Had to do that anyway and yes, it seems that the tablet is indeed charging when I leave it alone :good:

One thing I noticed is that if you lock the screen while on the battery page and then turn it back on, the status actually reads "charging" briefly (about 1-2 seconds) before reverting to "discharging".
[Kindle Fire Android Development] meghd00t:
2 points

a. the original adapter will work with 220V all you need is a world multi plug adapter not a step down transformer I am using mine in a power strip fine here in India which is 220V 50Hz AC power.

b. the original adapter puts out 1.8A this enables fast charging, ie the kindle will go from 0% to 100% in less than 4 Hrs (anywhere from 3:10 to 3:40 for me), but when connected or a PC or phone charger it will charge at 500 mA, so it takes overnight with the screen off

The orange light is the one to trust, leave it plugged in to a usb over night and it will turn green.

The only problem you may have is if it goes into deep discharge 0%, then you need the 1.8A charger or it will boot loop for a long time trying to charge and seeing that the battery is low it will reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I have found that I need to plug in the charger, light flashes, and then unplug and plug in again. I have been doing this ever since I rooted and installed the roms, and I have no problems charging. I do use the wall plug, but when I am backing up to my computer, kindle also says it is charging in the battery menu. I recommend plug-unplug-plug. And, stock kindle is no tablet!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jfb9301:
while I don't use JB, I have functionally the same charging issues with ICS

Boot to recovery and charge there. It took me a little more than an hour to charge almost 50% this morning.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mordrukk:
Charging has been inconsistent for a while now, I think since the 3.0 kernel came out for ICS a while back.

If you plan on charging it, just boot to TWRP and charge from there. The charge lights are consistent, and IMO, it charges quickly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] roothorick:
It's only the most obvious symptom of a deeper problem that causes less obvious but more annoying issues, like battery stats pane not working correctly (lolol 4 days on battery), "Keep display on while charging" not doing anything, and the device refusing to stay on to charge if the battery is critically low (the workaround is to boot into recovery and let recovery charge it, but that's pretty obnoxious).

Im sorry if I highjacked this forum with such a noobish question....

just bought the wife a kindle fire off of Craigslist last night. been searching the internet learning about ROMS. i see CM7, CM9, now Hash's JellyBean ROM. I am familiar with rooting... as my EVO has seen its fair share of custom Rom reloads.

But as for the Kindle Fire,

Can someone send me to the best link/location with detailed instructions on how to root it.

Secondly, does Hash's Jelly Bean 4.1.1_r1 for the Kindle Fire [07-13] have everything working (i.e. netflix, hulu, videos) minus the battery meter icon.

Finally, is it true that I can only charge the kindle via USB into a computer????any computer?

sorry for being dumb and I will refrain from super-noobish questions/comments in the future.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pbailey212:
Read the stickies. Kindle fire utility is a simple way to obtain root. I have no idea where you heard that it can only be charged via computer USB, but that its not true. You can charge it in the wall. Netflix and I assume hulu work just fine

Does Google Now work for anyone? I've factory reset/wipe dalvik+cache, Cleared Data+Cache of Google Search and it still flat out crashes on launch.

Sorry if this was answered before I tried the search but got no result.

Edit: As suggested by Veeman below after clearing cache/data for Google Search, launch search and when it asks if you want to provide location etc Select 'Maybe later'

Reason for this bug is at present Apps requesting location are crashing due to a wifi bug.

Thx, should have been more precise with my question.

What do I need to change to get the tablet UI and probably screen rotaion on the home screen. Just installed this rom and haapy with it. Would prefer doing modification instead of another rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
I believe it's the LCD density.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AtomicFizzle:
BMW

For people who are still upset about battery charging status... you could always just use this:

http://www.3c71.com/android/?q=node/1

For me it's always correctly reported charging status- in both ICS and JB roms. It's pretty good about calculating estimated times to full charge & discharge, after you've used it for a while. I usually turn off the system battery icon in roms that allow me to and just use this instead. And no, it's not my app and I don't work for them. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] roothorick:
Well, Netflix and Hulu SHOULD in theory work, but you'll have to try it yourself. We're definitely playing videos just fine in e.g. YouTube.

That's hardly everything though. Google Now is confirmed to NOT work due to a WiFi problem (connectivity and Internet works but it's not reporting certain critical things to location services); actually, most apps that depend on location services just up and crash right now, for the same reason. So, no, not everything is working.

If it's any comfort, it's not all that hard to get back to stock, as long as you know what you're doing. Install latest TWRP or Doomlord's CWM, make a full backup, and go to town, I say.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wws12:
Hey Hash, I have a question on the development of the 3.0 kernel. How are things coming along? Will the charging issues be fixed soon? I know you probably get this question alot but I was just wondering how much progress is being made. Awesome ROM, btw!

Set density to 130, makes the home screen rotate and activates tablet UI. Only issue now is, that home screen can not fully be used, BIG margins on top and bottom in portrait mode ...

switched back to 160 and phoneUI ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animez:
Netflix kinda works, it plays and looks fine, but it kinda freezes up for a second every so often and can be irritating. Hulu, HBO Go and Xfinity Play can be loaded but will not play video. I assume the problem is the apps need to be updated for JB. Not sure what the deal is with Netflix.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chrisliphart:
I've had no issues at all with Netflix. I use it everyday and haven't seen any skipping or freezing on my end.

These aren't issues I've hit at all.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Killemalll:
The LCD density in the build.prop is set at 160. That's already below the threshold that triggers tablet mode (240 dpi I think) but some apps still show in phone mode (i.e. Google Talk). I'm not sure why.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Netflix is really smooooove for me.

The CNN news app FCs though.

That threshold is for ICS. The threshold that triggers tablet mode is different for jellybean.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] tundrwd:
After some trials and tribulations - I now have JB 4.1.1_r1 installed and generally working. Thanks much to Hashcode for providing this. I'll relate my findings (although some are already known):

Google search is failing. This is using the gapps-JB-20120710.zip file (known - seems some have a fix?).

Charging light does not work - although charging

Netflix app has issues. Loads fine and will play, but when scrolling around, covers don't get painted, so once you're past the initial load, all you see are grey rectangles, no cover art. I'm assuming this is an app issue, and not something in JB 4.1.1_r1?

Not entirely sure - but volume seems diminished with JB 4.1.1_r1. Volume adjustment works - but things don't seem quite as loud.

There have been rumors that the KF has a bluetooth chip in it. JB 4.1.1_r1 won't turn BT on. So - is there really a BT chipset in the KF, and all that's needed is the appropriate driver? Or did they hamstring it in hardware somehow?

Overall impressions - it's quick. Seems much quicker than stock KF OS. Very nice interface/UI. MUCH, MUCH preferred over stock bookshelf metaphor in stock OS.k The carousel was, and is, a ridiculous idea IMHO. Wifi worked fine.

Some questions:

On the lock screen, you touch the control and slide over to unlock, or Google, or camera. Obviously, the KF has no camera. Can this icon be replaced with something useful? Can one add other icons/apps to this unlock button to immediately run/access an app from a screen lock?

I know the UI is defined in portrait mode, and won't rotate - is there anyway to accomplish that?

Is there a document/reference somewhere on just how to use the UI/interface/desktop? I'd like to explore options, etc. on what can be done.

I'm assuming Live Wallpaper will consume more battery over time, and the amount is relative to how "live" the Live Wallpaper is?

When 4.1.1 goes "gold", I'm assuming that re-flashing will make me lose all my apps/settings. Is there anyway to get "just the fixes" as well as a complete ROM, so I can flash the final fixes without losing everything? Important to know, so I know just how crazy to get loading things up, etc. No sense wasting a lot of time.

I'll probably come up with some more questions over time.

Dude awesome questions but I would like to know as well
[Kindle Fire Android Development] veeman:
When you first start up Google now, if you choose Maybe later instead of yes I'm in, you can use it as a search.

No you can't change lock screen because this is an aosp ROM. No customizations.

Use a third party launcher like Apex to get rotation.

It depends on how much processing power is required to run the live wallpaper.

As long as you don't do a factory reset you will not lose your apps. If you do need to use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data.

Hopefully that answered some of your questions.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tundrwd:
Just thought of another:

I never zapped the SD card when I flashed the ROM - obviously because there ain't no SD card, and I'd lose the ROM. So I still have the old original KF "crap" in the SD card mount.

What's the best approach to cleaning all that out?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] diba320:
For "tablet mode" I recommend this version http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766829 "[ROM][AOSP][7/15/2012] Jelly Bean Tablet Edition aka Project Jandycane" from lithium76. I flashed this version just over hashcodes 4.1.1r1 only wiping dalvik without issues. Like the tablet version much more.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
I was having a huge problem with this last night, to the point I couldn't do anything else. Reboots didn't help. Going into App maanagement and clearing the cache (didn't have to do data), and then force closing the app cleared it up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tundrwd:
Thanks for the replies - still digesting the answers, but I did apply the gapps zip you linked to. I applied using TWRP 2.2.0 (wiping dalvik cache before and after application), rebooted from within TWRP, and when the KF booted up, I got a message that "Android was being updated", something like 103 files. Is that correct?

So the gapps were put into the system in a fashion that they updated the existing apps, running pre/post scripts, etc.? If so - neato.

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

Applied the gapps-jb-20120711.zip - still no joy. Google search still bombs out. Cleared cache - even cleared data with/without reboots, force stop, etc. Nothing works.

I DID disable the voice input - I wonder if that has something to do with it, as there is no microphone on the KF. I've run across threads/comments in the past saying you can/can't use an external mic with headset - but disabling the voice input for Google didn't do anything either.

Google Search still crashes.

You will have to get back to where you see the Google Now demo and sign-in, then instead of saying yes, click the maybe later option. The search should work. To get back to that login/demo for Google Now I believe I cleared and killed Voice Search then rebooted. FYI, Google Now is working (limited by Fire hardware) with TWA_priv's new JB rom out of the box.
