Is there a way to either link all volume together or make the volume control app control based on context? For example, my phone will change ringtone volume unless media is playing, in which case it changes the media volume. But volume control only seems to change one or the other.

My market keeps force closing on my fresh install of cm7. Im using the market apk from the first post, v3.3.1.1. Ive cleared cache, rebooted and reinstalled many times, yet i still cant get it to work. Any help would be appreciated. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
what does Gtalk do? does it force close or what? Does it run normally? if it does not --

either wipe all partitions and flash cm7 then gapps in the same go before booting out of recovery

if you dont want to do that then

back to recovery wipe dalvik wipe cache flash gapps wipe dalvik and boot out

or pull a lolcat and post.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jaa-Yoo:
Thanks androidcues.

Wiped everything through twrp and installed gapps again. Everything is working fine now. Thanks :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
How hard would it be to remove the reboot into recovery option? That way the noobs don't get stuck in bootloop.

Great - glad you got it working -- blame that on Google for giving Cyanogen a C&D back in 2009 telling him to stop including their proprietary applications in his ROMS -- and all the while they are using CM code in new AOSP builds! Go figure!

I keep dropping wifi when I wake the fire from sleep. My wifi sleep policy is set to never because I like to get my email and whatever when the fire is asleep; I do get email when the device is asleep but I get dropped from my connection when I wake the beast. At first I hbe a green wifi connection for about 5 seconds and a working connection, it then quickly moves to no wifi icon and no connection, I then move to a white wifi icon and no connection. I no the white means not connected to Google server or whatever but when the icon is white I can't even get on the web. I have to toggle wifi off/on to finally get the green light (and green wifi icon) and the connection is fine until I sleep the fire again. Is this related to the mac address? I have at least 3 Android devices connected to my router at all times and I don't experience this with any other device.

I haven't seen anybody post this yet but is it possible to add a home screen button to the controls bar? Everything else works great I just get tired if backing out if everything one back button at a time.

The option is in tablet tweaks in CM settings

@ the OP, this may help with the wifi and BT

@ the OP - Just found this, maybe you can understand it and use it to help decipher WiFi and BT, lol :p

I also found a download on their website for a pre-compiled image with kernel, etc for an OMAP 35xx series proc but with the WL1271 wifi/bt module..

Hope this helps :confused:

Does anyone know if there is any battery mods for CM7 ? I hate not knowing what the percentage is and yes I know I could download a battery widget, but thats not what I asked is it :P Soo...anyone?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MMDominator88:
Go to cyanogenmod settings, go to interface, go to status bar tweaks, to to battery status style, change to percentage...that what you want? also can make it show on lockscreen all the time by going into the lockscreen settings and into widget options, then 'Always display battery status'
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
Hey guys am I missing something regarding being able to control volume? Because I have tried the onscreen volume control by rubberbigpepper and it only worked for a few apps. I even went into the settings of the app and changed it to control system. But it didnt control volume for netflix, or several other games I played. Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] irishmyles003:
Thanks, overlooked that part. For now, that will do. Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
Mine controls anything I've tried it with so far. Mine is set in "Music" not "System".
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
I finally figured that out. It works now. Just figured system was the right one. But it has to be on music. Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BriDroid-74:
I am loving this ROM, but one question for everyone running this. Does your browser just close out of the blue at random times? It's not FCing, it just closes and goes to the home screen? I have tried the stock browser, FireFox, and Dolphin HD and they all do the same thing?

Other than that, great job OP!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SP1986:
Well this is interesting. When I open the Settings dialog and press "CyanogenMod settings" I get a FC on process com.android.settings.

Anyone run into this before?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] devilot:
Multiple others and I had to wipe the data partition to correct this issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sadalius:
I have noticed that happened to me maybe 3 times since I've been using this rom. It doesn't happen enough for me to consider it trouble though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SP1986:
Ah, I'll give that a try. I had given up hope when the first 6 or 7 pages of the thread didn't discuss the issue. Maybe a note in the OP would be warranted?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] easybucketz:
Hey I just wanted to know if anyone has a work around for not having a home button?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] G1ForFun:
Cm settings has that in the tablet tweaks area. Also if you search the thread it has been mentioned many times.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Installed TWRP but I'm stuck at the yellow fire icon. Pressing the power button does nothing. Any ideas?

Think I know what happened. Unplugged at the yellow triangle, before it was finished. Stuck at <waiting for device> in the utility now. It also keeps telling me that the USB device isn't recognized, which is probably why I'm stuck at waiting for device.

EDIT: Rebooted a few times and plugged in an unplugged my cable, the utility is seeing the Kindle now, should be good.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vanduhl:
download the kindle fire utility if you don't already have it, go to boot mode and select boot mode normal. You may be stuck in fastboot mode.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AdrienC:
Just for giving feedback. CM7 looks awesome.

I am using it for a few days and having a great battery life and performance. No issues so far other than some apps (like SwiftKey Tablet Edition) not showing on the market.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
Isnt the post self-explanatory?

1. download the kindle fire rom dump (or just use your own rom dump from your backup)

2. extract system folder the apps are probably in /system/app and maybe data/data/app and maybe the libs

3 make a new folder on your sdcard to hold all those files

4. move the extracted **** to that new folder on your sdcard

5. install accountandsyncsettings atvandroidclient com.amazon.dcp myaccount-unsigned install all the amazon specific apps just install and do not try to activate them or press on them. If you get an "application not installed" then you need to remount /system and make it read-write. Use a root explorer or ADB and then install it once read-wite.

6. reboot your device and then go to menu-settings-accounts-add account and see if an Amazon account signin pops up.

that said, i have no idea if this works, and have no desire to do any of this because I am illiterate and never learned how to read. I only took the time to retype what the guy did.

i will delete this post if it doesnt work or the guy shows up and reposts what he did... and I am now asking myself why I am doing this at all.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Anyone else play Words with Friends? It's crashing on startup on CM7. Backed up and reverted to stock temporarily and it works fine there. Restored back to CM7 and still crashy. Tried clearing data and cache, made sure to wipe cache and dalvik. Not sure what else to try. Hanging with Friends works fine, and this is actually the only app I've run into that won't run on CM7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TesseractSpace:
Oddly, the fix involves changing the lcd density display setting in the build.prop file to something like 180

the line you're looking for is

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

change that to 180 and Words with Friends seems to work, doesn't seem to cause any other ill effects. I've heard there's an app to switch the lcd density setting in the market too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
I used this one and rebooted and the game works. A cursory check of other things is good, as well. Thanks! :D

Surely in the 51 pages someone has mentioned or asked, what does the OP mean "get bluetooth working"? The kfire. Doesn't have bluetooth.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
It's said the wifi chip has Bluetooth capabilities but might/might not be wired to work. I personally am not getting my hopes up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sad Panda:
Aside from software protocols being different you cant have wick running from the same radio as bluetooth. They would need different Mac address and everything. This will just never happen on the kindle. That work should be abandoned for getting everything else running. If someone believes they can, do the work after everything else is done and working. We don't even have a true functioning os yet....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
you guys should move to icecream now its pretty stable a new release today i made the move from cm7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
Not seeing any but I used the Supercharger Script asap.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Actually it does have the chip (and FM too) according to the teardown that was done. The question is whether its actually wired up or not so we can talk to it. Time will tell...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Ok, where's that? I have applied a bunch of the tweaks that I've found on the net for build.prop but point me at your script and I'll see if there are any I missed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
It can be found here

I use script manager from the market.

And option 9 in the script.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
Like with the Nook Color, the Wifi chip on the Kindle Fire has bluetooth on it. The problem is figuring out how to use it, and if it doesn't work we can just assume it wasn't wired correctly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brett10:
It would be a little difficult for the bluetooth part of the chip not to be wired up, I mean it would have to be done during manufacturing(if it's inside of the chip). Which can just as easily happen as an amazon exec calling up TI and saying to take it out lol. Or it could be as simple as not soldering all of the pins on the chip, I'll look at some pictures of the chip on iFixit and see if I can tell if it's wired to the circuit board at all.

Jorjin WG7310 WLAN/BT/FM Combo Module is what the KF has.

I'm not sure if this will help at all but here are a few websites that might help some;

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/ARM_Processor_Open_Source_Wireless_Connectivity

http://www.jorjin.com/Product_SiPmodule_WG7310.htm

Good luck in getting Bluetooth working :) That's one of the things that had pushed me away from getting a KF in the first place(the other one was the lack of MicroUSB).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Thanks. Assuming the video stuff I got working tonight tests out tomorrow with the testers then Bluetooth is my next item to look at. It'll be interesting to see if I can modload the driver into the existing kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] michintom:
Ahhh...finally have sound. Thank you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Typically to bring up bluetooth from the TI SoC chip, you'll need to load the uim-sysfs daemon and the kernel module to support it (btwilink.ko iirc).

Sources are on OMAP zoom:

http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=platform/hardware/ti/wpan.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/gingerbread;hb=gingerbread

(^^ that's for Gingerbread)

You'll still need to build the kernel module, but once that's up and running BT should work just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
if u were to install firefirefire boot selection, would I be able to keep cwm installed and skip flashing the stock recovery or does the kindle require the stock recovery to boot properly?

kindle app on the cm7

I loaded up the Kindle app on CM7. While it seems to work, my books dont show up as they would on the stock ROM. The formatting is off and some books wouldnt even download because they are incompatible with the device.

Anyone loaded the stock Kindle app on CM7 and know if that works fine? If so, any place I can download the stock Kindle app for the KF
[Kindle Fire Android Development] periferral:
I tried to do this. Accounts and Sync will *NOT* install. Keeps giving me 'Application not installed'. Suggestions on the thread were to mount /system as RW which I did but it still would not install. In any case, even without it, it seems like Amazon is an option when I add account. So I went ahead and tried to Add an Amazon account but it gives me an generic login error. How did you get it to work? Any help is appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samomamo:
Hi guys does anyone know how to keep the wifi on. I check the settings its on always on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
if you are on CM7 go to wireless settings hit menu hit advanced then Wi-Fi Sleep Policy should be "never". (Kindles battery is so good it wont hurt)

If you are not on CM7 and on the Kindle ROM, install Spare Parts (I think all of them work, but the one I know for sure is https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droidgram.spareparts&hl=en
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samomamo:
Thank you for the replay, but its already checked in the Advanced settings . I'm on cm7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MMDominator88:
So do you still need help figuring something out..? Because your original post has two "On"s where one of them is probably meant to be "Off"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] devilot:
My wife's suffered this exact same issue. No matter what was checked in the advanced WiFi settings it still killed WiFi when the screen turned off. I ended up wiping hers and flashing CM7 again, which corrected the issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brett10:
He also says after you mount the system as RW you have to move the apk to /system/app I'd backup the original one first. I'm using the silk browser without moving the accounts and setting app.

Has anybody else tried to add an OpenVPN connection with the built-in options?

I'm having trouble selecting CA & user certificate due to some UI weirdness.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samomamo:
The thing is that it use to be the same way when I was on stock Amazon rom too, when I turned the screen off the wifi used to turn off to, even when the option it the wifi sleep policy was checked to never. It like when I press the power button it goes to a deep sleep and nothing updates. The only thing its good about this the battery lasts verrrrrrry long time. I mean when its charched to full in like 6 -7 hours it drops like 2 %.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slippers67:
I've been searching for a better volume control, as I'm really not a fan of the volume control app from rubberbigpepper. Half the time while I'm trying to use it, I end up pausing the movie, and it's really hard to fine tune. Plus you have to make sure to run the app prior to actually watching a movie, since it's not on by default. Unfortunately the nice looking TrayVolume isn't available to us on CM7, either, since it requires honeycomb or ICS.

So, the next best thing, which I greatly prefer over volume control, is Quick Settings: https://market.android.com/details?...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5id3guYmVxdWljayJd.

You can have it show in your notification drop down menu, and pressing it brings up a customizable menu. In the attached screenshots I have stripped out all the other settings, so it just has the master volume control slider, plus the ability to go right into the individual sound levels if need be. Very easy to use while watching a movie or listening to music. You'll want to disable full screen for the Quick Settings menu, and remove all the extra settings in the options, or else it becomes a bit redundant over the built-in CM7 notification settings.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
just get volumecontrol. best app ever for kindle fire lol
