[Kindle Fire Android Development] Misune:
Did a little house cleaning on the bug spreadsheet. There was a lot of useless info. Also fixed the top bar. Didn't look to bad. Please if yours was on there but got deleted don't re add it. All game crashes are with hardware acceleration. Most of them thought where fixed like a month ago.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dro1dfan:
flashed the latest rom and can get usb mounting the sdcard. however im having trouble getting it to be recognised in adb via usb.

can get adb running via wifi working fine though.

any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ammubarak:
Just update your windows system driver o the adb working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] icemank121:
What fixed ADB for me was while the device is plugged in, uninstall the ADB device in Windows Device Manager then unplug and replug in the device. I did this after running the driver installer bat included with KFU.

So did you eventually manage to patch wpa_supplicant to connect to ad-hocs? I been giving a look at it last week but with no lack. My compiling/programming skills are less than nothing.

@HashCode was kindly helping out patching it and in fact I have a early alpha which sees the ad-hoc network but for some reason doesn't associate with it.

Does it associate to ad-hoc networks? Do you mind to share it ? :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ArmanUV:
:(

What about MX video? can it decode 720p with software?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
Yes, but lag so much.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
I actual have 2 sets of earphones w/ mic and I know both work because I use them on my transformer and phone. I can confirm that build 1-20 has working mic functionality but every other build after that does not work. Just wanted to give my 2 cents on the situation.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdommer:
I got connected. To switch to adhoc seems to require shutting wifi off, then turning it on again. I don't use it enough to have tested much, but I checked my mail and pulled up a few web pages using barnacle on my phone.

I gave the code to nind who is nice enough to compile a rom with it. If it's not up and you can't wait, PM me an email address and I'll send you my binary.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
If you're not planning on using advanced functionality, then you would be fine leaving it stock.

"I don't think I can tolerate 2.3" is irrelevant in this space, because it's not an even remotely stock device. Out of the box, it's a 100% curated experience. It just happens to be running on the Android 2.3 platform.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
OK, thanks for saying so. That made me curious so I stuck my thumbtack mic into the jack again (I last tried with 1/20 ROM as well) and I have the same results.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
I'm going back to see if I can pull sum files from the 1-20 and modify them with the current build. Let you guys know how it goes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Could you check if you have the same issue with http://www.mediafire.com/?q7rq5javb0xyqmh ? Can't test it here but that build uses some different audio settings which might also be used in 1-20.

Here is a new compile with the ad hoc fix from jdommer:

http://www.mediafire.com/?zyd7zkl7t1d81w7

5824667b8b5115faa35f85b93212aa30 cm9-02-16.zip

Edit: In this build the brightness can not be changed, i'll upload a new build later

It's with Hashcodes kernel, the only change from cm9-02-09 is a repo sync (nothing spectacular there i think) and a ad hoc fix from jdommer (thanks also to Segnale007 & others). I did not have the time to work on the remaining issues in the past days, but I'll perhaps have some time this weekend. So you may consider skip that build if you are not interested testing ad hoc wifi. I have talked with Segnale007, he has the problem that for him DHCP on ad hoc does not work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] litotamez:
Hi all... is normal have frequently screen of death? Its because i was using this version, but this error was appearing like 5 times per day in my experience with this rom...now im in stock
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aoaleman:
The times I use my Kindle with the 02-09 compiled version it's usually for now more than 30 minutes. But like others, when my Kindle sleeps for hours the SOD does occur. Holding down the power key/reboot fixes that as usual.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jessical:
You can't adjust the brightness in this one?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdommer:
I had problems with it hanging at Obtaining IP address in adhoc, once or twice.

Again, I don't use adhoc as my phone does infrastructure AP mode. Had to download barnacle just to be able to test.

But it seemed flipping wifi off and back on has caused it to advance past that and I haven't been able to force it to get stuck at that state now that I'm looking for it.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
is brightness not functioning? or is it that it does not appear when you pull up the settings menu? If it does not appear, it might be because that menu has to scroll.

Tho you might be right about this build, I think there was a recent build by someone where the brightness didn't function, so it can happen, and it can be fixed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
AND it's not just 2.3. It's 2.3.7 and believe me, that extra ".7" at the end makes a difference. Even CM7 doe NOT feel like stock Gingerbread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
USB mount works fine,

Adb works fine.

No sods at all.

Brightness in settings and works perfect.

Haven't tried voice apps with mix yet.

I'm on cm9 hash kernel
[Kindle Fire Android Development] playmobot:
Im very confused with the google docs bug tracking. Can anyone tell me what dose and dosent work in CM9_hashcode and CM9_stock?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] litotamez:
Thanks man
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aoaleman:
No problem. :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Only the kernel, stock uses CM9_stock kernel and CM9_hashcode uses hashcodes kernel, there shouldn't be big differences for now. I compiled both versions as I wanted to see if there are major advantages/problems between them. I think future versions will only be with hashcodes kernel, but upon request I can compile with stock kernel if it needed (pm me for that if there is a need for stock kernel, i might miss the post here).

The bugtracking is currently not up to date.

BTW: nothing against intersectRaven kernel, it's really great too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
The only real difference (for now) with the "Hashcode" kernel vs others is that I included some ip6netfilter, cifs/tun modules and compiled the backported 3.0.8 data usage statistics modules against my kernel source. no guarantees that data usage stats works with other kernels. (tho it might).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jessical:
It appears, just doesn't work...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] namurt:
for those of you (like me) who have been dying to get back to using swype, an official ICS compatible beta has finally dropped. yay!

http://beta.swype.com/

EDIT: oh geez, so i downloaded the installer after making this post and i'm still getting the unsupported screen size error. :/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Felnarion:
What if you change the DPI to a common phone size like 240?

What build are you using? as bightness works great for me.

Oh yes, sry i messed it up and took the wrong git branch in cm9-02-16, i'll upload a new build later
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Evo_J:
Can anyone tell me currently what bugs they are and separate them into major and minor categories. I looked at the google spreadsheet and it was a bit confusing since it says Feb 9 is the latest update, and on the spreadsheet it says there are severe bugs in the 2/1 build. I'm going to put it onto a personal friends kindle fire and i don't want any complaints. Can someone respond ASAP, i'm rooting his device tomorrow.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jessical:
This ROM isn't for daily use yet. Bugs vary from device to device. I'd advise you to do your friend a favor and NOT flash until the hardware acceleration and video is fixed as there's still a large amount of applications that have issues on the current builds.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tadaha:
1. This is a discussion thread, all the information you need regarding the latest build were probably discussed in the past 20 pages or so.

2. read the OP, this ROM is not for daily use. Either way you're gonna get complaints from your friend.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Apologies for posting in this thread but, if your looking for a daily driver, use MoDaCo's GR6 build. Is a solid daily. Haven't had a single issue in any way with it, and I flashed it immediately after he released it.

As for ICS, I've been following this thread since daily 1 and I'm really excited about the progress. Glad I chose the Fire over other tablet/reader options.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
No, this ROM is never for daily use.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] That Baker Guy:
Eh, I use it for daily use but I like to live on the edge ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] un4givn85:
ive been using it since mid-december and flash every update as they come

works fine for me, if i need netfilx i use my phone or tv :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lea9ue:
Modaco's is in no way even close to being in the same lea9ue as ICS. Sure everything works, but you mine as well stay with a rooted stock version if you are going to go that route.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnathan13:
it has been my daily for the last week and it is running fine. Minor bugs (video, one random reboot, sometimes it takes 20-30 secs to respond to me waking it, but not often). After I got cm9 on my epic I had to update my wife's phone and kindle it is just that good on all our devices
[Kindle Fire Android Development] luitron:
I also been using it as my daily and works just fine. I have other ways to watch video's but I'm we to do everything else that I really want especially viewing my internet camera at home from work. Love it!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
That's true, but that wasn't his question. He was asking about stability and a daily driver.

Also, it sticks to stock but you have access to Android Market..main reason why I rooted personally.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lea9ue:
Ok, anyone rooted with the stock ROM can install the android market without having to flash another rom. So other then a few tweeks, there is no difference between his and stock, and we should all be able to agree that the stock ROM is a POS. ICS in its current state is still better then anything that is remotely close to it. The only reason the OP states its not for daily use is so people stay off the devs back about bugs. I'm just saying, it looks to me like you're trying to divert traffic.;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Not trying to divert I'm the least. I'm an ICS user myself (Nexus One) and someone who flashed daily experimental roms and kernels like no tomorrow over the years. I'm all for an experience.

If I were doing it for a friend on the other hand who wouldn't know how to handle a crash or freeze, I would use GR6 with ADW EX launcher hands down.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tadaha:
Hey, it works on stock or Modaco's gr6 ROM.

So what I did was, install the latest Swype beta on stock/modaco ROM, then use TB to do a backup. After that restore the backup on your ics ROM. Then Swype works perfectly!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skullunit:
Same here, this rom has come a long way. I use it daily and it more than gets the job done. Sure the video playback has issue's but that's no biggie for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] synergy7:
Posted this the other day never got a response.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Swype on kindle fire.

Thanks I transfered the three files from titanium backup to dropbox on my gnex. then copied them over to titanium backup folder on KF then ran T/B restore backups with missing data.

it works like a dream.

Thanks:):):):):)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ZzHacks:
sweet i need to try this A.S.A.P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] namurt:
It turns out all I needed to do was download and install the latest Swype version onto my phone (a thunderbolt running cm7) and then side load the apk from /data/app/ on my phone into the same directory on my kindle. Then install that apk and presto!

I typed this post with Swype. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Any way you could compile an ad hoc build with the stock kernel? No offense to hashcode but I cant stand the screen flicker
[Kindle Fire Android Development] UberDuper:
Afaik the flicker is not kernel related.

Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Oh. I was mistaken. I thought I read some where that it was a result of hascodes kernel. I have the 0909 stock kernel build and have no screen flicker. What causes it? Is it known?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kdkinc:
Hi new to the party and just wanted to express my thoughts.

Up until last week the only tablet I had was the Acer A100 7" tab that run HoneyComb.

Last week I got the Kindle Fire and I feel like I just woke up from a coma! :eek:

Somehow after many trials and lots of error I was able to get the KindleFire toolbox thing amabob installed and working. yeah me...

I guess this is my third or forth Rom and IMHO I like this the best because it very similar to my Galaxy Nexus.

The other Rom's would not let me change keyboards and one of the rom's I used limited the apps I could D/l from the market.

Unfortunately the only issue I have is the NetFlix issue So I guess I'll have to continue to watch Sons of Anarchy on the PC or TV.

Being able to change keyboards is more than enough trade off.

I just wanted to say Thank You to all the developer involved and another Thank you for making my life so complicated...........

Now which device to flash today???? :D

The End.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] anorris666:
Can anyone point me to any sort of technical analysis or discussion of why the Netflix issue exists? I would really like to have that working on this ROM, but I haven't seen any of the devs mention the root cause.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Hashcode uses a different device tree, mine/JackpotClavins does not have this issue. I accidentally switched to his branch with last build (forgot that i did that when i compiled cm9-02-16). All builds before (like cm9-0209_hashcode) are with hashcode's kernel and don't have the flicker problem, also not this one:

cm9-02-19.zip

080365c11b2fd69cbdcff9e3baab1e17

Changelog from cm9-02-09:

+add support for ad hoc wifi (thanks to jdommer & Segnale007)

+reduced time until screen changes orientation from 200ms to 80ms (thanks to JackpotClavin)

+cm9 upstream changes include things like CombinedBar Auto Hide fix

To the people living outside north america: The build supports now all 2.4 GHz wifi channels, you may want to set

ro.wifi.channels

in build.prop (use build.prop Editor from market, e.g.) to 13 (14 if you live in Japan). I'll add a setting option for this when i have some time, i don't want to set it to 14 by default due to legal restrictions. You may need to do this every time you flash a new rom, until there is a setting for this.

I'm still looking into these wifi modules to find out where the cpu freq stuck on 1008 MHz comes from, nothing spectacular so far.

FYI: you can also set persist.sys.nobootanimation to 1 to disable boot animation, that has reduced boot time much on other devices. For the Fire it does not seem to speed it up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dcaplinger76:
I believe I have heard people say that it is the lack of hardware acceleration for the video
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
We don't have hardware video decoding yet, the internals in ICS changed very much compared to GB, when it comes to hardware video decoding (quoting more or less hashcode here, this might be very technical):

In GB we render to an "overlay", in ICS we render to a different gralloc object "IMG_native_handle". So in GB there is a full set of code that is loaded to a 2ndary processor called the Ducati by a kernel subsystem Syslink. In ICS the syslink subsystem is dropped and replaced with rpmsg, it also uses a an updated version of that Ducati binary which expects IMG_native_handle buffers to render to.

The best way would be to upgrade the kernel to 3.0.8+ (ICS) and use rpmsg to load the ICS ducati code and then we can use AOSP ICS domx source for hw codecs. The trouble with the 3.0 kernel is that we can't get it booting and we don't get debug output (therefore the UART development on that other thread).

People also work on backporting everything needed to get rpmsg up and running correctly in our 2.6.35 kernel (so we can load ICS ducati code and use AOSP ICS domx source for hw codecs). We could also re-write portions of the userland code to make swaps from IMG_native_handle buffers to something similar to overlay buffers which the GB ducati code expects. This involves technical hurdles like 2D to 1D mapping of buffers because the GB tiler allocator doesn't use 2D buffers & some other technical hurdles.

People much more gifted then me (like hashcode) are working on this, the devs from any other TI OMAP4 device using GB kernel have the same problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dcaplinger76:
For some reason when I click on an app in the market it halfway comes up and then says "error retrieving information from server.[DF-DA-01] " when loading the screen for the app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Thank you very much for clearing that up and hooking all of us up with this new compile.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] anorris666:
Thanks for the excellent info, nind. Sounds like a big hurdle but it's good to know that there are ways to address or work around it. I suppose it's just a matter of time.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] langthang:
Updated to newest build without any problem.

Thanks so much
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jmcoffey:
Same happened to me. Restart wifi and try again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdommer:
The adhoc is all in one file, /system/bin/wpa_supplicant. Back that up somehow, and you can use adhoc on build of your choice. Pay attention to owner (root.shell) as well as permissions (755) or wireless will be good and broken.

Jd
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
EDIT: Ad hoc works like a charm but I have issues connecting to one of the other networks I use(my girlfriend's Wifi) with an Authentication error, but have been able to conect to others with ease. Odd.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Thank you sir. Could I just save a copy of it to my sd card?

EDIT: What do you know about getting an authenication error when connecting to some networks but not others? Not ad hoc, it works fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
I doubt its something related with the patch itself.. Btw just to make sure, did you try to connect to this network your getting Authentication error with the stock wpa_supplicant ?

btw you can keep a copy of both patched and stock wpa_supplicant in your /sdcard/ for safety.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jaimemex:
Has anyone got chrome to work on this rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Chrome requires HWA in order to work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
Yeah . I tried with 0209 stock and nada. Weird... because I thought I previously got it to connect to this network. Maybe that was 0202...Might even be just the network, everywhere else seems to connect.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jdommer:
I've not had any problems connecting to any wireless networks. Done unencrypted, WPA, WPA2. Personal and enterprise, with and without MAC authentication. But if you tell me what the network you're having trouble with is, I'll go ahead and build one like it to verify.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
I had no issue with wpa_supplicant that came with 1-29.. Try with that one and let us know .. However can u connect to this network with another android phone, pc or something??

Also some logs might be helpful to find out why it wont connect.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CodenameDeadpool:
It was on a WPA/WPA2 psk. ATT U-Verse. All the CM7 builds connect to it, weird. Also, it showed up as me having no mac address or ip when it was trying to authenticate. That's as much as I know. Won't be able to do any further testing until I go back to my girl's, as I am home now.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

No problems with android phones, iphones, or even my kindle running CM7. All the builds of CM9 I have just won't do it now, for some reason. Though I did not yet get to try 1-29 on it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
So, is the link in the OP the latest release?

Or is there a more recommended release?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a2296455:
Does anyone know if this rom is being push to CyanogenMod's github. I'm trying to find it officially supported but I can't.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
It's not officially supported (yet).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Anyone?

Holding off on downloading to see if this is the latest release or not..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lea9ue:
The one named with today's date in the OP (2012-2-19) would be the latest release.;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Oh wow, haha, I feel dumb. I only saw 2-09 and I've seen do many User updated versions. Didn't realize he put out a release today lol.

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aoaleman:
Thank you nind. This ROM is gorgeous and amazing! :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] denglili:
ad-hoc works great! thank you so much!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
I can't turn on wifi in 02-19 room, what's the issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Can't you turn it on in settings or doesn't it find the wifi router?

Was your previous rom also from this thread?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
I'm writing this from my fire while connected to my Infuse sitting at Love Field.. So yeah, ad-hoc is working great!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
I can't turn it on from settings. It works fine on 02-09. I will try to flash again
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Carlos1970:
Same happened to me, restarted and it came up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Happened to me after initial boot up. A reset fixed it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
True, I noticed that on the first boot as well, not big deal.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mdifilm:
Hey everyone, I'm new on KF, just installed the MIUI cm9 rom and loving it, however, I come across a few apps that shows that my device is not compatible with it... I did a search and found little information about resolving that (other than the lcd display info change which is already done).

Has anyone found a way to work around or had a fix for this? Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jessical:
Is the brightness fixed in the 2-19 ROM now? That's the main issue I was having with the first version of it.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

You'll have to do some edits to your build.prop. Some apps, specifically tablet ones won't work until you change the DPI either.
