Noobs questions..( not so noob really!)

hi all,
although i am not a noob to android, custom ROMS etc i am a noob to the eee pad transformer.
i have a few basic questions, which am sure more experienced people can anser in a jiffy:
1) whats the best root method for an up to date device? ie latest version of honeycomb and latest dock firmware. having scanned the forums i see a number of options, razorclaw looks the easiest to me, does anyone think not?
2) whats the best rom in terms of battery life and customability ( yes i am a customise freak!!). i.e i will want to OC and customise the innards out of it.. revolution rom seems to hit the spot so far, any other suggestions?
3) does anyone know if juice defender works on the eee pad? or is it better to use the airplane toggle app instead ( makes sense due to the lack of a 3G radio).
4) are there any kitchens to create my own custom rom?( long shot i know?!)
5) whats your favourite type of cheese? mine is a good strong, hard cheddar.
that is all.
many thanks

1. Razorclaw! its easy just run apk and actually your only option as the other methods do not work on latest updates.
2. I have only tried revolver. I liked so much did not bother flashing anything else. Compared to stock which i only ran for a day it seemed much smoother and battery is great.
3. I do not think you will need either.
4. ?? there may be something out there u can use.
5. Cheddar!

i see that with the revolution rom the dev has pointed out that his framework res can be used in the UOT kitchen, i have asked him for more details on this.
thanks for the quick response!

1.) Razorclaw, one click, done. So easy you will doubt at first you are rooted. (I did)
2.) Revolver with revolver parts... Nothing else like it.
3.) I use juice defender on my phone but found it useless on the transformer. The OS has the ability built in to auto disable wifi when the screen is off and that is all juice defender would do.
4.) Yes, and good luck!
5.) Sharp cheddar!

cool cheers!!
thats 3 hardcore cheedar fans now.
get in!
once i have rooted i will have a test of revolver first i think, seems to have the most customisable options so far.

Can someone clarify what's the deal with recovery on newer devices?
From what I can gather, if a device is B70 or newer, root and CWM can be installed easily, but NVflash will not work, so if the device gets bricked, or you need to claim it on warranty, there is no way to flash back to total stock including recovery?
Is this correct?

1. Razorclaw I think is the only one for newer like the B90 and everything.
2. I've tried Revolution and no offensive to revolution users I just found it a bit boring. I loved the browser that came with it and it was faster but there was little customization. I was originally hesitant to go with Revolver because I don't like the Xoom buttons and layout, but you can easily get the Asus Stock buttons and apps back. I am using ICS theme and I love it! I love how it even has the user agent option. It did not have that on stock. I noticed this the other night too but even when I do multitasking there is a little red X to close the window. I don't think that was there on stock. The opening animation is awesome too.
3. No idea what that is. I thought that android was really smart with the usage and multitasking and something about having 12 partitions. Sorry can't help ya there.
4. Isn't there a Chef ROM thing somewhere on the main forum sections? Never been in there but it says it's the best place to learn.
5. It used to be cheddar but I really love swiss now.

Did you try 'revolver parts' from the market? A free load of kernals, themes and many, many other options. All built be the same chap that built the revolver rom, by the way, he is only a young kid still at school. Respect to him

Am all rooted and suited now.razorclaw and on revolver rom. Am going to try the UOT kitchen and see if I can cook up some more mods for revolver.
Sent from my mind to yours using only the power of suggestion.

You an change the style of the buttons with revolver parts....

[Q] Does your Kindle Fire become unresponsive much?

So I tend to answer more questions that I ask on here, but now it's my turn!!
So, I've noticed at times that my KF is totally unresponsive from sleep. No power light, nothing. I have to press the power button for 20 seconds, then again to power on. This used to happen every so often on the Stock ROM.
However, since I've been on CM7 w/ TWRP/FFF, it hangs up every single day. At first I thought it was due to low charge, but it's doing it whilst the battery is over 90% full. I've had a nose around the CM7 settings and tweaks, but can't see anything obvious.
Running services at startup are:
Settings (presumably because I'm looking at settings to see this info!)
Google Services
Amazon Video (Not sure why this is running. I may uninstall to see if this is the problem) - Uninstalled. Will see how it goes.
DSPManager
Swype
Anybody else seen this? Anybody else got any ideas on how to resolve this?

Do a search for V6 SuperCharger and do some research on it I use it on my Fire and my 2 Android Phones it really helps with memory management

I've not experienced this problem. My kindle fire has been pretty much perfect and I've never had to force a reboot. I'm also using the Sywpe keyboard.

Thanks, but I don't think memory is the problem here (I have 282MB free system memory right now). Something is putting it to sleep permanently.
I guess it's going to be a process of elimination. I might possibly go back to stock to see if it's really CM7 or the device hardware itself playing up.

Wow, seriously?!
I *did* read about it, and concluded that it was a memory management app. Given my symptoms, I cannot find one example of where this app would help me, and I'm not about to install something that is possibly just going to add further variables to an already odd behavior.
Show me where you think it's going to help (specific examples), and I'll gladly accept your thanks/suggestions.
Until then, I would ask you keep your snark for sites like Slashdot.

You did not read about it if you had you would have known it is not an app but a Script.

Again, Wow Seriously?!
Your definition of me not reading is based on me calling it an app over a script!? Interesting logic there.
However, I'm still wondering how you deduce that this is going to help my problem, and hence why I asked for specifics. I'm quite capable of finding information, but it's like you saying to me "Dude, install Angry Birds, it will solve all your problems". My conclusion was that there was nothing in that post that specifies "This will also help your system if it sleeps permanently" (clearly I'm paraphrasing there, just in case that wasn't clear). If I'm missing something, I'm all ears, but blindly recommending apps for no reason is no help to anyone.

Other than almost every decent ROM you will find on XDA already has this built into it and it will help I will leave it at that.
You also may try to wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik I usually do that at least 3 times on my HTC EVO Shift when I flash a new rom before it runs good.
Try that and see if it helps.

It may well be the CM7 ROM that was compiled for the KF, but what also makes me suspicious now is for the number of reads on this thread, not one other person has said "Yeah, I have the same issues", which either leads me to believe its a resident app, or possibly something wrong with my hardware. I'll keep digging, and possibly flash back to stock (as I said).
For the benefit of doubt, I'll always do a Factory Reset, and wipe all the Cache/Dalvik Cache. It's something I've done since I was flashing ROM's on my first Droid. But thanks for the suggestion.

You may have a bad flash back up your apps and re-flash CM7 and restore your apps and see if that helps.
I have rooted and flashed a lot of phones and I have had that happen a couple of times I re did the flash and everything was fine.

I guess it's entirely possible. I'll do a Titanium Backup now, re-flash, and see what happens. But as mentioned in my OP, I had this happen on stock 6.2, just not as frequently, so I'll be hoping that it is a bad flash, and not something inherently worse.
See how much better this conversation is now!

Sounds fishy to me as well. Did you clear the caches when installing new ROMs? I've had mine since it was release and have yet to have it hang and I've had 6.1,6.2, and now CM7 running flawlessly

Your problem is a bit unique so I don't mind throwing out a few ideas.

Yep, I always clear everything when moving to a new ROM. It's a habit that was drilled into me during my first custom ROM exploits on my Droid. I've even told people on here to do it too, so I'm practicing what I'm preaching!
I think what I'm going to do is, reflash to stock 6.2.1, use the new root method, push TWRP/FFF again, and then CM7. A little drastic, but I think that having a clean run at this might prove/disprove the theory.

My stock rom does this occasionally. Have to hold the power button for 20 secs to reset it.

Yeah, this is happening a little too frequently for my liking. Occasionally is fairly OK, every day is not. But it has got worse since going to CM7, but that could be purely coincidence at this point.
Trying some different things right now, but it will be a few days before I know for certain.

This may not be the problem at all, but I'll toss it out here anyway. On some of my Archos tablets, I have had this issue where the screen brightness was set very low. Anyway, if your brightness is set low, you might increase it to see if that makes a difference. I don't remember exactly at what level this problem starts, but I think it is when it is set below 20%.

Thanks, that hadn't crossed my mind, but I like my brightness at a pretty high level, and as the sensor is not working currently, it pretty much stays at that level.
Back at stock 6.2.1 now. Going to root it and leave it like this for a few days to see what happens.

Not sure if you have resloved this issue, but having read most of the Forum Dev Thread for the CM7 initial release and the newest reboot of the first ROM I think many others are having this issue as well. I remember reading many post people were referring to something similar to your problem as "the sleep of death." I however am not having that problem with mine, but thought it might be helpful to know that it might not be your device specific and may be something with CM7 itself with some devices.

Pros and Cons of CM7 on KF?

Hi, the reasons I've bought the Kindle Fire was that I wanted a cheap tablet on one hand (whilst it's quite capable HW-wise) and it's ability to be customized (it's capacity to have 3rd party roms on it, etc) on the other. On that second point I'm sure that the community will work its magic in the coming months: my dilemma however is with what I should do with the Fire I *currently* have...
I've received it a couple of days ago and I found out that the vanilla ROM seems quite alright on in itself. It seems limited, but as long as one roots and installs the Market (almost) the whole of Android force is unleashed. The UI is not always functional but it does feel as a breath of fresh air in a landscape which is tatterered with clones of the same thing (Google's UI)...
Anyhow the purpose of this thread -as the topic title states- is to weigh whether the installation of CM7 on KF is a justifiable move (given what we have at hand) for everyday use. I do own other android devices as well and installing CM flavours there was -often- an easy move given the benefits (more hardware capabilities, cleaner/faster UI, etc).
But on KF things seem to be less clear cut. For one CM7 doesn't seem to do more than what the stock rom already achieves in either the hardware side of things (no new "function" is enabled) *or* the software side (the lag is still there, and Amazon has/had already done an admirable job to keep her device working without the need of any physical buttons).
So my question is to those who already made the move to CM7 for daily usage. Was it worth it for any non experimental purposes? Were there any discernable benefits compared to stock? (I mean considering how the situation is right *now*, not how things *can* be).
Thanks for your attention and sorry for the length of this post, it's only that this is the first time that I find myself in front of such a dilemma. Before KF I would often install CM on my device no questions asked, but now things seem less clear cut. Your opinions will be valued - again, thank you.

For everyday use i find CM7 more useful simply because the Fire launcher is convoluted. Nothing you cant achieve with a launcher, however launchers tend make pior use of the sceeen real estate. Also no need to worry aboit the root removing OTA updates.
The only downside i have with CM7 right now is the lacl of volume softkeys

Hmm, but how can a mere launcher be the whole reason to change a Rom? Why can't -one- siimply install one from the market?

"Volume Control" from the Android Market is great - it puts a volume slider that auto-hides on the edge of the screen.

Pros: It does everything the kindle does at stock and then more (If you want to use emulators and games, I would recommend it).
Cons: It is hard to set up the stock amazon apps on CM7, although possible. There is also a small chance of bricking your device if you do everything totally wrong and for some reason (like not following directions) cannot unbrick using the known methods.
The main difference for me has been that I can use different PDF software to read PDFs more clearly and that I can play emulators on it.

A con for cm7 right now is the CPU constantly being at 1008mhz when wifi is on...at least for me. I tried the mac address fix but it didn't work.

For me I feel CM7 gives you that tablet feel more so than the Amazon UI. Having customization is always one of the main things I look for. I do have Amazon Prime however I hardly use any of their services besides the shipping. (Netflix > Amazon Instant Video)
Also if you do everything right and make a back up of your stock, you can always revert back to it if you don't like what you see.

The browser is smother on cm7 silk loads a bit faster, but the scrolling feels smoother on cm7, also in stock firmware when you go full screen you cant get rid of the gray bar, on cm you can hide it and show it as much as you want.
How ever... i feel that battery life is a bit shorter, but not much, I don't know if anyone else has that feeling.

there are no cons to CM7. ITS THE GREATEST software. I just got finished with ice cream sammich and that is boring as heck. Flashing back to CM7 and leaving my Vision in the ice cream.

imo this should be included with the rom

I am running CM7 as a daily ROM at the moment, and I can say that it is much better than the Amazon stock ROM. When running stock you have to worry about OTA updates that can potentially remove root access and prevent it from being acquired again (until a workaround is found). Also, for me at least, CM7 seems to run much better than the stock ROM did, with little to no lag.

Even if you have Amazon Prime you can use Amazon services still. You just have to download the apps onto CM7. I have done this, but I forgot where I got the apk files.

A couple more notes on CM7 v Stock
I no longer have the issue where the Fire wont wake and I have to hold power for a reboot.
Inputs seem more responsive, I no longer have to press things multiple times or them to work, mainly back button was problematic.
Much greater app compatibility in the Marketplace.
Also, thanks for he volume control, just what I needed.

Interesting. I may have been misinformed. I have Amazon Prime, have for years. I realize that I can still install the Kindle app and other Amazon apps, but can I still receive Amazon Prime free Streaming videos and free Kindle owners lending library, etc. if I switch over to CM7?

I rooted just the other day, I run cm7 on all my other devices, I do not have interest in it beyond the app swap option and swipe lock screen. The stock build + market is all I need at this point. When cm7 develops into a fully stable option I will certainly switch but for now I don't reccomend it.

ICS kindle for android

Hi,
I'm experimenting with ICS. In kindle for android there are is no option to set line spacing and margins. Can anybody confirm this, or know a way how to set it right?
Because the default settings are too large.

Having the same 'issue' (if it even is one).
Find a way to adjust the settings?

i would wait until the builds of ICS get a little further along before expecting these kinds of tweaks.
the developers are working on bigger issues first, then all the mods and customizations will start rolling out

They're talking about the Kindle app on ICS. Not ICS itself.
I found the same "issue". Funny thing is, I installed ICS on top of CM7, only to find the margins changed after changing them on the phone version of it on CM7.
Tldr: it seems the variables are in place but there are no way to set them in the current app.
If Amazon doesn't add it themselves I wouldn't be surprised to see a fix. Matter of fact is I'll probably flash ICS tonight since they've got sound working. I could see if I can find the file controlling the variables if you want. Although I probably won't change it for myself.
Strange move on Amazons part though to remove the option on the tablet version.

Whew, after searching I found I am not the only one.
It is there in the Energy ICS 3.15 ROM. Dang.
I can adjust all settings in the CM7 ROMS (I have tried them all, or most if not all).
OK, back to the CM&KFire for now.

Kindle Fire - CM7 Barebones Rom - Extended Power Button Menu

I am currently running CM7 Barebones on my kindle fire and overall it is a great rom, but one thing in particular is bothering me.
I have the option in the CM settings selected, but no options for home, back etc. appear in the power button menu, all I get is screenshot, reboot and poweroff.
Anyone know how to fix this?

If it wont stick after a reboot than he prob took that out... if you really need it try smirkis cm7 or hellfire cm7 there both very solid

Lol yeah, I may give hellfire another try. I actually tried it first and then got rid of it because I thought the volume bar at the top was some kind of graphical glitch.
It's a pity though because I really like this rom, I just miss that one little feature.

I was able to flash hellfire over the barebones rom after clearing the cache's without any issue. Seems to be working quite well, although I think maybe it has a few too many customizations.
I don't think it should be overclocked by default, for one thing. It's nice to have the choice, but it shouldn't be default imo.

You can get set cpu from xda for free and turn it to 1GHz if it's to much for you. I would definitely recommend for any cm7 getting volume control by big red pepper on play store makes life easier

Yeah I got no frills already, its not a big deal, just something i would've done differently.
Then again, I have no idea how to develop amazing roms, so I should probably not be so critical.
Yeah, volume control is also definitely essential.

It is definitely there and works well. My guess is you had a bad install or have something else installed that may override the settings.
