[Kindle Fire Android Development] Xplorer4x4:
I instaled the zip and restored the back up. Booted fine, downloaded titanium back up from market and went to batch restore. It hung on the kindle app, and I had to restart. Restarted fine and continued the batch restore skipping the kindle app. During the time it was up I had 2 sleep of death experiences. After the restore was done, I had another sod. I held the power button to use the factory shutdown. I pushed the power button to turn it on. Power button turns green for about 2 or 3 seconds and then turns off. Nothing comes up on the screen..any idea what is hapening? Is my kf bricked? I downloaded right around the time you put the fixes build you reference just a few posts back, so not completley sure if I got the updated version or not but I think its the updated version.

EDIT: It turns out it was the sod. Every single time the screen time outs I get a sod and have to hold power to shut down. Any idea what's wrong here?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Did you enable the on and off animations in cm settings? If so disable them as they are a cause of sod. I had them disabled by default. I have not had one sod or freeze on either of my kindles (on this Rom/kernel). But I have had titanium freeze up when restoring before. That's a common problem with titanium.

Thanks you for your kind assistance,but i still compose your idea ??? Could you please support me step by step ??? because i do not good about android :(. Now what i have to do ???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Sure.... In twrp there's an option to mount your kindle, do that to load the rom you want, you than factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache than flash the rom by selecting flash zip and that's it.... An error about volume misc will come up but that's nothing so reset and let it boot up

Is it normal? Will it drain the battery faster or compromise the performance? The rom is working great, apparently. I just noticed that on Logcat, that's all.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mountain111:
Sr but i can not flash the rom althought i mounted the device as you said.Now condition of my device as follow : when i press power, the screen with firefirefire mode start, next if i do not press power.the screen will off but it still light a lilte and the power button is green, but if i press the power,i load to teamwin twrp recovery mode, i have wipe factory reset,wipe cache,wipe system so i do not how to return the recent cm7 version ??? or flash the new rom ...please help me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
it goes black because there is no rom flashed you wiped it... so when you mount the kindle move a rom from you computer to your sd then unmount and go back to the main menu in twrp click flash and choose flash zip... then choose the one you put on the sd... let it do its thing and when its done i will say some error but thats a normal twrp bug so then after that reeboot the device and you will boot the rom

[Kindle Fire Android Development] edokid:
Hey everyone sorry if this was answered, I tried to read through all the posts but there are a lot. I just got the Kindle Fire 2 days ago and rooted it right away then next day installed this mod. I love it, makes it way more functional and I'm very happy with it.

The only thing is that the battery life seems really low. Like I fully charge it, and I've used it maybe 1.5 hours this morning and I'm at 50%. I didn't use the Kindle enough when I first got it to know what the normal expected battery life should be but this seems really low. I'm switching from an iPad so I was expecting something similar. This looks like it will only last around 4 hours or so, is that normal or should I fix a setting?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Yea that's a fast drain.... are you unplugging it right away than its 1.5 hours or leaving it unplugged over night
[Kindle Fire Android Development] edokid:
No like last night I plugged it in because it was almost dead so was reading on it in bed, then left it plugged in all night. Got up this morning unplugged it then started using it on and off around 1.5-2 hours and it was at about 50% battery.

I'm new to android so I'm not quite sure how things work like multitasking. When I go into the settings and then about tablet, I can click on battery usage. It shows a few things like Google Maps 3%, and then some Let's Golf game at 6%. I'm not entirely sure how to quit apps though. Like I'm using Go Launcher EX and I can click view running applications, and click close all. A few seconds later though they just reappear. Like that Golf game I clicked on in the battery settings and pressed force close, but then it just reappears a moment later and doesn't seem to actually close. Not sure why Maps for example is running non stop or if that would impact the battery.

Also I only use Go Launcher EX not the one that this rom came with, so am I supposed to stop that one from running or is it only running when I use it? Thanks so much.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

Sorry I actually have 2 quick questions as well.

1) I installed this mod mainly because I wanted to be able to hold the home key down and see the recent apps which the stock install couldn't do on the Kindle Fire. Then also to be able to use all apps in the Android Market, where as with the stock Kindle Fire most came up saying not supported on my device. I can live with these issues but the one thing I liked was using Thumb Keyboard to change the default keyboard. Can I change the default keyboard with this app on the stock Amazon OS or only on one of these mods?

2) When I used TWRP to install this mod I chose the Backup option to do a full backup of my stock system before installing. If I want to go back to the factory system with my apps just to test battery there, do I just boot to TWRP and then do restore from backup? Or do I need to flash it with a stock firmware from somewhere first and then do the restore?

Thanks so much!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Yea you should get way more life... I get more running ics and that's a battery hog.. it might be a bad install did you wipe everything before hand.. and to do a restore just wipe everything again factory,cache,davlik and hit restore... and one more thing are you using the kindle charger or a different one, ,most don't have enough amps for the kindle to charge corectly
[Kindle Fire Android Development] moxiot:
Nice Rom. Thanks a lot. One quick question though. Under storage is only showing 4.99 Gb. Is that normal. I thought it was more than that. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
yea that normal they say its more but thats before they partition it for everything else
[Kindle Fire Android Development] edokid:
I've done a few wipes but same problem. I timed it and it drops 1% of battery about every 4 minutes. I haven't used the Kindle Charger it came with no. I've actually been using the charger for my Kindle Touch so maybe that's why. Both are 5v it says but when I get home I'll test it with the charger it came with.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ToxicCosmos:
I'm having the same problem. None of my apps that require wifi will work, just my browser. I tried doing what you suggested, sblood, but that didn't work for me. Has anyone had any luck in figuring this out? :/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] btonetbone:
I bet your clock is incorrect. Manually set it and you should be good!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ToxicCosmos:
You're right. I should've known. That has happened a few times. -_- Thanks.

Does anyone know why that happens? It seems that every time my battery dies, the date and time reset to 1 Jan 2000 and some random time. Is this something that can be fixed or something I'm just going to have to deal with? :p

:confused:

ok in the install instructions it says to unzip the file and put it on the sd card but then it says to install a zip how does this work?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
You don't unzip the file, download the entire zip folder and throw it on the SD card, then when you go to flash it chose the zip folder you downloaded.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Un zip it you will have 2 files a backup and a zip flash the zip in recovery and restore the backup if you want his tweaks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bobbytomorow:
I cannot complete installation, specifically cannot complete:

In TWRP, Click Restore, and choose "STEP_2_CM7BAREBONES". Make sure "Data" is checked and select "Restore Now". [B][I]If using CWM, click backup and restore>advanced restore>CM7_Barebones_Step2>Restore Data[/I][/B]

-I downloaded ROM and unzipped into sdcard

-sdcard now has folder titled "cm7barebones-sdcardroot"

-Successfully navigated to ROM zip and installed fine

-Then, backup restore>advanced restore and get the following message in CWM as soon as I click "advanced restore" :

Couldn't open directory.
No files found.

I have tried everything, manually mounting and unmounting USB storage, removed step 2 folder and placed on root of SD, placed backup folder on root of SD, did factory wipe, manually formatted system & SD card via CWM then replaced folders into root of SD etc...etc...Still get the same message, "Couldn't open directory.

No files found."

What gives?

I am running CWM v5.0.2.7 FULL (by DooMLoRD)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] zephymobile:
Same problem with the issue stated above. Did you get it resolved? Anyone else have a solution???? Please help!!!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] uluxus:
You guys really need to read the instructions...

The file you downloaded cannot be flashed.

You need to EXTRACT it first, then copy the extracted files onto your device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
not trying to be a **** but if you read the page and literally the 4 posts after where you quoted you would find your answer
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zephymobile:
I'm sorry i didn't clarify but I followed the posts and tried the method stated further in the following posts and i'm still having the same problem of it constantly rebooting to the recovery TWRP and not booting into the rom. It gives me the same error as well.

The steps i did were:

1) mounted and unziped the 7z file to extract the files with the zip and folders to the kindle sd card.

2) wiped all the cache etc, then went to the folder and installed the zip in step1 but it gives me the problems stated earlier of "cannot load volume /misc"

3) tried to install step 2 which it successfully completed.

4) reboot

5) it enters into TWRP.

6) tried other roms and still same problem.

7) post here?!? reread other posts. repost?! :)

Maybe I misread the other posts (kinda sleepy) but does anyone got any ideas or did I miss anything? I came from CM7. Please helps, thanks!

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

I extracted the downloaded file already and copied the files to the kindle sd card yet it doesn't work. Unless I need to extract the step 1 file which doesn't seem right.....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
that volume misc error is normal... when you reboot it just boots into trwp every time is that what your saying
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zephymobile:
Yeah. It's strange. I think i'm doing something wrong. I dunno what's up because the other roms I flashed never had this problem. Any ideas? Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
you have to mount in twrp and set your boot mode back to 4000... did you reboot to recovery from your last rom by any chance
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zephymobile:
I must be a super noob at this but I tried after mounting to change the bootmode from KFU to normal and it says the system cannot find the drive specified.

I did choose reboot to recovery from my last rom. Is that an issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Yea with twrp you can't use that or it puts you in a recovery boot loop...have your kindle just on and plugged in than hit normal boot it will say waiting for device then turn your kindle off by long pressing the power button and turn it back on it will connect during the boot up
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zephymobile:
damnit my kindle is now not recognized by KFU when i mount...maybe i'll reset
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Just uninstall and reinstall the drivers
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zephymobile:
Did a quick reset of the laptop and it recognized the kindle driver. Thanks bro it was the bootload like you said was the issue. You rock thanks again!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Sweet.. just remember not to reboot to recovery or if you switch to CWM it will work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] trycks:
another victim of bootloop (T_T)

im also using TWRP Recovery and did a reboot to recovery.

i think this is a bad day for me, my usb cable is also broken :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Ouch.. easy fix tho when u get a cable
[Kindle Fire Android Development] trycks:
update: i got a usb cable and open my KFU but it still not recognize. how can i uninstall the kindle fire driver manually so that i can still it again?

update again: i successfully escape the bootloop :) first i disconnect and turn off my kindle fire then open the KFU in the computer then select the normal boot after that i connect my Kindle to the computer and thats it :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rkeenan:
I can't get my kindle fire to connect to wifi anymore. Should I flash another rom? it stopped working a couple days ago but I have been running this ROM for about 6 weeks with few problems. Please tell me that the WIFI card didn't go out

Thank you so much! I am sorry everyone for being lazy and asking instead of just reading the forum. Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] btonetbone:
I'm glad that worked! This will happen if your battery drains completely. For some reason, that resets the clock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bobbytomorow:
I posted a page back but no one has yet replied,

I cannot install step 2 via CWM. Step 1 installs fine, did all wipes, install step one then when I go to "backup and restore>advanced restore" it gives me: No Files Found...the step 2 folder is on root of SDcard

anyone?

(running CWM v5.0.2.7 by DooMLoRD)

Make sure the step 2 folder is in the TRWP folder ... its a backup your installing
[Kindle Fire Android Development] meso100:
I am selling my Fire to a friend so from the CM7 menu selected factory reset. When it rebooted it went to TWRP so I did the following:

"Factory Reset", wipe "cache", "dalvik cache", and "system".

Flashed "Step_1_CM7BAREBONES.zip"

In TWRP, Clicked Restore, and chose "STEP_2_CM7BAREBONES". Making sure "Data" was checked and selected "Restore Now".

The Fire just reboots straight into TWRP every time, does anyone know whats happened here? Thanks for help in advance.

The software with Kindle came with Contacts, CM7 doesn't have it but it shows my contacts using Google Voice. I can text via Voice, but If I wanted to make a call is it possible?

How can we get the Contacts, & Dialer App and possibly SMS apk as well anyone ? ? ?

Ive downloaded and side loaded , browser.apk which works.

contacts.apk works to have a dialer, call log, contacts, but when trying to make a call i get force closed , android.process.acore. ,

messaging automatically closes, is their anyways to make wifi calls via google voice anyone ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rkeenan:
This is the most stable KF ROM I have used, including the new ICS ROMs. I am going back to this one and never flashing another one again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] quigley82:
yes i use a program called CSipsimple for a dialer from the market , then i use my google voice. google "sipdroid & pbxes" to find out how to voip google voice . but as of now you can call out and hear the person on the other end but they cant hear you. the external "all external mics" aren't responsive yet. to receive SMS i use mymsms from the market to receive and send sms from my fire. stock dialer app wont work or stock SMS app, the kindle isn't a cell phone nor does it have a data plan of it's own.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vertig:
Does anyone have this ROM in their Dropbox or some other link that they can share so I can grab a copy? The wifi I'm on right now doesn't allow downloading from Mediafire. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] forest1971:
I have not used stock Rom much but could say this Rom is extremely battery friendly. If I just leave it unused it may stay like 99% in the afternoon.

When used it depend on the load you applied but overall I think it is great.

Best rom so far for me. I specially like the fact that this rom use very little ram and always leave more than 200-250 MB free, and it is very light weight and it has been playing all games that tried so far, and it has the option to hide status bar when we want to.

I prefer changing to the ICS wall paper downloaded from some place and change the home screen to portrait. Other than that I am fully satisfied with all other features.

Great rom and kudos to the Rom Chef!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vexorg:
Does the Google Play store work on this ROM? There doesn't seem to be a list of things that do not work anywhere. Does everything work?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
This is cm7 pretty much everything works
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Evo_Shift:
This rom is awesome.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Evo_Shift:
Is the stock kernel that is included in the extras a flashable zip or is it just a zip of the stock kernel that we would have to install through fastboot?

I keep getting semi SOD issues where you can see the screen light up slightly but it doesn't turn fully on. If I leave it off a little while then it will turn on. I thought maybe I'd try stock.

EDIT- It's flashable. I just did it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Evo_Shift:
If I change the wallpaper out on this how do I get the original back?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] boot123:
Still working out the bugs and fixes. Liking this rom more than anyone so far. Hoping for an update soon.

1. It says Android version 2.3.7, whats that about ?

2. Market/Google play icon doesn't load - You need to add a google account in Account & Sync, if your market will not open. This has been stated a few times in this thread. **FIXED**

3. Google search crashes with an application search failure message **FIXED**

4. Clock and battery status are all listed one one line with no separator **FIXED**

5. Not able to install any apps. **FIXED**

Sorry, i read though 60 pages, wish the critical stuff was on the first page. Just too much to go though.

Does anyone know how to make apple's video trailers play on the kindle? The trailers load up, but never play, like it needs an add-on or something. Using dolphin browser.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] collinsac24:
If you were to read the thread you would see fixes to whatever your complaining of but none of these problems have existed for me and I've been using this rom since it came out, if you are having all those problems then sorry it must be user error...but I could be wrong but either way read before you complain its best to keep the devs happy so they will still provide these great things for us.

For the clock all you do is turn on am/pm in settings, and it is based on cm7 so why wouldn't it be 2.3?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] boot123:
Went though all 63-pages of this thread, and now absolutely love this rom, has a few bugs, but very stable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Evo_Shift:
What would be different if you didn't restore the second data part? I've seen people say the tweaks won't be there but what tweaks? Isn't the build prop part of /system? I like this ROM a lot but am just curious.

@Takenover83, I wanted tell you about your Bare CM7 and This is unbelievable. I happened leave my Kindle fire sitting for like 3 weeks without charge battery.

I checked my kindle fire's battery stats and I stunned the battery stats still almost full *actually about 90% full*. FREAKING AWESOME!

I tested few another OS such CM9, AOKP and etc. They ran out battery no time within 1-half week.

Can you do the bare CM9 based please! :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] collinsac24:
Mine lasted about a month was at 80 something but this really all depends on your settings and governors. But I'm also hoping for a bare cm9

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Elsydeon:
Has anybody else had issues with this ROM just freezing on you in the middle of doing something? Seems like this tends to happen if I don't reboot the Kindle for a few days...I'll either be browsing on Dolphin Browser, or using Pulse, and all of a sudden it'll just completely freeze over and not accept any input. Requires a hard shut down to get back up and running.
