i flashed cm9_02_02 over VideoTouch1-20, only wiping cache and dalvik first. i'm now experiencing a handful of issues, and i'm betting a full wipe will do me a lot of good before i start troubleshooting. i'd also like to wipe /sdcard/. i haven't done so at all yet, even coming from the stock rom. there are still a lot of directories and files leftover in /sdcard/ that are related to the stock rom, heh.

do i have this order of operations (so to speak) correct?

i was going to do:

wipe system

factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

wipe sdcard

mount sdcard

push rom and gapps with adb

unmount sdcard

flash rom

flash gapps

reboot

sound about right?

Im really sorry if this isnt the place for this post, but Its obviously related to the kindle fire ROMS.

Ive installed all the various roms from this thread as they become available. They are gradually getting closer to perfection and the kindle fire/cm9 experience gets better and better.

Whenever I install a new ROM, it is added as a new device in the android market. Some apps get installed, but mostly I have to go through my list and push them to the kindle fire.

Is this normal? One of the early jackpotclavin roms (his first one I think but cant remember), didnt do this, all the apps were pulled across without any intervention.

My questions:

Is this normal?

How do I delete the other devices in my market account?

Is there a way of getting all my apps with each new ROM?

Like I said, sorry if this is a way laid post, and as always thanks for any advice!

Phil
[Kindle Fire Android Development] N23:
nope doesn't work - it shows no (active) "usb host support" and even doesn't recognize anything...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
I think the reason for this is that we have set and modified fake market permissions (there are still some apps tagged as incompatible) and whenever it is modified google thinks it's a new device. There might still be some modification in the future, when it reached a final state it won't happen anymore. (I think there might some difference between JC's build and my compile in regard to that file).

I recommend Titanium Backup to back all user apps (press menu and go into the batch mode) for now, even if you don't need the app data.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cruel91:
I cannot get Script Manager run with this one. The app is not responding

XDA premium cannot be installed either

One more note is that the ring lock needs to move up a little bit because I see its bottom part is hidden after status bar
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jearl75:
Yep, jt is the man. Worked wonders getting aosp on the fascinate, we got ics on it early on because of him as well. However, we have some great devs working on the fire as well, keep up the good work guys!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] namurt:
I ended up flashing cm9-02-04 after a complete wipe (including sdcard), and I've gotta say Hashcode's work on the kernel is definitely a noticeable plus. The whole ROM just feels a bit smoother and zippier.

With respect to the issues he's listed, my Kindle is going into deep sleep just fine. I am experiencing the power down issue though.

As for the ROM, other than the sdcard issue that's already been mentioned, the only other thing I'm seeing is the minor UI glitch cruel91 posted. There's just a sliver of the lock screen ring being cut off as it dips behind the status bar. Moving it up a half inch would fix this.

Anyone have a work-around for the sdcard issue that doesn't involve mounting USB to my PC? I have quite a few apps installed to my sdcard, and after a reboot, they all disappear until I've mounted to my PC. I was hoping for a work-around that would work right on the Kindle, an app or script or something.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] That Baker Guy:
i cant get script manager to run either, i got it to run one time long enough to run v6 super charger but other than that one time i cant get it to run.

I swear I have seen higher scores.

This is with the 02-04 from with has codes kernel

Edit: the score is 1816 for tjoe that don't want to click the link lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
That is a kernel releated problem. An option would be IntersectRaven latest kernel
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raphytaffy:
Hi all, not sure if this has been reported yet, but Plex does not seem to be working well with this build. Is anyone else able to use Plex to connect to their media server? Other than this issue, it has been great for me! Thanks for all the hard work!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nichojo:
This is my main reason for not fully migrating to ICS. Doesn't Plex require hardware decoding?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raphytaffy:
Ah yes, I forgot about that. In my case however, it will not even connect to my media server, so there's never an option to start playing a video that would require hardware decoding.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Hey,

i think i fixed the "could not install app to sd" issue (i only had time for a short test).

[Edit: It is only a partial fix. Connect Kindle to USB, mount USB and unmount it. Now you can install the app to sdcard. You may need to mount & unmount USB to start the apps on SD Card after every restart.]

http://www.mediafire.com/?y7tc43cvtzxkav9

f8920722d2fda8f69e7fcf9bb0b792f7 cm9-02-05.zip

It's with Hashcodes new kernel so remember that it has the power off issue (it does not go completely off). No other changes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Note that you won't see the highest benchmarks on my kernel. It was meant too be as close to stock as possible (to start). Im basing work on the hw codecs on my kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] namurt:
Just flashed cm9-02-05 over what was a completely fresh (full wipe) install of cm9-02-04, wiping cache and dalvik only this time around.

The sdcard issue is still present for me. If I install apps to the sdcard, after a reboot they are not seen unless I mount/unmount USB to my PC. They will then remain viewable/usable until another reboot.

EDIT: Is it necessary for me to do another full wipe perhaps?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Hmm this worked for me (no fullwipe needed):

Connect Kindle to USB, mount USB and unmount it. Now you can try to install the app, for me it installed it to sdcard. If i don't mount and unmount USB before it i get also the "could not install to sd" message. When i tested it, i tested first if USB still works and then if the app to sd thing works, that's why i did not notice it.

Can you confirm this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
I can confirm this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] namurt:
On cm9-02-04, if I did not mount/unmount USB prior to installing an app, I would get the "could not install" error message. On cm9-02-05, I am not getting that error message, and I do not have to first mount/unmount USB.

My issue is just a bit different. Once I have installed an app to the sdcard, if I reboot the device, the app does not show up on the app drawer. If I attempt to use a homescreen shortcut, I get an "App Not Installed" message. The only way to make any apps which were installed to the sdcard usable again after a reboot is to mount/unmount USB.

So yes, I can confirm that the issue is partially fixed. Does that make sense?

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Sorry for the double post, but would anyone else mind testing this out to see if they can replicate the issue I'm experiencing? I don't think I'm crazy, and I don't think there's something obvious I'm missing here. You never know, though.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Triple posting, but I thought of one last thing. I guess I'm being confusing as to the process I'm utilizing.

I can install apps from the market. I'm then using the app "Apps 2 SD Pro" to move the app to the sdcard. When I've done this, after a reboot, the app "virtually" disappears and only mounting/unmounting USB brings it back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
I am having the same problem. After reboot, app on sdcard disapear. Mount/Unmount fix problem.

I also installed IntersecRaven Kernel and it doesn't have the issue. I can reboot and app on sdcard show up normally.

So I'm not crazy! Good to know!

Do you have any SoD or power down issues with IR's kernel? Or any issues with the device not going into deep sleep? Maybe I'll have to give IR's kernel a go until Hashcode gets further along with his kernel.

Seriously, there needs to be some moderation here. How many people are allowed to come along and ask lazy/stupid questions? It's making the thread balloon into an unmanageable size.

I know XDA has this image of being rough on newbies, but this isn't about newbies. This is about people too lazy to take an extra minute or two to use the search function, or heaven forbid, simply use their eyes.

I know this argument has been rehashed a gazillion times but COME ON!

Something weird going on with 02_05 and usb. I'm getting the no USB the second time around and no ADB function at all, even after verifying ADB function on.

02_02 has the working USB, but no ADB. I think I had ADB on the 01_20, what got broken?

USB is awesome to have, but ADB will save your bacon if you've really effed up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
in 02-02 i switched partially to MTP from UMS due to the fact that with ICS UMS is only for devices with removable sd card. In 02-05 i switched completely to MTP. Here is a quote from the linked wikipedia article:

So if you are running Windows XP check if you have Windows Media Player 10 or higher installed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Im on windows 7

latest build 02-05

came from 02-04

factory reset/ delvik&cache

no usb at all.

flashed rom & gapps

signed into google whilst still connected to usb.

rebooted and no usb connection.

rebooted again and unplugged usb cable.

then downloaded an app and it said that it could not install so i went to root explorer and changed permision to r/W and tried again.

then the app installed ok.

then reboot and no app again.

I hope some of this info helps in some small way.

Interesting. So the only change was kernel? I can take a look at intersect's kernel and see what he's adding for USB support.

Did the kernel have a different ramdisk?

Had installed 02-02 on my kindle fire. Amazing graphics and interface compared to CM7. My kindle looks like a proper tablet now with ICS. :)

Thank you guys!

Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to connect MSN Messenger (WithYou) app to my msn account. Another more important issue is the fact that I can't retrieve my e-mails from msn, gmail and yahoo accounts set-up in the CM9 native email exchange app.:confused:

Nothing against this site but this is one of the worst places for asking a simple question and having people jump down your throat over it. To me it is the singular biggest problem with XDA forums.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] papugoz:
Small problem here.

After instalation of 05/02 build, I cant mount it in both SD drive and ADB mode.

Windows want from me new drivers which i don't hace (I'm using drivers from KFU pack)

Any ideas ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Shahpur.Azizpour:
The problem is that this will clutter the thread and it will become much more difficult for devs to find feedback they need to fix the open ROM issues.

Maybe there should be another specific ICS KINDLE FIRE thread where everybody can state all general questions regarding those ROMs and this one should be reserved for dev discussion and feedback about new found bugs...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
As stated before you need Windows Media Player 10 or higher if you have Windows XP. I'm still working on this usb issue but don't have much time these days, so it might work in the next build without drivers necessary. Anyway in theory it should switch to adb only mode if it detects that the usb hosts does not support MTP....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] papugoz:
Using Vista atm, and AFAIK Vista have built in MTP support.

Actually tried reinstall drivers on windows, restart KF, and switching USB ports.

ROM was instalated after factory reset, wipe of system, cache and dalvik. It was clean install. I'll try to ADB push in recovery dual sd mount, maybe it will fix it.

Win says that it cant built folder tree on USB drive - maybe thats the problem. Ofc on dev i don't have any notification, so I could turn on USB mode on it.

When I tudning on debugging mode, kindle drive incon in explorer dissapears, and thats it, just problems witch drivers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
Part of the problem is that this got created/converted to a dev AND discussion thread.

In reality, Jackpot/Hashcode/etc should spin off a new thread JUST for the development part of it, potentially closed/locked so that only they can post to it.

That thread should then refer to 2 threads, one in discussion, and one in Q/A.

Not that I'm saying this excuses people from reading the thread (and the OP whenever the date changes) before posting (because it drives me batty, as well), but I at least understand where the confusion comes in for the lazier/duller contingent.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
At least someone else confirms what I found. As I said previously, I'm on win7 and WMP12, so definitely meet or exceed XP with WMP 10.

You could go back to CM9_02_02 which does not have the USB issue, but to get ADB you might have to go back to 01_29 or 01_20 (which had working ADB but not USB.)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nind:
Hmmm, i don't have a good guess what the problem is. But i'll try to fix the "add could not install to sdcard" issue first and then try to partially revert my old changes to see where the critical point is. But it will take some time as i have a lot of other stuff to do and i can't reproduce the issue here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
I could flash backwards to find when ADB starts working and I can flash test builds if you want. It makes sence for me to do it as I can re produce the problem. I basicly have today, but will be very busy until next Tuesday after that. I'll be up on IRC in a bit.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
I don't think this really is needed. Most development happens on IRC+Github.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I have a feeling we're mixing up kernels and ramdisk issues.

USB mounting is most likely a ramdisk (init.rc/init.omap4430.rc) issue with the /sdcard being configured differently across about 6 builds containing variations on the boot.img (kernel + ramdisk). Unless intersectRaven has done some patching to the USB subsystems in the kernel.

Issues like sleep of death, missing deep sleep (high battery drain over time when not in use), wifi drivers and power down issues are kernel problems.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
It's not rocket science - unless the person posting the ROM says "this feature is fixed" I have to assume it's not. And if I have reason to believe it might be, I'll flash it and find out for myself. Release notes are effectively a changelog. This is what's different. If it's not listed here, it's not different. That's how my day job works and it's how most projects work. The feature in question is still listed at the top of the spreadsheet as well. Believe me when I say I really want it to work - when that works, my wife will be super-happy, because she has the Kindle now and would like ICS. Since she wants to use Netflix and hates the stock Amazon ROM's notification/settings bar, she's running CM7 on it at the moment. So I'm right there with you hoping for it but I'm not useful enough to help rewrite. I get the helpless feeling. But continually asking doesn't get us any closer. Sorry that you feel I'm jumping down your throats, but you're just clogging the thread with needless posts.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] namurt:
For those having adb or no usb issues with the latest builds, manually reinstall your drivers via device manager. You can use the drivers from the latest KFU pack.

I ran into this problem as well, and it was because of nind/sitic's switch to mtp (as he himself mentioned). A simple driver reinstall was all it took.

Btw, I'm running Win7 Pro x64.
