The AltROM is for dual-booting your KF. You first need to partition it and format both partitions. Then you install a regular ROM to first partition (just a regular flash), then flash an AltROM (using a standard flash method from TWRP) and it installs in the 2nd partition. There's a FireFireFire Extended thread in the Dev's stickies outlining the dual-boot setup.

This is so you can run both ICS and 6.3.1

I'm running AOKP-Otter-B38 (ICS) on my main and this MoDaCo 6.3.1 on my alt. I find myself using this more than the ICS, though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
So when you boot up is there like a screen that lets you pick the rom you want to boot into?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fsfang2:
Paul network location worked for me on the first Gr9 Rom. Roi need to reflash?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] barrmulio:
Yes.. Using the power button to select

Check the firefirefire extended thread for more
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Not if you don't want to! :-)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
That sounds interesting and I may look into it. Thanks for the tip! :cool:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
Thx for the response and awesome work!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
You're welcome!

I'm pretty happy with the device at near stock, but if there's any requests for this ROM give me a shout.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] siera_lion:
I am wondering how much space will I have left after dualboot?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gbarayah:
I think that would depend on the ROM you select to dual boot alongside Modaco as ROMs can vary in size.

Anyone else getting a 404 error when following either download link? Is there a mirror somewhere (if allowed)? Interested in giving this ROM a try.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Apologies, links fixed!

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] siera_lion:
Well I want dualboot ICS Gederom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
I'm with you on that. I digg the stock w/added tweaks and am satisfied with how it runs. Besides I got my ICS fix with my infuse 4G running cm9. :D

Thanks again brother for taking your time to making an already awesome device even better, imho. :cool:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Download mirrors added.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fsfang2:
Paul thanks again for the update! Working beautifully.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Downloading now but your new download is taking forever to download

I liked your old download host better but it will be worth it for working network location

Ill just flash over gr9 and reboot when it finishes downloading

if you find something I posted helpful please thank me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
I'm working on a better file host.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
@paul: Do you build the kernel with TUN module enabled? I need that to get Cisco VPN

working. Since my build environment is dismantled, if I need to build the kernel by enabling TUN, I will have to setup the build environment (just too lazy atm)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Stock kernel!

I can probably do a custom kernel if there's an appetite for it mind...

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gunshipmlr00:
I know I have a hankering for a custom kernel.

EDIT: I'm also having root issues. Reflashed and tried to use the kf utility both to no avail. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hijax2001:
Books not showing up on Cloud or Device within the OS. I verified that I am logged in to Amazon on the device...I am registered and the Amazon Kindle app works. Books also worked fine for me with the previous MoDaCo release. Ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Working here.

Check the Play store hasn't installed a Kindle app update!

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sawalke4:
when i try to install, it says error installing MD5 not found

*Md5 corrupted on DL.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Which version? Re downloaded to check?

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yamaford:
I cant seem to get a download. seems both links are "FULL"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Prime streaming should still work when you disable root.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] markcyst:
Go into Play Market, find the Kindle app, and uninstall it. That will leave you with the stock Kindle app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gunshipmlr00:
Anyone have any idea why I don't have a proper root?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] markcyst:
You had root on this rom before, flashed the new update, and now you don't have root? Just to be clear..

Also, is the superuser.apk on your Fire? Had you used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper before?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gunshipmlr00:
It was a major pain in the butt but I got my root back by doing a system wipe and factory reset. Thank you though for replying. You get a very nice Thanks from me :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] -FuRBz-:
Play store doesn't work for me.. Keeps saying it has stopped unexpectedly
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Strange. Wipe then reinstall is the best option!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] quarky42:
I am liking this this ROM so far. It would be nice if it sync'd Google contacts though.

Third post here: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1352546.html

Can this be included in the ROM in the future, please?

Edit: Same thing goes for the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk too please as well as the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk?

Edit2: It still doesn't work even after adding back the Calendar and Contacts Sync. I wonder what else is missing that is required to sync these two Google items.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brandon_L:
To get the calendar sync to work, move the GoogleCalanderSyncAdapter.apk to the /system/app folder and change the permissions to match the other apks. Then press the apk and install it. Next reboot. This should work, it did for me.

To get the contacts to sync, I set up the native Kindle email app for my gmail account. This allowed the gmail app to retrieve contacts.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] quarky42:
This did not work for me at all. I did put the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk in there, changed permissions, pressed the APK and the install failed. I'm sure it was probably the wrong version of the sync adapter or something.

So, I used the Kinde Fire Utility and went into the Extras menu and installed the Google Apps / Go Launcher. I already had Go Launcher so I had to immediately update it back to the latest version, however that fixed it.

I now have contacts, photos, calendar and more in my Account Sync listing where before I was missing all of those.

Edit: Thank you kindly for trying to help me though. I just wish there was a more "foolproof" method of getting this to work for those that don't want to install the Go Launcher.

It looks like the KFU installed:

Google Calendar Sync 2.3.7

Google Contacts Sync 2.3.7

Google Services Framework 2.3.7

Account and Sync Settings 2.3.4

and Google+
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
I can probably add this as a kitchen option, not sure everyone wants this by default though?

I'm investigating an issue with the superuser binary being renamed erroneously, fix upcoming.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vertig:
I would like to have the contact sync, I've just been too lazy to figure it out yet. :P

Changelog

Updated kitchen and prebakes to fix issue with superuser binary and Market Launcher.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ProfEngr:
Play store launcher is MIA, but it shows up in the running apps list.

Latest altrom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
You didn't wipe after install did you?

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ProfEngr:
Can't remember. Was a bit stoked that my first uboot compile & dualboot worked. Should I reflash?

Edit: yep, that fixed it. Got OTA rootkeeper installed to take advantage of 1st month prime. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rachelm920:
I didn't have the play store on mine after installing either, but I was coming from CM9 so I needed to do a full wipe. I just reinstalled it from the Kindle Fire Utility. I also got OTA rootkeeper to use the video :-)

IDK if I really liked how the menu was constantly on the top of ICS, I am so used to it being on the bottom. My Amaze has ICS (and sense) and it is on the bottom... This also frustrated my 5 year old, as she couldn't find the menu to play her games LOL
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Hmmm, wonder why the Play Store icon isn't appearing, will investigate.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
I just flashed the prebake after a wipe (do NOT install ROM then wipe) and the Play Store launcher is appearing OK...?

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ProfEngr:
I think mine was due to post flash wipe, but that should only have been cache/dalvik.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] technut:
I did a search through the thread for an answer but I just can't find one.I had done a full wipe before installing the ROM (thanks Paul) and my kindle is still showing up as a kindle on google play(not a galaxy tab) then I wiped the cache and data in google play and re-loaded the rom thinking I must of done something wrong but then I checked the buildprop and I don't see any of the galaxy tab settings in there?I even unzipped the rom on my pc and looked at the buildprop from there and it dosen't have the galaxy tab settings either? I have seen another thread somewhere where there are like 5 different lines or so to change to do it manually for a cm7-9 rom.What am I missin here guys? Did this buildprop edit get nixxed somewhere along the way with the MoDaCo rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Ah yes, I forgot to add this in the latest release, I'll put it back in! :)

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
I added the Galaxy Tab masquerade as a kitchen option. This will be included next time I refresh the prebakes.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] technut:
Awsome Paul thanks for the reply.I'll reflash whenever I see the OP updated.Thanks for all your hard work.I dunno when you devs get any sleep but thank you,thank you,thank you!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Froid:
Good stuff. :thumbup:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
How would I be able to get access of the build.prop from the kitchen option, or would you be able to pm me the actual build.prop? Thx in advance for your help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dltccf:
Anyone else finding that the kindle app wont open from the go launcher but will from the standard kindle launcher? It upgraded then after uninstalling the update it would no longer launch on gr8. I updated to gr 9.2 but it didn't fix it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
I have the same issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
It ok to flash from gr9 to gr9.2 with just wiping cache and dalvik cache

if you find something I posted helpful please thank me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
I had the same issue with go launcher with unrooted stock

if you find something I posted helpful please thank me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] feistygoat10:
It has nothing to do with the Rom. It is because of the design of the kindle app, selecting the book from the launcher screen, if you want it to work from go launcher you need to install the update from the play store. However then it will not work on the stock launcher.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jamisonhalliwell:
I want to thank you for this ROM. This was SO EASY to install and it'd exactly what I wanted.

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
Or should I wipe more stuff like system

if you find something I posted helpful please thank me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] markcyst:
As per the directions in the original post, wiping isn't required
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigfoottrucker:
This is am awesome Rom. I changed the dpi to 120 and looks good. I have apps that went from normal to tablet Gui doing this. The keyboard got smaller though. Any way to fix this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigfoottrucker:
Wow. Do I need the KFU to get to recovery?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] geekoo:
Can I install any OC kernel on this ROM? I have this ROM and I am loving it (have tried many in the past, but kept coming back to this), but things are getting very laggy nowadays.

An OC kernel would definitely help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
Here you go. It's an OC kernel created by intersectraven and it OC at 1.2Ghz. Flash in recovery. Make sure to clear cache and davlik cache prior to flashing.

battery issues?

Is anyone having battery issues with the last 2 updates or is it just me? I never shut off the kindle and battery would always last a few days, but since getting on the modaco 9+ something is going on and ill pick my kindle up like 5 or 6 hours after and it will be completely dead. The only thing I can think of that could be doing it is the wifi staying on all the time, has something changed in that area of the rom?

Thanks for any input.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JimCo06:
I am having the same problem since upgrading to Gr9. My battery was at 79% when I went to bed and the next morning it was at 14%. I have been frequently looking to see which apps are running thinking that maybe I had installed an app that was causing it but that doesn't appear to be the case. I have been thinking about going back to Gr8 to see if the problem goes away. Hate to say it but glad I am not the only one having the problem.

I have noticed that certain apps like Google Maps are showing up twice in the list of running apps. Don't know if it is relavent but I have never seen that before.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gamy2121:
Yeah I think I may go back to 8 myself, everything was working fine for me with that.

Another question, Is there any fix to having the pulse app updated and the icon still showing up? I always have to delete the updates for the icon to show up instead of a blank grey box.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jman805:
I would like to request the 3.0 kernel please. This kernel allows my kindle to recognize my keyboard. That's the only reason why I am not still using this ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gamy2121:
Pretty sure that kernel is for the cm9 roms, not the stock roms. But I could be wrong.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
The 3.0 kernel is for the cm9 based ROM's.

As far as stock ROM is concerned, the current kernel that is in the link has some OC/UV capabilities, plus whatever other tweaks intersectraven implemented.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gamy2121:
I put my kindle to sleep last night at around 60 percent, and when I woke up this morning it was at 14 percent. I have no explanation for this. anyone?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
You have installed an app keeping it awake! Use BetterBatteryStats to diagnose...

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gamy2121:
I clicked on wake locks and it has wifi listed for the past hour and a half, thats when I pulled it off the charger and havent even used it. Is the wifi supposed to turn off when you shut the screen off?

I wiped my cache and dav, to see if that helps. Will report back later
[Kindle Fire Android Development] osozraz:
Hi Paul, I see you´ve uploaded a new version of the ROM. What are you referring to with "Fixed an issue with Amazon Video"? Does that mean you´ve fixed the video with root enabled??

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] doooshty:
If you use dolphin hd you can download it to your kindle fire. Only browser that would work.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] ncvikingx97:
How exactly would I install this? It seems to simple.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] minieod:
right, but in that post he says that he is putting it on the back burner

but in the changelog for gr2, he says that he fixed amazon video

i put this on and tried video, still not working :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] B3L13V3:
this is what youre gonna do...install vodoo ota rootkeeper from google market, open, allow root permission, protect root, temp unroot, reboot and presto amazon video working you can actually restore root right after it seems amazon checks for root at boot only.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] doooshty:
No. He said he fixed AN issue with amazon video. If you read the post he altered the amazon video.apk. This has the updated apk in it so if someone wanted to pick up where he left off they could. As of right now, post above this is still the best way.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] motumbo:
I've installed the rom and it works great. Only issue I had was with the book shelves at stock launcher. They appeared empty. I returned to my previous back up and this is Ok now.

Somebody else happened this?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
what you need to do is get the kindle fire utility and you can use that to root your device and install the twrp and once that is installed you move the zip file over to the fire and boot into the twrp (hitting the power button when the yellow triangle is on the screen after you turn it back on) from there you can wipe your device clean and install this rom. i also reccomend you download the ota rootkeeper so you can still enjoy the prime benefits from amazon
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
you have the amazon build.prop. try the tweaked one....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] B3L13V3:
Even with the tweaked build prop I don't see all the apps, and I bought a lot of games for when I got a tablet that I don't see on the market. I even went as far as modifying the build prop to a samsung an and still no go...any suggestions...

question...can we just wipe cache and dalvik and flash over or do we have to start clean?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
If you'r ecoming from stock KF ROMs you can just flash this and wipe cache/dalvik. That's what I'v ebeen doing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DalekCaan:
If I'm not mistaken, the other tweaked build.prop on xda has a wifi sleep element that turns off wifi when the screen is off (or something like that). Does your build.prop tweak have that? If not, does anybody know how I could put that in manually? That tweak has made my 1-2 day standby time turn into at least a week of standby, so I'd love to keep it. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gamy2121:
I am reporting back after a few hours and it seems the cache/dav wipe cleared up the wifi wakelock issue. Should we be wiping those prior to and after flashing a ROM? I only usually do it before.

Why? Certainly possible

[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
I'm also interested in dual-booting my KF, but I have a couple of questions for you real quick. What kernel is your KF running in order for the dual boot of JB and Modaco GR9.1 to work? As far as partitioning went, how much space were you left with after repartitioning your SD? Thanks in advance for your help! :cool:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
So the JB Rom runs with the stock kernel? The reason I ask is cos kernel reworked the KF kernel to 3.0 so as to get hw acceleration to work properly on all the ICS ROMs. Do you have a detailed set of instructions you employed to get things flashed correctly that you can share? Thx in advance for your help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Jellybean uses the 3.0 kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Idk about Modaco since it is a gingerbread rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
That's what I wanna clear up. Modaco runs on the gingerbread kernel which is 2.xxx and ICS & JB both run on 3.0 kernel, so do I need to install two separate kernels or will both stock modaco and JB work on 3.0?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ProfEngr:
In the dual boot setup, the kernels have their own spaces just like the roms. Each has to be compiled/written to install to the appropriate space; normal or alternate.

Sent from my Thunderbolt using one opposable thumb.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JimCo06:
The ROMs include the necessary kernels so there is no need to flash kernels separately.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
Oh, they won't run off the same kernel. The Modaco rom will run off the 2.X kernel and the ICS/JB rom will run off the 3.0 kernel. You'll have 2 kernels I believe.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
Would you be able to point me in the right direction as to a step for step guide for dualboot installation? Thx in advance for the help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
Thx! Gonna need to read up a little to make sure I understand before pulling the trigger. :confused:
