Yes it has great battery life. I think I will try cm7 again this week but it wasn't nearly as good last time I tried it. Not sure why the download takes so but I got it before the "incident"...

Any word of future work? Its been quiet in this thread..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SethNkC:
Download link not working? Can't seem to get it to download. :-(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tinkererx:
The thread has been slow to update because XDA temporarily banned the OP so he has been posting updates on his own site. Google "MoDaCo Kindle Fire" to find his site and the updated download links.

Although it feels like Paul has been banned for a while now and it may soon expire. At that time, I'm sure this thread will get more lively.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] geekoo:
I am getting extremely tempted to try this ROM out. I have one question though. Will the device work as a "Kindle Device" with this ROM? Or will it be just another tab and I have to use the Kindle app?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Radon_22:
Yep, it's 100% "Kindle device" with market and a heck of a lot of tweaks that result in a smoother running device. Apart from the addition of Market and root, everything looks and feels stock.

If you want to be able to run almost any app you want but want to keep the Kindle Fire experience, this is by far the easiest way to get there, since Paul has done most of the work for you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fox_dye:
Ive tried the ad hoc switcher and I cant get it to work. Anyone have any suggestions. Maybe a different app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] geekoo:
Quite a brilliant ROM. Really does offer the best of both worlds. Needs a single IMEI hack and then you are done. :)

Even the Quadrant and AnTuTu are not too far away from the CM ROMs. In fact graphics is better on MoDaCo than CM7. CM7 gets better scores purely on the basis of OC kernels.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Radon_22:
I'm using the "ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher" and it works fine. If you need to sideload it, you can find it here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fox_dye:
thats the one i tried and i ran through all the settings on my phone and the zt app and i couldn't get it to work. which version of wifi tehter are you using or are you using another app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bigboij:
question im on 6.2.1 on my stock kindle backup and running cm7 as my daily so never went to 6.2.2.

do i need to go back to stock an have it update to 6.2.2 to try this?

can i go straight from cm7 to this?

or is this just like any other rom and i just flash and go?

ty
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fox_dye:
I flashed it over ics and it installed fine
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bigboij:
trying gr6 out from modaco's site it's faster than cm7, now just getting used to the limited options of stock kindle but adw gives me most of the feel of the Android I know.

not sure if im reading your post right but your having an issue tethering wirelessly from another device?

i just tested using wifi tether from my droid x (using open garden for the wifi tether app) and it connected up just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Lockdo6307:
So I flashed this now I'm getting a boot to recovery everytine I power on

Restoring right now hoping this will fix my problem

Well restoring a backup didn't work It was running fine last night now thismorning powered it on and all it does is boot to recovery not sure what happened I wiped when I was supposed to not sure what to do next at work hoping there is aquick fix
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raiderep:
Maybe try powering down from recovery and then power on. I always do that but others have reported reboot from recovery causing issues.

I cab get into recovery will a factory reset work at this point I want to use this today I am at work and don't have adb on my work CPU and can't set it up. Will that get me back to stock idc about root ill do that when I am home if not ill wait till I get home. Also where are we supposed to install this rom I installed it in twrecovery was I not supposed to I heard were supposted to install to bootmanager
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raiderep:
I only use TWRP recovery and have never had this happen. I think the reason it happens is you rebooted from recovery and didn't power down and boot up. I am pretty sure this is a bug with all recoveries unless its been fixed already. If you can mount sdcard in recovery you might try a complete wipe and find a stock rom and flash it after you stick it on the sdcard. Not sure if this will work though, I think it is a bootloader problem and you might just have to wait until you can adb into the system.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Lockdo6307:
So my mistake was not powering of before I booted I guess ill never make that mistake again
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Blue Lou:
Kindle Fire now appears on Android Market :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raiderep:
I may have that wrong but better safe than sorry. I read a bit more and it seems the problem is using reboot to recovery from inside android. If your previous rom had that ability that was it.

I cannot manage to download any apps from the amazon app store and my previously purchased items do not sync from the cloud. Any fix for this??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MadJoe:
Try clearing you're Dalvik cache and rebooting, if that doesn't work, navigate to system/app and find Venezia, or venzia our whatever the hell Amazon calls their app store and and try clicking it to reinstall it (don't forget to set it the directory to rw before clicking). You might have to deregister and reregister your Fire if those fail.

Damn you Swype!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] term117:
I wiped everything including sd card and then tried to install Gr6. I just boot-loop into recovery and get this error when installing e:cannot load volume /mis

Do I need to install Gr5 first?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
the error is normal - the kf don't have a volume misc

maybe you had cm7 before and said boot to recovery

to get out use kfu option 1 - bootmode normal

or manually:

adb shell idme bootmode 4000

adb reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] term117:
Yes I had cm7 installed before. Ohh Findle fire utility gotcha... thank you good sir!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
see above !

if you have kfu (kindle fire utility) then start it and select

- option 1

- option 1 (bootmode normal)

if you don't have open a command prompt and cd to the directory where adb.exe is located - now issue:

"adb shell idme bootmode 4000" and enter

"adb reboot" and enter

edit: fine - you got it !!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] term117:
Update!

I did that and now the kindle fire screen pops up for a second and then it goes to recovery?

Im reinstalling it now to see if that fixes it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
if it don't work:

you could try to install one of the prerooted stock roms first

as far as i know modaco don't format the partitions, prerooted stock does
[Kindle Fire Android Development] term117:
I dont know what I did, but now I cant mount the SD to transfer the stock rom to flash :(. Im in recovery but my pc wont see the kindle SD card.

Kindle Fire Unbrick 1.1

device not found

error: Failed to load sdcard/update.zip
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
did you try to tap mount and mount the sdcard ?

if this don't work:

- open shell -> "adb shell"

- issue "echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file"

- some guys needed to do ">>" instead of ">" in the above command

- now the sdcard should mount to the computer

- windows will probably respond that the volume/device needs formatted before using it

- choose quick format and let it format it as fat32 block size 4096

Is there any way to add mutiple market accounts on this ROM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foolie:
Yes, download another google app like gmail and sign in to it with your other market account. then u can remove it if you want and market will still keep the 2nd account info.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] enkode:
Yeah that didn't work for me... is there anything else I should try before swapping Roms??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] term117:
When I click on mount it only lets me click on mount system. none of the other boxes will check. Aslo I cant get adb to see my device. Going to mess with it more later tonight.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I'm going to be rooting my mother-in-laws Kindle soon, and I can't for the life of me remember if when I flashed this ROM on my personal Kindle if I did a full wipe or just caches.

Can anyone clarify that, please? I know this ROM is so closely built to stock, and I don't remember wiping mine before, but I don't want to screw her Kindle up lol.

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jmcoffey:
When in doubt, Factory Wipe. Couldn't hurt anything. Ya know?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Except wiping all of everything she has on it :p

Don't think that would go over well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jmcoffey:
Everything should be stored on the internal sd and the cloud.

Full wipe not neaded...just wipe the caches and you'll be fine.

Just to confirm, when I "shut down" the Kindle Fire and start up it again, am I supposed to see the yellow triangle?

Can't wait! We have 4 KFs and they all run this ROM. Haven't seen any issues other than wifi has an x in it for about 8 minutes after flashing, and its connected. After that its smooth sailing!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
I also get the x sign right below the wi-fi signal all the time but the wi-fi connection is stable and steady. Also the Pulse icon in KF is grayed out.

This rom sometimes appeared sudden hang and I have to do a force reboot. Also, the battery is draining!

Those pesky batteries. When will they learn to not release a charge??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] beatblaster:
What is it with all of these weird problems some of you are experiencing? I'm not experiencing anything of the sort. No "wi-fi X for 8 minutes", no grayed out Pulse icon, no "sudden hangs", no abnormal battery drain - nothing. This ROM is perfect (to me).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I might have had a bad download. This ROM is the opposite of what your explaining.

I had the best battery life of any ROM with this one and never had any sort of reboots or lock-ups.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kwaalude:
yeah i have the same problem with the battery. it seems as if it doesn't put itself to sleep after inactivity. for instance, if i put it on the bedside table when going to bed, when i wake up in the morning the battery will be completely drained.

other than that, the ROM is the jam!

would like a fix though :) ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
That's odd. As I said above, I had the best battery of any rom with this one.

I literally left mine (screen off) 6 days sitting and the battery was still at like 30% (it doesn't show % on this rom but based on the bar and it not being red it was around 20-30%).

I was amazed with the stability of this rom.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Status Flow:
WOW. Why haven't I known about this rom up until this point? I rooted my kindle Fire when I got it a week ago and installed CM9 but ended up going back to stock since it had the better book management and I liked it better for its stabiliy.

Is there any chance that this fixes the Wifi-Sleep problem on the KF?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Unlikely as there's no significant underlying changes. Which issue are you referring to?

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Status Flow:
The issue where when you lock the Kindle (put it to sleep), wifi turns off until you turn the kindle back on.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
The default WiFi behaviour on Gr7 (like stock) is to turn off wifi when you turn the screen off.

I just installed Spare Parts Plus from the Play Store (free) and set the WiFi sleep policy to 'Always On' and it seems to be working?

To be sure i've rebooted, turned the screen off and i'm not running a continuous ping to the WiFi IP address, but so far, it's still there. I'll give it another 10-15 mins to be sure. :D

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
OK, >20 mins later and it's still responding to pings so it looks like that works as desired!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
I am also having the same issue, however I respect users like beatblaster, who does not have such issues, using CM7. I leave it to Paul, who acknowledged and stated that GR7 has the fixed the Pulse Icon issue. It is only grayed out but allows to open.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Yes it does. This morning using zt-180 adhoc switcher on the kf, I was able to connect to my laptop and grab internet connection. I had opened Google Maps and was able to see "My Location" while driving and listen to Pandora.

Nothing to do with this ROM, my Hotspot connection from my IPhone using PDANet, disconnects for reasons unknown, even though I have Wi-Fi keeper in KF to keep alive.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
I use wifi tether, on cm7 it connects no issue, but on this one it never shows up in available networks.

How to Temporary Unroot Kindle Fire

Step 1: Install OTA RootKeeper from Android Market

Step 2: Tap “Temp. un-root (keeps backup)”. This will temporarily unroot your device and saves a protected copy of su

Step 3: Go to More > Settings > Applications > Amazon Instant Video > Force Stop to kill the Amazon Instant Video app

Step 4: Restart Amazon Instant Video and now your “Watch Now” button should play your video when you tap it

I was able to download Asphalt 5 with no issues...

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lordsofletterbox:
Most of the Gameloft games are coming to the Amazon Appstore at a rapid pace with Kindle Fire Editions. I can confirm that due to not having the ability to alter the build.prop file that there are a few not available in the Google Play Store..ie 9mm, Modern Combat 3, and a couple more. The apps show up but you get an error from Gameloft to request refund device is not supported.

Will ROM Manager work with this ROM

I have ROM Mgr premium but all of the functions (backup, etc) require you to install the recovery. I have DoomLord's 5.0.2.7 Full recovery but the option via ROM Mgr lists "Full Android on Blaze or SDP" and I'm not sure what would happen if I selected that.

select it. it says unsupported and than asks if you installed a custom version, choose 3.x and all the backup install restore options will all work.

This is a weird quirk. Basically, the version of Pulse in the stock ROM is old. If however you update it to the new version either manually or via the Android Market, the icon goes gray!

With this in mind, i've included the old version in the ROM, to get the icon back you'll have to 'uninstall updates' and use an old version. A bit annoying!
