[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
those have all been in there lol.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
smirkis, I used your Gscript to install CWM and it worked great, so I figured I'd also try your rom. Aside from a couple of Market/Play FCs when I first installed, it's running very well. I restored user apps with Tit Backup from a previous rom and that may have had something to do with the FCs.

Also, my calendar wasn't syncing and I noticed that the rom did not have the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk. I just added it to system/app, changed permissions and my calendar is now syncing.

Anyway, as mentioned, the rom is running well and I appreciate you sharing your work. Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Agree with @webdroidmt. I have tried every single CM7 ROM and many CM9 ones. This one just works, looks good, and is solid as a rock. I did install a gapps for gb from the goo.im app when I found that the calendar sync was not installed.

I used the g-script to install FFF1.3 and CWM after TWRP gave me incomplete backups too, even though I am find using adb to install the earlier versions. I cannot recommend this highly enough as a CM7 choice.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
wendroidmt, thanks for pointing out the calendersync issue! I forgot when I installed gapps, I really only added market. so for everyone, of you have any Google app issues, install gbgapps.

ill make sure to include it in a update. I'm just having issues syncing with the cm tree right now.

glad u guys enjoy it, its my daily still til hashcodes done with that new kernel!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Cool! Definitely will enjoy using this rom until the new kernel for CM9, as I watch a lot of Netflix on my tabs. Also, right now I have CM9 on my TP with working h/w accel to keep me satisified. :D

Btw, pleased that you used joenathane's ICS theme, used it on other devices and it looks great. Not related to your rom but thanks for taking the anxiety and grief out of installing stuff with your Gscript. Between KFU and Gscript, I feel like a genius doing this, not to mention how much time I saved. :p

[Kindle Fire Android Development] yup8:
"Modified build prop for more market apps"

Is it Included?

And if i can't boot to recovery how am i supposed to switch this ROM ?

I don't want it to be the last rom i will ever use..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Why can't you boot to recovery? Do you have cwm or twrp installed? If you do it from the ROM menu in twrp, you go into boot loop, a twrp bug never repaired. Just shut down and press power button till it turns orange at FFF logo like always. :confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yup8:
Ok sorry my bad.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bizdady:
Flashed this on the wifes Kindle and its working great, even used TRWP ok. Just I cant get the lockscreen to show up? Any clues? If not no biggie lol

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Setting, CyanogenMod settings, tablet tweaks, uncheck hide lock screen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bizdady:
Thanx! That worked on mine but no go on my brothers lol i installed this on two kindles today lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
So I gave up on the CM9 ROMs until the kernel is done.

This thing is very smooth, no lockups, everything seems to work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raiderep:
Me too, this is very stable and just plain works. With so many setting options I have it just how I want it and am happy with my kindle again. Of course I'm looking forward to a better ICS ROM too :cool:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
Our other tablet is an A200, which has "real" ICS, and Acer is among the best for leaving off the bloat so it is pretty vanilla. I have it rooted and a recovery, but there are only like two ROMS and they are both very close to stock, just tweaked a bit. So I am spoiled--I want everything to just work like it does on the Acer, lol.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guardsix:
I've been using this ROM since I re-rooted about a week ago I turned it off using the power button menu last night. I let it charge all day and found it neither off nor on just a few minutes ago. It was unusually warm. The screen was barely lit and I had to hold the power button for a long time to get the KF to reboot.

It did finally boot and I'm back on the ROM but not sure I want to keep using it until I figure out what happened.

Anyone know a reason for this behavior?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
It is called an SoD, Sleep of Death. It happens for various reasons, overclocking, underclocking, weird software, kernel anomolies, phase of the moon, random geologic events, warps in the space / time continuum.

I have been using this daily for over a month, clocked at 1008/300 with NoFrills CPU. I have Button Savior and usually turn it off with that. I have not had an SoD since I dropped clock from 1200 to 1008.

It is the well documented bug, "S*** happens (sometimes)". :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
Its overclocked by default, I do recommend dropping it to 1008 but many leave it without issues.

I still don't get doe's but it can happen. Hard reboot is quick and it shouldn't happen often.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yup8:
"Modified build prop for more market apps"

Can this happen ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Yea it gives you more apps in the market that aren't officially supported but work fine like certain 3D games
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guardsix:
Great suggestion about button savior. I've had it installed for a while but forgot that it has a shutdown button. Turned it off that way last night and it went completely dark. My battery seems to be lasting forever now! Great !

I don't see the ICS theme. I'll have to check again, but I can't seem to find it on my KF.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
yes, there an ice cream sandwich tweaked theme and the ice cream sandwich clock. Then use the k3 ics theme in button savior.

Using Tapatalk on a Kindle Fire w CM7 ROM
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
It should be in theme chooser but if its not for what ever reason here just drop it into system app folder and go to theme chooser... it will give you some error when appying it but its normal. then reboot. and enjoy the yummy sandwich
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Guardsix:
Ah, there it is. Didn't install with the excellent ROM but I've got it now. Thanks for the download.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bizdady:
Just noticed I had no calendar, browsed around and saw need to flash gapps. Will do later but I was going crazy wondering where the hell it went lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BlueEchoes:
This is the way the Kindle Fire should be! Thanks for all involved creating CM7KFire!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
I having issues synching to my google account. Gmail syncs OK, but nothing else works. Google does not show up as an account in the sync settings. The calendar does not show up in the calendar app, and I cannot see a way to make the contacts sync either.

I flashed the last gingerbread gapps (from last august).

Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
did you wipe cache and davlik before flashing gapps.zip
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
I will try that, then I will try just starting over.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Yea thats why wipe cache and davlik than reflash Gapps
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
It worked. I remember now that it fumbled a bit because I did not have wifi connected. The calendar and contacts are now showing in the sync settings along with gmail.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Awsome.. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aloy99:
Can I restore the data from the old original CM 7 rom backup?

Thanks :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Lord Morpheus:
I flashed this ROM on my fire and it looks great, just noticed none of my contacts or calender sync'ed ... any ideas on how to get them on my tablet? Thanx for a great ROM!!!

IGNORE :

JUST SAW SOMEONE ASKED SAME THING!!! CAN I FLASH gapps-ics-20120224-signed ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
No this is gingerbread those gapps are for ice cream sandwich
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Lord Morpheus:
Cool, where do I find gapps for gb?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
This rom has gapps already but if you need them http://goo.im/gapps
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Lord Morpheus:
cheers mate!

Is there anyway to get the notifications like ICS on cm7? and make it look totally like ICS? I have seen some people that have it like ICS but it never says how.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
Just wanted to give the dev props on this ROM. Everything just works right out of the box. Not sure why it does not seem to get the attention that some of the others do.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Totally agree with you! I've only had my KF for a couple of weeks and originally put Modaco on it. But I'm used to some form of CM on my devices and when I used smirkis' Gscript, I thought it was a neat and super easy-to-use app. So, on browsing the forum, I saw that smirkis also had a CM7 rom, which I installed around 10 days ago. This rom has been extremely solid and just plain works great. I will keep using this rom until there is a CM9 release with HWA and hopefully, no mounting issues.

Seems that smirkis just puts out stuff that simply works, minus all the hype and fluff. Maybe he needs to change the title of the OP and give this rom a catchy name, like "KF Smoke" or something. :D Or, maybe he just likes things the way they are, giving the users an excellent, steady, everyday rom. :cool:

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
lol, I just couldn't come up with a name honestly. I appreciate the kind words, I just kinda go with the flow. if I get any requests I could easily incorporate stuff, but I do like Roms that work and honestly I wanted to provide a modifyable base others can slightly tweak to their liking.

I am planning to update the few issues ive seen mentioned here soon. if anyone has any requests let me know.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
LOL I just threw that name out there off the top of my head. Where there's smoke there's fire, or where there's fire there's smoke. :p I really can't think of any requests for your update, I like being able to tweak it a bit myself on top of what you've already done.

You already mentioned that you will address the missing calendar and contacts syncing adapter apks. Maybe check out Chainfire's Supersu app to replace superuser? I installed it on my TP and it's working fine and really looks good. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

It can be d/l from Play Store but I think it would be cool if it was embedded in the rom as a system app. It does look good and it has some nice features, one being temporary unroot. Anyway, really nice work with this rom. Thanks.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] athlonxp2300:
Does anyone else have a problem with contacts sync under google account. I added the calendar sync apk and that works but if I open contacts it wants to set up a exchange server instead of syncing from the google account. Settings-Accounts&Sync-****@gmail.com only gives sync options for gmail, picasa, and calendar. not contacts.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Did you see my post just one above yours? It mentions that smirkis is aware of the missing sync apks and will address it in his next update. If you want to fix it now, just put the missing "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk" in system/app folder, same as you did for Calendar sync.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] athlonxp2300:
WOW am i blind. I read that yesterday when I was looking to install this rom. completely missed it the second time. I got GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from the gingerbread Gapps and put it in the system/apps/ folder. Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
LOL Sometimes, happens to all of us. :p Glad you got it working.

@smirkis

I know you already mentioned this in one of your posts but maybe until you put out an update, make a note in your OP to either push the sync adapter apks or just flash GB gapps??? Thanks.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
done.

added a link to gapps in first post. wipe cache n flash in recovery if you are just adding it to an existing rom. or just flash after rom on initial install in recovery. sorry for not including it lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ComputerNmyPocket:
Can someone help a noob here a little bit. My experience with flashing roms is from my Droid X2 phone. The tools and terminology are a bit different here.

In the world of DX2 development, each custom rom stated the stock rom version you HAVE TO becoming from when you flash the new rom. Maybe something to do with the DX2 locked bootloader and no custom kernal, seemed the custom roms ran the stock kernal, therefore the version of the kernal you came from was important.

Does the Kindle Fire work the same way, do I need to be on a particular stock version or particular rom before I flash this one? Or does it matter?

I went from stock 6.2.1 -> barebones CM7 rom. Now I'm wanting to try this for the overclocking potential and the menu bar looks easier to work with in the screenshots. Do I need to somehow flash back to stock 6.2.1 before I flash this rom?

Thanks for helping a noob.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
Nope just factory reset wipe cache and davlik and flash away

hi guys, I'm having three problems:

1. Wifi: won't reconnect most of the time unless I turn it off and then back on again. Same thing happens when switching networks.

2. I don't have UI hardware acceleration.

3. The automatic dimmer doesn't work. I don't know if the light sensor isn't working or if its something in the ROM.

I would really apreciatte any help with this.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DJLamontagneIII:
light sensor dosent work...wifi thing is a bug I've found in every rom It must be a kernel issue.... Try to play with the wifi sleep property's.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
when I notice it not connect, pulling down the status bar and holding the wifi shortcut opens the wifisettings. from here it always reconnects automatically. not sure why its doing it tho. could be kernel related? the light sensor is also kernel related. its noted in the kernel thread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] erad1:
I have this running smooth after coming from jcase's 6.3 rooted ROM, using Nemus launcher and various tweaks. Only problem I'm having is not being able to get a lock screen to work..following your setup tips found in recovery...not a ROM issue but could use some help, other than that this is much more familiar and way better than my KF came out of the box!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Did you check Settings, CyanogenMod Settings, Tablet Tweaks, and uncheck "Disable lockscreen"?

Yeah that's the strange part...I have that unchecked. Holo ring and minimal ring selected, still no luck.

Whats up guys. Like the title says, I'm curious how ya'll feel about restoring ICS backups. Now I'm NOT asking about restoring from GB to ICS or vise versa.

Here's where I'm at. I'm running MIJJah's ICS 1.8.1 with FC07 modem and Rouges FC 07 kernal and I've got this thing set up just the way I want it. Because I'm a flashaholic tho I want to try out Venums ICS. So If I were to make a backup and then flash Venums ICS and want to restore back to MIJJah's ICS would I be good. Oh I should say that before I flash Venums ICS I'm going to Odin back to stock, Odin CWM, yada,yada,yada, then flash Venums rom. I'm ALWAYS going to Odin back to stock before I flash any ICS rom until things get more ironed out.

I guess in general I'm asking is it alright to restore backups going from ICS to ICS. I don't recall reading anywhere about issues restoring ICS backups with Rouges recovery but in case I missed it I figured I'd ask here.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
I think it'll be fine as long as you Odin back to stock like you said. I never ran into any problems when I switched from Blazer back to Blend
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Never have I gone to stock to restore ICS. BUT to get back to GB, I do use el29 one click to get on gb. But for ics to ics your fine, no issues. You know what I do and I'm always jumping all over. The one place where the issues are is going from ics to gb builds. You don't wanna flash or restore to them, Odin to them. I know you had issues before, but your thinking correctly.

Also you don't need to go to stock before flashing venums ics, I have just wiped really well and flashed stock several times.

Team-Nocturnal Blended ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Thanks BTR. The reason I would Odin back to stock before flashing ICS is because Steady has a big old red lettered sentence in his FC07 thread stating to never flash a rom with his recovery. Anyway if you say you've had success with it I would feel a little better about doing it.

You answered my main concern though which was restoring an ICS backup from ICS.

Appreciate bro!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Any time! I personally Odin or flash his FB21 kernel for recovery to flash and what not. But only when I need it, otherwise its stock for me.

Ever since I downloaded Joelz BAMF ICS 0.6 ROM the HTC Visual VM app keeps force closing when I try to listen to my VM. I can see it there and every other function works within the app from what I can tell. Is everyone else having this problem as well or is it just me? I don't want to use another app, so if someone has a working version can you please up it or let me know what to do to fix this issue? I do not want to update the ROM for one annoyance either if it can be avoided. Thanks!
