I have CM7 (my own build compiled from Sblood86's repo) running without any issues on two KFs. One one those is used by my kid and has almost 100 :) games on it. All games work fine - no issues. Sure, once in a while the KF get's stuck and needs to be rebooted - but that's probably more the games fault and these occurrences are very very rare.

I'm on intersectRaven's latest kernel (2.6.35.14_CM7_20120223_1512), overclocked to 1200 Mhz using the hotplug governor in case this matters.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] LoGiK915:
cwm

love the idea of cm7 without all the useless stuff. Just wondering if this can be installed using cwm instead of twrp? I know the description and op say twrp but i'm more comfortable with cwm. But I will switch back to twrp if need be. Really want to try this rom. Thanks.

Nevermind. Switched back to TWRP and installed. Tried CWM but MD5 mismatch error. Really digging the simplicity and smoothness of this rom. One question tho. Is there anyway to make the homescreen work in portrait mode? Not a big deal just curious. Thanks again.

Nevermind. Figured it out. No complaints now. Great Rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
Sblood86, I did as you said and still experienced the same result. Will add issue tonight
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mperson007:
Would you be willing to share your build?

Sent from my Thunderbolt
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
My build is here: https://github.com/loosethisskin/android_device_amazon_blaze/downloads

But again, it's compiled based on Sblood86's repo. I only merged the missing framework changes that Sblood86 hadn't merged back then. Since then he also updated his repo and his latest build (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508802) should be pretty much the same as mine.

And btw, you need to install intersectRaven's kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382999) separately, our builds include an older kernel.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mperson007:
Just loaded this. So far works great. Thanks so much!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Here is a quick test build of STEP1. Based of the build above (post #401). I can not test it right now. Let me know how it run's. A few good reports and I will add it to Post #1. Includes ravens kernel, wifi driver, etc...

Edit: Download here.

Downloading now. Do I also use the twrp backup from the 1st post with this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Yes, you can.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] da-pharoah:
Sweet! Downloading now.. ill flash and post back.. n e thing specific you want tested??

Edit

Didn't flash in twrp... received an error message stating 'E:Cannot load volume /misc!'
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jmcoffey:
It flashed. The kindle doesn't have that volume. It will ignore the error.

Can you remove TWRP and add cwm as recovery? would be perfect since TWRP is more or less dead
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rquattro:
Using it right now, everything seems to be working just fine. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Dead or not, it works just fine for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ItsDon:
I still use it also. Its pretty nice.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KnappyRoot:
I agree. I have not had any issues using TWRP (knock on wood).

Once CM9 gets HWA working, I sure hope you come out with a CM9 Barebones. Thanks for making my Kindle Fire a sweet tablet!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Another happy TWRP user. Just because it is not actively developed does not mean it is dead. You can install the CWM touch if you want it. Sounds like the gscript method is drop dead easy. (pun intended) :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] da-pharoah:
Ok cool.. then I'll try again...thanks

TWRP doesn't see the install files

Hey all. Just got my KF yesterday and decided to root n rom it. I decided to go with this rom, but when I downloaded the install files and put them on the root of my KF, they don't show up in TWRP. On my PC they downloaded as WinRAR archives, so i'm not sure if that's the problem, but I tried to change the file extension to .zip, but no luck.

Am I supposed to unrar them before I put them on the KF, or put them in a specific folder?

Any help would be appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] da-pharoah:
Yea they are supposed to be in zip format.. and just to make it easier on your self by puttin those files on the root of your ext right.. just in case u didn't first time round... but which files did u download, the ones from the op, or the 'updated compilation' aka test.zip build posted a few posts ago?

Edit

This is the test.zip try this... I just flashed it this morning and have no issues so far... loving it actually...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] btonetbone:
This build works! The same bugs previously mentioned still exist. The Reboot menu has the "recovery" option, which has thrown some people into bootloops. Also, I could not get the browser apk posted earlier in the thread to work, so I extracted a new one from another build which works great. I am attaching it here in case anyone needs it; put it in system/app and make sure the permissions match the other apps in there. Thanks for another great build!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
I have all the stuff removed. If I ever uddate post #1, I will also include a updated "removed stuff.7zip". The recovery thing has been known for awhile. I think it was removed from the normal build, but somewhere along the line it got added back, because only TWRP has the issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
It's not so much removed as I stopped compiling the builds for it; I still have the branch in the source tree for anyone who wants to compile for TWRP (subsequently removing the recovery option from the reboot menu); if you sync and compile a build from the TWRP branch you guys won't have those issues. I had been considering not continuing maintenance on the TWRP branch but it's not particularly hard to keep it up to date as it's only one repo that is actually changed and with only one overlay file as the difference there's no reason not to keep the branch up to date. Having said that; as I've stated before I'm not running CM7, the builds I compile are my test builds and that is why I have stopped compiling for TWRP myself (clean build running around 40 minutes; if I'm compiling for both recoveries that's quite a bit of time just spent compiling stuff). Sorry of course for the inconvenience this causes TWRP users but rest assured I'm not dropping the source branch with the removed reboot option anytime soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
Pocket legends for me lol gotta play like 15 20 min in a dungeon. If not I'll test it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] da-pharoah:
ok so I havent had time to flash whats updated in the OP... but the test.zip is nice!!! I even installed spb launcher to try out and it runs smooth!!! I havnt had the time to fully test everything as I have been busy with beta testing for my g2x... thanks for the updates tho!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
I installed it, still had game issues. Rom was smooth too.

On a side note I tried a different Rom from yours too and still had game issues. Wonder if it's just a fire issue right now.

( just remembered I forgot to post the issue)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] da-pharoah:
which games did you have issues with? I have yet to experience issues on games... (knock on wood)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rquattro:
I have been using the test.zip ROM and I'm loving it! No issues at all, and I'm playing powervr games just fine. HD videos are working, games are working, overall a great experience. I came from the stock rooted modaco ROM and the sound of my kindle improved a lot too. It was cranky before.

I have to thank you for this great ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dieandromeda:
test build work fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Post #1 updated. Step_Two still unchanged. Thanks for the reports.

Edit #1: Went ahead and added a donation link to my sig, for those few who wanted to buy me a drink. Maybe if it adds up, I can get me a new Kindle and stop stealing my girlfriends.

Edit #2: Realize I forgot to update the rom name in build.prop. Rest assured, it's newer then 02-09-2012. Just forgot to update the date.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KnappyRoot:
I am a little confused. I am using the prior version (2-09-2012) without any issues. I want to be running the latest version of Barebones but what really changed in this latest update? I clicked on the link to loosethisskin but could not make sense of it. Is it worth updating if I am not having any issues?

Sorry if this is a noob question....still kind of new to all of this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Techngro:
Thanks for the reply. I actually figured it out from an earlier post of another member who was having the same issue.

But I am glad to see a new version. I will download and have a look. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
You can read some of the changes in the history.md

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
You could always flash over TWRP, to do Step_2, and then flash back over to CWM when done. Some day, I may get around to doing a CWM version or find a better way that is universal. I tried awhile back but ran into a couple brick walls. But it's not to difficult to switch recoveries when needed. You can ask around, most will say it's worth it, and really should only take 10-15 minutes of your time.

Edit: Why did I just answer a post from February 1st... lol, k break time.

Edit #2: Ehem.... CWM support added!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dieandromeda:
Takenover83. i wanna ask something.

let say i successfully install the rom along with twrp backup, one day 1 decided to clear all cache, dalvik cache and restore factory setting using twrp. does it mean i will lose all the tweak that you provided in the twrp backup?..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Updated again... To add CWM support. If you downloaded in the last hour or so, no need to reflash. Nothing changed, I just added support for CWM for those who have been requesting it. But the zip (cm7barebones-sdcardroot.7zip) did update, only to include that support. That actual rom zip (Step_1_CM7BAREBONES.zip), did not change since the previous update (about a hour or so ago).

Alot of the tweaks would be removed but not everything. Custom build.prop would remain, as well as the host modification's, kernel, custom wifi, driver etc.. The Theme, wallpaper, few apps, likely the supercharger I included would not would not be there. This is because you wiped data (factory reset).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
Pocket legends. Starting to think its a game issue with the device. I can play emulators all day without a hitch lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nguyen47:
Hello,

I have error while restoring step 2 from CWM. It says something about error boot image, I don't remember so well
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
If using CWM, click backup and restore>advanced restore>CM7_Barebones_Step2>Restore Data

Do not do a normal restore or else you likely will get that error. (sorry do not have a kindle in front of me right now)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jhayton:
@ Takenover83

Thanks for the great minimal install I love it. One thing I love(d) best about it is the Touch Slider Volume Control. Unfortunately this seems to of gone away in the update? What do I need to get this back, it was best! Cheers!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Do you see Volume Control in your app list? Did you accidently uninstall it? Either way, you can grab it from the market, it's free.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jhayton:
That was it...not sure where it went, but yes, either way i have it back. Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nguyen47:
Hello, after flash step 1, restore step 2 in CMW, now I stuck at screen " Touch the droid to begin". I really touch it and nothing happens
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
This happens when people do not wipe properly or manually install gapps. You do not need to, gapps is included.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nguyen47:
Hm, I think I did a factory reset, wiped cache and david cache but not wipe system. THanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Yea, pretty sure CWM has the option somewhere burred in the menu's. Likely called "format system". Sorry, don't have my Kindle in front of me right now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nguyen47:
Thank a million. I made it

I installed the latest version (03-12-2012) but the build version under settings/about tablet still says 02-09-2012.

Having no problems with new version. Really loving this ROM!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Netflix audio/video sync is still off on the newest build so I changed the build.prop and that fixed it. NOW I can actually run this ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Yea, I forgot to change it. I mentioned this a few post back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] collinsac24:
Is it necessary to keep the calendar related APKs? I usually freeze them with what seems to be no negative effects but can I uninstall completely? Or are they needed for anything(I don't use google calendar or anything if they are connected in anyway?

BTW this is an awesome ROM been using for quite awhile thanks for all your time you have spent on this and please keep up the great work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
You can likely remove the two apk's without issue. I left in the calender because I figured many use it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nguyen47:
It seems Raven's kernel doesn't suit my KF well. In CPU spy, it shows my CPU uses 1000Mhz more than 300 Mhz ( 30 min at 1000Mhz but only 3min at 300Mhz), I think this is why the battery drains faster than stock kernel.

Edit: I use conservative as governor but I think it's not the cause of my problem
[Kindle Fire Android Development] InsertUniqueHandle:
Hi, I've installed this rom a couple days ago and so far it works great! Many thanks for the great work on it. One thing I did notice is that the USB mounting doesn't work on systems that don't have the ADB (and google usb driver) installed. Is it just me? Is there a way to get it to work on any min/mac/linux computer?

Thanks again.

Me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] InsertUniqueHandle:
I figured it out. I had to press on the USB icon and the transfer screen popped up and let me connect to my computer.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Could be a problem with that governor or a app you have installed. Most people use "on demand" and report good battery life.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KnappyRoot:
I have noticed my clock, wifi indicator, and battery level keep flickering. Is there a setting that might be causing this? I turned off the notification to alert me when new network is available but the flickering still happens.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] n-squall:
Ok, i have installed the ROM, but now i want to install the extra apps.

But i don't know how to install.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KnappyRoot:
Download them from the first post and once the apk files are on your Fire just click on them to install like any other app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] n-squall:
But there's no other way to install all automatic?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Yes, just copy what you want to the Step 1 zip, before you flash it. Making sure to copy it to the correct directories.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rquattro:
I'm having a problem setting wallpapers, whenever I set one it will be very stretched, even if I choose the right size, 1024x600. I'm using the wallbase app to set my wallpapers. I tried with and without the Quickpick app.

Any advice?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dieandromeda:
if u use wallbase/quickpic it will crop your wallpaper to fit the screen. it works fine and hq wallpaper look great without any stretch or blur..

the optimum size is 1200x1024 but if u download a wallpapers from wallbase with higher resolution, it will adjust the wallpaper nicely.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rquattro:
Not working with that resolution either.

Here's an example:

The cropper is showing a square selection and I can't make it rectangular.

The result is the following, with a 1024x600 image (the above suggestion did the same)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
You can modify the wallpaper to make it look right. That's what I did with the default wallpaper. The reason this happens is because the dimensions are different when rotating your kindle. It's try to compensate to make it look somewhat good in both orientations. But since by default, portrait is disabled in this rom, I did the following. Maybe not the best solution but it worked.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dieandromeda:
em.it look like u use the right step... if u use new quickpic from market; here what i do:-

-open images using quickpic

-click menu and choose set as

-new window will popup depend on the image/other apps installed, as for me i can select set as wallpaper (gallery 3d), contact, quickpic wallpaper, etc

-choose quickpic wallpaper

-it will automatically crop to fit default size

-click save icon at the top right corner..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rquattro:
Okay, I think I've found a solution! there's an app called crop wallpaper that has the option to select all the image and not only a squarish party of it. It also has the option to add blank pixels from bottom. I added 400px and now it's almost perfect! Please test it out and tell me how many pixels should we add to make it fit.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rquattro:
Sorry for double post, I forgot to add the image and can't seem to add it now on xda premium.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MDG420:

Boot to Recovery lead to bootloop

I don't know how to fix this problem. I was foolish and a newbie at this. Since I couldn't get the home launcher in portrait, I thought it's my messed up installing of the rom. So I want to reinstall the rom.

I did a boot to recovery instead of just turning it off. Then it boot into TWRP. I reinstall the rom. And when I reboot the system from TWRP, it will boot back to TWRP. So now whenever I boot, it just goes to TWRP. My kindle is now in bootloop. :(

Anyone knows how to fix this?

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 AM ----------

God, you are so good! I finally fix it!

Here's how:

If KindleABD downloaded and put in C drive within your computer, you can go do the commands.

1. Open cmd.exe

2. Type:

cd c:\kindleabd

3. Then type or copy and paste below:

adb shell idme bootmode 4000

4. Then type or copy and paste below:

adb reboot

You shall reboot normally afterwards. SAFE!

How do underclock the processor?

The CPU is running at 1.2ghz. I am wondering how I can go about underclocking it?

The battery is draining faster than on the regular CM7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damngood98:
System tuner, no frills CPU control, set CPU.....any kind of app that will allow you to change your CPU
[Kindle Fire Android Development] starable:
Thanks!

Underclock the CPU to 1GHz. I notice a drastic difference on the battery. Wow!

At 1.2ghz, the battery was going down 1% each 5 min without running anything. Now at 1ghz, it is passed an hour and it hasn't gone down even 1% yet. Excellent!

Now that I have the home launcher on portrait mode, the wallpaper is not good. How can I put a new wallpaper in for portrait mode?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Attached the battery usage I get on an pretty much idle KF over 6 days.

This is, however, not barebones but a build based on Sblood86's repo with intersectRaven's 20120223_1512 kernel using the hotplug governor and 1200MHz max CPU frequency.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
nevermind, my Q would have been a hijack, I know better. One more coffee needed. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I don't want to offend anyone either so I won't post the link. But you can always check my posts in my profile ... I think I built it about two weeks ago.

And you also need to consider that this battery usage is from a KF which was almost not used in these 6 days.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
Just flashed this, I'm so happy to not have a restricted kf anymore. I have my phone as far from stock as possible, so it took me 48 hours exactly to get bored with stock kf and start flashing. I love this Rom, I cant wait for development to keep maturing for the kf. Thanks a ton

I think I'll check this one out, once my wife puts the Kindle down....

Does this ROM have a lock screen? I always wondered why most Kindle Fire ROMs leave it in... Is there a ROM without a lock screen?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] btonetbone:
This ROM has a lockscreen but it is disabled by default. So you should be good. If you ever want to enable it, it is in the CM Settings.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TheDoctor1177:
Ohh, okay. I didn't know I had to wipe system and install Google Apps after you restore.

It wasn't in the instructions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
You misunderstood me. DO wipe system, as it was in the instructions. DO NOT install gapps, as it's already included.

Ahhh, okay. CWR is a little different. You have to go to "Storage and Mounts" and then press "Format /system"

Everything is working great now. Sorry for the confusion :p
