I don't seem to remember ever have that happening to me, but I've been on ics for a while now, still wishing takenover would come back and make an ics rom
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sacksyboy:
Figured it out...should have searched for 5 more minutes.

Deleted original question.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bferguson:
revert to this CM7

I want to go from a Jelly Bean CM10 install back to this, but I'm not sure about bootloader and all that jaz. Can I perform this process safely? I started with this as my first rom and now I want to come back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Does anyone have a mirror for the latest build? Would love to switch back to barebones but the download is broken.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HobbitCy:
I know its a year late but i have a copy of it if your interested

was looking into it as i was looking to go back to this one as the battery life on stand by was just amazing
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Dang I'm on OtterX now but sure I'll take a copy for historical purposes :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HobbitCy:
Will add it to a service and send it to you : )

im on otterx too : )

here is the file

[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Thanks bro! My sister gave me her old Kindle Fire so I'll put it on that for the heck of it. Until KitKat came out CM7 was always adequate enough for me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HobbitCy:
ur welcome : )
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
That is not a link to "latest build"

check md5

but doesn't hurt to have a mirror, for the sake of posterity

[Kindle Fire Android Development] HobbitCy:
WIll look at see if i can find anything else on my HDD's :)

Quick Question i have found another set but when i check the MD5 on the Step_1_CM7BAREBONES.zip i get

4D79010E409F03DE2E1C96F02759F9B3

the file is in a Kindle backup folder I have dated 30.12.13 and looking at the file says it was created on 26.03.12

so will update this one as well for you guys to double check

Step_1_CM7BAREBONES.zip = http://www9.zippyshare.com/v/45472843/file.html

CM7_Barebones_Step2.rar = http://www9.zippyshare.com/v/17841648/file.html
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
All I know is I checked the md5 of the file you uploaded and it matched a different file than expected, so I posted it.

I don't think I ever installed any Kindle Fire cm7 roms, but thought I would add it to my list.

If the file works, and is the correct size, it may not be posted in the op, or there is a minor download error, and may not ever affect how it works

Did you try exploring the zip and see if it looks similar to the other one?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] HobbitCy:
Yup looks to be the last one the OP made

at the moment im on Otterx on my kindle so cant go back to CM7 easily to try it out
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
The reason I asked for the mirror is because the link doesn't work anymore. No one downloaded for probably a year so MediaFire most likely took it down. Because of that I think no one will ever have the latest build :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
Yes, the link to the first mirror posted still works for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
Oh wow really?! If it's not too much to ask, think you could put that on Android File Host or something similar (or just mirror it?) That'd be more than awesome :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
No, I was referring to the first mirror HobbitCy posted, the link in the op to the same file, still works

I've been trying to figure out how to restore "cm barebones step 2" from TWRP 2.2.2.1 (had to roll back...newer TWRP wouldn't even let me flash first part) The problem is when I go to the restore button for step two.. It doesn't show up at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thx!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
You extracted files, and placed CM7_Barebones_Step2 folder in TWRP/BACKUPS/ 0000000000000000 folder on sd Card then selected, restore
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dukehazard77:
Okay will try that!

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

So that worked..not sure if I would know if 'step 2' is running correctly because it seems the same as it was when I had just flashed step 1 w/o step 2 (kind of sluggish and not as snappy as some described) Not sure if he meant make sure data is 'checked' was referring to mounting data in MOUNT section..there was nothing directly near the file when I restored it. Sorry, feel I'm doing something wrong.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] dukehazard77:
Thank you. Should I unzip that like the others and then flash step 1 and restore step 2?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
the 02-09-2012 cm7barebones-sdcardroot zip includes both backup 1 and 2 files, extract, and place on sd card
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dukehazard77:
Perfect! Thanks man..all good. Been so long since I saw cm7 lol..now I just got to figure out where the close recent app button is..ha
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Xplorer4x4:
Thanks I believe I did turn them on because I love the on and off animation but its worth disabling them them to run this rom. From the little bit I used it, it seems super smooth and much more responsive then stock cm7. Keep up the good work. I will be using this now untill ICS is ready and hopefully you will be tweaking ICS in the same maner. Normally I would pass on a bare bones rom but given the lac of hardware on the kf it makes sense.

As for TB, yes I am aware. Used it about a hundred times now so I know its normal but usually its because an app is incompatible. I can't imagine the kindle app not being compatible.

One suggestion though, I don't know about others but every time I flash a rom on either of my androids, I imediatley jump in to the file browser and install TB via an apk on my sd card, I tend to update quite often, and go to work restoring my apps. With out the file browser that's not possible. Now if the stock browser was included, I could grab the apk from Joels site, but that's not possible either. So what about including a copy of the free version of TB in the rom if you don't want to restore the file browser or web browser?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JOEOZUNA4U:
this rom is sweet! one quick question, does the lock screen work? ive trying to get it to work but it keeps failing
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
I always just restore titanium with adb. I also believe from within titanium you can create a flashable zip.

Lock screen works fine on my end. Make sure to enable it in Tablet tweaks.

EDIT: Just tested that update.zip titanium feature in twrp. Worked great.

File not showing up in Restore

I am also having the same issue that user "mguinta25" reported a few pages back:

"Downloaded the file extracted them, then i flashed step one. But when I go to restore the cm7 barebones isnt there. What am i doing wrong?"

I did not see any reply to this and I really want to try this ROM, any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aoaleman:
In the TWRP backup folder you should place the extracted folder from the 7z package and not the 7z file. Is that what you did?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] e_rene:
Ohh, I think I got it now. I was using winzip to unzip the file.

Instead of right click and selecting "Extract to here" I was opening the 7z file and manually moving the files to my desktop.

That did not create any TWRP folder, It was only creating these three files:

Step_1_CM7BAREBONES.zip

data.ext4.win.md5

data.ext4.win

So I was trying to move those three files to my SD root directory.

I will try again, it should work now.. Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rotsu:
Anyone can help with this? I want the home screen to be in portrait mode and not just landscape
[Kindle Fire Android Development] huchman:
Menu --> Settings --> adw launcher --> system preferences --> Home Orientation --> auto/sensor
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vicky_ag:
Go to settings -> ADW settings -> System preference -> Home orientation.

Though the homescreen image is optimised for landscape so looks ugly in portait mode.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aoaleman:
Yeah, you're going to want to keep the two files "data.ext4.win.md5"

and "data.ext4.win" in the extracted folder and not files by themselves. I believe that's the way TWRP is able to read the entire folder and restore it. You're welcome! :)

Cant get out of setup

After flashing latest update the kindle boots up then goes to the setup where it says touch the android to begin. But when i hut the android nothing happens. The only thing that works is change language. Anyone know of this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] huchman:
Did you flash gapps seperatly? You don't need to with this ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fairtrade128:
I'm getting some graphical glitches/artifacts. In dolphin browser for example, when I click the button for doing a gesture, I get these streaks across the screen...anyone else having similar issues? Or could someone using this rom quickly try pulling up the gesture screen in dolphin to see if they get the same thing?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
I just played a MKV over my network for 15-minutes via MX Video Player. No crash.

I have run quadrant without issue several times. Keyboard settings also work just fine for me. Did you check the MD5?

Yep, do not flash gapps. That setup apk is not even included by default.

Thanks for pointing him in the right direction.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] btonetbone:
Is there any way to get the regular Android browser on this? I came from another cm7 rom, did a TB backup, wiped everything, installed this. When I tried to restore the browser using TB, it keeps force closing whenever I try to open it. Does anyone know how to get that working?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Yea just grab it from one of the other cm7 Roms. I would upload but I am not home.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aaron1006:
Great idea! However, Netflix constantly crashes on me :(. Also, a quick question, can you simply flash over the version you are running when you make updates? Rather than having to factory reset and wipe everything before applying the updates for fixes. Just curious because I'd rather not have to reinstall everything all the time, so I'll just wait till its fully functional based on other people's responses if its not possible to flash over it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Constantly crashes? As in, you can't watch anything? I also am a Netflix user and have yet to have a crash. Now that everything is working as intended, I don't plan on updating it to often (no need IMO). But best bet is to back up all your frequently used app's with Titanium backup before flashing over a new version.

Can anyone else confirm crashes with Netflix using the stock setup (meaning you have not changed the kernel or removed any other system files)?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Netflix is working fine for me, in fact I have no issues with this ROM at all. Excellent job!

Browser

Here is the browser.apk someone asked for. Be sure to put it in "/system/app", and make sure the permissions are correct (644 I think?).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mguinta25:
No i didnt flash the g apps and im still stuck at the android button with the finger. Im pretty sure i did everything right. Not sure what happened.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] huchman:
Hmmmm

All I can say at this point is to reflash. Make sure you follow the instructions step by step including the wipes from twrp. :confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nethru:
Anyway to install this using CWM?

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Being that you aren't actually flashing a rom but rather running a restore you can't treat it as an upgrade, as when you run a standard restore it overwrites your data (and other partitions) anyway.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kekule:
First off I really like the rom and mostly it works great. I am having an issue with the kindle for android app though.

when viewing a book there should be solid grey boxes at the top and bottom displaying location and title/chapter information. they arent drawn correctly though. I've attached a screenshot to illustrate.

it works properly using other ROMs though (like the skimp killah super kang rom). has anyone else noticed any wierd display artifacts?

Anyone have any idea how this could be fixed?

Im stuck in bootloop back into recovery....

EDIT: Ok, I got myself out of bootloop with the "ADB Shell" Command and "idme bootmode 4000"

This piece of work looks good.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] huchman:
I had that same issue. If you change the brackground color to anything but pure white it seems to display properly. I changed mine to a light tan and its easier to read and the menu work as intended.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aaron1006:
Well the app itself will run, its during video playback that it freezes and requires a hard reset to get the Kindle to operate again. It played fine for approx ~5-10 minutes each time before freezing on three different occasions, so I restored to my stock setup for now and it worked fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kekule:
You were right that works... really strange though. Thanks

While Netflix works fine on this ROM I am having an issue where the audio doesn't match up with the stream. I tried the OTHER CM7 ROM and had the same problem, but it works well on stock and the original CM7 ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] harry_fine:
I've read this thread and I must admit, I'm confused. And I mean no disrespect to the developer. I've got CM7 on my wife's KF, and I love it, works great.

So other than the ICS stylings, what makes this different, and why do we have to CM7 ROMs?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mperson007:
This is the best daily driver ROM I have used (I've tried them all). You're doing a great job. Thanks for your effort.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] btonetbone:
If you read the first post, it describes many of the differences. The dev removed a bunch of unnecessary apps, tweaked settings, included a new kernel, etc.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ibleo02:
Hey guys. First off I'm liking this ROM. The only issue I have found is Hulu plus. I can log in and select videos but when it starts playing all I get a buffering message and then it tells me there's a problem with my network. Netflix, youtube, work fine. Please help.

Edit: I think its the ad blocker. How do I disable it to see if that's the problem. I have not downloaded a separate ad blocker.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
You can edit or delete "/system/etc/hosts". Better yet. Here is the stock host file. Just remove the ".zip extension" from the filename.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bennettg:

Just covering my bases and making sure is all. Thanks everyone, esp. the OP :)

Here is a Optional updated build.prop that a couple of you asked me about. This one has the correct version number (2.3.7). Contains no additional tweaks or changes but is based off the original build.prop from my stock cm7 build. Just needs pushed to "system". Make sure to remove the ".txt" extension. If I ever feel the need to update, it will be included in the next release.

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

Need more information to help you.

Not bad considering Amazon had been selling a million of these things a week. Read that it took Apple over a year to sell as many Ipads as Amazon sold Kindles in the first month. Needless to say the Kindle should be the place to be for any developers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
well i finally buckled and downloaded this rom and installed it. not bad. not sure if my heart is set on it tho.

one issue i noticed is that i was downloading a game over wifi and i plugged the charger in and after the screen timed out i hit the button to turn on the screen and i just got a black screen. i never did exit out of the progress bar that was downloading. i rebooted and tried this several times to see if it was just a one time thing, and it happened every time i tried this.

any thoughts?

yes i did all the wipes as mentioned on the first page, and restored the data in step two.

(side note order and chaos online works!!!!)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
You were downloading a Gameloft game. Common problem with gameloft. Not seen it happen with any other games. I play order and chaos and Lets golf 3 and it does it on both, as they are both from gameloft.

Just happens when downloading the data in my experience.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
damn your good, like you were watching me or something, yea i was downloading order and chaos online, SOO glad it works on here. gonna have to fight my girl to get it away from her now...she cant stop playing her game on my kf.

to bad soulcraft dont work. the pc says its compatible now and will send it to my device but after install it wont run, i just get a black screen.

after playing with the rom for a little, i really like it.

ALSO with the kindle app, when i load a book and have the buttons and location thing up, it looks like some of the text is highlighted and i cant even see the progress bar the way its supposed to be.

anyone else have any weird experiences with this app on this rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Not tried that game. But someone else in this thread had this fix for the kindle app.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
thanks, i changed to the tan and it works great now!! ill check the thread for the game fix.

rom is amazing

EDIT - i searched the whole thread and didnt see the game mentioned....will do more looking
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ibleo02:
That worked great. Thanks.:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sambena:
This is by far my favorite rom. IMO this is much better than "Shrimp" Killah's rom..

I havent had any SoD with this rom, I have had a few "close calls" where I think a SoD is happening, but a few sec later it comes back to life.

I have also noticed that while in the amazon silk browser I can't turn off the KF.

I have to exit back to the home screen before I can turn it off. This is probably a bug

with the browser and not the rom. (seeing how the browser is ported to CM7.)

I don't know what more you can do to make this rom any better. when ICS gets proper hw video support we can all kiss CM7 goodbye.

I'm sure you can try to get bt working.. but from what I have read isn't going to happen ever! (people think the hardware is there, but it isn't)

Having USB host would be nice. IDK... anyways thanks for the rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
BT support is going to come at the kernel/driver level. Look out to the dev's who are currently developing kernel's such as Hashcode, intersectRaven, etc... I am listening to idea's about how to make it better. I like it the way it is now though. A somewhat blank canvas, for anyone to use the way they like. I have been testing intersectRaven's newer kernels. If I see something stable and has better performance, I will be sure to include it in the next version.

BTW, at nearly ~1200 downloads now :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] boykott:
Hello @Takenover83, first thank you for your work, it's a really nice ROM.

It does everything according to your instructions. But I have a problem.

If I take "TWRP 2.0", the "Custom Touch CWM-Based Recovery 5.0.2.7 for Kindle Fire [BETA2] [Dt: 21/01]"

I'm on my Kindle Fire have problems with the "Custom TWRP backup".

The error message appears ill-MD5 match.

Can you help me and make the [Custom TWRP backup] is also a backup for the [CWM-Based Custom Touch Recovery 5.0.2.7 for Kindle Fire] to provide? thx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
I am confused on what you are asking. You need to use TWRP and not CWM. You could technically (I have not tested) do the first part of the instructions in CWM, but not the 2nd part.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] boykott:
I have the "Custom Touch CWM-Based Recovery 5.0.2.7 for Kindle Fire [BETA2] [Dt: 21/01]"

done on my KF 2.0 because the TWRP not developed anymore.

Because I still get a second KF I wanted to continue using your ROM.

If this firmware 6.2.2 so there are problems with TWRP.

Therefore my question. thx
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
TWRP should work fine regardless of what rom you are using or were using. Regardless if TWRP is still be developed, it still works just fine.
