[Q] Is android 4.0.1 safe for everyday use? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone! I just installed glazed ICS rom, and am LOVING it, but I was just wondering if the version of android it uses (4.0.1) is safe for use. It's pretty old, but if I keep all the apps up to date, is it safe? Thank you for your time

Most certainly but I think there are other even more customizable ROM that are more Recent. Yes its safe, although there are still a few bugs left, and because there is no development you won't have them fixed or updated, there most likely won't be any support.

[Q]Help from people who know things ;) ROM question

A friend of mine has an EVO, I do not nor have I ever used an evo before. He wanted a custom ROM installed and asked me for help. I would greatly appreciate any help offered by the community.
1. What ROM is closest to stock(If gingerbread is out for it then a gingerbread build would be nice), just tweaked/debloated/deodexed/zip aligned etc.
2. How well is CM7 running on the EVO? I have a captivate and CM7 right now is pretty unstable this is going to be his main ROM and he isnt too technical.
3. What rom has a good/easy update flow. Maybe something with rom manager where he can just click update and all is well in the world.
Thank you SO much in advance.

There are plenty of stock roms and there is a couple gingerbread floating around somewhere i believe as well so your winning on that.
Cm7 i believe is very stable rom and many people enjoy it. Not me but people really enjoy cyanogens work.

Flashing a Custom (even stock) Rom and then not wanting to update to the latest and greatest...ya....ok....NOT. Your friend will get a taste of what this is like and BOOM...hooked. The Rom I linked has a great OP in support. Enjoy the fun that you already know is gonna take hold of the phone your about to set free!
EDIT: Thought I'm sure this goes without saying, but will do anyway. Remind them......DO NOT...accept OTA updates even if they can...just sayin..lmao
CM7 or Death! I played with a lot of Sense roms for quite a while, but I determined they are nothing but bloat. CM7 is superfast, and I couldn't ask for much more in stability.

I'm glad to hear its stable. If he is willing to give up sense and cm is stable then I might encourage him that way.

Awesome! Thanks Zimeron.
It know it's probably just for you personal fullfillment but any plans to create a thread in the development forum? I have a feeling quite a few people would be interested. I for one at least would love to see future builds. :fingers-crossed:
I'm guessing too that the status of HWA and Butter are basically dependent on Evervolv. So, those parts of your builds will probably correlate with Evervolv's?
Thanks again, I'm looking forward to checking this out.

Nope. I've already stripped out a lot of things I don't use from the build that I ran today and plan to keep it that way. Drk-hd is working on CM10 looking at his github and I'm sure he'll do a better job than I can do.

Correct. Basically everything that doesn't work in any other rom doesn't work here either. The only thing broken that does work in the others (to my knowledge) is voice search (it never stops listening to you).
Great, thanks for the info and for sharing your build.
I'll just patiently await Drk_HD's builds.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using xda app-developers app
I've got a stupid noob for you about your CM10 build. If I wanted to build my own from the CM source and I followed Drk-hd's instructions in his github, I'm not clear how to incorporate the Evervolv inc code. I see a line where he grabs his github directory for the inc. I think the line he refers to as finishing setting up the repo. Should I replace his with the respective evervolv repo?
sorry, might be a dumb question but I'm new to the whole Android source code thing. Just looking to make my own builds so I don't have to wait for everyone else's.
Thanks for any help you might share.

Albinoman's Jelly Bean ROM boots and runs already. It doesn't have HWA, so the animations are a little slow, but overall, performance is pretty quick. All of the main features work just fine, including Google Now. The only big issue afaik is the non-working camera.
BTW, the Dinc is only 2+ years old (released end of April, 2010), but still very impressive that our old phone can still run the latest Android OS.

EV said they had HWA working on the nexus one and the only changes for that lately have been kernel related and the kernel base is the same for the Inc. Considering how much faster and smoother this build has been since using the new kernel changes, I'm assuming that they are related. If there's more to come to gerrit, then hot dog. For now, I'm quite happy with JB on the inc and any additional speed/smoothness that comes will just be the icing on the cake.

Reliable Rom?

I got my dad the A100 for his Birthday(54th) back in April. He uses it to play games like Angry Birds/fruit ninja, read books on the Kindle app, listen to music and surf the web occasionally. He enjoys it but he complains that it acts weird. It will boot him out of the kindle app, it will switch to another book that he isn't reading at the time, and some other buggy things. It is running the official ICS update. I was wondering if there is another ICS rom(or maybe JB) that is reliable. He is a casual user and doesn't need all kinds of crazy tweaks and customizations. Just needs his tablet to work right. I am familiar with rooting and flashing roms. I have a custom one on my phone, but not familiar with his tablet or the roms people have created for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Flex reaper is the most popular modded stock ROM and is stable.
I prefer CM10 but Id try modded stock just because ICS is what he is Familiar with.

If his main issue is with the Kindle app, I would start there, by reinstalling/updating. Even checking online for similar issues with the Iconia's and the app. Even something like a factory reset (backup files on the internal memory) may iron out some bugs, especially if it was an OTA to ICS.
But I agree if your set on flashing, Relix Flex is very stable and an ICS rom.
I don't like ROMs bloated with apps, cm10 was great for me, stable, fast and not bloated!

Well some idiots harrased the devs so many have stopped or taken their ROMs down. There are some good private builds, but your going to have do some digging. Im am not at liberty to discuss them, as asked by the devs who created them.

Idiots is incorrect, idiot is more correct... besides that now. Sdx may have something in the works but I don't think it necessary, I haven't found anything that doesn't work, and its quite fast. The private builds are an alternative method of activating the combined bar, don't ask me how, and I don't recommend them for everyone. Also, there's a super awesome memory usage bar.

4.1.2 smoothness..?

Hi All,
I have been using 4.1.2 few days now, and I'm really confused. This is not as smooth as expected. Launcher jerks quite often, not much but much more than in 4.1.1. Am I only one with this issue or do someone have similar experience..?
Thanks !

There were very few changes to the launcher in 4.1.2. Most dealt with orientation on larger screens (like the Nexus 7). So I don't see how it would be any less or more smooth than 4.1.1. Most likely, the user didn't do a clean install or they are just noticing small lags more because they are looking for it.

Cannot agree more. :good:
Maybe it's just a placebo effect but I think autorotation (landscape to portrait and vice versa) animation seems more fluid here than on 4.1.1 which I considered little jittery.
Thank you everyone. I am sure this jerks more than 4.1.1 in my device.. But if it works normally for everyone else then the problem has to be in my device/installation. Installation should be clean (done according installation script). One thing I'm wondering is Google Wallet. I downloaded image with wallet, but it does not seem to be enabled in my region. But neither that should cause jerking..?

Ok, thanks ! I have to try monitor apps if some of them causes lag (high cpu usage or something). If lag continues then I think reflashing might do the job.. Seems to be unique issue so something going on with my device.

ASOP roms may not have them, but should be included in stock.
Do a nandroid backup, flash and test. It is a very very small file to flash. It helped me with AOKP (AOSP).
Before flashing over 4.1.2, I flashed over a 4.1.1 and .... I think a got some additional smoothness, but .... as there is not accurate procedure to measure smoothness, could be only my sensation.

Well it may not be possible to get the full 4.4 kitkat for this device, however I am currently working on a rom that uses the godmachine 1.646ghz kernel to emulate in a sense 4.4. This is my first rom, so it is taking a bit of time. However I have so far modified the Auroa loader to look tasteful, more kitkat-ish, and already implemented a lot of other 4.4 items into the base rom. I have so far all of the wallpapers, the fonts, sounds, bootup, a new font called KittyKatt.tft, some of the 4.4 apks, and a few other items working. I still have to break down all of the other google 4.4 apks, and some of the source apks to make this work like I want. I am still learning this whole process, so any tips to make modding the acer any easier would be helpful.

Will it be possible to install and run Android 4.4 on this tablet? I know it'll never come OTA, but what about sideloading or flashing?
