Does anyone else have issues without stuff syncing? I just looked and my Gmail hasn't synced in over an hour. Earlier i checked my Gmail because i was getting notifications from Facebook, but not email. I had 13 emails that it didn't notify me about.

Edit: Well it could be just the network I've been using all night. I've been on a open WiFi network at the hospital. When i got in my truck and turned on my hotspot i noticed some of my notifications coming threw. Could be just switching the networks forced the update or the hospital is blocking the updates off some reason. Just a thought.

Loving this! Got CM7 Running on my kindle now, and it's crazy how much faster it seems. Has anyone got the Amazon VOD app working? I get unknown error linking device even if I unroot using OTA Rootkeeper.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rhasce:
Good day well process is not working for me, after i installed twrp i try to install and all but all my device do is after firefirefire logo it loads twrp and that is it, i read about the problem where you are stuck at firefirefire logo, but mine just goes back to twrp and I dont see any changes on the sd card and it wont install the update.zip any help???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
Another note...on CM7, if I go search for, say, Monopoly for the Kindle Fire on the Amazon AppStore, it doesn't show up. I guess somehow the Amazon AppStore doesn't think I have a Kindle Fire anymore :(

So unless someone has a solution, it looks like your tablet is either a Kindle Fire, or it isn't. I don't know how to get the best of both worlds.

Happened to me yesterday with the update-wipeall.zip

So I downloaded the update.zip and just wiped everything manually through TWRP. (Make sure you check the MD5SUM of the file after you copy it to SD. First time I copied it, the sum didn't match. Had to copy it again.)

Wipe cache, dalvik cache, system, data. Then flash the update.zip (not the wipeall one).

Once you flash, reboot. It should get to CM logo within a minute at most.

IF this doesn't work, try to connect with "adb shell" and issue "idme bootmode 4000"

install thru standard market. i hate amazons app store, other than the free app a day.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
Well, first of all, sometimes a title that has "Kindle Fire Edition" won't even be visible on the Android Market. Sometimes I worry that if I get a title on Android Market on my Nexus One, and transfer it to the Kindle, it won't be the tablet-optimized apk. I don't know what the deal is with the apk files behind the scenes based upon device detection.

Secondly, in this case I'd already bought Monopoly and am not keen to buy it again from Android Market.

I realize this is basically so much whining. You pays your money and you takes your chances.

Still, I do think it's important that people who want to flash CM7 do realize that with all the pros, there are some cons. Notably:

1. No more amazon Instant video

2. Device will show as Amazon Kindle Fire, but now you won't see some apps on amazon market place, and may still not find compatible apps on the Google side.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] rprice07:
Not sure if it has been mentioned (didnt find anything with search for "cert")

But I am at work right now and can connect to my wifi, however the corporate wifi prompts for download of a CA Cert(normally). On this rom it does not prompt for, nor download a certificate.

(tested this also that I can download the cert on my iphone and other android devices (coworkers android devices)

Right now I cant access android market, or surf Https websites on my work's wifi, like i could with Amazon 6.2 OS. (so I

KNOW

it is not a block of any kind on the market)

Just wanted to mention in this as input to help make this a better rom, though I think this window is small it may help a few of us :cool:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
That's what I did.

OP needs to add a segment about install GAPPS at the same time you flash the update.zip so you don't waste so much time once you realize gapps isn't included.

All he really needs to note would be to download the gapps, rename it to just gapps, and then once you flash update.zip(the rom), use the unix command "mv"(move) to rename the file.

Like so:

mv update.zip updaterom.zip

mv gapps.zip update.zip

Then you would just flash the update.zip again.

thanks man. great that sound is working since Calvin is workin on CM9, great ROM to have! thanks to both of you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Ok, next installment. youtube video in the browser is now working. I'll get a few of the people helping me test to take it for a spin tomorrow and assuming things go well then I'll post the next update tomorrow after work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
Oh man I was on pins and needles while it was rebooting.

It took 4 reboots for me. Just so everyone knows.

Is there any way to control the sound?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asatnik11:
Settings->sound->volume

That's the only way I've found so far. There is an app for honeycomb tablets that puts a slider in the notification panel like the stock rom had. I can't find one for gingerbread.

Edit: see my post below
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
^^ You're awesome. Thanks.

This rom is great. Much better than stock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Wow that is actually pretty quick. I was going to hold out for a ICS based ROM and just stick to fastbooting these kernels for now. But 2 minutes... And sound working... Might be doing it up this weekend :)

Anything else (that is major) broken?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asatnik11:
I found a better solution. Search for "volume control" from "rubberbigpepper" on the market. This adds a volume slider to the right side of the screen :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
All updated. Take a peek and see if it makes sense (I just did it and it worked for me)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
My market is fc'ing. :/ trying to fix itl.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asatnik11:
Try clearing data for the market in settings->applications.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
Gah, no dice.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asatnik11:
What we really need is a fully functional recovery to eliminate a few steps from the process :D

Fyi- I successfully backed up my userdata from the previous version of cm7 and restored it to this using adb and dd from recovery. Twas' awesome:) Maybe I'll make a tutorial tomorrow.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
NM its working now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asatnik11:
Edit: nevermind.....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] detnap:
For the market force quitting, installing the new version 3.3.11 worked for me. It is from this link

Link to resolving market crashes in cm7
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
It'll do the trick. Everyone always needs a good dose of common sense when installing these things.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iluretar:
haven't tried this cause my kf haven't arrived yet but clavin said his build had some scrolling lag and that he had a fix that would be on ics when he releases it, does this build has that issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brett10:
It's awesome that you're picking CM7 back up but, I hate to rain on anyone's parade but the KF doesn't have Bluetooth support(no bluetooth chip inside lol). The only bluetooth support would come from a dongle that plugs into the micro USB port, if this is what you mean then carry on :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asatnik11:
There are a few threads in general that suggest the contrary. Evidently the wifi chip has the capability but may or may not be wired in a way that allows it to work.

Just use the file manager incorporated into cm7? It's really useful, and is just as good as astro imo.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xlephant:
hmm i was already on cm7 when is decided to reinstall the system because i was note able to enter the CyanogenMod config (it crashed). now i wanted to install gapps (via twrp) and it does not work. twrp tells me that it installed successful but no new icons appears on my kindle. any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SwingBlade:
I used v .3 and it installed some of the apps fine for me. Voice, G+, framework, and market went on fine but I had to put on Gmail, Talk, etc.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
redownload using dolphin or browser. when i tried downloading it in the xda app it kept getting corrupt or something and wouldn't flash properly. even tho it would say flashed successfully lol.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
I tried it, and use it from time to time but I don't like it as much as Astro.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
Does anyone know why the Amazon Video doesn't work, or what we can look into for fixing it? I sideloaded the app onto my LG Revolution phone and it works just fine on a custom ROM after OTA rootkeeper is used.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
Amazon Video doesn't work on any ROMs for rooted Kindles. barely any rooted devices support it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
Odd. Guess my phone is one of the lucky ones. :-/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xlephant:
I had to change the channel of my ap from 13 to something lower then 12. after that it was working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Casti123:
volume controls..

Hi everybody,

I'm an Italian guy and I just have installed your CM7. That's amazing! really a great job! Thank you.

Just a question. Can you add a couple icons in the dockbar in order to control the volume settings? really dont know if it's possible or not. But I think that it would be the perfct crownig of jour rom.

Thank again guys.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
Download an app called Volume Control by RubberBigPepper. It makes a screen overlay, works wonderfully.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SikYou:
Probably been answered but I could only bring my self to read about 30 pages of this thread :eek:

I tried the mac address fix but in my terminal I get a syntax error after pasting the code for the fix (posted on page 19 or so of this thread). So I still have the mac problem. Anyone get this fix to work properly? Thanks

[Kindle Fire Android Development] MaxRabbit:
Currently, no fix available.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gloos:
I'll add that the same guy makes an app called brightness control as well. Works the same way. Both are apps are handy and awesome.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] atoz350:
CM7 also has a brightness control built in. You can slide horizontally on the status bar to change it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SikYou:
I would like to add volume control to the status bar; buttons and/or slider control. Should be pretty easy because the code would be very similar to brightness control which already exists.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
What are the repercussions of having the same MAC address on all KFs? Just that you can't have multiple on the same LAN? Might possibly pose a problem (I suppose) at Starbucks, but the only place I see a real issue with it is if you have 2 KFs at home and put CM7 on both of them.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] manske90:
Great job getting this working. My only problem is that there is no dedicated home button accessible from any screen (i.e. when in an app).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
Just hit the power button. Cm7 has options to put the back, home and menu buttons in the power options.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] devilot:
I would imagine the issue only rears its ugly head when Mac Filtering is in place.

EDIT:

Ha, on my LinkSys it doesn't even care when Mac Filtering is engaged. My wife and I both have CM7 and it has yet to complain.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
You mean you have a pair of Fires with CM7 and they can both be online at the same time? Neato.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tkalli:
I have two Fires and have no problem with WiFi on home network.​
[Kindle Fire Android Development] devilot:
Yep.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Uejji:
Is the reported MAC address the actual MAC address?

That is, if your wireless router allows you to view which MAC address is associated with which IP address, is it a perfect match with the device's reported MAC address?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
My guess is that it HAS to be no - but I'll find out for sure when I get mine. My AEBS will tell me the MAC and I can compare to what CM7 says.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Uejji:
My instincts and experience agree with you. I can't see how it would be possible for multiple devices with the same MAC address to operate properly on the same network.

Unfortunately I don't get my Fire until Sunday (it's a Christmas present to myself).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] devilot:
I will verify the Mac addy ASAP, but I won't be home again until Sunday evening.

EDIT:

OK. Tried connecting both of ours to my parent's router, no go. They both connect, they both show up in the MAC table, with unique IPs and identical MAC addresses, but the connection starts dropping left and right. =/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
look at tablet tweeks. change soft buttons. that power option button is weaksauce.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thegpfury:
It seems like the reported mac is the actual mac, at least on my router.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nirslsk:
I might be imagining this, but it does seem like the fire gets quite a bit warmer on CM7 than on stock, no?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Uejji:
Understood. It's a more serious problem in that case. The device is obviously spoofing its own MAC address. It must be in a configuration somewhere.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thegpfury:
Yeah, it seems to me that that would be the a random config file or something, right? N

I don't know too much about linux, but that's just my take on the situation. I am sitting on a couple Fire's I was going to give my family members as cyanogen tablets, but I need individual mac addresses for that to work. :P

I saw that there are scripts you can run to change the mac address every time you run the script, could that be run at boot?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webstas:
I i am having the same problem
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lman00:
Funny... everybody here says it's faster... Are you using a different kernel than I? Mine kinda feels sluggish compared to 6.2.1. especially when scrolling. My year and a half old phone scrolls faster :( I tried to tinker with cyanogenmod settings, didn't help
[Kindle Fire Android Development] big gulps huh?:
Im really liking this so far. Just booted in and everything is working as expected. Thank you soooooo much!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
Has anyone thought to add windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec = 120 to there build.prop? It should improve scrolling performance.

Btw I'd recommend using the V6 supercharger script it really tweaks Gingerbread's memory management pretty nicely.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thegpfury:
so I have gone through most of the pages here, and its looking like there is no permenant way to fix the Mac address issue without an update.

is there an eta on when that will be fixed? and if its not soon, is there a way that I can set up one of the scripts that temp changes a Mac address to automatically run at boot?

Amazon prime videos won't work on cm7 for me, has anybody got this to work, switching back to stock is a pain in the buttinski and I really like cm7 over stock..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Epix4G:
Cm 7 is a rooted ROM and nothing will hide the super user on it .... Will have to wait on a hacked version to work on our system...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sl0ttedpig:
Or alternatively, flash it back to stock, get root again for 6.2.1 (published today), install a different launcher, and use OTA Rootkeeper to continue to use Amazon Prime.

Whilst it's not CM7, if Prime is something you want, you can almost have everything without having to use a custom ROM.

I'm tempted myself to go back to the stock ROM, just to have that option. BUT, I'll probably get myself a factory cable just in case Amazon close the current root method.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Houndog101:
Thanks, I did that before cm7 and your right, Its diffidently not cm7.. Netflix works fine, I believe some one will get Amazon prime movies to work on cm7, I've been trying for 2 days..:(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bikeracer4487:
So it seems plenty of people have trouble getting OUT of TWRP, but I can't get IN to TWRP. I followed the instructions at the link in the OP, and I assume they worked because when I boot up my Fire I know see a yellow triangle with a flam telling me to hit the power button to boot into recovery. But when I hit the power button it turns amber and then nothing happens...it just sits there for a while but never goes into TWRP. Eventually, when I get tired of waiting I hold the power button for 10 seconds or so to power it off and then turn it back on, and so long as I don't hold the power button in, it boots up into the main OS just fine, but no TWRP...help?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ratchetandclankf:
I tried the procedure for installing gapps, and now it won't boot into CM7. The KF keeps starting TWRP instead of CM7 when I start it normally.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] big gulps huh?:
Maybe twrp didn't stick? Similar thing happened to me at first, just go through the steps to flash it again (what I had to do)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
adb idme bootmode 4000
[Kindle Fire Android Development] troydog:
Now I want to install this but do not want to lose everything I have downloaded. I am on 6.2.1 rooted.

So can it be done this way? I know I could just copy everything to my pc and reinstall it but hate the set up part of some of the apps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Is OC enabled on this CM7 build? I think it's pretty much stock CM7 but I'm seeing threads with OC kernels - or are those for the Kindle OS? And has anyone OC'd their KF? How does it do? I'm hoping for 1.2GHz but 20% might be a bit much to ask. My phone OC's roughly that well (from 600MHz to 768MHz).

Good gravy, Monday can't come soon enough. Can't wait to run out and get my Kindle Fire with Christmas cash. :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SimranSingh:
Is there a home button anywhere?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
All,

Just a quick update before I go offline for a few days with Christmas festivities.

First, if you've not see "TheKid2's" post here it looks like he may have found a hand workaround to the MAC address issue for now. I've not verified myself yet but one person says it worked for him so it looks promising.

Second, I've spent the past few days beating my head against the bluetooth stuff. There are a lot of parts I have to stand up: et a kernel building with the Amazon source, compile the OMAP bluetooth implementation, rebuild CM7 with the bluez support enabled... I've made some progress (actually able to modload the bluetooth kernel module I built into the running kernel without issue along with most of the supporting modules) but when I try to attach to the driver and upload the firmware it times out waiting for the chip to respond.

I'll continue to whack at it but it'll be next week at the earliest before I get some time to come back and poke at this.

Everyone have a great Holidays and I'll post more when I know it.
