Hello all

Seem im having a prob right now, I booted up my kindle fire this morning which has CM7 on it.

The mod version I have is : CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RCO-blaze-KANG

Build number: GWK74

Its not connecting to wifi, and it wont scan for anyhot spots it just says that it is disconnected.

And the battery use stats are at 10 hours plus.

I had it off all night and just turned it on this morning, which the battery stats are not my mine concern but the wifi prob is.

God Bless
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cloud71:
Ok i figured it out, err

in the notifications area i long pressed the wifi icon and brought up those setting.

Well some how it got disabled, its back working agian :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
You can remove those yourself with titanium backup :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
And you might even get an Fc but a reboot will solve it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
Indeed, I think only phone.apk gave me fc's

I get an error when building. This is what makes it stop

make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/cyanogen/proprietary/RomManager.apk', needed by `out/target/product/blaze/system/app/RomManager.apk'. Stop.

This hasn't happened in any other ROM I've built.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I just did a fresh build yesterday without any issues. I've used Sblood86's repo to build (https://github.com/IngCr3at1on). Just follow his readme here: https://github.com/IngCr3at1on/CM7KF/blob/master/README.md. It works like a charm.

I then installed my build on top of my existing CM7 from whistletop by just wiping cache + dalvik. Works perfectly.

That's basically what I did:

mkdir -p /u01/dev/android/KF/CM7
cd /u01/dev/android/KF/CM7

repo init -u git://github.com/IngCr3at1on/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync -j4

mkdir -p /u01/dev/android/KF/CM7/CM7KF
cd /u01/dev/android/KF/CM7
git clone git://github.com/IngCr3at1on/CM7KF.git CM7KF

mkdir -p device/amazon/ vendor/amazon
cd device/amazon
ln -s ../../CM7KF/device/amazon/blaze blaze
cd ../../vendor/amazon/
ln -s ../../CM7KF/vendor/amazon/blaze blaze
cd ../..

export CYANOGEN_NIGHTLY=true
rm -rf out/target
source build/envsetup.sh
brunch blaze -j$(grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
On a secondary note while there is absolutely nothing wrong with the above listed methods (at all lol) I do feel inclined to point out that if you are updating from Whistlestops build to a build off of my repos you should not actually have to wipe data. The roms are nearly identical the only difference is mine has a few config changes effecting things on the /system partition. You should be fine doing a dirty flash just wiping cache and dalvik cache (honestly you may not even need to wipe dalvik cache but I would for good measure). If you find yourself experiencing random force closes than I would recommend wiping data but otherwise it should be safe to update without.

Edit:

Btw Ragul, that error is because the prebuild rommanager apk is not downloaded to the CM repo (I have removed rommanager in my repos so you can ignore that) if you really want to build using whistlestops source you just need go to the main CM7 source directory and....

cd vendor/cyanogen
. get_rommanger
cd ../..

than proceed with your make.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks, I actually did not wipe data. It was a typo on my side - I meant to write wipe cache + dalvik...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 6666:
so netflix. Ive searched and there are no real answers I see. I have tried both the google market and amazon market versions and both have about a second offset of audio and video. Any Ideas before I go back to stock? Netflix is one of my main uses of this thing. Other than that I love having real aneroid on my fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] djkeller3:
I just installed CM7 a few days ago but had not tried Netflix on it yet. Just tried and all is perfect.

Which recovery are you using? I have TWRP installed, which is a little different from CWR in terms of wiping. Admittedly, I'm a stickler for thorough wiping. I always, always, always wipe a minimum of 3 times at each level. Doesn't take much longer and prevents problems and at the very least does not hurt anything.

Did you wipe all levels? If you're using TWRP here's what I recommend wiping:

* Factory Reset

* Data

* Cache

* Dalvik Cache

* System

If you relied on the self-wiping version, then I'd say this is likely to be your issue.

On a different note, you could also try going into Manage Applications, go to Netflix and clear data and cache. Sometimes leftover data or cache can cause wonky things to happen. I had to do this to get my Market to update.

If this works let us know!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] 6666:
I wiped everything before flashing and cleared app data between trying the diff versions. My only thought is that the version I am installing from amazon market isnt really givibg me the kindle version since im downloadinf it from this rom. Anyone on stock rom wanna export thier kindle version of netflix and upload? Im not the only one having this issue
[Kindle Fire Android Development] altitude909:
Cant imagine its a different version issue, i installed my netflix from the market well after my cm rom
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Netflix works perfectly for me on both this and stock ROMs. Unfortunately I do get the audio/video sync issue on the other CM7 ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
I've tried out a LOT of ROMs these past few weeks...

This one is STILL BY FAR the best I've used. Thanks again to everyone who worked on this. Seriously. This sh*t is AWESOME. Super solid.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
So -finally- I've made the jump from stock to CM and there is two things that still bug me as much as they did on stock. First of all I have to say that I enjoy immensely the freedom that CM gives me but like I said there are those two issues that keep me from feeling as if I have the full tablet experience.

The first one is the lagginess which I cannot understand where it's coming from. My lowly Samsung Vibrant feels many times snappier even though it has less than half than KF's power. Overclock helped but not by much. It should had been almost as snappy as the new Nexus (same chipset), no? I guess future build.prop optimizations may help aleviate the issue, but they can't come any sooner...

The second which is by far the most crucial to me is that it doesn't seem that there is a video player that supports HW decoding using's KF's innards. Sure NetFlix and Youtube HD work as intended but almost the whole of my local movie/tv-show library severly lags when I try to play it through software decoders. Since to a tablet media consumption is very important, this is the very issue due to which KF leaves much to be desired for the time being.

Still for a cheap tablet it's more than capable I could only hope that its hardware will stop acting as if it's cheap/weak on it itself (it isn't - in fact it's more powerful than most of the phones out there)...

As for the rom itself, I guess it's the more complete out there. A few optimizations and it would had been perfect. Great work guys!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slippers67:
I agree with you on the lag. My nearly 2 year old evo 4g is 10 times smoother and far more responsive.

For video I use mx video player, as it does support hardware decoding on the fire. I can typically watch about 7 hours of movies on long flights, which would never be possible without hardware decoding.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Have you tried a different launcher? I have no issues with lag at all.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
make sure if u want a fast zippy rom, disable animations.. there all on by default. I usually turn them all off right away. the open n close animations are there to look good, but cause a bit of lag in the process on most devices.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
What type of files do you playback? I'm asking because my experience with MX video (amongst others) was opposite ... Then again maybe it's because none of my files are local (I have a cluster of network drives from which I playback everything)...

@ the rest: regrarding the launcher, indeed I bought ADW EX from the market and everything seems snappier but still my phone is faster, which is -still- a source of wonder to me (in all the imporant benchmarks KF scores almost twice than my phone).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bigboij:
In regards to the lag/slow disable or set animations to fast in adw and spare parts.. My cm7 kindle fire is crazy fast no lag at all here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Same here. Smooth and zippy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slippers67:
I'm playing .mp4 files locally. The fact that you're streaming them may be the cause of the problem.

In response to the other posts about lag, I do have animations turned completely off. I notice it the most when I'm trying to scroll on web pages, using any number of browsers (stock, dolphin, max, and so forth). Web pages don't scroll anywhere near as smooth as on my Evo, despite the much better hardware.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Nah, I just tried them locally same thing. It's the fact that most of my files are not mp4 why I can't be HW accelerated and considering the sheer amount of my files I cannot just convert them for a single device which -sadly- leaves me without accelaration and especially laggy playback...

Let us hope that some genious developer will give us the necessary encoders/decoders because without them KF feels a little crippled...despite its great physical/hardware prowess...

Hey folks! I was just wondering if there was any progress on bluetooth. I saw a thread elsewhere that was making progress but it died.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guardsix:
No More Wi-Fi! Please Help!

Ok, I've had this CM7 running for awhile now but just today I've lost wifi connectivity.

I have Wi-Fi checked but all my wifi networks say their not in range. I'm sitting right next to my usual router! It's been connecting fine until just today.

When I choose a network, all I get is "Forget" and "Cancel".

Please help! Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] djkeller3:
If you made a backup of CM7, just restore that.

If you don't, and have tried all else, you could do a complete wipe and reinstall CM7 again. It's painful I know, but I did something stupid last week without having a backup and had to do exactly that to fix it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Aye you could do a complete wipe or you might try a dirty flash first otherwise no I'm not sure what would have caused the wireless to stop like that (I'm assuming you have cycled both the kindle and the router?)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guardsix:
Ok, I did have a backup of a few days ago when I tried CM9 for a few days. My KF is backup and has wi-fi. I sure would like to know what knocked out my wi-fi. I had thought about re-installing CM7 but realized the backup option would be much better.

Thanks for the help.

Inspire 4G - CM 7.2 Nightly - TalonACE
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fcw89:
First off, I've been using this ROM for the last several weeks and it works like a champ. Does everything I need and more. I only have one tiny gripe and hopefully somebody has found a way to solve it/deal with it.

Regarding the status bar force closes: After a reboot/restart, all works well. At some point the status bar will force close, then reopen on its own. After some time it will force close again and will NOT reopen on its own, forcing me to restart to get it back. Not a huge deal, but a minor inconvenience that if solved would make this ROM flawless (IMO).

My question is, is there a way to manually launch the status bar after it force closes the second time?

Or even better, is there a fix for this bug?

Any help greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slippers67:
I've yet to see a statusbar force close. Are people installing something that contributes to it happening?

I ran the original CM7 build released before Christmas, and my Fire saw an absolute ton of use through the holidays and while I traveled over 12,000 miles in January. I've been on the 1/13 update for the last two weeks, and I've never had a problem with the statusbar on either build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I've been using CM7 since a few days after Christmas and have not had the status bar FC either.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
I get the status bar FC exactly as you described even with nothing else installed. Look for the Button Savior app in the market, works perfect until you decide to reboot after the FC that will not reopen the status bar. Too bad Netflix runs terrible on the barebones ROM, I got no Status bar FC on that one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Have you renamed/removed any unused system app? I'm wondering if it's somehow related to a system app that is not really being used with our Kindles. I've installed CM7 on 4 different Kindle Fires and immediately removed a bunch of unused app on each of them, none of them have had the status bar FC.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fcw89:
Yes, I've removed a few unnecessary system apps, like telephony and Bluetooth. Aside from that I haven't made any hardcore changes. Like I said I find this ROM to be pretty awesome, and the two force closes I mentioned happen over the span of several days, so not the end of the world to restart. Just wondering if there was a way to manually launch the status bar after it closes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I remove 39 system apps. Have you tried using the swipe gestures in Go Launcher to open the notification area/status bar?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fcw89:
I use adw :/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gett:
Can you provide a list, please?

Edit

OK, I find this thread
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Yup, you found it, that's the current list that I updated today.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
I'll build it over the weekend and with Whistlestop's permission I'll post it. If he first want me too them I'll pm you a link.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
I will try the remove/rename and see how it goes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I'd suggest renaming them and seeing how it goes for a day or so and then remove them.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Well, I have already deleted all but telephony which I renamed but I do have a backup so there's that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
StatusBar

Have a read: https://github.com/IngCr3at1on/android_frameworks_base/blob/gingerbread/HISTORY.md

Note specifically the cause of the issue (lockscreen being disabled). Simple work around that others have posted instructions for many times. CyanogenMod has since fixed that as you can tell in the above listed markdown.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Thank you, thank you! I know that in the CM9 thread everyone and their brother is posting their own builds, so I'm sure you'll have permission. If I could build it myself, I totally would. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JustROLLIN:
Apologize in advance if this has been answered, but I searched and did not yield any results...

How do I load a dictionary of some sort with this ROM? I have no predictive text, no auto-correct, no double space period, auto-cap I, etc.

Thanks for your help!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] devilot:
Verify that your keyboard's language is correct. Mine wasn't and changing it corrected those and a few other pesky keyboard issues.

Or download a keyboard app.

k swtiched from one cm7 to this one and hulu says its not compatible. I see in the thread someone states he can watch hulu on this but why do both my cm7's say my device is not supported?

ANY help is appreciated PLEASE, I really would like to keep this setup but need to have my hulu access.

thanks

found this, its wiggy at times but worth it

Will try to keep things updated but PLEASE figure a way to disguise this device as something HULU will allow.

I'm not on Hulu+ but if you haven't modified your build.prop for Android Market yet, this could be a fix. Good luck
[Kindle Fire Android Development] milestonedude:
i would LOVE to do this but i cant figure out how to disable automatic brightness. its almost as if CM7 knew it didnt have a sensor and removed the option, sadly the check box for enable swiping is greyed out.

so my question is how do i disable brightness on my kindle fire on cm7 so i can enable this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
hulu plus can be downloaded and installed but when opened it says it isnt supoprted. Th build prop i thought only let you download apps you couldnt normally see in market. ill try it out after a good stern backup lol. thanks

on a different question is there any way to alter that system bar on the bottom of the screen? the one for notifacations, home, back and such. there is a button to hide it which i would like to remove. ive been in a few apps an accidentally hidden it with no way to bring it back until i learned you can get home through the power key(whew).

i would like to remove te hide key o n it.

thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
Yeah, I wasn't sure if maybe masking the KF as another device via the build.prop might make Hulu+ function. The build.prop mod is definitely worthwhile though and very easy to do.

You can change the buttons for your status bar in Settings > CM Settings > Tablet Tweaks > Choose soft-buttons. Also I'd reccommend unchecking disable fullscreen on that same Tablet Tweaks menu and installing Button Savior. It makes portrait mode much better IMO
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
Ill try the build prop for ****s and giggles, i like to fiddle with stuff. LOVING CM on the fire, makes a batter tab than the ipad2 i got my girl.

Ill look at that setting, ive been in that area before so i probably missed that. Im a landscape person myself, pretty much do 99% of my stuff in landscape.

At the moment the hulu app i found works for my plus and the flash rom i found actually even lets you watch free hulu through your dolphin browser for those who dont have plus.

nice little tweak to use. Also had button savior on another rom i tried first, maybe ill try it again but the status bar doesnt bother me to keep up 24/7. thanks

again

LOVE THIS ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] milestonedude:
I've been using CM7 for 4 or 5 days now and from time to time my screen wont turn back on. Its almost like my power button is broke but it seems to restart if I hold the power button down so i can tell the power button isnt broken. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] harry_fine:
I remember when I installed CM7, I put the Go Launcher on, as I liked it on my SGS2. I started having the same problem.

I think what I did is to take of the launcher that was installed (AWD perhaps) and it solved the problem. I don't know how I came to that conclusion, I don't remember, but I believe that's what I did. And it's worked perfectly since.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
You're experiencing what people call the "sleep of death". I've never experienced it on CM7 but I did experience it frequently on early CM9 builds (though the current ones are not having that issue so much). Since I never had it on CM7 I can't begin to give suggestions, though. Just know you're probably not alone in having seen it.

was anybody ever able/willing to share their own builds of CM7? Or has this reached "dead" status? My wife has taken custody of my Kindle and wanted Netflix, so I put CM7 back on. If the build in the OP is hte latest build, that's fine, I just want to make sure I give her any and all fixes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
I have the occasional SoD on my CM7 build but they are few and far between.

This particular build of CM7 is pretty much dead but there is active development for CM7 barebones which takes a lot of the non-functional bloat out of the whistlestop CM7 build. Once I learn a bit more about compiling builds and modding I may be up to the task but much research needs to be done.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
i used barebones for a bit but had many more glitches with it. bighest was not being able to alter my homescreen. everything just became locked there
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Nothing is locked on Barebones. Don't like the way it's setup, just reset ADW settings to default and create your own.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JustROLLIN:
I had many glitches with barebones as well. Not the issue you mention but enough to come back to this version and just remove bloat myself, install ravens kernel, and modify build.prop. I could not be happier now and I still have my hidef video unlike ICS.

So the android system will think it has a hardware gps chipset.

It will give your kindle fire full gps funcation as same as those tablets have gps chipset.
