If you have root you can use titanium backup to back up all user apps. If you do decide to install the sdcard part wont be touched. If you dont have root i sugest you do it and back up with tb. The only thing youll loose is amazon video

hdiing buttons in video players

firstly, thanks a lot for all the work! Amazing stuff, thrown the ROM on my Kindle straight away (was afraid it would get 6.2.1 when I connect to wifi :) )

I have a question, using moboplayer for video files, I was wondering how to hide the buttons during playback? I saw the double-arrow a few times but it disappears right after I open the video file... any help on this?

thanks!

Merry Christmas!!

PS: really looking forward to ICS :)

I have a question. Is there a way to make the screen darker? Even though i set to minimum brightness it's still quite bright. Not sure if stock roms have different levels, but i wish I could turn it down a bit more.

Thanks

Have ya tried one of CM7's filters? They will change the color a bit and it may help your issue.

Hi,

I installed cyanogen mod on my kindle fire, but the Wi-Fi can not be turned on.

any ideas how to enable wifi...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] RJ McKenzie:
Under Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Tablet tweaks is the Disable fullscreen option unchecked? I think that is the way to get the buttons not to show up. Just make sure you have the power menu buttons enabled with back and home on there. That works for me.

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

Under Settings>Wireless & Networks> there is an option to turn on WiFi there. Is that available?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SantiagoElf:
Yes, settings->wifi is available, but grayed out, I can not turn wifi on.

Edit:

Now I have another problem. I did a wipe cache/dalvik and now after 10 reboots the kindle goes directly into TWRP 2.0 without pressing the power button. So, I can not get to the Cyanogen animation. :(

You have to change the bootmode back to 4000. That will get you back into CM7.

Yes, I did that and now it can boot into CM7.

But the problem with the Wifi is still present. In settings>Wirelss & networks -> Wi-Fi it says "wifi turning on ...", but for 30 minutes it hasn't turned on... :confused:

After wipe cache/dalvik and reinstalling the CM7 still no wifi :/

And now not only the wifi is not working, but the KF with CM7 can't connect to the pc as a usb device in order to copy update.zip.

I am giving a donation for anyone that will help me turn on WIFI on the damn KF.

fixed the usb issue by uninstalling the driver for the kindle from computer management and reinstalling it. But the damn wifi issues is still present.

What happens if I delete everything from sdcard except the roms that I intend to flash?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MayfairDROID:
Why dont you read the thread? Or the entire developement forum? Ill give you a hint where to start.....check your Fire version numbner, then use the appropriate root method. Once rooted, look for the TWRP 2.0 install thread. Once done there, read this thread and learnn how to flash the CM7 rom.

Not trying to be a ****, but your question has been asked and answered multiple times....give a man a rooted device and he'll be happy for a day, teach him to use the search feature or to make the time to read the forum prior to asking the same questions already asked, he'll mod devices forever....

The volume app is default set to control music, it is probably a different volume that needs to be controled. Explore the settings of the app and you can change the volume in there. Not an ideal fix but it works.

Any way to get any of Amazon's "Kindle Fire Version"s of the games they have on their appstore, on to a CM7 Kindle Fire? Stuff like Order & Chaos, Dead Space, etc.?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] G1ForFun:
You could probably match the CM7 build prop to be whatever the stock Kindle Fire's had. Then it would think it was still a Kindle Fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mrw1215:
Interesting... How, exactly, is this done? Also, would doing this cause it to "behave" like a Kindle again? What I mean is, for example, if I try to access the Android Market, would it send me back to the Amazon Appstore? Would my device show as "incompatible" in the regular Android Market?

Your device will show all of the same apps as the Market did on the stock rom. It will not redirect you to the Amazon App Store either so your all good.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mrw1215:
Ah, okay. So how does one go about doing that, then?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] deez1234:
You would go to the /system/ folder and edit the build.prop file to match the fingerprint of the stock kindle fire. There should be a good amount of threads on this throughout XDA for different devices. The first thing I would try and find is what the actual fingerprint for the stock Kindle Fire is so you aren't inputting the wrong information. I may be able to help in a bit if you still need it.

I have been reading this thread from the start and didn't see a way to make the wifi mac address unique. Did I miss it?

I understand this wont be a problem to most. I bought a couple of these and cm7'ised them for presents for my nieces. So they get the problem with getting kicked off the router as the Mac addresses are identical.

I've tried several documented unix methods but although things seem to work in command it never reports a change in the GUI status nor fixes the problem.

Thanks loads for all the work.. it does seem a super stable rom..

Hi All - I just installed CM7 and loving it.

The only problem I seem to have remaining is the speed of my internet access / browser access. The speeds seem to be extremely slow and webpages load very slowly. I know it cant be my internet connection as I tried via notebook and ipad and they all run smoothly.

I also tethered up the kindle fire with the iphone and realised the problem still persists.

Am I the only one with this problem or did I miss a thread which talks about this ? Thanks all !

I just got my KF yesterday, then I rooted it and CM7'd it after a while I tested the ICS ROM but I didn't wipe or anything, I noticed all my CM7 apps were working like a charm, but I noticed the Kindle app, It wasn't the same as it was on CM7, it was actually better, WAY BETTER It's not an update or anything because I'd knew if I was downloading something (My connection is SLOW as taking a forced dump @midnight).

Now my question is, is ther a way to get that to the CM7 (There's not sound or aceleromether on ICS for the KF yet :\)

I'm really considering getting a Kindle Fire, but I've got a few things I need to clear up before I do drop the money on one. What version of android would it be running with CM7? I see screenshots with a tablet interface in this thread, is that 3.0? Does it work as a fully functional tablet (or will it soon)? I'd like to also get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use for school, will that be possible at some point?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MaxRabbit:
CM7 is always 2.3.x. The tablet interface is simply CM7 with tablet tweaks. What do you define as a "fully functional tablet"? The only things that do not work are always listed in the first post.

Bluetooth, whistestop is working on. It may or may not be a possibility.

CM9, which is currently running at a very early stage on our KFs, is Android 4.0.x. It's a revision above honeycomb, 3.0.

Positively floored by the performance of the ROM, very happy to have it installed. I prefer this greatly to the Kindle Fire interface, and I thank you for the port. :)

I'm a little surprised to see that, according to CMStats, only 15 installs are listed for the device type "blaze", which is this here KF. Unless I'm missing what everyone else is running (mine says blaze) it doesn't seem that widespread yet. I hope more folks get into it because this is the very fastest $200 tablet you can get and the more people that get on board, the more likely it is to join the Nook Color as an official CM platform. :D

I'm not a coder, but I am a QA analyst for a living so I'm comfortable with breaking things. if there's something you need tested, hit me up; I'm happy to contribute. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MayfairDROID:
The 15 kindles is reporting may be due to the MAC address issue.....if we all have the same mac, thoer servers would see us as all the same device.....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Ohhhh, right. I didn't think about that. There might be 14 people with CM7 installed using the custom kernel/Wifi driver (which I'm not going to mess with until the dev says he has a build that addresses it, which I'm happy to test out), and the 15th is the rest of the KF/CM7-using universe. Makes total sense.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MaxRabbit:
The unique ID is not based off your MAC, silly goose :P Go into CM7 settings -> Anonymous stats and hit "preview" to see your unique ID.

Just remember that you have to enable it for it to be reported, so maybe only 15 people have enabled it ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
I have no idea what it's based on, and MAC address seemed reasonable. :p

not clear -

are you trying to register your google account with the Market and the Gapps? You want to add google account to your device?

Or are you saying you cannot get the gmail app out of Market? Which is it?

Either question has different answers. If you have enabled two-step authentication for your google account.. stop right there! disable that two step authentication and then make sure its really disabled and then try again.
