Thanks for all the work! I decided to pick a couple more of these up tomorrow and put CM7 on for xmas presents. I've been watching closely eager to see this working and I'll certainly post some beer tokens to the guys responsible.

One thing I didn't see noted was the upper numbers on the Keyb still had some omitted. I switch the Keyb from US to UK and it seemed to fix this.

Thanks loads again.

Hmmm... Still no luck with a booting kernel....but ill chalk that up to being exhausted and not paying much attention.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
sorry for keep asking, but if anyone got issue to hardware decode mp4 video? in stock rom, it is ok.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
Just realize MAC address is the same for every kindle fire installed with the CM7! how to change that?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CrackMonkey91:
Has anyone had a problem when scrolling that it ripples. Like hold one side of screen scroll at a medium pace and see the strange ripple kinda thing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CrackMonkey91:
If you get on someone's network and play with it. If they ever try to track MAC they will never find you :-) just saying.. In no means do I say go do this. I'm pretty sure there would be another way to get you anyway.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] riverzhou:
Waiting for your good news...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
I think you might be able yo change your mac address with

idme mac <your-new-mac-address>

I think I remember seeing it listed when I ran "idme ? ".
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gerrynjr:
Just want to say this ROM is excellent. As soon as you said audio was working I had to try it. Initially video was stuttering, but over time became smooth.

Heck, even video playback with Plex works great.

Overall, the rom feels significantly faster than stock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
so what all is working?

Accelerometer?

Touchscreen still kinda off?

TY for anyone who answers
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kjwalker:
So far the only problem is see the light sensor doesn't work and (I believe) H.264 doesn't work. Something to do with the hardware decoders, afaik.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
k thnx =] i desided i didnt care and just installed XD

Raven's kernel is overclocked.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
overclocking cause any issues? Rebooting or locking up?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I've not had a single issue as a result of overclocking.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] djkeller3:
No issues at all. I run at full throttle all the time so SOD is not really possible and I've experienced no issues, no problems. My KF runs perfectly being overclocked.

Only thing that can be improved is smoother scrolling when web browsing or when scrolling web based apps. Mine can scroll rather stuttery, but I assume this is from a lack of RAM, which we know is one thing Amazon skimped on. Don't know of any way to fix that as it seems to persist even when overclocked.

Kindle Fire

ROM: CyanogenMod 7.2.0

Kernel: 0xD34D

Overclock: 1.3 GHz max, 1.3 GHz min

Launcher: ADW EX
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tablelegs:
I am getting really frustrated, I have successfully loaded this ROM twice, and google apps with no issue. Now I load the ROM and apps and the market icon will not display. I tried to manually install the market and it pretends it works but still no icon. In the applications list it shows the market, framework etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Try clearing the data for the launcher or restarting the launcher.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
u need at add your Google account to the settings!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
can i remove a few of the apks like the phone stuff, and maybe even rom manager safely
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
Yes you can, when you get rid of phone.apk you'll likely get barraged with FCs. Simply reboot and the FCs will stop. I cleared out a lot of the non-functional aspects of CM7 on my KF
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neugroove:
I felt the same way when I was using ADW. I really like Go launcher and Launcher Pro. They don't lag nearly as much as ADW. It's a big difference. At least for me. Hope you notice a big bump in smoothness the way I did! Also, I'm using System Tuner for cpu tweaking and memory management set to aggressive.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Here ya go...Apps that are safe to remove in CM7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
for cryin out loud i had a link someone put in a reply to me somewhere for removing the apks through root explorer, but lost it.

Ive tried the search function here and google but came up with no luck. anyone have a good tut on pulling the apks.

I really just want to pull rom manager, phone, and DPS from this (dps because its FC occasionally.

scrath that above i found the apks in the system folder. I will prob just rename them and leave them, its not like im losing a ton of space from it. :)

on a side not does anyone ever get random crashes with dolphin using this rom? my dolphin just closes itself occasionally (at the worst times) and clears itself.

thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
The most updated cm7 is sbloods built off the ingcr3at1on repo which he keeps updated. I built a cm7 from his source and I love it. Someone else mentioned the browser closes but I haven't noticed any yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Have you posted your build? I'd like something newer to try out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jikenda:
Sorry for the random question, but when you're reading a book in the kindle app (or if you click on a web link within a kindle book) how do you go back? My wife can't seem to find the back button and when she saw it once, it was grayed out.

Thank for the help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
yeah that's a common issue basically if you are in full screen the softbuttons disappear. Long press for the power menu and there should be some buttons in there (I think back is auto programmed but I can't remember right now, if not you can change it in the cm settings app, extended power menu settings). The other option is install something like button savior from the market
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jikenda:
Cool, I'll give that a shot.

Thanks for the input!

EDIT: Went with button savior. Huge help, thank you again for the tip.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
I've compiled an update tonight. I have PM's Whistlestop for permission to post, once he gives me permission I'll post the link.

If anyone wants the update now, PM me and I'll share with you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bdaleypsu:
Apps Incompatible With Device?

All of a sudden, apps are starting to show as incompatible with the device in the Android market.

First it happened with the Dolphin HD browser, now it won't let me update Facebook.

Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
IMO you should just go ahead and post it in a new thread in this forum like Sblood86's CM7 build since this thread is essentially dead development-wise. Any info on your build?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JustROLLIN:
I have not had this issue. I am running the ROM from the first post with Raven's kernel. However, I did use a modified build.prop so I could play my Gameloft games so maybe thats the difference.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
gonna finish merging in some changes n ill try to upload it later tonight
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Here's my CM7 build which is mostly based on Sblood86/IngCr3at1on github repo (credits go to Sblood86 and of course whistlestop): https://github.com/loosethisskin/android_device_amazon_blaze/downloads

I needed to merge the latest android_frameworks_base changes to fix some compilation errors and also modified the build.prop (to use GT-P1000 instead of Kindle Fire).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
Here is the build I created on Saturday, it is based off if Whistlestop's build and the latest CM7.

CM7 Infuse - XDA Premium
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dieandromeda:
changelog please:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Thanks for this, I installed it and everything is working great. The one big improvement I noticed is when scrolling through the list of widgets (after long pressing to add a widget to the screen) is much smoother and faster. I did have to modify the new systemui.apk to get my transparent status bar. When I replaced it with my previously modified one it wouldn't stop FCing. it only took me about 15 minutes to complete.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Right, even though I don't use a transparent status bar I know that everytime the systemui.apk changes you need to redo the changes you've made.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I tried using the modified systemui.apk from the version of CM7 that I was using previously but it wouldn't work so I just pulled the apk from your build and modified that one. Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
it's working perfectly
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Elbob10s:
This is what I've been using.	Works much better than whistlestops last build.

Inspire 4G - CM 7.2 Nightly - TalonACE
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
So thanks him please :đ
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Almost. Netflix audio/video doesn't sync properly and the only ones that do are Whistlestop's and Sblood86's. Other than that, yes very nice ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
You're right, crap. I'll see if I can figure out why.

EDIT: Hmmm ... seems like the build.prop changes are causing the netflix sync issue. I'll change that in the next build.

I've attached the fixed build.prop (remove the txt extension) where I reverted the model/fingerprint settings back from GT-P1000 to Kindle Fire in case anyone wants it.

You need to copy the file to /system (e.g. using Root Explorer) and change the permissions to Owner: RW, Group: R, Other: R and reboot.

EDIT2: Uploaded a new version with properly working Netflix.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I tried installing this a while ago and it boot loops at the CM7 logo once the screen brightens up, I restored my back up for now.

Edit: Clearing cache before and after the install fixed the boot loop, everything is working fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
if i wanted could i just uninstall adw launcher and install zeam or ex go?

not that i dislike the adw i just was curious?

thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Yes you can uninstall it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
Ok good to know, glad its working well for you.

anyone experiencing finicky wifi? my cm7 seems to disconnect at random times despite strong signals. happens on different networks .

any help is greatly appreciated
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Houndog101:
Sorry if this has been covered, nut I can't find it. When I wake up the KF, wi-fi doesn't turn back on. How can I keep wi-fi on when KF goes to sleep ? Thanks..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
No need to apologize, menu> setttings >wireless and networks >wifi settings >menu >advanced >then change the wifi sleep policy to "never".
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Houndog101:
Darn, I never knew that setting was even there,, :o , Thanks a mil..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kernelsandirs:
oops my post deleted as it related to CM9
[Kindle Fire Android Development] furtom:
I had herd of this over the last few months, but I never experienced it until recently and just once so far.

In my case, I rarely reboot the tablet and I think that catches up after a while. I can't put my finger on any reason, as the kernel manages memory well, but performance seems to degrade if the rom isn't rebooted about one a week. YMMV

Anyway, I saw this problem and rebooted and that fixed it. Give it a try.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bennettg:
Thanks.

one other problem i am having.....i cannot charge the kindle fire with the power off. if i shut down and then plug in the charger, the kindle fire boots and starts up. no errors, but just want to be able to charge the battery without the device on.

is anyone else experiencing this issue? if so, do you know how to fix? maybe it is a kernel issue? i think i have intersect raven kernel.

thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jmcoffey:
You have to plug it in before you power down. Its not an issue, the fire just powers up when it receives power.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Yeah it's ramdisk related, the ramdisks for CM7 and CM9 don't support offline charging (better to have it power on when you plug it in than ignore it entirely ;) ). Having said that I have been looking into this but ramdisks are still a little over my head (won't stop me from breaking something anyway, just take awhile).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bennettg:
Thank you for your quick response. At least I know my fire isnt busted or something.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
jmcoffey is probably right actually (in regards to the cm7 ramdisk) I haven't tried shutting it down after connecting the power in cm7 but I know the cm9 ramdisk does not support offline charging (I had my kindle get stuck in an offline state, factory cable luckily booted it without the battery having a charge)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
Stock does the same thing. I have read on an Amazon customer support thread that it's better for the battery to charge why the system is active as there are things in place to protect the overall life of the battery and that is why it boots up when charging. Honestly not sure how all that works or if it applies to anything but stock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cloud71:
not sure why your kindles arnt charging when off.

My kindle fire charges when its off I just dont have the charge light on. But I always plug it in wait till it starts charging then shut it off.

I know this cause ive pluged it in almost dead then got up the next morning and it had a full charge.

it did this with stock and with the cm7 version that I have.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

But I would like to know if the cm7 version I have is the best one for the kindle fire.

if there a better one can someone tell me which one it is. ive been to cyanogen site but cant make sense out of the builds.

the version I have is: Mod Version: CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC0-blaze-KANG

The greatest issue that im having is the wifi dropping when it goes to sleep, and having a hard time trying to get it reconnected, even with the sleep policy set to never. but other than that im happy with the mod

cant wait for cm9 to be stable for the kindle, thats my next mod.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
So twice now in about 3 weeks i went to wake up my fire and got a black screen. The power button greens like its starting but the screen wont wake.

Both time i held the power until i got a reboot, but im not sure if that was chance that it worked or the kindle hasa force reboot through the power button. once its rebooted its fine.

Anyone know what causes this? Is it a kernel problem that can be fixed?

Is this a normal glitch and do i just always have to hold the power to force reboot it (it takes a while)?

I dont mind if this is just a normal glitch because the forced reboot every 3 weeks (as long as it doesnt become more) is well worth cm7 on my kindle (until cm9:)

thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] daggy1985:
What your experiencing is SOD (Screen of Death), it's not really a big deal, it's just the Kindle Fire gets stuck in sleep mode and won't wake and as you have found the only way to recover is to hold down the power button for 20+ seconds, and power it back on. I never had the issue until I installed intersect ravens latest kernel. So, if you installed a different kernel other than what came with the rom, that's possibly the cause.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
no im still on the stock kernel, is there a better one tho?

Could an app cause this if it was trying to run during its sleep cycle, maybe i should let the wifi sleep with the device, or on the other hand turn it to never sleep.

As long as its not a huge deal then i can deal with it.

Sort of like having a chick with a busted slapper but REALLY hot body, you deal for what under the hood.

I guess this would probably be more like a really hot chick with narcolepsy.... lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guardsix:
twa_priv...I'm running your build but I have a caret "v" showing in my menu bar. It's right after the settings and I can't seem to get rid of it. It usually means you can move to full screen but on my Home screen, it doesn't do anything.

I have looked at all the CyanogenMod setting and ADW Ex settings and can't find a way to remove this character.

I do I get rid of this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
That shows in every CM7 build I have tried (tried most if not all). The only one that behaves as it should the CM7KFire KANG from smirkis. I'm not sure if it is a CM7 fix that is just not synched by others yet or what.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
In CyanogenMod settings under Tablet Tweaks and Choose Soft-Buttons do you have Quick Notifications checked?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
It is the Disable Fullscreen under Tablet Tweaks that does it. Turn it off and then you have to use power button to pop up menu and use back of home to exit full screen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I've never noticed it before and I've installed quite a few of the CM7 builds.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
For me the v only shows when opening certain apps/games. It does not show on the home screen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
After you use an app and activate it, like Netflix of Kindle, then it persists. I don't worry about it, except on some with the ICS tweaked theme, it will keep moving between the other buttons so you press the wrong thing. THAT is annoying. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I just opened netflix and started playing a movie - the v appeared. I clicked on it and the movie went to full screen and the status bar was hidden.

Then I went to power menu -> back to show the status bar again, exited out of netflix and the v disappeared from the status bar. I guess that's how it's supposed to work and it seems to work fine for me - or are you guys doing some different?

Also, for me the v is always on the same position (the right-most button from the left). And I'm using joenathane's ICS theme.

EDIT: Just managed to do something (not sure yet what exactly) so that the v stays on the home screen... then I rebooted and now can't reproduce it. Go figure.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guardsix:
I got rid of it finally. I disabled fullscreen and that seemed to work. Quick Notifications didn't seem to do anything other than give me the rectangular boxes.

I use Button Savior so I can get back to my home screen when on Netflix or any other app that uses full screen.

Thanks for the help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
You can add back n home to the quick power options(hold power to reboot option). So no need for buttonsaviour. Just letting you know.

And everyone else, don't lose too much sleep over that V button. It may be annoying to some, but I got over it quick.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guardsix:
Thanks. I know about the power button menu but I'm afraid I'd be wearing my power button out using it all the time!

As for the "V" icon, it wasn't just annoying but taking up a lot of space in portrait on the status/menu bar and I had very little room to swipe for notifications.

Everything is fine now. I appreciate all the help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
really? swipe the clock. I disable the middle always so that's never an issue
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aloy99:
Is there a way to remove the v that hides the notification bar for good without unchecking disable full screen?

Another question: Is there a way to change MEDIA volume from within the notification bar?

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aloy99:
Whenever I pull the notification bar up, the leading edge (black bar) doesn't move up in one piece, meaning that the edge doesn't remain as a single line. Same goes for scrolling, the scrolled items don't stay as one item while scrolling.

16 bit transparency isn't enabled.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Techngro:
Hey all. I just installed this ROM and it feels great, but I don't see an option to setup my google account in accounts and sync settings. I tried to install gapps, but I started getting a lot of force closes.

Is there a specific gapps that will work with this ROM? I tried the one in the OP, but the ROM I installed is from March 6th that was posted earlier on this page.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Can't imagine why gapps is causing FC issues, however on that note; this thread is deprecated. Here is my updated source tree and binary, should work, probably a touch better anyway.

Problem to load after update-CM7

Hi,

I just take a momento today to run the update-cm7.zip on my kindle fire but, after try to install it I get to many errors about "Cannot load volume /misc"after that my kindle fire never boot to the menu.

How can I fix this issue. I try to use the "run.bat" in Kindle Fire Utility, but nothing works.

Anyone else have a bit of wake up lag when headphones are plugged in? Not that annoying but just curious
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
I found that if I don't plug/unplug the headphones while the screen is on that there will be considerable lag at times

those both seem more like cm issues rather than device specific issues. my mytouch does it at times as well on cm7
