[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Seidio is alright overpriced and tends to break . They have holsters for there cases. That always is a pain for me to find a good case and holster. I went and bought a trident kraken case and I'm more then happy with it comes with a holster . Get them on eBay cheaper then from trident site.

The case is light and solid. Anyways hope you find something a lot of cases are good.

Most big companies have holsters for the cases they make.
[HTC EVO 3D] cajhaj:
I saw some videos with kraken and it's superb case with best features,like kickstand and belt holster, which is the most I can imagine from a good case. But its really huge, expensive case.. class of otterbox defender rather than midsized case like what I want.. but great case,no doubt.

I really can't make decision which case to buy:(

Is there any midsized case (can be even just silicone if fits tight) which is great in other written aspects and has belt holster option?? Maybe I overlooked something.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Look at the kraken thread I have pics of my case and there is one with a pic of the defender case next to it. Kraken isn't as big as folks think its smaller thinner then otterbox defender . To me its slim prefer it over the defender and seidio also over the others I have used.

EBay u can snag a kraken for 25 bucks on there free ship too.

I don't know of anything else that is worth having to keep your phone protected to the max with anything slimmer that has a good holster .
[HTC EVO 3D] JOSIAH1979:
I have the Case-Mate Tough Case. Love it. Very tight fit. Been dropped a couple times and it is good to go. I even put an Invisible Shield screen cover on it. Fits very well with case. Best combo yet! Even fits perfect in my Seido desk cradle and iGrip car mount kit.

Hi found new rom but its a beta

oc 1.188

V21b

When at home will give more information can only say very stabil and fast
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
​

Hi all!

I've started playing more with my Kindle Fire so i've made a first early MoDaCo Custom ROM for the device.

Flashing is recommended using TWRP, ALWAYS BACK UP BEFORE FLASHING! Wipe is not required.

Features:

Based on the 6.3.1 release

Heavily optimised and compressed to take as little space as possible and perform as fast as possible!

Includes Google Services Framework and Google Play Store, masquerading as Galaxy Tab for maximum app availability

Optional Google Books / Music

Network location support (for Maps etc.)

Rooted with Superuser

Insecure boot image (for 'adb remount' etc.)

init.d support

TweakDeck Twitter client Kindle Fire version (can be uninstalled)

I'll be doing more tweaks as I mess around with the device more together with more kitchen features, so watch this space. :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] treUse:
Ah, I'm starting to love my KF even more now, all these amazing devs starting to pop up on these forums :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] minieod:
will there be a changelog so we can understand what actually is different?

so this is the stock KF rom but optimized? it uses less space and is faster?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Exactly, + Android Market and root.

Yes, there will be changelog when I update.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] osozraz:
Hi Paul, nice to see you´re working on the Fire, I´ve been using your Nexus One roms for a long time and they are great. One question, does flashing this ROM erase FireFireFire and TWRP like the stock one? I supose it does not but just to check, I had a very nasty experience flashing the stock rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
No it does not, it is designed to run alongside firefirefire and TWRP.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lesbox:
Thanks for the dev!

But I do have a quick question about this ROM - does it still support Amazon Video?

I want all the bennies of being rooted with google apps, but want to still be able to take advantage of my amazon prime membership...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
I'll try Amazon Video on mine and let you know.

This is my starting point. :)

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
love the stock ROM. I'll be trying this later for sure.

*/fingercrossed any chance app compatibility is better?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] minieod:
flashed and running...nothing really wowing me yet, but ive not done much with it so far

up and running and a promise of lighterweight and faster is A+

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

as in prime streaming? didnt work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AdamLange:
What are exact optimizations? zipalign? odex? please explain what was optimized in details.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] osozraz:
Hi, just flashed it. I was using CM7 and wiped cache/dalvik/system. But some apps i had installed are still installed and i think this is giving me some problems, the process android.process.media is FC all the time so it´s annoying. What else do i have to wipe to have a clean installation?

Thx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
My own optimisations as on all MCRs, of course zipaligned etc. etc. too.

Not odexed, i'll be adding my 'OdexMe' app in a future release for optional on-demand odex.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Coming from CM you will probably need a full wipe of data as CM is signed with different certificates, which means the system will have a fit with lots of mismatches in the core apps / frameworks!

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] treo750ii:
Good to see another good DEV building for the kindle!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CTTKDKing:
Just curious as to if this will block OTA updates?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
OTAs are effectively blocked by installing TWRP no?

That aside, it will depend on exactly what the OTA does, but it doesn't block the checking mechanism.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] osozraz:
Thanks Paul. I selected Factory Reset from recovery and it looks it´s working ok. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Whiskey103:
Iam going to lock the thread for a while, needs cleaning and more...

edit: oke, cleaned.

Please play nice ;)

Come over to the ICS side Paul :-P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] darock159:
I see that Paul had GR6 up on modaco with a kitchen!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] elmanortega:
gr6 says

e:cannot load volume /misc!

after that i reboot

but i don't see market or any of the good stuff
[Kindle Fire Android Development] krelvinaz:
Before the kitchen stuff, there is a link to download the "package".. The ability to use the kitchen and select what you want in the package requires membership.

The package (without using the kitchen) is on his site downloaded from filefactory.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loughary:
You are correct...originally when I posted that comment he didn't have Gr6 package up yet...it still referenced Gr5...all is well now.

FYI, the Network location support works great in the new Gr6 update very happy with the development couldn't ask for more.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Well look at that, GR6 is there :p

I had manually moved NetworkLocation.apk from my Nexus One to my KF, so hopefully this new flash won't screw anything up and double up the apks (I'll just have to look afterwards).

As for the ROM, no wipe of any kind is required correct?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tinkererx:
That has been true for the others...so probably (it just worked for me), but please back up first.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
That's a given ;)

Thanks for the quick response.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] markmarkr:
Is anyone actually able to download this from filefactory at the moment?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
lolz no -- I really hate filefactory -- frankly, I fail their CAPTCHA's and give up after 10 times. Im basically using a self-modified version of GR2. Just tried to download and nope... all tied up.

Can you imagine paying the rates of every single download site? I reckon you could easily spend $2,000 on all of them per year.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] markmarkr:
Gr6 link just flat out doesn't work for me. Gr5 is still up here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Brumill:
masquerading as Galaxy Tab for maximum app availability

This is sooo awesome - finally most apps could be downloaded via market.

Would be good to have a mirror for gr6 ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sshimomichi:
I've uploaded Gr6 to MediaFire.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Sense this rom now masquerades as a Samsung Galaxy Tab, do the Kindle Fire Edition apps on the Amazon app store work?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
Does anyone have location services working properly in this release?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I had it working with my own file but not with this new release. When I get home I'll test with my own file and if it works I'll post that file.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
I will answer my own question here. Yes, they still work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Scaevola:
Previously, I never managed to get location services properly, but after installing Gr6, it is working perfectly and even more accurately than I anticipated.

For some reason, Gr6 removes Google Maps first but you can reinstall it without any issues.

I tested location services with Google Maps, Foursquare, Facebook and HD Widgets. All work fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
Thanks for that, I'll do a wipe and try again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
This rom is fairly bloated. Anyone started stripping it down? Just a quick glance and this is what I can see can be removed. (note, this is stuff I would remove, as I use other apps). I am sure there are even more APK's that are not needed. So if you know something that can be removed (or needs kept), be sure to chime in. I like a bare bones rom. I managed to trip the CM7 zip w/gapps and a custom kernel down to 66MB (normally 99.5).

These apk's total 64MB in space!

air_runtime.apk

amazonmp3-unsigned.apk

AmazonVenezia.apk

AudibleAndroidApplication-venezia.apk

Cloud9-release-unsigned.apk (I use a different browser)

Cloud9SystemBrowserProvider-unsigned.apk

com.modaco.marketlauncher.apk (not needed if using 3rd party launcher)

com.modaco.thedeck.android.app.apk

Contacts.apk (um this tablet is not a phone)

ContactsProvider.apk

DownloadProvider.apk

DownloadProviderUi.apk

Email.apk

Facebook.apk (I use friendcaster)

Gallery3D.apk (I use quickpic)

HTMLViewer.apk (not needed if using 3rd party browser)

IMDb-2.3.apk

KindleForOtter.apk

Launcher.apk (I use adw ex)

LiveWallpapers.apk

MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk

oem_install_flash_player_signed.apk (newer version in the market)

OTASilentInstall.apk

OtterAppManager.apk

OtterTutorial.apk

Phonesky.apk (not sure what this is but likely not needed)

Pulse-amazon.apk

Quickoffice_AMAZON_4.1.467_VC.apk

Windowshop.apk (amazon shop? not needed)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
Well after a full wipe and flash location services still doesn't work. I'm at a loss trying to work out why this is the case with my Kindle and this firmware.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Brave, the Amazon apps are 'tied' to the Launcher, the Kindle App won't work (or didn't used to) without being executed from the launcher. Gallery3d needs to be used if you want integration with Google+. But I'd dump (or initially use Titanium and freeze) EMail, Pulse (Taptu is better), LiveWallpapers, Audible, Facebook (it's just a browser link rather than the full 1.8.1 version)

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

I hate replying to my own post, but once I used Root Explorer and browsed to the NetworkLocation.apk in system/app and installed it, a quick reboot later and it started to work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
Im using Gr6, and when I open google maps it keep saying "open location settings?", but theres no way to do that so it just closes to the previous page. I have tried what previous poster said "I used Root Explorer and browsed to the NetworkLocation.apk in system/app and installed it, a quick reboot later and it started to work.", but still same after reboot. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
I can reproduce this if I Titanium restore everything. However if I do a fresh install (wipe) and then download Maps and Root Explorer (or equivalent) from the Market. Run Root Explorer and find the NetworkLocation.apk and install this, then reboot and run Maps it works. Titanium can then be used to restore everything else.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] krelvinaz:
I just installed GR6 without any issues. I used CWM instead of TWRP as I moved to that a couple days ago.

I was using the Stock 6.2.2 rooted rom NFX Rom.

I didn't have to reinstall anything so far, though I used the market to update Maps which I could not do before. Now I can see a lot of apps that I could not see before.

Even Swype which I already had loaded and running was still there and works fine.

As for location, it works with maps within 40m but has me sitting right where I am in the house. Cool..

Still checking out other stuff i have to see if there are any problems, but so far... none seen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
i just flashed to Gr5 from Gr2 and it seems smoother...to bad i just now got to the end of the thread and saw Gr6 posted...downloading it now.

love the roms
[Kindle Fire Android Development] LilaLurch:
It´s unbelieveable... :mad:

I have installed the Gr6 (6.2.2.) a few hours ago. Everything was well, i have downloadet some apps from the store, everything seems to be normal.

Now, my Kindle makes a reload, and all is back to Stock. No, root, no TWRP nothing....

It´s there a Solution to protect my KF for this f*****g Update?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
yes - should do on all stock roms:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1451328
[Kindle Fire Android Development] LilaLurch:
OK, thanks. But i though i had done this before. I does´nt delete the file, i just renamed it. Maybe that was my fault.

So i will restore my Backup (Thank God i have make a backup this morning), and try to keep this f*****g Update away from my KF.

;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] krelvinaz:
When you updated to GR6, the file was put back. When I loaded it last night, it is the first thing I looked for and changed.

Paul is in England, and doesn't have to deal with the update, so his ROM has the file in it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] LilaLurch:
OK, thanks again. But a question about Pauls location?

I´m here in Germany but i still have trouble with the Update. Why do you mean Paul doesn´t have to deal with the update?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
I'm in England and haven't had the update..........yet!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] krelvinaz:
If your device is not registered with Amazon, you don't get the update.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
to turn off wifi during the installation and the file remove is a good idea - turn on if your finished

i does'nt matter where you are

that's the point - regardless of your location
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
I have two markets installed.

just saying... no complaints. anyone else?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loughary:
Actually one is a Market Launcher so it will show up in the factory Kindle Launcher. Basically just provides the ability to launch the Market from the Kindle factory bookshelf launcher.

If you wanted you could uninstall that one but you'll only be able to access the Market from a different launcher. The easiest is to go to applications and the Market app that gives you a "uninstall" option is the safe one to remove.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cruel91:
How can we make the default music app from Amazon only scan a specific folder on sd ?? I got many weird notification sounds, sounds from data games and my mp3 songs because it scans the whole sdcard. Is there anyway to fix this ???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
download this http://db.tt/R6Rm8KhZ or if its not working download and unzip this View attachment nomedia.zip and slap this puppy in the folders where you do not want mediascanner looking.

I do not know personally if itll hide .ogg and music files, but it hides photos, gifs, pngs and icons. Let me know if it doesnt hide music stuff.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cruel91:
Yea it works perfectly. Thank you so much. After your tip, I found a app called studioKUMA .nonmedia to do that for you

Another question is that I found Gr6, how can it update it into my KF ?? I am currently running Gr5 with lots of apps that I dont want to install them again
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
I had the same thing. I just wiped cache and installed it from recovery. No factory reset and kept all my apps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cruel91:
Can you confirm Location Service working ??? I mean can Google Maps determine your current location via wifi ???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
Yes it works. I can also use the mapquest app and get full navigation support by connecting my Fire to my Evo 3d through hotspot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neo_rambo:
Any screen shots of this bad boy?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:

I've installed go launcher just fine without any problems.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] krelvinaz:

I can find the android market on this but not the Google services framework. Can anyone help with

2) How do i find it ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] markmarkr:
ADW EX worked for me, but not plain ADW, and not a few others.

Android Market is working too.. it's the first time it has done so for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dcaplinger76:
Everythings great but I can't seem to get notifications on Text+ like I do when on CM7
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Blue Lou:
Is there anyway I can add my Kindle Fire/'Samsung Tablet') to the list of devices on the Android Market website?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] krelvinaz:
Stock rom does not leave WiFi running when the screen is off. You can use something like WiFi Keep Alive to have it do that. CM7 I believe has an option to do that in the Rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] curiousGeorge:
How can we take advantage of this? I'd like to increase the amount of 'sdcard' space to at least 6GB. I don't mind sacrificing a few hundred MB of 'application' memory either. I want to squeeze as much space out of this device as possible while retaining the full stock-ish Amazon experience.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] astmario:
Did anyone tried MoDaCo build.prop file on stock ROM? Can someone upload this Samsung modifed build.prop file so I can test it on stock rom to bypass market limitation?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
Download the firmware and open the zip and get it yourself, it's not difficult.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TheShackSpecialist:
Love this Rom! Keep the good work up!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pelata:
This Rom is great! Is there a way to install gapps like music, gmail for tablet, calendar and others? Thank you!

Sent from my kindle fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lordsofletterbox:
Just go to the Android AppStore and download whatever you would like to add. If you cant find it there, then I am sure googling the apk of the app your looking for will get the desired result all the same.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Radon_22:
Amazing rom. Loving the ability to keep the KF interface while adding the market, root, and other good stuff. Thanks, Paul! I was a big fan of your Gtab/Advent stuff.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pelata:
On the market i can find gmail but it's the "phone" version, i can't see calendar and google music (for this is because I live in Italy), i tried with some apks find on other sites but they don't run...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lordsofletterbox:
There is a apk called Market Unlocker I believe and its purposed is to open up the market as if you was using your device in the US even though your in Italy, its pretty easy to find. Also you probably can take a GAPPS zip file and extract the apk's your looking for, I say probably because I haven't attempted to do so but think its possible.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raiderep:
Just reporting back with my battery life this past week, not bad at all. Never turned it off once and screen on time is just over five hours. Light use I know but stoked for sure ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] maltydog:
Liking this Rom a lot, one issue I see, is that if I try to download an app from the Amazon Appstore, I get an endless message that the file is downloading on the status bar.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] justqt:
@raiderep Did I just read 7 days on one charge???? That's awesome man.

I just wish downloading this rom didn't take 7 days for non-premium link.

Edit: I didn't have to just downloaded go launcher and works just fine. Zeam and ics launcher doesn't work.

Thnx guys.

No its for the Amazon Video. For the wallpaper you need to change he permissions in some folder,there is a thread on how to do that in the index I believe, or just search for wallpaper fix
