Nightly server should be running correctly now. So, every night you should see a repo sync'd build of CM9 build w/ 3.0.31+ kernel using the Linaro toolchain (2012-06).

http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/otter/cm9/

Enjoy.

I'll try and setup an AOKP automated build as well soon.

My biggest wish is to see this title on this thread: "Charging icon is now working"

BTW can I flash the new kernel on GedeRom? Where can I download the kernel?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
Why is everyone obsessed with charging animation? The only reason I wish it would work, is so people would quit bringing it up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
I don't care about the color Changing. I just wanna know that Im charging =p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
use the oem charger and u will never question if its charging. never.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
It frustrates me that I have to use my stock charger to charge my kindle, especially when I lost the piece of thing...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] XzinteR:
I don't use the stock charger and I never have. It used the wrong type of socket. I've used around 3 different chargers and they've all worked great

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Any charger will work. I lost my Fires charger the day I bought it and I've used the chargers from my Touchpad, MAXX and DX as well as a convenient store cheapy car charger and they all work fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] z0mghii:
The problem I had was when my Kindle died, I would not be able to charge it unless I used the stock charger. My other charges did not give enough power to keep the kindle from shutting down..

[Kindle Fire Android Development] rysk29:
possible bug

Thanks for all you do in the kindle fire scene!

i am noticing flash video in all browsers are really buggy... most of the time i get no video (black screen) and just sound.. is flash support for this still a WIP.. or is this a CM9 problem or kernel?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] incognico:
Flash sucks anyways and will dropped on 4.1.

I experience problems with it too but sound works well. Basically in the browser its dead slow and sucky and in 3rd party apps which use the browser with flash I only see 1/4 of the video for example.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spraveen:
Try installing adobe flash from market. It fixes the flash bug in browsers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
Flash works fine with ics browser, chrome doesn't support it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] southbird:
Kind of sucks that Adobe's being difficult and people are being forced to stop Flash cold-turkey. The truth is, the Internet is too Flash-oriented all over the place, we're just not ready to abandon it outright yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Don't worry, of course some devs will make Flash running on JB :D.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Hash, just a little question: does the updater-script of the ROM backups GApps while flashing like on other devices (SGS for example)? Because I flash them everytime after the ROM :p.

Thanks :).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
It does, there's no need to re-flash gapps. It's backed up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Yeah OK thanks, that's what I thought :).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] e495957:
Hey Hash I'm looking on the official site www.get.cm where I know you're contributing code but I don't see "otter" along the list of devices.

I'm not sure who maintains CM's official site but we should let them know so you don't have to run your own server and such.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Hey hash,

Just finished downloading the source .... and I would love to start playing around with a build.

However, my build/compile experience is pretty much limited to CM ... but I guess the readme of the kfire/android_local_manifest aosp branch is a good start.

If there's anything else I need to be aware of please let me know.

Thx

First everyone please type correctly. Second this kernel should not be used as a daily driver. It is a WIP! Bug reporting is great. But don't chastise faulty behavior from a WIP! Expect many bugs, I mean like a lot of bugs .that is the point of these guys beta testing you know? Flash the new kernel, check for bugs , report , and then flash back to the old kernel until the proprietor fixes the issues for a final release. That is it. The only reason developers release software into the wild is for the public to test for bugs on devices and then to report back with bug reports. Please stop the nonsense.

P.S: this was only for those impatient, non-supporting freeloading sacks that love to criticise great progress.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Of course this kernel can be used as a daily driver - and it is by many, either running this or another rom based on hashcode's work.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks Hash!

Quick questions - the jb branches of the device and vendor repos ... are they usable for CM/jellybean as well or are these fixes restricted just for aosp?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sthomas38:
Couldn't mounting SD card be achieved by using volf.stab from CM9 in this build ? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Yes: the device project will is sort of setup for both AOSP and what will be CM10.

For the SD card: I'm using all of the same CM9 settings for vold and the storage_list.xml in the overlay.

The error is:

Hey Hash! Apparently the USB mass storage that I can enable from the settings is not working anymore, same with the mount option in TWRP. I cannot connect my Fire to the computer anymore (at least to transfer files - charging ok) It used to work with the 2nd to last ROM before you made it into a nightly build server thing

NEVER MIND - it was my own stupidity - i changed the build.prop and didnt change it back
[Kindle Fire Android Development] southbird:
Described here
[Kindle Fire Android Development] e495957:
Hashcode, shouldn't we work on getting CM9 officially to the K-Fire and then work on JellyBean? I know we're so close to having it as a nightly on CM's website, I feel we might be taking too much and never get this device ever officially supported.

IDK what the heck is wrong with these unofficial builds, but I just tried to install the latest version and I'm stuck on the CM bootscreen. What gives? Has this project and porting this project to be an official CM build been abandoned in favor of jelly bean and CM10 or what?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AluminumHaste:
Well it's a long shot but I'm guessing it's due to pebkac. Try formatting SD Card completely and copying over the necessary files again then installing. I tried this Rom a while ago and while I had no issues I went back to Hashcodes stock CM9.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Probably user error
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sidthegreatest:
Press the Power switch for 20 seconds or so, your kindle will power down. Then go into recovery & try flashing it again. Flash the Dalvik, cache & if this doesn't work, a full erase/factory reset should work.

Does VPN work on CM9?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I've been quite busy lately, but these nightlies will soon(tm) be rolled over to CM10 when I get time to change the build up in ROMbot.

Also, remember, these are nightly builds. Not every one of them will work. Some of the commits done by the CM crew cause boot issues and other nonsense, but they're usually fixed before the next nightly.

I have never abandoned my goal of getting the Kindle Fire's device files merged into CM's repo. I just haven't been able to dedicate any real time to fixing the charging issue, which is a requirement by the CM team.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Hash,

Thanks for everything... I only flash the roms you upload here... will you put cm10 here as a compiled zip?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] twa_priv:
I tried building CM10 using the jb device branch - no luck so far. After commenting out the cm overlays it compiles successfully but the device keeps staying on the boot animation. The reason is that zygote dies and restarts because of this error (I think):

Hascode thank you, that is great. Take your time, but I hope all these other devs are helping you fix the charging issue and will eventually help transition over to CM. It sounds like they want to do everything by themselves, which is very counter-productive when you look at the big picture.

I second this although I didn't save the log so I don't know what went wrong in CWM. Anyways, just use TWRP in boot mode if you don't want to replace CWM. :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] intersectRaven:
Thanks! Although I must say that I can only work on this during weekends. :p

Also, you should add a critical issue at the OP that this can't go to deep sleep. It should make some people who're thinking of using it as their main ROM without contributing back to do a double take since it's quite a significant thing in my opinion. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gedemis:
I've tried building several times and flashing in CWM.. And getting stuck in bootloops all the time.

A couple of minutes ago i changed recovery to TWRP using the following procedure:

Download http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/fire/twrp-fire-2.1.0.img

Reboot into fastboot(from CWM)

Install the new recovery using the following command: "fastboot flash recovery <path>/twrp-fire-2.1.0.img"

Execute the command "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000"

Followed by "fastboot reboot"

Now enter recovery as usual and flash the desired ROM

Congratz on booting the new 3.0 kernel!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Mine also wouldn't get past boot animation on cwm but booted fine 1st time with twrp 2.0:-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TexasRules777:
Yea tried multiple times with CWM..no dice. Reinstalled TWRP and all is golden..loving where this is going!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Btw, I'm not ignoring the CWRecovery issues. It's just not as high priority as some of the other fixes. Once I get more time, I'll get CWRecovery working.

It could be that our current version needs a bugfix and that will take time to compile and put out for the community.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TexasRules777:
No sweat..its easy enough to switch recovery's.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] backspacepc:
I'm not sure why but CWM is not unpacking it correctly, which is why it won't boot. I'm currently trying to learn how it was built in an effort to see why its unpacking it the way it is. Looks like both of our recoveries have bugs now. I've never been a big fan if CWM. Its never completely worked on any device I've owned.

Can you tell if the ROM is getting flash, but the boot.img isn't? Or is it partial?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] intersectRaven:

Yes! Its either /tmp or /cache I think and named recovery_log
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ammubarak:
The log file is at /cache/recovery/last_log
[Kindle Fire Android Development] backspacepc:
Well here's the kicker, in the log it shows as successful, BUT its always an incomplete flash. It will flash the ROM but somewhere along the lines the boot.img gets corrupted during flash. I haven't had a chance to see exactly what gets corrupted because I've changed all 3 devices over to TWRP. I will be changing back so I can play with it some more.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] intersectRaven:
Are you sure that only the boot.img was corrupted in the flash attempt? If it's only that, maybe there's something wrong with the updater binary packaged with the zip? :confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I wonder if CWRecovery has never flashed kernels correctly.

I mean how would you really tell unless you were doing specific testing?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
Lol hash, im feeling pretty stupid, but my wifi modules that i built for my kernel, where do they go? Ive had a busy and rough day. So im a couple drinks in.... all compiling and coding is done on my part. just trying to figure out this. also what about the wifi drivers?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] erikiksaz:
Hopefully this helps, but I've noticed that upon flashing hashcode's ROM with CWM, that after the bootloop, when I eventually go back into CWM, the kernel version never changes from 2.6.35.7 (I think that's it, I don't have my device in front of me).

I'd imagine this would show differently if the new kernel version actually took.
