Hi All,

Does anyone know how to change the size of the sort-buttons (home, menu, back, etc)? I couldn't find it at settings->CyanogenMod settings->Table tweaks.

The size is quite small, sometimes I press wrongly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BAM1789:
As far as I know there is no way of resizing the soft key buttons within the ROM, but there is a pretty good ICS theme in the themes and apps section that makes those buttons bigger and easier to press! Give it a try! Plus its ICS looking goodness! win.

Advantage over CM9

First, thanks for the great work.

I have a question I hope one can answer, what is the benefit of CM7 over CM9 now that CM9 also supports many things? Is HD video supported on CM7, or Bluetooth? is power saving, or video acceleration better?

Please, I am just confused about what is a stable ROM with most support for the devices.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
CM7!!!

As of right now the CM7 ROM is MUCH more stable than the CM9/ICS ROMs. Running smoothly especially with ADW Launcher EX, CM7 come with the free version of ADW launcher(which is still pretty nice). Plus, there's a nice little ICS theme for CM7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tim.embeddedfreelancer:
Appreciate this tip! It works great with this theme xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392712

the only problem I have with this rom is that, when I play the YouTube at Opera Mobile, the video is not displaying probably. not sure it happens to others.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] LanceDiamond:
Well I *think* I've built and flashed CM7 - if so, it worked so well it actually fooled me.

I rebuilt my VM from scratch and very carefully followed the directions in the OP here. Everything worked on the first try and I got a .ZIP file in /out/target/product/blaze.

Copied this .ZIP (the unsigned one) to the root of the SD card on the Kindle. Booted into TWRP, flashed (Install/Flash) the .ZIP I just copied over and rebooted.

Now for the me being confused part...

While working on getting the build env setup, I'd been running CM7 that I downloaded from the OP here. I had installed a bunch of apps, changed the launcher and such and had it just like I wanted it so of course I backed it up using TWRP before doing this flash to preserve all that customization. When I booted into my freshly installed .ZIP, all my customizations are still there? Even a game I just installed from Amazon a few minutes before I did the TWRP flash was there.

I'm not getting any errors in TWRP other than the thing about not finding /misc which I understand is expected and normal. In fact the TWRP output flashing my ROM and the one from the OP here look about the same. It seems to have flashed my .ZIP. But I'm not entirely sure it did because I'm not quite wrapping my head around how all my stuff is still there - is it because it's in /data and flashing a new .ZIP doesn't whack /data by default? I am fairly sure my build.prop reverted to one that doesn't think it's a GT-1000...

I'm very very close - or maybe there - it's not entirely clear to me right now lol.

Any clarification greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
If you just want to make everything, in general, bigger you can also use a utility to change what the system thinks your pixel density is (I use one called LCD Density from the Market)

https://market.android.com/details?id=lv.n3o.lcddensity&hl=en

The default is 160, but if you set it to 180 or 200, you'll see everything gets bigger because it thinks everything is smaller. I really like it set at 200.

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

As you guessed, all your stuff is in /data. If you're feeling brave (and have whistlestop's ZIP on your /sdcard partition for that matter) you can get into TWRP, wipe /system, and then flash your ZIP. If all goes well it'll boot. If you don't have a bootable ZIP then when you reboot...well..it won't boot, but you can get back into TWRP again and flash whistlestop's again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
NEED Help! Repost.

Seriously, there's something funky with the recent "update.zip" link you put up. I've downloaded it twice and both times I got a bad bad warning from Kaspersky. I scan it for viruses and nothing. I put it in my download folder on my sd card of my kindle via usb. I booted into TWRP, made another backup, wiped my cache and dalvik, tried to flash the "update.zip", and got an error stating that the zip file could not be opened. I had no trouble with the "update-wipeall.zip"when I flashed from stock on the 4th.Can anyone help me?

My winXP Avast antivirus goes off frequently on files I download via xda-developer forum links. I see these three regularly, the PUP I do not worry about based on

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=91729.0

and

http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/PUP.

The trojan was moved to chest and deleted:

ELF:Lootor-C [PUP]

ELF:Lootor-H [PUP]

Android:KungFu-AA [Trj]

I also run the avast apk on my kindle and phone, never an alert. Just rescanned the update.zip for kindle that I have from the OP about three weeks back, and it is clean.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
I'm getting clean scans, too. BUT it still doesn't explain why the "update-zip" won't flash in TWRP. The update-zip won't even unzip.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] altitude909:
your virus scanner could have flagged it as a false positive, turn off the scanner and try downloading again or restore it from quarantine
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Thanks, I just might after I find out what this means:

"The trojan was moved to chest and deleted:

Freaks me out. WAS there a trojan in it?

In CM7 Tablet Tweaks I set it up so the holding the power button gives you options like home, back, and menu and then set it up so menu unhides it. When you hold the powerbutton and press menu, it'll unhide the status bar.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MayfairDROID:
Ok. I am running the 12/14 update of CM7. I have loaded the Amazon video apk (ATVAndroidClient.apl). I installed no problem. I select a prime video topurchase so I can log on, and get the error "Your Device is no longer configured correctly to play amazon videos"...I am rooted from the CM7 installs, but have the OTARootkeeper installed, and have unrooted. When I click continue, put in my email and password, it get "An Error has occurred, please try again". Can anyone else see if theirs works? Thanks, Shane.

.

Edit: Also, my netflix has horrible speech video sync...anyone else the same?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moonlonely:
This is normal. Unfortunately Amazon Instant Video won't work on a rooted device and since CM7 is pre-rooted, there's not much you can do about it.

OTA Rootkeeper doesn't seem to help when running CM7 (although it does work with a stock Kindle Fire that's been rooted).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
I tried several video streaming app, like ppstream, pptv. All are giving me error saying that my device is not able to play H.264 video. With stock rom, i hv no issues like this. Did I do something wrong while flashing cm7? Missing codec?

My nexus one with CM7 has no this issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MayfairDROID:
That was what I was afraid of....Will OneClickRoot unroot CM7?

I am curious if it will work or if it is a problem with CM7...

Thats a big NOPE...hahaha
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gloos:
Any idea on how to import the stock kindle app?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MayfairDROID:
Someone will need to pull it and post it up...Id be interested to see if it works, although based on the issues folks were having with the alternate launchers not opening the stock app, I wouldn't keep my hopes up....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tex321:
About the log files, both log and last_log I downloaded are named last_log have the same size and I did not see any deference between them, should I proceed?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gloos:
Yes just rename them accordingly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
I'm not sure that's totally correct. I sideloaded the Amazon Video app onto my LG Revolution phone, ran Rootkeeper and was able to log in to Prime no problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
I don't know if this has been asked already, but are you going to stop once you get all these bugs filled? Or are you going to continue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
I gotta think I missed something. Can you post a URL that causes the problem so I can get the logcat output

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] golym:
I play the video with moboplayer. and i found it was decoding with software. not hardware.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
How to get the logcat?

Are you playing MP4? I have the same issue, it used to decode by hardware. Right now I have issue to play video streaming app, and the error i get is "missing H.264 codec", strange.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigjkcfan:
I know when upgrading ANY rom you should ALWAYS back up your data, but when this is installed, does it wipe everything or doe it just write over what it needs to and leaves data/apps intact?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
It wipes everything. Even updating wipes everything.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
Does the Kindle Fire have GPS? If so, it doesn't seem to work.

Also, is there a way to adjust the volume in the Notification bar, similar to the stock Kindle Fire ROM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kjwalker:
The KF does not have GPS. And as of yet there is no way to change volume via the notification widget bar, however there are many volume widgets available on the market.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] riverzhou:
Search wifigps in android market, you will find it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
No, a completely different program. It was in a PC program for a phone. Not for the kindle. I have NO alerts on the update.zip for the kindle that is causing you trouble.

Oh. Gotcha. Example of what happens. So do I just need to completely disable protection while I download and place it on my kindle?

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

I get a win rar msg when I try to even open it. Also pictured is my AV. Lil help? Turn it completely off ? Yes?

http://imgur.com/STiRv

EDIT: Had to completely disable my Kaspersky to download and put on to my kindle. Hmm. Crazy. Works now, though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
You should be fine. The update.zip only updates the system partition while leaving your data and sdcard intact so you get the update without loosing anything. Now that said, there are times that you need to wipe the data partition as well (like moving from CM7 To CM9) or you'll get nothing but errors as config files have changed.

So, you should be good to go and welcome to ROM development.

Is there any way to remove the "Emergency Dial"?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Emergency dial is part of the phone.apk which can be found @ https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Phone

I haven't looked into the matter of actually removing the emergency dialer but if you were to go about it that is where I would start. You can of course edit the files directly in your locally synced repository but a cleaner way would be to find the code you need and supplement your changes in the form of overlays which you could add into the device folders relative to https://github.com/IngCr3at1on/CM7KF/tree/master/device/amazon/blaze/overlay

Any changes you make to an apk that will be called by another apk (such as removing mms for example) will cause force closes when opened by another program (don't click mms [if you remove] from within another app, such as contacts unless you want a force close).

Anyway hack away
[Kindle Fire Android Development] devastater:
I have been using this rom for awhile now. Thank you for it is sweet. I was having some force close problems so i reinstalled wiping everything and used the wipe all update.zip My question is regarding the keyboard i was suee that before i reinstalled my predictive text dictionary was working and i had all the numbers across the top. I dont now. Am i missing something?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Yeah, it's not just you, I personally use the swype beta on cm7 prefer it over the stock keyboard anyway. Whatever the cause it's on the AOSP or CyanogenMod's side.

I tried a build using the AOSP gingerbread keyboard hoping it was cm but same issues.

Have a Kindle rooted, 6.2.2 with TWRP and Go Launcher. Otherwise stock.

Want to give this ROM a try. Here's my question. I want to install as per the instructions on the first post which says:

If you're coming from a STOCK ROM then use this version to flash. It will wipe the data and cache partitions (as well as the system partition) as a part of the flash process which should get rid of any FC issues.

I have all my books, videos, movies, music etc. in the /mnt/sdcard directory. Will these be wiped out by the install?

Same question for apk's that I've installed?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
No, only the old ROM is wiped, not sdcard. Get Ti backup, since your apps will be wiped.

Flashing. Nervous.

E:cannot load volume /misc!

I know it will do that, I read the first thread, but how long should it take cause now it's just sitting, not giving any indication that its doing anything.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Its done. Wipe cache and reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] harry_fine:
Thank you devs. My first ROM, and it works great.

Question. I've read conflicting messages in this LONG thread about whether or not to remove telephony.apk, phone.apk etc.

Is this recommended, and will it get rid of phone stuff?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Totally optional. I never mess with it. Battery life and performance is good enough for me, though that is supposed to make it even better.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] harry_fine:
One other question. All my books are intact in the sdcard. I installed the Kindle reader, but it doesn't want to see them. It shows the books in the Amazon market, but when I click "On Device", none appear.

Perhaps in the wrong location for the Kindle Reader???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, they are in /Books on Amazon ROM, I moved them to /kindle with CM7. Most were fine, but some had to be re-downloaded to the KF from Amazon.

Just wanted to say, this is my first experience with a non-stock ROM. On my Galaxy S2, I'm waiting for ICS so haven't bothered, but I took the leap today, and for anyone sitting on the fence, it's fantastic. Everything works, and it's now a full-featured tablet with access to the entire Android market.

So many more menus and settings. So much more control. Much easier to use.

Thank you again developers.

So I followed the instructions to build from source, did that and compiled. I flash my update zip, it says its installing, I reboot and it goes through the fire screen but then the screen stays black and nothing happens, all the files seem to be there so I'm not sure why I did wrong.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I just did the same but without any issues. Built CM7 and installed the generated update-squished.zip with no issues. I did a cache/dalvik wipe before installing my build on top of whistlestop's update-cm7-wipeall.zip from 011312.

uhh yes but you gave literally no information to allow for someone to help. what configs do you know exist? theres a million possibilities out there

Exchange? What version? POP? Peer?

If you dont know.. then simply call up the campus IT people. Dont tell them anything about your ROM, thatll complicate things.

Please let me know if you encounter the same status bar FC as I do once your build is successful and you've installed it.

For me the status bar restarts and "recovers" after a little while - however, once I apply the ICS theme (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373295&highlight=kindle+fire) it does not unfortunatly. And since I really like this theme I went back to whistlestop's build from 01/13/12 for now.
