Upcoming changes in the next nightly from CM:

- 2 sound commits were reverted to restore full functionality to the headset port. Let me know if you see improvement when connecting headphones.

- I went ahead and migrated all of my sensor changes from the 3.4 kernel into the 3.0 kernel along w/ the device setup changes necessary to use them. This includes a now usable (somewhat) light sensor in the Android OS. I've noticed that the sensor doesn't always work correctly, and will have to dig a bit deeper to see what's going wrong.

if I get time, I'm also going to port over the backlight driver as well which should fix the sleep of death issues where the backlight stays on.

EDIT: updated the OP w/ changes
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Have I told you lately that I love you?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wws12:
Does this mean the mic works now? If so, :)

Nope. No Mic yet.

It seems something to do with latest sensor changes but I'm not sure of it... also my build having exactly same issue. Here is a logcat http://pastebin.com/ataYpNXb

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/3e8e61d3394ca9f0d92d95d6789287818f288c04

Can you test that change in your own build and make sure it works there as well? It worked for me in mine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FuZZ__:
Thanks for quick fixing, I will test that when I get home :)

EDIT: Verified, works like a charm.

Build Update:

Today, I added a new backlight driver (I pulled it from the 3.4 kernel I've been developing). It's based on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9's backlight driver where I added a few more configuration options.

All Android userspace drivers (lights.otter.so and the recovery references) were fixed to point to the new location of the sysfs backlight entries as well.

This should help w/ some of the backlight at max issues. Obviously this needs testing.

Look for it in 2013-05-26 builds and later from:

http://get.cm/?device=otter
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wws12:
I wanted to mention a few things I found with this build. Not necessarily problems, just some observations. First off, when I installed the 5-26 nightly upgrading from 5-25, the "Optimizing Android apps" stage only optimized 23 apps instead of the usual 100 or so. When it finished, I noticed that my WiFi would not turn on. Thankfully, another reboot seemed to fix this issue. Also, reboot to recovery seems broken again on this build and are you still working on fixing the EHCI slow USB transfer bug? Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere for a while. Thanks for all that you do for the KF, among many other devices. :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooklynNY:
What happened that I had to find this at twa's ROM thread?

Sad...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I'm not sure what happened with twa_priv. Tho, I know his presence here will be missed. :/

Also, there's a new kernel patch in the next nightly.

I added an override setting for when nominal voltage values are not pulled from the OMAP chips efuse settings.

For instance, when the Kindle Fire 1st gen looks up data for the CPU freq, in most cases it's missing a nominal voltage setting for 1.2ghz. Where the Kindle Fire 2nd gen has this entry in the CPU's efuse registers. Obviously w/o this setting the SmartReflex driver falls back to a previous voltage entry and can cause an undervolt scenario.

This is a general stability patch and doesn't affect performance at all that I've seen. It's also a backport from the 3.4 kernel where the nvalue is more important and the SmartReflex driver has changed somewhat.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wws12:
What bug would you say is most important to fix right now?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Bugs in the 3.4 kernel:

- Sound debugging / MIC fixes

- SmartReflex loop during shutdown

- OmapDSS_DPI device issue causing deep sleep to fail

- Custom HD codec binary for 512mb RAM

- Finish charger driver re-write for OTG support

== win and relaunch of new KFire builds
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
Going to bring new life to you device. Thank you.

Do you think you could upload a .zip later? And put it on thr 3.4 thread? My laptop takes ages to build everytime you make changes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spooky75:
Only right speaker produces sounds. :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chykal:
I noticed this too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] firered365:
Two questions:

What is the hardware path?

and

What is the kernel repo.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
Why would you expect someone using this ROM to check any downstream ROMs? If anything it's useful because it verifies that the bug is not ROM related.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
This link is no longer valid? Has something changed, or is there somewhere else I should look.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
Because they all use the same kernel?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sagnam:
Should we check the CM10.1 thread for every device because they use the same ROM? I would think this would be the main place to check for kernel issues since this is the thread created by the kernel dev.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
But don't more users use twa_privs rom? There is a lot more discussion in there?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I'll check the headphones output.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
I'll update the OP links in a bit as well. In most cases users can "brunch otter" using the CM repo and all of the otter sources get pulled automatically.

EDIT: 2nd post now updated for the CM10.1 build.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
In regards to the wifi issues: there is an issue with the current wifi drivers on the kernel for 10.1...

In both my own tests and tests performed by my boss we've been able to determine that the KF is actually crashing the wireless radio on certain routers (some Arris cable routers are included in that list).

I talked to Hashcode about this a few weeks ago and he confirmed there is something fishy going on in the wireless drivers but has been unable to nail down exactly what.

If you are experiencing issues w/ wireless crashing please attempt to get the last kmsg and a logcat of what's happening on the crash, I've been meaning to do this myself as well but have been dealing with some shenanigans the more information we get on this the more likely we can find a fix.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
There's not too much you can get me at the moment which would help. I'm sort of guessing at what to try next.

Right now the changes were to use the KFire2's nv.bin (based on the .ini file setup for KFire2) the next idea I have is to force a full recalibrate of that nv bin on the first boot after a flash. This might fix up any issues which are specific to a set of Kindles.

I don't think this has been mentioned yet, and I don't know why not. A volume slider on the top bar, I'm not sure what it's called, I forgot. But anyway, the KF doesn't have volume buttons, and I didn't see an app to add a slider there.
