I personally have not tried HULU+. The reason not, is most shows do not carry older seasons, where as Netflix may not have the newest season, but it will have past seasons. But I have no idea how well or not Hulu+ works on this rom.

Sounds like you want WIFI on all the time. If so, change the sleep policy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tevil:
just had my wifi go off switching from landscape to portrait and had to recycle it. Im using the standing on shoulders cm7.

only way i got hulu to work is through browser which kind of sucks. i had to use this hack

http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-development/9658-flash-latest-hulu-hacked-flash.html

if the dev knows, what is this device mimicing? Is there a way to change it? google market still sees it as a fire which hulu supports so this is soooooooooooo odd!

thanks

Guys, just spend .99 and get this app. Hulu (regular not Plus) works awesome on this rom. Best buck you'll ever spend.

for the moment the hulu apk i found works but should there ever be an update i will try that. i pay for hulu+ right now so i ould like to take advantage of it, but who knows i may decide to go free as im not watching it as much as thought :( since my girl made us get cable

Already have sleep policy set to never. Still shuts off.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Wifi is directly related to the kernel. This kernel does use a custom wifi driver. If poor reception (or maybe bad design? less reception when holding a certain way?) is not a issue. You could also try the stock kernel (and driver) or one of the other kernels to see if there is any improvement. intersectRaven is the developer of the kernel in use on this rom. It may not be perfect, but it's damn good. He is constantly improving it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dieandromeda:
this is the fastest rom so far but i got a questions to ask:-

1. is it possible to hide the statusbar parmenently? i already set "hide statusbar" in the setting and the statusbar hidden by default but after i launched an apps, the statusbar will be visible.

2. i'm using modded ics theme provided in the release, i found a graphic glitch; if we hide battery icon in the statusbar, i see sometimes it appear (less a sec)

Hi Takenover83 and thanks a lot for you fine work on this rom / backup and your help to kindle comunity.

I was using this rom fine a month now, but i have one problem now. My wifi signal is grey, i read about it and only say that you can go throw internet but your google account cant connect. I just test dolphin and i can navigate on internet but market and some widget that needs internet connection cant start.

How can i wipe my wifi data or my google account to revert this rom to initial state to solve this problem? Or i must flash again your rom loosing my apps again?

Sorry if my english isnt too fine that no my primary language.

And again thanks for your job and help, much appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Xdpker06:
Hmm I have an internet connection, but my gapps mail, greader, and callender won't sync. I can still surf. Anybody know why? Last night the battery drained to 0 and it shut off and i plugged it in and recharged it. Now it won't sync.

It seems to be related to google apps. Market won't load, but I can browse web pages from dolphin browser.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
I'm not directly sure as to the cause but assuming a standard restart didn't resolve it try rebooting into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik cache (reboot will take a little longer than normal to rebuild dalvik), see if that doesn't resolve it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Xdpker06:
Thanks. That worked. Originally, I had restored an old backup of this rom I had and even that didn't work. Clearing the cache and dalvik cache did the trick.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] juaduve:
Thanks it solved my problem too, thanks a lot :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MaxRabbit:
I can't believe you took the ability to play pacman out of this ROM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Yep, when I created this, it was the intentions of destroying whatever PACMAN you are playing. Mission accomplished. Note sarcasm. But in all seriousness. Had no clue. If it works on the full CM7 with bloat, then it should work here as well.

Market Issues

How do you fix the crashing market issues? Any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All Tab > Market and clear data. If that doesn't work you may have a bad vending.apk file in which case the one from this post should help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] NirmK96:
Ya the clearing data thing didnt work, but how do i install the vending.apk

I dont have a file explorer and I cant get one cz market isnt working... no way to install it...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Shadow_Assassin:
There is no haptics feedback, anyone has this problem or just me?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] NirmK96:
Ya nvm i figured it out, I hadnt registered my google account and thats why it wasnt opening

u just need to go to settings, account and sync, then add your google account

There is no vibrator in the kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Shadow_Assassin:
Just see haptic in settings, and thought it could bring haptic to kf :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MaxRabbit:

I'm still having problem with hardware acceleration for WMV files. I saw a few posts back that we are supposed to have HWA for all codecs, but no luck for me. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] arceangel:
help please.... my app market wont work at all iv tried clearing data if i push the icon nothing happens since there is no internet explorer how do i download AND run a apk? i have one to copy but with no file manger or internet explorer i have no options other than adb push the apk but my adb is f'ed up at the moment
[Kindle Fire Android Development] btonetbone:
I had the same problem, but this fix did not work. My battery died, and I lost all of my Google services. Third party apps could connect to the Internet, but Google stuff was not able.

I tried clearing cache and dalvik cache, but no luck. I also tried fixing permissions, but also no luck.

Then I found this thread which provided the answer:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/41023-fix-no-connection-for-google-app-market/

For some reason, my date and time got reset to 1999. This caused some conflicts and Google wouldn't let me connect. After manually fixing the date and time, everything worked like a charm!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bvjens31:
Perhaps try to reinstall Gapps with the Kindle Fire Utility? Doesn't sound like a connection issue, as if it was a connection issue I'd at least think that Market would open, it would just give you a "no connection" message with a "Retry" button. Then again, if your adb is F'd up, then it may not work. May want to find out why your adb isn't working.

And like previous poster, I have seen where date/time mismatch will cause some issues as well. But I want to say since nothing happens when you click Market icon, something else may be amiss. I'd try reinstall.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
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.

Hulu Plus seems to not work at all on this. Tried the official one, then both the regular and landscape versions found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449110

But so far, the official one says that my device isn't supported and the modded ones suddenly have to force close when I start a video.

LOVE the rom otherwise so far.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AustinFire:
This rom is awesome! Thanks a lot! It has to be the best CM7 rom on the forum right now.:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] usnret04:
Hulu + works fine on my tablet with this ROM.

Google Talk

Trying to get Google Talk to work with Barebones. When I try to install the talk.apk out of the most things removed file, it keeps telling me it does not install. Do I have to change the permissions or do I need to install something else along with the talk.apk?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
Stupid question... does cm7 has HW/A??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
USB mounting works. The only thing that does not work is the light sensor.

Make sure the permissions are the same as the other apk's.

Yes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] carlos94080:
does the lock screen work?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] KnappyRoot:
I still can't get Talk to install. I have tried different permissions sets but none of them seem to work. Could it be I do not have sufficient free space in internal memory? I am about to just install Google Voice from the market.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] aaron1006:
Thanks for this once again. Been using it consistently since the first or second day that it came out and it's been great! I just flashed to an ICS build about 3 days ago and it's also pretty great, but obviously filled with bloat and what not. Got me wondering if you would ever consider making a CM9 barebones in the future? Sorry it's probably been asked a lot already but 37 pages is a lot to go through lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
just updated to the newest version.

i must say i dont know if this is a rom issue or a device issue but when i play pocket legends i keep getting kicked off, as in the app will just close and go to the home screen.

anyone else experience anything else like this, and any ideas on a way to fix it ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] macx98:
same gaphical issues with games

Hi,

I also get a lot of FCs when gaming, some examples:

Zynga Poker

Star Blitz

Epic Defense

I also notice that a lot of that games seem to display in really low resolutions, they would be heavily pixelated compared to when I was running them in stock rom. Or when in some games some UI elements would be off screen...

I tried compensating for this by using a LCD resolution app and it just makes the force close worse. :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] huchman:
I have a hunch that a lot of these app issues may be due to the ad blocking. I would try replacing the hosts file with the original on page 11 of this thread. I am almost positive this will fix Hulu as well as many of these games that are ad sponsored. :confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] meso100:
I am just flashed step 1 and I get the following after install "e:cannot load volume /misc!"

I then click main menu and restore and there is no step 2 file, just my nand backup.

Any ideas what I should do next?

Thanks for your help in advance
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
the error is normal - the kf don't have a volume misc
[Kindle Fire Android Development] meso100:
Ok thanks

What about there being no step 2?

Can I reboot or is it essential? I am coming from stock.

I downloaded the latest file from the first post i.e. Download Link 02-09-2012 (newest version) UPDATED 3:40PMEST 56MB: MD5 0AC03735F0DAF54274C729D75BA82B0C

But step 2 is in TWRP -> BACKUPS -> 00000000000000000 -> STEP_2_CM7BAREBONES

I am unable to flash it as it isnt showing on the right hand window of TWRP, and doesnt show in the RESTORE folder.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
can't really tell much about it - never used this rom

as far as i followed this thread step 2 is done as a restore

so the structure on sdcard has to be as your other backups
[Kindle Fire Android Development] meso100:
OK sorted.

The step 2 folder needed copying from the location I specified before and pasting into the main TWRP folder on the main install menu.

Clicking restore on the main screen then locates the correct folder. Thanks to Zedomax on YouTube for making this apparent.

Cheers for your insight too fella.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tokyostomp:
Anyone know how to change the keyboard. I absolutely hate the auto correct. I turned it off but it still auto corrects
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Hopefully tonight I'll put up an updated version with the status bar patch
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
this seems, wrong? should be a zip not a backup.

I have cwm recovery, and so do others. u should compile from source, not cherry pick n drop a backup.

I'm only mentioning this because I can't even try it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DalekCaan:
I think this is very clever, especailly because I've never really been able to figure out the supercharger. Plus, your ROM is more stripped down than Skimp's, which, especially on a device like this one, is great to see.

And Skimp, nothing against you, but you really shouldn't be advertising on somebody else's thread. I plan on trying your ROM out as well and deciding for myself which one I would prefer to use. I really do appreciate all devs who donate their time to help us out, but I appreciate them equally.

Keep up the great work! I'll try this out later today.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] huchman:
I can almost guarantee this ROM will be my daily driver once the gapps issues are resolved. Everything else was quick fast and set up perfectly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
I agree, this ROM is ideal once the kinks are ironed out. I look forward to it.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fairtrade128:
Are there still any big issues/problems with this rom? Judging by the feature description, this looks fantastic. Will definitely use this if/when it doesn't have any breaking issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Delete "/data/system/accounts.db" and restart your device to fix the market error.

You will have to sign into your google account again. After I did this, I was able to download from the market. I will add this info to the first post, as it's a easy fix.

adb shell rm /data/system/accounts.db
adb reboot

You can also use a app such as Root Explorer if you do not like adb.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DalekCaan:
I'm sorry. I meant no disrespect. You're right, it was my mistake.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Updated the download link.

You should have no trouble downloading from the market now.

On that note. I have to rebuild as the repo has been updated. So expect another fresh build sometime tonight. (I know, sorry for all these updates!)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raiderep:
Just trying to be helpful here...if I'm not mistaken you can do an adb pull system command and create a flashable zip from that with a little more added if needed. Only mentioning this because I'd like to try your work but I don't want to use a backup and flash a zip too, call me lazy if you must. If this is uncalled for ignore me and move on, but let it be known I support more people learning this stuff so we all get better/more options for our device.

Just wanted to thank you for this super barebones build. The Fire is primarily a web browsing and youtube watching machine. The minimalism makes the whole experience so much better for me.

I wish more phone Roms followed the barebones+addon packs model.

I did the host file like it said on page 11 and I still get the app 'crashing'. Not sure what to do. I would love to play the game on my fire more often. Any other ideas as to what may be causing this? (This is the only problem I am having with this rom/my fire right now)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
What are you trying to do, just make another keyboard stock, or change the way the stock one works.

There is a thread in themes. And apps section for the fire regarding the keyboard. I used it to get? Thumb keyboard instead of the stock one.definitely worth a look
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jaxenroth:
I have no gapps and when I inst the gaaps zip. I am unable to "touch android to begin" I touchnit and nothing happens. If I could just get the market than I'd be OK. But I don't even have a browser. I have a file explorer on the SD apk on the SF but can't access it. Help.

I had the same problem first.

1. Whipe cache, data and SYSTEM in recovery. :thumbup:

2. Flash first zip.

3. Without rebooting do a restore with the files provided in part 2. Place the correct files under the 000000000... folder.

4. Connect to wifi before attempting to open market.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] murderdock:
I can confirm this. I was having a ************ of a time installing anything on my fire. I did everything I could without connecting it to the computer (I'm at work and the only computer available to me at the moment is a server).

I did one more step and added my google account through accounts & sync instead of opening the market, though.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] btonetbone:
I have been using this ROM since it came out. It is hands down the best way to experience the KF. Thank you for trimming out all the extra junk that we didn't need, there is such a noticeable improvement from the other Gingerbread ROMs out there. I also don't think ICS is quite up to snuff yet to act as a daily driver because of the video problems.

That being said, I'm still running into a few little bugs (some of which have been discussed here previously). Will you be releasing any updates? Also, do you have a donate button?

Bugs I've experienced:

- The Amazon Kindle reader app is glitchy when using the white background. The bottom scroller gets distorted, and sometimes text is covered by bizarre black lines.

- I run into occasional theme issues. Most notably, the text from the Weatherbug app in the notification menu is an almost unreadable black on grey background. Also, some context menus and menu buttons are similarly unreadable.

- Occasionally, my WiFi gets stuck in a "turning off" state. I have the sleep mode set to turn off when the screen goes dark and not connected to power. The only fix is a restart.

- If the power drains to zero, the clock resets to Dec 31, 1999. This causes the Google Apps to not connect until the clock is manually reset. It also turns off auto-sync, which has to be re-enabled.

Thanks again for an amazing ROM! I am currently running it on my KF and put it on my dad's.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
I have been watching progress on the kernel, stock cm7, theme, apps, etc... IMO, not enough has been updated to warrant a update. Alot of the bugs people are hitting, have easy work arounds or are not show stoppers. It's pretty good as is. But if something desperately need's update, I will release a update.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skaroger867:
Still having game closing problems if you have any input lol.

I don't know if anyone else is having issues like this, doesn't always happen right away sometimes after like ten min of play. Could it be a ram issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Do me a favor; backup your current build in recovery than flash the latest build from my source, here. Install your game and play it for awhile to determine if the issue is happening on their or if it is something specific to Takenovers changes.

If you find it's an issue with my build there is a link to the issues tracker on github. I have an issue already open for browsers randomly closing on certain pages; almost wondering if they are not related. I can't promise a etr or even that I can repair the issue but if you put it on there I can more easily track it at least (again; please confirm it is not specific to Takenovers builds by flashing one of my builds before opening an issue on github).

Thank you and good luck

not trying to cluter this mans thread, but I play a bunch of games and emulators on your build without a hitch. what games were you playing when it kept closing? maybe its game specific?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
Full wipe of data, system, cache and dalvik cache would be best.

This is a good point; I am fairly certain that it is game/site related but I still want to gather information on this to try to confirm that and possibly find a work around. But please as Smirkis has stated if/when you open an issue regarding this make sure you list the effected game/games (at least one or two if it is a big list) (if it is a big list, see if they have a common denominator [IE: developer, target device, etc]).
