Hmmm...well i know this is gonna sound ridiculous LOL, but No Sound comes from the Speakers. Even is i plug in a set of headphones....am i totally missing something here? LOL....i feel like an idiot asking. ive heard about Sound issues on the KF before. Ive opened Netflix and get no sound at all. i have Volume Control and anothe apps as well. Actually i cant test sound thru Google Music cause it wont sync my Music. but ill try it thru Amazon Mp3 now....Is there a separate fix for Sound on CM?...thanks for the help
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MaxRabbit:
Are you turning up the Media Volume? System Volume will not affect the volume for Netlfix and such.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] reverepats:
Yeah..im not sure, its very possible im doing something wrong.....ive turned up the Volume in Settings and in volume Control as well...

Hey folks!

Not trying to rust/be impatient, just curious as to where bluetooth development is at this point. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Since there's no BT antenna I don't think it will be possible from a physical standpoint. The 1271 chipset does both wifi and BT, but you can't have BT and wifi sharing an antenna. Even if you expose BT and get it "working" the lack of an antenna will make it functionally useless.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andTab:
Please do a little more research before posting stuff like this.

The NC also has no bluetooth antenna and bluetooth works just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Hey if I'm wrong, great. I have a BT headset I'd use for sure. I just don't expect much and I don't put much stock in "fine" on Nook Color (and from what I've read it isn't really all that "fine"; range is extremely limited), though I'll always welcome what I can get. I'm also not the first to say it in the thread, it just got missed because some other moron called the existing port of ICS "stable". It's promising and I'm eagerly anticipating it, but I would not call it "stable" just yet. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I just want to verify that it's ok to go from this to a stock backup through TWRP.

One other thing, I have the soft buttons supposedly locked to keep an app from going full screen (cm7 settings) but some apps still do. I don't like having to hold down the power button and then selecting back or home, is there a way around this?

Does anyone have the source of this? I have been looking for it for a while. I want to start contributing, but without a source I can't do much.

It may be better for you to look for the ics source... as this rom is basicly bugless and ics is thr next big thing :)

All,

Back from Holiday so picking up where I left off. I've had a few folks ask about source. I've updated the OP with the link to the GIT repo and the directions for building your own update.zip. I'll continue to update that as I get rid of the last few obvious bugs (having to hand remove the gps.omap4.so file to get around the boot loop, fixing the WiFi initialization...)

I'm off doing a build now to test with on the gps library issue and I'm compiling the source that I was pointed to from the CM team to allow me to correctly initialize the MAC address so I'll be testing over the upcoming days to hopefully get rid of those two issues.

I'm still poking at the bluetooth stuff (for those that have been asking) Learned a lot over the break on how it's supposed to work so time to put that to work and see if I can get the chip to talk to me. The status is still in the same spot as before, we don't know if the UART is actually wired up on the chip. If so, then I think we should be able to get this working as well as the BT on a nook (meaning very limited distance as there isn't a built in antenna) if not, then this will be an interesting learning experience but nothing more. Time will tell.

Next, once I get the wireless working correctly and fix the build issue I talk about above then I'm probably going to move myself to ICS as CM7 will work good enough for me (modulo probably continuing to poke at bluetooth to see if I can make any progress there) So, that means that I'm not going to be doing a lot more bug fixing post those couple of specific issues.

I just wanted to set everyone's expectations on where my time is going to be spent as I go forward. If anyone wants to pick up from where I leave off then the repo will be available. Also, I'm talking to the CM team to see if I can get all this added as an official device to the CM builds which would mean that anyone that wanted to contribute could do so there.

Take care and Happy New Year to all.

I found that you can change the density to 161 and this game will work along with everything else so no need to go all the way to 180.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CptanPanic:
Thanks for your work. Can you include one of IntersectRavens fast kernels?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] RKight:
I don't know if this is really useful to you or not but I did my research before I flashed anything to my Kindle and I read where some people pushed the stock wlan_loader file, using adb, and it fixed their MAC problem. What I did was simply replace the wlan_loader file in the CM7 update zip with the stock one, then flashed CM7. Upon boot, I checked my MAC address and it was different than the one that I've read everyone else ends up with after flashing CM7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
That's good to know. I noticed that going to 180 (and then experimenting, going to 220) makes system text and icons larger, allowing less and less to fit on the screen (which makes sense since we're talking about scaling for high-DPI screens). It's kind of a relief to take it up to 180, but 220 was way too crowded and 200 still felt a touch too "big")
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eman3316@optonline.net:
One issue is once you change it from 160 apps in the market will give you a message saying your device is incompatible and it will not let you download it until you change our back to 160.

Not sure why the game forecloses at 160. I have my epic 4g touch set to 160 and it works fine.

I've been building my own nightlies for the xperia play for a while now(no dev work, yet), and I wanted to do the same for the kindle fire. I have everything set up properly on my computer(running linux mint 12) but when I try to brunch blaze I get an error with libdl.so stating that its base address of 0xAFF00000 is out of range.

I'm still very new at this, so any help is appreciated

[Kindle Fire Android Development] btonetbone:
I absolutely love having CM7 on my Fire!! Thanks a ton.

I have noticed that Cell Standby is using up some ofbmy battery. Is this normal? Or can it somehow be disabled?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
I haven't run into that incompatibility note on any of the apps I've gotten, but if I run into it I'll know what to do. Thanks!

Hmm, I just looked and the same for me. In the 23h18m29s it was last off the charger, 6% of my battery use is "cell standby". And of course Time Without Service is at 100%, but that's certainly to be expected.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] eman3316@optonline.net:
Once the app is installed there is no issue, the issue is with the market. Clear data and restart your market once you are on a new resolution. They go to the market and try to download some apps, like opera mini for example. It will tell you that you cannot download it because your device is incompatible. If you have another way of getting the .apk it will install without a problem.

Unfortunately my wife's favorite game is Words with Friends so I have to keep the altered resolution so she can play it but is annoying because of the market issue...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
All,

Ok, new uploads available. This "should" fix the MAC address issue as well as the GPS OMAP4 build issue. I've pushed the updates to the GIT repo so make sure to pull again if you are building your own KANG image.

At this point, you should be able to just do a brunch blaze and load the resulting update.zip onto your device (no hand editing required anymore and the resulting update.zip is signed correctly as well post the build.

Take care

Does anyone have a recent build (that does not auto wipe) they would upload please, or is the op links updated?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MMDominator88:
MD5sum is different from 12-27, so..

The md5sum of the wipe-all is different than the previous version I downloaded on 12-27, so I'm going to assume that @whistlestop has updated the OP of both the wipe-all and non-wipe versions posted. Someone, if they would please, to verify this - this is the program I use for MD5sum checking (http://download.cnet.com/MD5-Checksum-Calculator/3000-2092_4-10964258.html) - or any program you use normally. If the OP would think it worthy, we could post previous md5sums for previous version downloads.

My wipe-all file has the md5um of 6c586a4270988f9fd398213eb71f1243.

Looks like 240 plays nice with everything. It will make things larger but everything works in the market as well as Words with Friends.

What does fixing the Mac address do?

Edit...Seems like the Mac address fixes an issue if you are running more then one kindle on a network...

So what is the other fix for, the gps.omap4.so library?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
It wouldn't install Go Locker at 240, but that seems to be about the only app I've found that wouldn't install. I love it at that size as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chipg07:
Whistlestop,

I noticed that the framerate on the next to last quadrant animation is back down to 10 instead of 50, like before. Is this supposed to be this way? It also pops up with a message i have never seen about software rendering...

Thanks

Edit... i also just noticed the gallery is super slow... it takes forever to change folders and just seems very slow.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Xplorer4x4:
I noticed there is battery information when i pull up the notification curtain. I have looked every where in settings but cant figure out how to disable it. I dont believe its enabled by default. Can any one tell me how to disable this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eman3316@optonline.net:
Did you clear market data? The 240 setting is a WVGA resolution and should play well with every app out there. That is the default setting on my Sprint SGS2 and have not had any compatibility issues with anything in the market.

Don't have the Kindle with me now to check...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
I'm seeing the same issue with my live wallpaper. Did the hardware acceleration problem get looked over?

[EDIT] Removed "0 1 android" from /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg and it fixed the problem. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412663)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eman3316@optonline.net:
Is this just an issue with the new update that was released?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
I removed that line and changed the other with the 0 0 to have 0 1, which really cranked up the Quadrant score. Not sure what it did for anything else though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
It's just a build issue. I used to have to hand remove the file from the generated update.zip file post the build. For people who are trying to build their own KANG that's a PITA so I went ahead and tracked down the right config files to get it to not generate (so no editing needed anymore)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Hmmm... I left in the software renderer rather than hand removing it as it only seemed to make a difference on the quadrant score and that's because of a bug in quadrant where it forces the software renderer to load rather than using the provided hardware rendering. The fix is either changing the egl file or just removing the libGLES_android.so file in /system/lib/egl (that's the file I removed from the last ROM to force the quadrant load of the correct library)

I'm running a live wallpaper and it all seems to be working fine. I'll poke around a bit and see if I can come up with a solution that doesn't require any hand edits.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Crap, I thought I had rolled back the change to the egl file I made while I was experimenting with trying to get the right renderer loading but if you're seeing that message that means that I didn't. I'll go revert the change for real this time and re-spin the ROMs. Probably later today as I'm traveling today.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
I only did it because everyone else did. It doesn't seem to mind my 240DPI setting, it seems to play games well, and it makes my e-peen grow like MAD! :D

edit: after seeing your last post, it seems like it's good that I did.

Assuming you're only changing egl.cfg, do I need to flash again? Or am I cool since I did it by hand? (well, of course I'm really cool, just curious about the reflash...lol)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Yep, that's the only change so no need to reflash. Uploads later today with the fix.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dougivks:
not sure if this is a CM7 issue on the fire, or from root, or what. But i've noticed a few apps will not save settings. For example, the ESPN Sportscenter App. Every time I load it up it changes the home teams back to default (or something, last time it was all Utah based teams as favorites). Ubersocial seems to be the same way, it remembers my login information, but changes my notification settings and a few others back to default everytime. Not a big deal, just wondered if anyone has these same issues, or if I just missed an easy fix somewhere.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fulvi3tto:
i have noticed a bug related to the sound, i don't know if it's already known.

Sorry to bother you could you drop a couple of lines as a howto? Filenames would be especially helpful. Much appreciated!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AproSamurai:
/system/App/phone.apk

/system/app/telephonyprovider.apk

You can delete them with root explorer or any means you use. I've not done it myself but I'm sure it'd be fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slippers67:
You need to use rootexplorer or es file explorer, mount /system as writable, and navigate to /system/app/. You can then find phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk and delete them. As soon as you delete phone.apk you'll get constant force closes, so you'll have to reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
edit: i'm stupid.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
thx for the names, just deleted them via adb and rebooted.

only thing that's crashing so far are mobile network settings (because it's trying to start com.android.phone.Settings which doesn't exist anymore).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ragul40:
DO NOT DELETE THOSE. I did aswell and when I touched emergency cal at the lock screen things got messed up. The device would not respond or turn off. adb did not recognize it either. Did a hard reset b pressing the power button for a minute just to be sure. Then It did not boot after the the bootloader. I had to go into TWRP and flash t again. It still did not work. In the end I fixed it by deleting everything via system wipe and factory reset. I flashed again itht hose apk's included and everything worked again. This is just a warning
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Steve125:
If that happens you should just have to wipe cache and davlik and reflash the rom. It will restore the phone and telephony apk's and you wont need to set everything up again.

I just installed The Adventures of Tin Tin. It's very very pixelated / low resolution. I read the thread and it says to install Chainfire3D. I installed and rebooted. It made the opening Gameloft graphic sharp, but the game graphics are still very pixelated.

You'll be fine I'm sure. My background is much the same (wrote OS's for awhile in the day doing low level C and more recently have been doing C/Objective C on the iOS platforms to learn that environment as well)

It took me a few days to read up on how things work and become productive in regards to Android and ROM building (spent most of the time getting a working build environment on Ubuntu 11.10).

Back when I started in mid December I had no CM7 ROM experience and I'm now feeling relatively comfortable (with the CM7 code base that is, haven't looked yet to see how much CM9 has changed things but that's next weeks challenge)

Good Luck!

So these settings are not normally found inside this ROM without the user installing a separate application, as you have done. I want to say the settings you are looking for are probably found within the configuration settings of THAT widget - not within the settings of CM7 itself.

I forgot to mention i tried uninstalling and it was still there but looking beyond that, why would it produce 2 notifications? I will check some other apps but I have no other battery apps installed so I suspected it was something in settings as it first showed up after tweaking the settings.

Deleting/Renaming those also makes it impossible, at least on both of my Kindle Fires, to get to Settings>About Tablet>Status due to FCs that occur when selected.
