Back to the wifi issue of 02-19, I've tried a number of things including something as simple as restarting and it does three different things;

On initial startup where it wants a connection with the "Skip" button at the bottom, I can try to turn on wifi and the section of screen that would list available connections displays "Turning Wi-Fi on..." but the button never goes "on" and nothing is ever displayed in the list.

Tapping the click brings up the setting window and from there I can try to turn on wifi. It indicates "ON" but never turns blue nor does anything actually happen.

From the full wifi settings screen I try to turn on wifi and it flips to ON and then right back to OFF. The available connection list displays "Turning Wi-Fi on..." but nothing actually happens and nothing is ever displayed.

I've tried build.prop settings, different wifi drivers, multiple flashes, wipes and reboots and the best I've been able to do is to flash back to stock, then flash ICS over it WITHOUT wiping anything. When it restarts it sees my router and I can connect but within a few minutes it disconnects on it's own and refuses to connect ever again. Any help with this will be very appreciated.

Edit: Forgot to mention that "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always" every time to no avail.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mdifilm:
yeap, I went into build.prop and checked, all were changed according to another thread I found about the work around, the changes were there already, but it didn't seem to work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdommer:
This part sounds like when I messed up the permissions on my wpa_supplicant file. There may be other ways to get those symptoms, but wrong permissions on wpa_supplicant will do all the things you listed.

Here's from one of my earlier posts on how the file should look - just ignore the parts about adhoc - applies equally well to infrastructure:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Did you check that the md5sum of the .zip matches? Should be 080365c11b2fd69cbdcff9e3baab1e17 , you can check it e.g. with astro file manager. (Or if you use CWM enable that signature verification). It still looks like a broken .zip to me.

The error you describe is typical if it can't load the kernel module, could you give me the last lines of dmesg (use adb shell or terminal app, type su to get root privileges) when you try to turn wifi on?

The build didn't change the wifi kernel module, so i don't see why it's failing. As a workaround you could push the wifi module from a old .zip to the right place, or use intersectRaven's kernel (that also overwrites the wifi module).

The rights for wpa_supplicant are good for me.

You are talking about MIUI, right? Check the file system/etc/permissions/tablet_core_hardware.xml, it should look similar to this one. I've noticed there are still some apps on cm9 that are marked as incompatible, i'll look what fake permissions they need when i have some time.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mdifilm:
Yeap, it is the same, thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
Just flashed 02-19 and had the same problem with WIFI not coming up.

Solution was simple for me: reboot. Now everything works. Terrific! Thanks for all the work!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] markgamber:
Thanks for the info, with all the other things I wanted to check and play with and try I didn't think about the integrity of the zip file itself. I didn't bother with the md5 check opting instead to just grab a new copy and install with an md5 verification. It passed, the install went as planned and then I installed intersectRaven's kernel and it worked first time, every time (so far, at least) and doesn't turn off after a couple of minutes. Success! I did notice that after I had the unit connected to the computer in usb drive mode, after disconnecting "properly" it refused to read the sdcard again but a reboot cured that, also. One of those things, I guess. Anyway, thanks again, I have these versions of the zip files stashed away for safe keeping. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I can't believe I waited this long to try ICS on my Kindle.

This version is absolutely breath taking. Simply amazing.

Ran since last night...no SOD, no freezes or reboot. No issues at all thus far.

Great job everyone involved.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
I'd truly appreciate if someone could enable init.d in the kernel.

As far as I know init.d is disabled since init.d scripts doesn't get started at boot time.

I am having a tough time having to launch all my boot scripts manually each time I reboot.

Thanks :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] -Zeta-:
This ROM is getting better and better, keep the great work up!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
but still no HW Video Decoder :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Love it

With 0219, I've only had minor issues and not often. The biggest issue and it's only happened twice, is with the screen freezing up, wallpaper half disappearing, and icons blurring during screen rotation. I've only had one SOD and it was easily remedied with a hard reset and hasn't happened since. Though I do still have trouble connecting to one specific network, all other connect with ease. Ad hoc works like a dream. And I haven't had any issues with WiFi staying on or turning on since initial boot up. My comics still look nice and crisp, and all my apps work. Good job guys. Loving this ROM. Though it would be nice, I really couldn't care less about HWA at this point. Negligible. Phenomenal stuff. Think this is shaping up to be my new daily ROM
[Kindle Fire Android Development] closurez:
Giving this a go, I dont particularly like the launcher but easily remedied. Would like to see stuff like camera and voice dial and phone removed but can do that myself. Could someone tell me where i would notice the absence of HWA? Great work over all guys.

Edit major problems Reddit is fun crashes repeatedly!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Not for me. Works just fine. Try to reflash.

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

Also, does anyone know if Nova launcher is any better than Trebuchet? What about Launcher Pro?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Compare it with a tablet that has stock android with hwa and you will see that all home screen animations are much more fluid. Even on old hardware like the transformer tf101.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] UrticantOwl:
In addition to the above posts if you try to watch Netflix or YoutubeHD, you'll hear sound but usually see nothing but black space or weird graphical glitches.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlpmail:
I like your ROM but I need Real VNC Viewer.

Real VNC Viewer crashes with all the Kindle ICS ROMs except the Chinese one nipad-android_4.0.3 you may want to take a look at what they are doing?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
PocketCloud Remote RDP/VNC

and

Jump Desktop (RDP/VNC)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spyz88:
Wow, I didn't know about nipad android. I always hate using Chinese software of an unknown origin. However, do they have hardware acceleration working?

I'm trying my best with Google Translate but I can't find anything about it specifically.

EDIT: Answered my own question. Hardware Acceleration is still NOT working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
no, as has been reported in the thread here on our forums.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
Then do something to help.

Reiterating things that are known not to work over and over does nothing to further development. All it does is show that XDA has earned its reputation for being one of the cesspools of the internet because all it appears people can do is complain incessantly about this or that while a select few individuals work their butts off trying to make our devices better every day.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mewshi:
Calm down, will you? It really isn't that harmful to the community here, unlike people ranting about people destroying the community, and the people who refuse to read then scream when it breaks. I get it, it's pointless, but it's not exactly harmful.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] That Baker Guy:
the official boot animation of cm9 has just been released over on google plus or atleast a video of it here it is, thought you guys would like to see it, maybe it'll be on the next update

https://plus.google.com/117962666888533781522/posts/ehVPm3hQiUG
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mdifilm:
Hey everyone, I apologize for the previous post, I thought this thread was about cm9 in general, but then today, I realized it was another cm9 rom, then got it installed, wow, huge difference, it is very smooth, no lag and LOVE IT!

as I'm new on this, I am enjoying every minute of it, not to mention, some apps that previously didn't show on the Market is now there (not all of it), but thank you again!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] closurez:
Reddit is fun works? That and the YouTube HD is the only thing I've had issues with.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Xplorer4x4:
What about playing back standard definition Xvid/AVI and x264/MP4 or MKV from the "SD card?" Will this play fine or not?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] philwaud:
Installed, had the wifi not turning on issue. Rebooted into CWM, factory reset etc., re install.

Still had no wifi. Re booted, worked fine, no issues installed.

Many thanks, will test enterprise wifi tomorrow.

Phil
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
work fine for me I use mx video player
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Xplorer4x4:
Ok thanks, to more questions before I decide on going to CM9:

I assume the later build does not include does not include TUN or CIFS? Any chance these will be integrated in the future?

Also, YoutubeHD does not work but what about SD YouTube?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
TUN and CIFS is included, if nothing else is stated, previous features are included in new builds. SD Youtube works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Xplorer4x4:
I assumed the first, but the problems is, they are all dated the same so it is not possible to determine which build is newer.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Yep. No problems whatsoever.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

There are three builds, TWO of which are dated on the 9th, ONE is dated on the 19th.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Xplorer4x4:
Wow really? I guess you have never simply misread anything before. :rolleyes: It wouldnt hurt to have the topic title updated..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dcaplinger76:
I can't get , my Gmail to send.... I receive just fine but it sticks at sending and never sends
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Allen3697:
I updated to the February 19th version today and my battery percentage is gone from the notification area. It showed the actual battery icon but no number anymore showing the percentage. The lock screen is also missing the volume toggle that took the place of the camera shortcut.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Nothing personal...

I just really wanted to use the "look of disapproval" image I just made. You just happened to be the first semi-appropriate victim. It worked. Yes, I do agree the title needs editing, though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lea9ue:
Yes, and it wouldn't hurt for you to read some of the pages to find your own answers to all the questions you have been asking.

I think its ridiculous that people are to lazy to read through the pages before asking the same questions over and over. I guess the OP could include a FAQ, some examples:

-Does HD YouTube work? No.

-So does SD YouTube work? Yes.

-Can you play HD movies off your SD card? Yes?

-Does Netflix work? Go play in traffic!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Same here, though I didn't even notice til I read your post.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
Is it me or is the rom super laggy? I installed nova launcher and just simple actions like moving icons around, navigating around the system produces extremely choppy effects. Is it just nova launcher?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] datacron:
I like how you targeted someone for ridicule just so you could use something you created and the following post is bashing the same person... you guys are real kind ;-)

I think "go f#&$ yourself" is better then "go play in traffic."
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
It's so lag guys!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
I was just having fun.:D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] datacron:
No fun allowed!!! I just felt like utilizing my lack of social skills... somehow that makes sense. 8-/ Nice logos, btw.

Anyways, I'm having some generalized lag as well... which I didn't have with the 09 build.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Morrison79:
I've noticed some of the same lag and choppy effect. When I "try" to open an app about 50% of the time i have to select the app 2 or 3 times before it actually opens. The ROM is getting a lot closer to being stable enough for daily use but it's just not quite there.

Back to CM7 for now...:(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] closurez:
Harm I'll flash again is there anything other than system/dalvik/cache/data I need to wipe?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
I don't ever wipe data. I wipe factory reset, system, dalvik, and cache.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] drk.hd:
You do know that "Factory Reset" wipes data, right? It wipes data and both caches.

Anyways, if there's anything (small) the devs can point me toward that needs tweaking, I'd be happy to help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
I was not aware. That's just how I learned. Good to know.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] denglili:
Yeah, it would be nice to have the battery percentage back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wootonius:
Thank you guys (developers, bug reporters, all contributors) for all you do!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] psg190:
Looks like http video (Netflix, Watch ESPN, etc.) just got fixed on the Touchpad.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
wow, they are the best devs
[Kindle Fire Android Development] psg190:
I beg to differ. Just sharing the news.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dcaplinger76:
Hopefully some of this can spill on over to the kindle
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bitemeoftn:
Since I have actually read all 200 and some odd pages of this thread lol. From what I've seen previously the lag is related to the HWA problem we're having. Which if you don't know by now is pretty well non existent, but they ARE working on it. HWA doesn't just affect HD youtube or netflix it also controls simple things like screen transitions. So long answer to your question, but there it is lol.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ryantrax:
I have experienced zero lag. I use Apex launcher though, far better launcher then Nova...IMO.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dcaplinger76:
I am not experiencing the lag in which you speak of
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Me neither
[Kindle Fire Android Development] closurez:
Hr,m well I did that on initial flash from cm7 guess I'll try again
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ttabbal:
My concern is that people would inundate the devs with questions and general *****ing about it. :D

I'll leave it to them to decide. Perhaps I could make a separate thread for support on it that they could ignore? I dunno.

FWIW, I have built the latest on the github, and am booting it now. I guess I'll see how it works. hmm... other than wifi and adb not seeming to work (full wipe) it looks good... Can't do much more with it though. Could be something local, but I just repo synced this morning and did a clobber than a build, no code changes. I'd offer a log, but with adb and wifi unavailable, I'm not sure how I could get one. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Alright, so I'm reinstalling this ROM, and in TWRP I get "E: Cannot load volumn /misc!"

Not sure if that's an issue or not...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sadalius:
None issue. /misc does not exist on the kf, thus the error. Should still do everything its supposed to.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Uejji:
Did the MAC address fix, did not help.

Deleted nvs_map.bin and pushed the stock wlan_loader, did not help.

Looks like OP might have fixed this though? Is there anyone on ICS who is having proper CPU scaling behavior?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Us3rName:
Yes, replacing just the wlan_loader fixed both the MAC address problem and cpu scaling behavior on my Kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Where'd you get the wlan_loader, I can't find it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20794074&postcount=26
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Sorry guys I got a bit sidetracked as things have gotten a little hectic tonight. I'll post it tomorrow

Edit: changed to tomorrow
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Ya, ICS is just so PRETTY.

FWIW, on my phone (Optimus V) there's a main dev for the IHO CM7 port (blarfiejandro) and then others customize and post their ROMS (JerryScript, BobZHome, mrg666, etc.). They all get along well and as long as everyone realizes this is still very much a WIP and, most importantly, the rest of the community doesn't demand miracles and burn out the builders and devs, we could get a lot of testers very quickly. I'm very happy to test CM9 builds as fast as they get put up and then I'll just (begrudgingly) restore to CM7. Once audio and graphics acceleration exist, I'll move to CM9 full-time and try to use it as a daily driver.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Uejji:
It's strange. I even wiped and reinstalled from scratch, pushing the stock wlan_loader before even the first boot, and the CPU is still stuck at full speed, with or without SetCPU.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Exact same issue here. I completely wiped my device, nothing else on it, and installed just ICS, tried replacing wlan_loader, didn't do anything.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
Same problem here, but mine also stays at max even when wifi is off.

On a side note: The battery lasts an extraordinary amount of time considering the speed which the CPU is locked at.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Quantas:
I can confirm that following these directions to the T worked for me. Old MAC is back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
You can try wpa_supplicant from stock. It will make your wifi signal disappear as ics has changed how it receives a signal but the CPU issue will go away. It might not scan correctly but if you saved your ssid settings on your device it should connect automatically
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Can anyone provide this file?

And as for the extraordinarily long battery life for the CPU speed 1t 1008, maybe it's just being reported wrong? Although I think it gets pretty hot so I don't think so...

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

Okay, I thought this was just a fluke the first time, but I've seen it some more...

Ocassionally, the tablet goes to sleep and when you try to turn it back on, you just a black screen. I have to hold down the power button for 15 seconds for it to shut down in order to fix it.

So far, list of issues I've seen:

CPU Stays at 1008 (wifi on or off)

Sound only ocassionally works

Video skips around and plays very quickly

Trying to open the camera application makes the OS crash

Acceleromator seems a bit wonky, screen stretches out and rotates the wrong way before fixing itself.

Screen occasionally goes black and requires a reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Uejji:
I should add that the stock wlan_loader does show the stock device mac address even though the cpu issue persists.

Edit: Also, I'm noticing that surfaceflinger is constantly in the 50-60% range for cpu utilization in top. I wonder if those with properly working CPU scaling are seeing this same thing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I should point out that right now my focus is slightly different than Jackpot's and our build's reflect that. We're kind of working on different things:

His build has a lot of the quirks worked out like wifi, etc. I'm trying to get the hwcomposer up and running for full hardware acceleration on the KFire. And I'll be working out the quirks as I go.

But I *do* think it's important that devs have a potential public site like github available to see the build and how it works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
That's the benefit of having multiple devs, things get done more quickly and better with collaboration :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
i took hash's advice and i'm trying to push my files but i'm really sucky with git and my files aren't pushing for some reason :/ i'm probably overlooking something really simple

***remember to verify your md5sum checksums***

you can adb push this file to your sdcard, then adb shell, cd to the sdcard, and type the command "md5sum 1229E.zip" and make the numbers generated match the numbers below!

anyways, here's my lastest zip http://www.mediafire.com/?8j5cqjj7h24cesz

c1252c971d67eb7fd431c7f53146cf6e 1229E.zip

***make a backup of your current setup***

the zip will format your /system and /cache automatically, but not your data. the zip you have may have some /data that is incompatible with the zip, but i wouldn't recommend a data wipe until you at least try to go without it. i'd try to wait at least five minutes if you're in a boot loop to be 100% sure a data wipe necessary, or you can look at a logcat and see if things are repeating over and over again.. that means you'll have to wipe your data by doing a factory reset in twrp. a factory reset in twrp only deletes the contents of your /data, it will NOT touch your sdcard so whatever you have on there will be fine. since this zip will wipe your /system, you'll have to reflash gapps, which can be done consecutively after installing the zip :-)

sound is borked, and video is still broken, just putting it out there, and the sdcard won't mount yet. looking at about ~6 hours and 40 minutes if you're 100% web browsing with the screen on its lowest setting
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Thanks JackpotClavin, I'll test it out on my lunch break. Does anyone have an idea why video and audio is messed up yet, or is that still something you guys are trying to work out?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
Love the new boot animation calvin great work just gets better and better it sucesfully loaded on my kindle going to take it for a spin now will report back soon.

Update working beatifully much better that the last build less crashing can see file manager is installed as default and it just all works sound is hit and miss but its getting there well done devs keep it up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] namurt:
man oh man, that's sexy!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
Also, is anyone else getting permission denied when they ADB REMOUNT on their computers? Android debugging mode is enabled for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
Devs here on the kindle-fire scene have done a lot on both CM7 and CM9 and are still doing a lot for us, for free. In case u dont know they are going to mess with their kindle-fire's main board soldering another board in order to boot the kernel 3.0 and watch its logs in order to bring hw acceleration into ur kindle-fire.

And all of this for free since they havent ever asked for a penny to anyone..

You better show some respect to all those people who are involving their spare time and their own hardware working to port a full android experience into our kindle fire for nothing in return.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Its because of the secure ramdisk. I've been splitting the boot.img, changing that, repacking/flashing it myself. I've been also searching and trying to learn how to add init.d (startup scripts) but I haven't had much time to learn it lately.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
I dont understand anything you said, haha. Could you simplify that?
