Just started with modding my KF. I've got TWRP, FireFireFire, and got CM11 loaded up (following the guide from the CM wiki), but I can't seem to get GAPPS that work. I've tried a few of the more recent nightlies and both GAPPS for CM 11 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps

Should I try the CM12 GAPPS? The 10.2? Is there a special KF version I need?

No, use kitkat gapps with cm11
There are several options in my list.
Try PA gapps from March 8th or so.

sd_shadow's [Collection] of GApps
Or a minimal gapps

Don't use full gapps, try micro, pico or a minimal.

Here it is. CM 11.0 with long battery life. The ROM is compiled with the Sabermod tool chain and JustArchi compiler flags. Enjoy. :)

I suggest that you start your own thread, if you are planning on continuing to update this.
Then you can update op, upload roms to xda...
up to you of course.

I feel stupid for not noticing this is the wrong thread. Thank you for informing me.

I suppose I could maintain the ROM. I'm not sure what else I could do except try compiling it with linaro to see if that improves performance. That is to say, I don't think any development is being done for the KK branch any more. I suppose I could play with the kernel sources some more to see if I can get some more performance out of it. The switch to the LP kernel makes everything a little slower or lag a bit more. I consider the battery life worth the cost, though.

Is anyone interested in further development of this?

I am also interested, but would like the otter rather than the otterx. I switched back when the development stopped, and have found very few gapps links working. Battery life was a killer. LP lagged horribly, KK was useful. I suppose I could go back to otterx, but really enjoy not having to charge the kindle for 2 weeks.

it's strange to read "go back to otterx", since otterx is newer :D

any development for KF is welcomed. I switch back and forth between otter and otterx, and currently on otter, whichever is fine, as long as it has decent battery life. my KF is on standby most of the time



thanks :)

Otterx

There is actually misunderstanding. We are talking about otterx rom version, not the otter. Yes wrong discussion, but started accidently here.

Anyway, I would never leave otterx. One and only storage is the only way for me. I would go for Hashcode's otterx lollipop, but it is still a bit not-ready, I guess. But there are other developers making roms for otterx. I think, there is no reason for going back to otter.

This ROM is running very well on my Otterx. Thank you for the continued development.

@pfederighi ". . . In case anyone is wondering, Netflix 3.0 works fine . . ."

Have you got a link to Netflix 3.0? Android Police doesn't seem to go back that far.

    STEP 1: DOWNLOAD TWRP 2.7.x.x and UPDATE (REQUIRED FOR 4.4):
    EDIT: @Dees_Troy has an official 2.7.x.x w/ SElinux support here:

# back in your PC shell
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-otter.img

    If you have problems with that file and/or don't want to use adb/fastboot flash method, you can download a flashable .zip from the following locations. Use your existing recovery to flash the update:
    Mirror 1: Download (Goo.im)

    BEFORE FLASHING ANDROID 4.4: PERFORM A WIPE + ADVANCED->FORMAT SYSTEM TWRP.

    STEP 2: DOWNLOAD A BUILD OF CM11.0:

    • [01/17] Updated SGX/PowerVR driver to latest binaries from omapzoom (still showing 1.9@2166536)

    • [01/07] Battery life / sleep improvements

    • [01/06] Update wifi firmware to R5.SP3.06
    • [12/16] Fixed Deep Sleep
    • [12/15] Added multi-profile fix

    CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES:
    • The headphone MIC input is not functioning correctly yet. Work in progress.

    KERNEL FEATURES:
    • [08/12] Mainline version updates to 3.0.72 updated to current with Google's kernel/common
    • [01/06] WLAN Firmware R5.SP3.06

    • [11/07] WLAN Firmware R5.SP3.03
    • [09/05] Updated to SGX/IMG DDK 1.9.RC2@2139099 for Android
    • Based on TI kernel 4AI.1.7 (3.0.31 mainline) which supports 512M memory mapping needed by the Kindle Fire
    • Uses ducati binary from TI based on rpmsg 1.20.5.11 (replaced Archos ducati binary from ICS 4.0.3)
    • Kernel audio: Added a switch device "h2w" which allows the OS to recognize headset plug events and adjust audio capture routes accordingly. Translation: OS can recognize we have a MIC input via headset now. (NOTE: that audio recording is still not working at this time. Tho it is very close).
    • MUCH better standby / sleep function. The device will go inactive for much longer periods of time (80-100 seconds) while still waking up appropriately for wifi events, power button triggers, etc. And this is still going to get even better when I re-implement DPLL cascading and the charger fixes coming later.
    • Many bugfixes pulled down from TI's omapzoom sources.

    UPDATED 2013-11-25 for CM11.0/CM10.2/CM10.1

    DEVELOPER BUILDING:
    Several patches are outstanding in CM's review so building this from source is currently not an option w/o some Cherry Picks:
    Patch 1: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53917/
    Patch 2: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54562/

    And I'll be updating more of the cm11.0 gits tonight w/ changes to the build / extract files processes.
    Won't get a decent build till that's all done.


    KNOWN BUGS:
    1. EHCI USB 2.0 isn't able to be add to the kernel w/o it crashing. Need to fix for higher speed USB transfers.
    6. Headset recording via the MIC input jack doesn't work


    DEVS
    BUILDING THIS ROM:

    First, read through Google's Android website about "how to setup a build environment":
    http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

    Then you can setup the Kindle Fire by doing the following:
    mkdir android
    cd android
    (Use main repo for CyanogenMod 10.2)
    repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android -b cm-10.2
    repo sync
    vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
    . build/envsetup.sh && brunch otter

    [09/16] CM10 STOCK + 4AI.1.7 KERNEL [STABLE]
    Download Here
    md5sum: b5746745f62c20ed5f6a2520ca506982

    Changes for 09/16:
    • Charging is now fixed. Including basic OTG support. Test away and I can make tweaks as needed. There may be a bug where adb doesn't restart after OTG devices are enabled.
    • Backlight / Panel driver updated. This was probably causing some of the battery drain.

    EDIT: "now" fixed.

    Enjoy.

    I just wanted to do a quick update:

    Got my new device yesterday, and immediately put twrp, fff 1.4a and ICS on it.

    Should be good to pick up where I left off w/ the kernel now.

    Hope to have a new version in a few days.

    New kernel/ROM based on the 4AI.1.7 release are getting a lot better (IMHO) so I'm probably going to do another kernel/ROM release here soon.

    Here's an update of what's coming in the next release:

    1. Kernel Audio source: Added a switch device "h2w" which allows the OS to recognize headset plug events and adjust audio capture routes accordingly. Translation: OS can recognize we have a MIC input via headset now.
    2. Audio HAL module: updated to TI's latest source to help with #1 and future support for USB audio, etc.
    3. Lights HAL module: removed conflicting battery light operations. The kernel manages the battery light entirely. The OS should almost never do anything with it.
    4. (NEW to JB) Power HAL module: used by the OS for temporarily kicking up the CPU during certain events (using the interactive governor) -- this makes the system more responsive. This feature is also still under development over time and I'll continue to update it.
    5. HW acceleration / graphics buffer system: Completely updated sources from TI for the hwcomposer, libion and other graphics / buffer systems
    6. Along w/ #5 I was able to roll up to the latest PowerVR driver 1.9@2130229 (up from 1.8@945322 in the last build). I noted right off the bat
    less GL issues and smoother game play.

    I may take a night or 2 and continue to play with the MIC settings to see if we can get it working, and that would be the delay in this release (if any).

    But, in general, the build for the Kindle Fire is a getting a lot cleaner (IMHO). And that's always a good thing.


    Still working on:

    - Memory management: I'm still not happy with how the OS is unloading certain processes at times (acore?!), and I'll be working with some of the ROM devs to setup better memory management in this main sources at GitHub. No reason why every dev should need to work that stuff out.
    - MIC function. Getting close, but I need to probably spend 2-3 more nights following audio routes and watching the OS setup the Audio input devices when the headset is plugged in.
    - Charger function. This is the big kahuna. Been a while since I worked on it, probably time to jump back into it.
