You mean like a virtual camera device? I'm not a developer either, but afaik in linux using v4l2 you can use your screen as a camera input. Is something like that possible in android?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
Hashcode is already working on it, we don't need another thread for that.

It might work with USE_CAMERA_STUB := true at compile time, but it's broken in CM9 for now. :/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scarsofthumper:
Would it have to be a specific version of Talk for ICS? Because back when I had a Thunderbolt, I remember the camera being messed up because of a lib and it was causing FCs in Talk, and I believe there was a flashable zip for a custom version of Talk for that. I could be mistaken though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I'd like to thank Bl1nkk for all your work, you just keep helping people even if the problems have been reported previous, I'm a proper noob but by following your threads I've now got a rooted KF with custom rom and I'm loving it.

and a big thanks to hashcode & Jackpot & all the other guys who are helping KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bowenac:
I second that... it's the weekend hopefully we see some progress for the audio... I love this rom so far.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Don't get your hopes up :-( I haven't made an ounce of progress. Everything has been a dead end
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bowenac:
HAHA I have faith... don't give up :).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] austinwsj:
Not a developer here either but if it works on CM7 kernel for the KF, couldn't that help to get it working on this build?

Or is it an incompatibility within 4.03 with the aforementioned drivers?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fleton:
I think the CM7 kernel is the one they are using now, could be mistaken though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ratchetandclankf:
Post removed because it is a copy of the above.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
They aren't working. Ics uses a different method with audio drivers and ours aren't working with it unlike other devices for some reason. I'm running out of options
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
Would this help with anything?

http://omappedia.com/wiki/Android_Debugging

I guess not though, given the differences in ICS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] stephenball1:
Would the media_profiles.xml from the ti repo for the blaze tablet help?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Nope, calling all devs for help :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] whistlestop:
Jackpot, what can you detail on the problem and what you've tried so far. Is it just the intermittent issue or is there something else?

I can at least make a pass through the CM7 changes I made to get it working and see if the CM9 build is equivalent.

Also do you know anything or have any pointers on how the video is supposed to work in CM9? Seems maybe Google added something new (ion device) that is needed from the kernel.

I have the dsp loaded now with the firmware under the old kernel like I did for CM7 but I can't seem to get the player to try and l load the right driver (keeps falling back to software rendering)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mattpannella:
ok so, i was running stock kindle fire w/ root but wanted to check this out just to see how it runs

i did a backup in twrp first

wiped system/cache/dalvik

flashed the rom and the gapps addon

adb pushed trebuchet in

things work good so far, but i have a few issues

the "dock" menu in trebuchet wont open. i click it but it never loads

but the real problem is, now that im booted into ICS adb doesn't see my kindle :\

so now i have no way of getting back to recovery to flash the stock rom back

..help?

edit: nevermind. i disabled usb debugging then reenabled it and now adb works again. strange

well, any idea about the trebuchet dock?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
/dev/ion is required for Video in CM9, which is only provided by the 3.0 kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yumcax:
When you installed TWRP it should have installed FIREFIREFIRE at the same time. If you see a exclamation mark at boot, press the power button to get into TWRP. You will see the power button led turn orange.

I don't know what you mean by the dock menu. edit: ah I see, that's because there is no dock on the ICS launcher in tablet mode.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
That's fine. Those settings don't exist yet.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mattpannella:
lol duh, I'm an idiot. Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jackofaiitrades:
If we have the drivers working with CM7, any way we can use those somehow, via a wrapper implementation?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mrnick81:
audio

I don't know if this helps, I booted the first from and audio played fine. I could not use TB but I could download from market. Downloaded AB and the audio played fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
As JackpotClavin said when he released his first zip. Sound works kind of, you can get sound every X minutes for some seconds. It doesn't fully work yet, though
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
Am I the only one that thinks we should try implementing the honeycomb unlocker into this? I personally prefer it and it will get rid of the camera option. Although I don't know how hard it will be..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eratosthene:
So it really sounds like we're gonna have to get at least a 3.0 kernel before things are going to work well in ICS. I'd like to work on this, but I'm not sure where to start. I've done all the steps in the other thread related to compiling my own ICS rom, had a few issues but finally got it working. If I wanted to start hacking on a newer kernel version, can somebody point me the right way?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samomamo:
Is this true? Ics audio working?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt70hIVg5bE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
I'd say it worked randomly for him.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samomamo:
Thanx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
Same boat, not sure where to start. I know we can pull the kernel from kernel.org, but I'm not sure how to make it work with the fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
Hi every body, I try to install JackpotClavin070112.zip today from CM7 and sound works great!!! and I can view storage setting without hot reboot!!!

I think you can use the driver from CM7 to port to this Room!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scarsofthumper:
Sound was intermittent with me and I was coming from CM7 too.

All I know is aside from the sound issues (didn't really test video) this rom is GREAT.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sorbo:
I'd like to support this project, and saw that you guys are in need of a decent bug tracker + maybe a wiki, and i'd like to support you with some space/bandwith and a domain name (of your choice).

Only problem is I currently have a hosting package which allows me to use 20GB's of bandwith each month. Does anyone have an estimate how much this project would use? This is for just a bugtracker + wiki, downloads (mediafire/multiupload) and discussion (here) aren't included in this. I think it wouldn't be any problem, but i've got absolutely no idea about the scale of this project ;)

Would that be of any help to you?

I've bought a Kindle Fire this week, first thing I did was kick out the stock software and install this ICS build :) It's a bit buggy, but it's workable. Only problem is Wordfeud keeps on crashing, but even that's no problem, since ICS is so much nicer than the default software :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jaimemex:
YES

Nice! Let's start working on video!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Icetech3:
I should have quoted dnd's post sorry...

"Hi every body, I try to install JackpotClavin070112.zip today from CM7 and sound works great!!!"

I use jackpotclavin070112... sound does not work except menu clicks... i dont know why he posted that it does..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
Please just take your so incredibly important time to read the first post. It holds a suprising amount of information, including a list of bugs. Read that, then post.

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dcaplinger76:
I believe he was talking about dnd61's post about using that and having sound work great..... but I guess you didn't read that
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mattpannella:
Anyone else have problems with wallpaper scrolling in trebuchet?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Icetech3:
Sorry, i didnt mean to confuse you and force you to waste your SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TIME by not quoting what i was responding to in my reply.. Also apologize for forcing you to go into 100% douchemode.. as someone that actually has read the thread pointed out above, i was referring to a post from someone that said the sound was working perfectly when it obivously isn't.. For now on please follow the thread as other people were able to.... or would that have wasted your incredibly important time also?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
Where can I find the goolge+ apk for this rom?

the link in the first post don't work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] johnsaldivar:
Just seen on youtube someone is selling info , on a build

[Kindle Fire Android Development] palmheel:
If I understand correctly is not ICS, is CM7 Themed like ICS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
You seem to have misunderstood me. And I am by no means trying to start a flame war.

And no, I'm not saying my time is incredibly important; then I wouldn't be on these forums. What I meant was that you seem to think your time is more important thant the rest of us', since you could not even bother to quote correctly. Sorry if I came off a bit rude.

Although I have to confess it was partly my mistake, sorry.

Thank you for fixing that though. Hope you're enjoying your KF :)

Unless I've been living under a rock for some unknown amount of time, for an unknown reason (I might have), there is no working apk yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a2296455:
Sorbo, thank you for your offer, but once this ROM gets just a little bit more stable, CyanogenMod will accept it as an official rom and we can use their GitHub, bugtracker and review for all these things. We just need more developers at this point.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
Wow, the last 2 posts are pretty much the only redeeming things to have been posted in the last 48 hours.

Edit - Up to and including this post.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] adbirdie:
So I've been tinkering with the lockscreen, because I want to get rid of the camera app shortcut, and replace it with a browser one, but I'm not sure what apk in the rom deals with that stuff, if anyone can do this, or has other advice on how to do it, id be glad to start working on it. If anyone wants to take up where I've left off, heres the icon I made to replace the camera one : http://imgur.com/95yjY
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
I'm not an expert nor a developer, but I think the lockscreen is part of the framework.

../system/framework/

..framework-res.apk & framework.jar

maybe!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chiggins:
That's what I'm starting to look at right now. I'm hardly a hardcore Android developer but I'm gonna try to get my feet wet with it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
My main concern is battery life and the web browser do they work well? If yes I am moving now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] big gulps huh?:
Can't fully comment on battery life by the browser works great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FroyoShark:
Could you put in ES File explorer instead? I find it much more intuitive, and you can enable root access in the settings.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcatt:
Browser is great, battery life will suffer because of the wakelock, and haveing the cpu stick around 1ghz contently...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] crpercodani:
EDIT: Fixed my problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
This is just fine, don't worry for now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] crpercodani:
Yea. I just got this today and found out my boot loop-type problem was from selecting reboot to recovery in the utility prog. Fixed it up now tho and running smooth. This is nice!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thelonewizard:
I am trying to flash this to test it out, and I seem to be stuck in a boot loop. I have the .zip on the kindle, and I flashed it, but I get the same message as bl1nkk. I then reboot, and it boots back into recovery. What do you suggest I try?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
You need to change the bootmode back to 4000. Use fastboot:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

should then say <waiting for device>

Reboot your tablet, bootmode will be updated and you should be good to go. In future, don't use "Reboot to Recovery"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cllinna:
browser has worked great for me as well, not sure about battery life yet.

Things I noticed so far that don't work:

(of course it is not an everyday rom to use yet and of course things are not going to work all the time, but i thought I would share what i have come across)

Youtube video playback

Google Talk (as I read before because of the no camera issue)

Touch screen sensitivity is hit or miss, mainly with app icons and menu buttons (except for with the keyboard, that works beautifully)

Email would not sync (wifi working fine)

Every once in awhile the launcher crashes

Flash Video Play back

No Sound

I cannot get USB mass storage to work with my computer, but i may just be doing something wrong.

Otherwise this rom is beautiful, smooth and i am excited to see it evolve!

Thanks again to those that donate their time to do all of this work!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Flashed this, because I couldn't resist. I am using Trebuchet as the launcher, but it's not rotating. It pushed fine, and I can pick either com.android.launcher or com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet, and neither allows rotation. Did I miss something?

Otherwise, looks totally friggin sweet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cllinna:
In com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet launcher hit the app drawer and in the upper right hand corner hit the settings button, it will be three squares. Go to general and check the auto rotate box. That's it :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thekitch:
Gapps install issue?

I flashed the gapps zip and now I just get to an emergency dial button, change language, or touch android to start. When I touch the droid to start it just says setup wizard failed. Any thoughts?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cllinna:
I had this same issue and just shut it down and reflashed both .zips with a full wipe, worked fine after that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Oh, durr. That little 3 dot thing INSIDE the app drawer needs an explanation. that's my defense, anyway...lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cllinna:
Well If you choose com.trebuchet launcher instead of the com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet launcher it gives a link to the market as apposed to the settings. I am not sure which launcher is better to use overall.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
I really want the auto-rotate, so I'll stick with Cyanogenmod. Is there graphics acceleration in this build? Seems kinda sluggish but I don't know if it's because it's fresh and needs to cache or if it's because everything is being done in software.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thekitch:
I will give that a shot. Does leave me with one question. What is safe to wipe from twrp? Any cache resets between zip installs or anything?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
well there's definitely something wrong with the cpu scaling when the wifi is on. when it's off, the cpu is totally normal. when it's on however, it's almost always at 1.008 ghz so those who pointed this out were right. was it not like this on cm7? i didn't ever look at the cpu
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cllinna:
Yeah i did a full wipe and cache between each install, not sure if it was needed but it seemed to work fine then
[Kindle Fire Android Development] adbirdie:
I've narrowed it down to this: https://gist.github.com/CyanogenMod...ore/res/res/drawable/ic_lockscreen_camera.xml

But thats as far as ive gotten.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Buffet_of_Lies:
... oh never mind...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
I can play .mp3 file from file manager too.

Any progress on the new kernal from Hashcode?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chiggins:
Was just messing around to learn, and I ended up putting a volume slider in the settings menu within the status menu. Works from what I can tell, especially since a good chunk of the code was already there, just no GUI elements were put in place! Screenshot in attachments.

If anyone wants the code, lemme know.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
Love it and would love the code!

CM7 Infuse - XDA Premium
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chiggins:
Since I can't just do a diff of the changes, here's the SystemUI folder.

http://chigs.me/SystemUI.tar.bz

Just place that in frameworks/base/packages/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yumcax:
Great job! Would it be hard to add a toggle to WiFi, and remove Airplane Mode and Notifications?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chiggins:
If you wanted to remove Airplane Mode and Notifications, you can edit the status_bar_settings_view.xml and at least get rid of the GUI elements. I'm not gonna do it myself, since I don't exactly want to be removing anything, ya know? Though I'll look into a Wifi toggle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rullingen:
Is this not pointless without sound support?

Is there any way to implement this in the CM7 port that does have sound?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
Hashcode started backporting drivers to 2.6.35.7. A lot of work I'd say.

We have some dev contact of HeWhoWas, working on the 3.0 kernel.

And again: If there are any updates I'll update the OP. You don't have to ask every few days. If I didn't edit the OP there are also no news.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Yeah sorry for the "non-updates". Long story short is I've been banging my head against the wall with the 3.0.8 kernel trying to get something to get to the init stages so that I can see what's happening. W/o any debug output, it's nearly impossible.

Then the other day HeWhoWas offered to let his tech co-workers take a look at the kernel and see if they couldn't get it to boot, so I committed my changes to the 4AI.4 TI 3.0.8 linux kernel and they're off and running (they work with some of this stuff for a living).

Starting from that point (which was like Friday last week (1/13) I started wondered if it would be possible to take the stock kernel (which obviously boots) and backport the following necessary ICS components:

- GPU/PVR components for 1.8.550175 for which we can grab the matching binaries from omapzoom (w/ IMG_OES support, etc).

- Tiler / DMM

- ION device

- RemoteProc

- RPMSG device for the Ducati codecs

- And anything else that the above required.

As you can see that's no small list of items.

Fast forward to today: right now I have the larger chunks of code merged, and I'm working through the last few compile errors, and then I'll see what sort of unresolved references I have at the end.

No real ETA on this, but you can be assured if something develops.. I'll post it here immediately.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
My colleague is pretty optimistic that we'll at least get it booting before the end of the week. This doesn't mean everything will work but once there's debug output the job becomes significantly easier. Relatively speaking.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
That's pretty awesome :) looking forward to what the future might hold for the KF
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Apparnetly the ICS build for the HP Touchpad is having the same video issue, or at least a similar issue. Maybe if they figure out how to make it work, someone could talk to them about how they managed to get it working.

EDIT: 100 posts :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
Do they have sound working? Might help us, if that's the case...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
I think so, what I read said "Everything works except video playback and the camera"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
Yes, let's NOT work on tasks in parallel, because we want the process to take LONGER.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chiggins:
Well, it CAN be done. I don't have the cm7 source to look at, but my bet is that some of the code can't be reused, and I don't really plan on trying to implement it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a2296455:
SWEET deal! I hope you guys are working with JackPot from the same codebase!

Do you guys have a Github?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
Just wondering,

When it said that video don't work, Does it refer to youtube, video streaming (nextflix) or it refer to any video? (avi, etc ...)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Didn't specify, it was actually in the podcast Tech News Today, so they didn't go over everything in 100% detail. Found the article, and they don't specify what type of video either.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dilpickle1:
Will the devs post when they have audio or video working or wait until both work?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] MaxRabbit:
Actually there are several people working on finding a breakthrough right now. You know how these things go, one little breakthrough could change everything overnight. That's why there are no ETA's, because anything can happen anytime.
