[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
The 4.0.xxxx update, is an update for UI. It should come in 2 notifications for stock tablets.

The first, is a preparatory update. The second, is the actual update.

Note, if you have a rooted tab, as some people can tell, it is not advisable to take any OTA update from acer.

In the forum, if you want to take the update, there is a thread which has rooted versions of these updates.

IceCreamSandwich Development/Discussion Thread

Hello everyone! This thread is dedicated to Hashcode's and JackpotClavin's work.

This is an Android 4.0.3 ROM not meant for daily use! It is based on CyanogenMod 9.

I will not post any instructions how to flash this to your kindle until it is considered to be ready for daily use. If you know how, feel free to do it.

If you want to join us on IRC:

irc.freenode.net #kindlefire-dev

revxx14 created a Google Spreadsheet to collect known bugs. You can find it right here.

Please take a look at it before reporting any bugs!

A rough list what does not work:

Hardware Video Decoding

Light sensor

There is a SOD bug and no, there is no bluetooth.

None needed. :)

The devs do all of this for free, remember that. Buy them a drink! ♥
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
it's actually the vold binary found in /system/bin/vold from cm7 ;-) you'll have to change permissions on it once you push it back to /system/bin/ (i just did a 777), then reboot

that's just to have the sdcard properly mount at both /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard. if you wanna do the mass storage you'll have to download the app and do the commands :) i'm not really a fan of it because unlike other devices, every single filesystem present on our device will mount with the app, so system and data and the sdcard will mount and create like 8 windows on your computer
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
So the zip file above does the sd card mount with that update or not or is a new update file imminent.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] abiezer:
Any hints as to what is or isn't working? At least a vague Idea? Wifi?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
The zip above was only meant for other devs to see if they could get the sdcard working but now it's working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ongoy:
Wifi works. Video playback (Netflix) and some audio (in Angry Birds) doesn't work. Runs pretty good though.

I'm so excited. Thanks for all your hard work guys. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
I've had some random spouts of sound working. sometimes the keyboard will randomly start making those key noises, and it's started working playing angry birds before, but not for long.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

when could you upload a new zip with sd card fix? I'd try a crack at it myself but don't want to mess up anything.

EDIT: nevermind. Seen the new vold file in the op.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shobon:
Excuse me for being blind, but how do I get to the Trebuchet settings?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FroyoShark:
Could you make a flashable zip where the sd-card is working please?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
http://www.multiupload.com/Z5QBY3M80T

Flashable zip with working sd, the launcher from CM9 and the USB mount app. I haven't tested it yet (i am about to flash it). If this isn't allowed then please remove it.

Basically its got vold added to bin, the set_perm line in the updater-zip for it, trebuchet in /system/app and the ICS Usb mounter apk in /system/app.

Enjoy :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] big gulps huh?:
Downloading Now as well. Will report back soon
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FroyoShark:
I should be able to flash this over the other one just wiping /system without any problems, right?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shobon:
I flashed this over the last one with no problem. However the USB Mass Storage Tools don't work. I keep getting an error: "You cannot enable UMS without a USB connection."
[Kindle Fire Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
When it boots you need to do the following:

Check set as default then select:

Trebuchet

com.cyanogeonmod.trebuchet

If the USB mounter comes up just press the back button at the bottom.

ENjoy :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
How exactly do you set permissions to 777? God I sound like a noob. Lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] XperiaPlayer:
I also get the error as well, going to see what it is now. (usb mounter ums)

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

If you use my zip you dont need to set the permissions. However if you are doing it on the device (the way described in first post):

adb shell (or terminal emulator)

chmod 777 /system/bin/vold

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

The SD card seems to work if you type this into adb shell:

echo "/dev/block/mmcblk0" > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

It then pops up on my screen as Removable Device (F:), however windows asks me to format it....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shobon:
If you use adb: adb shell chmod 777 /system/bin/vold

If you use Root Explorer, check all nine boxes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] matthend:
Thanks!!!

Just wanted to reiterate that XDA is the greatest forum ever!! Thanks to all of the guys working on this, you are incredible!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
A official alpha would be nice it's abit confusing as who is in charge on this rom seems live everyone is having a dabble here and there for a fully working rom.Good work though guys.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
I will add this to the OP when I get home later!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
did the op get updated? what version did u install Cody?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
I'll do that later!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
Dude just so you know Task Killers aren't needed by Android anymore. The in house memory management works just fine since 2.2. By constantly freeing up memory those task killers just put a drain on battery life.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Just a few quick questions...

I haven't seen anyone else say anything about this, but I mentioned it earlier: Viewing Storage or App settings crashes the OS. Has anyone else seen this?

Can someone get me the stock bootanimation.zip from this, I kind of messed mine up and would like to not have to flash the OS again...

What's the latest development? We haven't seen many bug fixes or anything for a day or two now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
The current state of my latest build is:

Video still is broken and sound is borked

Wifi battery drain is fixed and sdcard issue is fixed. Apps cannot be moved to the sdcard as there is no sdcard so the one present is almost a "virtual" thing for storing stuff

I've taken out some bits and everything seems more fluid but there are still a few hesitations but they are few and far between. Battery of pure web browsing as I was doing last night for more than an hour drops about 1% every four minutes giving us ~400 minutes of pure web browsing with the screen on which is about 6 hours and 40 minutes of nothing but web browsing with the screen on its lowest setting
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Nice, so do the settings still cause it to crash, or does the virtual sdcard fix that? And does the wifi battery drain fix also fix the 1008 cpu issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
I never has that problem of it crashing, but I just checked and it didn't so I guess we're in business
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
Disable notifications on your Fire, and it will freak out. The only way to fix the problem is by wiping, because it causes the UI to crash - so make sure you backup first :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Good find, I know for sure that's something I would've overlooked, and I bet the devs would've too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cccodyyyy:
The one in the OP, downloaded it last night.

Some noticeable things are video and audio of course.

I haven't tried much, also I just installed Advanced Task Killer to see if it actually worked.

Ignore the messy bedroom in the back, been changing my bedroom around and moving furniture.

Can't embed video for some reason.

But here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7v9BDR5EM0&hd=1

Video showing Ice Cream Sandwich on the Kindle Fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
My build is up on Github currently under KFire-Android. It's using the hwcomposer.default right now. It's buildable.

Edit: it's buggy too. Need a day or 2 to sort stuff out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SirVilhelm:
Where are you guys getting the market from?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cccodyyyy:
Flash the Gapps.zip included in the OP.

http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...v8.koush.zip&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13251954600861
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
What he said. Just to clarify because I made this mistake: Flash it through TWRP, don't extract the zip and try to install that way. It won't work. You have to do it through TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcatt:
Thanks for the update...

Would it be possible to silently post your updated build for all us impatient fools, uhh "early adopters"?

Anyway, I've been running this as my daily driver and now that I have a ICS rom on my phone I don't want to go back to Gingerbread... :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
I think the problem with this is that it takes forever to compile, so they hold off till they make a major step forward. Although I would like to see this too. I've been using it as my main ROM even though I really need audio and video to work to use the thing how I want to (as a media consumption device). I keep recovering back to CM7, and just can't stand it after ICS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
I'll think about it ;-)

Our builds are almost identical

The one I'm running now is going very well. You'd have to do some reconfiguring as you may lose your launcher preferences as a bunch of stuff has changed since your build

I warn you that videos won't play and that sound is almost useless
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcatt:
Sweet, Thanks for considering....

I generally use mine for reading (gasp!) and as a general web/email device. So video and sound I don't use all that much, I have other devices for that.... :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ttabbal:
My max build time is about 1 hour.... If github (KFire-Android) is updated, I can build it. If my ccache is reasonably up to date, it's more like 30min. I'm happy to post builds if the devs don't mind. I've been meaning to help in a more meaningful way, but the current issues aren't areas I'm as familiar with. I'm keeping an eye on things though.

So if it's desired, I don't mind doing daily builds when there are changes, etc.. It's up to them though, I don't want to be causing them more headaches than they already have. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
I think us pre-alpha testers would love that. It sounds like the latest build is up on that github, and I don't see what'd it'd hurt to compile it for us. I'd love to see what works in the latest update :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] matchstick13:
Thats weird because mine will toggle right off and back on. Did you wipe when you flashed the new build?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thomas1218:
This was the rom I was running for a good week or more.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
my wifi also turns off when asleep.

iv'e had two types of this bug/ sometimes if i awaken and wait then it comes back blue on its own, then other times it needs to be turned off and back on.

but not yet had to reboot.

iv'e also been running for awhile now and did a sdcard wipe, factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe before flashing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ZzHacks:
Sweet this rom is coming along nicely!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Currently using this and it all works flawlessly so far, the only complaint is the app dock page switch is a bit laggy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ZzHacks:
Cant wait till this rom has netflix though.. everything else besides chrome beta and some other things are great :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nazull:
problems after loading rom

After I flash the rom, and gapps, it boots up fine, to the setup wizard, and when I touch the Android to begin setup, the setup wizard crashes and restarts making it impossible to get any further. Can someone point me in the right direction? Do I need to flash a kernel with this rom as well?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chiggins:
Make sure you have the correct version of gapps installed, because that happened to me with the wrong version.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
Everything looks okay on my end. Casual use mostly idled. No wifi issues after sleep or sod , only thing I noticed still is Netflix but i could care less lol. But I am on newest rom with newest intersect raven cm9 kernal.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
This is not an ETA request. I guess I'm just wondering where the devs stand on the HW Accelerated video/OpenGL stuff.

Are we stumped? Stuck? Waiting for a lucky break?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scidon37:
My screen began showing artifacts every time I go to the homescreen. Is this related to lack of HW accel or a different issue? Going into the app drawer, taking a screenshot or rebooting clears it temporarily, but it immediately happens again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] csholmq:
Wipe and reflash.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] N23:
set a new background picture - that fixes it...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
Its the new 3d effect....lol.. but yeah changing wallpaper usually solves the problem. If not wipe, reflash, and rinse should do it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
Question is that setcpu for the screenshot?

Edit:

Have to turn my KF sideways to get the options on the left.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nazull:
Another quick question. I know this rom doesn't support HD video just yet, but is there anyway to get standard flash videos to play in the browser?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
any news about hw video decoder, flash player?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
And another kitten dies....killer!

CM7 Infuse - XDA Premium
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Shahpur.Azizpour:
the problem is that kitten don't really interest the xda users. it would be more effective to say: "everytime somebody asks we will push back the release for one month".

;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
AhaHhaH sounds good ...

Folks please stop asking for freaking ETA!!!

Devs have their own lives to take care of, they do it mainly for free and for passion, and things takes the time needed to be sorted out..

If you need things sorted out sooner you can fix them by yourself. Trust me nobody will ever blame you for that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
What's the point.......30 posts of does Netflix work, or I just found that flash doesn't work from now, your post will be so buried that they won't read it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] -FuRBz-:
wouldnt it be an awesome idea if whenever someone entered ETA under the message, xda would recognize that and before letting them submit their message their browser would just close! :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] isaiahhhhh:
I like that idea, but how about instead of simply closing their browsers we make them sterile so they can't make more little eta questions askers (obviously I'm kidding)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] backspacepc:
Is it 2d related or hardware? I might have an idea to fix it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fiddlefaddle:
USB hosting

The title says it all:) has this been enabled yet?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kwakel:
By USB hosting, do you mean plugging in a keyboard or something to that effect? I'm pretty curious about this as well. I thought someone asked about this sometime ago, but I haven't seen anything about that recently. However, I've been browsing too many forums lately and they are starting to run together in my head.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
I dunno.....

Is it in the list of bugs with an updated status?

Is it in the release notes as an improvement?

Try a little research
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
It was refered to, some dozen pages ago but by now it's buried deep into this -200 pages- rumble. I remember clearly that it was enabled -in the kernel level- and (back then) I had made a suggestion of/at how one (with this rom installed) can check whether usb hosting was indeed implemented correctly, but if IIRC I got no answer back (nobody checked?)...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
It was checked before, dmesg gives nothing so it is not enabled. The kernel has to be modified for it, which will take some time if it is possible (think so).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] elfpenner:
Great work guys!

Latest version 02-09 with Gapps installed:

- Good sound!

- Smooth and quickly response

- No screen flickering

- USB drive works

Only a SOD after 6 hours.

But devs; great work!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fiddlefaddle:
So.... this means that it is enabled?:confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
Regarding checking for USB host support - the trusted Chainfire has released a tool to check for this:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
no, USB mounting in Windows.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fiddlefaddle:
Well yes and no :D I was more thinking a USB flash drive...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gadgetman13:
Status report

02_09_Hashcode:

- adb works, but USB drive no longer shows up on the computer. It did in the previous build. Strange. I seem to be in the minority on this one. Didn't the last build detect and have a notification item about whether or not I wanted to mount the drive?

- For whatever reason, I don't seem to have the problem with the CPU stuck at 1008MHz. Most of the time in deep sleep (overnights), then 300MHz, and only a few percent at 1008MHz. Wifi is connected to a WPA2 PSK hub.

- Speaking of Wifi, though, I do have the issue of having to turn off and back on the Wifi after sleeping.

I tend to wipe system and both caches before flashing a new ROM.

Keep up the good work, all!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kodopraha:
Synch calender

After last update calender not synch for me. On google, mobile events is ok and synch but on Kindle no change. Please if somebody has any idea what can be? :( Thank you
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
theres been a few people having issues with using usb try reinstalling drivers from the latest kfu.

i can mount mine in windows 7 64bit & after alot of permission/vendor id issues i can also mount in linux now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
So Im wondering if anyone has voice search or any kind of mic related functionality working. I was trying to use Groove IP but I cant get the KF to register any kind of mic/voice detection.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
I confirmed that voice search is working perfect
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
You're using the 02-09 hash correct. I cant get mine to work, Ive reflashed twice now...

So when I try to use the search bar on top and use the voice search, it says

"Audio Problem"

Ive reflashed back to 1-20 and mic works perfectly. Am I doing something wrong or not flashing something correctly.

Did the 02-09 hash

then GAPPS

Clear cache

and from there I get stcuk with to mic ability. I hear that other ppls mic function is working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cruel91:
Does KF have built-in microphone ??? Or are you using external one ??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bitemeoftn:
External headphones with a mic attached works great!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
So I loaded up SoundHound just because I know it needs a mic to listen to the music and it says

"SoundHound is unable to to detect a working microphone. Another app may have locked the microphone. Please try restarting your phone."

Is it possible for another app to lock down the mic function?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
You'll need a headphone jack microphone plugged in before the Kindle even acknowledges the existence of one. That's true in CM7 as well. If you have one, then that's another story and you may have found a problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdommer:
AdHoc

I resisted the urge to say "Spend the $20 and buy a router." and instead looked at it as an opportunity to learn how to start modifying. :)

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to submit changes to the project. (Someone please PM me!)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Was it only needed to patch wpa_supplicant? Our repositories are at github/KFire-Android, but the last build in this thread are from sitic/vendor & sitic/vendor (we are merging these repositories, the KFire one has a issue currently). I'll have some time (not much) tomorrow evening to include the patch. Did you need to adapt wpa_supplicant.conf/libwpa_client.so or why did the prebuild ones not work?

Edit:

BTW: Did you guys check if the precompiled wap_supplicant was for v0.6? If not test the following: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7716862&postcount=24

2. Edit:

I got the changes from jdommer (thanks =) ), but i currently don't have time to compile & upload it, but i think the patch mentioned above should also work (untested). I'll upload a new ROM tomorrow, maybe also a test version with cornerstone (see next post) if it works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AproSamurai:
Had anyone seen or mentioned this?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/02/14/cyanogenmod-looks-to-integrate-onskreens-cornerstone-and-bring-true-tablet-multitasking-to-cm9/

It's a pretty cool concept.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ArmanUV:
sooo I'm considering buying a kindle fire and coming from galaxy nexus :D I don't think I can tolerate 2.3 . I'm buying this mostly to read pdfs and watch videos.

I know that hardware acceleration doesn't work but does that mean that no videos can be played? I use Plex to watch movies. Has anyone tried to see if it works?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Good f*cking job, sir!

Well done. That's the asterisk I've been looking for. F*ck yes. Agreed, I do need a router, but it benefits everyone if ad hoc works. Besides, I paid extra for the network card on my PC. I'd like to use it, specifically with CM9/ICS. Glad my hounding and b*tching worked. Thank you very very much.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
No plex yet
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
I love all you people on this forum.

This is PHENOMENAL news! Thanks very much to both of you guys(and all you other devs working on CM9). Now, I'll actually be able to use ICS everywhere, including home. I was just using it at my college and when I was at my buddy's or girlfriend's houses. It'll be glorious to run it at home. Again. Thank you guys so very, very much
[Kindle Fire Android Development] synergy7:
just flashed 2012-02-09 cm9-02-09_stock.zip the other day, any way to get my kindle magazine subscriptions back. Thought the kindle app from market would automatically do it but it wants the kindle. Any suggestions?
