Would you check your build.prop for me? Botbrew checks your ro.product.device line, which for kindle fire should be otter.

After refresh, the package list should be in the 230s for the Fire after refresh, as well.

It would seem to be something in your configuration, as it seems the other users have the packages available.

If somebody else with Botbrew wouldn't mind, would you select clean archives from the settings menu and then refresh packages? If all of the kindle packages still show up for you, then we would know it is a configuration issue for kenikh, and not something else, like Dropbox server issues (where the repo is ran from).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kenikh:
Ask and ye shall receive:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
I'm not about to try and count them but I'm sure I have around 230 packages available.

BTW this is a brilliant idea. I can't wait to see how it gets implemented.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kenikh:
Direct link 404s...

http://dl.dropbox.com/48965241/u/mateorodrepo

http://dl.dropbox.com/48965241/u/mateorodrepo
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
Well, my direct links are configured a little differently, and do download, which doesn't solve the problem of why they aren't showing up in your package list.

Note the position of the "u" as well as the package names themselves.

Pdroid+V6

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48965241/ma...ework-pdroid-v6-cm9hashcode_1.3.2-8_otter.opk

PDroid only

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48965241/mateorodrepo/android-framework-pdroid-cm9hashcode_1.3.2-8_otter.opk

Try these and we'll see if Botbrew updates your package list later. There is always the possibility that Dropbox was having some sort of issue.

I was just able to download both of the packages using these links.

When you click the link, Botbrew can install them directly from the browser or any file manager.

Oh and thanks to the others for chiming in! If you ever (I don't know when :p) need to know how many packages are available, simply press the refresh packages link and the number of packages will show in a toast.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kenikh:
That worked. Curious that it didn't work without using your links, which targeted a file instead of a directory, like mine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
Yeah, I don't know if Dropbox will let you download an uncompressed directory. Maybe, but I feel like I have had trouble with trying to do that before.

When I use the Dropbox folder as a repo, I am actually generating a group of files, including one called Packages.gz, which is almost like a manifest, and intializes the Dropbox directory as a repo. It is something like the process you might go through when intialializing a git repository, but in reverse.

Did any of the other android-framework-pdroid packages ever end up showing up in your package list?

And if not, would you mind pasting in the contents of the /botbrew/etc/opkg/arch.config file?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kenikh:
I just looked - after hitting refresh, they now all show up. Not sure if grabbing the one you linked to manually and installing thru Botbrew unstuck the gears...but they're there now. I luvz kumpyuterz.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
hi thanks for this.

need a little clarification please.

when i come to choose which pakage the 1st one on the list is "android-framework-pdroid-cm9hashcode" (which is the rom that I'm on) but in smaller font underneath it say's "for kindle fire cm9-reloaded roms only!system .jar to enable PDroid on Android 4.0.4 (ics),".

my question is: is this the right one for me when I'm on hashcodes new cm9 rom?.

thanks in advance.

Steve

P.S thanks in advance :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kenikh:
That's the one - installed it yesterday on Hash's #10 ROM and works great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
I can see why that would be confusing! lol.

Something must have slipped by in the editing phase. I will correct it soon, thanks.

and just a reminder, if any of the roms get updated, give the packages a shot, and let us know how it goes. It usually works for sseveral updates, but if the package needs to be updated, I can do that stat.

Thanks everyone.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kenikh:
And FWIW, Hashcode #10 ROM FLIES on v6. I'm running at setting #7 with Nitro enabled and absolutely love it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
all sorted

working awesome thanks again:-)

When I updated to the new gederom when I install everything. It just stays on the boot screen and will never boot. Just a heads up
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kenikh:
I just flashed hash's new 5-26 kernel and everything worked great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
Wait, I was about to update the packages, but you say it works once you install the hashcode kernel, huh?

The packages do interact with the kernel, that is for sure. Interesting. Okay, so kenikh has discovered something interesting for us.

If you use the newest GedeRom build, please flash the kernel before using the packages!

I will add that info to the OP later today. Thanks kenikh!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kenikh:
I just double confirmed from the terminal. After kernel flash, 100% supercharged, all init.d settings intact.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
Okay, I have given this some thought and am going to see how this goes, as I don't have a kindle and cannot test the software...

I know that GedeRom just updated to a newer version, one that is incompatible with the packages that are in the Botbrew repo.

However, if I am understanding this correctly, Gedemis highly encourages that you flash hashcode's kernel to repress bugs and with that kernel flash, the old packages still work. Is that right, kenikh?

I made some packages for the 1.40 Gedemis rom. I have added them to the repo. If anyone installs the packages over a Gedemis rom w/the hashcode kernel and it doesn't work, please report back and we'll try something else.

You'll see an upgrade button if you already have the packages installed, only upgrade if you are now running the new build!

I am pretty sure this will be the way to go. If the current system apps work with the kernel, then our modded ones will too.

Thanks for reporting back, guys!

The packages are available for the stable and experimental builds of Botbrew.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kenikh:
I was reading back over this and want to make sure there's no confusion. I am NOT using GedeROM, I am using HASHCODE's ROM and flashed the the new kernel to his ROM, not the GedeROM. V6 was still 100% operational on Hash's ROM with the new kernel flashed.

If this was a point of confusion caused by my post, sorry.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iesvs:
New twa-priv ROM?

Hi. Would it be possible to make a version for this new ROM? Thanks for being awesome.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
Well, I tried it, and my current patch set didn't work. It looks like the changes are pretty much exclusively to the frameworks, which also happens to be what my patches operate on. Our auto-patcher doesn't work on it either, of course. Let me look at it. If it would be easy to build, maybe I'll put together a Nook Color build and then make some patches from that. No promises as not yet, though.

Thanks for the suggestion, though!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iesvs:
No problem, dude. My gedeROM supercharger was launching upon boot of this new ROM and it kept bringing up the help text file over and over because it couldn't run the script. VERY annoying, but I killed it. At the moment I'm torn between reverting to gedeROM keeping the supercharger, or leaving it as-is and keeping the insanely-awesome-and-convenient navbar widgets. I haven't taken any computer classes since high school (since our school's tech budget was crap we only had BASIC), so I have no idea how long something like this takes, but if there's one thing I've learned from Kindle-modding it's BE PATIENT. It's always worth the wait. Thanks again for your monumental awesomeness :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Badgerino:
I tried with the latest gederom update last night and it did the same thing so I wiped everything and reflashed gederom.

Haven't tried anything else as of yet.

Interested to see if anyone has gotten it to work with gederom.

I did notice right before it rebooted after install that it said something about downloading pdroid from the Play store.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
From the OP:

However, I will consider your post a request for Gederom and will update the packages.

The way I look at it, I posted that they were available for use. But if no one reports when a package is out of date, I wasn't going to keep it up for no reason.

This way I am only updating packages I know are being used and not wasting my time monitoring ROM upgrades and creating software that will just sit there and literally not be touched.

I'll post when the Gederom packages are upgraded. Shouldn't be too long.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Badgerino:
Yeah, I figured it had to do with the update. Just wasn't sure if anyone got it working w/ even the older versions.

Appreciate the effort and work. Not complaining :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
Oh no, I wasn't pissy.:p

I just used it as an excuse to repost the info. I didn't want to artifically resurrect a thread that might have been dying, so I only posted that info on the OP.

Since you bumped it with your interest, I figured I would use the opportunity to alert people that the packages were only going to be updated so long as someone requested it. I'm glad you asked about it!

The packages are syncing to the repo right now. Should be available to install any moment. Update Done!

To make sure you are installing the correct package, ensure that the last two digits (the version number) are 10.

I also added a Gederom package that enables the V6 only.

The packages for the 6-12 update of Gederom

V6 only

android-framework-services-v6-gederom 0.0.4-10

Pdroid only

android-framework-pdroid-gedemis-1.3.2-10

Pdroid+V6

android-framework-pdroid-v6-gedemis 1.3.2-10

Please make sure that the packages are all version 10 before install. If you don't see version 10, please Clean Archives in the Botbrew settings and refresh the package list.

All packages are available in both versions of Botbrew, stable (Anise or root) and experimental (Basil with dpkg-apt).

Installation instructions can be found on the first post.

Any chance you could make it for this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704132
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
thanks for the clarification.

i used v6 and pdroid on a previous rom a couple of weeks ago (awesome, thanks)

but i got the chip lockup bug. and had to wait for my new kindle, when i tried a different rom they didn't work for me and i also saw you had the same bug:-( i presumed that was the end of your work.

glad to here you are keeping some packages upto date:-)

im using eyecandy rom right now and would love to try these out on it,

I will look into the eyecandy ROM tonight. It just depend on how far afield it is from AOKP, AOSP or CM9

Same for this ROM.

I just have to download the ROMS and see if any of my existing patch sets will work for them. The odds are good, but for some reason I have a problem with some of the combo ROMS. The ServerThread class has been giving me problems and I have yet to spend the time to get to the bottom of it.

But I will give them both a shot.:D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nofear0705:
Thanks man your awesome
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
Okay I was successful in making packages for both EyeCandy ICS and Glazed ICS.

There are three packages in the repo for each ROM. I have made the packages for both Google Play versions of Botbrew, so you can be as adventurous as you want with that. I will say that Botbrew Basil is coming along great (c'mon...dpkg-apt on your tablet? awesome.) and you shouldn't have any problems using the experimental builds. But it is still missing some features so YMMV.

The packages enable PDroid or the V6 by itself, or you can install a package that enables BOTH!. This is the only way to have multiple homebrew mods like this outside of editing the code yourself!

The list of packages is on the OP. I know it seems like a bunch of info, but that was done to stave off any questions or misunderstanding.

It's easy

install Botbrew

install repository-mateorod

refresh packages

choose and install your package

reboot.

That's it in a nutshell.

Go to the OP for a detailed run down of the process and the list of available packages.

Got everything installed but can't get V6 to run from terminal after reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
It's in the OP, but I should have made it clear above as well.

Zeppelinrox asks that the script only be distributed by him, at his thread. You will need to download it there. Look for the link in the first post.

Download the script and save it on your device. Open a terminal and navigate to where you have it stored. Then enter

su
sh V6*

There is a link to a configuration guide I wrote for the Nook Color at the first post of this the should you need it. But it isn't too hard. For the Kindle, option 7 is the most popular, the most aggressive setting.

There are some newer options that have been added since I wrote the guide, but they are sufficiently explained within the script. The guide was written quite awhile ago when the script wasn't quite as easy to understand.

Note. In the configuration guide, should you choose to use it, there are nook specific instructions at the beginning. Skip ahead to the part after the script is running.

Good luck.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Badgerino:
Yeah I have the script but I guess I'm not running it correctly. Tried terminal and script manager. Sm gives me a busy box error.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
You know what, I was having trouble with my busybox on Nook's CM9 as well, but I thought it was specific to our ROM.

Is it an awk error?

Try updating your busybox with this flashable zip from zeppelinrox's pal wraithdu.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
You actually have to roll back busybox to 1.6? Or lower. You can use busybox installer and download any release of busybox you want. You will have to check the op of the supercharge v6 thread to see exactly what versions of busybox works

Edit: it has to be busybox 1.16.2 or above... I was way off. I haven't used it for ever. It does make your device a little smoother. But it kills multitasking. Which I appreciate more.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
Thanks, I don't have a kindle so I am unfamiliar with your roms and their innards, especially those not CM9 which nia really all we have after Gingerbread on the Nook.

Now that it is for sure the busy box, we're alright. I'll add the flashable zip to the OP as I know it is compatible with the v6.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i had problems, i tried the starter kit for v6.

i then downloaded the right file, its down as a pdf. at the bottom of his downloads.

after i installed the right script it worked like a dream.

hope this helps

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Badgerino:
What do you mean by this exactly?

I'll try the busybox fix later.

I'm not sure I was following the terminal instructions properly though. When it says "navigate to where you saved the script" does that just mean use a file explorer program to go to that directory?

I'm assuming, yes, but then what? I open Terminal Emulator and type in the command instructed but it does nothing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mrizvi66:
ok i'm totally stuck.

i'm running:

I've installed the following packages:

PDroid AND v6 supercharger for Gedemis

i downloaded the script and put it in my download folder on the kindle but when i go to run the script in terminal with the "su v6*" command in the folder where the script is located it doesn't do anything.

please help me :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Badgerino:
Glad it's not just me :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
dl script manager from market and use that.

(click on root at the top of screen within app).

extract v6 script on pc desktop and copy and paste to sdcard.

edit. i used the test 16 script from zeppelinrox's thread (which is linked in the op).

(rightclick on it and "save link as")

then run script manager, then extract to desktop, copy and paste to sdcard, then open script manager and find dl, highlight root at the top and execute dl.

the v6 script should start to run.

follow on screen guide.

Is it necessary to use a PC? I was trying just from the KF itself.

Also, there is a Test 17 version in case you didn't see it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
no idea mate, i struggled a little too.

maybe copy and past dl from downloads to root of sdcard

Thanks to lovejoy777 for helping people get through running the script. I will look into what is causing you guys trouble, I know that works for my device. Maybe it is due to the different location of our sd cards.

If people are still stuck, go ahead and post for help. I don't know the ins and outs of the V6 like I used to, so it is good to see your community reach out to each other.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
Can you add Modaco Gr9 please :) Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
I will look into it today.

Update The odds of the PDroid packages being successful are pretty slim. Due to the wide differences between different manufacturers use of the source tree, stock ROMs have proven quite difficult to patch in this manner. They can easily be patched at the build stage, but not after compiling.

I have some AOSP roms patched (maguro, toro, crespo and some others) but the patches just don't seem to port too well.

This MoDaCo web app is pretty neat, though.

Botbrew itself is a package manager, as I have said, and one of the really cool things about Basil is the entirety of the Debian package library is theorectically available.

But the homebrew applications are equally exciting. That is what the packages offered on this thread are a part of. Sometime soon, we can expect to see devs begin to package different parts of their ROMs as debian packages. Release of those pieces through something like Botbrew could begin to do the same thing as this web app, except not tied to a monolithic chunk.

Think about it like this...you have your existing ROM, which you like, but then you see aother ROM that has a custom status bar you like. You could, through Botbrew, simply install the pieces of that ROM that look attractive while keeping your current install.

Or you could create your own custom ROM from the ground up, using all the available bits and pieces from every ROM.

I like this web app a lot, it is where I personally foresee the Android experience going.

...Anyway...

It is a no go on all packages for any stock or version thereof. I even decompiled it and tried to apply the changes by hand. It would take a pretty in-depth look to even know if it was possible to do or not. I have a compiled version that has half of the necessary changes applied, but that was as good as I could do.

Sorry, MoDaCo users...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TahrirSquare:
No problem on Modaco, Glazed 6-16 update please. Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mateorod:
The Botbrew repos have been updated with the 6-16 update of GlazedICS.

On the second post of this thread I have added a download list of packages for older ROMs. Right now only the 6-14 Glazed ICS is on it, but I will continue to maintain that list for those of you who do not flash every update.

Thanks for the tip on the update! If anyone's ROM gets an update, please let me know in the thread. I don't have a Kindle, so I am not always going to be up on which ROMs update and when!

Thanks all.
