Yep. Had to wipe data coming from Hashcodes CM11 and WiFi didn't want to connect straight away. It did connect after a while though.

I have also had a few graphical issues, in Play books app. Some of the menus are all dotty, then they pop to normal after a while.

Yeah...I've been lazy this week.

Just synced...and I'll start the build shortly.

**UPDATE
New build is up, just a source sync

facelessloser · Jan 11, 2014

multi window?

Does anyone know if this ROM has multi window surport. Or know of another ROM for the kindle fire 2 that does have multi window

obsolete1 · Jan 19, 2014

Weekly build updated. The proper SlimKat version (was showing 1.96).

Will get an update Antutu benchmark screen shot up scores went up slightly

Boot animation still offset at start hmmm....

thank you kindly!

do you mean it's still offset even with this merged?

no big deal, but i agree it's odd since the people over at the KF1s seem to have theirs fixed for a while now.

I can cherry-pick it and rebuild

**EDIT
No I can't that change is already there...

New to the KF2, what issues are present in this rom besides the boot ani, which isn't a big deal? Thanks and looking forward to some slim kat.

Boot animation may be fixed...kinda stuck with SlimKat 2.3. The 2.5 build isn't booting as of yet (2.4 didn't boot either hence no update last weekend).
You may have some wifi connectivity issues. But that is just initial setup, but once it does setup it stays.
I know the Carbon build has a quirk of the screen off animation rotates 90 just before the screen turns off.

Other than those no one has reported any.

Build is running great on my fire, zero issues. Great work!:good:
