines to the build.prop:

dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=everything

dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=everything

Test it and provide some feedback please. Note that with those lines in your build.prop you will not be able to use xposed so if you are using it and add them you will get a bootloop.

If you get in trouble doing this just boot TWRP and dirty flash the rom.
[Fire Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
[MENTION=1360535]ldeveraux[/MENTION] your snidely comments are not necessary
[Fire Original Android Development] bundys:
I've never done android development, so this might be a shot in the dark, but would xposed v79 be okay with the above two filters anyways. I'm asking because of the following line in the v79 changelog compatibility "plus any devices which have activated the compiler filter "everything" for ART". Can't test as I don't want to bootloop my device as my girls would kill me if they couldn't watch their "Clifford the big red dog", but it would be great if we could have the best of both worlds.
