No worries. This KF I'm setting up for use in the car. Really dig on the size for GPS Nav use and mobile surfing. I'm messing around with TetherGPS app and using my phone as the GPS source. Surprising the whole set up works really well with home-brewed stand on the dash. Only thing that would be killer is bluetooth, that way I could run Torque on the KF. I am getting some random FCs with TetherGPS, will mess around with that some more.

I have a 2nd KF that I'm using daily around work and home, that one needs work email via ActiceSync for sure. I really like the ICS UI over stock and CM7. I do tend towards MIUI as I use that on my phone a lot mostly for the toggles and settings layout. I don't run their launcher or iOS clone layout at all.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] theholyfork:
So I'm not sure about the other ICS rom, but I have full market access with this one! :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bodypilot:
Nice work - thank you so much!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hasher76:
i cant get usb to work with the included switcher, and after install, TB worked for about 15 of my apps automatically, now I cant get it to run, it just hangs and doesnt allow me to install.

other than that, it looks really good, great start to ICS on the kindle. Looking forward to anything else that gets added to this. Keep it up guys.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
I have no problem with this. Also: I didn't do any work on the other rom, I just created the topic to help people solve problems.

No offense. I'm sorry if you got that wrong. :) Keep doing your work, a lot of people like themes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
Honestly when you step in and say KANG and basically F-You its hard not to take it the wrong way. Over the years I've worked WITH the other developers not against them. I've done ROMs with some of the top developers here on XDA (fresh, Team MikMik, Team XRON, Team Tiamat) and been very fortunate that they have allowed me to "do my thing" with there hard work. I've never claimed to be something I'm not and I have never intended on stealing someone else s work with out due credit. I have always asked for permission to use others work. ROMs take a team to get the job done. Thats why we have Team Eos, Team MikMik, Team XRON and so on. Its too much for a single person who has a life or family.

So with that said I propose we put it all behind us and do what we do for the community. No hard feelings here and I hope you can feel the same.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
I shouldn't have said it that way I think. All I wanted to say is just that I am tired of all those roms that just add a different theme and some "optimizations".

Your work could have been done as a patch for the original rom, which would be easier for both parts. The way you do it now you have to rebase your rom every time the original rom gets updated, I think that's quite a pita to do it.

I didn't want to piss you off, just post my opinion on all those modified roms.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] im.nick.hello:
i just rooted and flashed this on my friends kindle and it runs like butter with nova launcher.

great job guys! can't wait until there is sound
[Kindle Fire Android Development] L1near:
Guys, I just want to say keep up the good work. IMO any work done on ICS for the KF is valuable and is good progress, and is appreciated by myself (and my sure by many others).

That being said, I still feel like a few of the bugs are stopping this from being a daily driver (at least for me). I use gtalk a lot, and the sound CPU 100%/battery drain sort of kill it for me. But I can't wait until these bugs are worked out and I can use this as my main ROM because it looks awesome!

Honestly, if anyone figures out how to fix these bugs, even if it's a one character change someone stumbles across in the code, and that's their only contribution to the ROM, I still feel like that would be worthy of a donation.

Just my $0.02
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
Well here is the thing:

If I'm going to change something in every single apk (which I do) then I might as well include the guts of the system as well. Once the ROM is done I generally only have to update apks that have changed. Plus when I build the entire system I know it works. Themes run into issues because they don't always work on every ROM. That creates way to much trouble shooting. I also tend to PNG Optimize the files which again affects every single apk. So thats why I do it this way.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bl1nkk:
I see. :) Good job
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
So I have a png optimized with some modified icons any one got some free time.?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yumcax:
That is all fine and true, and I don't think you need to add anything to the title, but it would be helpful if you threw a few sentences in the OP explaining what this is, more clearly. I know that I saw your thread working/not working list and assumed that you had come in and fixed many of the problems that people are having with the other ICS build. Your additions are great and appreciated, just make sure that everyone understands what they are. Also, the reason this isn't a problem for other devices is because generally there is a _stable_ alternative, so people don't assume that you have fixed existing problems.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
I flashed this ROM with minimal issues and it looks great and is running very smooth. I like the theme too.

I'm going to start restoring apps from TB and see how it goes.

Great work zone!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] duquesa:
I thought I´d give this rom a go but after installing I cant get the wifi to enable?

Not sure if this is just me but wifi works fine with the other ice cream sandwich rom.

Looks good so it would be nice to try it out properly :confused:

Please ignore the above, after a full wipe and restore the rom flashed and wifi now works
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
WiFi is working fine for me. I would not consider putting something out without at least WiFi that would be totally useless.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Spectredroid:
Something weird.

Hey zone, or anyone else. Has anybody had trouble trying to log into the amazon app store. It won't recognize my login and password. Just a weird thing I noticed, wondered if anyone else was having this problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
You have logged into amazon too many times. You need to go into your account online and delete all the devices (except ones your using).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
goto amazon.com

your account

apps and devices

then your devices.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zedomax:
nice rom!

Nice ROM, I am looking forward to future versions with audio/video working!

Here's a video preview for people wondering about this ROM:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
It's liked when your were tapping that angry bird icon and nothing was happening.. LOL

Preview is good terminology.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
This looked good, was hoping there would be an update with video/sound fixes soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] That Baker Guy:
i love the rom man, its great, am i missing something though, my screen wont rotate correctly, i may have missed it, just checking.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slayp00n:
Hi just flashed this from cm7 and it keeps booting into recovery?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] slippers67:
Let me guess...you chose "reboot to recovery" from the power down menu in cm7 before flashing this rom? You're stuck in fastboot mode. This is a known issue with cm7. You need to turn off fastboot. Do a search for the exact command.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
Is this still being worked on?

Seems like this had a lot of updates last part of December and then nothing really for a couple weeks, is it still being looked at or did it die on the vine?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
Well three things really. One was I took a lot of heat about this whole post which bothered me some. Next I have been working on my other two devices. And lastly there is the possibility that some PROs are working on a new Kindle ROM.

The graphics I created for the Xoom ICS will go into this ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
From what I can see this looks like the best one out there at the moment... It sure looks a lot more functional than the stock crap that Amazon is putting on these by default.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
Hmm

Tried to flash tonight, it keeps showing android animated loading logo but nothing else..

Tried changing the boot to 4000,

Put on CM7, it works - Tried this one again and getting the same result... It just sits on the android screen forever.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sneef:
Hey zone, thanks for this particular post. I'm truly sorry to hear that you took heat over this thread. I know I'm just one guy, and not well-known on xda-dev, but I want to personally thank you for this ROM and your hard work.

The people who had a problem with this thread are just being silly, petty, and until I see them contribute a body of work such as this ROM, I can't take their criticism seriously at all. Its easy to stand on the sidelines making negative comments that presumably serve to raise your own credibility or community recognition, or maybe make you feel like you're part of the dev community; its another thing entirely to have actually done something substantial, and then offer some type of guidance or constructive criticism from that perspective. I am pretty sure most, if not all, of the negative comments came from the former category.

On topic: is there anything in the latest ICS pre-alpha (released Jan 11) which would be a reason to flash, if I'm already using your latest zone23 build? I've seen the changelog but didn't know if there was something important that i wasn't aware of.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Any way to get USB mass storage working without going to TRWP?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
Man I must be retarded

Something is funky with my kindle fire,

Did the burrito root to begin with, that worked pretty well, but after that things kind of fell apart..

I tried to get TWRP, not too surprisingly it wasn't showing up on stock amazon market. I tried to install the google market, which 'worked' but it crashed and couldn't log into android account.

I then tried to flash this rom, which just shows an android logo forever, I left it going for a half hour and it still wouldn't do anything,

So then I tried CM7, which 'works' but still seems to have issues with google market running and has no good way to lock the kid out of it from making purchases.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it's almost acting like amazon put something on there that screws with the android market and it is persisting even after flashes. :confused::confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
Did you wipe /data, /dalvik, /cache before installing CM7? After CM7, did you install the latest gapp?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
Yeah, in fact I wiped everything after flashing back and forth a few times, when I tried to install gapp.apk it is failing on a lot of the items due to missing folders/tools...

Pretty much wiped and flashed and cleared everything I can think of, wondering if maybe this particular ROM was corrupted but that wouldn't explain why market won't work on stock kindle or CM7 either. Browser works fine on both, I can pull web pages just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
did you try this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1423184
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
No, I suppose I could... Wish the various tools and procedures weren't so fragmented and were listed in an easy to follow way start to finish... Every one of them does part of a task and seems wholly dependant on another tool or specific driver but that isn't mentioned or linked and some are not compatible.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jwilliamf:
I know!! I did it and never used Titanium Backup and terminal. All I used was Root Explorer. That is all you need and the files he mentions. It is easier than you think.

you do not have to freeze anything. just rename it by putting ".bak" at the end of the file.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
Well that is what is so annoying,

It looks easy, I flashed my Vibrant a good dozen times if not more, but the process for this seems pretty fragmented and either some of the tools I have found simply do not work or there is something about the Kindle Fire I have that is different than the rest (which seems unlikely).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] davinci27:
Sorry about any flaming you took. i hope you find some time to work on this image. I've been watching and waiting for sound to be working. Soon as there's sound I'll flash it over I'm sure.

Thanks, I really need to tether to my phone...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
i downloaded this rom and tried to flash it with the twrp recovery and i got stuck at the android logo. i booted back into recovery and flashed one of the nice modded stock roms on here for now but id love to try the ics you got here.

im thinking i missed a wipe or something (i just need to wipe cache and dalvik? or do i need to do the system and sd too?) , i dont need to change into fastboot or anything do i?

wish we had a rom manager for the fire, that would be great!

p.s. sorry ive been bugging ya guys on here with the questions, still new to the fire. i miss the good ol dash days, i should have never took a break from xda.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FlyRyan:
Wipe System, Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik

Then install.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tonebone:
I've been working on it and switched from barnacle to this: WiFi Tether

It works great now with my Fire tethered to my SII.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Use the WiFi Tether app and make sure you select the Razr profile and also check the box to routing fix.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
That is the guide I started on, which messed me up...

The rooting wasn't a problem, but after that the market wouldn't connect, so then I found a link to try to load TWRP via reboot image instead... Which kind of worked except it got stuck on fastboot - yellow triangle.

Then I tried the unbrick utility, the KFU utility, and while I can flash things it seems like I just get stuck on the android loading screen for this ROM... I didn't try the factory reset mentioned above, does that happen after the flash or before?

(edit, I did the other wipes numerous times)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] knightofdespair:
Doh, you said already... Flashed it again after doing this and it worked... Woo!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghoner:
I am really liking this ROM! Great work!

Just to preface, I am not a dev and may be way off the mark. I have skimmed through this thread and don't think this has been touched on yet. With regards to the video and sound issue, it seems to me that it could be a processor timing issue.

The system sounds seem pretty solid but when playing a song through Rhapsody, the counter is very erratic and I get no sound, likewise with video. Could it be that the code that tells the OS how to play the media needs it's timing tweaked a bit.

I am more than willing to throw a fresh ROM on my Fire to test for you, I just don't have the time to set up the dev environment.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Tomassbender:
I have been using my stock kindle for this exact same reason. Just keeping a keen eye on these forums in case a more fool/me-proof method comes along.

Good luck.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SwingBlade:
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm a dreamer. The OP mentions "more BLUE" and the screenshot has the bluetooth icon in the status bar. Is it enabled in this ROM, or is it just there as a default?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Buffet_of_Lies:
Nope. No Bluetooth. It's just there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MayfairDROID:
If you read through the OP post, it says the screenshot is from his Xoom. That is why the BlueTooth is there :(

Just stopping by so you all know I'm still alive. I keep checking XDA hoping someone has made some progress on the sound like the rest of you. It would seem as though this isn't the only ICS device with sound issues. Well thats it..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Which other devices have the sound issues? Afaik there are 5 libraries needed for sound using audio legacy, but they cause a segfault when they're together. I really don't know if there's a way around this. It's how audio legacy works and it requires libaudio, libaudiopolicy, libasound, libaudiomodemgeneric, and alsa.omap4.so. Alsa also requires the files from /system/usr/share/alsa to be put in their respective places

Coming from flashing HTC phones all the time, flashing the kindle fire made me feel like a newbie all over again :rolleyes: it was this rom that got me to plop some pocket change for the kindle fire though, and it doesn't disappoint!

Am I right in saying that there's no stock mail app (not gmail) in this ROM? Was that by choice?

I don't know haven't played with it enough to find out. Yes sound is working.

Video did play when HD was turned off, but then the device locked up and I had to reboot. Other than that so far its been pretty good.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scottricketts:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] zone23:
The ROM was made a couple days again then I found out it took an update so I just got it going today. Thats why the dates are different. Plus I usually test it for a day or two before posting. I did not get a chance to really test this out before posting.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] minieod:
thats what i figured, ill be your guinea pig

anyways so far its up and running well...sound is def confirmed working, no hiccups yet

time to test video

using youtube video works fine....with sound....had to decheck HD though first.... other wise it bootlooped THE VIDEO ONLY, and then said "cannot be played"

ill test with netflix after titanium brings it back

- netflix is giving sound but no video

other note, using IR's kernel works perfect... so far only problem i am having is video, but no reboots, just not playing

edit again: 1 thing i have noticed (stock and IR kernels) is that the device sometimes (most of the time) locks up on unlocking....the LED backlight will come on, but the screen will remain black, after pressing the unlock button....eventually / maybe the lockscreen will appear.... but it seems that i have to hold the button down for a few seconds, then if it "wakes up" the message to turn the device off and cancel/ok appears, then i can press cancel and then unlock
