Just got this flashed and i love it. Simply amazing. Scores higher on Quadrant than my phone does...(not that quad scores are meant to be taken as worth much but still)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
i have been messing around with tweaking stuff to reduce the dependency on cell/voice/noise/audio stuff --- because I got tired of Android giving so much leeway to the audio/cell/3G/noisy **** that y'all have to deal with -- just trying to cut out as much of that as possible so that system can dedicate more resources towards everything else.

no clue if it works, really, the thing is, nothing to measure it against, but the main point is, I have yet to see a borked ROM installation since Ive been doing this, so I guess if its not working its not hurting, if its working, then its not hurting :)

Do we still need to go through those steps of the hacked up clockword recovery or is this flashable with TWRP?

Basically I want to be able to switch roms without PC access if necessary.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] devilot:
I flash mine with TWRP just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
I use a widget called Dazzle on my phone (I work in the backcountry with no signal except the high ridges, so I save battery but keep GPS). Tried it on the Fire to disable cell radio and I get the screen below. I'm not sure how to interpret it, but maybe someone else does? I did press the "Turn off radio" button on that screen, but saw no changes.

The other option I tried was Juice Defender Ultimate that I also use on my phone to manage data and wifi, since it has a tablet mode that is supposed to disable the cell radio (only in the paid version with advanced mode). I just have no way to verify that it is actually off. Maybe that will help someone.

Im running ics on my fire right now, but i would like to try out cm7 as it seems more functional. Can i just wipe data and then flash the new rom, and can someone point me to where the latest rom is for download?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
Yes. Factory reset In TWRP Then flash cm7 then gapps

Before You boot Clear dalvik

The latest is called update.zip in the OP.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] arh2o:
Hi whistlestop, amazing! Can you comment a little bit about the smoothness? Is there any noticeable lag? When playing games is the hardware acceleration enabled?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MayfairDROID:
Bluetooth will more than likely not work unless you have a custom Kernel as well that enables it...At this point, I dont believe any of the Developers have tried to get a kernel with BT working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
Smooth as a baby bottom.I don't see any lag nor hiccups
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gloos:
Are you using ADW ? I find it to be sluggish when Go launcher is smooth.

Also, does anyone know how to lower the media volume?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Testing looks good so updated the link. The ROM now supports video in the browser as well. Check the new link in the OP.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
i use adw ex. and for lowering the media just use a volume widget or something
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gett:
Even then, IF we have custom kernel enabling BT, I believe that it will be like in the Nook Color -> working on low distance, because Kindle have no BT antenna. IMHO
[Kindle Fire Android Development] michintom:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Understood on the work thing. On lunch right now so catching up. Tonight would be great. I'll get everything in the base image. If can get a Bluetooth loadable kernel module built from the Amazon kernel source then I'm hoping I can just insmod it and give it a try.

Thanks for the help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Can you get a logcat dump while it fails and post. I can at least verify I'm not missing a library it needs.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
It's ok. I decided not to use widgetlocker anyway.

By the way, I try to watch ppstream but it failed and inform me that my device couldn't support H.264 video. I afraid I mess up with something when flashing the CM7.

I am sorry for all the troubles and thanks for all of your great work.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] adam900710:
Thanks for your CM7.

It works like a charm on my KF.

However , I want to add some mod for the kernel (especially CPU governor).

But in you git repo , there is only binary kernel, no source.

Would you please tell us which kernel repo are you using for this build?

Is that this repo created by g1011999?

WiFi icon no longer green

I noticed that the WiFi signal icon no longer reflects the signal strength in green. The entire icon is white. Is there an icon pack i can install or at least fix this on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Which of the three stock themes are you using? The status bar colors change with each one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mhowell031:
I've switched from theme to theme and the only thing that changes is the color of the battery icon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Do you reboot after changing themes? You will not see all theme changes without a reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Masssy:
Actually, I seek an answer on this too. What does the white color actually mean? Sometimes my phone decides to go white on the 3G network, during this time I cannot surf the web. The WiFi icon goes white sometimes too but I believe the connection works despite that.

So in CM7, white signal means what?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
If you're not using any themes, the difference between white and green is that green wifi has successfully gotten in touch with Google (source: the Android user's guide for 2.3.4 found here).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MMDominator88:
Easier to understand than above post

http://androidforums.com/nexus-s-4g/348265-white-wifi-signal.html#post2780718

White simply means the phone/tablet/device has not _yet_ successfully logged in to your Google Account in the cloud; however you still may be able to use the internet and transfer data without problems - White does NOT mean something is wrong

Edits:

"If your signal bar is white instead of green, it means the phone doesn't have a good reliable connection to Google services. It turns green when you do. This is a feature with Android 2.3."

Weird. I always have a white WiFi connection but use the market, gmail, G+, etc with no problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Lucifus:
My apologies if this has been asked before; but how in god's name do you guys access volume control?

Is there some intuitive feature built into the rom that I'm missing?

I love the on screen controls on the bottom left; is there some onscreen method to bring up volume controls?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
I use the volume control and brightness control apps from RubberBigPepper.

https://market.android.com/developer?pub=RubberBigPepper

Gives you on screen control that is great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
white - no access to google servers

green - you have access to google servers.

cool feature.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MaxRabbit:
You don't need on screen control; if you disable automatic brightness then in the CM7 settings you can enable swiping along the status bar to be your brightness setting :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Tried it, did not like it. I kept making other buttons react and it was like throwing ping pong balls into a box of set mousetraps. Plus when you hide the status bar watching video on full screen, then you have to do more to adjust. No thanks. Those two work perfect for me.

Alright guys &gals, heres my problem. Don't ask how..

1.data,system,cache,dalvik = wiped.

2. Sd card = empty.

3. Only boots to twrp. When i run kfu to normal, black screen.

4. Try to mount in twrp = nothing, doesn't mount.

Does anyone know how i can access my sd card to put a rom on it?

If someone can tell me if i can run cmd and adb to help that would be greatly appreciated.

Please help!!

TWRP has a mount USB option, can't remember exactly what header it's under, but look around, it's in there.

Just hit mount and then mount usb storage...then put rom file on and flash.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slim_thumb:
I tried CM7 for once. It is much lighter than the KF firmware (no OEMware and bloatware) and uses less RAM (because of lack of bloatware services). However, it does not feel as fast and smooth as the 6.2.1 (I use the rooted version), even after using CPU Master to increase the min. to 600 MHz as I did in the 6.2.1 ROM. Also I continue to have problems with Android Market for no apparent reason, so I switched back to 6.2.1 - fresh install and Market is working perfectly again (hope it stays so, fingers crossed!)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] RKight:
I have to say...even if this gets no better and, even if we don't get a fully working ICS, I'm really happy with this. I paid over $300 for a Viewsonic gtab a while ago and I didn't care for it. It was huge and wasn't any faster than my Kindle Fire. I like the 7" format a lot better than the 10"+ format and am glad I sold the gtab. Thanks for all the work you've put into this and I'll donate as soon as I'm able. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DesDr0id:
2 bugs I've noticed (though minor annoyances):

- The headphone icon does not consistently go off when headphones are removed.

- The soft button for fullscreen (the button that has 2 down arrows) shows inconsistent behavior, showing on the main desktop window at times randomly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
I see the full screen button randomness. Eventually the status bar does an FC and restarts, then will not do it again until a reboot. I've not see the headphone one, but I hardly listen to music on mine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DesDr0id:
Correct, the status bar will eventually FC. However I've seen the issue randomly reoccur even without a reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
All, thought I'd check in and give a status on the CM9 front (as I'm not spending much time on the CM7 front at the moment)

I'm (yet again) following in the footsteps of JackpotClavin who's been blazing the trail for about a month on the CM9/ICS port (you can follow progress at [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419187" this post [\URL] if you care to check in)

Right now ICS is building for the Kindle Fire. As of yesterday (when I finally got a build to succeed) the state of the art was:

-Boots (still requires a hand mod to the ROM post build but hey, we did that for CM7 up to a week ago)

-Hardware acceleration works (everything in Quadrant seems to work as expected)

-Wireless works (no known issues that I saw at least in my testing)

-Sound works some of the time. In my build (from an Ubuntu 11.10 environment) the sound works at times but at other times (like when playing a H.264 movie in MX player it's silent)

-Google apps works (as long as you get the 4.0.3 gapps version)

Obvious stuff that doesn't work yet (again at least for me)

-hardware decoding of videos

-video in the browser

-light sensor (also doesn't work in my CM7 port)

I was able to successfully upload the OPAM4 hardware decode firmware to the DSP last night after some hacking but even with that in place I couldn't get the hardware decoder to work so more work there.

I'll check back when the next milestone is reached (meaning that something that isn't working right now is fixed)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
has anyone figured out a fix for the scrolling lag problem? This is the only thing bugging me about CM7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Two ideas. One the IMEI fix above. I did it, and it is probably all in my head :o , but my KF CM7 seems smoother and quicker in scrolling and screen change behavior after doing it.

Second, in settings, cyanogenmod settings, performance, uncheck "enable surface dithering" and check "use 16bit transparency". Watch out the dragon does not burn you on the way in. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
Thanks. I'm trying out your second set of ideas. So far there seams to be a slight improvement.

All,

Just updated the ROM links to point to the latest versions. This update is just a few tweaks. The recovery option has been removed on reboot (as it continues to cause problems for folks). The search button has been removed from the soft buttons by default to make room for the home button that is now on by default in the soft buttons (as that again seems to be a source of constant questions)

While I built and tested the changes I didn't make the updates. You have IngCr3at1on to thank for that.
