Haha I'm learning as I go but I'll try to explain.

There is a file that gets replaced each time you start the device (/default.prop). It comes from the ramdisk which is located in the boot.img. The file has a line on it, something like ro.secure=1. I use a script called split_bootimage to extract the ramdisk then change it to =0. Then I use this tool called mkbootimg to repack the kernel and ramdisk back into a boot.img and things like adb remount work :-)

I just wanted to stop by and see how things are going. The new cm9 boot animation looks so sexy. I have been using Zones tweaked rom as a daily but was thinking of coming to this. I can't wait for an alpha build!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Looks like somthing overwrites the default.prop when i'm building, it actually should look like this one. I'll have a closer look at the Makefile.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] isaiahhhhh:
Build.Prop

Does anyone have any information on a modified build.prop that allows for games to be played on CM9 (games like oregon trail or other gameloft titles that show up as unupported on CM9). I know on CM7 it's possible to change the build prop and i've tried using the modified CM7 build.prop on the latest CM9 but I just hang up on the loading animation. I'm going to try and reinstall the latest gapps for now. I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

Thanks in advance!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] UberDuper:
What do you mean by "show up as unsupported?" ICS doesn't use build.prop to determine device compatibility for apps anymore. If they show up in the market, then as far as your kindle and the market are concerned, it's compatible.

Last I tried NFL Pro 2012, the game itself had some system check at startup and would claim it's not compatible. I spent some time trying to figure out wth it was looking for but got bored with it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] isaiahhhhh:
Well when i try to use certain games I receive the notification that my device is not compatible and that I should request a refund. If not the build.prop then what else is causing this issue, is it app specific?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
Usually editing the build.prop to make the kindle-fire to be seen as a SGS2 should work with some gameloft games such as Nova2 and Asphalt 6.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Its not exactly like that. However the Market itself no longer looks at the build.prop for device compatibility, some apps/games still do, and even though those will show up on the market, when you open them up they will likely say that your device isnt compatible and to request a refund, regardless if those apps are showing on the market. Thats because they still look for device compatibility on the build.prop. In fact making it to be seen as a SGS2 will do the trick for some apps/games.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] isaiahhhhh:
How might one go about editing the build.prop for the latest ICS build so that the market recognizes the KF as an SGS2 device?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
Ah that makes a little more sense, but that's a lot of work to do. Is this going to be fix in the future versions? Also my USB mass storage isn't working, any ideas? I've read in the earlier pages (page 30's) that it wasn't working but I thought it would be fixed by now?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] glsteve:
Well what I usually do is have a back up of cm7 then i back up cm9 then restore cm7 install what apps I can't on cm9 then use tb to back up those apps then restore the cm9 that I backed up and use tb to restore those apps so fare its worked great.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
o ok. I also noticed there is a gap between the time and wifi icons causing overlapping between the menu button and whatever notifications you have. The time in the quick settings is shifted over overlapping the date. It kinda looks like they are adding am and pm next to the time but its not displaying for me.

One more thing. Are you familiar with the built in backup tool? It auto backs up and restores gapps if your just updating and will also backup/restore anything listed in /system/etc/custom_backup_list.txt. For some reason, it didn't backup/restore my custom list (was working perfect previously) and there seems to be a sbin folder in several places throughout /system.

also really appreciate you taking the time to compile these up for us when you have the time

Did anyone notice that when you call someone on skype it gives you a "call failed" error everytime the user called picks up?

Now I am pretty sure its a hardware related error since the kindle-fire doesn't have a built-in microphone, however the odd thing is that I get the same exact error even when headphone + microphone are plugged in.

I did some research but nothing of useful came up. Any idea of how can we force skype to look up for an external microphone and make it use it?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Did it ever?

I mean yeah we have NetFlix and Youtube HD on Stock, but pretty much everything else (non mp4 files) are simply not accelerated, as if we own a phone from 3 years ago...

What's good is in a tablet if it cannot play movies/trailers/videos properly? Especially one with such a hardware (OMAP 4430 is no slouch).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raiderep:
just for grins I tried the UOT online kitchen because it has updated to support battery mods for ICS and it worked on my ns4g. I used it with success for my kindle on the lasest cm9 and got a battery mod and a boot animation as well. I wouldn't use it for anything else than what I have mentioned unless you are adventurous. One more note, the kitchen spits out an unflashable zip(tried on TWRP might work on CWMR ymmv) so I swapped the files into a zip I found that was for a mod and it flashed fine.

Ive had this problem for a while now but everytime i flash the rom i can never restore my apps from titanium backup pro.... it does all the steps including waiting till the bar finishes and it says completed but when i go to my app drawer it doesnt show up any of them only way i can get them back is if i redownload them from android market any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
.swf is a flash extension, mean you need flash player in order to open it, and right now flash player won't work on CM9 due the lack of hardware acceleration. Devs are currently working on it.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
Sometimes a simple reboot works to make them show up, if not then I am not sure. I do know that restoring your app data can cause issues.

A work around is instead of using titanium to restore try a free app called appbak. It basically makes a text file of all your apps then you just go through and reinstall from the market by touching each one. It is not the fastest, but it will remember all your apps and take you directly to them in the market so you don't have to search.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] darx:
Does anyone have some insight to the deep sleep issues? When my kindle sits overnight it is almost always dead by morning. Not really ideal for the life of the battery.

Do the new roms fix this problem? I'm on 1/29 still.

I've tried out the standing on shoulders of giants cm7 rom but it doesn't really seem that much quicker, so I prefer to stay with cm9.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gadgetman13:
WOW, you're running an old ROM. Didn't see the SOD with 02-09. Did have some problems with 02-19, but had flashed back to CM7 and MIUI in between and then restored as opposed to wiping and re-flashing so there may have been remnants left over after all of that. Haven't experienced a SOD issue with the 02-19 since System/Cache/Dalvik Cache wipes and re-flash.

Why aren't you living on the edge like the rest of us? :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Here is a new build:

cm9-02-24.zip

ff4e0ea9c27d28b18226e230e2bf2994

Changelog:

+init.d support

+fix default.prop

+Test: Apps use now xlarge layout instead of large

Remarks:

* I'm not sure if init.d is working as it should, to my impression it's executing too early. I've tried to set it such that it executes init.d when the sdcard is ready but convinced that that worked. Could someone test it properly for me?

* I'm breaking with Google's guideline for display sizes here, if you look at that graphic

you'll note that the Fire is on the edge between the large and xlarge layout for apps. However from the code you see that it is using large layout for apps as it has less then 720 Pixel on the short side. In this build it force apps to go with xlarge layouts, i did that to test if apps looks better and use tablet features. Comments on this are welcome, in particular if there are apps which work significant better with this release. However with next build i think i'll go back to the stock large layout.

This build does not include the new boot animation, as that one is not in the cm sources yet. if you really want it, someone used the image from the youtube video to get the boot animation, follow the instructions on this thread. For the battery percentage display: that are changes from cm, i think they'll make a setting for this soon.

I was working on otg (usb host mode) support, the kernel loads it now, but it fails at loading USB 2.0/1.1 drivers (working on this, it's not included in this build).

No kidding, but do you think these devs don't know it? You think they say to themselves, "Hmmm... what to tackle next? HW accel? Nah, we don't need that."

I think what would shutting most people up regarding hardware acceleration is if the developers actually discussed it instead of saying a damn goat died, or a kitten, or a puppy.

Right now there is so much debate on Windows 8's Start Screen and if you EVER checked the Building Windows 8 blog, their blog entries seriously are life stories...so much is explained that it gives little reason to nag about.

If we had any kind of information regarding hardware acceleration, I think a lot of us would shutup including me. BUT because the developers refuse to release an update, we're stuck in the dark with people saying we killed kittens. Seriously grow up, I don't need to shutup and a door slammed in my face.

Release an update regarding hardware acceleration, I have some very big doubts that anybody is working on it...maybe once-a-month effort is put into it, not even. I'd like to know that work is being done on it, then MAYBE I wouldn't be so damn doubtful and MAYBE people would stfu already about it.

I'm sorry and I love the development of ICS for the Kindle Fire, but it has a long way to go. Nothing is quite fluid and from what I hear, hardware video decoding is apparently the same thing as hardware acceleration, and apparently none of that works. I want some fluidity on my Kindle Fire running ICS. I could care less for HD video playback, all of my stuff plays fine in standard definition via MX Player.

I kept wondering why my device kept turning wifi off when asleep even tho I had it set to always on. well I chose never finally and it stays on now :-) so I dunno if just a typo in the settings or just mis-ordered but I just thought I would put it out there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
In my experience its always ran before the sdcard mounts. Tossed a script in system/etc/init.d and it ran on boot. Did you enable this in the kernel or the ROM itself (is it possible to enable via ROM?)

Any idea why my custom_backup_list.txt is being backed up/restored but nothing on the list itself? I think I saw the backuptool.sh is still included in the ROM but I haven't compared it to the one from when it was working, yet. I've been waiting for the init.d support but with my new issue, my methods of doing a custom upgrade are borked once again :(

[Kindle Fire Android Development] csholmq:
It sounds like you need a little insight. Let's see if I can bring you some.

ICS (or Android 4.0.3) is based on the Linux 3.0.x kernel. This kernel (opposed to the previous 2.6.x) has a few new bells and whistles which makes some parts of ICS (HW acceleration for example) dependent on the 3.0.x kernel.

The KF is OMAP based (Texas Instrument platform) and has yet to receive the 3.0.x kernel from Amazon. Without the 3.0.x kernel, we have to back-port (i.e reconstruct the new bells and whistles) to the 2.6.x kernel. This is very tedious and time-consuming.

Today, there are basically two paths on this;

Back-port everything necessary to the 2.6.x kernel. This is what Hashcode set up to do initially.

Get the 3.0.x kernel booting. TI has a working 3.0.x kernel on their OMAP devices named Blaze. The KF has the Otter board in it. Thus, to get it booting we have to customize the config to match the Otter board and be able to debug why our current one isn't.

Right now, most of the work is poured into getting the new 3.0.x working. Unfortunately, the USB interface is initialized quite late in the kernel boot, which makes it really difficult to debug (we're basically blind). That's why I started a thread in finding the UART pins on the KF, to be able to debug properly.

I hope this gave you some well needed information. And hopefully I didn't just encourage you to keep whining.

Ps. I bet pressing the Donate-button will speed things up a little :)
