Best ROM for my intentions? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using AOKP otter build 38 but it consistently has new issues appearing and I hate the lack of volume control in the notification drawer.
What I use my ROM for: Mostly video streaming from the XFINITY Player app. I'd like to play games more but 6/10 of them crash or have other issues that make them unplayable. Other than that I don't do too much web browsing or any other type of app.

Try Glazed ICS it's from hyperrunner.
Or CM9 based on SGT7 framework TWA-PRIV. it's a verry good rom.

Try gedeROM. v1.55 is the most stable but 1.6 and 1.65 have some performance improvements.

i'm using glazed ics and most of the games play well....

Well, it's not really a leak since the source is available - the XBMC guys have chosen not to make an APK available yet because it's not complete (lack of hardware accelerated video playback comes to mind). Anyway, the APK is from here: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/1/topics/136. It may be worth looking there from time to time as they say they plan to keep the APK updated.
Interesting. Wonder if the skins work like the linux version

So far iv only used 3 skins, 2 work perfect and the 3rd also works but there are some menus you cant assess like when you press left arrow on remote/keys.
Its not playing my MP3 over WIFI but it plays Videos in MKV and other file formats with sound but low FPS,
Movies,Pictures and most other things work fine when played from the SDcard/stick
UI is very small but usable.
Looks very promising

Im finding the menu issue is present with my favourite skin... Neon. Although I can get the sideways ones to pop out sometimes. I eventually managed to get the movies into slide view.... After lots of swiping and button pressing. I still dont know what made it pop out. Havent managed to get the to pop up when the view menu is at the bottom though so I cant get out of slide view.
All my mkvs etc play awesome straight from my network drive smooth as hell looking great

Crashes
Anybody else tried playing with this?
I had an old version that ran, but after downloading the nightlies lately, non of them run, they crash with an error that they can not load libxbmc.so, I checked the app libs folder and it is present and non-zero but it still doesn't load.
Anyone have any idea why?
My GS3 is stock, rooted 4.0.4 (BLG8).

Hi!
You can subscribe to the main XBMC post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813089
For SGS3 you have to download NEON version
Cya!

[Q] Pop up play?

Does anyone know if any ROMs available provide the Pop Up Play feature provided by the Galaxy S III as seen here:
http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/galaxy-s3-popup-play-video-20120620/
That would be sweet to have it on a JB ROM.

I heard Moboplayer has been updated to allow the pop-up video thing.
EDIT - Just tried it and yeah, it works great! Just start a video then hit the home button and the video keeps playing in a thumbnail. You can resize it and drag it around the screen to your heart's content.
EDIT 2 - Tested it out and it works great while browsing the net, playing games (Cartoon Wars, Major Mayhem etc) and eve while playing another video in Youtube.
Only time it crashed for me was when loading up Real Racing 2 but then again it is a buggy piece of EA Games crap so I wouldn't throw blame at Moboplayer for that.

You could use moboplayer , the latest version has an update which allows pop up playing by pressing HOME while the video is playing.
Otherwise you could Super video from S3 from:

I have been using this since ICS and it works perfectly on my JB too.

Im using slim rom which uses the aosp browser.
Every time i open a flash site i get "Browser isn't responding".
Mayne ill give cm a try. I was gonna check out carbon and PA also.
I have no problem viewing full desktop flash websites with Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.69 and Dolphin Browser + Jetpack. To increase the browsing smoothness even more, I have my device overclocked to 1.6GHz and set the CPU Governor to Performance and Tegra 3 Quiet Governor to Userspace so all 4 cores will be on 100% of the time locked at maximum overclock frequency.

Sounds like a bunch of wasted battery and overall tablet life to browse the internet...
I have mine set to 1.1 and interactive.
Browsing is smooth as ever and i get almost 7 hours screen on time everyday.
The only problem i have is the browser isnt reaponding message which is a flash issue.
I get it using every flash enabled browser only when i pull up a flash site.
Good apps:
Root explorer
Superuser
TricksterMOD
AOSP Browser
Flash Player

When connected to a power source plus I have it undervolted by 50mV. Otherwise I found Conservative with Runnable for 1-2 cores active works alright. The CPU temperature reaches 75 degrees celsius under overclocked heavy load although I'm not too concerned about "overall tablet life".

Why not try firefox beta and latest flash apk. I'm running on SmoothRom and have had no issues.

Firefox beta is really good I prefer it over aosp browser, Firefox beta seems to never crash or force to to close it, aosp browser does that to me a lot

I've tried aosp, Firefox, naked, opera, puffin, boat, maxathon, dolphin, Uc, photon, ninesky, floating, skyfire, lightning, galaxy, xscope, and exsoul.
I've tried about 10 versions of flash just to make sure it wasn't that.
And I've also tried pulling the aosp browser from cm9 to see if that would somehow work... (Knowing it wouldnt but I was desperate)
I'm on cm right now and its working fine ATM.
Thanks tho.
Edit: no, its not. Im going to try FF Beta again tonite but i think im done after this. Fckin sucks.

[Q] Few questions about the Play

Hi guys,
I'm about to travel and I was looking for a new device and I've thought of the xperia play as it can be bought really cheap these days
Though, I wonder :
Can it run smoothly, android 4.x, a minimalist nova launcher home, a custom keyboard, texting, a couple of web apps and of course PSX emulation ?
I don't even 3g or fancy features
Sounds like quite the dream to just text and call and be a swipe away to resume a bloody roar game in a train when I see my galaxy nexus stuck below 20 fps for psx emulation
Sorry if I'm not in the good section
thanks

Hi dude:
run smothly android 4.x : No , its laggy on new games
Nova launcher : YES , it can
Custom keyboard : Yes , it can
texting web : Yes , it can
PSX emulation : Yes it can
just FYI , i was waiting for 3 years for xperia play 2 , but never happened ... do i've alrease note 3
galaxy nexus have newer and much powerful hardware than play. if you cant get sufficent fps on galaxy nexus, you wont be able to get higher valules on play.
you will not be able to instantly switch between heavy games and apps, cuz play have only ~270Mb of free ram, which is not enough for even app only multitasking.
Maybe you can do smooth gaming when staying on 2.3. I've been using an ICS rom from Markpython for almost two years now. It was quite fast at the start but I must say that it's getting slower and slower in my daily use. I use more apps now than I did at first and perhaps the apps have gotten heavier over the years.
I don't even use the facebook app, I currently only have these apps running and don't have anymore space:
- Whatsapp
- Youtube
- Google maps
- Link2SD (this is a must, you need to use an app like this to force your apps to be installed on the sd card as the intern card is very small)
- Tinder
- 9gag
- NS (local train app for train times in the Netherlands)
- ES file explorer
I will be trying Mike's CM11 build now that wifi works soon so I hope that makes it better.

Looking for a daily driver that has all working apps (i.e. Netflix, Google play movie

I've been reading and searching the forums for weeks looking for an answer can someone point me in the direction of a good daily driver ROM for the galaxy note 8 (GT-N5110).
I would prefer non touchwiz but I'll take any and all suggestions. Every one I've found has a problem with one or more apps (i.e. Netflix, Google play movies).

I have two note 8.0 tablets... One with JB, which is awesome, and a KK version from eBay. I have both running stock OS and rooted with Google stuff removed. Customized using framework modules on both.
4.4.x has a broken governor, which makes for a terrible time with media apps. Music stutters when screen blanks, video playback issues, and a lackluster multitasking ability makes it less fun than JB.
To compensate I must run performance profile to clean up governor control with media apps. Some work better with ondemand and others may need other settings.
I upped my kk to use Note 4.0 Tablet Touchwiz and S5 apps including file manager. Could not do it without app settings to adjust DPI per app basis.
KK version looks cool and works OK, but I prefer JB even though it is less tweaked with out ui and s5 apps.
