Hell should freeze over before Amazon repair your Kindle under warranty.

You have done NO RESEARCH on this have you?

Installing this rom VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY.

I really hope Amazon does not repair it, since you are being so ignorant.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Handshake87:
Can you all please stop *****ing and get back on topic? If you do not have a solution for the sound issue then please don't comment.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brian112358:
The media_profiles.xml file that Jackpot mentioned is missing is in /system/etc. I've attached the media_profiles.xml file from the STOCK ROM (I haven't flashed CM7 yet).

I'm not sure if this'll work for fixing sound, but if anyone is adventurous enough (again, I'm sorry for not testing this out first), try pushing the media_profiles.xml to /system/etc.

I guess I'm obligated from the previous posts to say that this has NOT been tested at ALL, and if you brick your device, it's not my fault. You've been warned.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Firehwk:
I'm sorry, but you seriously need an attitude adjustment.

I would suggest re-reading the rules (stickied to the top of every forum)

mainly these three sections:

2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.

2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.

2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

But, back on topic, Thank you Jackpot for getting this out so quickly, I am eagerly awaiting your ICS rom (no rush though, it'll be done when it's done).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Moved the xml file to /system/etc rebooted, still no sound.

I'm gonna try the media_profiles.xml from CM7 on the nexus.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
okay i just did it twice. you will have to fastboot flash a backed up system.img and a boot.img that i'll provide for you. it will do some herky jerky things after you flash these two files, it'll reboot a few times and it'll do a data wipe and then it'll reboot successfully back to stock
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Tried the media profiles from CM7 for the nexus s 4g, also still no sound.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
And I just tried the Media_profiles.xml from the CM7 for nook color.

I'm wondering if the missing xml file is issue or not.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Whiskey103:
Thread closed!

Its time for cool down period.

Cleaning the mess up.

Edit: okay i cleaned the mess up. if i have to come back its not just cleaning.

This time just a warning.

Keep it nice and friendly please.

I will reopen the thread, but subscribed now, so i will follow it very closely.

And when i see a boo or baa, infractions will be flying.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
Thank you sir
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
skimp. I dont think its the issue. I tried the same and it did not work.

Edit: it must not be all of the issue. I looked through many roms's system/etc/ and it is present in all. Interesting though there is another file in etc that is missing named asound.conf which i found in all of the cm7 builds i looked at. Theres probably a bunch of other things that need to done however.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
asound.conf didnt' do the trick either.

new stock restoration guide thread made under the dev section. help the noobs in that thread if they get stuck
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
All the lib files for audio seem to be in place as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
That was a bit unnecessary. Just because there was flame going on doesn't mean their conversations were spam and useless, some had good information in them. Oh well. -_-

On topic: This ROM makes me wish I hadn't gotten the Prime trial, then got hooked onto a series on Prime. I'd rather not have to use prime w/flash via a browser. Anyone tried copying the instant video app to the CM7 port?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] publicanimal:
The latest version of the Amazon Instant Video app seems to work on just about any un-rooted device running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) according to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347745

As CM7 is based on Gingerbread, copying the app to the CM7 port should work, and as on the stock ROM you would need to temporarily unroot to watch videos. I'm not sure how valuable that would be currently since the available CM7 ROM doesn't have sound.

I'd try it myself but I don't personally have a KF, I'm just helping a good friend modify his KF since it's his first Android device and I've been around the Android block a few times.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
I respectfully disagree. You had people calling people retards..poking fun at their ethnicity and more.. there is just no place for that here.

Edit.. i do agree if some useful knfo got wiped out in taking out the garbage..shame oh well.

Now back to the issues at hand.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a1exus:
so, what's pro and cons installing cm7 on my akf right now?

is it stable?

is wifi working? is everything working there?

is there a way to roll back? (backup of existing)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Quantas:
It's very stable, only issue is no audio. To get back to stock there is a different thread in this section that details it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Wifi works, I think everything but sound and maybe hardware acceleration. You can roll back, allthough I have not tried it.

Pros, smoother overall experience, once you get market installed correctly more apps are available for the device, a lot more options and settings that you can mess with.

Cons, no sound, apparently youtube crashes, the process of putting CM7 on you're kindle can be a bit daunting if you're not familar with ADB commands.

All in all I would say I am very happy with it thus far, one possible bug I've found, and maybe it was just me installing different keyboards, but my keyboard doesn't seem to do any correction or prediction at all, even though its enabled in the settings. I did install and later uninstall an ICS keyboard, and I'm not sure if it stopped after that, or if I just didn't notice untill then.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
I've been following this thread and I haven't heard anyone mention sideloading the amazon appstore back on, so does it work? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] michintom:
You can download the amazon app store app directly from the android market.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
Anyone wanna try it out?

Any brave souls who have flashed this want to give the instant video app a whirl? (I know your sound isn't working)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asatnik11:
Im seeing the same problem with the stock keyboard on a fresh install. It appears to be missing the dictionary. Anyone know where to find a replacement dictionary?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
I'm on it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
The amazon video app runs, but unless I'm stupid, there seems to be no way to login.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
Thanks! Once they get sound working I'll definitely move over! The wallpapers changing is annoying, and having to have it unrooted all the time because I can't use root and use instant video is a hassle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
Heh, took me a sec on my phone too. Just buy a free video and it'll prompt for a log in.

*edit* Walking Dead had some type of preview that was free.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
Just choose a video to "buy" and it will prompt you to sign in.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lobstrain:
I'm starting to think I'm one of the few people that actually likes the changing wallpapers...

Would there be a way to port this functionality over to CM7? Is there an app that already does this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
I actually like it, but I want more functionality, especially on the lockscreen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
I'm curious. Sorry if I missed a message on this in the thread, but how does it work not having dedicated home/search/menu/back buttons running CM7? I know ICS solves this with all soft buttons, but what does CM7 when you don't have permanent buttons?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] grzew:
Can someone help me with installation google android market on CM7 kindle fire?

I already have installed it, but can't download any app. Anybody can help?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Mmmm looking sexy. Dunno bout the keyboard though.

I liked the simply honey one on my galaxy s.

Is it me or does with every keyboard release, the space bar shrinks, and more crap is on the bottom right?

Swift keys split keyboard seemed ok, but then I realized how many of the middle keys I alternate left or right thumbs so then I slowed down typing some words because id normally change it up.

We like answering the same questions repeatedly. I think it helps with post counts.

But is anyone working to get a fiz for the KF CM7?

Don't get me wrong, I don't have the necessary skills to do it, just want to know if I should wait for it or flash the CM7 the way it is.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Well Clavin said right after releasing this that he was working on ICS port. Usually when someone starts on the next project, the other is abandoned. He did it as a test to make sure he could get it up. Its up, so ICS time. I don't recall any mention of update coming.

I've posted a few videos at Liliputing and at YouTube, but my post count isn't high enough to post the links here.

Does Bluetooth work with this port? Is it even possible?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hazard666:
The fire isn't capable of bluetooth.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] riverzhou:
Not sure yet.

A custom kernel is first.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moriz1:
I heard that the kf has the hardware for Bluetooth, but it was never enabled. Kept running into forum discussions about why Amazon chose not to enable it.

Maybe I'm wrong about it, but aren't mobile wifi adapters have Bluetooth built in?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Mobile wifi adapters with bluetooth builtin have bluetooth builtin.

Just because it's wifi doesn't mean they toss in bluetooth, and vice versa.

The chip they use for wifi coincidentally has bluetooth and FM radio features.

Whether they ever find a way to set them up is something else.

I could sell you a TV with an hdmi plug on it, but inside just cut a wire. All the troubleshooting on the outside wont help. Theres no telling what they might have done on the inside to prevent it from ever working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Quantas:
I'm pretty sure iFixit said there was a Bluetooth chip inside this bad boy.

http://www.ifixit.com/blog/blog/2011/11/15/kindle-fire-teardown/

Specifically: Jorjin WG7310 WLAN/BT/FM Combo Module
[Kindle Fire Android Development] blauciel:
There is a chip, but is it wired properly? It has been verified there's no antenna, either.

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eastyuk:
I believe that's just the SIP. inside that its a WLS1270 which sadly does not have bluetooth. google "rfm wifi bt"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iluretar:
It could work without an antenna if it is wired properly inside, with a smaller range but it would work like it does on the nook color, lets hope for it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
Correction. Underneath the SIP is a TI WL1271 Which is Capable of Wireless b/g/n Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and FM Radio Transceiver

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

Depends on how its wired, It could just be tied in with the Wifi Antennas

[Kindle Fire Android Development] derik123derik123:
Nah, miui is a great rom..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
Ahh. Dunno where I was getting WL1271. Its a WL1270B which MAY or MAY NOT have bluetooth. Turns out the WG7310 has different versions. The one in the Fire is a WG7310-30 which is WL1270B and CAN support bluetooth. At this point I'm slightly confused. Pic of the Jorjin SIP Chip :

Bounty

Would anyone else be interested in chipping in for a bounty to fix the sound on CM7?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] N23:
A bounty for ICS would be far better :D And working Bluetooth :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
ics is already ported. Withh broken wifi and sound
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
So everyone is saying the sound is broken - is it all around sound or just speaker sound?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] N23:
Oh really? I haven't noticed that :D *irony*

Beside the CM7 port (in which sound is not working) there is no available custom rom, no custom kernel and at all no fully working rom.

So i'm only happy when there is a fully working ICS rom with bluetooth - but until then there is much work to do for the developers, which are doing such a great job!

keep on hacking guys and thank you very much for your effort!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
It's surprising there aren't any custom ROMs beside CM7 yet, I've seen other Android devices get ROMs less then a week or two after their release.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
It's because most are based off of device source... The KFs base rom sucks. If I we're a DEV I wouldn't want to mod the stock KF rom either.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Get my device early next week probably. I'll be working on ICS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigjkcfan:

Thanks, it explains the rooting procedure. But still my question remains:

Sure, I have a SDCard laying around here somewhere,and I can copy the CM7 zip to it. But how do I connect it to the KF? :confused:

Again, what am I missing?

*Edit* I am missing that connecting the Kindle to your PC the USB storage is named 'your sdcard' here, and that the internal memory apperantly of the Kindle Fire is apperantly mountable as the SDCard. Thanks anyways.

Thanks,

Cheers,

/Cacti
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brian112358:
The "sdcard" is a partition of the Kindle Fire memory that gets mounted when you enable USB storage, so you just enable USB storage, then copy the files over from your computer through USB.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
Open whatever file manager you have on your kindle and youwill see a directory /sdcard, they are not talking about a physical card.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moriz1:
Sdcard in this case refers to the folder, where all your app storage data and downloads go, not an actual sdcard. if you connect the kf to your computer, the folder that pops up is the sdcard folder.

CM7 has it in settings > CM Settings > Tablet tweaks. At least it does on my phone. Not sure about the extra icons for search etc on the LHS of the bar.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chuffykow:
This is a kernel-level change. Since a kernel hasn't been built yet (not for lack of trying, thanks Amazon), this ROM is running the same kernel as the stock Kindle OS. In other words, whatever the Kindle does, this does right now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
update:

i got the touch sensors and screen oriented and i'm able to navigate like a normal tablet now. a few things i've noticed:

battery life shows in 1% increments and it charges normally (phew)

wifi scans, but it doesn't connect

egl works, but scrolling is somewhat sluggish at times

screen rotation works and is actually pretty quick

mounting the sdcard to a computer works

brightness is set to 100% as automatic brightness is not configured yet (might be missing a library)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] pestilent:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lobstrain:
Amazing! Way to go Clavin! Can't wait for this!

I am also curious about being able to flash back into the stock Kindle Fire ROM, but I suppose we have to wait for a solid working recovery first.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soundslikemitch:
This just means ICS is closer than me thought. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
If anybody knows somebody about to buy a fire or is about to buy one, can they pull the system BEFORE updating? They need to not connect the kf to wifi on the initial boot any bypass it, then install the necessary changes to have the kf recognized by adb, then do an adb pull /system to their computer and upload it. I'm guessing amazon removed their light sensor from one of the libraries in the new build, but the old one has it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soundslikemitch:
I believe if you factory reset it goes to the original software that is came with. Not the update.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] le_cactus:
Thanks all. Now it's time to order one :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
I recommend reading up a bit more on android devices.

Sd card or not, it has an sd card as its default storage. When you stick an sd card into a droid phone like Galaxy s, thats really the 2nd sd card.

So sdcard just becames the name of the partition set aside on the memory for storage.

Like if I name my windows pc macbook pro, it doesn't become a macbook.
