Hello, very good rom for every day use, thanks to developers.

But I have one question, it is not about this rom, it is general question about ics, but I can't find unswer on it. Why in full screen mode (in games, or in video) I always se the black line in the screen with four points, where was buttons and time, are there any ways to delete this panel in full screen mode?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chiggins:
Well then how would you get back to home eh?

Still getting the SoD with Wifi in deep sleep turned to never.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

By the way, anyone tried dual booting on the Kindle Fire? I'd like to put the stock ROM back on here to take a look around (barely played with it before flashing this), but I don't want to actually wipe of CM9 either...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bitemeoftn:
I tried using Boot Manager but it didn't work. It said I would have to enter all the information manually, but I e-mailed the dev team so hopefully they'll look into making some support for it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scarsofthumper:
Maybe just do a full backup, flash a rooted stock rom, then flash back?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] namurt:
Under Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced there is an option which reads "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" and the choices are:

Always

Only when plugged in

Never

So you are correct. Always means that Wi-Fi does NOT turn off when the Kindle goes to sleep, and Never means that Wi-Fi DOES turn off when the Kindle goes to sleep.

I did a further bit of testing with regard to this issue, and here's something else of note. I seem to only be able to produce an SoD when my battery level dips to a low percentage, around 15% or less. I've not yet gotten an SoD when I have a higher battery level. When my battery is that low, however, my Wi-Fi sleep policy has no effect. I've gotten SoD's with it set to Always and also with Never.

I can also confirm (as overs have mentioned) that setting my Wi-Fi sleep policy to Never causes an issue whereby Wi-Fi won't re-initialize after waking the Kindle. I have to go into Settings -> Wi-Fi and toggle it off and back on.

I mean, if you REALLY wanted to do that, I would recommend installing button savior from the market. Then just turning on notifications to make the systemui crash (or just delete systemui.apk from system/app). There you go :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chiggins:
That's what I do, I have almost too many backups from all the times I go back and forth.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ontwowheels:
I am very interested in taking a look at this ROM, but have never flashed a ROM to the Fire before. I am running the stock 6.2.2 ROM, have root access and have TWRP 2.0 installed.

Am I able to do a full backup (all options seleced) with TWRP, save the backup in the TWRP sdcard directory to my computer to be safe, than download and flash the ICS ROM? THEN, when I am finished checking out ICS I can flash back to my backup, reboot and won't miss a beat?

Any gotchas in that process of flashing and flashing back? One would think there has to be... ;)

THANKS in advance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Should work like that. I'd just be careful about wiping the SD Card, I don't think TWRP backs that up. But yea, it's pretty straightforward. Remember this is still a pre-alpha, so it's still buggy and stuff.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dekan54:
Take a look at this You Tube video ( http://youtu.be/OqiX-If5w_4 ) this is how I learned to do my first ROM on the KF.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] That Baker Guy:
i have the latest video rom, with 0xD34D's kernal everything was running fine, until i let it die... now i cant download from the market.. smh.. oh well, ill just wait until the next update. keep up the good work just thought id share my troubles.

UberDuper has figured out a way to open up the Market app availability.

See thread here; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21896356
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ontwowheels:
Thanks....in this video, it mentions getting an app from the market to backup your data and apps. Aren't they backed up by TWRP if you select data during the TWRP backup?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dekan54:
At 1 minute 40 seconds into that video it talks about backing up your current ROM (what you have loaded on your KF at that moment) so that you can get back to that if something goes wrong. Like a snapshot in time.....

I made a back of my new KF when it first came out of the box. Even before I entered my Amazon.com account info. That way with TWRP I can restore my KF to "right out of the box" if I need to.

Making sense now?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ontwowheels:
Well.....when you "back up current rom", is that backing up everything including data and apps...so whenI restore it I am back to exactly where I was when I took the backup? That is what is not clear, exactly what is and is not getting backed up by TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
The backup will restore ''everything'' to the way it was when you made it, system, apps, data etc.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ontwowheels:

I think I must've done something wrong because I've run across something I thought was a long-fixed bug.

I've found a few apps that I'm getting the error "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD Card". Specifically, Field Runners HD and the SVOX voices.

I'm running the 1-20 Jackpot rom on Intersect's kernel.

I believe these are the interesting log lines, but if you want others, let me know what to collect...

Just wipe cache and dalvik and reflash. Still not working? Probably going to have to d a full wipe
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ontwowheels:
Success....not that I doubted anyone... ;)

I backed up my current stock rig via TWRP, installed this ICS rom along with the google apps, checked it out some...then restored back to my stock rig just to see if all went well.....and it did...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dekan54:
Way to go....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] csholmq:
Nice ones! Except, I do use (or would use) the notifications switch :( Anybody know where to find that option in system settings?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thornd7:
Sweet.. I'm looking forward to seeing what touch settings Jackpot got from the Xoom. I figured out that the Fire's touchscreen settings are in /system/usr/idc/ilitek_i2c.idc . I was experimenting with settings I derived from a Transformer Prime's touchscreen idc:

# Size

touch.size.calibration = area

touch.size.scale = 22

touch.size.bias = 0

touch.size.isSummed = 0

# Pressure

touch.pressure.calibration = amplitude

touch.pressure.scale = 0.0125

# Orientation

touch.orientation.calibration = vector

Like Jackpot said, new settings seem better but not perfect. At some point, I hope another vendor will use the same ilitek touchscreen and I can loot the OEM settings. Also found an ilitek utility in the android market (search for ilitek). The circle and point test work but some functions fail as I think it was intended for older version of android. Still might be useful..

Happy weekend!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Why would you turn off Notifications on this ROM unless you enjoy the lack of status bar and abundance of "Sorry, SystemUI.apk quit working" messages? You need to leave Notifications on if you want a functional device.

Kick-ass about the Market tweak. Definitely will do this next time I try out ICS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
Market tweak?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
JackpotClavin, please integrate this in to the ROM, works like a charm.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ontwowheels:
I haven't played with the rom too much yet, but so far it looks great. Well done folks. Certainly stable for me so far.

Question, on the home screen there seems to be a lot of dead space...can't move my widget higher....particularly in portrait....can that be changed?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iluretar:
you can install apex launcher and set the grid to 10*10

The notification fix is already merged. As such, there should be no crashes. I just think it's a shame to hide settings when they're not available in system settings.

Anyone have the latest SystemIU.apk? I am unable to fully sync with the cm source to do it myself. Maby if anyone has compiled once they could grab the latest source of it and manually apply it and use mmm to compile just the SystemUI.apk?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dro1dfan:
having a little trouble.

i ticked enable adb in the settings, but when i run adb on the pc i get device not found error - any ideas guys?

also talk does not work for me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
I know it's been merged, but why would you even want the option? It's like saying "hey, don't touch that tree or I'll break your arm" and then dangling a branch in front of a person.

That's a terrible simile there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
In the latest (unreleased) build turning off notifications doesn't crash SystemUI, though. I was the one who suggested we got rid of that switch, but if it works now ten I don't see the harm in leaving it...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
OK now I get it. I thought you meant the removal of the option has been merged. If disabling them has been fixed and it's fixed on the Fire, then I would also be in favor of leaving the option. I had missed that they've been FIXED fixed, my bad.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Shahpur.Azizpour:
hi all,

I installed this rom yesterday and I really like it. This is the first custom rom I flash, and I'm not sure how I did it but everything went smoothly.;) Even without hardware acceleration its so much better than 2.3. But there are some questions I have:

1. Is it normal that there is so much wasted space on the top of the homescreen in portrait view? There is literally 20 % of the screen not useable as you can't place shortcuts on that area. I wonder if this is regular ics behaviour.

2. Rom Manager was pre installed. But whatever option I choose I get the message to install cwm first. But I already installed cwm to flash this rom, why doesn't rom manager recognize this? Is it safe to just let rom manager install it again?

3. How the hell could the kindle fire fetch all my Google accounts automatically?! I did a full wipe and after installed the ics rom the google accounts where automatically added.

4. Installed the official twitter app, but it doesnt accept my credentials. Any clue? Seesmic works with the same credentials.

5. Most of the trebuchet options are not accessible only the general settings. How can I fix that?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dnd61:
Waiting for the lasted build now, hopefully it will be released soon. Thanks for you devs.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spyz88:
@JackpotClavin

Any chance of getting the position of the OK and cancel buttons fixed? Currently they are "cancel and OK" instead of "OK and cancel". Its not just those choices on the buttons but they seem to be flipped.

Is this a new change to ICS or is it a bug? I haven't used any other ICS devices.

Also, thanks for all the work you do. We all appreciate it :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
It's a change in ICS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spyz88:

Have you looked into the wlan calibration utility built into the driver. You can also customize the MAC Address.

Original source of info

http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Porting_MCP_WLAN_to_Android#TxBiP_Calibration

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index...ce_(CLI)_User's_Guide#Editing_the_MAC_Address

I have used the calibartion utility once and copied the nvs_map.bin to all four of my kindles, only changing the mac address.

Manufacturer indicates that customer(amazon) should run uitility on each device.

We can probably find the original file by restoring to factory. I have looked in the factory update files and could not locate it. Of course it would be a custom file to each device (mac address unique).

My four kindles connected to secure wireless do not appear to have any problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406845

I have also used my nvs_map.bin while running your ics build to retain my mac address.

edit:

I have reports from other cm7 users that running the calibaration routine and using resulting nvs_map.bin file fixes cpu scaling issue for them also

edit:

Thanks for your continued effort on this great platform.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dragossh:
Didn't see this posted already, but when you disable notifications the bottom bar goes into a crash frenzy. As far as I recall, it's either a missing file or a missing string. Don't want to wipe all the data again so no logcat output.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] enkode:
So, why am I getting keyboard feedback sounds and unlock sounds, and no sounds from notifications or media?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeWhoWas:
Read the OP. Sound is sketchy.

---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

I read this, less than an hour later was playing around with the quick settings having just discovered them. Turned notifications off, and it died :-( Any way to re-enable them without wiping? I keep getting sent to the UMS app by default, and then UI crashes, so I can't go back :-(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dragossh:
I have no idea. The only way to get it to work was to wipe the data and set it up again.

Do we have any idea why sound doesn't work all the time? It seems to start working every time something crashes...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
Try `adb lolcat | grep -v "android_wait_for_fb_sleep"`

It should do the trick until there's a new zip. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
Hay guys whats up? Just wanted to stop by the house.

Made a version of this ROM its very similar to my Xoom ICS but uses this base. Its looking good but not ready to hit the streets just yet. Plus I haven't ask the OP so keep that quite.

Got all the same problems nothing new but I give OP the NICE JOB OP.

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

Forgot couple things:

OP when flashed I didn't have root was wondering if you are just going to include it.

Also the ROM did not have /data/apps for user apps, plans to add that?

I have both working in the version of your ROM I did. If you want or would like I can give the script line I used. Actually here I'll just post it incase someone else wants it.

and this to updater script:

ui_print("Extracting user data....");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/userdata", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/data");

create /data/app inside ROM zip add your apps to app folder.

Superuser

Copy SU binary to /system/bin

and this to updater script:

symlink("/system/bin/su", "/system/xbin/su");

Actually I over right the one in xbin as well..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
What do you mean it didn't have user data?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
User data is sometimes included in the downloaded ROM. Its a folder that contains apps that get installed when you flash the ROM. Apps in /data/app can be uninstalled. So he can put say GMail.apk in there and then if someone didn't want it, it would be unistall it. Thats all.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Oh I gotcha. I think there's a legal issue if CM were to include Google apps within the zip so we have to flash gapps separately
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
:eek: :D

I'm sure you meant adb logcat right?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
WHAT! Thats crazy i'm not doing that just too much to go wrong.. Really CM makes GAPPS? Thats nuts..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
No, Google owns gapps but threatened CM with legal action for including them in their builds, which is why you have to flash it seperately.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
Nope, lolcat is right. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
Got some pictures attached. I removed some off the GAPPS stuff and this seems pretty solid now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sadalius:
It is pretty sweet. I went back to CM7 for now because I had sound issues. Seemed to work sporadically for me. Once everything gets ironed out, this will be one sweet ROM.

Confirmed!!! Great job!!!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
I have the long press power menu for power off, screenshot, reboot etc. working. Except that there is the useless option for flightmode on/off, looks like the only way to change that is to edit frameworks/base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions.java. I tried to overlay it, but it didn't work.

I also removed the camera icon from lockscreen, what sould we place there? Nothing else? Sound on/off? I mean sound off/on on lockscreen is not so important on a tablet without phone capabilities ...

The sound on/off icons on the lockscreen aren't currently working, i just place the icons there.

Edit: JackpotClavin has already merged the changes, so it should be included (at least the power menu thing) in the next build, to get usb working we sould to understand https://github.com/pershoot/android_device_samsung_p4-common/blob/ics/init.p3.usb.rc , it's from the galaxy tab and they have working usb.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Awesome job!!! I believe I've found the reason as to why the USB won't mount. For some reason when we set the pixel density in the build.prop to 161 as opposed to the expected 160, the tablet comes out looking like a phone (has the layout of the phone but just looks gigantic, similar to CM7 on a tablet compared to a phone) but for some reason or another, the USB would only mount when it looked like a phone with the density set to 161 as opposed to 160 where it looked like the traditional tablet. I think I've figured out why it's not mounting and it's because the notification that USB mounting is not showing up on the status bar on tablet like it does a phone. The status bar java files from https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr.../SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBarPolicy.java shows that the "StorageManager " should show on the status bar when a USB devices is connected but that's when the device is a phone. There is no reference to "StorageManager" anywhere in https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr.../SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/tablet/ so I think that's where things are going wrong. If there's no mention that a USB device is connected, then we won't be able to get to the screen where we can actually mount USB storage and the entire thing goes unnoticed. I'm gonna be away the next few days so if anybody wants to give this a shot I'll happily add it to the repository because I already have our customized SystemUI.apk being built which includes our volume slider!

Cheers and enjoy the rest of your weekend :-)

I found my cause of the wifi/CPU/1008, maybe it is your cause

Playing with a build based on a more recent GIT than the 1-20-12 build, I was reloading my KF from scratch.

Before I finished installing software, I was playing in the settings menu and came across the performance tab, which allowed me to see that with wifi on, my cpu was throttling at 300. No sign of the bug. So what could cause it, as soon as setCPU was run, bam 1008 as long as wifi was on. I uninstalled setCPU and still 1008. I in the system performance menu I unchecked set at boot for CPU governor, rebooted and now I'm throttling at 300 even with wifi on.

could this have been our problem all along?

having some issues with IMEI fix now, but I'm sure I'm the source of them. besides this is pre-releases of Alpha software.
