Is VPN working on this rom? I have tried connect to StrongVPN via L2TP and it didn't work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scorpeeon:
If i install this, is there a way to go back to stock official Fire ROM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rootedm1001:
yes you need to make a backup of you stock rom
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scorpeeon:
You mean a nandroid backup from cwm? I rooted it with burrito root and it installed some custom recovery so i think i might have cwm.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
Yes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bennettg:

1.opera mobile versions 12.0 and 11.5.4 dont work. the app begins to load and then gets stuck with a white screen that says "opera mobile". opera mini and opera next work fine. anyone else? fix?

2. i can dwnload google chrome beta but when i start it it says the app is not compatible and requires android 4.0.3 or higher. anyone else? fix?

thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
2. Chrome won't work until we have working Hardware Acceleration

Has anyone been able to open a subscription based magazine? I tried to help a friend to test a magazine called gospel today and once a magazines is downloaded, it just crash the app.. Any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zonbal33:
OK that worked thx. Is there a there a problem with the stock video player? For ex when I try to open a vid from ESPN I just get a blank video with sound.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Status Flow:
Just flashed this rom. I've only had my Kindle for a few hours but I love it way more than the stock stuff it came with! My first taste of Tablet-ICS and it's niceeeee.

Great work, will keep watching for updates.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] daweedk1991:
Does anyone know if the big margin issue with the Kindle for Android still exist?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
Nothing to see here... :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jake33108:
If you read that thread the first sentence says "Patched version to work on all ICS roms that are using full HWA", which is why it won't work. That's what BluesHawk is saying. That Chrome apk will start but it only shows a white screen and won't render pages until we get HWA.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
Yeah that's my bad, I forgot which thread I was in. I had the kf and the epic ics threads open
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zonbal33:
are random reboots a current issue with ics? my kindle reboots when using certain apps, playing certain games and just using the kindle in general. seems like it does it the most when i have a lot of things opened.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thomas1218:
Amazon updated it a day or 2 ago and gave it tighter margins for tablets but they still dont have options to change them. It is 100% useable now though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] NRGZ28:
Yes they are. Most likely a kernel issue though, when not using the stock kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nawktonson:
Yep. I have to hard reset my kindle once in a while because it becomes totally unresponsive. It seems to happen randomly but also seems to happen a lot when I use apps that have 3d effects in their UIs (Music app's "recent albums" carousel view thing, YouTube app home page, Google Maps building view)

It sure beats using Gingerbread though. GoogleApps for Gingerbread have such ugly UIs in comparison to their ICS versions, I get frustrated whenever I use GB now. I don't know how I managed to live with it for nearly a year on my Nexus S. ICS <3
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Could this be a gateway to the kindle fire getting official CyanogenMod support?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a2296455:
CM is finally reaching out to developers –– is there any way we can get ICS to be officially supported by CM for the Fire?

All we have to do is get in touch with this guy:

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/developer-relations
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
We have modified the cm source to fix some bugs/add features, we will have to do these changes right such that it works fine for all devices and then get it through the cm review process (everyone can hand in changes there).

If we have done that we can try to get in "official" cm (should not be very difficult), but from my point at the moment this is no use for us.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mattpannella:
so I installed the 2/24 build but no apps seem to load a different UI. tried docs,imdb, and spring pad

they all load the same phone UI that I got on the other builds. any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a2296455:
Well as long as our code would be with Cyanogenmod and our bug tracker with them too I'm down, it'd be good to be apart of an official team and get the benefit of the CM name / quality release.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jessical:
Set your DPI to 120.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aaron1006:
Am I the only one getting RIDICULOUSLY long battery life? I just switched to ICS about a week ago from CM7 Barebones. On stock/CM7 the battery would die quite quickly and I had to charge it about every day or every other day even if I hardly used it. With ICS I just checked the stats and I was still at 54% after 3 days and 2 hours with moderate use (including some Pokemon Crystal on GBCoid for at least 2 hours). This is great!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
Nothing to wait, BACK TO THE PAST.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Joshlovesandroid:
I just rooted today and flashed this

Its amazing. Thank you so much
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
I think we need to do something like this this to fix the gap in the status bar and time running into date with it expanded
[Kindle Fire Android Development] datacron:
Exact opposite experience on mine, my battery life on ICS is pretty horrid compared to stock... I'm envious of you ;-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wyhteagle:
just throwing it out there .. well because the thread is quiet. Anyone else notice that in the latest build touch points need to be very precision otherwise it's registered as a drag? I remember this issue in early builds but devs fixed it. Well I think the issue is back as I'm having some issues with opening apps because of it being a drag instead of a touch. Just annoying but still an awesome rom!

Thoughts?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mdifilm:
I don't have that problem here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vbdss:
Sorry if it has been asked, but why do all ROMs to Kindle Fire have H/W Accelerated Graphics broken?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] csholmq:
Only CM9 ROMS. Because their HW accel rely on the 3.0 kernel, which is yet to be ported to the KF. The current one from Amazon is 2.6.35
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vbdss:
Oh thank you. I am a newbie with all things related to kindle fire, just got mine. Anyone working or plan to work on the Kernel 3.0 ?

Btw, Amazon seens to be very supportive with Kindle Fire, maybe they will make and ICS based Kindle OS right?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Yuma75:
I'm not trying to be rude...but even a cursory browse, let alone search through the forums would show you progress on kernal, HDMI, USB issues...the works. This thread is a development thread and is bloated with all sorts of useless posts like yours that have been answered NUMEROUS times in other threads in the proper forums.

Respectfully,

Yuma
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wyhteagle:
Awe go easy on the kid a simple....

would work better :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i do agree that it is tiresome to keep seeing the same issues raised again and again, but this thread is a development/discussion thread. and people can't be expected to read hundreds of pages.

i,ve followed this thread from the start and sometimes when the thread is busy with development posts then it does irritate a little. but its hardly buzzing at the minute. so please leave off the aggression on noobs (we all started somewhere).

so please be nice. :-)

thanks steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] YoungChrisG:
Actually, and not to be rude but, they can be expected to. And eve if thy don't read the whole thing, its quite easy to use the advanced search tools, narrow the results to the Fire Development section and type in a couple of key words. I do it all the tie which is why I don't have many posts lol. I've been a member since like 2010 lol. :rolleyes:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jaimemex:
So...this rom is dead? (No one is working on this anymore)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dls5375:
Not dead, just patiently waiting for ics kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
why don't we plus the SOS to CM9 official?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
cm9 official requires a maintainer, which is these developers you see working on it. just be patient people.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Some of us not so patiently waiting. Lol. I don't even really need HWA. I use this as my daily with hardly any issues. I only use one homscreen so transitions speeds and smoothness are irrelevant. Runs fast , pretty damn stable, and ad hoc works. Even as of right now using 2.6 kernel, it's still by far my favorite ROM. Again, big thanks to everyone working on it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ry_an:
Agreed, I've been running the latest available ICS since that x-mas after week I believe, and it's been great. Even when video was not working, once I had used ICS on the KF, the stock Rom was no longer an option. My eternal thanks go out to the developers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] theTwiz:
+1, keep up the good work everyone

also, slow thread != no development
[Kindle Fire Android Development] t0adman:
I have faith in the developer community, for whom I'm exceedingly grateful. My KF is now the device it should have been when I got it thanks to your efforts with ICS. I'm confident we'll see HWA soon and I'll have my cake and smash it in my piehole too! Thanks devs - you rock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdommer:
I'm feeling a little sorry for the people following this thread. I look at it myself a couple times a day hoping to see that some breakthrough has happened.

So, I just thought I'd post a little "what I've had going on". I don't consider myself a dev, I can barely compile a working ROM. But I have been messing with the wireless trying to figure out why UPnP doesn't work. I have in the last couple weeks, compiled 50-100 wpa supplicants trying to figure out where the problem is.

None of them work better than the one in 2/24. Most of them work a whole lot less better.

I don't talk to any of the real devs out of band, so it's all guesswork, but hashcode is probably working on the kernel 3.0, nind had a thing going for cornerstone last I looked and JC was trying to get ICS working on the droid pro.

If no one is posting, that doesn't mean the project has been abandoned, it just means no one is having any notable success.

Believe me, everyone would love to see something new!

But since there seems to be so much nothing going on lately, I just thought I'd post something development related even if it is the absence of progress.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] seishuku:
Really, right now I don't really care about HWA either, since my personal apps use opengl anyway.

What I would really like to see working is USB OTG, that's something I could really use.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aaron1006:
Is there any way to turn the lock screen completely off?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jake33108:
Setting>Security>Screen Lock

Select "None".
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ontwowheels:
I think what we have to remember is, the developers don't strictly work on getting a 3.0 kernel going on a Kindle Fire. I think they support and develop on lots of other platforms including phones. HWA may not even close for the Fire.....life goes on....lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] freestylejunki32:
has anybody had any luck getting location services to work?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
I have not, if you figure it out please post it in here.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] simonbove:
Thanks a lot for a great ROM... Simply love it, and i don't care about the HWA, dont watch videos... So this is my daily ROM on my lovely little Kindle Fire...

Again, thanks for the great work you guys are doing..

Have no problems so far :)

And the Antutu score is 4600, perfect :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] southbird:
I know it's a sensitive issue around here to bother devs that work for free. But they ought to realize they are "celebrities" and we just gotta know what's going on, even if it's essentially nothing.

I think it would salve the cravings of those eagerly awaiting a 3.x kernel for all the promised glory but without the technical ability to help it happen to have a feed -- even if it's almost nothing. Why not have a Kindle Fire Linux 3.x development thread? There was one for the UART and it was mostly just those involved rambling about little goals. At this point even if the thread was just a pastebin of the Linux 3.x kernel emitting a startup message over UART and stalling after that would at least let us look and say "Yeah, that's where it's at."

Help with reboot

Please need big help. Kindle was working fine with cm9, after last reboot recovery is stay on TWRP. Every next restart go to TWRP. Can not go to normal Rom.

I started a new thread to give out information on what's happening w/ the new ICS kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1545172
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
It has been posted many times that you should not use the reboot recovery option if you are on twrp. Twrp does not reset the reboot to go to normal fastboot mode. Switch to Clockwork it is better anyways... or don't use the reboot recovery... or use adb commands to change the reboot option. Glad you got it fixed, but just an fyi for the future.

UPnP

Mwa ha ha! Progress!

Not ready for prime time, as I had to gut a bunch of commands from the WPA supplicant and I'm not sure of side effects. But it is definitely a result!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] theTwiz:
i dont care if it isn't ready for prime time, you just made my day. PM me if you want help testing. also, I take it this is on the rom/kernal from this thread?

a good man guys :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdommer:
I believe I got the bugs out on my wireless changes. Download here.

This is nind's 2/24 rom with only a new wireless supplicant.

Changes:

*Slightly newer wpa_supplicant (not sure of exact issues addressed).

*Reapplied IBSS/Ad hoc patch

*Fixed UPnP/multicast issue

*(Possibly)Fixed hang at "Obtaining IP address" when enable wireless

If you don't care about any of the above, can probably skip this.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] theTwiz:
awesome, sorry i didn't get a chance to test before, but that's only because you got this out so fast! downloading this now, will report back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdommer:
No worries. I should probably have sat on it over the weekend while testing, but I've never been good at delaying gratification. I'm reasonably confident the changes make sense and doesn't this thread still list the ROM as alpha? Everyone can be my lab rats! Myself included.

booyah

this is between my KF running your rom, and my G2 running CM7 7.1.0, via wifi-tethering (at work, can't use corp wifi to test as they have it locked down pretty nicely). i'll do another test from home to make sure i can see my 'real' server and renderer.

edit: confirmed working on my home wifi. the WDTV Live is also a wireless device, although that probably doesn't matter. added picture.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
I just flashed this as an update without wiping(didn't want to have to restore everything etc.) and it works like a charm. Well done, Jeffy. Thank you, sir.

EDIT: Twonky won't work but I think that's because I'm running Connectify and using my pc as an ad hoc wifi hotspot. I need a router...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samson291:
Just flashed this and my wireless seems to be connecting all the time now many thanks :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Also, I used to have problems with my wifi turning off when my screen went to sleep even though I had it set to "never". Now, it does as it should, and stays on. Very nice.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
No HWA decoding = no flash / Netflix etc. Its a common issue with ALL ICS ROMs.

Qualcomm released binaries that can be used to help with say the G2 vision device gain a proper ICS port and official CM9 support. The binary has a hand in hardware acceleration drivers.

Any chance that this will help solve the KFire HWA issue?

Sorry with my mistakes about this.

I was google about graphic chipset on Kindle fire:

PowerVR SGX540

All webs write about is the same graphic as Galaxy S, if there are some ICS ROMS on Galaxy S that can be use FLASH and Chrome, I think HWA is on at this device, is this correct?

Then, can those drivers help on ICS development HWA?

make sure youve moved kindle utility into where sdk with fastboot, adb etc. open command prompt from within sdk directory and type fastboot devices. enter. you should see your kindles serial number

I think this is quite an improvement for wifi, thanks. I flashed this over the previous version without wiping anything but dalvik/cache. This screen shot is battery life with fairly light use. Wifi stays on all the time but it does connect and disconnect randomly while screen is off. If I am streaming music it stays connected always though. I assure you I didn't plug it in once over the five days but it shows some spike ups, might just be a glitch from having the screen off for long periods? Either way not one SOD for over five days...gotta love it!

Bug Report Omega 5.2 ICS

Hi Indie

Bug report Im afraid!

On Omega 5.2 ICS, you cannot change the LCD density without the phone locking up when you reboot. Ive tried manually changing it or using one of the third party apps from play shop. This bug also existed in 5.1, cant comment any further back than that.

I usually remove a load of unwanted apps and bloatware before I install, but this time I thought I would use your new scripts.

First problem is that gscriptlite cant find the .sh file. I manually copied the text from the old one to a new file.

This worked and removed the files that i wanted.

Next issue is that SuperSU doesnt work. Obviously there is some way to grant SU, but when I open SuperSU it wouldnt run - said it wasnt installed.

After running the remove script and rebooting, SuperSu said it needed to update the binaries. It did this fine and it then works.

These are probably minor issues, but I thought you would want to know1

[Kindle Fire Android Development] a2296455:
Did you commit these changes to the code repository?

I'm trying to find the Kindle Fire on CM's website but I can't...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] isaiahhhhh:
The Kindle Fire hasn't been officially added to the list of devices that CM supports, it still needs a bit more tweaking and I believe one or two other requirements need to be met before it gets officially named a CM supported device.
