Just a heads-up, 6.2 went live a bit ago.

System dump 6.0_user_1021920 Uploaded

This is a dump of system 6.0. not the new 6.2

IT CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM HERE:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] manifest3r:
Glad someone got it up! :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bill.g:
Well this is great news, as I am sure there are many people that are eager to get this on their fires.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a1exus:
how did you even install that ROM? Which recovery were you using?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MichaelVash7886:
Quick question Jackpot, how is it running? Smoother than Kindle Fire stock? Just curious.

Really good job getting it going.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] phillyman02:
I wonder if the system app OTASilentinstall.apk being removed will help. Mines already updated or I would try.:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] blauciel:
Mine hasn't updated. I just renamed it. We'll see.

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire Android Development] blauciel:
LOL! It hadn't updated, but apparently had already downloaded the update. I turned it off to reboot, and it installed the update. Oh well... My wallpapers are all screwed up again... That file was renamed, too.

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
I tried freezing it we'll see what happens.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] EABonney:
I froze mine with Titanium and either it didn't work OR more likely it had already downloaded the update on me and I didn't know it. I still have it froze so we'll see in the future.

I really think Amazon needs to come out with some kind of "fix" for this. It is our device and we should have the option to NOT do the updates or at least do them when WE choose.

-Eric
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
It should be in /cache if its downloaded I'll check.

Edit...Nevermind. It must have updated itself in the middle of the night.....>.<
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
I'll poke around the stock system for where it looks for updates
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hitsndc:
I agree, Amazon is blessed right now, what happens when or if a update bricks alot of devices? They really should allow us the option of updating. Also some of the features in the new updates take some of the functions we previously had. Hopefully we get a kernel soon..I would love ICS
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chuffykow:
I don't think this is really a problem. Either Amazon will send out an update that locks down the bootloader, or they won't. If they do decide to lock the bootloader, that will eventually be baked in from the factory, leaving a (comparatively) small pool of unlocked devices.

Once CM7 or some other non-Amazon provided OS is built, their OS updates will have no impact on the device, since we clearly won't be downloading and installing them.

Basically, if they ever decide to lock the device down (unlikely to happen), development will come to a halt because there will only be a finite pool of unlocked tablets available in stores and on eBay.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
The kernel isnt the only reason ICS builds wont boot. But its definitely gonna be a while before ICS is available.

You guys do realize we do this for FREE right? And we have families, and jobs, oh and a life...We don't get paid for this. Its something we like doing. When people get impatient and ungrateful it makes us want to say '**** it'.

Just sayin'
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
It functions 100% meaning there are no hardware bugs or missing features. The only thing that would make it better is if the scrolling on the homescreen were smoother. It's a little choppy right now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
Removed. Removed
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hitsndc:
Lol, I realize you guys do this for freeeeee and I am most grateful! :)

I hope that Donations and Fame make you guys feel better, but I know we all (non devs) appreciate what devs have been doing. Thank you so much and I hope things continue to go positive with your personal lives and skills. Sorry if i sounded like a ungrateful bastard ,lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DangKid:
I'm loving the progress on what the developers are achieving on this! Keep up the good work. I have two unopened Fires in my room that I haven't had time to open up and mess with yet. But all the activity here is making me excited to play with it!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chad24taylor:
...Don't ask for ETA's.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Dude Really...

dude... really. This device has been out less than a month and you are being like this? It will come, but in XDA forums you don't piss off the OP. The Devs/Chefs do wonderful things for us ON THEIR OWN TIME and FOR NOT A DIME!!! You should be respectful and tell them to take all the dang time they need. READ THE RULES! YOU DON'T ASK FOR ETA's,:mad: especially in Development forums. I hope you get a temp ban for being an idiot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xdahgary:
How about a youtube video? :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
Being like what? I did not know there was no asking about when we might see something. I do realize they work for free in this stuff and am willing to help for free in any possible.

My apologies to jackpot. I didn't mean anything by that. Also, were you able to download the 6.0 system dump I uploaded last night?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MichaelVash7886:
Good to hear Jackpot. Great work getting it running so well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
I second that jackpot. Really appreciate the work you are doing.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
everything is running okay, the only noticeable bug right now is this if you look at the numbers above the letters, some numbers are missing

i just wanna make sure everything is in ship shape, and i will play with that pulled system and try to get the light sensor working. expect a release sunday night
[Kindle Fire Android Development] stranula:
Well that's a weird bug. Sunday, fantastic, can't wait for it. Thanks for the work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soundslikemitch:
You are my hero. And after we will all work on cm9/ ics. I love you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
OHEMGEE CM7 SUNDAY!!! You Da' Man beer money coming your way Sunday mos'def.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
after trying the new files for the light sensor, it reads that it's there, but does not actually measure anything. before when it was nonexistent, it now shows up as active on zdevicetest, but it doesn't actually measure any luxes. perhaps it only works with the kernel from 6.0. anyways, i don't think it will be much longer before amazon gets it straight
[Kindle Fire Android Development] publicanimal:
Very clever! That seems to be the obvious solution to the "only one button" problem, but I'm not sure that I would have thought of it. Then again I'm not really a developer either, just a self-taught modder.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MichaelVash7886:
They also look really tiny, but that could be something about the screen shot or the Kindle Fire Keyboard. Haven't gotten the chance to see the keyboard in person, gotta wait til Christmas to open mine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ryanng:
Thank you for your amazing work~~ We all appreciate that. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jtaliaferro:

How are you dealing with the lack of physical buttons?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
Uh ohhh... He defied all odds and gave an eta of Sunday. Now watch this thread exploooode Saturday night around 11:59p.

Oh no, wait a minute.. It's already exploded with useless posts praising him for simply giiiving an eta :-!

I can't wait for this either, but damn ppl.. Chiiiilllllll..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chuffykow:
It's a built in feature of CM7 called Tablet Tweaks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kelliez:
the stock keyboard that came with cm7 for my matrix was like that too, try the ice cream sandwich keyboard from the market
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Why cm 7? Why not a stock ICS build? "just because" would surfice :rolleyes: just got my fire a few days ago and, is awesome. I run cm 7 on my phone. No offense intended, just curious.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrJandD:
Just because.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
Because, alot of code changed. ICS requires a newer kernel. We dont have the resources to muck around with it right now. When it happens we promise you and everyone else will know
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
I wouldn't say that. I have an Inc2 and we're still using 2.6.35 kernels. You should just need updated drivers : touchscreen, cpu, gpu and libs. Since the Kindle shares hardware with the Nexus S (gpu) it shouldn't be too bad to cook into the kernel.

edit: I've had a few tonight so i may have this all wrong.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] randallu:
Better off starting with one of the OMAP4 ports (pandaboard, tuna). The SGX drivers are somewhat specific to the SoC.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
Still no point when we cant even get the 2.6.35 to build and work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
I will be so damn happy when Sunday comes Friday is my birthday so getting cm 7 on my fire will be a lateish birthday gift for me =p this is my first ever time getting a Android product Weeks after it was being sold =)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CrackMonkey91:
Lol yup this is my first time getting anything the week it came out besides video games
[Kindle Fire Android Development] magic140.6:
Sweetness, I have a new Fire tucked away till next week as a birthday gift.

Just moved my Inspire to the Beta ICS build today, moving the Fire over to CM7 will make me very happy!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] randallu:
Right, sigh.

I'm wondering what the delta on Amazon's kernel sources looks like from one of the other working android-2.6.35 OMAP4 kernels is (such as the Nook Tablet's). The kernel (and basic android -- one of the android.os.Build.XYZ strings is for the OMAP4 SDP) feel like they were probably done by the ODM and not Amazon, so it seems unlikely it's going to be totally different from the reference platform's kernel.

BTW, I really appreciate the work you guys are putting into this; I wish I had more time to contribute. I have a touchscreen fix (simple filter that discards the last 3 samples if a gesture is less than 20 samples long resulting in far more accurate tapping) which I can put in once there's somewhere to put it!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] blauciel:
After bricking my KF with a bad framework-res.apk, I discovered the factory reset does not go back to 6.0. It left the KF with 6.2.

JackpotClavin, just to confirm, you did DL the 6.0 file from my server? Trying to determine if I should leave it there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nguyenhonganh:
Wow, good job!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
You should try to keep it. It'd youcan't. Upload it to media fire or multi upload.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] arh2o:
Sounds like CM7 will come before a recovery. If something goes wrong isn't this quite risky without a way to recover?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
I downloaded the 6.0 system I don't need them anymore but others may

Installing cm shouldn't be risky if you follow directions. If you've never verified md5 sums before I'll teach you Sunday
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vanduhl:
so how can we go about trying this mod?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
wrong question
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
Careful. round here, people bite your head off if you ask the wrong question.

But, if you carefully read this entire thread, you will see that jackpotcalvin mentioned he thinks it will be ready for the masses sunday. Me personally I'm not going to hold him to this, as I know how difficult it can be to put an ETA on stuff like this. Anything can happen between now and then. He could have it ready sooner. he could have it ready later. it'll be ready when it's ready. But, no matter when it's actually ready, it's going to be a lot of fun. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lobstrain:
And that, dear friends, is all you need to know. Patience!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mipakr:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] atinm:
Waiting for you to post sources . . . only way for us expert CM7 developers to help out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
wow atinm u going to work on this device?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Sweet shiz cm7 (cm9) on my kindle! Yes please.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] atinm:
After someone has got it booting and uploads the source got github. Too busy on ICS for SGSII to start a new device from scratch.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
;)

yups CM gerrit has been a VERY busy place lately :D

keep up the awesome work mate!

cheers!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Kind of off topic but:

You know if anyone is working on CM for E4GT?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jackalook:
Congrats Calvin!!! Awesome!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CrackMonkey91:
Can't wait
[Kindle Fire Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
SGS as well!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
It appears that playing youtube videos makes the browser force close for those wondering

Edit: and sound broke in the latest build
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Need testers?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] atinm:
Yes, ICS for SGS as well but that is going better: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363593 - SGSII requires us rewriting the audio drivers, which is what I am doing right now.

If I had Kindle Fire github source, I could at least see what I need to do to get ICS rolling - but I don't have the time to do the initial boot of plain GB right now and going to let others get that done first. So here's hoping we see someone post source to github, both for a working kernel and CM (though actually, all I really care about is the kernel - the rest I could handle).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
CNET ftw
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Yes, trolls don't find 3 kindle fires for $15 a piece.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lobstrain:
MIUI doesn't exist on the iPhone. Therefore, it's not the truth.

Clearly, he enjoys having an Android device, and he likes what the MIUI team has done. So there is no need for those kinds of posts.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
Look I'm just saying. Miui is for all the iPhone fan boys
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
if you live in the ghetto like I do. "NYC" if you know the right people you can get anything for mega cheap
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chad24taylor:
Can we please get rid of the useless MIUI & ghetto Kindle conversations, please? Let's stay on topic - we've got some serious devs in here willing to give us a hand with cm7 & ICS...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Oh snap, j train east Ny. Ill give you 30 for one, double your investment.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
Kk dropped the posts
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shadowpr:
can it now connect to an ad hoc wifi connection?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
i have no clue
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Get wifi tether and set it to nexus one and netd settings.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shadowpr:
Do you mean wireless tether for root?

Edit: found other thread that explains it. Will ask there.

Original question stands for op. Can the fire see ad hoc wifi using cm7?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
CM7 should be able to
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
when I had CM6 on another phone it saw AD hoc.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
Yeah! Today is Sunday...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Hopefully, merry x-mas to us.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
OP updated, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Enjoy the CM7 alpha :-D

Gonna make a github and find out how to upload stuff now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
KUDOS to JackpotClavin
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iluretar:
awesome job, definately getting a fire for christmas now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
woot, now those are some instructions. I'm on windows hope ADB and everything works out for me. How long does it take to put things on GIT?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
JackpotClavin,

Is there any major known issue for cm7 alpha?

Btw, if in the future, i want to go back stock Kindle Fire rom, what should i do?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
github: https://github.com/JackpotClavin/

you need to pull the amazon one and the blaze one. in the vendor amazon one, there's the cyanogen_blaze.mk file that needs to be placed in vendor/cyanogen/products/

and you need to add cyanogen_blaze.mk to the androidproducts.mk in there too
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
totally confused... are above the answer for my question? sorry to cause a lot of trouble to u
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
Well done! Very, very tempted to flash but....what works and more importantly, what doesn't?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 0xdroid:
Can log and last_log files be empty files ? When I downloaded last_log, it seems to be the same as log. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Seems a little awkward. log says it is log when the media fire page pops up, but then seems to save it as last_log

Both seems to have the same contents.

Whats the procedure to go back to stock if necessary?

I'm scared to try this without going back.

the 2 times I tried CM7 on my galaxy S, I always had weird problems, home button just made phone vibrate, no incoming calls, and lots of misc issues with stock apps.

Since I'm not using any feature of the kindle that is by amazon, CM seems like it would be better for me in this instance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Unheard:
When you put them on the SDCARD, rename them to log and last_log.

Also, a slight correction to you instructions Jackpot, after the adb push of the stock recover image, you will need to adb shell again to flash it, and the command you give to flash it lists the updaterecovery.img instead of the stockrecovery.img.

Aside from those, great guide, and thanks a ton for doing this. I just booted into CM7 successfully.

EDIT:

A minor request, and not sure if possible, but could you add a home button to the basic functions at the bottom of the screen? It helps when you are 6 levels deep in something, and want to get back quickly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
How is the CM7 alpha?

I am very tempted to flash my fire into CM7 too, but I don't know how to go back to stock ROM in case I need to send it in for repair. :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Unheard:
Well I'm only 5 minutes in. It seems to run well. No FC's yet. The back button works in CM7 (unlike Amazon's junk). It does run a bit slow in changing home screens, but I'm wondering if hardware acceleration was enabled in the build.prop (haven't checked yet).

The instructions are 95% flawless, sans the two things I pointed out. After flashing clockwork, I did have to reboot twice to get CWM to come up. Everything else seems to be 100%.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
I had no issues with CM7 on my SGS, used to update it quite regularly with the nightlies before I upgraded to the SGS2.

I'm guessing that when you've booted with Jackpot's recovery you'll need to do a 'reverse' of the 'dd if=/sdcard/updaterecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery' and write a backup.img to the /sdcard, so if you need to reverse it you can recover it to your previous Amazon setup.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
Sounds Great!! Can I ask if you know how to go back to stock ROM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
Great to hear this!

Looking at the build.prop, your thoughts are correct.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
Does everything work? Wifi, USB, audio, video playback, etc.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bahman2000:
the correct command is:

dd if=/sbin/stockrecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery

I'm IN CM7 on Kindle Fire!!!

it's very fast compared to my N1, but sometimes freezes for a few seconds on scrolling, etc.

i don't think sound works.

THANKS OP!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Clockwork just checks to see if those two files are there, they really don't mean anything, under settings, cm settings, and tablet tweaks there should be an option to customize what buttons you want on the bottom. Home is one of them but it's not checked off on default

And whoops, just fixed that. Thanks for pointing that out guys :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
Anyone know how to go back to Stock ROM from CM7??
