I didn't see it on your bug list, or the one in original post, but what about the wallpaper issue (i.e. being really zoomed in and not scrolling)? Is that an actual "bug", or is there some way to fix that, that I've just overlooked?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rootedm1001:
I'm having the same issue at my workplace I am running ravens wifi also and it keeps loading as "connecting" on my kindle our IT guy is stumped
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
I'm not sure if that's a bug but I'll add it when I get home.

With regard to the wallpaper issue, in switching to nova launcher instead of trebuchet, my wallpaper is appropriately sized/placed and even scrolls as it should.

I will post updates if there are any. If there's no new post on hardware video or any other bug, then there's no news on it.

But reading is hard!

Looking forward to the progress on this. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger, but I'm tentative because I have a lot of amazon content already.

I should just buy another one for playing with.

My Kindle Fire has been idle for 26 consecutive hours now and has not encountered the SoD. I'm running the Jan21 build with the built in kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spyz88:
I've had this ROM loaded for 4 days. Random usage, usually left alone at night. I've never had the SoD issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vampyrex13:
No SoD since switching to this ROM, nightly 20.

i just had a SOD and only installed the most recent update 1-20 yesterday. Doesnt bother me at all just being verbose.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] datacron:
Is there any kernel that actually allows the CPU to switch modes so I can get decent battery life?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ammubarak:
I had no SOD since I have used the default browser embedded with latest ROM. The wifi works perfect under corporate environment using the advanced configuration.

I noticed that some market applications can not be installed directly and I had to side install them manually such as Facebook and twitter.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] philwaud:
Here is how I got a bit further!

In normal settings, add a new network with the same ssid as your enterprise one, even if you can see it in your list of networks. Set it as wpa/wpa2

Get wifi advanced configuration editor from the market. You can adjust your enterprise settings from there.

Use a static IP, this gets me as far as connected, but then I get no further. Its something to do wityh the proxy settings and I'm waiting for our techies to send me some info.

I'm guessing there aren't many enterprise networks which is why the bugs haven't been ironed.

Hope this helps!

Just curious as to whether the community is currently stumped on HW video acceleration and Flash in the browser? Or whether there have been any breakthroughs that are just being developed....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
As far as I know, yea, they're stumped atm. Give it a few days and I'm sure it'll get worked out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ammubarak:
This ROM has advanced configuration option to setup the proxy for enterprise network. It does work perfectly. The proxy server and port are required or you may use the IP address for the proxy.

So, I've browsed the thread, and I don't see any posts regarding this issue. Ever since the January 19th build, only some of my widgets have been resizeable. News and weather and power control remain in the smallest size.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tillum:
For what it's worth, I don't get and SOD problems on my Fire tablet... which makes me wonder if there is a background process causing the problem for others that I'm NOT running. I'm connected to my home wpa network most of the time, and usually have my tablet on. At night I'll either leave it for long periods connected to the charger, or not. I haven't run any tests to see what's happening with my cpu during this time.

I'm in Australia, so google talk won't work. Therefore, I can't use it. Don't know if that has anything to do with your SOD problems. I'm happy to send through a list of what's installed, and running, if someone can tell me an easy way to do it. Cheers.

I'm with you. I left my Fire unused for 3 days without touching it and didn't have any SoD. Surprised the battery lasted that long. Turned on the screen and it yelled at me it was at 1% battery than promptly died. At least now I can clear battery stats.

Which launcher are you using? I know that in most, you go to settings and make all Widgets resizable. Just do that
[Kindle Fire Android Development] trvor:
A major bug this experimental ROM has right now is the USB debugging mode.

The notification that the Kindle Fire has been connected to the computer, or the message with the options to choose from once the Kindle is connected to the computer, simply just does not show up, nor does it show the Kindle as a device under My Computer when plugged in.

To transfer files from the PC to the Kindle Fire, I had uninstall the ICS ROM and send its state into my last backup that only has Go Launcher Ex and Superuser as experimental programs.

This is just a bug note, as I've not seen anyone else mention this in more recent posts.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eratosthene:
I believe this might be something to do with ICS implementing the MTP protocol instead of the usual USB Mass Storage protocol. Maybe. Anyway, here's some info:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fireblend:
Is there any actual evidence that links the SoD to CM9 exclusively? I'm willing to bet it's more of a hardware issue (unfortunately). I've been using CM9 without experiencing anything similar in the least (and I think we've seen a fair share of posters here that have that in common), while I was handed a Kindle Fire earlier to root (owner hadn't even had the chance to toy with it) and bam, I got the SoD (or at least something very similar to it) a few hours ago... I hadn't even connected it to my computer, happened with the stock ROM and in a practically new KF. Had to hard-reset it. So, is there any more evidence linking these particular occurrences of the SoD to CM9 than there is that points to it being more of a HW or non-ROM issue?

I'd say (and this is my personal opinion) until there is such evidence, it shouldn't be listed as a ROM bug, and more as an issue that all KF owners seem to be experiencing.

Another thing: There seems to be prevalent reports on faulty Wi-Fi behavior. Is there a consensus on what exactly is the issue, or is it more of a random-disconnection/not being able to connect thing? It'd be nice to track these issues down to a reproducible report that can be debugged.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] riguy156:
Hay guys every time i try to unlock it i get unfortunetly com.android.phone as stopped. i hit ok and it pops up again previous to this i modified the framework with KF utility and added gaps and go launcher with it as well. I wipe cahce and the dalvlik cahce before and after flashing
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
Modifying framework shouldn't be the problem, especially with the phone apk (unless you themed it bad). One problem could be the gapps. Just make sure you got the ics ones, and always, always before a new ROM install, do a full wipe. System, factory, cache, dalvik-cache.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FlyRyan:
Yep. intersectRaven's with SetCPU (in the market) will do that.

I have never had SoD on CM7 (which I'm currently using, with the default kernel) or stock. I ran ICS for a 3-day period from the release on the 20th to the 22nd and got SoD 2-3 times a day. It might be some OTHER process or application I have installed when running ICS (the v10 gapps and a couple games, and Facebook/Twitter mostly), but it's certainly not hardware in my case.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
So the market is saying YouTube remote isn't compatible so I side loaded it from my phone. I didn't have any other screens connected to my account but I know it will play videos anyway and I wanted to checkout the layout on ICS. First thing I noticed is that it plays the videos in HQ! Couldn't get full screen tho. Maby it can be examined and some kinda work around can be found :cool: here is a direct dl link for the apk.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JoshuaLintag:
Are the devs working on the bluetooth?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterchiefb117:
So I wanted to give the newest update some time and work around certain things before giving my 2 cents.

The video issues are a given already. Sound works great, using it as my big a$$ mp3 player. I do have my issues with sound not going back to speaker when I unplug my earphones. Have to FC my music app(or what ever app that i was using for audio) not a biggie for me.

I have been reading about ppl getting the SoD and I dont know how are why but I have not experienced it yet. I use my Kindle on a regular basis and not once has it have problems turning on, no waking problems, runs absolutely smooth. I have one of my coworkers in IT that bought his KF to play around with it and right after flashing everything and getting settled he and I tried to do a speed test on read/write on the sd and his SoD. I have kept everything stock on mine, stock kernel even though I really wanted to try out ravens kernel.

At this point I'm trying to see if maybe I did something on my KF unintentionally to not produce SoD on mine. I have 2 other KF's so Imma see if maybe I can reproduce a SoD and see if its something that Im combining to not do it.

All I have at this moment is a tearing like effect when i try to rotate the screen but that has been addressed already, usb not mounting but doesnt hurt to boot into TWRP and mount usb. I have no wifi issues, Im always connected,I dont get kicked off. Im able to download some big files and leave it on my desk and come back and its still connected to my jobs wifi. Put simply if it works dont miss with it :)

I thank everyone whos helping on making my KF super awesome and I plan on giving some of you guys a drinks. Lets keep the good things rolling.

Ill check back in after my lunch break, pretty hungry and I dont know whats open 3am in Burbank.

Same here I just posted up my comment and went back on some comments to see if maybe someone had something figured. But yeah I havent had the SoD yet either. I guess I'm not alone

First off, Let me say, "Kudos to the Devs!!".

ICS on KFire has been superb.. and, thanks to their work, getting better every week.

My question to anyone.., I've noticed that since I loaded ICS, that the touchscreen has been super sensitive to registering taps as drags. I wanted to know if anyone knew of a way to adjust the touchscreen dead zone? IE The amount of lateral movement required before the kernel decides that a tap is a drag. My understanding (limited.. I'm still reading and learning on app and rom development..) is that this value is set in the kernel and thus can't be changed via an app. Is that true? Or is the dead zone value separate from the code that designates the panel's min/max x/y inputs?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eclass82:
super sensitive? I have the opposite issue, it not sensitive enough
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
It's actually so sensitive that a lot of touches get registered as drags and consequently, it won't click on an app on your home screen or whatever you want it to do. USB is weird.. it's due to the pixel density believe it or not. Been looking into the issue for the last couple days but no progress :/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
Has anyone figured out how to make a build.prop for this ROM that will make apps like "NFL '11 for Android Tablets" show up in Android Market? I've tried a few simple changes (like changing the name of the device), with no luck....

I'm frustrated as hell over the whole Android Market system. The nice people at Songza sent me the APK via e-mail for me to ensure that it would work on the Kindle Fire running this ROM (and it does), but there's still tons of Honeycomb/Tablet apps on Market that just show up as incompatible, and it's sad that this is perhaps the biggest flaw in the whole plan.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] zacwhite15:
LMFAO! why am i not surprised that google would pop something like that on us :P

Quick Work Around that I've been using...

I use my phone to download the app that I want on my kindle

then I use Titanium Backup to backup the app apk file of the app... then I copy the apk to dropbox then I download it to my kindle via dropbox.. then install!!

Ive done this a few times with apps such as Springpad and such...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
Good idea, I've been getting around the limitations with a different approach. I use an app called MyAppSharer, I can email the .apk to my gmail account and install it directly on my fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
I use the same approach with my Nexus One, but that approach doesn't work on tablet-only versions of apps.

PS lol tapatalk must pull my device name from build.prop
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eclass82:
Yeah on the other hand I can use the same approach if I use my HP Touchpad running 4.0 to download tablet apps with Titanium Backup..

[Kindle Fire Android Development] mitzumr:
does anyone know if it supports USB Host via adaptor?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iroctheworld:
Dunno, find out :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tillum:
Another way to install incompatible apps:

Go to the android market on the web, making sure you are not logged in to your google account. Search for the app you want, then tap install. You will be asked to sign in with your google account. Do this. You will then be asked if you want to be redirected to the market or browser. Choose market. Usually you will be asked if you want to install the app via the market, with the permissions screen coming up. Choose to install it, and away you go. The market will still say it is incompatible, but it will work with many apps. Good luck!

So far as I can tell, going to advanced settings under wifi and setting wifi off during sleep has helped with the SoD. Might be a good place to start.

However, I have to toggle wifi on/off sometimes to reconnect when I turn it back on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SkipKelley:
External USB devices

Currently not. I have an OTG cable I use on mt Nexus and nothing here. Hopefully after they get video wprking and start on the smaller issues it can be looked at. I definately love having it available for my phone. I keep 32 gigs of movies on it I have converted from iTunes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spyz88:
That's funny that you mention that. On all my Android devices I always shut off wifi during sleep. I also have NEVER gotten the SoD. So I definitely think thats a good place to start.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
This has been my experience too. Set to off while sleeping to save batteries, and it does not always come back when you wake the device. Toggling wifi will fix the problem. I've abandoned leaving wifi due to as long as wifi is on, my cpu will not throttle and sits at 1008 at all times consuming batteries rapidly. This occurs on both the current Kernel and wifi driver from JC and the modified one from IR. Sorting out these issues with the kernel and wifi and sleep will be a big help.

Also getting the wifi toggle built into the settingsUI menu as suggested by bl1nkk will make toggling wifi much easier.

Great work, On the galaxy tab I put the storage notification in TabletStatusBar.java. Also check out the fix for the rotation animation up on cyanogen review, it is working great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] psg190:
Apex has been the best for me too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
never mind ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
The rotation issue graphic glitch has been fixed (not my work, it was submitted to cyanogenmod) and I took the touch characteristics from the Motorola wingray device (might be the Xoom, not sure) but it's better but not perfect. I also modified the system UI to remove the notifications button and the airplane mode switch as they're never used even though the notification system UI force closure reboot problem has been addressed. Another modification to the quick menu is the addition of the wifi switch just like the auto-rotation switch that toggles wifi. I flashed back to stock and installed cpuspy and wifi is maxed out on that just like it is on our devices. Until we get a new kernel functioning, it probably won't be fixed until then :-) I will try to get HD video and Netflix working tomorrow and if I can, I will post that build with working HD video. If I can't I'll post a new build tomorrow some time or the next day

Cheers all, happy Friday!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
I've been getting a lot of lockups and soft reboots lately. Several things lead me to believe it has something to do with network traffic (ie when switching songs that are being streamed)

Also had a question, could it be hard coded into the device to turn wifi off when sleeping? Part of the time it ignores what I have the setting set to and turns it off when sleeping, I don't have any issues with the device during this time but it seems like a day or two later it starts trying to keep wifi connected at all times and problems like random reboots, locking up with network traffic and other odd things.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cruel91:
Thank you so much for continuing working on this ROM. Happy weekend !!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Sweet thanks a ton JackpotClavin! As soon as I get paid I'm donating what I can...Could you post the latest build with all those bug fixes if you get a chance?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fireblend:
Wow, some seriously amazing work, Jackpot. Many thanks; I may actually settle with the next release as my daily ROM.

Speaking of which, I've been thinking; would anyone like to compile a list of working and non-working/glitchy apps/games? We could have something similar to the ROM's bugs spreadsheet, except people would add games or apps they'd like to check are working on one column, and whoever's tried them would report on how they work on the other. What'd you guys think?

Anyway, awaiting the ROM's next release anxiously. Great job.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
I'm not sure that that's really necessary, I don't think the games bugs are actually related to anything wrong with the ROM. If anything, it'd probably be related to hardware video decoding, which JC is already working on. If other people feel differently, feel free to make a spreadsheet, just voicing my opinion.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fireblend:
It may not be very related to the ROM (and I agree, this might be off-topic and that's why I thinly veiled it within a "thanks" post), but it'd be a nice place for both people that are interested in knowing if their copy of World of Goo works right now, or whether all G-apps are functional, or (in case there are any) what workarounds they can implement. I know some people might have a couple of "key apps" they must absolutely have access to.

Anyway, I went ahead and made a quick template. If anyone's interested just use it.

USB Mounting

Hi, I LOVE this ROM. You devs are AWESOME. Thanks so much for all this work. I don't mean to sound like a noob or anything, but how do I mount this to my computer? I didn't see anything on the bug sheet about it. I probably missed something. Sorry. ;w;
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
It is in the bug sheet, but it's not really a bug. ICS doesn't allow people to mount their devices to computers the same way. What you can do is either use ADB or boot in to TWRP and mount there. You could also use something like WiFi Explorer. I like using Dropbox, it basically just lets you download files from a single folder on your computer. For syncing music/videos/podcasts you could try DoubleTwist, or Google Music.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
Hopefully HD video will works. Thank you so much!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Is the minor bug with the multitasking screenshots being rotated fixed? Just wondering, trying to update the spreadsheet lol.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] namurt:
several users have noted that they're turning off wifi during sleep to avoid any SoD's. i never had an SoD with my wifi sleep policy set to always on. then just for the heck of it, i changed it to never and wouldn't ya know it? i woke up this morning and tried to bring my fire out of sleep and it wouldn't wake up!

i just wanted to share my experience for the benefit of the devs who might be chasing this bug.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
What's the difference between "always on" and "never" - always on means it's never sleeping, right? Or am I thinking of the wrong options? My kindle is at home and I'm at work so I can't look at it for the moment. If I can get around SoD on ICS, the forthcoming build - whether it has HD video working or not - will be my daily driver.
