Talk still broken, and I wouldn't expect the video fix to be posted for at least a day or two.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sduvick:
Talk is broken because it looks for a non-existent camera, it has nothing to do with the video fix.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Just purchased my Kindle Fire less then 3 hours ago, and did not research XDA prior to coming home with it so excuse my lack of knowledge when I ask...

How far along are we with this ROM right now?

I'm running MeDroid ICS on my N1 right now, so I know there are of course bugs to be worked out, but this is my first tablet and its a whole new animal lol.

I'm running through the different ROMs right now for this thing, probably going to flash MoDaCo because it seems like a stable smart choice for a first ROM.

JC: You may want to check w/ Raven for the touch screen responsiveness code. I recall seeing something in his kernel thread about 6.1/6.2 driver updates pushed by amazon making their way into his kernel a week or two ago.

JC for jackpotclavin, not the other JC who could only walk on water and not program C.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trackstar996:
Downloaded and flashed. I have to say I'm really impressed. I like it a lot more than cm7
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
good new, bad news:

bad news: i couldn't find anything in the 6.2 -> 6.2.1 build that could be useful

good news: a patch has been submitted to optimize the library libinput.so which is responsible for processing all of our touches on the screen, and works very well with the kindle (no touches not going through like the 1/20 that previously didn't) works much better

good news: i found the files needed for video

bad news: only non-hd youtube videos play as of right now (looks like the same quality as CM7), and the CM7 video player plays like crap from videos that are stored on the device (vplayer is an excellent alternative for the time being)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] eclass82:
hmmmm wonder how this will play out with Netflix then....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
hey jc, check the last post over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1398014

that should be the appropriate diff for the input fix that happened 6.2>6.2.1
[Kindle Fire Android Development] RanT476:
We are all happy to have video for YouTube and hopely Netflix works too that will be the game changer HD will come down the line so no worries man upload that file!!! :D thx for All the work man
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yumcax:
Vplayer was good (I bought the full version), but the last few updates have been ****. MX Video Player is a much better option IMO. I watched Contagion on my KF last night, it worked perfectly.

Unrelated: I'd love to see CM9 customizations worked into this ROM. In my mind it is perfectly stable enough, and some of the changes look great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
Plex?

Has anyone tried Plex in the 1/19 build? I'd love to know if it works. That's basically all I use for video.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
I can confirm that by using IntersectRaven kernel for cm9, it makes the screen a bit more responsive.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] psg190:
Hasn't worked for me.

Sorry. Meant to quote above comment. Plex hasn't worked for me.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
I just checked out that thead and tried out the iltek touch utility. I never knew how bad my touch recognition was in CM7. Touch works much better now. Even if JC can't find a fix for touch, it looks like it might give us an alternative solution. Though that app might give JC the fix he is looking for with the upgrade option.

It looks like with video this will be my daily driver. Now unless things fixed and I didn't notice, we just need to figure out USB in CM9.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nixternal:
To bad that app doesn't have ICS support. You can't do anything with it, like calibration and what not. Permission Denied is all you get when you try to do pretty much everything.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] riverzhou:
Great Job!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] philwaud:
Already tried it, touch sounds turned off but the sound still turns back on when you type.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] mjm128:
This is looking pretty solid! Great work guys. I just have a few questions

- Wifi is sketchy and disconnects and gives me error messages saying i'm not connected. Did I do something wrong with flashing this?

- The apps that I had on before I came from amazon's OS are still there. Not sure why, I tried wiping and everything too.

- Does the kindle fire support more than 2 point touch?

(volume keys are nice! that volume button is kinda...meh and ugly lol...)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] philwaud:
I tether the fire to my galaxy s2 (CM7) all the time. Turn on tethered network on galaxy, fire connects, works fine.

I briefly tried to set up a password lock on the galaxy tethered network, but couldn't get it to work - not too important for me but I guess it would be essential for some. Didn't investigate much.

Phil
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bitemeoftn:
I use wifi tether for root users. For some it's been a bit of trouble, but if you open the app, click settings, and change the dns to 4.2.2.2 and the alternate dns to 4.2.2.1 it should work great!! It's been a long time ago since i found that fix so I'm not sure who I should give credit to, but I didn't figure it out myself. I use it on my DX to tether to my KFire and it works. Password protection as well.

Alright so I lied. Apparently on this build it DOESN'T work. I'd had it working previously, and it still connects to the comp. just fine, but the fire won't even bring up the connection for me to try.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
I've searched the thread for "sod" (with no results) and "sleep of death" (which had one result alluding to its existence for one user). The Google doc doesn't mention it, either. So does that mean that the SOD I experienced this morning is just me? edit: nevermind, black screen, and it seems fixable if you set the CPU to 600MHz as a minimum. I'll give that a whirl.

Also found out the hard way about disabling notifications. Whoops. :eek:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] That Baker Guy:
Thanks! I'll try this when I get home. The button is useful but the slider idea in the settings is brilliant
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jaimemex:
will this allow Netflix to work too?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] L1near:
Such awesome news that JackpotClavin found improvements to the touch response and video (even if it's CM7-like video). I cannot wait!

Amazing work!!!

One question: I still can't seem to get GTalk working. Is it just me? I thought a few people had it stable. I know there's issues with the it trying to load a camera, but I thought there was a way of fixing it..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
Until Gtalk either gets hacked or this ROM can lie to Gtalk, I recommend imo for android as a Gtalk client. Works with lots of other IM providers as well.

I will be watching this thread with baited breath for touch enhancements and video. Thanks again for all your work on this!

So, I understand it is normal that we can't mount USB storage rightness with this rom?

Another wish list item is wifi location services.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] phatboypat:
I can tether to my Motorola Atrix with Wifi Tether by setting the device profile to Nexus One. I have tried most others, but the kindle will not recognize it.

Indeed. People need to leave the man alone. :p

I do share their enthusiasm for ICS, though. I finally found an interface that I like. CM9 is awesome, even in its current state of slight weirdness.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
Yeah we will get it when we get it.

While we are at it, is anyone having problems with Calendar sync? I see my Google account there and the list shows that all apps are syncing with it but Google Calendar is not even in that list.

Running the calendar app show the Google account but says there are no calendars. Very odd.

Tried removing and adding the account but no dice.

Have you tried factory reset, wipe cache + everything, then reinstall? Im thinking some permissions or remnants of old stuff have messed it up for you?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
A little off topic, but does anyone else use a Google Apps account and Google+? I can log in to the Google+ app just fine with my Gmail account, but it doesn't work with my Google Apps account...Gives me a "problem communicating with the server error." Hadn't tried to log in to this account on previous builds, so I'm not sure if its just a Google Apps issue or an issue with this particular build/gapps package.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
I have done all these things but not simultaneously!

At any rate, if it is working for others then it is not this ROM so I won't waste bandwidth on it on this thread.

I really like this. I packaged it up in a zip for easy install :-) hope you don't mind me posting it http://db.tt/ckojckp1 I'll probably remove it when its obsolete
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
here's the .zip with working video. I've also implemented XDA user Chiggins' better volume slider which is much better than my uglier icon

everybody give Chiggins a big thanks! he's the reason we can have nice things

i also cherry-picked a change that hasn't been officially approved that cleans up and fixes some of the touch input code which fixes a lot of the touch events not doing anything. i saw a difference with touch input, hopefully you guys will too :-)

md5sum: 43879eaacc0104af2f935c366cbc0244

http://www.mediafire.com/?y8eocgddv569mdc

this wipes your /system and /cache so you'll have to reflash gapps which can be done consecutively. HD videos do not play with the youtube app, if you come across an hd video that you'd like to watch, just hit the little HD button and it will drop down to normal resolution and will begin playing after that. the little HD button i'm talking about is here

enjoy folks. i think that's it for the major bugs and missing functionality since we've upgraded to ics, now on to the tinier ones :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jessical:
Bravo JackpotClavin! Good deal.

On another note, Calendar keeps stopping here, will see if it still does it with this update.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Nice! Download the video ROM now :)

For Chiggins, or someone who knows how to do this...Can someone replace the icon from Chiggin's volume slider with this one?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12147973/ic_sysbar_volume.png

It's the same dimensions and should be ready to go, but I can't figure out how to properly repackage the SystemUI.apk. The icon that I just linked to is taken from the Settings menu, resized, and coloredd to match the rest. Not a big deal, but I'd really appreciate if someone could at least make me a tweaked SystemUI.apk with that icon instead.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
YouTube works fine as reported, as long as you unclick the HD button as mentioned. I did gets some weird graphic corruption in the youtube interface before I click a video. But rotating the screen by tilting the tablet seem to clear it up.

NetFlix does not work for me. Just a black screen. I tried setting Video Quality (Netflix website options) to Good or Better. Disabling, Best "which if available can do HD". But none the less. Just a black screen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Chiggins:
Yeah I'll do that, I gotta fix this one problem though because I can't build anything :|
[Kindle Fire Android Development] revxx14:
Thanks, hope you figure that out lol.

Video report: YouTube works without HD, Netflix doesn't work, TWiT works. Interesting, but at least 1/2 the video is working lol. Great work JackpotClavin :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Qloud Media Player also does not work. It's a app similar to Plex. So I am guessing Plex will also not work. Just a black screen (with audio).

Qloud/Plex are media players that use a server on your pc to transcode media on the fly to your device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] That Baker Guy:
Flashed up and running touch screen is better YouTube works no netflix sadly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
been hanging on black screen for about 5 mins after reboot i flashed new rom and gapps then rebooted

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

sorted just reflashed rom and gapps again.

(it allways makes your ass twitch when these things happen)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
The touch screen is definitely more responsive, and as others have reported Youtube in SD works for me. This is truly a herculean feat. :D

Also, assuming 3 hours is long enough for the device to fall into deep sleep for the previous SOD issue, the 1/19 build was fine once I set my CPU to 600MHz.

So when I look at the Cyanogenmod stats page, is this device an otter or a blaze? The build says otter, but the CM7 builds all say the device is a blaze.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] biglama:
Any fix or work around for screen taps registering as a flick/drag? I'm using apex launcher and have Widgets that I want to resize and move that are 'stuck' because long pressing always moves work space to the right.

The screen does feel more responsive on the newest update and I had this issue on the previous release (Jan. 19), if its not already in the bug tracker let me know to add it.

Overall I am very impressed with the progress, a million thanks and a donation on the way.

Edit: The default launcher does not exhibit this issue, seems to be application related. DEVS please disregard.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imnotamorningguy:
Just flashed this, living it. Confirmation on no Netflix, hulu works just fine though :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DesDr0id:
First off, a HUGE THANKS to Jackpot and all the other devs working on this. I just gave this ROM a shot after hearing video and sound were for the most part, working. Amazing work!!

I've gone back and re-flashed back to CM7 however :)

There is no USB mounting in this latest version, which in my case was a deal-breaker, I'm sure it will eventually get addressed.

I would also like to point out that the development of the ICS port for the NOOK COLOR is quite far along, (they have USB mounting amongst other things), which I suspect that code (at least portions of it) would be re-usable for adding such functionality or simply for a comparison of how things are implemented from the coding perspective.

I got stuck at the touch the Android screen, as soon as I touch it, it says unfortunately setup wizard has stopped. Gonna try and reflash but curious if anybody else had this

That is what I am talking about yes. To me it seems like way large. I liked its size in CM7. Which was like half the size of this.

Seems like this size is more of a 10" thing.

Is it possible to change Trebuchet grid size? These be some massive icons.

First of all great job with the rom so far! I'm loving it!

As for bugs though, I've notice that the cpu clock is even more persistently at 1ghz than in the previous build, which occasionally dropped to 300mhz. In both cases though, cpu spy shows that the device does not go into deep sleep whatsoever. To the devs, is this an issue related to the kernel?

Thanks for all you guys do! :D

Sound and video working

Ive used this as my daily ROM since it was available and it keeps getting better and better!

I always do a factory reset, wipe cache etc, and havent had any issues with apps not working such as calendar etc.

The latest sound.zip build has fixed the issue I was having (not sure if its just me) of the sound jumping back up when typing, even if you turn off touch clicks and mute sound. I have noticed that when you type, the first letter of each word doesnt click but the rest do, not sure if its relevant just wanted to report it. Something to do with the touch settings?

I struggled getting the apex launcher to work before this rom, I tried ADB pushing it and also various root explorers but they all failed, even after setting permissions properly. For the latest ROM, I just open the trebuchet.zip and put it in there, it said trebuchet had been installed but it was actually apex. I suppose I ought to learn how to package apks - but the hours in a day are limited!

I saw some people were using wifi explorer pro - does that allow root access and can you see the whole of the kindle or just the sdcard?

apps - Ive seen some folk have google maps working - do I just side load it, or is there something more to it? It doesnt show in the market (think it needs dual core?)

Anyway, a long post I know, didnt want to add lots of posts that just clog the timeline so I thought Id put everything in one go!

Thanks to the devs, amazing work, we all love ya!

Yeah, it definitely sleeps when it's not charging. Even with setting the CPU to a minimum of 600MHz, it still got the SoD this morning. At least it doesn't drain the battery when that happens, and it seems to take a few hours to make it happen.
