I just tested this and it's true. Dirty flashing 0.14 over 2.2 did work on Android level, however many services stopped and the best thing (as always) is a full wipe flashing 0.14 and gapps. I'm using FlashFire btw, don't know if it works well with TWRP.

However, there've been some changes from 2.2 to 0.14 that I'm not sure I like. There's a built in web browser and the slim tak switcher is enabled by default, both fixable. The DPI settings are locked to presets instead of the way it was before, which is a bummer in the case I like to go as high to 240 dpi (i.e. my mom's tablet). Also the screen recording settings on the settings menu allows to set up resolution and bitrate, but how do I start recording? Two preinstalled launchers?

My point is that changes from 2.2 to 0.14 were larger than what I read on the changelog and expected. Still, the rom is awesome and I recommend it and wouldn't go back to a previous, it's really good and stable, but there were so many changes.... Anyways, no bugs so far except for the microSD thing...
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
To access screen recorder you need to add it to global menu from navigation section in settings.

DPI settings can be changed from display settings section.

What is better? Cyanogenmod 12 or SlimLP?
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
The one you like better. :)

Discounting fan boys there is no significant advantage of one over the other. Mostly eye candy and small features that make a difference to some. Both are Lollipop based and derive 95% of their functionality from core android.

[MENTION=2511007]csolanol[/MENTION] this is the best rom for this device many thanks it's so fast really fast I don't know how it's in beta it's very stable and fast on my tablet much thanks and keep up this amazing work
[Fire Original Android Development] chugger93:
I've been running this rom for a good 2 months, but have noticed some odd issues. Mostly with the wifi. It seems like a reboot is needed because the wifi just doesnt seem to work. Maybe its correlated with the youtube for kids app tho...but that app stops streaming randomy and I have to reboot. Turning off the wifi and turning it back on doesnt seem to help.
[Fire Original Android Development] nirogu325:
Clean flash? I have zero issues with Wi-Fi using the latest ROM version 0.14. I'd suggest checking that app on another device to see how it behaves.
[Fire Original Android Development] nd4spdviper:
Yeah that's kind of the problem, the options are preset now and previously one could just put a number there. I'm currently searching Play Store to see if there's an app to do what could previosly be done with the rom tools
[Fire Original Android Development] nd4spdviper:
Nevermind, using "Le DPI Changer [ROOT]"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.nisarg.setdpi I was able to fix it. It seems like it changes the default DPI settings in order to "unlock" a new range of presets, but works for me nonetheless.
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Xposed module "App Settings" offers precise control over screen DPI along with numerous other tweaks. Note settings are applied at the app vs system level which may or may not suit needs.

Note: see post immediately preceding/following; Xposed may not be compatible with FlashFire (TBD). Works fine when flashed via TWRP.
[Fire Original Android Development] Franzferdinan51:
I tried running xposed thru flash fire and it soft bricked me
[Fire Original Android Development] laofan:
I use prop.build editor to change the DPI density. Works like charm.

If i buy an amazon fire tv stick (there i can install kodi/xbmc) - can i send video files, youtube videos and so on to my tv - with wifi display, miracast or something like this?

Is this already working with slim-rom or will this be working in near future?

If it´s not working with slim rom, will this be working with cm?
[Fire Original Android Development] Franzferdinan51:
Will you be updating to slimMarsh or sticking with LP?
[Fire Original Android Development] glate:
I have a Fire TV (similar functionality to the stick) and I can cast Netflix and YouTube to it without issue. I can't speak for Slim but it works on the latest CM build. No need to install Kodi to do so.
[Fire Original Android Development] lovejoy777:
works on slim too. ?
[Fire Original Android Development] thx1138az:
I noticed that too but it seemed to happen only after I installed Gmail. Conflict? I eventually, because of the annoyance, had to disable exchange services using Root Uninstaller Pro.
[Fire Original Android Development] Sport6:
Anyone have the original gapps that was posted in this thread? It is not found on android file host anymore. I downloaded the gapps that was linked to the slim-gapps thread but they do not run and force stop themselves.
[Fire Original Android Development] Sport6:
Nevermind I just reinstalled the gapps again through flashfire without the add-ons and the errors went away.
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Don't have the original linked package. However, if play services (and framework) run without FC it will typically self-update which often resolves the problem. Might take a few hours and a reboot or two before things become stable.
[Fire Original Android Development] laofan:
Dont't use the add-ons. Only rom and gapps are needed. Add-ons are not for this rom.

OP also said several times about only using gapps.
[Fire Original Android Development] York_21:
Just dirty flashed Unofficial SlimLP 0.14 by FlashFire.... Hope it works well.
[Fire Original Android Development] dgmustard:
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is an issue with the ROM or not but...

Running 0.14 and am able to fastboot (but can't ADB as it's disabled and greyed out)

Last night I changed my Fire from MTP mode to "Just Charge". Now I can't get the notification to appear again to change it back.

Because I'm in Just Charge mode, ADB debugging is greyed out and disabled.

If I go to Storage > USB connections, I get the error " USB is not connected" even if I'm plugged into my computer (and the tablet recognizes it and charges).

Is there a file where I can manually change the mode with a text editor? Or a different fix?

EDIT: Never mind, I had to change the way I googled and found a fix. I used a build.prop editor and changed "persist.sys.usb.config" to "mtp,adb" and rebooted when prompted. Once it booted, ADB was re-enabled and the device switched to MTP (with a notification) when I connected to my computer.

[Fire Original Android Development] Sumaech:
Updates

Will the rom self update or do i have to update it every time there is a update it? (do i have to re flash it every time there is a update? or does it have a updater?)

Thanks,
[Fire Original Android Development] nirogu325:
Answer bolded. I don't suggest dirty flashing if long term stability is your objective.
[Fire Original Android Development] hossman:
Not a big issue and sorry if its been mentioned, I'm not here very often... But I cannot power down my kindle with the power menu.. Reboot works fine.

If I force power off and plug in charger, it will boot itself up.

Just curious if this is a known issue or if maybe something is wrong with my kindle.. Other than that this ROM is nice and smooth, thanks for the great build
[Fire Original Android Development] sd_shadow:
does the same with stock rom
[Fire Original Android Development] hossman:
Never noticed... Only used stock for about 2 min, then installed this.

Thanks for quick response
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Not the case with CM 12.1; powers down like a champ.
[Fire Original Android Development] The Destroyer:
I just installed Slimlp on my Fire yesterday but am getting issues with the Play Store Services. I flashed the mini gapps during the install but the play services has stopped message keeps popping up. I've forced it off for now but how do I install the proper play services for this device?
[Fire Original Android Development] sd_shadow:
which gapps version, filename?
[Fire Original Android Development] The Destroyer:
Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20160121
[Fire Original Android Development] sd_shadow:
yes I only gave a partial answer

i was referring to the connecting charger when powered off
[Fire Original Android Development] dgmustard:
Sorry, I meant I'm on a Fire that is able to fastboot/ADB.

My original post was to see if anyone else is able toggle from Just Charging back to MTP without having to use a build.prop editor as, for me, all of the usual methods weren't possible.
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
I was not able to duplicate your situation after seeing original post (couple days ago). Could toggle back without twiddling build.prop. Only tried once so it may be situational or influenced by conditions that weren't present during my quick text. Be interesting to see if others weigh in with similar experiences.

[Fire Original Android Development] laofan:
SlimLP 0.14 power down just fine.

I just powered off mine and restart it to reply.
[Fire Original Android Development] demlv:
The issue being discussed was whether you can charge the Fire without it turning on. The only way I've been able to do this is to plug in a charging cable while booted into Android, then power down the tablet after the charging has begun. That way mine will stay off while charging.....at least while running the Resurrection Remix ROM, and if I remove the cable and reconnect it, the device will power on.
[Fire Original Android Development] nirogu325:
That's how the stock kernel behaves and until developers unlock the bootloader and Amazon releases kernel source (is this even possible?) I'm afraid we will have to keep using the stock kernel. So it's a kernel "feature". Just like my Galaxy S3 behaves whenever I plug a charger when it's turned off with stock kernel.
[Fire Original Android Development] The Destroyer:
I'm still experiencing play service FC's on SlimLP. I installed gapps version Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20160121. Ever since I've booted into LP the popup just continues. I uninstalled play services and tried launching the play store to update the services but without any luck either as the play store crashes before even starting the update.

Is there an easy way to flash back to stock and then retry? Or is there an apk out there for the current playstore update?
[Fire Original Android Development] KennBr:
I was wondering if NFS is enabled in the Slim kernel? I am trying to mount an NFS share but keep getting a protocol not supported error.
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
No Slim kernel. It's the stock one. We can't change the kernel due to locked bootloader. Sorry.

I have been running the open gapps nano package for 5.1, and am not having any issues. You may want to try it out [MENTION=7177427]The Destroyer[/MENTION]. http://opengapps.org/?api=5.1&variant=nano
[Fire Original Android Development] mbholm:
I wanted to post here last night, but it wouldn't let my newly created profile post here. It appears I can now.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of playing with a popup prompt about how to handle the USB connection (randomly told it to use charging only mode). I never expected it was possible to set something so easily that doesn't appear to have a way to undo it. I am finding lots of people have had this issue. . .and I haven't found many solutions. I have tried this one at least 5 times rebooting each time. . .and still no success.

USB Debugging is still disabled for me under dev options. . .if I go to Storage > ... USB connections, I get the error " USB is not connected" as mentioned here. Is this really just a SlimLP issue (I see someone commented they didn't have the problem on their CM build)?

Anything else to try if I am having this problem as well?

Thanks!
[Fire Original Android Development] tobiasg2603:
Can you just update the SlimRom software via otg or do you have to flash and delete everything for an update? How can I install Xposed Framework? I'll install everything via TWRP as my new device wasn't powered on yet. I'm going to use Rootjunky's Supertool to do all this.

I notice when writing a post on a forum like this in Chrome that if I open a number of tabs to copy and paste links into the post, when I click it it reloads the page and erases the post. I don't seem to get this problem with my Sero 7 and DOPA. Could it be the way the memory is managed? Maybe I could adjust the OOM settings?
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Believe Sero 7 has the same amount of system memory (1 GB). DOPA is KitKat based, correct? Regardless, you can tweak android memory management settings with a tool such as Kernel Adiutor. Other thoughts:

- try a different browser (Chrome isn't leanest beast)

- think about other memory hunger apps that might be running at the same time

- kill some unnecessary background tasks to free up memory and reduce the chance of Chrome having to reload
[Fire Original Android Development] dgmustard:
Good to know I wasn't the only one who had that issue.

In my edit (I was typing on my Fire), I misquoted the wrong config value to edit.

You want to edit "persist.sys.usb.config" and make it "mtp,adb"

Make sure not to add a space between mtp, the comma, and adb

I'll go and edit my original edit to make sure no one makes that mistake.
[Fire Original Android Development] mbholm:
Thanks. I had already figured out the typo when I was looking through the settings. . .unfortunately for me, this doesn't seem to be working. . .I already had it this way last night. . .tried it with quotes just now. . .nothing working so far.
[Fire Original Android Development] mbholm:
Ok. I got it working. Crazy how few good sources there are on fixing this issue. So it happens that at least some of these settings are stored outside of build.prop. With a bit more web searching, I found someone referencing a file path where this setting was stored as well.

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488186)

Used Root Explorer with ES File Manager and browsed to /data/property. Then I edited the _file_ persist.sys.usb.config with a text editor and replaced the chargingonly with

mtp,adb

Now I got ADB access back again. . .and installed FlashFire. :)
[Fire Original Android Development] piggynuts:
My screen brightness doesn't adjust with this rom. Anyone else have that issue or any work around
[Fire Original Android Development] mbholm:
My brightness seems to be working fine.
[Fire Original Android Development] piggynuts:
Doesn't work on mine. Had to download a third party app.
[Fire Original Android Development] stehaworth:
I believe the issue is that the brightness settings are internally set to auto, like we had on KitKat. However the current ll options work differently. Just need to install 3rd party app to turn off auto brightness. Then you can uninstall the app and just inbuilt slider

Anyone besides me have an issue where they turn on interactive governor and the tablet reboots?

Sent from my SlimLP Kindle Fire
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
Yup, it's stock kernel. Happens on FireOS too.
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Yes - same on CM 12.1. No surprise given common kernel. Hotplug seems the most logical choice among remaining options; works well. Other choices tend to 'stick' at max frequency (even powersave) and have trouble turning down cores.
[Fire Original Android Development] Sudogaron:
Issue:

Installed fine, and did a reboot. Downloaded chrome browser and moved the icons around some. Went into display settings and changed the DPI to 200 instead of 160. Now I have no icons what so ever except for chrome on the homescreen. I cannot access the apps list or settings menu at all, aside from swiping down going into notifications, and then settings from there. Still unable to access apps or even the play store since there are no icons.

Should I do a reflash?

Used:

Reflash rom and gapps again wiping system before.

[Fire Original Android Development] Sudogaron:

Awesome thanks. For some reason I can't get fastboot drivers to work.. I need to reformat my laptop lol. So for now I will use flashfire.
[Fire Original Android Development] mbholm:
So, what are those ADDONS for? I thought you were supposed to set that if you wanted to use a custom DPI?
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
If you flash it you will get play services FCS. The add-on isn't needed anymore if you don't change dpi from build.prop.
[Fire Original Android Development] patt2k:
I have these 2 tablets one running CM rom and one running your version of SLIM. For some reason the one on SLIM has slightly worse graphics and not sure why. I thought it was bad icon pack. Maybe it's DPI or something?
[Fire Original Android Development] mbholm:
Hm. I guess I should try the CM rom. . .especially since I can't use the SlimRecents functionality in the restricted profiles anyway. . .I have noticed the wifi symbol doesn't have individual "waves" but is pure solid. . .figured that was just a theming item.

Any suggestions...?

thanks....
[Fire Original Android Development] csolanol:
What slim rom version did u flash?.

v2.3 doesn't include the aosp camera app but the icon appears in the desktop. You need to install a camera app from Play Store.

v0.14 includes aosp camera and it works perfectly.

[Fire Original Android Development] TalNum:
Hey guys,

Really n00b question here as this is my first ROM I'll ever flash, but long question short: I am trying to avoid Google and other trackers as much as possible. If I do not flash any GAPPS package with this ROM will I have a relatively pure AOSP experience with SlimLP? Is there anything else added here that that I should be aware of? Additions such as SuperSU and AdAway don't bother me, just more concerned about analytics and the like. Thanks a bunch.
[Fire Original Android Development] DB126:
Increasing Google and 3rd party apps have dependencies on code in Google Play Service which is responsible for doing much of the tracking. Even some roms (Nexus) need gapps components to function correctly. You can certainly run run CM12 and SlimLP w/o flashing gapps but some apps may not work correct or at all.
[Fire Original Android Development] TalNum:
Fair enough. I knew that coming into this having sideloaded Android apps on my Z10 without Play Services. I have gotten by fine so I am not too worried about app dependencies on Play Services. I try my best to use apps that aren't dependent on it and primarily pull my apps from F-Droid.

More or less I was just curious if SlimLP (without GAPPS flashed) had any proprietary coding to it that perhaps sent analytics back to Google or the like. By the sounds of things you're saying, it sounds like it doesn't so I should be fine. Thanks!

[Fire Original Android Development] DeathGrind:
well it said that opengapps couldn't be installed that i need a clean version of android. I cant recall what it actually said.

On a side note i found the slim gapps here

few things, that are strange is, when i install gmail app from the play store i instantly get unfortunately exchange services has stopped. Google Calendar errors out with 505 from play store.

I will try the nano open gapps and post back with results
[Fire Original Android Development] :
Slimrom has its own gapps. You'll find the download on first post. And other gapps won't work unless is slimlp gapps.

after that time i just installed slim rom via flashfire without any gapps, adb pushed flashfire to tablet then tried to flash gapps mini, same result. Any suggestions?
[Fire Original Android Development] mbholm:
Really? I guess I haven't used any google apps yet. I used the opengaps and hadn't noticed a problem.
[Fire Original Android Development] DeathGrind:
Thank you. I figured this to be the case. But the link in the OP for the gapps says not found. I found them eventually, but the gmail and exchange error is frustrating.

At least now i know to stop trying the open gapps :)
[Fire Original Android Development] :
Any gapps besides the slimlp gapps won't work on slimrom. The download page is down. I tried that myself when I used slimlp and got that error. Only understanding is slimlp provides its own gapps. In other words if your flashing a different gapps not the one slimlp provides then it won't work.
