I installed the rom from the download page, but it looks JUST like stock 6.2.2. There aren't any of the other apps installed, no superuser, no play store, etc.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks!

UPDATE:

NEVERMIND. I originally installed the rom, and then did a factory reset afterwards, which wiped out the additional installed apps. After reinstalling it and NOT doing the subsequent wipe, it works fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Abbens:
I just tried this rom very nice. It has the play store right there working very nice thanks! good work!

Network location support >> i test on google maps, it not working
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jdom58:
I was just about to say the same thing :D Flashed it last night to compare it against CM7 and ICS CM9 and it runs quite nicely keeping the stock rom with all the Android advantages :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FroyoShark:
It would be nice if the download link worked

I installed the ROM along with intersectravens kernel yesterday and loving the optimization. Is anyone else having issues with the KF not automounting when plugging into pc through usb or is it an isolated issue? Thx in advance for the help. :confused:

Update: the issue was with automount/drivers, plugged into different usb port and reinstalled drivers and now it works. :o
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
My apologies for the many questions, but can anyone pls help me figure out why my books aren't showing up under the "Books" section? I used calibre to convert them to .mobi and then transferred them to the documents folder but they aren't showing up. Did that before on the 6.2.2 stock ROM from Amazon and it worked like a charm, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Thx in advance for the help.

If this question isn't ROM related and needs to go to q&a pls let me know and I'll move it. :confused:

Update: okay just figured it out, it was an update made to the kindle app that made my books disappear. Don't know if Amazon is trying to stop people from sideloading their own ebooks or if it's a glitch. So whatever you do, don't update kindle app. :sly:

THIS ROM RAWKS!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
I'll have a look!

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bigboij:
Make sure you put them in a folder called kindle on your sd card, you may have to create it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
So regardless of the update, if I place the ebooks in the kindle folder they will show up in the Books section on the launcher?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
just for info regarding books and mp3 updates:

Thx for that. Wish there was a way to block google play from updating the amazon app store apps and vice versa. But yeah I figured it out late last night and unrolled the updates and my books are back. :cool:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Erk, what happened?

If you don't want to use the ROM don't. *confused*

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
As a further point of note, I've built the MCR for my use and will develop the features I need (I want Market, root and optimisations) and thought I'd share it here as well as on MoDaCo.

Not sure it's worth the fuss!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
I may have missed it with all the "straightforward manly" talk, but his posts didn't seem to amount to more than: That's easy, I can do it in like 5 minutes. What's the point of this? Is this really necessary? etc etc etc. Followed by him splitting hairs over "exactly" what was said. And he is 100% right, inferring that something is useless is not the same as saying it's useless...:rolleyes:

I'm all for constructive criticism, but his posts were far from it. You're spot on with the kindergarten comparison; look no further than the guy's signature for evidence of that.

Thank you for the effort. :) We just lost a dev over in the Atrix forums because of crap like this, so it would be a shame to see the same thing start happening here. Developing is not easy (regardless of what some may think) and even when a particular project is, haters have a way of making it seem like way more trouble than it's worth. But I will take an actual ROM over empty talk any day.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pete_kowalski83:
I would love to have the market working without workarounds. I definately appreciate the work and effort by the devs here. So screw the haters skip their posts!! But keep the Roms coming we wouldn't have all the cool **** without you guys so thanks! Cheers :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zantopad:
Thanks for the Rom Paul! Running great, I appreciate that this is tweaked stock, exactly what I needed right now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tkalli:
Installed ROM with no problems.

All apps working as they should.

Thanks, Paul.​
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I don't think this 100% blocks ota. Paul said he thought that because we have a custom recovery that we could always get around the ota. I don't know if it's 100% true but I read that amazon can push the stock recovery ota.

Sorry about the problem members Paul, he has been banned and thread has been cleaned. Everyone here loves and appreciates everything you do, if you need anything don't hesitate to ask for my or any other mods help!

Everyone needs to keep it on topic or more bans will be issued, flaming isn't welcomed nor will it be tolerated on xda.

Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
I had a feeling that would happen, thank you for taking care of the issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CTTKDKing:
Negative. I had 6.2 with TWRP and it still updated with 6.2.1 and on top of it it wiped out TWRP/root. Wasn't a big deal to use the utility to reroot and reinstall TWRP but there you go. :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
Paul I am absolutely tickled that I finally have a device in common with you! What's your gut/idealistic feeling on the supposed existence of Bluetooth? Anything is possible right?

on losing root...I doubt it...Amazon isn't like the others..they don't care about what you do they just want to sell you media and that's what they subsist on. IF it happens its probably unintentional as I cannot see Jeff Bezos slamming around the board room screaming that he doesn't want his device rooted! They basically subsidized these puppies for ten bucks.. so why would they care?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
re: Bluetooth, I don't know actually, has anyone looked at the chip on a teardown or the wireless drivers in the source?

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Gr2 up very soon, working on something very cool, all being well! ;)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] zonbal33:
I have root through burittoroot. After flashing this zip through twrp I just get stuck at the kindle fire splash screen. The rom seem to install fine, any idea what I'm doing wrong? I even tried wiping they cache, factory reset, etc. I have to do a hand restore everytime to get my kf to boot properly.

Btw Paul its great to have someone with your stature on here, your awesome. Also had a quick question, will you be putting anything out for the rezound anytime soon?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zantopad:
Looking forward to it! Thanks again for all your work and support for this device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] crpercodani:
Between saving tweet deck with TweakDeck and now this I gotta say you're the man Paul!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Strange, were you on 6.2.1 previously? Can you run stock 6.2.1?

No plans for the rezound as it's a US only handset.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
I think you could probably use Titanium Backup to unlink from the Market? I'll have a look.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chrisliphart:
I simply unchecked "Autoupdate" in Google Play on the apps that are KF specific. They still show up in Updates, which is annoying, but they won't screw anything up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Aye. For someone as OCD as me tho that unupdated app is a step too far. :p

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
Thx gentlemen. I'll make sure to uncheck the "auto update" on GP and sever what ever links were made in TB. I agree with you Paul, that app just sitting there screaming to be updated can be very annoying :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chrisliphart:
Oh, I agree, it's super-annoying, and I'm just as OCD. I just didn't think of the TiBu path. Good idea.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bigboij:
just want to confirm this working for replacing the stock keyboard on gr7, currently running swype

only thing i had to add was for swype had to run the install from the system/apps folder after the reboot to clear FC messages.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chrisliphart:
6.3 (Stock) is out!

Here's the link to the 6.3 stock ROM. Obviously NOT ROOTED and has no Google Apps. Just though the dev here might be interested. :)

http://kindle-fire-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/update-kindle-6.3_D01E_4019920.bin

It's not posted on Amazon's site yet, and as such, no change log is provided. I'll likely hold off until root is achieved. I need too much stuff off of Google Play. lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kernelsandirs:
I may have missed this somewhere in the thread, but I am running this MoDaCo 6.2.2 ROM, will the 6.3 update occur if I enable wifi? or should I keep it off until I know there is a proper root for 6.3

Maybe I should just move to the ICS Feb 24 with the wifi patch? I just really hate no being able to use netflix or the TED app(well if I download SD vids TED works)

The thing is I don't use these that often but it still bothers me :-( Wish I was bit more a kernel hacker, last time I compiled a kernel was in Redhat 7.3 :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
if u have a custom recovery there's a chance when the ota reboots it could error. but the otas are the reason I usually stay off stock roms.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kernelsandirs:
yeah I just wasn't sure if this was completely considered a stock ROM and wether precaution were taken to keep OTA from happening.

I found I get stuck in a lovely boot loop when OTA occurs so I gotta "idme bootmode 4000"(or whatever), but I guess its time to just go ICS and deal with the nuances, clearly better than getting stuck wo root?

Maybe CM7 for the interim doesn't CM7 have HWA?

I know hashcode and everyone are doing some awesome work, so I cannot complain. (I recently got a HP Touchpad and they got HWA working on CM9 so it is certainly awesome once that occurs)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sebkn:
Can someone confirm whether this rom is going to block the OTA or not?!

Because i really like this rom + the battery life! (a lot more stable then ics for now)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
don't realy know but verify/do by yourself according:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1451328

could not verify if it works for 6.3 atm - if it don't help it don't harm
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gunshipmlr00:
I can confirm it does NOT block OTA. I've used Voodoo OTA to temp. unroot kindle after flashing this rom to play videos on my kindle since I have prime and it has worked like a charm. It's an amazing find. I highly recommend it to anyone.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MadJoe:
Not the OTA he was taking about. The newest update from Amazon for the Fire will be pushed OTA, and he is wondering if this ROM will block that from happening.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gunshipmlr00:
Guess I need to work on my terminology a little more. Sorry about that. I tried lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lordsofletterbox:
Paul are you hard at work on GR8 using 6.3 firmware? I am very excited to get my hands on your work so I will remain patient. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I want to purchase Kindle Fire to take advantage of lending library that Prime members get. will that work with this Rom including videos etc?

Also where do Android apps show up? Are they under "Apps" tab?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ssmercurys:
You can with this ROM yes. You have to use an app such as OTA Rootkeeper and/or others to soft "unroot" to use Amazon Video and what not but I can definitely confirm they work.

The apps show up in the drawer just like any other.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CTTKDKing:
Sweet! Can't wait. I wanted to flash the regular rooted 6.3 update over Gr7 but was unsure if it'd mess things up so I've just left it on Gr7. Can't wait for the update, you devs are awesome! :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
I did flash rooted 6.3 over Gr 7 and lost Gr 7. (Location services gone) Then I flashed Gr 7 and got back Gr 7 and KF quoted my device is using 6.2.2. Currently I had flashed back rooted 6.3 and staying there until Paul brings his magic update. I noticed by doing all these, Audible Icon shows a regular Android app instead of Audible logo?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mugabuga:
I've got CM9, and when I flash a pre-rooted 6.2.2, and then flash this, I still have CM9. How do I get this on my device?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gunshipmlr00:
You should probably do a wipe if you aren't coming from the stock or rooted Rom I'm guessing. I didn't have a problem. I installed on top of a rooted 6.2.2 stock Rom. I hope that helps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fxzy:
Hope to see try the next update soon. Great job Paul!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] B3L13V3:
You seriously can't read back a few posts?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] MadJoe:
Please inform HTC that no matter how excellent the rest of the phone is, one of the major reasons to buy an Android phone over an iPhone is removable batteries and expandable storage. Both glaringly absent from their so-called flagship devices of late.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] HeroHP:
Hi Paul, it seems to be too long for 6.3, isn't it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lordsofletterbox:
Yeah, I get the feeling Paul likes developing on handsets more than he enjoys tablets. However beggers cannot be choosers so I will continue the wait as all the other everyday users on this thread. I just hope he finishes the update before I fly to Boston for PAX East. I really want to be near my desktop when I flash it, just in case of emergencies. Anyway, Paul keep up your great work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Updated to the 6.3 base folks! :)

Location Setting

Does any one have problem using this Gr 8 ROM to get "location settings"?. Earlier versions allowed to refresh without any problem. But not in this version.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ch0mch0m:
coming from CM9, after factory reset/wiping cache, dalvik cache ... and then install .. the KF keep booting back to TWRP every time ... any idea?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Rodhargis:
Thanks that is what I am doing now with my stock Rom just wanted to be sure it worked with this modified Rom before i install it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Where are you getting the location (so I can replicate / fix)?

I've seen this on a KF before, when doing a 'reboot to recovery' from an app... the solution is to send fastboot commands - ' fastboot -i 0×1949 oem idme bootmode 4000' then ' fastboot -i 0×1949 reboot'.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ch0mch0m:
doing this allow it to get to the KF logo screen, but then it reboot again back to TWRP without finish booting up
[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
The location update come from wi-fi. Google Maps is able to show my current location distinguishing from home to work or any hotspot. Android weather and IMDb also was updating the location similarly, when I refresh, in earlier version. But in Gr8, the update fails to get the location and defaults to when it was last refreshed, one day before I installed the ROM. My settings are set to get my location using wi-fi only.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ygvuhb:
is it a blacklight bug in G8 or it is the 6.3 feature?

it become more dim blacklight compare G7

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.brightnesslevel

i use this widget for adjust brightness at desktop

i choose 25% got similar brightness as G7

but after i press back close the widget setting

it become very dim blacklight
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
Ah yes, i'll fix that in a bit.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paulobrien:
No backlight changes in Gr8.

P
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kart38:
I thought I read somewhere that Amazon adjusted the minimum display brightness in 6.3. If that is the case it may explain why your display isn't as bright now.

Should be fixed in the kitchen now, i'll update the prebake in the morning!

If you were on cm9 and hit the reboot into recovery mode It causes it to go into fastboot. All you have to do is run the unbrick tool located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428428

It happened to me, and this fixes your kindle back up in a matter of seconds.

When on the previous version I would get 4 or 5 days on standby before a low battery.

Installed this today and went from 76% to 16% battery in 5 hours all on standby.

Is anyone else finding this new version is heavy on the battery. If so i think I'll restore the backup.

location services not working

I loaded this today and like it, however I was hoping that location services would work so that I could use NHL Gamecenter live. When I try to watch a live game video it says, "you must enable location services before you can use live video"

Also, when I run Waze it FCs immediately which may be related.

I noticed that when I look in the settings of Game center live it shows null for device ID where my phone running the same app has a 14 digit hex ID shown.

I'm running 6.3_user_4019920
[Kindle Fire Android Development] krelvinaz:
don't think he uploaded the "fix" yet...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wigsey:
What is TB then ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MadJoe:
Titanium Backup. You can also use ROM Toolbox, or just nav over to system/app and rename it by placing ".bak" at the end (without the quotes).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ItsDon:
Really really really liking this rom! My favorite so far. Only a few small issues that may be on my end only but I'll list them anyway:

Location Services - OP knows about it so no big deal.

Google Play - Works OK until I try to download something, then FC's. App I was trying to download will complete the download automatically after a reboot.

Pulse App - I have just a blank icon for this app. App works fine though. I tried to uninstall/reinstall but that didn't help. Cleared the cache and defaults for it, no go. Not a big deal, minor annoyance and probably something exclusive to my unit since I'm the only one talking about it :)

Gmail App - Works OK manually but doesn't automatically sync. Never shows any new mail notifications in the staus bar.

I'll wait until OP updates the rom with the location fix and then do a complete wipe and then flash. Probably all my issues will disappear then.

Very smooth rom with just the right amount of tweaks. I love that I can still use the native Kindle Reading app with lending feature, the native video app for prime videos (much nicer picture than the web version) and still have all my Google goodies. Awesome work Paul - I'm a fan!

Oh! If you update Flash to 11, download and install Flash Video Browser (paid app) then you can watch Hulu! Works great with this rom :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
Yes it does support ad-hoc wi-fi using this ROM. The app ZT-180 Ad-hoc switcher was used to get access.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dw9906:
I just used the wpa_supplicant from a different Rom so i don't have to use that crappy app. Thanks though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
which roms wpa did you use? thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
Wpa_Supplicant for LG Optimus Virgin Mobile

I have been looking for Wpa_Supplicant for my LG Optmius V Virgin Mobile. ZT-180 if installed in LG, does not allow me to mod the settings to enter Ad-Hoc SSID and password. The app states that some files needed are missing without specifying the name of the file. Could you please share the Wpa_supplicant from the ROM that allow you to enable Ad_Hoc wi-fi? Or you could just point me to the URL link.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] e_rene:
Have you tried the "Quick Settings" app from the Play Store?

I used to have exactly the same LG phone and was able to access the adhoc options from there... Unless some new Virgin Mobile update blocked somehow this workaround.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jm9843:
Can someone pull com.modaco.marketlauncher.apk and post it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
I had tried quick settings and it allows me to add wi-fi network. Even though my ad-hoc connection is waiting it states not in range. Is there any additional setup required for ad-hoc connection?
